Chapter 593 You should go together
Where did Cheng Xuyuan go?
Cheng Xuyuan has been busy with social interactions these days. Although he always takes Fang Yuqing with him when he goes, he still feels that he owes her something overall.
So while I have some free time today, I took Fang Yuqing to go shopping in Dashilan.
Many stores in Dashilan have begun to change back to their original names.
For example, Donglaishun was changed from Yanjing Shabu Shabu Restaurant.
Although the goods sold on the street basically did not change much, Fang Yuqing was having a lot of fun.
She didn't lack these items; all she wanted was to play with Cheng Xuyuan.
After eating a meal of noodles with soybean paste and carrying two taels of jasmine tea, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing drove back.
Although she had been out for a day, Fang Yuqing was still prepared to ask Cheng Xuyuan to drive her home after dinner.
They didn't expect that when they returned home they would meet Liu Xinwu, Chen Huaikai and others waiting at the gate.
"Old Liu, Director Chen, why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan greeted them quickly while parking the car.
His greeting was only directed at Chen Huaikai and Liu Xinwu. As for the younger person behind them, Cheng Xuyuan just glanced at him.
Before Liu Xinwu could say anything, Chen Huaikai smiled and said, "Xuyuan, I heard that you were back, so I wanted to talk to you about the post-production of Farewell My Concubine."
"Of course, I wish you a happy new year too."
Hearing Chen Huaikai's polite words, Cheng Xuyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Director Chen, we are friends. You are so polite to me, but you are treating me as an outsider."
At this time, Liu Xinwu said, "Xuyuan, I have finished reading your book Crossing the Guandong."
“It’s really well written.”
"I think that once your novel is published, it will definitely resonate with many readers."
"I think the essence of your novel is..."
When Liu Xinwu came, he had a lot to say to Cheng Xuyuan. Now after waiting for a long time, he finally saw Cheng Xuyuan, so he blurted out all his thoughts.
Hearing Liu Xinwu's praise, Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Old Liu, we are old friends. You are flattering me too much by praising me like this."
"I know. We were discussing literature."
"If you don't know, you would think we are flattering each other."
Liu Xinwu chuckled and said, "Xuyuan, those who don't watch your story about crossing Guandong may think that I am flattering you, but those who watch it will understand that the word flattery is really inadequate to describe my feelings at the moment."
Looking at Liu Xinwu who looked calm, Cheng Xuyuan felt helpless.
Chen Huaikai smiled and said, "Xuyuan, Xinwu, I know your level."
"If anyone says that you two are flattering each other, I'll be the first one to not believe it."
After hearing what the two said, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Director Chen, Lao Liu, let's not stand outside here anymore. Let's go inside and talk."
Although Fang Yuqing is usually very clingy to Cheng Xuyuan, she behaves very well when guests come.
Not only does he speak fluently, but he can also quickly prepare various hospitality items.
After Cheng Xuyuan and others sat down, Fang Yuqing had already brought up various snacks and melon seeds.
Xiao Chen couldn't get a word in at all during the conversation between Cheng Xuyuan and others.
His attention was inexplicably attracted by Fang Yuqing.
In his eyes, this was almost a perfect girl.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very virtuous, and her eyes are like crescent moons when she smiles.
Cheng Xuyuan is really lucky to have found such a good girl.
Although I am talented and more handsome than Cheng Xuyuan, but...
Just when Xiao Chen was thinking about something, he heard his father suddenly say in a deep voice: "What were you thinking about just now? Why don't you tell your uncle Cheng what you think of the play Farewell My Concubine?"
Chen Huaikai is rarely strict with his son, but today he was really a little angry.
He had finally managed to bring the topic to his son, with the hope that his son would become familiar to Cheng Xuyuan.
If there is anything good in the future, Cheng Xuyuan can think of his son.
Although Cheng Xuyuan knew his purpose clearly, he was very cooperative and took the initiative to ask about his son.
This is giving yourself face.
But I don’t know what my silly son is thinking at such a critical moment.
It's really abominable.
But in front of Cheng Xuyuan and Liu Xinwu, he could only glare at his son severely.
"Cheng... Writer Cheng, I think your Farewell My Concubine not only reflects the protagonist's life, but also the protagonist's experiences and the times..."
Xiao Chen is considered a talented person. Moreover, he has been immersed in the play Farewell My Concubine for a long time, so he hit the main points as soon as he opened his mouth.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded secretly, and a smile appeared on Chen Huaikai's face.
Cheng Xuyuan waited for Xiao Chen to finish speaking before he spoke in a deep voice, "For this novel, I think the most important thing is the thinking behind the story. Actually..."
In one breath, Cheng Xuyuan talked about the problems in the adaptation of Farewell My Concubine and also talked about the subsequent plot.
After listening to Cheng Xuyuan, Xiao Chen's face showed admiration.
Although he was a little jealous of Cheng Xuyuan, who was younger than him, this did not prevent him from admiring Cheng Xuyuan.
While Xiao Chen was chewing on what Cheng Xuyuan had said, Chen Huaikai had already said, "How come you don't even have a little manners, kid?"
"Don't call me Cheng Xuyuan, Cheng Xuyuan anymore. Is that what you call me?"
"Remember to call me uncle."
Although Xiao Chen was very unconvinced in his heart, facing his father's serious look, Xiao Chen finally chose to compromise.
He did it not for Cheng Xuyuan, but for his father.
Facing Xiao Chen's awkward address of uncle, Cheng Xuyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Director Chen, let's just talk about our own affairs."
"Xiao Chen and I are about the same age, so we young people should just call each other by our first names."
"Old Chen, don't replace the young people's ideas with your own."
Xiao Chen agreed very much with Cheng Xuyuan's words, but after hearing the end, he felt something was not right.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan still put him in the position of a friend of his father.
This seemed to be correct, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
The three of them had dinner at Cheng Xuyuan's house. Cheng Xuyuan did not drink because he was seeing Fang Yuqing off. However, Chen Huaikai and Liu Xinwu shared Cheng Xuyuan's bottle of Moutai.
Although half a pound of wine was not enough to make Chen Huaikai drunk, he was a little tipsy when he spoke.
So much so that when leaving Cheng Xuyuan's house, Chen Huaikai insisted that his son pay New Year's greetings to his aunt Fang Yuqing.
Of course, this drunken request ended with Fang Yuqing running away on her own.
After seeing off the guests, Cheng Xuyuan drove Fang Yuqing home.
At this time in the streets of Yanjing, although the sound of firecrackers could still be heard from time to time, the number of pedestrians on the streets had become fewer and fewer.
"Xuyuan, Director Chen seems to be really drunk. He insisted on asking his son to wish me a happy new year. I am not even older than his son. It's really embarrassing."
Cheng Xuyuan listened to Fang Yuqing's complaints and smiled, "Old Chen is hoping that I can give his son more guidance in the future."
"His son is quite capable, but he is also a little too self-righteous in character."
“And once you achieve success, it’s easy to lose control of yourself.”
After listening to Cheng Xuyuan's analysis, Fang Yuqing was silent for a while, and said with a hint of emotion: "How pitiful are the parents in the world!"
After saying this, Fang Yuqing suddenly turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, will you be like Director Chen in the future for Xiao An'an?"
Hearing this question, Cheng Xuyuan fell into deep thought.
Finally, he said, "If Xiao An'an can walk her own path well, I naturally won't have to do this."
"And if Xiao An'an really needs my help as a father, I think I would be like Lao Chen."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan continued, "When it comes to our son, I'm afraid you won't be as good as me."
Fang Yuqing was blinking her eyes, wanting to hear Cheng Xuyuan's true feelings, but she didn't expect that this guy would actually bring the topic to herself.
My face turned red for a moment.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to have a son with you?" Fang Yuqing said coquettishly.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "If we can't have a son, then let's have a daughter. A daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket."
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's nonsense, Fang Yuqing's mood inexplicably improved a lot.
When the car was about to arrive at Shijingshan, she changed the subject and asked, "Xuyuan, when are you going to the United States?"
"It's after the 15th." Cheng Xuyuan felt that he had already asked Fang Yuqing this question, but when Fang Yuqing asked it this time, he still answered with a smile.
Fang Yuqing asked, "This time when you go to the United States, you will still transfer from the East China Sea like last time, right?"
Before Cheng Xuyuan could answer, Fang Yuqing continued, "Why don't you go with Xiao An'an?"
"It's not convenient for Shen Yumo to take care of the child alone. If you go to Donghai together, there will be someone to take care of him."
"I mean this completely sincerely."
Hearing Fang Yuqing say this, Cheng Xuyuan gently stopped the car to the side, then reached out and held Fang Yuqing's hand.
At this moment he wanted to say something, but for a moment he was unable to utter it.
Fang Yuqing said: "Don't worry, I will help you with this matter."
"I'll ask my uncle about your flight time tomorrow, and then ask someone to buy two tickets for Shen Yumo and the others."
This is what Fang Yuqing said and did.
The next afternoon, Fang Yuqing came to Cheng Xuyuan's residence with two plane tickets.
Looking at the ticket for the same flight as his, Cheng Xuyuan reached out and hugged Fang Yuqing in his arms.
He knew in his heart that Fang Yuqing did all this for her.
She and Shen Yumo, and she and Xiao Anan, don't have a very deep relationship.
The reason why she bought these plane tickets was to make herself feel at ease.
Cheng Xuyuan was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Fang Yuqing's kindness.
The plane tickets had been bought, and Cheng Xuyuan couldn't let Fang Yuqing give the tickets away, so after going shopping with Fang Yuqing, Cheng Xuyuan decided to give the tickets away.
Regarding the gift of plane tickets, Cheng Xuyuan invited Fang Yuqing to go, but Fang Yuqing chose to go by himself.
According to Fang Yuqing, if she went, it might have a counterproductive effect, so it would be better for Cheng Xuyuan to go alone.
Cheng Xuyuan knew that it was indeed a bit too difficult for Fang Yuqing to accompany him to deliver the plane tickets, so he did not insist. After sending Fang Yuqing home, he drove to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.
Half of the rooms in the Overseas Chinese Apartment had lights on at this time, and the window position that Cheng Xuyuan was familiar with was especially brightly lit.
Judging from the way the lights were turned on, could it be that Shen Yumo and Xiao Anan were not the only ones at home?
While hesitating, Cheng Xuyuan still strode towards his residence.
In the past, Cheng Xu had no hesitation in walking this distance, after all, this place belonged to him.
But now, when Cheng Xuyuan walked this road again, he felt a lot more uneasy.
Is it appropriate for me to go there at this time?
Is there anyone else at home besides Shen Yumo? If you encounter...
"Mr. Cheng, Happy New Year." A voice with a hint of stiffness suddenly sounded in Cheng Xuyuan's ears.
Hearing the sound, Cheng Xuyuan realized that he was meeting his neighbor head-on.
Although the two were not on the same floor, they often met each other, so they gradually got to know each other.
Of course, this kind of acquaintance is just a greeting when meeting.
It means that we are not strangers to each other.
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Ms. Li, Happy New Year."
"You didn't go home for the New Year?"
Ms. Li is in her twenties and is currently attending school. When she heard Cheng Xuyuan's question, she smiled and said, "I feel that celebrating the New Year here is more festive, so I didn't leave."
"By the way, I see there seems to be someone else at your house?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "He's a relative of mine. He came back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year and has no place to stay for the time being."
"I just stayed at my house."
When Ms. Li heard Cheng Xuyuan say this, she seemed to be relieved and said, "Mr. Cheng, this is great. I thought you had moved away."
"In that case, it will be troublesome for me to ask you questions."
After Cheng Xuyuan chatted with Ms. Li for a few words, he arrived at the door of her house. Before he knocked on the door, he heard the conversation inside.
But I couldn't hear who was talking through the door.
Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to knock on the door.
No matter what, since I'm here, I shouldn't leave in a panic. If I do, I'll seem a little guilty.
In just half a minute, the door opened.
It was Shen Yulin who opened the door. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xuyuan, why are you here?"
After saying this, Shen Yulin seemed to feel that the level of his words was not high.
After all, this is Cheng Xuyuan's home. Logically, it is Cheng Xuyuan who stays here, and he and others are outsiders.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't care about Shen Yulin's unintentional words. He smiled and said, "Second brother, I have something to ask Yu Mo."
"Is it convenient for me to come in now?"
Shen Yulin hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, someone asked, "Yulin, who is it?"
This time, Cheng Xuyuan heard clearly who was speaking. It was Li Xueling, his ex-mother-in-law.
When Shen Yulin heard his mother's question, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Mom, it's..."
While Shen Yulin was speaking, he blinked quickly at Cheng Xuyuan.
The meaning is very clear, if you leave now, it's still not too late.
However, Cheng Xuyuan, who had already calmed down, was not moved at all by Shen Yulin's suggestion. He just smiled at Shen Yulin.
This kind of smile is actually a statement.
Knowing Cheng Xuyuan's attitude, Shen Yulin hurriedly said, "Mom, Cheng Xuyuan is here."
After hearing Shen Yulin's words, the voices that were originally talking loudly suddenly became quiet.
"Let's go in." Cheng Xuyuan said to Shen Yulin when he heard the silence.
Shen Yulin sighed and walked towards the living room.
At this time, not only Shen Yumo was in the living room, but also Shen Yunliang and Li Xueling were there.
They all sat around, looking at little An An who was just starting to walk.
Although little An An'an's walking was not so steady at this time, but looking at his pace, one could still feel that he could walk.
When Cheng Xuyuan came over, he was still worried about various things in his heart, but at this moment, looking at Xiao An An walking towards him, he suddenly felt excited.
Little An An can walk now.
That's really great.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, Xiao Anan giggled and walked towards him.
Little An An, with his arms outstretched, walked crookedly, as if he would fall if he wasn't careful.
Cheng Xuyuan stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hand to protect his son who was about to fall.
“Hehe…”
Throwing herself into Cheng Xuyuan's arms, little An An laughed out loud.
With the laughter, the atmosphere in the house became much better.
Shen Yunliang's expression also improved a little at this time.
He did not speak immediately, but quietly looked at Xiao An An who was playing with Cheng Xuyuan, and then sighed softly.
"Cheng Xuyuan, is there something you need?" The speaker was Li Xueling. Although she was not planning to cause trouble with Cheng Xuyuan, she felt uncomfortable after all when she saw Cheng Xuyuan.
It was this guy who not only sent her precious daughter to the East China Sea, but also had a child for unknown reasons.
And he also wants...
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Aunt Li, aren't Yumo and An'an going back to Donghai? It just so happens that I have to transfer in Donghai, so I bought two more tickets to Donghai."
"This way we can go back together."
"It's good to have someone to take care of you on the way."
Shen Yunliang knew that Cheng Xuyuan was going to attend the Oscars.
When he heard that Cheng Xuyuan gave plane tickets to Shen Yumo and Xiao An'an, he felt a little more favorable towards Cheng Xuyuan.
Li Xueling snorted and said, "Do you think that Yu Mo and the others living here are disturbing your life, so you want them to go back?"
Shen Yunliang frowned, he felt that his wife's words were a bit low level.
Why would Cheng Xuyuan care about a house?
He has plenty of places to live in Yanjing now, so even if he gives the Overseas Chinese Apartment to Yu Mo and the children, he shouldn't feel that bad.
"Xueling." Shen Yunliang said solemnly. Although he only mentioned a name, Li Xueling understood the meaning of his words.
Cheng Xuyuan took this opportunity to explain: "Uncle Shen, Aunt Li, I'm worried that it's not safe for Yu Mo and Xiao An An to go back."
"If they are willing to live here, then that's fine."
Li Xueling was about to speak, but Shen Yunliang said, "Yumo, do you want to go back with Cheng Xuyuan, or do you want your second brother to take you back in a few days?"
