Chapter 65
The viewers in the live stream were stunned.
[Brother, danger!! Put Mr. Xu down quickly!!]
[What are you doing, you silly goose?! Are you out of your mind?!]
[Pfft, the tree branch has come to life, hahaha!]
[Hey, hey, hey, don't laugh at our little brother! Don't you know that supernatural beings aren't allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China? What will we watch if he gets arrested?]
[OMG, Mr. Xu looks even more handsome with his cold face! Holy crap, I'm suddenly shipping these two brothers!]
The laughs were so frequent in just a few minutes that the He Nianzhu brothers both became trending topics.
#Xu Qingyan's desire to kill someone is impossible to hide in his eyes#
#He Nianzhu carrying Xu Qingyan in a princess carry#
#BrothersAreSoGoodToSupport#
#The branch of the bamboo tree becomes a spirit#
#He Nianzhu is a real heartthrob#
Since the brotherly relationship between Xu Qingyan and He Nianzhu was revealed, "My Dearest Baby" has become a must-watch variety show for all employees of Senming Group every day.
Is it because he's with his family? I always feel that the CEO on variety shows is more approachable and kind.
There was another peculiar reason: they were pleasantly surprised to find that the CEO was not photogenic, and the camera only captured about 70% of his good looks!
Seeing the barrage of comments praising the screen, the employees proudly puffed out their chests, a sense of superiority welling up within them.
Ugh, a bunch of ignorant fools. This is nothing! The CEO is a hundred times more handsome in person than on TV!
The employees, feeling proud, were happily diving in, until the next second, they saw the president being given a princess carry by the top celebrity in front of everyone. The president, who was usually indifferent and restrained to the point of being almost ruthless, had veins bulging on his forehead and his fair face flushed.
He seems quite angry.
Is this something they can see?
The employees were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
In the quiet office area, the employees watching the live stream let out a thunderous "Holy crap!"
Suddenly meeting the gaze of the crowd: "...Pfft."
I don't know who started laughing first, but it spread from one to the other, and soon the huge office area was filled with waves of joyful laughter.
The CEO's expression was hilarious. I never thought that even the aloof and unapproachable CEO could be so embarrassed and lose his composure.
Suddenly, the CEO doesn't seem so scary anymore.

Butler Zeng's wrinkled but clear eyes curved into a smile. It had been a long time since the house had been this lively.
His gaze fell subtly on Qiao Wen, and his smile deepened. The old lady must be very happy too.
A fleeting, soft light crossed Qiao Wen's stern and serious face.
The children played and frolicked until lunchtime. Qiao Wen sat in the main seat, with her two adorable little ones sitting on either side of her.
A table laden with delicacies, its aroma filling the air, was set out. Photographer Xiao Chen only managed to take a short while before Butler Zeng arranged for him to eat and rest.
The family gathering was a rare opportunity for a big shot, and Xiao Chen hesitated to refuse, but Butler Zeng's attitude was gentle yet firm. Under the powerful aura of the He family, Xiao Chen gave in.
Director Chang Yi's face twitched and his neck turned red as he listened to the in-ear monitor. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that even he didn't have a good solution.
Forget about He Nianzhu, Qiao Wen and Xu Qingyan are figures who can make the business world tremble with just a word.
Without the constant surveillance of cameras, the family felt much more relaxed and at ease.
Xu Qingyan and Jiang Yan just got their marriage certificate, and today is the day Jiang Yan, the new bride, enters the family home, making the ordinary family banquet extraordinary.
This family dinner was originally supposed to be hosted by the mother-in-law, Xu Yirou, but Xu Yirou is now an innocent four-year-old child, the family's beloved mascot.
So, going with the flow, Qiao Wen, the patriarch of the He family, took her place.
"Yanyan." Qiao Wen didn't like to waste words and got straight to the point, "From today onwards, we are family. I won't say nice things. You and Ayan should live a good life. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me anytime."
Qiao Wen lowered her voice, a rare occurrence, and looked at Jiang Yan with gentle eyes: "This is a small gift from me as an elder to you. Happy wedding."
She gently raised her hand, and the housekeeper, understanding her intention, handed Jiang Yan the white paper contract that had been prepared earlier.
Confused, Jiang Yan glanced down at the document, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise. This was... a house transfer contract?
Xu Qingyan also saw it, but he was not surprised at all, and slowly looked away as if it were just a small gift.
She spoke confidently and calmly, "Thank you, Grandma."
...
Is "thank you" all you want?
That's a house in the Second Ring Road! Such an expensive gift, Jiang Yan felt like she was burning her hands with envy.
She comes from an ordinary family, and her current wealth is entirely due to her hard work and dedication in the entertainment industry, which she has built step by step.
Such a stroke of good fortune is extremely rare.
"Grandma, Ayan has already bought a new house, I..."
After hearing the beginning, Qiao Wen had an idea: "Since that's the case, I heard from A Yan that you like acting. Do you have any scripts you like? I'll invest in them."
"Three hundred million, is that enough?"
"..."
Jiang Yan: No, does your He family all like to use money to bribe people?
Their style is really simple and crude.
Three hundred million is more than enough to make a fantasy drama; even a pig could fly!
—Except for the ugly children of capitalists.
Qiao Wen turned her head and asked, "Ayan, does your family own a film and television company?"
After she retired, she relinquished her authority and stopped managing affairs, so she doesn't remember some things very clearly.
"Yes, Grandma, there is a film and television media company."
"Build a professional team for Yan Yan, so she won't have any worries," Qiao Wen stated frankly and seriously. "Invest where it's necessary."
"Okay, Grandma."
The old lady's words were exactly what Xu Qingyan wanted to hear, and he agreed without any hesitation.
He had seen Jiang Yan's past interview videos and knew that she had many roles she wanted to try, but due to the chaos in the industry, there weren't many scripts to choose from.
Who would have thought that a family dinner would attract such a large investment? Jiang Yan was in a daze: Wasn't it said that marrying into a wealthy family was like entering a deep sea? Wasn't it said that wealthy families had many rules and were ruthless?
They're giving away houses and resources; I'd never even dare to dream of something this big.
Before the marriage, Xu Qingyan repeatedly assured her that the marriage would not affect her freedom and career, but she took it as just sweet talk that men usually use.
Now, seeing how Qiao Wen treated her, Jiang Yan understood.
Dramas that are full of melodramatic plots poison people's minds and do them a lot of harm. Now look at her, she's a dog!
"As for that house," Qiao Wen continued, "then let's give it to the young lady."
"Old Zeng, have Attorney Fang rewrite the contract and change the name to Bubble."
Butler Zeng: "Yes, Madam."
A 500-square-meter villa suddenly appeared in Beijing's Second Ring Road; Bubble took her first step towards becoming a rich woman: 0.0
Jiang Yan: !!!
"No, no, Grandma, that house is too expensive. Bubble is still a child, she can't live there yet."
Qiao Wen always kept her word: "It's alright, let her live here when she grows up. I can't favor one over the other."
If the granddaughter-in-law gets a gift, how can the great-granddaughter not?
She gracefully turned her head slowly and said, "Bubble, your great-grandmother is giving you a house. You can do whatever you want with it."
Bubble suddenly sat up straight, its little tuft of hair twitching like a foxtail grass. It stopped eating its chicken leg, but its round eyes shone brightly.
"Really, Great-Grandma?"
"certainly."
"Grandma, is that house big? How many people can live there?"
Upon hearing Bubble's question, Qiao Wen's expression gradually hardened, and she frowned and fell silent.
She owns numerous properties, but as she gets older, her memory declines. She can vaguely remember where she owns properties, but not the specific layout of the houses.
Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat. Although her daughter's little money-grubber look was cute, it might not be so pleasing to others.
Just as I was about to smooth things over, Qiao Wen spoke up again leisurely: "I don't remember how many rooms that house has, but it shouldn't be a problem for twenty or thirty people. The lawyer will take you to see the house this afternoon."
Bubble: "!!!"
Can it accommodate twenty or thirty people?
Bubble's ten fingers and ten short, chubby toes curled up to the ground. My goodness, what a huge house!
She can live with her parents, grandparents, great-grandmothers, and friends for many, many years!
With rice grains still clinging to her little mouth, she gave a thumbs-up and loudly flattered, "Great-Grandma, you're such a jerk!"
yyds?
Qiao Wen quickly went through all the English words in her mind, and even flipped through the words of less common languages, but still couldn't come up with anything.
She asked, "What does that mean?"
"I know!" Xu Yirou raised her chubby hand high. "Bubble told me, and I remember!"
The little girl was chubby like a little lucky doll, easily melting people's hearts. Qiao Wen's cold voice softened a bit: "Then you tell me, chubby."
Xu Yirou's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents: "Mom, Bubble is saying that you are her eternal god, her idol. Bubble likes you very much."
like……
Qiao Wen's lips tightened, and her innocent and straightforward words unexpectedly touched her heartstrings.
Having experienced being avoided by her son and grandchildren, she had long since categorized herself as one of the people unwelcome by children.
Besides Rou Rou, Bubble also likes her, isn't afraid to get close to her, and even regards her as an idol?
Qiao Wen didn't think she was that good to Paopao. Paopao wasn't the first junior she had given gifts to. To her, cars and houses were no different from cabbages and rice at the market.
It's just an ordinary gift; is it really worth being moved by?
Xu Yirou and Paopao took turns using sweet talk to coax Qiao Wen into secretly being happy, making it difficult for her to maintain her signature poker face.
The two little ones were a perfect mood-maker, and it was the first time that Xu Qingyan and He Nianzhu had enjoyed such a harmonious family dinner at the He family's old house.
At this time of family reunion, Xu Niancheng, thousands of miles away, was filled with longing. The Q-version little figure above her head was biting a handkerchief, her eyes glistening with tears.
It's been N days since my mom left. I miss her, I miss her, I miss her.
He Nianzhu ate to his heart's content. After being scorned by the cub's mother, he jumped up and down in frustration while also silently reflecting on his actions.
He lost over ten kilograms during his recovery period, and coupled with not exercising, he looked noticeably thinner.
He couldn't do strenuous exercise with his lower body, but his upper body was fine. While showing off his food, He Nianzhu planned to go home and lift weights.
Two days ago, the variety show premiered, and the director of "My Master is a Black Lotus" mustered up the courage to probe his thoughts, hoping to finish filming the few remaining scenes as soon as possible.
Actually, it's not impossible. He Nianzhu thought to himself that the remaining scenes consisted of less than 10% action scenes, so a stunt double could be used.
Since his darling is urging him to change the map anyway, he might as well bring his mother to the set to finish filming the rest of the scenes. That way, his mother won't be bored, and the show's ratings will also increase.
That's the best of both worlds.
He Nianzhu's plan was perfect, but things didn't go as planned. That very night, the cub's mother suddenly developed a high fever.
Chaos erupted at home once again.
