Chapter 211
Chu Huaiqin and Anthony met at Huanglu for a banquet. Besides Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang, Anthony also brought two screenwriters, and the five of them chatted over a meal.
The press conference for "Star Wars" will be held on the 28th of this month, and filming will start on the 1st of next month. Today is the 17th, and time is very tight. Chu Huaiqin must finish the work on hand and join the crew in the remaining 13 days.
"Your family affairs..." Anthony hesitated. The affairs between Chu Huaiqin and Gao Hui Group had spread abroad and caused a sensation. Many colleagues in the same industry called him, expressing their concerns that Chu Huaiqin's affairs would affect the film.
"Don't worry, Mr. Anthony, this won't affect me." Chu Huaiqin picked up the cup and gestured to Anthony.
"I believe you." Anthony was stunned, then smiled, raising his glass and clinking it with Chu Huaiqin's. Judging from the competition, this guy was no weakling. It seemed his worries were for nothing.
The five of them finished their conversation around 10 p.m., and as they emerged from their room, they unexpectedly bumped into Chen Minghui and a middle-aged man in the hallway. Chen Minghui's face was grim, and his face paled when he saw Chu Huaiqin. The middle-aged man was the quickest to react, stepping forward to greet Xia En.
"Young Master, what a coincidence, we meet again." The middle-aged man took two steps forward and greeted Xia En.
"Who are you?" Xia En had no impression of this man who smiled like a Buddha.
"I even went to Mr. Xia's house to pay New Year's greetings this year. I forgot about my uncle so quickly." The middle-aged man didn't mind Xia En's forgetfulness at all, but Chen Minghui's face changed.
Xia En nodded: "Hello, you and Mr. Chen..."
"Oh, coincidence, coincidence." The middle-aged man repeatedly denied any involvement.
"Really?" Xia En muttered, then thought for a moment and said, "I'm having a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at my old house this year. You're welcome to come."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded in agreement.
"Manager Fang, please get this gentleman a gold card. Remember my name," Xia Entang turned and instructed the hotel manager following behind him. The middle-aged man was again surprised. Not everyone can get a Huanglu gold card. Xia Entang continued, "This is my boyfriend, Chu Huaiqin. Let's have a drink together during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Hello." Chu Huaiqin stretched out his hand, caught a glimpse of Chen Minghui's angry face, and smiled.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and shook hands with Chu Huaiqin. "Hello, hello, Mr. Chu, nice to meet you. I watched Wild Survival. It was so good. You..."
The middle-aged man was quite talkative. He pulled Xia En and Chu Huaiqin aside to talk for a while, and even exchanged business cards with Anthony. However, Chen Minghui was so angry that he stormed out.
After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, they made an appointment with Anthony to meet at the press conference on the 20th, and then drove home.
"Who is he?" Chu Huaiqin was quite curious about the identity of the middle-aged man.
"Him!" Xia Entang leaned over and whispered a few words into Chu Huaiqin's ear. Chu Huaiqin was surprised. No wonder Chen Minghui came to him. However, with Xia Entang's interference, it would be difficult for Chen Minghui to find connections for Chen Zigao.
"By the way, you invited him to your house for the Mid-Autumn Festival without your grandfather's consent. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your grandfather?" Chu Huaiqin was quite curious.
"Don't worry. I'll say it was my brother who asked me to invite him." Xia Entang took it for granted. Thinking of what he had just said, he cautiously glanced at Chu Huaiqin and found that he had closed his eyes and leaned back in the seat to rest. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his heartbeat quickened. He had just said Qingqing was his boyfriend, and he hadn't denied it. Moreover, he had also said that he would go with him to see Grandpa during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Didn't he have anything to ask?
Xia En's mind was full of these two questions, and he didn't know how to ask them until he got home.
Sometimes she felt that Chu Huaiqin had acknowledged their relationship, and sometimes she wondered if Chu Huaiqin didn't know how to refuse her and was pretending nothing happened.
My heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat, sore and painful.
Chu Huaiqin didn't notice Xia En's sentimentality. From that day on, he entered a crazy working state.
Chen Minghui was also working hard to rescue Chen Zigao, and even denied all the evidence Chu Huaiqin provided to the police. However, when Chen Zigao's bodyguard Arnold was arrested and extradited, Chen Zigao was dumbfounded.
Arnold was one of the people involved in the murder.
On the day Arnold was brought into the country, Gao Hui Group's stock plummeted. All the media rushed to Gao Hui Group, the police station where Chen Zigao was guarding, and the Chen family villa, hoping to get first-hand information.
The first two failed to obtain any information. Arnold was taken away by a police car as soon as he left the airport. The gate of Gaohui Group was surrounded by layers of bodyguards, and reporters were unable to squeeze in. Instead, there was information in the Chen family villa.
Reporters had been swarming outside the Chen family villa for a while now, and today, some even attempted to break in. After being trapped for two weeks and worried about her son, Mrs. Chen finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran out to yell at the reporters.
The reporters weren't about to back off just because they were scolded. The microphone was practically shoved into Mrs. Chen's mouth, and the photographers were snapping photos of her losing her composure and cursing. Recently, the news about the Chu and Chen families had been hot, and Chu Huaiqin hadn't appeared in public at all. They couldn't interview him, and no one was there at his home or company, so they had to focus their attention on this.
"Mrs. Chen, do you know anything about Chen Zigao's murder of Chu Huaiqin?"
"Mrs. Chen, some people suspect that your family of three has been plotting to acquire the Chu family's assets from the very beginning. Is that true?"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Chen's face was grim. She reached out to scratch the reporter and screamed, "My Zigao was wrongly accused. It was that bastard Chu Huaiqin who framed him. Go interview him and make him tell the truth."
"But I heard that Chu Huaiqin has handed the evidence to the police, and one of the suspects, Arnold, has also been extradited. The evidence is conclusive. What do you say?"
"Yes, when Chen Zigao killed Chu Huaiqin, was he trying to wipe out the entire family?"
"Do you know about this? Or should I say, does Mr. Chen not know?"
"Once the charges are proven, the sentence will be at least ten years. When Chen Zigao attacked, was he considered a minor?"
"Yes, when Chen Zigao murdered Chu Huaiqin, he was only fourteen years old. How could such a young child have such a thorough plan? Was there someone behind the scenes plotting this?"
"Mrs. Chen, you interfered with the marriage of the Chu family's daughter and forced the mother and son to leave the country. In the end, Chen Zigao..."
"Shut up, shut up, don't mention that bitch. She stole Minghui from me." Mrs. Chen's angry eyes turned crazy when she heard the words "the daughter of the Chu family". She rushed towards the reporter who was asking questions, "That bitch deserves to die. She stole Minghui from me and made Zigao without a father. She should have died long ago. That bastard should have died long ago too. Zigao killed him because he stole Zigao's father. Hahahaha."
"I'm telling you, I, Zigao, am underage. You can't arrest him if he kills someone. He did it abroad, so you have no right to arrest him. Zigao..."
"Madam, that's another matter. Hurry, take Madam back." The housekeeper behind Mrs. Chen was dumbfounded. He knew that Mrs. Chen was mentally ill, especially when she mentioned the daughter of the Chu family. She was like a madman, wanting the daughter of the Chu family to die and to kill Chu Huaiqin. She had said this for more than ten years, but who would have thought that one day she would say it in front of reporters.
The reporters at the scene who were shocked by the wife's words were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses. They saw Mrs. Chen being walked inside by two people who seemed to be supported, but more like being carried. They wanted to rush over to see the person who suddenly became silent, but the housekeeper stopped them.
"Please delete that video. My wife was so worried about the young master that she got so excited that she said something she didn't want to say. Please don't take it personally and delete it immediately." The butler stopped the group and signaled the bodyguards to round up the reporters. But everyone here was shrewd. The photographer immediately hugged his camera and stepped back.
The reporter was also smart. He took the microphone and went to stop the bodyguard. For a while, there was a big commotion in front of the Chen family villa, and even a conflict. In the end, the neighbor called the police and the conflict was settled.
Half an hour later, Chen family news became a hot topic.
#Mrs. Chen admitted that Chen Zigao killed Chu Huaiqin#
#Mrs. Chen threatened that even if Chen Zigao broke the law, no one would dare to touch him#
#Chen family housekeeper beats reporter#
#Twenty-three years ago, was the love between the poor scholar and the rich girl a scam? #
#The death of the Chu family's daughter remains a mystery? #
#Chu Huaiqin, be strong#
"Haha, who brought up this entry?" Chu Huaiqin smiled when he looked at the last entry, but when he scrolled down, his expression changed.
Xia En, who was sitting next to him, looked over and saw an article in which Mrs. Chen called Chu's mother a bitch, and there was also a video in it.
"Don't look at it, it's a dirty eye." Xia Entang snatched Chu Huaiqin's phone, held his hand, and leaned close to Chu Huaiqin and said, "They will definitely pay the price for what they did. And look, everyone is scolding them."
"That's not enough. As long as Gao Hui Group is still around, the Chen family can still turn things around." Chu Huaiqin slid down the sofa and rested his head on Xia En's shoulder. He felt Xia En's body stiffen and his heartbeat so loud that he could hear it. His heart softened and he said, "Chen Minghui has been trying to find connections for Chen Zigao lately. It's time to get him busy."
"Yeah, yeah." Xia Entang nodded repeatedly, straightened his back, and tried his best to prevent Chu Huaiqin, who was resting his head on his shoulder, from falling off. However, he didn't know that his stiff body made Chu Huaiqin feel even more uncomfortable. However, as a person with no experience in love, he thought he was doing a good job.
"So what should we do next? You're about to join the team, so it won't be convenient for you to come out. Leave things to me then." Xia Entropy tried hard to think about how he could help.
"Alas, Xia Entropy."
"What's wrong?"
Xia En became nervous when he suddenly heard Chu Huaiqin sigh.
"You're too nervous. Let me help you relax."
"How can it be easy?"
Xia En was puzzled and turned his head away obediently, but he didn't expect his lips to be suddenly touched by another soft and wet touch that smelled like Chu Huaiqin.
The man in front of him had smiling eyes, and his clear pupils were filled with a man named Xia Entropy.
When Xia Entang was twenty years old, the flowers bloomed.
The author has something to say: I originally wanted to resolve the revenge issue in two or three chapters, but it kept getting longer and longer. However, it should be finished in a few chapters and we can move on to the extra chapter, the Arctic chapter.
In addition, I have been undergoing checkups due to health reasons recently, and my schedule is a bit tight. In addition, "I Conquered the Empire by Brewing Wine" is also being updated, so I may not be able to maintain daily updates in the next few days. I can only update it every other day. Next week, if there are no major health problems, I can go back to daily updates as normal.
