Chapter 214
Although Chu Huaiqin joined the crew, the Chu family's affairs did not stop. On the first day of filming, Chen Minghui was summoned. Those who intended to judge Chu Huaiqin based on filial piety were criticized by the old man of the Chu family's old friends. In this war between Chu Huaiqin and Chen Minghui, those predecessors undoubtedly made great contributions to Chu Huaiqin's reputation.
After joining the crew, Chu Huaiqin had plenty of time to spare. Besides filming, he also had to go out from time to time to follow up on the case of Chen Zigao and Chen Minghui. Xia En followed Chu Huaiqin around the crew, running around, and the young master of the Xia family was now doing the work of serving tea and water, which made Chu Huaiqin feel distressed.
Xia Huang called several times, trying to get Xia En to come back, but Xia En scolded him, arguing with his brother so loudly that the entire crew could almost hear. Chu Huaiqin also mentioned it a few times, but whenever he did, he would look at him with moist eyes, leaving him speechless.
"What are you worried about?" Chu Huaiqin tapped Xia En's forehead.
Xia En didn't reply. He just followed Chu Huaiqin for a long time before asking, "What should I do if you're missing?"
It seems Xia Entang hasn't gotten over what happened back then; he's surprisingly sensitive. However, aside from looking particularly unhappy when Chu Huaiqin was filming his scenes with Wade, Xia Entang was otherwise quite cheerful, which gave Chu Huaiqin pause about forcing him to go back.
The crew had been filming for more than a month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. When Xia En received a call from Xia Huang, he suddenly remembered that he had not confirmed the Mid-Autumn Festival with Chu Huaiqin.
"OK!" Anthony's voice echoed from the theater. "Next, we're filming the scene where the Marshal arrives at Qiongya Terrace. Take a break. Chu, you don't have any scenes these days, so you can go back and rest. Next week, we're filming the scene where the President of the Creation leads 500 elite soldiers and fights to the death to cut off the enemy's rear. This scene can't go wrong, so go back and think about it carefully these next few days."
The show is over.
Xia En hastily went over with his coat in hand. It was already autumn and they were filming in the mountains. The temperature was a bit low and it was easy to catch a cold, so Xia En almost never took off his coat.
"My dear!" Xia En handed the water to Chu Huaiqin. Seeing him looking over, he said, "I told you before at Huanglu that we should visit Grandpa together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Chu Huaiqin took a sip of water, which was warm and just right. "Saturday is Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Tomorrow you will accompany me to visit some of Grandpa's old friends. Let's go to your house on Saturday!"
Saturday is Mid-Autumn Festival. Chu Huaiqin will have three days off because he has no films. In addition, Anthony respects China's festival on Mid-Autumn Festival and decides to take one day off. In this way, he will have four days off.
Xia En nodded repeatedly and quickly told Xia Huang about Chu Huaiqin's return to the old house.
The two got in the car and left the crew.
Mr. Chu has three good friends, all of whom are great artists. Their favorite things in life are either blue and white porcelain or antique calligraphy and paintings. Chu Huaiqin picked out a few pieces from his home and took Xia En with him.
The old man was nostalgic. Seeing Chu Huaiqin, his eyes turned red. He pulled Chu Huaiqin and beat and scolded him. It had been so many years, and he hadn't come to see them. Did they have to support their old bones to go find him? Back then, when Grandpa Chu was still alive, Chu Huaiqin was still a little kid. At that time, he called him "Grandpa" so affectionately. How could he not recognize him after going abroad to learn some foreign knowledge?
Xia En stood aside, listening anxiously, and explained, "Brother, he hasn't forgotten, he has always remembered it!"
"You don't have to tell me, I wouldn't know." The old man was still not confused. He knew that Chu Huaiqin didn't want to take advantage of them after the Chu family fell. He wiped his tears and looked at Xia En from head to toe, making him sweat. The old man asked, "Who is this?"
"My boyfriend, Xia En." Chu Huaiqin pulled Xia En over and they stood together.
After scanning the Xia family with his sharp eyes, the old man nodded and said, "The Xia family's child is okay, and the family tradition is still good. But, what does his family say? If they disagree, let's go talk to that old man."
"I don't disagree. I agree, I agree." Xia En said repeatedly.
"Tsk, how can he be so naive, just like a little child." The old man said dissatisfiedly.
Xia En's face turned red instantly, and he felt a little helpless. His brother also said that he was childish.
He looked at Chu Huaiqin with an uneasy look.
"I like it. The child has a good temper." Chu Huaiqin reached out and held Xia En's hand, saying firmly.
The old man nodded. Without a good father and with a worrying mother, Chu Huaiqin was precocious, so it was no surprise that Xia Entang liked children. However, "It's okay to be immature. You have to be responsible. Think about it..."
The old man took Chu Huaiqin to talk about the past, and talked about the stories of the four old men. They all agreed to live to be a hundred years old. Who would have thought that old man Chu would be angry to death first!
After successfully visiting the three elderly people, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. Knowing that this time he is going to visit the old man, Chu Huaiqin is a little nervous. He had already made the clothes in advance. They were just delivered today. Chu Huaiqin will try them first. If there are any problems, he can make changes in time.
"Qingqing, when we meet Grandpa tomorrow, we'll be considered to have met each other's parents." Xia Entang hugged Chu Huaiqin from behind. The day after returning from the wilderness survival mission, Chu Huaiqin took Xia Entang to visit the graves of his grandfather and mother. Therefore, Xia Entang had blurted out in the hotel that Chu Huaiqin should go meet Grandpa.
"Well! And then?" Chu Huaiqin looked at Xia En with amusement through the mirror.
"Just, just," Xia En buried his head in Chu Huaiqin's neck and whispered, "Get married."
Chu Huaiqin was stunned and retracted the smile on his lips. He thought of Anthony.
China is very tolerant of same-sex love now, otherwise someone wouldn't have paired him up with Xia Entang from the beginning. But he can't accept it 100%. He is a star, and he can make the decision to give up his star status and be with Xia Entang without hesitation. It's just that "Star Wars" is being filmed, and he is afraid that it will affect it. It seems that he has to inform Anthony in advance.
Xia En waited for a long time but received no answer from Chu Huaiqin. Feeling a little flustered, he raised his head and saw Chu Huaiqin's pensive face in the mirror, which made his heart ache.
He doesn't want to.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xia En's eyes turned red.
"Why are you still so crybaby?" Chu Huaiqin sighed softly, turned around, and looked at Xia En seriously. "After meeting your grandfather tomorrow, if he doesn't object, we'll get married."
Xia En was ecstatic, but still retorted, "We'll get married even if we oppose it."
"Okay, let's get married even if you object." Chu Huaiqin said with a smile.
The Xia family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was unusual. The attendees were all well-known figures in China, and security was extremely tight. Even before Chu Huaiqin arrived, he saw the layers of inspections. Xia En had been summoned by his grandfather last night, so Chu Huaiqin had to come alone today.
Chu Huaiqin drove over and was stopped before entering Xia's house.
"Show me your invitation, please!"
The security guard knocked on Chu Huaiqin's car window. When the window rolled down and he saw Chu Huaiqin's face, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, pointing at Chu Huaiqin and stammering.
“Chu, Chu, Chu…”
"Hello, I don't have an invitation, but..."
"No invitation is needed. No invitation is needed. Mr. Xia said yesterday that family members coming home don't need an invitation."
After the security guard finished speaking, he quickly let people pass.
Chu Huaiqin started the car, thought about it, and smiled.
This wasn't Chu Huaiqin's first time at the Xia residence, but it was the first time he'd seen such strict security. With a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps, he felt incredibly nervous. When the car pulled up to the Xia residence, Chu Huaiqin spotted Xia Entang waiting for him in the front yard. Seeing his car, he quickly approached.
Chu Huaiqin found a parking space and parked. As soon as he stepped out of the car, Xia Entang hugged him tightly.
"Why are you so late?" Xia En had been waiting for Chu Huaiqin for a long time, but he hadn't seen him come yet, and he was wondering if Chu Huaiqin would go back on his word.
"There are still fifteen minutes before the banquet starts!" Chu Huaiqin replied, turning around and taking out some gifts from the car.
"Why are you still carrying things? We have everything at home, no need to bring anything." Xia En reached out to help take it and led the group in. Along the way, they met many noble ladies and some elders. Everyone was surprised to see Chu Huaiqin appear, but the young people were lively and walked directly to Chu Huaiqin to say hello.
Xia Entropy: “…”
"Chu Huaiqin, I'm a fan of Wilderness Survival. I always thought that it was painful for China not to win the championship. I didn't expect that this year..."
"Mr. Chu, I'm a fan of 'Star Wars'. Where is the filming going now? Can I visit the set?"
"Are you familiar with Anthony? Did he say when Star Wars would be released?"
Several young teenagers enthusiastically approached Chu Huaiqin and immediately pushed Xia Entang away.
Xia Entang, angry!
Chu Huaiqin is popular among young people, but for some older middle-aged people, Chu Huaiqin's appearance makes them uncomfortable.
"How can a celebrity attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the Xia residence?"
"He's trying to seduce Young Master Xia! I heard he was trying to please Young Master during the wilderness survival variety show."
"Don't you consider their status? The young master brings everyone home. Does the old man like it?"
The words were neither loud nor soft, and everyone present heard them clearly. Xia En's face changed, and he took a step forward, but before he could say anything, Chu Huaiqin pulled him back. Chu Huaiqin smiled at the group, and the middle-aged men and women in front of him were frightened and opened their mouths.
"Of course my old man likes it. Who are you?"
An old voice sounded behind everyone. Looking over, it was Father Xia who was helping Old Man Xia out.
When they heard what the old man said, their faces turned pale.
Several of the people here were brought by their elders to see the world and had good backgrounds themselves. When they saw Chu Huaiqin, a small star, coming over, they naturally felt uncomfortable and felt that this lowered their own status.
In addition, the matter between Chu Huaiqin and Chen Minghui had caused a lot of controversy. In their opinion, it was a son suing his father, and Old Man Xia would definitely not like such a person, so he spoke with contempt. But now, was the old man standing up for him?
"Old housekeeper, you don't even know where you came from or how you got in. Why don't you please get out?" Old Master Xia blew his beard and glared, turning his gaze towards Chu Huaiqin and Xia En, "You don't even know how to talk back when you're being scolded."
After saying that, Old Man Xia turned and walked back into the house. After a few steps, he saw that the two men hadn't caught up with him, so he turned back and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go home."
Chu Huaiqin and Xia En exchanged a glance. Was the old man angry that they didn't fight back when being bullied?
But, go home!
Chu Huaiqin looked up at the sky. Does he have a home again?
