"Li Donglai, that's an insult. Are you trying to make me sell my daughter?"
He Zhongting slammed his hand on the table.
However, he kept glancing at the wine pot on the table out of the corner of his eye.
That's his love for alcohol!
I must go back and copy a 10,000-word guide to wifely conduct!
What time is it, and you're still thinking about alcohol!
Shen Jun saw this and his face turned ashen.
While He Zhongting's behavior was partly due to his appearance, the biggest reason stemmed from Li Donglai standing before him.
She had assumed that Li Donglai had invited her and her husband here to discuss the details of their collaboration.
Who would have thought that this cunning old woman would propose that her precious daughter debut in the entertainment industry!
This is absolutely outrageous!
No wonder he kept telling her to bring her daughter along.
"Li Donglai, what do you take my Shen family for?"
At first glance, Shen Jun's tone was calm.
But anyone could hear the sharpness hidden in his words.
"Aren't you two making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Li Donglai disagreed.
He poured himself a glass of wine, first raising it to He Zhongting across from him, and then drinking it all in one gulp.
This attitude infuriated He Zhongting.
As a connoisseur of wine, I don't even need to sniff; I can tell from my senses that this wine is absolutely a top-quality brew!
This is a drunkard's sixth sense.
It works every time!
"fuss?"
Shen Jun was on the verge of exploding: "You, Li Donglai, are so open and aboveboard, why don't you let your own son debut?"
"My son?"
Li Donglai blinked, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Have you heard of 'Ten Years in the Human World'?"
Shen Jun clenched his fists secretly, trying to tell himself to restrain himself.
She had naturally heard of "Ten Years in the Human World," and even "The Song of the Pipa."
But what does it represent?
Both of these songs were written by Fusheng.
Even in a special place like Washington, it has a certain degree of popularity.
She does not deny that "Ten Years in the Human World" is excellent.
But this was written by Fusheng. Fusheng isn't your son. Why are you showing it off like this?
etc!
Shen Jun seemed to have made a connection to something.
Not only her, but He Zhongting, who had been looking displeased, was also stunned for a moment.
The couple exchanged a glance, and Shen Jun then looked at Li Donglai: "Is Li Mubai your son?"
"What? Didn't I mention it to you?"
Li Donglai, with a mysterious expression, poured wine into the cup again.
However, He Zhongting was not tempted at this moment, but was shocked.
"Is Li Mubai really your son?"
"What? Is he your son?"
Li Donglai put down his wine glass and tilted his head slightly: "If you're thinking about that, really, I don't mind at all."
After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Chen Xihua beside him.
Shen Jun, who had just looked surprised, immediately darkened his face after seeing Li Donglai's expression: "Keep your precious son to yourself, the Shen family doesn't care."
"That's not how it works, actually..."
He Zhongting still maintained a look of deep emotion.
Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine.
He glanced at Shen Jun subconsciously, and almost cried when he saw his wife's ambiguous smile.
He glanced at his right hand, and at that moment, a tragic expression appeared on He Zhongting's face.
"Gentlemen, I'm not trying to annoy you. This was Lin Rui's idea."
"In Lin Rui's mind, Xi Hua is probably the perfect fit for the female lead in a TV series."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up."
"Of course, the final choice is in your hands. If you disagree, I will immediately send him a message and ask him to find someone else."
"In all eighteen states, I truly refuse to believe that we can't find someone more..."
Li Dong was talking to himself when Shen Jun waved his hand to interrupt him.
“Li Donglai, there’s no need to try to provoke me.”
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that getting Xi Hua to debut is absolutely not a possibility..."
"Mother, I want to give it a try."
Chen Xihua, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Shen Jun was stunned.
Similarly, He Zhongting was also stunned.
You should know that in their impression, Shen Xihua has always been an obedient and well-behaved girl since she was a child, and she has never disobeyed Shen Jun's will.
Say it again.
Shen Jun looked at Chen Xihua, his tone calm.
Li Donglai glanced at Shen Jun meaningfully, but didn't say anything.
He pretended not to know what was going on and poured himself a drink.
In contrast, He Zhongting seemed a little nervous at this moment, his back to Shen Jun, constantly giving Shen Xihua meaningful glances.
"Mother, your daughter wants to go to Xiazhou."
Shen Xihua raised her head, as if she had suddenly shed her years of indecisiveness, her eyes now filled with determination.
Shen Jun's chest heaved slightly, and his seemingly gentle gaze turned somewhat sharp.
Despite having his back to Shen Jun, He Zhongting was prepared to risk copying an extra 10,000 words tonight rather than let his wife beat their daughter.
Shen Jun had been suppressing her anger, but when she saw the determination in Shen Xihua's eyes, she inadvertently sensed a feeling that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar to her.
At that moment, she suddenly thought of herself twenty years ago.
Could it be...
Shen Jun slowly closed his eyes, his fingers gently tapping the table, making a crisp thumping sound.
Both He Zhongting and Shen Xihua felt the pressure amidst the rhythmic thumping sounds.
"Tell Lin Rui that the Shen family has agreed to this matter."
“In a few days, I will personally take Xi Hua to Xiazhou.”
After saying that, Shen Jun got up and left without looking back.
Shen Xihua, whose expression had been stubborn, was now somewhat confused.
You agree?
However, she didn't continue to be confused. Instead, she stood up and chased after Shen Jun.
On the other hand, He Zhongting also wanted to leave, but just as he was about to run out, he abruptly stopped himself.
At that moment, as if remembering something, he bent down and grabbed the wine pot on the table. Before Li Donglai could react, he gulped down the spout and put it into his mouth.
"Slower!"
"Is that how you drink? What kind of manners do you have?!"
"No, leave some for me!"
Li Donglai finally realized what was happening.
He Zhongting will die from his excessive drinking sooner or later!
With a smug shake of his empty wine jug, He Zhongting gave Li Donglai a defiant burp before leaving with a flourish.
Li Donglai wasn't angry. He clapped his hands lightly, and immediately a servant came into the room to tidy up the table.
He had seen Shen Jun's previous expression, but he didn't point it out.
Could it be that she was reminded of the scene twenty years ago when she insisted on marrying He Zhongting in front of the ancestors at the Shen family ancestral hall?
Xi Hua, this simple-minded child, is not the naive girl you might imagine.
As for looking down on my son, Li Donglai?
Still thinking about that kid Lin Rui?
You really dare to dream.
wrong!
You wish!
Li Donglai pursed his lips and casually sent Lin Rui a text message.
…
at the same time.
In response to Zhou Rongze's question, Lin Rui patted his leg and stood up.
"Chenxi paintings come from Huazhou."
Shenxi Painting?
Is he really an outsider?
Everyone looked bewildered, except for Zhou Rongze, who seemed to have made a connection to something.
"The little princess of the Shen family in Huazhou?"
"right."
Lin Rui nodded.
"If that's the case, Old Zhang, you're in luck!"
Zhou Rongze looked excited.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Qingsheng frowned slightly.
Outsider?
Playing the female lead?
Well, he's completely resigned to his fate now.
At worst, he can personally step in and guide the female lead step by step.
Let me put it this way.
"This TV series, and future period dramas, can all be filmed directly in Huazhou."
"Whatever kind of landscape, courtyard, palace, or pavilion you need, just ask, and we'll have it all!"
"Because the Shen family is the biggest landowner in Huazhou!"
