So red that everything is black

Chapter 89 Big Red (Twenty-nine)

In the evening, Wen Xinlan apologized to Zhen Nuan while holding her cell phone.

That big boss Wei is sometimes appreciative, sometimes making things difficult, sometimes questioning, and sometimes giving gifts. He is really so powerful that it is unpredictable.

Zhen Nuan strongly condemned today's meal companionship and claimed that the two hours of sailing on the lake nearly scared her to death.

Fortunately, the chocolates given by Boss Wei were pretty good. They were from a foreign handmade brand that she had always wanted to buy but couldn't.

Wen Xinlan didn't expect that her friend would be so angry for no reason, but in the end he would just be bribed by a small box of chocolates.

Woman, you are so coaxable!

Early the next morning, Wen Xinlan received a notice about the movie "The Power of God", and she was invited to go to several cities to promote the movie and build momentum for the Spring Festival movie.

Originally, the theater chain's promotion work was mainly carried out by the director and the leading actors, but unfortunately the original writer himself was too popular, and the crew couldn't help but invite Wen Xinlan to promote it together to try to gain more popularity.

With four days left for the New Year, Wen Xinlan closed the doors and windows, packed her luggage, and embarked on the journey back to Lingcheng.

I didn’t feel much about it some time ago, but now I realize how good it is to be a writer!

When I used to work, the company had to wait until the day before New Year's Eve before giving me a holiday. Just the one or two days of holidays that are more generous than the statutory holidays are already a huge favor from the big boss.

Now that I am a full-time writer, I can finally arrange my time as I please.

It is said that three months ago, Wen Xinlan bought a house for her parents in her hometown, and it is now almost fully decorated.

But my parents are nostalgic and have no plans to move there.

Wen Xinlan didn't force it.

In the past six months since Wen Xinlan became famous, more and more distant relatives have come to visit her and seek connections to borrow money.

There are also some social events that cannot be turned down, which are also overwhelming.

On the first day after returning to the city, a local charity organization contacted Wen Xinlan and asked if she could donate money to poor villages, poor students, women and children.

Wen Xinlan did not agree to all, but only commissioned an organization to establish a scholarship fund for local poor girls.

After solving the outside problems, the biggest headache is at home.

No matter how well their children do well outside, what parents care about most is, after all, their children's marriage.

After dinner, father Wen Hai and mother Fang Jin sat on either side of their daughter.

Wen Hai asked with concern: "Daughter, are you sure you and Xiao Tong have broken up?"

"Well, we're done. I've told you so many times."

Wen Hai asked again: "Then what are you going to do? Have you got a new boyfriend? Do you have a suitable one?"

"Oh, why are you so anxious? How old am I?"

Fang Jin threw away the melon seed skin in his hand, "Do you think you are still a little girl? Your cousin Huanhuan, who is two years younger than you, is already giving birth to a second child! Your cousin Qiangqiang, who is one year older than you, is planning to have a third child! Now! But you don’t even have a boyfriend! When you find one, you have to fall in love for two more years, prepare to get married, and then prepare for pregnancy, so that we can have a grandson in the year of the monkey? "

"It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is."

"If you weren't the only one, would I need to beg you to live?"

Wen Xinlan smiled and said: "Then you have another one."

Fang Jin poked her daughter on the forehead, "You're not big or small, how can you talk to your mother?"

"I'm tired, let's go back to the house first."

"Don't leave." Fang Jin grabbed her daughter, "I saw a young man named Pei Yuan on the Internet. How is he?"

Wen Xinlan smiled hoarsely: "Mom, she is a famous person. She is different from me. Don't have such wishful thinking."

"Aren't you a celebrity now?"

"I'm just a little famous for the time being, and I won't necessarily become famous anytime soon."

Fang Jin added: "I also heard about a man named Wei Qingkuan."

My parents are quite well-informed and actually know Boss Wei’s name. Wen Hai interrupted his wife, "What kind of family background does Xiao Wei have? Is it worthy of our family?"

"Xiao Wei?"

Dad's name is quite affectionate!

It seems that the old couple often discuss gossip about their daughter!

Wen Xinlan explained helplessly: "Dad, what do you mean that I am not worthy of the Wei family? Am I worthy of the Pei family? Pei Yuan's father, Pei Sheng, is the chief director of the Haicheng Writers' Alliance, and he also plays a decisive role in the political arena. Haicheng The city is filled with sky-high-priced mansions, where can I reach them?”

Fang Jin: "Your father is a young man who loves his family and loves his family. He likes to write articles, so he also likes to write articles."

"Dad, don't tease me every day. If you have the ability, go write something famous yourself! You see, the Pei family and his son have made a lot of money by writing with both hands. You have also published a few best-selling books, which can make me My mother and I will follow you and eat and drink spicy food every day."

Wen Hai was so angry that he beat his chest, "Oh, my daughter thinks my father is poor and useless!"

"I don't mean that. I won't be in love in the short term. Don't rush me."

"why?"

"It's great to be single, so free!"

Wen Hai: "As a girl, you still need someone to rely on."

Fang Jin agreed: "We are starving our grandson to death."

"Mom and Dad, please be rational. I am not qualified to climb up to the powerful. To put it another way, I have really married into a rich family. Do you think it will be your turn to take care of the children I gave birth to? So, I don't want to I don’t want to fall in love if I marry a wealthy family. I just want to make the decision on my own life. I don’t like to be controlled by others.”

Fang Jin changed the topic and asked again: "Does Nuannuan have any friends?"

Zhen Nuan's parents and Wen Xinlan's parents live in the same work unit. The two parents have a close relationship and often complain to each other. Both of them are worried about their daughter.

"No."

Fang Jin snorted angrily: "None of you children who ran away are obedient. You neither fall in love nor have children. If the whole country is as selfish as you, no one will be able to build the future of our motherland."

Wen Xinlan sneered: "Mother, you are really worried about the country and the people. I feel that Wei Qingkuan's mother's position should be given to you."

Speaking of the Wei family's mother, Fang Jin added: "I also agree with your father's point of view. Our family cannot climb the high branches of the Wei family. The Wei family's mother is used to being a high official, so she must be an evil mother-in-law who is difficult to get along with. You will suffer when you get married. You said you can't cook or do housework. You don't know how you will be bullied and beaten by your mother-in-law in the future."

"In what age are you still being beaten by your mother-in-law? I can't run away?"

Wen Hai echoed: "There are very few women who can become high-ranking officials, and at Mother Wei's level, they can't suppress their male officials without a little bit of resoluteness. Female officials will only be more ruthless and tougher than male officials." Harsh and difficult to deal with.”

"Hey, look at what you are saying, as if I am some noble princess, and I can choose the princes of the dynasty! Mom and Dad, you really think too much! I know my identity! I am not worthy of others. !”

Wen Xinlan didn't want to talk about marriage and love with her parents anymore, so she got up and went back to the cabin, sending a message to Zhen Nuan asking for help, "Nuan Nuan, are you free? Come out for a walk?"

Zhen Nuan replied: "Call me now and give me a shock. I will come out right away."

Wen Xinlan immediately dialed one, and behind the phone she could vaguely hear the dissatisfied nagging of the Zhen family's parents.

They are really difficult sisters!

Before going out, Wen Xinlan ate a piece of chocolate at her leisure, but she felt it was astringent and bitter.

The imported goods delivered by Boss Wei are actually not as delicious as the chocolates that cost a few dollars in the supermarket!

Wen Xinlan was not interested in these bitter things at all, and suddenly remembered that Zhen Nuan liked to eat this, so she simply picked up the remaining box of chocolates and went out.

Both Zhen and Wen lived in a compound for family members of a state-owned enterprise, but in different buildings.

A few minutes later, Zhen Nuan collapsed and said, "Thank you, dear! I finally found an excuse to come out! My parents kept urging us to get married from morning to night, as if they were chanting a curse! My head is about to explode!" "

"My parents are the same. One moment they say which cousin has given birth to a second child, and the other moment they say which cousin has given birth to a third child. They blame me for not letting them have a grandson."

Zhen Nuan asked: "Have uncles and aunts read your news? Have they gossiped about you?"

"Yes! It's true! They actually asked me. Oh, you just said that they can see the news about Pei Yuan, but they even know the name of Boss Wei? They even call him 'Xiao Wei'! We, the old writers, Where do you have the face to dare to be related to someone else!"

"How did you respond?"
