Blackening starts from the golden years

Chapter 240 Zhong Xiaoqin regrets getting married
In the evening, Zhong Xiaoqin’s house.

After coming back from get off work, Chen Yu immediately rushed to the TV in the living room and turned on the TV to watch the news broadcast from the local TV station in Shanghai.

Mother Zhong was serving food to the dining table in the living room. She glanced at Chen Yu and said with a smile:
"Chen Yu, you are back."

Chen Yu ignored Mother Zhong and watched the news broadcast on TV. He knew something was wrong. It turned out that an intern in the station had lost news materials. The staff below didn't know what to do, so they called Chen Yu, the editor-in-chief who had already asked for leave. Chen Yu rushed to the station immediately.

A colleague advised Chen Yu not to cause trouble. It was originally the intern who made the mistake, and he had already asked for leave. If he meddles in this matter, not only will he get no credit, but he may also end up with shit all over his body.

As a result, Chen Yu criticized the other party, saying that we are a collective and if something goes wrong, everyone must take responsibility. If it makes sense, the colleague can't refute it. Chen Yu is already standing on the moral high ground, what else can he refute?

In a group, everyone has to take responsibility, and there are big and small responsibilities, and there are different priorities, right?

Since Chen Yu insists on making trouble on his own, the colleague is too lazy to persuade him. Being criticized by Chen Yu and compared with Chen Yu, it seems that he is an irresponsible person and it is not his own business. Why? Do you want to take it upon yourself?

In the end, as expected, an accident occurred. Chen Yu messed up the matter, causing the TV station's news network to miss major news. Other TV stations were reporting on the summit forum. With the exception of their TV station, they could only report on some minor issues related to people's livelihood to make up for the loss. .

In this news incident, Chen Yu's responsibility was suddenly magnified. As the colleague said, not only did he get no credit, but he also got shit all over him.

"Chen Yu, you have something to say, why are you hiding in the bathroom?"

"Chen Yu, why are you yelling at my mother? You're still in high spirits, aren't you?"

"Mom went upstairs."

"Dad is so stupid. I drew a horse, not a puppy."

When Xu Huanshan came home from get off work, he saw that Xu Ziyan was still awake. He walked over and said with a smile:

"Son, tell me, dad, what about riding a horse?"

"Chen Yu, haven't you eaten yet? I've prepared it for you. Come on."

"What's wrong with him?"

That's all. When something went wrong at work, he felt unhappy. Chen Yu also brought this unhappiness home. As an adult, it is not right not to bring negative emotions at work home. Basic literacy?

Seeing that her mother was so protective of Chen Yu, Zhong Xiaoqin glared at her angrily. At this moment, Chen Yu suddenly said angrily to Mother Zhong:
"Can you please leave me alone for a while? Why can't I finish today?"

"Yeah, thank you dad."

Seeing that Chen Yu still didn't respond, Zhong Xiaoqin said angrily:

"Okay, of course. If we don't want to ride, we won't ride, okay?"

With that said, Zhong Xiaoqin turned off the TV. Hearing the quarrel between Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu, Zhong's mother hurried over and said with a smile:
"Hey, Chen Yu, come on, let's drink some water."

"It's okay, Mom, please help me go back to the room to rest."

"horse riding?"

It was also the first time that Mother Zhong saw Chen Yu losing his temper, and she was startled. At this moment, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly squatted down, holding her stomach, frowning, and her face turned pale. Seeing her like this, Mother Zhong immediately said anxiously:

Without arguing with Zhong Xiaoqin, Chen Yu was in a bad mood. He got up and left the living room, walked into the bathroom, and slammed the door.

Looking at the abstract paintings painted by Xu Ziyan, Xu Huanshan smiled and said:
"Son, it's so late, let's go to bed and wait until tomorrow to draw the horse, okay?"

Mother Zhong brought a cup of tea to Chen Yu. She rolled her eyes at Zhong Xiaoqin who was losing his temper, then looked at Chen Yu and praised with a smile:
"You know? Other people's families like to watch CCTV's news network, but our family only watches the local news network. Why? Just because of you. You are the editor in charge. We feel very proud."

"Dad, can I not ride a horse? I'm a little scared."

"Son, why aren't you asleep yet? Where is mom?"

"Mom took me to ride a horse, but I was a little scared. I didn't want to ride. Dad, can I not ride?"

On the other side, Gu Jia's house.

"This is it."

Xu Ziyan took a curriculum and showed it to Xu Huanshan:

Hearing what Xu Huanshan said, Xu Ziyan curled his lips and said in a milky voice:

"Didn't you hear me talking to you? Didn't you see my mother was serving food there?"

Xu Ziyan danced with joy when he heard that he didn't need to ride a horse. Xu Huanshan reached out and touched his head. He took a look at Xu Ziyan's class schedule, which was filled with courses arranged for him by Gu Jia. The schedule was full at the end of the day, including equestrian lessons, piano lessons, painting and art classes. , and golf lessons. Xu Huanshan couldn't help but frown. Xu Ziyan had just entered kindergarten. Can such a young child endure so many lessons?

Chen Yu suddenly got angry, which shocked both Zhong Xiaoqin and Zhong's mother. Looking at Chen Yu who was looking impatient, Zhong Xiaoqin said angrily:

"Horse?"

"Xiaoqin, what's wrong with you? Does your stomach hurt again?"

Looking at Xu Huanshan, Xu Ziyan said aggrievedly:

……

Looking at Chen Yu sitting on the sofa in the living room watching the news, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but come over and said angrily:
"My mother called you, didn't you hear me?"

After taking a look at Xu Ziyan, he saw that he was still painting there. Xu Huanshan took a look at his paintings, smiled and praised:
"Son, the puppy you drew is quite beautiful."

Xu Huanshan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xu Ziyan and asked:

Chen Yu ignored Zhong Xiaoqin. He was still watching the news. Then Zhong’s mother smiled and said:

After saying that, Zhong’s mother touched Zhong Xiaoqin with her elbow, looked at her and smiled:
"Really? Did we just watch it?"

Zhong Xiaoqin shouted in the living room:
"You are like this every time. Whenever something happens, you hide in the bathroom. Can't you speak clearly?"

"Okay, walk slowly."

"But, mom still wants to check my paintings when she comes back."

"In this case, you go to bed and daddy will help you draw, okay?"

"Okay."

Let Aunt Chen take Xu Ziyan to bed. Xu Huanshan was sitting in the living room. He helped Xu Ziyan draw while waiting for Gu Jia to come back.

……

Soon, Gu Jia came back from Mrs. Wang's house on the top floor and saw Xu Huanshan sitting in the living room. She smiled and said:

"Husband, you are back, where is Ziyan?"

"He went to bed."

With that said, Xu Huanshan showed Gu Jia Xu Ziyan's painting and said with a smile:
"Honey, look at the paintings I drew with my son. Isn't it pretty?"

Gu Jia rolled her eyes at Xu Huanshan, walked to him, held the painting drawn by Xu Ziyan and said with a smile:
"Husband, let me tell you, the painting teacher said that Ziyan has a talent for painting. Do you think we should focus on cultivating it?"

"He has painted like this, and he still has the talent for painting?"

Xu Huanshan couldn't help laughing and said:

"Is that painting teacher blind? Or does he want to cheat money?"

"I'm telling you the truth, you can't joke."

Gu Jia rolled her eyes at Xu Huanshan, who was smiling playfully, and said seriously:

"Do you know that Mrs. Ma, how she sent her two children to Oxford?"

"Just use money."

"Yeah, not with money."

Gu Jia shook her head, and she and Xu Huanshan explained:
"When their children were young, their family settled in Shenzhen. She personally sent her two children through customs every morning to go to school in Hong Kong. In order to keep her enrollment in a prestigious school, she sent her eldest son to two different schools in the morning and afternoon. , I didn’t dare to transfer to another school until my younger sister grew up and took over my brother’s school status.”

Hearing what Gu Jia said, Xu Huanshan was stunned. He said speechlessly:

"Are you trying too hard?"

"Yes, this incident really overturned my cognition. I used to think that children like Mrs. Wang and their children could be raised freely. But later I found out that this is not the case. When it comes to education, they are more competitive. I specially I learned about it, such as robotics courses, equestrian courses, golf courses, etc. These courses will be bonus points in the future and will be helpful for my son’s further studies.”

Hearing what Gu Jia said, Xu Huanshan's face gradually calmed down. He already knew what Gu Jia was going to say next.

Sure enough, just as he thought, Gu Jia smiled and said:

"Husband, I thought about it, we still have to work hard to make money, and let Xu Ziyan go to Oxford in the future."

After listening to Gu Jia's words, Xu Huanshan said calmly:
"Is this your future plan for your son?"

"How did it become my future plan for my son?"

Looking at Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia said:
"Didn't you say that you wanted to send him to study abroad when he grows up? To experience something we haven't experienced before, you can't just talk about it, you have to take action, right?"

"Yes, I said this, but I regret it now, okay?"

Xu Huanshan said speechlessly:
"Isn't it too exaggerated for you to arrange so many courses for your son when he is still so young? Is this necessary for us?"

"Why is it not necessary? Education must start from an early age, so as not to lose at the starting line."

"I don't think it's necessary. Aren't our lives pretty good now?"

Xu Huanshan said with a pulled face:

"I don't agree with you putting so much pressure on your child." "What's wrong?"

Looking at Xu Huanshan with a pulled face, Gu Jia did not argue with him. She walked to him, put her arms around his neck, and said softly:
"Husband, do you blame me for putting so much pressure on you?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I just feel sorry for my son."

Xu Huanshan said half truthfully and half falsely. Gu Jia knew that he felt a lot of pressure, so she said softly:
"Honey, all you need to do is design your fireworks and leave everything else to me, okay?"

"Ah."

Looking at Gu Jia, Xu Huanshan nodded slightly. He finally chose to compromise and suppressed all his dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart. This was what he had always done.

Seeing that Xu Huanshan agreed, Gu Jia smiled slightly, and then asked:

"By the way, how are you preparing for the fireworks show in Beijing Paradise?"

"Everything is ready. I will personally lead the team there this time to ensure that there won't be any problems."

"That's good, hubby, you are awesome."

Gu Jia kissed Xu Huanshan on the face, feeling angry in her heart. Xu Huanshan hugged Gu Jia in his arms and walked to the bedroom. This time Gu Jia did not refuse again, she wanted it too, and she felt I felt sorry for Xu Huanshan and wanted to make it up to him.

……

bedroom.

"Husband, husband, uh uh..."

Xu Huanshan vented all his dissatisfaction and anger on Gu Jia. At the same time, he also noticed that Gu Jia's reaction was much more intense than before.

Listening to Gu Jia's sweet singing, Xu Huanshan was secretly happy. He thought it was because he was so powerful that Gu Jia was like this, but was this really the case?

The answer is of course not. At this moment, in Gu Jia's heart, she couldn't help but think of Yuan Xudong. Slowly, she raised her eyes and looked at Xu Huanshan, who was pressing on her. His figure seemed to have turned into Yuan Xudong.

"No, no, uh huh..."

……

At the same time, Yuan Xudong’s home.

"Xudong, Xudong, uh uh..."

Yuan Xudong was playing poker with Wang Manni, not in the bedroom, but on the balcony of the living room. Wang Manni was seen lying on the huge floor-to-ceiling window. She looked at the brightly lit Oriental Pearl Tower and the Bund outside the window, her eyes full of intoxication.

Just like she said, she loves this balcony to death, and similarly, Yuan Xudong also loves this balcony to death.

At this time, a cell phone rang. It was Wang Manni's cell phone. The caller ID was her mother. Yuan Xudong helped her answer the call.

After giving Yuan Xudong a hard look, which resulted in an even more severe punishment from Yuan Xudong, Wang Manni couldn't help but hum, and said with difficulty into her phone:

"Hey?"

"Nini, what are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

"I-I'm running. What do you want?"

"You are running, I said. Your voice is so breathy. Mom just wants to ask, how are you getting along with your boyfriend? When will you bring him home so that your dad and I can have a good look? Look at the future son-in-law."

"He and I get along very well. Wait until the next holiday..."

Looking at Wang Manni who was on the phone, Yuan Xudong slowed down. He often felt that he was a pervert, but then he thought about it. Compared with a certain island, he was not perverted enough.

……

The next morning, Zhong Xiaoqin's house.

After Zhong Xiaoqin got up, she didn't see Chen Yu. She looked at her mother and asked:
"Mom, where is Chen Yu?"

"He went to Taili early in the morning."

Mother Zhong smiled and said:
"Go and wash up quickly. It's time for breakfast."

"He went to Taili?"

Zhong Xiaoqin frowned and said:

"Didn't he say he took a week's leave yesterday?"

"Oh, this is what we are talking about. In fact, it's fine if he's not at home. He can't help much if he's at home, right?"

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin, Zhong’s mother said something nice to Chen Yu:

"He goes to work when he goes to work. Is it okay for me to take care of you at home?"

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't say anything. She was sending a WeChat message to Chen Yu, asking him what was going on. She had agreed to take a week off to accompany her. Where was he?

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin who was sulking, Mother Zhong smiled and said:

"Ouch, you're still mumbling? What do you mean? Do you dislike mom for not taking good care of you?"

"No, Mom."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at her mother and said angrily:
"The child is gone. Doesn't it have any impact on him? He doesn't suffer physically, he doesn't feel sad mentally, and he doesn't miss classes. What does he mean? Is this fair?"

"I must be fair. When Chen Yu left just now, he was in a very bad mood. It must be because of the child."

Zhong’s mother explained for Chen Yu that Zhong Xiaoqin took a look at her WeChat. Just like before, Chen Yu never responded to her WeChat. She showed her mother her cell phone and said angrily:

"Look, he doesn't reply to WeChat. It's always been like this. His affairs are all big things. Nothing matters to me. I'm like this. He doesn't even say a word of concern. I can't understand. If marriage is like this, why should I get married?"

"What are you talking about? Why do you want to get married? Everyone is getting married, why don't you get married? Do you want to be a leftover girl?"

"I just got married as you told me."

"Oh, you kid, Chen Yu is so good. He came to Shanghai from a small place and worked as an editor in a TV station. How inspiring is that? How many of these young people can compare with him? ah?"

"Mom, let me tell you, it's because of your attitude that Chen Yu always takes advantage of me. He doesn't respect me or you at all. Do you know?"

While mother and daughter Zhong Xiaoqin were arguing, Chen Yu was being criticized by his boss on the TV station. His bad mood was not because of the child, as Zhong's mother said, but because he had made a big mistake at work. He prides himself on being a good editor who works conscientiously and responsibly. Rather than being criticized by his boss, it is the work itself that goes wrong that makes him feel sad.

In other words, in Chen Yu's heart, his fish comes first and his work comes second. It's hard to say where Zhong Xiaoqin and her mother come in. After all, he doesn't even want to contact his own mother. He didn't bother to care about his younger brother Chen Xu.

In the original plot, before divorcing Zhong Xiaoqin, he was always like this. After divorcing Zhong Xiaoqin, he suddenly woke up and went to please his father-in-law and mother-in-law who were annoyed by him before. He always felt a bit deliberate. After all, dogs can't change their habit of eating shit. , a person suddenly changes, how can it be so simple?

Closer to home, the leader of the station, Sister Lu, walked into Chen Yu’s office, holding a document in her hand and saying:

"Everyone, come and take a look. There was criticism in the station, and the current affairs summit news missed the headlines. Really, our department is too promising. Can any of you tell me what is going on?"

Looking at the smiling Sister Lu, no one dared to speak. The intern who caused the trouble slowly raised his hand. He stood up and said somewhat submissively:

"Lu, Sister Lu, it's my problem."

Glancing at the intern, Sister Lu didn't blame him. He was just a newcomer, and the old employee who was in charge of the interview with him was the main person responsible. She glanced at the office and asked:

"Less than?"

Yu Yu was hiding in the corner and shivering. At this time, Sister Lu saw him and asked directly:
"Less than, what's going on with the material you gave me? Who gave it to you?"

At this time, Yu Yu looked directly at Chen Yu. He was the one who caused the trouble. Chen Yu helped him, but he didn't help him well. At this time, the leader came to hold him accountable. Instead of taking responsibility himself, he looked at Chen Yu. , obviously, although he didn't say it out loud, the blame has been passed on to Chen Yu.

Sure enough, Sister Lu looked directly at Chen Yu, who explained:

"That's it. The original material was lost. I asked my friends in the online media for that material. I thought I could make up for it."

"What do you think? You have forgotten the rules for using cameras on stage?"

Looking at Chen Yu, Sister Lu said angrily:

"All of your team's vacations this month have been cancelled. We will be on call if there is any situation."

"Sister Lu, my father-in-law is coming to Shanghai this weekend, so I have to take a vacation."

The colleague who had previously advised Chen Yu not to meddle in other people's business looked at Sister Lu and said. After looking at him first and then at the other people in the office, Sister Lu said directly:
"Do you all cherish your current position? If you can't even guarantee working hours, you might as well find a leisurely place to retire."

"No, no, no, promise, promise."

Hearing what Sister Lu said, the colleague never dared to mention taking a vacation again. I don’t know how many people outside were envious of his job at the TV station. That is to say, Chen Yu was quite weird, and he didn’t even dare to do this job. If you want to have a child, then who in the ordinary world would dare to have a child?
After Sister Lu left the office, the colleague who wanted to take a vacation approached Chen Yu. He lowered his voice and said:

"I was killed by you. I asked you not to meddle in other people's business. You have to do it. It's okay now. The credit is gone. I'm still covered in shit. Why am I so unlucky? It's not easy for my father-in-law. I promised to take him out for a trip to the Magic City, and now I have to explain it to my wife."

Chen Yu didn't say anything. Then his cell phone rang, and the caller ID was his wife. He was upset, so he muted his cell phone because he didn't want to answer it.

Seeing him like this, the colleague gave him a thumbs up and said in admiration:

"Brother, you are still awesome. If you dare not answer your wife's call, I advise you to answer it. What if something happens?"

"What can happen to her?"

Chen Yu said with some annoyance. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the colleague consciously stayed away from him. After all, who wants to stay with a person full of negative energy?

When Chen Yu didn't answer the phone, Zhong Xiaoqin kept calling. It turned out that Chen Yu was also a temperamental person. He didn't answer the matter that could have been solved by just answering the phone. He also saw the WeChat message, but he just didn't reply. He was so willful. .
