The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Aunt, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry. If you are angry, just hit me."

Tong Wenjie said angrily: "If beating you is useful, I will beat you all to death."

She was so angry because Lin Lei'er gave up the winter camp, which was Shuimu University's winter camp. If Lin Lei'er performed well this time, he would have a great advantage in the future when Shuimu University recruited students independently.

She knew that her nephew's dream was to be admitted to the Department of Physics at Shuimu University, so one can imagine the anger in her heart as she watched the opportunity slip away.

"Mom, we also want to make money to reduce your burden. Look, you even sold your house. Where are you going to live in the future?"

Fang Yifan knew his mother's temper very well. When he saw his mother's expression, he knew that most of her anger had subsided, so he spoke.

"Even if we live on the street, we will still provide you with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. As long as you can study hard and get into a good university, that will be the greatest reward for me."

Tong Wenjie glared at Fang Yifan fiercely. She knew without thinking that it was because of her son's evil idea that her nephew lost such a good opportunity.

Fang Yifan muttered, "Leier and I are also part of the family. Now that we are in trouble, of course we have to help."

"Mom, is our family really that short of money? If we are short of money, I will go and borrow some from Zhou Chen. He has money and we have such a good relationship, he will definitely lend it to me."

"Snapped!"

As soon as Fang Yifan finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head.

Fang Yuan looked at Fang Yifan with dissatisfaction and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How did you remember to borrow money from your classmates?"

He admitted that his family’s current financial situation was not very good, but he had never thought of borrowing money from acquaintances because his family had not reached that point yet.

Neither the couple had ever thought about it, but Fang Yifan actually thought of borrowing money from his classmates. If they really did that, how would they put their faces?

Tong Wenjie also scolded, "Fang Yuan, look at your son, what has he learned? He is shameless, just like you."

Fang Yifan spent a miserable day under the mixed doubles of his parents.

Ji Yangyang's mother Liu Jing underwent surgery during the winter vacation. The operation went very smoothly and the cancer cells did not spread. After the cancer was removed, as long as she continues to take medicine, her life will not be in danger. As for how long she can live in the future, it depends on many factors.

During the winter vacation, in order to improve Ji Yangyang's grades, Liu Jing used a lot of favors and money to invite the four kings of the education industry to give Ji Yangyang extra lessons.

With the help of their parents, Qiao Yingzi, Fang Yifan and others were able to attend Ji Yangyang's premium classes.

As for Zhou Chen, not long after the winter vacation, after making sure that Qiao Yingzi was in good condition, he left Shuxiang Yayuan and returned to his own big villa.

Although the house in Shuxiang Yayuan is not small, it is far inferior to his villa. Moreover, when he returns to the villa, there are people to serve him food and drinks, which is definitely not comparable to Shuxiang Yayuan.

During the winter vacation, Zhou Chen went to the mask factory a few times and then never went again.

Now that the mask factory is on the right track, and even the sales channels are gradually increasing, the factory's profitability is booming, so naturally he doesn't have to think too much.

New Year's Eve soon arrived. This day should have been a good day for family reunion, but unfortunately, Zhou Chen had to spend it alone again.

Nanny Chen Ma asked for leave after preparing dinner in the afternoon. Uncle Song Yuan had originally agreed to spend the New Year with him, but things happened suddenly and he had to leave Yanjing for something, so he couldn't spend the New Year with him.

So in the end, Zhou Chen spent the New Year alone again.

There was only one person in the huge villa. Zhou Chen didn't feel scared, but he felt lonely again.

It was not the first time that he had spent the New Year alone, and this feeling was really uncomfortable. It would have been fine if he had no relatives, but he had relatives, but for various reasons, they could not be reunited, so he was naturally depressed.

I spent New Year's Eve alone, but there was a lot of food, more than a dozen dishes, all prepared by Chen's mother in advance.

The dishes were delicious and there were plenty of them, but Zhou Chen had no appetite and was not very happy eating. Instead, he found the food very boring.

"I'm missing a woman."

Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of this. In other worlds, he was accompanied by women, but in this world, because of his age, he had never experienced a woman, and there was no woman who could accompany him.

When he was halfway through his meal, someone suddenly rang the doorbell of the villa. Zhou Chen walked to the door and saw the situation at the door on the display screen.

I saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the big iron gate. Although it was only through the display screen, Zhou Chen recognized him at a glance. This middle-aged man was the father of the original body, the scumbag among scumbags, the bastard who abandoned his wife and children.

Zhou Chen frowned and thought for a while, but did not open the door. Instead, he walked out of the room and came to the big iron gate of the villa.

"Xiaochen." The middle-aged man shouted happily when he saw Zhou Chen appear.

Zhou Chen walked over and asked with a cold face: "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Guodong smiled: "Today is New Year's Eve, of course I am here to spend the New Year with you."

"hehe."

Zhou Chen sneered disdainfully: "Spend the New Year with me? No need, you should go back quickly and spend time with your mistress and son."

Zhou Guodong was not embarrassed by his son's criticism, and continued: "You are my first son. Even if I have to accompany you, I will accompany you first. As for them, they are not even as good as one of your fingers."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen felt goose bumps all over his body and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

He knew very well what kind of person his adoptive father was, so it was definitely not normal for him to look like this.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush."

Zhou Guodong kept a smile on his face: "You kid, I told you I would come back to spend the New Year with you, but you are still suspicious. You are my son, how can I plot against you?"

Zhou Chen said mercilessly: "That's hard to say."

Zhou Guodong's face froze. He didn't expect that his eldest son would be so disrespectful to him. This filled him with anger, but when he thought of his purpose this time, he could only suppress his anger and still keep smiling.

"Xiaochen, today is New Year's Eve. Are you going to talk to me through the door and not let me in?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but my mother specifically told me before she died that she didn't want to see you again. Now her spirit tablet is here, so I'm sorry, I really can't let you in."

Not wanting to see Zhou Guodong again was indeed what his deceased mother said. Although Zhou Chen didn't know why Zhou Guodong came, he knew that Zhou Guodong definitely had bad intentions. So in order to avoid trouble, not contacting Zhou Guodong was the best option.

Putting aside his original body's memory of Zhou Guodong, the only contact he had with Wang Xue after coming to this world made him understand what kind of person Zhou Guodong was.

What bottom line can a father have who forces his son to donate bone marrow in order to save his own life?

Zhou Guodong's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a bad tone: "Xiaochen, I am your father, is this how you treat me?"

Zhou Chen replied calmly: "I will treat you the same way you treated my mother and me back then. Also, don't use your status as a father to pressure me. People like you are not worthy of being my father. I don't have a father like you. That's all I have to say. You are not welcome here. Please leave."

Zhou Guodong was so angry at Zhou Chen's words that he could no longer pretend to be kind.

"I gave you your life. If you want to sever the father-son relationship with me, then pay me back what you owe me."

Zhou Chen sneered and said, "That's it. If you have any request, just ask. Why pretend to be a loving father and make us all uncomfortable? Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me?"

Zhou Guodong no longer concealed his purpose and directly stated it.

"I was forced to divorce you back then, and most of my property was given to you and your son, so you can live such a good life. Now, it's time for you to repay me as your father."

"You really made me look at you in a new light again."

Zhou Chen was really speechless. He finally understood that the reason Zhou Guodong came to him was for money.

What he didn't understand was why Zhou Guodong came to him to ask for money. According to him, Zhou Guodong's company assets exceeded 2 billion yuan, and his personal assets were less than 1 billion yuan, but not much different. He didn't look like a person who was short of money.

In fact, he didn't know that Zhou Guodong did have a lot of money, but that was a thing of the past. Now, he was in big trouble.

All this was due to his previous illness. During the time he was ill and receiving treatment, big problems arose within his company. Some shareholders teamed up to cheat him, throwing the company into chaos.

Even after he recovered from his illness and came back, the company was already in a state of chaos. Although he managed to stabilize the company temporarily with his strong ability and prestige.

However, there are problems in many aspects of the company. Other aspects are fine, but there are many problems in terms of funding.

He thought of many ways, but the funding gap was too big, and coupled with the company's situation, he couldn't even get a loan.

With no other options left, Zhou Guodong had no choice but to come find Zhou Chen in person.

Originally, he was thinking of taking advantage of the New Year's Eve reunion to show his fatherly love, win over Zhou Chen with family affection, and then extort Zhou Chen's money step by step.

But he never expected that Zhou Chen would be so cruel that he wouldn't even let him enter the door. What was there to talk about?

Zhou Chen said coldly: "I don't have a penny here. If you want money, you can go to my uncle. If he is willing to give it to you, go and ask for it."

Zhou Guodong looked unhappy. He was asked to ask Song Yuan for money? Even if he had the nerve, Song Yuan would not give him the face.

"Xiaochen, can you bear to treat your father like this?"

Since the hard approach didn’t work, Zhou Guodong put on a pitiful look and tried the soft approach.

Zhou Chen still had a cold face. "Today is New Year's Eve. I don't want to make a scene, but if you still don't leave and want to stay here, then I can only call security."

In an instant, Zhou Guodong's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at Zhou Chen closely.

"It is said that a tiger father will have a dog son. It seems to be true. He is worthy of being my offspring. He inherited my cruelty. Good, very good."

"I am very happy to have you as my son, but I hope that there will never be a day when you beg me for mercy."

Zhou Guodong is also a character who can bend and stretch. After leaving a cruel word, he turned and left.

Watching Zhou Guodong leaving, Zhou Chen sneered. Zhou Guodong was indeed capable, but he was no pushover. With the knowledge and abilities he possessed, he would definitely have an advantage for at least the next ten years. It would not be difficult to surpass Zhou Guodong.

Without thinking too much, Zhou Chen had no intention of continuing to eat after Zhou Guodong left. He turned on the TV and started watching the Spring Festival Gala.

The next day was the Spring Festival, and Zhou Chen did not go out. He was alone anyway, and there was no point in going out, so he just played games at home.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Chen suddenly received a call from Fang Yifan, inviting him to Shuxiang Yayuan to play together.

It turns out that Fang Yifan's family, Qiao Yingzi's family, and Ji Yangyang's family all celebrated the New Year at Shuxiang Yayuan this year.

After having lunch at their grandparents' house at noon, Fang Yifan and his family returned to Shuxiang Yayuan. Then the three families discussed and invited each other to gather at Fang Yifan's house to celebrate the New Year.

During the meal, the adults from the three families sat together drinking, while the children sat together playing.

Later, Qiao Yingzi and her friends felt bored, so they went to the secret base prepared by her father to play, and also invited Huang Zhitao and him.

Zhou Chen agreed without much thought. He was alone at home anyway, and there was no difference between living here and living in Shuxiang Yayuan. What's more, he wouldn't have to spend the New Year alone there.

So Zhou Chen immediately left the villa and drove his sports car to Shuxiang Yayuan.

The usually busy roads in Yanjing seemed very empty on this New Year's Eve, with very few vehicles on the road. Zhou Chen drove to Shuxiang Yayuan at twice the normal speed.

Zhou Chen knew the location of Qiao Yingzi’s secret base, so after parking the car, he went straight upstairs.

As soon as Zhou Chen knocked on the door, it was opened, and then he saw Fang Yifan and others shouting, "Happy New Year's Eve."

The person who opened the door for him was Fang Yifan. Lin Lei'er, Ji Yangyang, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao were also in the room. Including him, there were exactly six people in the room.

New year, new atmosphere. Today is the new year. Zhou Chen is wearing new clothes, and Fang Yifan and the others are also wearing new clothes, and they are all in the festive red color.

Zhou Chen arrived, and the group of six was finally assembled. They sat down around the sofa and the coffee table, which was covered with snacks.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 269: Separate Paths, Marriage

"Everyone, listen to me, listen to me."

After the group of six gathered, the room suddenly became lively, with everyone talking to each other, and everyone seemed very happy and active.

After half a year at Chunfeng Middle School, Lin Lei'er's personality has changed a lot. He is no longer as timid and fearful as when he first arrived.

At this moment he was standing up and loudly signaling everyone to listen to him first.

"Okay, Lei'er has something to say. Everyone, please be quiet and listen to our Lei'er."

Lin Lei'er felt a little embarrassed by Fang Yifan, but he was used to it.

Lin Leier said with emotion: "I had a very happy Spring Festival this year. This is the best year since my mother passed away. I am very grateful to my aunt and uncle, and also to my cousin, Yingzi, Zhouchen, Yangyang and Taozi. Thank you for your help. You are my best friends. I toast to you."

As he said that, he raised the cup in his hand and drank the drink in it.

Fang Yifan was the first to respond: "Come on, come on, come on, this is the first time Lei'er has said such sentimental words in front of us, we must give him face, come on, let's do it together."

Zhou Chen and others naturally would not refuse, and they all followed suit.

Among their group of six, Lin Lei'er is the most miserable one.

Fang Yifan, Qiao Yingzi, Ji Yangyang and Huang Zhitao all have living parents. Even though Huang Zhitao's parents live far away, they still love him very much.

Among the six people, only Zhou Chen and Lin Lei'er have no mother, and their fathers are the same scumbags.

But at least Zhou Chen has an uncle who treats him very well, and he is also wealthy, so he doesn't have to live under someone else's roof and lives a good life.

But Lin Lei'er was different. He came to Yanjing from his hometown and lived in the Fang family. Although his aunt and uncle were very kind to him, and his cousin was also very good to him, he was an outsider after all. Although he seemed fine on the surface, he was under a lot of pressure in his heart and was always cautious.

But compared to other children, Lin Lei'er's personality is actually very good. At least he doesn't complain about everything and is not too sensitive. That's why he can live well in the Fang family, like a real family.

"It's not enough to just be happy this year. We have to be as happy as we are today during the New Year in the future."

Fang Yifan seemed very happy. He suggested: "It would be boring if we don't take some videos on such a happy day. Come on, let's record a video together."

Several people crowded together, Fang Yifan held his mobile phone, facing everyone and the screen.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

"happy New Year everyone."
