The world of film and television begins from childhood

Not to mention others, just take Zhou Chen himself as an example, he really does not favor boys over girls, and he even likes girls a little more.

But if he really wanted to distribute his property, he would definitely leave most of it to his son, if for no other reason, because his son's future children would take his surname.

That day, Zhou Chen and Gu Jia went to the city to communicate with people from other rehabilitation institutions, and did not return until the evening.

"Gu Jia, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dinner?"

Zhou Chen was driving and asked Gu Jia who was sitting in the passenger seat. This was the fifth time he had invited Gu Jia since her divorce, and she had rejected him every time before.

Seeing that Gu Jia was about to speak, he quickly said, "Gu Jia, you have rejected me several times, at least agree to it once. I promise that it is just a simple meal, not a date."

Gu Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Zhou Chen, I'm just a single mother with a child now, why are you still so persistent? I'm not worthy of you."

“Whether it’s worth it or not is up to me.”

Zhou Chen didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Before you got divorced, I really didn't have any idea at all, but now you are alone, I have the opportunity to pursue you. Whether you agree or not is your business, and whether I pursue you or not is my business."

Gu Jia said helplessly: "I don't want to think about these things at all now. I just want to take good care of Zi Yan and work hard. I don't have any extravagant expectations for love anymore."

"It's tiring to raise a child alone. Ziyan is a good child, but a single-parent family is really not conducive to the growth of a child."

Gu Jia: "A single-parent family is indeed not conducive to the growth of children, but I don't want Zi Yan to live in a complicated family."

She didn't say it explicitly, but her meaning was very clear. She didn't want Zi Yan to have a stepfather, at least not for the time being.

Zhou Chen asked: "Are you still thinking about Xu Huanshan? If so, just ignore what I said before. I respect your choice."

"Do not."

Gu Jia did not hesitate at all and said directly and affirmatively: "I will not forgive a man who betrayed me and my family, not now and not in the future."

She did still have feelings for Xu Huanshan, but she had buried them deep in her heart. In the short term, she would definitely not want to have anything to do with Xu Huanshan anymore.

"Then let me, as your boss, treat you, your great contributor, to a meal. You won't refuse, right?"

"This, okay."

Gu Jia finally agreed.

"Great."

Zhou Chen showed a happy expression. After such a long time, he finally took the first step.

All things are difficult at the beginning. No matter what happens in the future, since he has set a precedent, he will have the opportunity to widen the gap in the future.

"I know there's a restaurant with a very nice environment. Do you want to go to a private room or the lobby?"

"The lobby."

Gu Jia didn't dare to go to the private room. Although she felt that Zhou Chen would not force anything on her, she always felt uncomfortable with a single man and a single woman being in the same room.

The reason why she agreed this time was because Zhou Chen had invited her several times in a row, and his attitude was very sincere and respectful to her.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved at all. After all, Zhou Chen was so outstanding. Even when she was not married, she couldn't reach him, let alone now that he was a single mother.

Furthermore, although she had not thought about getting into a new relationship so soon, if Zhou Chen could really persist after she had rejected him many times, she might really consider it.

She knew very well that if she could really be with Zhou Chen, it would be extremely beneficial to both her and Xu Ziyan, and her son's future prospects would definitely be limitless.

"it is good."

To Zhou Chen, the hall and the private room were the same, and he was not prepared to win Gu Jia over the first time, as that was unrealistic.

Zhou Chen drove Gu Jia to a music restaurant with exquisite decoration.

"I've been to this restaurant twice. The food is pretty good, and the atmosphere is nice too. I can show you my cooking skills later."

The reason he came to the music restaurant was naturally to pick up Gu Jia, and what he was best at was naturally various musical instruments. Most women would like talented men.

Gu Jia was indeed attracted and asked Zhou Chen in surprise: "Can you play a musical instrument?"

"Why, are you surprised that I can play a musical instrument?"

"That's not the case. With your background, it's normal for you to be able to play a musical instrument. I just feel that you seem to know everything. I've known you for such a long time, and I've never seen you struggling for anything."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You really think too highly of me. There are so many things I don't know, at least I don't know how to give birth to a child."

Gu Jia was immediately amused by Zhou Chen.

"Yes, you should smile more often. This is the first time I've seen you smile so happily in such a long time."

Zhou Chen seemed to be amazed by Gu Jia's smile and couldn't help but speak.

Gu Jia couldn't help but roll her eyes. In Zhou Chen's eyes, she was truly charming. This was the first time he saw Gu Jia make such an expression to him.

"Let's go. I'm still waiting for you to show me your skills."

"Let's go then."

Zhou Chen took Gu Jia into a music restaurant called "Taoyuan". The location of this music restaurant is relatively secluded, giving it a sense of paradise. However, he was not sure whether the name of the restaurant had this implication.

Because it was evening, there were already quite a few people sitting in the restaurant. Zhou Chen and Gu Jia were led by the waiter to a seat closer to the piano table.

After asking Gu Jia's opinion, Zhou Chen quickly ordered a few dishes.

After the food was served, Zhou Chen took the initiative to say, "Come to think of it, this is the first time we have eaten together alone. I am really happy tonight."

Gu Jia smiled but didn't answer. She didn't know how to respond. Before her divorce, she was a rational person. Now that she was divorced, she was under more pressure and became even more rational.

"Their fish is delicious. You can try it later."

The two of them ate leisurely. Gu Jia didn't want to order wine at first, but Zhou Chen still ordered a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for each of them.

Most of the time, it was Zhou Chen who was talking, and Gu Jia would respond from time to time. When it came to topics that interested her, she became cheerful and talked more.

Gu Jia didn't want to drink at first, but as she talked with Zhou Chen, she couldn't help but started drinking.

The main reason was that she had just divorced. Although she didn't show any emotion on the surface, she was actually very upset, but she couldn't vent it normally.

Zhou Chen was the only one here who knew her, and he was also very familiar with her, so she slowly let down her guard and started drinking with Zhou Chen.

"Didn't you say you wanted to show off your skills?"

After three rounds of drinks, Gu Jia smoothed her hair and asked Zhou Chen.

Looking at Gu Jia's blushing face, her long straight hair and delicate facial features, Zhou Chen's heart was moved.

"Of course, after he finishes playing, I'll show you my skills."

The hotel's pianist was playing at the moment, so Zhou Chen naturally couldn't interrupt him.

A few minutes later, he stood up and walked to the piano, and started to discuss with the pianist with a smile.

The music restaurant naturally would not object to guests playing the piano, especially since there were quite a few people here. It would be really embarrassing if someone went on stage to play without any skills.

Since Zhou Chen dared to come up, it showed that he was confident, so the pianist quickly handed the piano to Zhou Chen.

He had played the piano for a woman more than once, but this time was different because he was playing for a single mother with a child.

Before coming, he had already thought about what song he wanted to play, so it didn't take long before his hands started playing briskly.

"Ding…………"

The clear sound of piano sounded. At first, no one noticed that the pianist had been replaced, but not long after, someone heard something wrong with the pianist.

This is a sad song that tells a tragic love story. Zhou Chen learned it from other film and television worlds. It is not top-notch, but it is definitely very lethal to Gu Jia at this time.

After a song ended, scattered applause was heard in the restaurant. Zhou Chen didn't care and continued playing, but changed a song.

This time it was no longer a sad piano piece, but a light-hearted piano piece. Even a novice who had never played the piano could tell that it was a piece of music full of joy.

The two completely different songs naturally attracted more attention.

Gu Jia held her chin with her right hand and looked at Zhou Chen who was playing the piano with blurry eyes. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or what happened, but Zhou Chen in front of her suddenly changed his appearance slowly, as if he had turned into Xu Huanshan.

Her thoughts slowly sank into memories of the past, and she didn't come back to her senses until the cheerful piano music ended.

"How did I talk?"

Looking at Zhou Chen who had returned to his seat, Gu Jia said, "They sound very nice. One is sad, and the other is happy. They should describe two different love stories, right?"

"Amazing, you can even hear that."

Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up: "You are right, these two songs are indeed adapted from two different love stories."

Gu Jia asked curiously: "What kind of love story can you tell me?"

"of course."

Zhou Chen naturally would not refuse, and Gu Jia also listened attentively.

Chapter 371 Taking Gu Jia home, fatal temptation

Zhou Chen's voice was very attractive. He could tell stories for more than ten minutes at a time. Although they were just two short stories, they sounded tortuous and tortuous when told by him. They were filled with sadness, joy, and all kinds of complicated emotions.

Gu Jia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was usually rational, but because she was depressed and had drunk some wine, she couldn't control her tears after listening to Zhou Chen's love story.

"It's a very interesting story. I didn't expect that as the CEO of a large group, you would have the time to listen to these love stories?"

Zhou Chen: "Although the burden on my shoulders is heavy, it doesn't mean that I live for that. As long as a person wants to do something, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, it can't stop his determination."

"Even if you know that what you are pursuing is the wrong choice, will you still risk your life for it?" Gu Jia asked.

"Whether it is wrong or not, only you know it. If it were me, as long as I am determined, I would definitely fight for it regardless of my own safety."

"But some things are destined not to have good results."

"The result is important, but if you give up trying just because the result might not be good, wouldn't that be more unfair to yourself? There's a saying that goes, if you don't even have a dream, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Chen's serious expression and felt slightly touched. It had been several months since she knew that Zhou Chen was interested in her.

And that time when she made it clear and Zhou Chen admitted it, he did not take any action to pursue her, nor did he show it in front of others. He only started to pursue her after she got divorced.

So even though she didn't want Zhou Chen to pursue her, she couldn't help but feel a little moved by Zhou Chen's gentlemanly pursuit.

More importantly, she is divorced now, especially because of cheating, so she always feels resentful.

Now she has met a man who is better than Xu Huanshan, who completely ignores the fact that she is divorced and has children and pursues her madly. This really makes it a little difficult for her to resist.

Don't think that only men like to look at women. Women also like to look at men and like to compare men.

Although Gu Jia is not the kind of woman who is easily tempted by love, she was pursued by Zhou Chen. She was disgusted and uncomfortable at the beginning, but now she no longer feels disgusted. She just wants to accept Zhou Chen, but she is still a long way to go.

Gu Jia did not respond to Zhou Chen's hint, but took a sip of red wine and asked drunkenly: "Zhou Chen, I'm actually quite curious about you. You seem to know everything. Could it be that everyone in your big family has been learning since childhood, and they have also learned many categories of knowledge?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just know a little more than you."

"As for whether big families start learning all kinds of knowledge from a young age, I don't know about other families, but as for our Zhou family, we don't have so many feudal rules. In addition to learning etiquette, as the eldest son and grandson, we naturally have to learn to manage family affairs."

"Does your big family have a lot of internal conflicts, just like in the TV series?"

Gu Jia had drunk quite a bit of wine at this point, and now she asked all the questions that she would not normally ask when she was sober.

"My father and I are both the only sons in the same family. Who do you think I can compete with in a family feud?"

There are advantages to inheriting a single lineage, and there are advantages to having many brothers and sisters. No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

…………

The two chatted about many topics. Gu Jia, who was drunk, was no longer her usual smart and capable self and became very talkative.

Gu Jia's cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were quite blurry. She supported her chin with one arm and stared at Zhou Chen with watery eyes.

"Zhou Chen, even now, I still don't quite understand what it is about me that attracts you? There should be countless ordinary women like me in the country, and countless women who are better than me. With your conditions, you can choose anyone you want. Why do you think I am better?"

Zhou Chen asked back: "Do you need a reason to like someone?"

"Don't you need it? I'm not one of those teenage girls. I'm already a single mother. I can still tell the difference between love and bread."

Zhou Chen praised: "You are worthy of it, Gu Jia. If you must ask, then I can only answer you truthfully, because you are my ideal wife model. If I marry you, I can reduce a lot of burdens. You can take care of the family and manage it in an orderly manner; you can also take care of the outside world, treat people, and handle business matters. You are also competent."

"Don't underestimate me because I'm in charge of such a large group. I'm actually quite lazy. It would be even better if someone could help me share the burden."

"But the problem is, I don't want capable women because they are too focused on profit and will neglect family. And I won't choose those incapable women either. What I want is not a trophy wife, but a wife who can share the family and career with me."

"Gu Jia, you are the other half I have been looking for for many years, so for you, I am willing to wait. I don't mind your past, I just want your future."
