The world of film and television begins from childhood

The old man was the happiest one. The birth of the little one meant that he now had four generations living under one roof. How could he not be happy?

Zhao Jingyu was relieved after seeing her son, especially when she saw how much the old man loved his great-grandson, she was even happier. She knew that with the birth of her son, her second half of life would be settled and she would no longer have to worry.

Zhou Chen also stayed in the hospital these days. As for Gu Jia, he made an excuse and said he was out on a business trip. Gu Jia did not doubt it.

This is not the first time he has a son, but he is still very happy when he sees the appearance of the little guy. This is an extension of his bloodline and is the person closest to him in terms of blood relationship.

Wang Manni returned to her hometown and stayed there for a few months, but ultimately she still felt unsatisfied and unable to adapt to life in her hometown, so she decided to return to Shanghai.

Since their best friend is coming back, Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin who are in Shanghai will certainly not ignore it. Instead, they will warmly entertain and help her.

At this time, the three of them were sitting in a cafe, drinking coffee and chatting.

"Gu Jia, Xiao Qin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have the guts and courage to come back here."

Wang Manni looked at her two best friends sitting opposite her and expressed her sincere gratitude.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Why are you saying this? We are good friends, so of course we have to help each other. Xiaoqin and I are very happy that you can come back."

"Yes, yes, Manni, I really missed you during these months when you were away." Zhong Xiaoqin nodded repeatedly.

Wang Manni: "Xiaoqin, congratulations on becoming a mother. Your baby girl is so pretty and will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether she is a great beauty or not, as long as she is healthy."

After being a mother for a few months, she has changed a lot, from the ignorant wife she used to be to a good mother who always considers her daughter.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Xiaoqin, you have really changed a lot." Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and said with emotion.

"Really? I don't think I've changed much."

"Of course you don't feel that you have changed, but Manni and I have the same opinion. You have indeed changed a lot."

Gu Jia spoke with a smile. Although Wang Manni hadn't seen Zhong Xiaoqin for several months, she saw her every few days and she saw the changes in Zhong Xiaoqin.

After talking about Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia again, feeling extremely complicated.

"Gu Jia, congratulations on finding a man who loves you so much. I hope you will always be so happy in the future."

"Thank you, Manny."

Gu Jia was very happy with her best friend's blessing.

Wang Manni's eyes stayed on Gu Jia's right hand, and she asked curiously, "Is this the wedding ring that your rich man Zhou bought for you?"

Gu Jia looked at the ring on her right hand and smiled slightly: "Well, he picked it himself and didn't even ask for my opinion. If it were me, I wouldn't buy such a conspicuous ring."

Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes and said, "Gu Gu, stop talking like that. A ring worth more than two million is worthy of Zhou Dafu. When our Chen Yu got married, he only bought me a worthless diamond. I really regret it when I think about it."

Wang Manni smiled and said, "It's useless for you to regret it now, but I heard that your teacher Chen is doing very well now, and his annual salary is not low, so you should be satisfied."

They chatted for a while about their recent lives, and then Gu Jia got to the point.

"Manni, are you ready to return to the Magic City this time? Will you continue to sell luxury goods, or do something else?"

Wang Manni said: "I am most familiar with luxury goods. If possible, I would like to work in this field, but I don't think it will be that easy. Let's settle down first and not rush to work."

Gu Jia said: "Manni, if you can't find a job for a while, you can go to our Chenxing Rehabilitation Center for a while. Although the salary there is not high, it provides food and accommodation, and you can rest on weekends."

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded repeatedly: "That's fine, Manni, Gu Gu is the boss lady now, and her words are final. If you can't find a place to go for the time being, you can go to her place for a while."

Wang Manni shook her head and said, "No, I can handle adults, but I can't handle children."

Gu Jia didn't force it, but just asked, "Do you have a place to live now?"

Wang Manni: "I have contacted several real estate agencies and will go to look at houses soon. I will stay in a hotel for the next few days."

Zhong Xiaoqin said regretfully, "I have to go back to breastfeed later, and Gu Gu is pregnant again, so she can't exercise too much. Otherwise, we can go with you to look at houses and give you some advice."

"Ah? Gu Jia, are you pregnant?"

Wang Manni was taken aback. She knew that Gu Jia and Zhou Chen had obtained a marriage certificate, but she really didn't know about the pregnancy.

Zhong Xiaoqin rushed to answer: "Yes, it's been more than two months, can't you tell?"

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. Congratulations, Gu Jia."

Wang Manni's expression was a little stiff. Now she understood why Gu Jia and Zhou Chen could get married so quickly. It turned out that it was because Gu Jia was pregnant.

Looking at Gu Jia, whose every move was very elegant, she felt uncomfortable. It was obviously she who knew Zhou Chen first, so why did Gu Jia get the advantage in the end?

At first, she could only be a shameful lover, but Gu Jia was able to become Mrs. Zhou with a child, which made her feel very unbalanced.

Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin didn’t know how complicated Wang Manni’s mood was at the moment, and they still chatted with her enthusiastically, discussing how to help Wang Manni.

Faced with Gu Jia's enthusiasm, although Wang Manni had complicated feelings, she was also truly grateful in her heart. She just didn't know whether she was more jealous or grateful.

Zhou Chen stayed with Zhao Jingyu for a week until she was discharged from the hospital and then returned home.

As for Mr. Zhou, after meeting his great-grandson, he gave him a big red envelope and left contentedly.

However, before leaving, he had already said that once the child was weaned, he must send him to his place. He would hire someone to take care of the child and start training him from a young age.

Although Zhao Jingyu, who had just become a mother, was reluctant, she still agreed because she knew that the more her son was valued by the old man, the better her future would be. After all, he was her son and she didn't have to worry about him running away.

Although he has married Gu Jia, he does not plan to tell Gu Jia about the matter with Zhao Jingyu and the child, at least not for the time being.

The next day after Gu Jia went to work, Zhou Chen suddenly received a strange call. After answering it, he found out that it was Wang Manni who had disappeared for a long time.

Wang Manni asked him to meet her, saying that she had something to discuss, but he refused without a second thought. However, Wang Manni said that she had something very important to discuss and she had to see him. If Zhou Chen still had feelings for her, he should go and meet her.

Zhou Chen thought about it for a while and finally agreed to meet Wang Manni.

Chapter 381: Wish fulfilled, wives' circle reunited

"I heard that you went back to your hometown a long time ago. When did you come back?"

Wang Manni booked a private room in the tea restaurant. After Zhou Chen arrived, he looked at Wang Manni sitting opposite him and asked.

Compared with a few months ago, Wang Manni has changed a little. Maybe it's because she just came back from her hometown. She exudes a lazy aura, which is completely different from her previous fast-paced life.

"I came back yesterday."

Wang Manni looked at Zhou Chen with mixed feelings. He was still as handsome and capable as ever, an object that was out of her reach.

"I heard that you and Gu Jia got married, and she's pregnant. Congratulations on finding such a great wife."

Zhou Chen: "You asked me to come here not just to tell me this, right?"

Wang Manni nodded and said, "I don't want to go back to my hometown. I want you to help me gain a foothold in the Magic City."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to continue to sell luxury goods. I hope you can help me become the deputy manager of the Misia store."

Wang Manni stated her purpose.

Zhou Chen laughed dumbly: "You are so funny. I didn't open the Misia store, so how could I let you be the deputy store manager? And you think I am so easy to talk to, and I will help you with whatever you want me to do?"

Wang Manni said calmly: "I believe you have the ability to help me. I am now desperate. You are the only person I can think of. Even if it is for the sake of our past friendship, can't you help me once?"

Zhou Chen said calmly, "You women really like to bring up the past. You left so carefree, but now that you need my help, you bring up the friendship we had back then, as if I'm sorry and a scumbag if I don't help you."

Wang Manni's complexion changed. She knew that this trip would not be so smooth, and rich people are not so easy to talk to, especially since she has learned how good Zhou Chen is, and she knows that Zhou Chen is not someone she can persuade with a few words .

"As long as you can help me gain a foothold in the Magic City, I am willing to pay any price."

Zhou Chen did not answer immediately, but picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip slowly.

"When I needed you, I did a lot for you. If you had stayed with me, I would never have treated you unfairly. But you were unwilling to do so and finally chose to leave me. Now that you need my help, you come to me again. Don't you think that what you did is very shameless?"

As soon as the word "shameless" came out, Wang Manni's face suddenly became very ugly.

But Zhou Chen had no sympathy for her, because what she had done was not worthy of sympathy.

If she was really that noble, she would not have followed him in the first place. After she followed him, she wanted more and more, and finally when she saw there was no hope, she thought about leaving.

After leaving, he now comes back to ask him for help. How can he be so shameless?

Any normal person would not be able to stand being called shameless in person, but Wang Manni endured it because she knew Zhou Chen was her only hope.

"That's right, I have no shame. If I had any shame, I wouldn't have followed you for money. I want to go back to the Magic City now, and only you can help me. As long as you promise to help me, I'm willing to do anything, anything."

Zhou Chen chuckled and asked, "Even if it's that kind of thing?"

Wang Manni gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

"It seems like you're really willing to give it your all, but why should I help you? Not to mention that I'm married now, even if I'm not married, I can find any woman I want. Why do you think you can satisfy me and let me help you?"

Wang Manni said seriously: "Gu Jia and I are best friends."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen thought she wanted to move Gu Jia out, but the next moment, his eyes became unusually cold.

"Are you threatening me?"

Wang Manni shook her head and said, "No, how could I threaten you? What I mean is that Gu Jia and I are best friends. If you have any conflicts in the future, I can still help you persuade you. Who knows, I can help you in some way."

Zhou Chen saw that what she said was not true, and said, "If you want to say something, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."

Wang Manni smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, you should know about the incident with Liang Zhengxian in Hong Kong Island, right?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Wang Manni mentioned this. Did she think it had something to do with him?

But this is absolutely impossible, because he did not intervene in the whole process, and Wang Manni could not know the truth.

"Is that the guy who wanted to pursue you before and you were almost deceived?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, you may not know that he later contacted me and told me that you robbed his woman and even had a child with him in order to get revenge on him. Mr. Zhou, I never realized that you have such a strong desire for revenge."

Zhou Chen's face was cold. It was not surprising that Liang Zhengxian could find out that Zhao Jingyu was pregnant. What surprised him was that Liang Zhengxian actually told Wang Manni. When did this happen?

"Why, you want to use this matter to threaten me?"

Wang Manni: "No, you misunderstood. I just thought that you were looking for a woman outside and had a child. If someone leaked the news one day, I could still help you persuade Gu Jia."

"That's it?"

Zhou Chen showed a mocking smile, "Do you think you can persuade Gu Jia even if the truth is exposed?"

"I can't persuade her." Wang Manni answered honestly.

Although she has a very good relationship with Gu Jia now, she also knows Gu Jia's character. She doesn't have the ability to persuade Gu Jia.

The reason why she said so much was that she wanted to tell Zhou Chen that she also knew a lot of things, and between him and Gu Jia, she would definitely stand on Zhou Chen's side.

Wang Manni's answer made Zhou Chen understand something. This woman was just making conversation. In the final analysis, she still wanted to sell herself out in exchange for his help.

Speaking of which, he hasn't fully released himself for a long time since Zhao Jingyu gave birth and Gu Jia became pregnant. Now seeing Wang Manni who was dressed up carefully, he really felt a strong desire.

"come over."

"what?"

Wang Manni couldn't change her mind for a moment.

Zhou Chen said: "Didn't you say that as long as I am willing to help you, you are willing to give anything?"

Seeing Zhou Chen's expression, Wang Manni's face suddenly turned red, and she stammered, "Right, right here?"

"Why, is it not possible?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.

Wang Manni's face turned red and then blue. Many things flashed through her mind in an instant. Finally, she made a decision.

Instead of living an ordinary life in her hometown, it is better to give some of what she has already given and live a free and easy life in Shanghai.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, and immediately walked towards Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen pulled her in front of him. Wang Manni couldn't control her body and sat on Zhou Chen's lap. Then she felt Zhou Chen's hands becoming unruly and touching her everywhere.

"No, not here."

"Didn't you say that you were willing to do anything? Why not here?" Zhou Chen said with a wicked smile.

Wang Manni only felt her heart beating violently. She was already prepared, but the key point was that this was a restaurant. Although it was in a private room, there were people around her, and she was not thick-skinned enough to do that.

Just when Wang Manni's face turned red and she was feeling very uncomfortable, Zhou Chen suddenly stopped.

"Okay, don't be like that. I'm not that anxious. I just want to see if you're sincere."

Under Wang Manni's astonished gaze, Zhou Chen pushed her to stand up, and then stood up himself.

"Let's go."

"Where?"
