The world of film and television begins from childhood

The two of them stood quietly on the city wall, so close to each other, but unable to really be together.

After a long time, Xiang Nanfang suddenly coughed a few times, and Zhou Chen quickly said, "It's windy here, let's go down."

Xiang Nanfang: "I want to stand here for a while, just a little while. Maybe this will be the last time I stand here."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything else and just stayed with Xiang Nanfang for almost twenty minutes.

"I'm fine, let's go."

Xiang Nanfang took a breath, and the melancholy and sadness on his face completely disappeared, and he returned to his dignified, capable appearance.

When walking down the stairs, Xiang Nanfang suddenly said, "Zhou Chen, it's your loss if you don't choose me."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "You are right. This may be my greatest loss in this world."

Xiang Nanfang turned her head and looked at Zhou Chen in surprise. The original intention of her saying this was more to tease Zhou Chen, but she didn't expect Zhou Chen to go along with her.

This made her even more confused. If he knew this was the case, why did he give up on her? Was his fiancée really better than her?

There is no answer to this question, and she did not ask Zhou Chen.

Walking down the city wall, a young girl stood there, watching them.

Zhou Chen saw it, and so did Xiang Nanfang. She asked, "She must be your fiancée, right?"

"Well, her name is Qiao Sanli."

"She's so lucky."

"She's not the only one who's lucky."

Xiang Nanfang looked at her silently for a while, then walked towards Qiao Sanli.

Zhou Chen did not stop him, just watched quietly.

Xiang Nanfang walked up to Qiao Sanli, stretched out his hand, and said, "Xiang Nanfang."

Qiao Sanli also extended her hand and shook hands with her: "Qiao Sanli."

The two of them sized each other up, their gazes not yielding at all.

Qiao Sanli was surprised by Xiang Nanfang's beauty. The reason she was waiting here was because Qiao Simei just told her that she saw Zhou Chen going to the city wall with a woman.

She did not disturb him, but waited here quietly. She believed that Zhou Chen would not do anything to let her down.

But when she saw Xiang Nanfang, she still felt pressure and nervous. Even though it was the first time they met, she could feel the excellence of this woman.

Whether it's appearance, figure, temperament or spirit, he looks like a noble man.

"Qiao Sanli, you are very lucky. Zhou Chen is an exceptionally good man, so I believe that you, who are about to become his wife, must also be excellent."

Faced with Xiang Nanfang's praise, Qiao Sanli was a little surprised. She thought Xiang Nanfang would say something unpleasant.

"You are also very good, I can feel it."

Xiang Nanfang smiled gently and said, "I wish you all the best."

"Thank you."

Xiang Nanfang didn't say anything more, for she was afraid that if she said too much, she would not be able to control her inner jealousy.

"This is the gift I prepared for you. I was going to give it to Zhou Chen, but now that I see you, I'll give it to you."

Xiang Nanfang took out a gift box from her bag. It was a pair of brand-name watches she prepared for Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli.

Qiao Sanli saw Xiang Nanfang's sincerity. She looked at Zhou Chen, and after seeing Zhou Chen nod, she accepted Xiang Nanfang's gift.

"Thank you. You must come to our wedding day."

"If I have time, I will."

Xiang Nanfang forced a smile and waved at Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, I'm leaving first."

Qiao Sanli said: "Let Zhou Chen drive you."

"no need."

Xiang Nanfang just left without looking back. She knew that her fate with Zhou Chen was over, and she wanted to leave this sad place as soon as possible.

Qiao Sanli and Zhou Chen stood together, looking at the gifts in their hands.

"This sister is really outstanding, and she really likes you."

Zhou Chen put his arm around her and said, "Don't say that out loud."

Qiao Sanli said seriously: "I don't mind. You are so outstanding, it is impossible that no girls like you. But facing her generosity, I really can't feel hostility."

Zhou Chen sighed: "She is indeed very good, but you are not bad either. Don't belittle yourself. You will be my wife soon."

“This gift is very expensive.”

"It doesn't matter. She doesn't need these. I'll just find a way to return them to her later."

…………

The wedding day soon arrived. On New Year's Day, the Jinling Hotel was packed with people, and countless guests attending the wedding banquet flocked in from all over the place.

Originally sixty tables were booked, but in the end a dozen more were added before all the guests could be accommodated.

On this day, Zhou Chen was really busy from morning to night, and only had time to rest in the middle of the night.

At today's wedding, Zhou Chen dressed Qiao Sanli in a pure white wedding dress, which is very rare in this era and really amazed all the guests.

Today, Qiao Sanli is the most beautiful woman in the world.

No matter which era it is, getting married is a complicated matter and an unforgettable day, especially for newlyweds.

As the groom today, Zhou Chen was forced to drink a lot of wine. Fortunately, he has an amazing alcohol tolerance, otherwise he would have to walk sideways into the bridal chamber.

The days after marriage were happy and sweet. Even though both of them had jobs, they still spent every night together.

The Spring Festival came shortly after the marriage. After the Spring Festival, Zhou Chen took Qiao Sanli on a honeymoon trip around the country. The two of them traveled for nearly a month before returning to Jinling.

Shortly after returning, Qiao Zuwang, as the head of the Qiao family, issued orders to his children, asking them to go home on weekends and no one should be left behind.

The brothers and sisters of the Qiao family all understood Qiao Zuwang's personality. When he called them together, they all guessed his purpose. However, due to their father's identity, even if they were reluctant, they were still prepared to go back.

Zhou Chen drove the car, while Qiao Sanli sat in the passenger seat. She said, "When we get home, don't mind what my dad says. My eldest brother will definitely not let us suffer any loss. My dad is a person who will push his luck if you start a conversation with him, so we should try not to talk."

"I know, don't worry."

Zhou Chen was no stranger to this kind of scene, and he knew what was going on. He would just watch the show, and he was not afraid that Qiao Zuwang would rely on him.

As the car entered Shamao Lane and was about to stop, they saw Qiao Yicheng riding a bicycle with Wen Ju'an on the side of the road.

Qiao Sanli lowered the window and shouted, "Brother."

Qiao Yicheng heard the shouting, stopped the car, saw Zhou Chen and the others at a glance, and shouted in the same voice: "Sanli, Zhou Chen, you are here too."

After parking the car, the four of them walked together, and Zhou Chen called Wen Ju'an "sister-in-law."

Qiao Yicheng immediately snorted in dissatisfaction: "Zhou Chen, you are willing to call me sister-in-law, but why don't you call me brother?"

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and said, "You're too familiar. I really can't call you that. Wait a minute. Once I get used to it, maybe I can call you that."

"You kid, I handed my sister over to you, but you didn't even hear me call you brother. This is so unfair." Qiao Yicheng cursed angrily.

Qiao Sanli and Wen Ju'an both smiled when they heard the conversation between the two.

"Let's go. The old man must have already prepared the Hongmen Banquet and is waiting for us to take our seats. Don't keep him waiting for too long."

Chapter 520: Hongmen Banquet, the Lion Opens His Mouth

Hongmen Banquet!

That’s right, for the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family, Qiao Zuwang inviting them back for dinner was a real Hongmen Banquet.

Having been children of the Qiao family for so many years, they all knew exactly what kind of person their father was.

If something good happens, they will not think of their children at all. They will only remember to look for them when they are needed.

It has been a long time since the last family meeting. This time, Qiao Zuwang called everyone back for a family meeting, which was obviously planned.

When Zhou Chen and the others walked into the Qiao family's courtyard, they found that Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei had already arrived. In addition to the two of them, Qiao Zuwang was also sitting in the main room.

But what surprised them was that there was a strange man squatting at the threshold in front of the house.

When Qiao Yicheng saw this strange man, he asked in confusion, "Who is he?"

Qiao Zuwang came out angrily, pointing at Qiao Simei and scolding, "Ask your sister what this damn girl did. She has brought shame to our Qiao family."

When he heard that it was related to Qiao Simei, Qiao Yicheng's brows immediately frowned and an absurd guess popped up in his mind.

"Simei, what is going on? Who is he and why did you bring him to our house?"

Qiao Simei walked up to the man, took his arm, and introduced him openly, "Brother, this is my boyfriend, Qi Chenggang, who just got discharged from the army."

"Boy friend?"

Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli both had slightly changed expressions. After a bad thing happened to Qiao Simei, they inexplicably developed a bad feeling towards Qiao Simei's boyfriend, and always felt that Qiao Simei had a problem with her vision.

However, when Zhou Chen found out that the man was Qi Chenggang, he showed a half-smile.

This Qiao Simei is really a dog that can't change its bad habits. Having been fooled once, he actually fell for it again. Even after many years, his love-brain has not changed at all.

The lesson she learned in Shaoyang was not enough, and she met a similar man again. It can be said that she was unlucky, or that she asked for trouble.

"As far as I know, the annual retirement period hasn't arrived yet, right? It's only been a short while since the beginning of the new year, so there's still a long time before the retirement period."

Zhou Chen's words made everyone present change their expressions suddenly, because no one had ever served in the army, so they didn't know much about discharge.

Qiao Zuwang asked anxiously: "Zhou Chen, are you saying that it is not time for soldiers to retire yet?"

"Correct."

After getting a positive answer, Qiao Zuwang pointed at Qiao Simei angrily and asked, "Qiao Simei, what's going on? You came back before your discharge period. I don't think you were discharged, but fired, right?"

Qiao Simei glared at Zhou Chen in dissatisfaction, then explained: "Dad, that's not called expulsion in the army, it's called..."

"I don't care what his name is. Since this guy has been fired by the army, he must not be a good person. Let him go."

"Dad, Cheng Gang is my boyfriend. Why are you kicking him out? I don't agree."

Qiao Simei retorted loudly that Qi Chenggang met her requirements for a relationship and she had liked him for such a long time, so how could she drive him away just because of a word from Qiao Zuwang.

Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "This is my home. I don't welcome this kid. If you don't want him to leave alone, then get out with him."

Qiao Simei stiffened her neck and said, "If you chase me away, I won't give you a penny in the future."

"Hey, you stinky girl, you actually dare to contradict me for a wild man?"

When Qiao Zuwang heard his little daughter say she would not pay, his momentum suddenly weakened by half. "I raised you, so it is only natural for you to give me money. I don't think you dare not give it to me."

"If you want to drive me away, I won't give it to you." Qiao Simei refused to give in.

Zhou Chen looked at Qi Chenggang and couldn't help but admire this man's shamelessness.

Any normal man would have no face to stay in this situation, but this guy just stood there stupidly, motionless, as if he didn't hear anything.

Finally, Qiao Erqiang came out to smooth things over: "Dad, let's not talk about Simei for now. You called us back today to hold a family meeting, right? You go inside first, I'll go make dinner, and we'll have the meeting while we eat."

Qiao Zuwang got down the steps, so he snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the room.

"What sins did I commit in my previous life? What kind of creature did I give birth to?"

Qiao Yicheng also glanced at Qiao Simei with dissatisfaction, but Qiao Simei didn't take it seriously at all. She still held Qi Chenggang's arm, looking very affectionate.

Qiao Yicheng was helpless and could only not go to see her. He asked Qiao Erqiang, "Erqiang, why didn't your sister-in-law come over today?"

Qiao Erqiang forced a smile and said, "Xiaomo had something to do today, so I didn't let her come over."

In fact, his marriage with Sun Xiaomo has reached the end of the road, and the only thing left is divorce, but they have been struggling with this step for a long time and have not taken it yet.

Moreover, his mind is no longer on Sun Xiaomo, his mind is all on his master.

"Okay, I'll help you then."

"No need, big brother, I can do it alone. You take your sister-in-law into the house and sit down and chat with Zhou Chen and the others."

In the end, it was Qiao Sanli who took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help. Wen Ju'an also wanted to go, but was pushed out by Qiao Sanli.

Wen Ju'an and Qiao Yicheng have been married for so long, so the Qiao family naturally knows what kind of person Wen Ju'an is. He is really good to Qiao Yicheng, but when it comes to housework, he is a complete novice and has never even washed pots and dishes.
