The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Mom, Zheng Juan is calling you, why are you in a daze?"

Li Suhua glared at Zhou Chen fiercely, but still gave her son face and said to Zheng Juan, "Zheng Juan, come and sit down."

Zheng Juan was still a little shy, but Zhou Chen pulled her to sit down at the table without hesitation.

"Chunyan, it's so late, why don't you go home? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Zhou Chen asked Qiao Chunyan.

The more Qiao Chunyan looked at Zheng Juan, the more unhappy she felt. She thought Zhou Chen fell in love with some kind of good woman, but this was the result?

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she was prettier than Zheng Juan. Why didn't Brother Bingkun like her and had to like this woman? This woman must be a vixen.

"It's okay. It's still early. Brother Bingkun, we grew up together. Now that you have a girlfriend, of course I have to get to know your sister-in-law."

Then, she introduced herself to Zheng Juan with a smile on her face: "Hello, Zheng Juan, my name is Qiao Chunyan, I am Brother Bingkun's neighbor, we grew up together."

Zheng Juan replied stiffly: "Hello, hello."

Qiao Chunyan asked with a smile: "Zheng Juan, where are you from? You are not from our Guangzi film, right?"

Zheng Juan said truthfully: "I am from Guangzi Pian, and I live in Taiping Hutong."

"Taiping Hutong?"

Qiao Chunyan was surprised. Guangzipian was already considered a poor place, but Taipinghu was even poorer, more remote and more chaotic than Guangzipian.

She thought Zhou Chen had found such a good girl, but she didn't expect that she was a poor girl from Taiping Hutong.

"Zheng Juan, you..."

"Chunyan."

Li Suhua suddenly interrupted Qiao Chunyan's questioning and said in a friendly manner: "Chunyan, you still have to go to work tomorrow, go back first, otherwise your parents will worry."

She was very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's behavior of bringing Zheng Juan back without permission, but after all, this was their Zhou family's business. Before she even asked, Qiao Chunyan took the lead in asking questions. It would be strange for her to be happy.

Qiao Chunyan opened her mouth and finally responded, "Okay, Auntie, I'll go back first, otherwise my parents will really worry."

"Chunyan, go back slowly, and tell your mother that I will talk to her tomorrow."

"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely pass on your message. Brother Bingkun, I'll go back first."

Zhou Chen waved his hand: "Well, drive slowly on the road."

Qiao Chunyan walked to the door, turned around and said to Zheng Juan, "Zheng Juan, Taiping Hutong is not far from Guangzi Pian. If you have time, come and play with me."

"Oh, okay." Zheng Juan replied at a loss.

As soon as Qiao Chunyan left, the room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became weird.

"mom."

Zhou Chen was about to speak to interrupt this awkward situation, but Li Suhua suddenly said, "Kun'er, Mom understands what you mean. So, you go back to your room first, and I'll go to the inner room with Zheng Juan to talk."

Zhou Chen frowned and said, "Mom, if you have anything to ask, you can ask me. I was the one who pursued Zheng Juan first."

Li Suhua snorted in dissatisfaction: "Kun'er, don't you even listen to your mother now?"

"No, Mom, I just..."

Halfway through his words, Zhou Chen found Zheng Juan pulling his clothes, shaking her head at him, and whispered, "I'm fine. Auntie wants to talk to me, so I'll talk to her."

Zhou Chen thought about it and felt that it would not be a good idea if the stalemate continued. Since Li Suhua wanted to talk to Zheng Juan alone, he would grant her wish.

"Then I'll go into the house first. Mom, Zheng Juan is a decent person, please don't make things difficult for her."

Li Suhua said angrily: "Who do you think your mother is? Come into the house quickly and don't delay our conversation."

After Zhou Chen entered the room, he saw Li Suhua and Zheng Juan walk into the inner room. Zheng Juan followed carefully behind them, like a wronged young wife.

Li Suhua closed the door tightly, as if she was afraid that Zhou Chen would eavesdrop.

In fact, Zhou Chen had no intention of eavesdropping at all. He didn't care what Li Suhua said to Zheng Juan. What he had decided could not be changed by Li Suhua's few words.

An hour later, no one knew what Li Suhua and Zheng Juan said, but Zheng Juan stayed to have dinner. Only after dinner did Zhou Chen send Zheng Juan back to Taiping Hutong.

On the way back, Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan, "My mother didn't say anything excessive to you, did she? If she did, don't take it to heart. No matter what she thinks, I have decided on you. When we reach the legal age, we will go and get a marriage certificate."

Zheng Juan was very moved when she heard this. She said softly, "Auntie didn't say anything excessive to me. She just asked about my situation and told me about you."

"anything else?"

"Auntie wants me to leave you."

"Then you agreed?"

"No, I said I like being with you, and as long as you want me, I will always be with you."

Zhou Chen was stunned after hearing this. After a few seconds, he reached out and took Zheng Juan into his arms.

"Juan'er, you did the right thing. You are destined to be with me. No matter what others say in the future, don't listen. Just remember that I will not abandon you. That's enough."

Zheng Juan also hugged Zhou Chen and said softly, "Well, I understand."

After sending Zheng Juan home safely, Zhou Chen saw many drunks and scoundrels hanging around in Taiping Hutong on the way back, which made his expression become serious.

Taiping Hutong is not only poor, but also chaotic. Eighty to ninety percent of the people living here do not have urban household registration, and no household registration means no job.

Young people without jobs can only hang around or work as temporary workers, and more of them end up becoming small-time hooligans.

It is really unsafe to live in such a place, especially like Zheng Juan's house, which is old and small, there is no man in the house, and the door must be bitten and locked to be safe when sleeping at night.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen became even more determined to buy a house.

When I got home, I found my mother Li Suhua was still awake and sitting on the kang in a daze.

"You still remember to come back. I thought you forgot about your mother now that you have a woman." Li Suhua said in a harsh tone.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, sat down next to her, and put his arms around her body.

"Look at what you said. Even if I forget everyone, I can't forget you. You are my biological mother. Is it important for a daughter-in-law to have a biological mother?"

Li Suhua snorted coldly, "I see you said the opposite in front of Zheng Juan, Bingkun, I find that you are really getting more and more disobedient now. You brought the person in without even discussing it with me. If someone saw this, who knows what they would say about our family behind our backs."

Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "Whoever wants to discuss, let them discuss. We live our own lives. What does it have to do with them?"

"You don't care, but your father and I do. Kun'er, tell me the truth. Are you really sure about this Zheng Juan?"

"Yes, Mom, I've decided on her, and she's the only one I won't marry in my life."

"Ugh."

Li Suhua sighed heavily. She found that her youngest son's temperament had changed a lot since he started working at the publishing house.

In the past, Bingkun was naughty and mischievous, and did not work hard; but after working, he became mature and sensible, and his interpersonal skills seemed to have improved all of a sudden.

But the only thing that hasn't changed is that his temper is still as stubborn. No, it should be said that it has become even more stubborn.

There is nothing he can't do as long as he wants to do it. It turns out that Bingkun always listens to her about household matters.

But over the past year or so, the youngest son has taken on the responsibility of supporting the family. Whenever there is a problem, he is the one who takes the lead and is able to complete the task well.

To say that over the past year or so, she was satisfied with her youngest son in every way, except for the matter of Zheng Juan, she felt unhappy.

She had just chatted with Zheng Juan for a long time. Even though she was still not very satisfied with Zheng Juan, she had to admit that Zheng Juan was indeed a very simple and honest girl. She spoke very politely and slowly, which was something that could not be faked.

She has a good personality and good looks. After listening to Zheng Juan describing her family's affairs, Li Suhua knew that Zheng Juan was a capable person.

But it is impossible to judge how diligent they are and whether they can manage the housework of a family without seeing it with your own eyes.

But after this conversation, she was no longer as resistant and dissatisfied with Zheng Juan as before. Instead, she felt a little pity for the child.

"Kun'er, Mom is an uneducated person and doesn't understand any great principles. I just think that you are capable now, working as an editor in a publishing house, and you are an educated person. If you find an uneducated person like Zheng Juan, I am worried that you will regret it in the future."

Zhou Chen said: "Mom, my dad graduated from junior high school, but you don't even know how to read. After you two got together, did my dad regret it?"

Li Suhua gave Zhou Chen angrily, with an angry expression on his face: "You son of a bitch, you only know how to anger your mother. I'm talking about you. Why are you talking about me and your father?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I was just giving an example. What I really want to say is that being educated or uneducated is not the criterion for whether a marriage can be happy. Zheng Juan is uneducated, so she can take care of the family, and I am capable, so I can take care of the outside affairs. With the cooperation of the inside and outside affairs, we will be happier."

"Okay, you are educated now, but Mom is an uneducated person and can't argue with you."

Li Suhua sighed and said, "Mom is not blind. I can see how much that girl likes you. I can't do anything to break up a couple."

Zhou Chen was overjoyed: "Mom, do you agree that Zheng Juan and I can be together?"

Seeing Zhou Chen so happy, Li Suhua felt jealous and snorted, "I didn't say I agreed. Besides, it's useless for me to say I agree. Write a letter to your father, tell him about your affairs, and ask for his opinion. If he agrees, Mom won't object."

Zhou Chen's smile froze for a moment, but then he continued, "No problem, I'll write a letter to my dad now."

Seeing Zhou Chen hurriedly returning to his room, Li Suhua shook her head helplessly: "This kid."

Li Suhua naturally missed her husband very much because she hadn't seen him for more than a year. However, she knew her man very well and he probably wouldn't agree with what Bingkun and Zheng Juan were doing.

Zhou Chen could naturally think of what Li Suhua could think of, but he still planned to write a letter to Zhou Zhigang.

Anyway, the letter has been written and the notification has been made. It is Zhou Zhigang's business whether he agrees or not, and it is her own business whether to marry Zheng Juan or not.

Chapter 558: Lying, Death Penalty, The Story Begins

That night, many people suffered from insomnia, but Zhou Chen was the only one who did not have any psychological pressure and slept soundly.

When Zhou Chen got home from get off work the next day, he found that after he entered the Guangzi piece, many people pointed at him, looked at him strangely, and whispered about something.

Zhou Chen has become accustomed to being the center of attention. Ever since he went to work at a publishing house, he has become a well-known figure in the film industry and is often discussed.

But the situation today is obviously different. It doesn't seem like envy, but more like a kind of gloating ridicule.

Zhou Chen thought about it and thought of a possibility.

"Has the story between me and Zheng Juan spread?"

This doubt was soon solved. When he was almost home, he met his childhood friends Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing.

"National Day, catch up, why are you here?"

Sun Ganchao said with a smile: "We came here specifically to look for you. We heard that you were having an affair with a girl from Taiping Hutong?"

Zhou Chen frowned and scolded, "Do you know how to talk? What do you mean by getting together? We are in a serious relationship and we are going to get married in the future."

"It's actually true?"

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao were both shocked, and Sun Ganchao asked anxiously, "Kun'er, what's going on? Why haven't I heard you talk about this before?"

Xiao Guoqing asked curiously, "Kun'er, weren't you and Qiao Chunyan getting along well? Why are you dating a girl from Taiping Hutong now?"

Zhou Chen immediately clarified: "Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with Qiao Chunyan, I just grew up in the same street, Zheng Juan and I are true love, catch up, I think you like Chunyan very much, brother will not follow you Robbed."

Xiao Guoqing laughed: "Haha, Kun'er, you are right, Gan Chao really misses Chunyan, but it's a pity that Chunyan doesn't like him."

It was no longer a secret in the eyes of these childhood friends that Sun Ganchao was thinking about Qiao Chunyan.

"roll."

Sun Ganchao pushed Xiao Guoqing aside. He was naturally unhappy about being teased. He did like Qiao Chunyan, but Qiao Chunyan didn't like him and liked Zhou Chen.

"Kun'er, your partner's name is Zheng Juan?"

"Yes."

They were all childhood friends, so there was no scruple when talking to each other. Sun Ganchao asked directly, "I heard that Zheng Juan's family is very poor, and they live in Taiping Hutong. You are so well-off, why did you think of looking for Zheng Juan?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Finding a wife is not like buying something. A good wife may not be suitable for you. I just like Zheng Juan, and it has nothing to do with her conditions."

"Kun'er, you really aren't worried at all. You don't know what kind of reputation our films have had. Many people are laughing at you, saying that you've become stupid from studying too much." Xiao Guoqing sighed.

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I just follow the crowd. I don't care at all. I will get married with Zheng Juan next year. I will invite you to the wedding banquet then."

Sun Ganchao looked envious: "Kun'er, you are younger than all of us, and you got married earlier than us. But will your uncle and aunt really agree to let you marry Zheng Juan?"

Xiao Guoqing interrupted and said, "This is Kun'er's own business. Don't worry about it."

The changes in Zhou Chen over the past year were not only noticed by Li Suhua, but also by Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao, who were often together.

When the three of them are together, Zhou Chen has gradually become the dominant one, but they do not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

After chatting with Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao for a while, Zhou Chen went home.

The affair between herself and Zheng Juan had spread, and it went without saying that it must have something to do with Qiao Chunyan. Li Suhua would never tell anyone about it.

Qiao Chunyan might not spread it everywhere, but once her mother knew about it, it would definitely spread like wildfire, just like today.

Chunyan's mother and Li Suhua seem to have a good relationship and are sisters, but they are just plastic sisters. In the TV series, they often hurt each other.

The current affairs between Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan must have annoyed Chunyan's mother, and it is most likely that she deliberately spread it.
