The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen quickly said: "Auntie, you really don't have to be so polite. You don't need to return the gift."

"Nonsense, how can I not want it? Don't worry about it. I have my own arrangements."

In fact, Xue Sumei had already prepared something, but when she saw Zhou Chen's gift list today, she felt that her own things were really not presentable, so she wanted to prepare a new one.

Zhou Chen stayed for lunch, and the family got along very harmoniously.

During the meal, Xue Sumei took the initiative to bring up the idea of ​​marriage. Zhou Chen already had it in mind and said he wanted to get married during the National Day holiday. Since there were only a few months left in his one-year marriage, he thought it would be better to get married a month or two in advance to prevent any accidents.

Xue Sumei naturally had no objection to this. Instead, she was very happy. Especially after seeing Zhou Chen's gift list, she was more afraid of the consequences than Zhou Chen. The sooner they got married, the better.

It’s not that she was blinded by money, but she could see from Zhou Chen’s gift list how much Zhou Chen valued Yang Tao. She certainly wouldn’t refuse if it could benefit her daughter.

Yang Tao would have no objection at all. She had already made preparations. All she had to do next was to prepare herself as the bride.

She even started designing a wedding dress for herself, ready to wear on her wedding day.

The decoration of the new house is almost completed. In order to prevent formaldehyde from exceeding the standard, the decoration materials and furniture used by Zhou Chen are formaldehyde-free, or contain very little formaldehyde.

After the decoration is completed, remove the formaldehyde. After a period of time, there will be no problem living in it.

The bridal shop also opened for wedding services during this period. As the wedding planner and host, Jiao Yang helped them a lot.

The key is that Jiao Yang can really speak, can speak, and the atmosphere he hosts is very enthusiastic. Although it can't be said to be the best, it is definitely at a professional level.

Zhou Chen also met with Guoran a few more times and listened to him talk about his ex-girlfriend.

It turned out that she really did not embarrass the man. Even when his ex-girlfriend came to him and wanted to rekindle the relationship with him, he simply ignored that woman. Even when that woman kept pestering him, he remained indifferent and stuck to his bottom line.

I have to say, compared to Duan Xifeng, he is indeed much more reliable.

Because of Zhou Chen, Yang Tao had met Guo Ran several times. There was even one time when Yang Tao suddenly said that she wanted to introduce Lan Weiwei to Guo Ran.

This scared Zhou Chen so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly refused, saying, "I won't betray my buddy like this."

Who is Lan Weiwei?

Introducing her to Guo Ran would be a scam, and Lan Weiwei's mother is also a top-notch one, so Zhou Chen refused immediately.

In the following days, in addition to working, Zhou Chen and Yang Tao would go shopping in various shopping malls after work to buy wedding supplies, etc. Their days were very fulfilling.

Now, apart from Zhou Chen and Yang Tao, the happiest person is Xue Sumei. When encountering happy things, the first person she thinks of is her two old sisters.

So Xue Sumei immediately called her two old sisters, and the three old Fans gathered together again.

"Xiu'er, Ping'er, here, here."

Xue Sumei arrived at the tea restaurant early, and when she saw Liu Xiu and Xue Sumei, she immediately shouted loudly.

"Su Mei."

When Liu Xiu saw Xue Sumei, he immediately shouted happily, while Lan Caiping had a cold expression, as if someone owed her money.

After sitting down, Liu Xiu spoke first: "Su Mei, the stocks recommended by Tao Zi's boyfriend last time really increased according to what my daughter-in-law said. It's a pity that my daughter-in-law didn't have time to buy them at that time. By the way, have you heard more from your son-in-law?"

“Is it really going up?”

Xue Sumei was also shocked when she heard Liu Xiu's words.

Previously, Liu Xiu asked Zhou Chen through her, asking what stocks were worth buying recently, so Zhou Chen recommended technology stocks and medical stocks. He didn't say anything specific, but just said that these two types of stocks can be held.

Xue Sumei didn't take it seriously and just told Liu Xiu about it as if she was bragging. Two months had passed, and she didn't expect Liu Xiu to tell her that the price had really increased.

"How much has it increased?"

Lan Caiping also became interested because she had also bought stocks. Although she was not an expert, she would certainly like to buy them if she could make money.

Liu Xiu shook his head: "I don't know about this, but my daughter-in-law said that she wants to invite Xiao Zhou to dinner and have a good talk about the stock market."

"Well, I don't know if Xiao Zhou has time."

Xue Sumei laughed. She could brag, but if she really had to make the decision for Zhou Chen, she couldn't do it.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Young people should make more friends. Your daughter and son-in-law have opened a business now. My daughter-in-law's family is well-off and has a wide network of contacts. It will be good for the children to get to know each other, which will also be good for their business."

Upon hearing this, Xue Sumei felt that it made sense. If she could help Zhou Chen's bridal shop, then it would be worth making friends with him.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Taozi and Xiao Zhou. They should be willing to make friends."

Seeing Liu Xiu and Xue Sumei talking but not mentioning her daughter at all, Lan Caiping felt a little unhappy.

"Sumei, you called us out today, is there something wrong? You look so happy that you can't even close your mouth."

"is it?"

Xue Sumei didn't care about Lan Caiping's ridicule and was still very happy.

"But Ping'er, you are right. I called you here today because there is indeed a big happy event."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 115 Old Versailles

"Happy event? What happy event can you have?"

When Lan Caiping heard Xue Sumei's words, she looked disdainful. As sisters in name only, she would mock her whenever she got the chance.

Xue Sumei was happy today, so she didn't care about Lan Caiping's sarcasm.

"Of course it's a happy event. Taozi is getting married."

"What? Taozi is getting married?"

Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping were both shocked. Although they knew that Yang Tao and Zhou Chen had been dating for several months, they did not expect that they would get married so soon.

Xue Sumei smiled and said, "Yes, they are getting married. The wedding date is set for the National Day holiday. It was Xiao Zhou who took the initiative to propose it."

"This is really great news, Sumei." Liu Xiu also seemed very happy.

Lan Caiping frowned: "It hasn't been long since we started dating, and the man has already taken the initiative to propose marriage. Isn't there any problem with this?"

"Ping'er, what are you talking about? What's the problem? How can there be a problem if two children are so close that they can get married?"

Xue Sumei didn’t care when Lan Caiping mocked her before, but when she heard her talking about her child, she immediately became angry.

Lan Caiping: "Sumei, I am thinking about you and Taozi. I advise you not to be too impulsive. Marriage is a big deal. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret."

"Lan Caiping, what's wrong with you? My daughter is getting married, what do you mean by saying this? Are you cursing me? Can't you just bear to see me have an easy life?"

"Su Mei, you really misunderstood me. I am just telling the truth."

Seeing Lan Caiping's "I'm doing this for your own good" look, Xue Sumei was furious. "Xiu'er, look at her, she's so vicious. Lan Caiping, I know you're just jealous that Taozi found a good man, so you're so weird. Hey, I'm going to piss you off again today."

As she said that, she placed her bag on the table and prepared to start looking for something.

"Hey, Sumei, is this bag of yours a Chanel handbag?"

When Liu Xiu saw the handbag Xue Sumei took out, he screamed and leaned over to take a careful look.

"Yes, it's this logo. My daughter-in-law also has two bags of this brand. It's great, Sumei. Why are you carrying such expensive bags now?"

When Xue Sumei heard this, she immediately laughed, and her smile was so bright.

"You mean this bag? Hey, Taozi gave it to me. She said Zhou Chen bought her several at once and she couldn't use them all, so she gave me one.

I didn't want it at first, after all, this bag is carried by young people, and it's not suitable for an old man like me to carry it, but Taozi insisted on giving it to me, so I had no choice but to carry it;

I heard from Taozi that this bag costs hundreds of thousands. You said this bag is so small and can't hold many things, so why is it so expensive?"

This wave of pretense was extremely lethal. After hearing it, Lan Caiping's face turned very ugly. Her family was well-off, but she had never bought such an expensive bag. Now Xue Sumei was actually better than her, which made her very depressed.

This bag was just an appetizer. Xue Sumei took out the gift list that Zhou Chen gave her from her bag and placed it in front of Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping.

"Take a look at this. This is the gift list that Xiao Zhou sent. I don't know much about this. Xiu'er, you have a son, so you must know more than me. Check to see if there is anything missing. If there is, I will talk to Xiao Zhou. After all, Taozi is my only daughter, and I can't let her suffer any grievances."

Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping opened the gift list out of curiosity. When they saw it, they were dumbfounded.

…………

"Let's go pick up my cousin. After we finish taking the maternity photos, we'll go back to eat together. My mom called me."

After fastening his seat belt, Yang Tao said to Zhou Chen who was in the driver's seat.

Today, Yang Tao and her cousin Su Qing made an appointment to go to the store to take maternity photos, so Zhou Chen planned to go with her to pick up Su Qing and bring her to the store.

"No problem, let's go to the library to pick someone up first."

Zhou Chen started the car, drove across the sidewalk, and slowly merged into the motor vehicle lane.

After arriving at the library, Yang Tao got off the car and said, "You wait here, I'll go pick up my cousin."

"Row."

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen, who was playing with his mobile phone, saw Yang Tao calling.

"Taozi, are you here? I'm not leaving. I'm right here. You..."

"Huh? Okay, just stand where you are and don't move. I'll be there now."

After quickly hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen got out of the car and ran quickly.

It turned out that Yang Tao called and said that someone was looking for trouble with Su Qing, and she was trying to stop him and asked him to go over quickly.

Zhou Chen didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed over as fast as he could.

When he arrived at his destination, he saw a burly man stopping Yang Tao and Su Qing.

"Zhou Chen, this way."

Although Yang Tao was nervous, she still protected Su Qing and prevented the man opposite from hurting Su Qing. When she saw Zhou Chen coming, she immediately shouted loudly.

Zhou Chen rushed over in three or two steps, stopped Yang Tao and Su Qing behind him, and looked at the ferocious man in front of him with a stern face.

"Who are you?"

Before Zhou Chen could say anything, the big man pointed at him and shouted.

Zhou Chen slapped his hand away.

"I haven't asked you yet, who are you? Why are you stopping my wife and sister?"

"Oh my god, you dare to hit me."

The man immediately became angry and took a step forward to attack, but Zhou Chen was not afraid of him. He also took a step forward, and the two of them were only a dozen centimeters apart.

"What's wrong with hitting you? If you point your fingers at me again, I'll hit you anyway."

He didn't care who the other person was. Since he dared to bully Yang Tao and Su Qing, he must not be a good person. Although he didn't want to cause trouble, it didn't mean he was afraid of trouble.

"Zhou Chen, don't fight."

Seeing Zhou Chen coming up to attack, Yang Tao immediately stood behind him, grabbed his clothes, and pulled him back a few steps.

Although the man looked fierce and like a second-rate person, he did not attack immediately despite his fierceness.

"Taozi, Sister Qing, who is he? Do you know him?"

Su Qing replied: "He said he was Deng Jiajia's brother, and that he came to ask for money on behalf of Duan Xifeng."

"Deng Jiajia's brother?"

Zhou Chen immediately understood what was going on when he heard it: "I understand, Sister Qing, although Duan Xifeng has wronged you, he is not willing to let anyone bully you. It seems that the woman's family came to you without telling Duan Xifeng."

Su Qing nodded and said calmly: "I know. I was just about to call Duan Xifeng, but he broke my phone and threatened me that I should either give his family one million or transfer the house to them."

"They are so shameless." Yang Tao cursed angrily.

"Who are you scolding, you bitch?"

Deng Jiajia's brother pointed at Taozi and started cursing, which made Zhou Chen, who was already unhappy, even more furious.

"Fuck you, you bastard, do you believe I will beat you up?"

"Boy, are you so arrogant? Come on, I've been around for decades, why would I be afraid of you?" The eldest brother of the Deng family shouted arrogantly.

"Zhou Chen, don't be impulsive, don't do it."

Yang Tao and Su Qing each held one of Zhou Chen's hands to stop him from taking action, which meant that even if Zhou Chen wanted to take action, he couldn't.

Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't dare to take action, the eldest brother of the Deng family became even more arrogant. He straightened his collar and threatened.

"I don't care what your relationship is, just give me the money quickly, otherwise I will kill you."

"Taozi, Sister Qing, let me go."

Zhou Chen whispered to the two of them: "I will control myself, don't worry, I know what I am doing."
