The world of film and television begins from childhood

"We lived like this for another three years. In the third year of junior high school, Mingyang chose to live on campus in order not to embarrass me."

"Later, when Mingyang and I took the high school entrance exam, our family was poor, so my parents decided to let me give up high school and study nursing. I didn't want to, so we had a big fight. Later, Mingyang took the initiative to choose to go to vocational school, giving me the opportunity to go to high school."

"When I was in high school, my family sold a room upstairs to send my older brother to study in the United States. Later, Su Mingcheng had to work, so they sold another room. As a result, I had no room left and had to sleep in one room with my parents."

"When Mingyang was in vocational school, he used all his living expenses to buy me teaching materials and daily necessities. In my senior year of high school, he knew that my family didn't want me to apply to Shuimu University, so he came home and had a big fight with my parents. Then he comforted me and said that he would make money to help me apply to Shuimu University."

"In fact, he did make money. Those six months were the wealthiest time in my eighteen years of life. I had money to buy the books I wanted, to attend cram schools, and I had the confidence to get into Shuimu University without relying on my parents."

Listening to Su Mingyu's narration, Zhu Li felt her throat was uncomfortable and her eyes were a little sore, as if something was about to flow out.

Previously, influenced by Su Mingcheng, she did not have a good impression of Su Mingyu and Zhou Chen. She felt that they were too unkind and was even more disgusted with Zhou Chen who had been in jail.

But hearing their story, she was extremely shocked and felt guilty. Compared with Zhou Chen, her husband Su Mingcheng was really too ignorant.

Compared to Su Mingcheng and his elder brother Su Mingcheng, Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu are real siblings.

Not to mention Zhu Li, even Su Mingyu, the person involved, choked up a little when she talked about this. Thinking back to the past, she felt that she owed her brother too much.

"Good days are destined to be short-lived. Just before the college entrance examination that year, when Mingyang was working in a bar, a classmate who worked with him was bullied. He went to fight for justice and got into a fight with a customer, severely injuring the man."

"Haha, it's funny to talk about it. After the accident, his classmates disappeared and pushed all the responsibilities onto Ming Yang, causing Ming Yang to be arrested by the police station. The injured person wanted to mediate privately, but the condition was that our family gave him enough compensation."

"The funniest thing happened. After knowing that tens of thousands of compensation would be spent, my parents refused to pay, and they didn't even go to the police station to visit Ming Yang; there was no way, in order to save Ming Yang, I went to find relatives Borrowing money, but no one is willing to lend it to me, because my parents have already said hello, saying that if relatives borrow money, they will not help to pay it back."

"My own son was arrested, but the biological parents didn't even think about saving him. Instead, they tried to stop me from saving him. Isn't that funny?

To be honest, at that moment I really felt like the sky was falling, I felt like the whole world had abandoned Mingyang, and at that moment I even thought about dying with Mingyang, since no one cared about us except each other, so it was better to die and put an end to it all.”

"But that's just a thought. In fact, I don't have the courage. Mingyang is in the detention center and sentencing will take time. If Mingyang is not rescued before the sentencing, he will really go to jail. I have no choice but to come back and ask my parents for help."

"Finally, I gave up on applying to Shuimu University and agreed to go to the free normal school that my mother arranged for me. I also borrowed money from them in my own name and promised to repay it double in the future. Finally, they were willing to spend money to save Mingyang."

"After Mingyang was rescued, he did not go home but left alone to work. I also worked part-time while studying at university. It took the two of us three years to pay off the debt."

"After paying off the debt, I drew a line between my parents and me and signed an agreement. The general meaning was that they would die of old age and I would not need them to take care of them. From then on, the Su family's affairs would have nothing to do with me anymore."

Su Mingyu suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Zhu Li, "Oh, sister-in-law, when Mingyang and I paid back the money, you and Su Mingcheng were about to get married. Maybe that money will come in handy."

Zhu Li suddenly felt nauseous. She was going crazy when she thought that the money she used to marry Su Mingcheng was obtained in this way.

Su Mingcheng growled angrily: "Su Mingyu, you said all this yourself. Who knows if what you said is true? Mom is not the kind of person you said she is."

In his memory, his mother was the kindest and most gentle person. It was absolutely impossible for her to do the things that Su Mingyu said. Absolutely impossible.

Su Mingyu sneered: "Is it true? It's not you who said it. If you don't believe it, you can ask Dad."

Su Mingcheng immediately looked at Su Daqiang excitedly: "Dad, you tell me."

Su Daqiang remained silent, as if what Su Mingyu had just said had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Su Daqiang didn't say anything, Su Mingcheng became very angry and yelled at Su Daqiang angrily.

"Dad, please say something. You can't let Su Mingyu frame you and mom like this. Please say something."

"Su Mingcheng, shut up."

Zhu Li, who was already feeling extremely ashamed, saw that Su Mingcheng was still forcing Su Daqiang, and yelled at him angrily.

"Lili, I..."

"Stop talking. I told you to stop forcing Dad."

Zhu Li had never felt so embarrassed before. The more she thought about it, the more sick and uncomfortable she felt. She finally understood why Su Mingyu and Zhou Chen treated Su Mingcheng like that and why they were so cold to the Su family. It turned out that there was such a secret hidden in it.

After Su Mingcheng was scolded by Zhu Li, although he did not force Su Daqiang anymore, he still shook his head in disbelief.

"Impossible, Mom is definitely not that kind of person, absolutely impossible..."

Su Mingyu said again: "Second sister-in-law, if you still don't believe me, there is another way to prove what I said. My father likes to keep accounts the most. He has been keeping accounts for decades. He has several account books and remembers every expense in the family clearly."

"Su Mingyu, are you sick? You just blamed mom and now you're talking about the account book. What do you mean? If you don't want to support dad, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." ​​Su Mingcheng shouted at Su Mingyu angrily.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen said to Su Daqiang a little impatiently: "Dad, don't delay, take out your account book, after all this trouble, there must be a result."

Su Daqiang hesitated for a moment, but finally walked into the inner room and took out the account book.

There were many account books, but Su Mingzhe, Su Mingyu and Zhou Chen only had one in total, while Su Mingcheng had seven or eight.

Zhu Li took Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu's account books, Su Mingcheng took Su Mingzhe's account book, and Su Mingyu took Su Mingcheng's account book.

Zhou Chen was also curious and took a look at Su Mingcheng's account book, but after reading just a few pages, he lost interest.

Although he also despised Su Mingcheng's dependence on his parents, as the saying goes, it takes two to fight.

Since the mother was willing to give the money to Su Mingcheng, there was really nothing other people could do, let alone say anything, because the money was earned by the old couple themselves and they had the right to decide how to use it.

On the contrary, it is Su Daqiang's behavior that makes people even more speechless.

If you don't want to give it, you can just say it at that time instead of keeping a record secretly. What is the purpose of keeping a record?

It is difficult for a judge to settle family disputes, let alone when there is a father like this and a son who relies on his parents for support. It is even more difficult to sort out.

When Julie settled all the accounts, she was really speechless.

Among four siblings, the youngest brother spent the least money. Even the expenses of the other three combined were not as much as Su Mingcheng alone.

Needless to say, the final result was that Zhu Li, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, felt so ashamed after reading the account book that she decided that they would support Su Daqiang in the future.

Chapter 149 Su Mingzhe: Face is the most important

"Has your mood not calmed down yet?"

Sitting in the car, Zhou Chen did not start the car immediately. Instead, he looked at Su Mingyu who was sitting in the passenger seat wiping her tears, and asked softly.

Su Mingyu took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. She was a woman with a strong character, and she only showed her weakness in front of Zhou Chen.

"I thought I had let it go, but after I said it just now, I still felt very uncomfortable. God is really unfair to us."

Zhou Chen patted Su Mingyu's hand and said, "God has been very fair to us. At least you still have me as your brother."

Su Mingyu: "Yeah, yes, I still have you. If I didn't have you, I really don't know if I could hold on."

"Okay, stop talking so much. Go to work first. When you get off work in the evening, go to the bar and have a good drink. Let go of what you need to let go."

He has been persuading Su Mingyu to let it go because Zhao Meilan has passed away. Even if she suppresses the resentment in her heart, it will be of no use. Is she going to seek revenge on Su Daqiang?

Su Mingyu knew that it was impossible to vent her anger on Su Daqiang, so she vented all her anger on Su Mingcheng, who had bullied her since she was a child.

Of course, Su Mingben had brought this upon himself, so it was not excessive to vent all the resentment on him.

That night, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li argued for a long time at home. Since marrying Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li felt for the first time that the people in the Su family were too weird.

In the past, she, like Su Mingcheng, thought that her mother-in-law Zhao Meilan was kind and hardworking, but after what happened today, she realized that she had taken it for granted.

Zhao Meilan was only good to Su Mingcheng and herself, but to her own children Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu, she was extremely cold-blooded, which was not something a mother could do.

But Zhu Li was just angry. After she calmed down, she stopped thinking about these things and thought about how to return the family money they had spent to Su Daqiang and take good care of Su Daqiang in the future, leaving her eldest brother and Su Mingyu speechless.

Su Daqiang listened to Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li arguing in the bedroom and didn't dare to say a word.

He knew that Su Mingcheng must hate him to death for what happened today. He was well aware of how bad his second son was and was afraid that Su Mingcheng would be rude to him, so after coming back, he didn't dare to say a word for a long time.

Now he didn't dare to offend Su Mingcheng, because he still had to rely on Su Mingcheng to support him. Now he could only hope that Zhu Li would be nice to him and not let Su Mingcheng bully him.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Su Mingyu came to Zhou Chen's bar.

"Mingyang, come with me to America in a few days."

Zhou Chen looked surprised: "Why should I go to America with you?"

Su Mingyu: "Lao Meng asked me to go to America to attend the company's exchange meeting. I feel bored going alone. You can come with me."

"You're going to attend the exchange meeting, why should I follow you?"

"The exchange will be boring. If you come with me, you'll have company. You won't be at the bar for a few days anyway, and Da Huang will be watching over you, so it's no problem."

Su Mingyu didn't really want to go to America, but Lao Mengfei asked her to go. However, she felt it would be too boring to go alone, so she wanted to take Zhou Chen with her.

"I've been busy writing songs lately."

"You can write songs anywhere. When you go to America, you can go around and maybe get more inspiration."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was still hesitating, Su Mingyu put her arm around Zhou Chen's shoulders and said, "Mingyang, I beg you. When we go to America, we can go visit our eldest brother and his wife. We haven't met his sister-in-law and niece, so this is a good opportunity for us to go and see them."

Zhou Chen was helpless: "With your attitude, it seems that I can't go even if I don't want to."

"Yes, I have to go."

In the end, Zhou Chen naturally couldn't persuade Su Mingyu, so he gave her his ID and asked her to get a visa to the United States.

Three days later, Zhou Chen made an appointment to meet Yi Fei and handed the two USB flash drives to her.

"This is yours. This is given to you by me. It contains three songs I wrote. I think they are more suitable for you. But whether I will give it to you in the end depends on your own ability."

Yi Fei was delighted and took the USB drive. "You created three songs in such a short time?"

She was so surprised and also very hesitant because she had the ability to write songs and knew how difficult it was to create a good song.

Sometimes it may take a year or two to succeed, but Zhou Chen created three songs in just a few days, and they were created based on her characteristics, which made her doubt the quality of these three songs.

"I didn't create these songs in the past few days. I had the inspiration a long time ago but never finished it. It just so happened that you invited me to write a song this time, so I combined my previous ideas and created these three songs."

Yi Fei nodded in understanding. This is how creators are sometimes. Sometimes they can’t create a single song for a year or two, and sometimes they are so full of inspiration that they can write a song in a single day.

"What did you mean by your last sentence?"

Zhou Chen said, "I'll give you these three songs. I'm going to America tomorrow and it will take about a week for me to come back. You only have so much time. After I come back, I want to hear how you sing. If I'm satisfied, I can authorize you to sing them. Of course, there's no rush to discuss copyrights right now."

Yi Fei frowned. Was he trying to test her?

"it is good."

In the end, Yi Fei agreed because her desire for good songs could overcome everything else.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then I hope you can succeed."

The three songs he gave were all very good songs. As long as Yi Fei had the ability to sing well, he would definitely prefer to cooperate with Yi Fei. After all, from several contacts, Yi Fei's character was still very good.

Yi Fei answered confidently: "As long as your song is good enough, I won't let you down."

After Zhou Chen and Yi Fei reached an agreement, he said goodbye to Yi Fei. He went back home to rest early today because he had to catch a flight with Su Mingyu tomorrow morning.

The next day, Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu slept in the first-class cabin of the plane and arrived in America.

They set out from Shanghai in the morning, and when they arrived in San Francisco, it was morning here.

After arriving in San Francisco, they rested for a day. On the second day, Su Mingyu attended the exchange meeting held there.

As for Zhou Chen, he was "creating" in the hotel, and sometimes he would leave the hotel and wander around San Francisco.

In the previous Let's Get Married world, he had been to New York but not to San Francisco, so this was his first time in San Francisco.

San Francisco is also a large city in the United States, and a tourist destination. It is also close to Silicon Valley, one of the world's important technology research and development bases, and an important financial center on the west coast of the United States...

Over the past few days, Zhou Chen visited many famous places in San Francisco and saw many beautiful sights of the city.

On the fourth day, Su Mingyu finally got out of the exchange meeting and prepared to visit her elder brother and sister-in-law with Zhou Chen.

"Brother said he would pick us up later."

"Got it. I'll pack up and go down with you."

This time when he came to America, he only brought a laptop and nothing else, so he just changed his clothes and went out of the hotel with Su Mingyu to wait.

Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu were standing outside the hotel when an SUV stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, revealing Su Mingzhe's figure.

"Mingyu, Mingyang, get in the car."

"Big brother."

After Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu called out to each other, Zhou Chen sat in the back seat, while Su Mingyu sat directly in the co-pilot seat.

"Mingyu, you are doing well now. You even came to San Francisco to attend the exchange meeting on behalf of the company."

In Su Mingzhe's eyes, Su Mingyu must be doing very well since she was assigned to attend such an important meeting abroad.

He only knew that Su Mingyu was the sales manager, but he really had no idea how much power she had or how much money she had.

Su Mingyu smiled and said, "No way, this was originally the quota for our group's CEO, but he had something urgent to do, so I took advantage of it."

"That's because you are capable, so we sent you here. Among the brothers and sisters in our family, you are the best."

Su Mingzhe looked at Zhou Chen who was playing with his phone in the back through the rearview mirror and asked, "Mingyang, I also want to thank you. It's all thanks to you for taking care of Dad some time ago."
