The film and television city starts from the courtyard

While Zhao Shucheng and his family were having dinner, the news on TV broadcast the news of the collapse of the Linjiang Bridge.

Upon hearing this, Qin's mother couldn't help but say, "This shoddy construction project is clearly a case of collusion between officials and businessmen."

Zhao Shucheng glanced at it, then immediately stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, Grandma, you eat, I have something to do."

"What's the rush? Let's finish our meal before you leave."

"No need, I have something urgent to attend to."

After Zhao Shucheng left home and got into his car, he immediately called Wang Ying and asked, "Wang Ying, there's been an accident on the Linjiang Bridge in Beijing. Will this project involve your father?"

"what?"

Wang Ying was shocked when she heard this. Although she didn't care much about family matters, she knew that her uncle was in the construction business.

"I don't know either, wait for me to call and ask."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Ying called her father.

Following Wang Ying, I learned that this matter was indeed related to her uncle, and her father was the bureau chief. Because of her uncle's situation, he was now in a bit of a mess.

Zhao Shucheng didn't receive Wang Ying's call and immediately realized that this was likely the reason for the trouble in Wang Ying's family, but he could only wait for the outcome.

Although he knew the problem lay with Wang Ying's uncle, he had obtained the project through Wang Ying's father's power and influence, and now he was producing a shoddy construction project. Now that things had gone wrong, he naturally bore the greatest responsibility, a responsibility he could never escape.

Therefore, it wasn't entirely unjust that Wang Ying's father was implicated and eventually investigated. However, Zhao Shucheng felt somewhat regretful, as the Wang family, which originally had a bright future, was ultimately ruined by him because of Wang Ying's uncle.

Although Zhao Shucheng couldn't save the Wang family, she was his girlfriend, so he had to protect her.

Wang Ying was a little worried, so she decided to return to China.

Yang Cheng took Wang Ying to the airport and said, "Everything's fine now, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"No, I don't feel at ease."

"Don't worry, they've been through a lot. Even if there's some trouble, they have a way to deal with it."

Wang Ying felt that things were not so simple. After all, if there was really nothing wrong, why would her parents insist that she stay abroad and not go back?

Zhao Shucheng also learned that Wang Ying was returning to China, so he specially drove to the airport to pick her up.

As soon as Wang Ying came out, she saw Zhao Shucheng and threw herself into his arms, saying, "Qin Chuan!"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "Alright, everyone's watching. Actually, you don't need to worry about this. Maybe it won't involve your uncle?"

"I'm just worried. Oh, right, I'll go home first, and then I'll come find you."

"Okay, we're not in a rush anyway. Let's go, I'll take you home first."

When Wang Ying's mother saw her daughter return, especially since Zhao Shucheng had brought her back, she smiled and said, "Xiao Qin, thank you for bringing Xiao Ying back."

“Auntie, what are you saying? Wang Ying is my fiancée, so it’s only right that I pick her up and drop her off. You two must have a lot to talk about, so I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll pay a formal visit tomorrow.”

"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer."

After Zhao Shucheng left, Wang Ying's mother took Wang Ying back home and said, "I told you not to come back, not to come back, but you wouldn't listen and you still went back on your own."

"Something happened at home, how could I not come back to check on things?"

"You think the 10+ hour flight from England back home is like taking a taxi? I've spoiled you."

"I was worried, wasn't I? I tried calling my uncle, but I couldn't get through."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ying's mother frowned and asked, "Who told you to call him?"

"He's my uncle. People outside are saying something happened to him. What's wrong with me calling him?"

Wang Ying's mother said, "Even if something happens to him, the law will take care of it. What business is it of yours?"

Hearing her mother say this, Wang Ying asked somewhat uneasily, "Mom, will this involve Dad?"

"I'm telling you, don't meddle in adults' affairs. Just rest at home for a day, hang out with Xiao Qin, and then go back to class."

After speaking, Wang Ying's mother turned and left. Although she appeared calm, she was actually under immense pressure. She knew very well that even if her husband wasn't involved, he would still be implicated, and the Wang family's downfall was inevitable.

Xu Lin and the others learned that Wang Ying had returned, so they called her and arranged to meet.

Although Wang Ying was feeling heavy-hearted, she still wanted to see her friend.

When they arrived at the agreed location, Xie Qiao was the first to arrive, while Xu Lin, after getting nearby, didn't know where to go.

Xie Qiao had to go out to pick her up before they finally met at the restaurant.

As a reporter, Xu Lin already knew about the troubles in Wang Ying's family, so he immediately asked:
"How are you? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, what could possibly happen?"

"Director Wang and Chairman Wang have all reported on this shoddy construction project. Your uncle's full name is listed in the report."

Xie Qiao was surprised to hear this and said, "No, what do you mean? Is that your father?"

"Ok!"

Xie Qiao and the others couldn't offer much help, so they could only offer Wang Ying a few words of comfort.

After Wang Ying came out, Zhao Shucheng was already waiting outside. He said, "Let's go, Miss, let's go see our little nest. I decorated it according to your preferences; I'm sure you'll like it."

"Alright, I'll go take a look."

Although Wang Ying was still a little worried, she knew there was nothing she could do but wait for the final result.

Actually, after she came back, she sensed some changes in her surroundings. The most obvious change was that before, after she returned, her friends would proactively call and ask her out.

But since returning this time, she hasn't received any calls about it. She even tried calling her friends, but they couldn't get through or answer. "Qin Chuan, do you know, none of my friends are answering my calls anymore."

Seeing Wang Ying's somewhat aggrieved expression, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Alright, it's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. People who don't answer your calls at this time can't really be considered your true friends. You don't need friends like that. You still have me, Xie Qiao, Xu Lin, and the others. They won't distance themselves from you because of this, right?"

"you're right."

"Of course, the most important thing is me. Even if the whole world ignores you, I will always be by your side. So, are you ready for the next few days?"

"what to prepare?"

"Of course it's the engagement party! Have you forgotten? Our two families have already discussed it beforehand. We'll get engaged this year, and then we'll get married after you graduate. Now that you're back, your uncle probably won't be too busy anymore, so the engagement is perfect."

Wang Ying was stunned when she heard this, and hesitated before saying, "We're in the eye of the storm right now, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to get engaged?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it. I think this is actually a very good time to let those who have distanced themselves from you know that even if something happens to your family, you still have me as your support and will always be that proud young lady.”

"I need to ask my parents about this, it's all too sudden."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, there's no rush. By the way, how many days of leave did you take this time?"

"One week? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. A week is plenty of time. Let's go on a trip together, see the scenery, and relax."

"Is this appropriate?"

"Why not? It's perfect! We should let those gloating people see that nothing's wrong with us and we're still enjoying life."

"That's fine."

Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected. Zhao Shucheng and his family had a good plan, but Wang Ying's parents were worried that their extravagant wedding might arouse suspicion. So, they canceled the engagement banquet and asked Zhao Shucheng and Wang Ying not to make a fuss about it.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Ying looked at Zhao Shucheng apologetically and said, "Qin Chuan, I'm sorry, I..."

Zhao Shucheng patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, I understand your worries. We have plenty of time in the future, so there's no rush. At worst, I'll go abroad to find you, and we can make up for this vacation."

"Mmm!" Wang Ying leaned against Zhao Shucheng's chest and nodded gently.

She was initially a little sad, but Zhao Shucheng comforted her. Knowing that Zhao Shucheng wouldn't leave her because of this, she hugged him tightly, hoping they would never be separated.

Wang Ying was actually a little disappointed that Xiao Qianxi hadn't attended her gathering with Xie Qiao and the others. However, she understood; after all, Xiao Qianxi was a celebrity now, and her daily schedule was already planned out, so she couldn't make decisions on her own.

Actually, Xiao Qianxi had her eye on a house designed by a designer she had specially invited from abroad by the construction company, and she fell in love with it at first sight.

However, her career is just starting out. Although she has made some money from her records, there is still a long way to go before she can afford to buy this house.

So during this period, in order to earn money to buy a house as soon as possible, Xiao Qianxi asked Chen Tianhe to arrange a lot of work for her, including commercial performances, variety shows, and business entertainment.

Xiao Qianxi checked the schedule and found that a performance was also scheduled for the 23rd, which happened to be the day He Xiaozhou returned to England.

She had originally planned to squeeze out some time to see He Xiaozhou off, but her schedule was packed that day, as if someone had done it on purpose.

"Mr. Chen, why is your schedule so packed today?"

"Is there a problem? Didn't you want to buy a house before? I'm doing this so that you can save money to buy a house sooner."

Chen Tianhe looked at Xiao Qianxi and said, "Of course, to be honest, if you want a house, it's actually very simple; President Qin can give it to you. But I also know that you want to buy your own house through your own efforts, so I arranged it this way. Is there a problem?"

Xiao Qianxi paused for a moment, then said, "No, there's no problem."

"Qianxi, sometimes you have to be flexible. Although President Qin has a girlfriend, her family is in trouble now, and it's uncertain whether they can stay together in the future. You could try to win her over; maybe you'll be Mrs. Qin someday. Some people and some things, you should just let them go."

Xiao Qianxi's expression darkened upon hearing Chen Tianhe's words. Although Zhao Shucheng was posing as a sugar daddy, in other people's eyes, she did indeed appear to be a woman being kept by Zhao Shucheng.

She originally thought that after she became famous, Chen Tianhe would no longer look down on her, but now it seems that he knows something.

Because Xiao Qianxi was staying in an apartment arranged by the company, where her assistant was also staying, she could only call He Xiaozhou to tell him that her schedule was very full that day and she couldn't take Xiao Qianxi there.

He Xiaozhou was also somewhat disappointed, after all, their relationship seemed to have become more and more distant since Xiao Qianxi became famous.

"Qianxi, it's okay. I know it's the company's arrangement. Besides, you're going to the airport and have to hide, and you might even cry. That would become entertainment news."

"Xiao Zhou, don't worry. This situation will change soon. I'm putting all the appearance fees I earn into an account, and when I've earned enough money, I'll buy a house."

As she spoke, Xiao Qianxi held up the bank card and said, "When you come back, we can live together and no longer have to sneak around to meet."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Wang Ying has been spending the last few days with Zhao Shucheng because her friends aren't answering their calls, and Xie Qiao and Xu Lin are also busy with their own things. They're either cooking at home or accompanying Zhao Shucheng to the company to inspect the situation.

"Qin Chuan, this is your first milk tea shop. I didn't expect it to be so popular."

"Business is indeed good, but the flavors of milk tea have changed a lot. The one you drank back then was the basic one, but now very few people drink it. Most people want the new flavors."

"I see it."

As they were talking, Wang Ying received a phone call from Yang Cheng, who was far away in England. During the call, Yang Cheng inquired about Wang Ying's family situation and offered words of concern, telling her not to worry.

Wang Ying didn't expect Yang Cheng to call her at this time. He was the only one among her old friends who she still kept in touch with, which gave her a great sense of comfort.

Yang Cheng actually wanted his father to help him find out about Wang Ying's uncle, but his mother was unwilling at all, and even begged Yang Cheng to sever ties with Wang Ying as soon as possible.

Upon hearing his mother's words, Yang Cheng realized the seriousness of the matter and was momentarily unsure whether he should tell Wang Ying.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng also knew how troublesome the Wang family was this time. It was not only because of the company of Wang Ying's uncle, but also because of the time when Zhao Shucheng asked his uncle to teach the Shanghai Bao Ye a lesson, so they were being retaliated against.

Zhao Shucheng looked at Wang Ying and said with some guilt, "Wang Ying, to be honest, I'm partly to blame for what happened to my uncle this time. I troubled them with my sister's matter before, and now they're retaliating."

Wang Ying was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you at a time like this? But don't worry, it's not all bad. When someone retaliates, their political enemies will naturally help them. Maybe it's even a good thing for you, Uncle." (End of Chapter)
