The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang and Xu Hongdou stayed in the hotel for two days. If it wasn't for the opening of the art exhibition, Wang Gang wouldn't even want to leave the hotel suite.

For this opening ceremony, the publicity company was relatively large, and many leaders of Shanghai were invited to participate. Wang Gang, as the absolute protagonist, couldn't be absent.

For this opening, Wang Gang specially put on a suit and ordered a gift for Xu Hongdou.

This is also the first public appearance of Wang Gang and Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou was a little nervous and didn't even want to go to the opening ceremony.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a celebrity, and not many reporters came to the opening ceremony." Wang Gang comforted Xu Hongdou.

"What, there are reporters coming for the opening ceremony." Xu Hongdou became more nervous, and retreated.

Wang Gang said cheerfully: "Why is Xu Hongdou, who is not afraid of anything, afraid of being interviewed by reporters?"

Xu Hongdou said nervously, "I haven't experienced it before!"

Wang Gang put his arms around Xu Hongdou's waist and said, "Don't be afraid, I have everything."

Xu Hongdou calmed down slowly. Wang Gang always had a magical power that could make people feel at ease.

The publicity company arranged a special car to pick up Wang Gang and Xu Hongdou at the hotel.

Xu Hongdou didn't realize Wang Gang's fame in the art circle until they came to the Shanghai Art Center.

At this time, a large number of reporters had gathered outside the art center.

Xu Hongdou had never experienced such a scene, and her heart began to panic again. Wang Gang took her hand and gave her the greatest encouragement.

After the two got out of the car, many reporters surrounded them and asked for interviews.

Wang Gang responded calmly and kept protecting Xu Hongdou.

When they sat in the lounge, Xu Hongdou was paralyzed from exhaustion.

"There are so many reporters gathered for the opening ceremony of an art exhibition, and those cameras almost hit my face. I really don't know how those celebrities came here?" Xu Hongdou stuck out her tongue.

"There are more leaders here today, so they will attract so many reporters. It's more lively today, just let the painting unfold." Wang Gang handed Xu Hongdou a glass of water.

"I won't go out for a while." Xu Hongdou took the water glass and said, "I want to rest here for a while."

"Okay, do you want to prepare some food for you?" Wang Gang asked.

"No need." Xu Hongdou said exhaustedly.

After the art exhibition started, Xu Hongdou hid in the lounge, while Wang Gang went out to socialize and was very busy.

Wang Gang's art exhibition was very successful this time, especially Xu Hongdou's painting, which attracted a large number of people to stop and watch, and the reporter even took it as the focus of publicity.

The exhibition will last for seven days. Except for the opening ceremony on the first day, which is closed to the public, the remaining six days are free to the public. Anyone can appreciate Wang Gang's paintings.

Wang Gang had to be present on the first day, and he didn't need to be present for the remaining six days.

After seven days of public exhibition, all paintings will be sent to auction, and part of the proceeds, excluding necessary expenses, will be donated to charity.

On the second day, Wang Gang and Xu Hongdou quietly walked into the hall in casual clothes, sunglasses and hats, hoping to know other people's comments on the painting.

This was suggested by Xu Hongdou, she found it very interesting, so Wang Gang accompanied her.

The two pretended to be tourists and followed the others. Xu Hongdou was very happy to hear everyone's praise of the painting.

As the finale, the "confession" is the work that everyone praises the most.

Xu Hongdou eavesdropped silently and enjoyed it.

But when she saw an old couple standing in front of the "confession", the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"Dad, Mom?!"

Xu Hongdou suddenly found her father and mother in the crowd.

Hearing the sound, Wang Gang followed Xu Hongdou's line of sight, and saw not only her parents, but also Xu Hongmi and her child, Xiaolingdang.

"Isn't that your sister?"

Xu Hongdou looked in the direction of Wang Gang's finger, and happened to meet Xu Hongmi's gaze.

Well, the family is finally reunited.

"Sister, why did you come to Shanghai?" Xu Hongdou dragged her sister to the corner and whispered.

"Can't we come?" Xu Hongmi proudly said, "Mom and Dad heard that the future son-in-law is going to hold an art exhibition in Shanghai, so they insist on coming over to see it."

Xu Hongdou had a headache and said, "You must be the one who encouraged your parents to come to Shanghai, otherwise how would they know that Wang Gang had an art exhibition."

"Auntie." Little Bell tugged on Xu Hongdou's skirt and said, "Uncle and grandpa are talking."

Xu Hongdou was startled, and found that Wang Gang had chatted with his parents, so he ran over quickly.

"Mom and Dad, where do you live in Shanghai?" Xu Hongdou took Wang Gang's arm and signaled with his eyes not to talk nonsense.

"Your mother and I live in a hotel. Hotels in Shanghai are extremely expensive, and a standard room is hundreds of dollars larger." Father Xu complained.

Xu's mother smiled and said, "Xiao Wang! You are really capable. You are so young, and you are so good at drawing. I almost couldn't recognize my daughter when you painted our red beans."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Hongdou is so beautiful, so she inherited her aunt's beauty."

The praise made Xu's mother very happy, and she became more and more satisfied with Wang Gang, the future son-in-law.

"Hongdou, which hotel are you staying at? We have time to have lunch together at noon." Xu's father coughed and reminded his wife to restrain herself.

"Let me treat my uncle and aunt to dinner at noon! I know a delicious private restaurant." Wang Gang said enthusiastically.

"Will it be too expensive?" Father Xu asked politely.

Wang Gang said that it was his honor to invite his girlfriend's family to dinner.

The private kitchen was quite far from the Art Center, so they took two taxis to go there. Xu's mother hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so she had to take her in the same car.

Father Xu and Wang Gang were in the car alone.

In the car, Father Xu and Wang Gang chatted one after another. Wang Gang had never seen any big scenes, but he handled it decently, satisfying Father Xu.

After arriving at the private restaurant, Xu Hongdou pulled Wang Gang nervously and asked in a low voice, "My dad didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"Uncle is very kind." Wang Gang said with a smile: "We also made an appointment to play in Shanghai together."

"You agreed?" Xu Hongdou asked in surprise.

"Can I refuse?" Wang Gang asked back.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes, she felt that this trip to the magic capital was not very enjoyable.

To Xu Hongdou's surprise, during lunch, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, and his parents were also very kind to Wang Gang, and nothing happened until the meal was over.

At first Xu Hongdou thought that his parents would stare at Wang Gang to find out the details, but they didn't say a word, they mostly talked about painting and traveling.

Xu Hongdou was a little skeptical. They came to Shanghai on purpose to see the art exhibition.

Seeing that his parents were going back to the hotel to rest after dinner, Xu Hongdou took Xu Hongmi aside to ask questions by taking the opportunity to go to the bathroom.

"Tell me honestly, what are parents doing in Shanghai?"

Xu Hongmi calmly fixed her makeup in the mirror, and said with a smile, "What else can I do, go to the art exhibition!"

Xu Hongdou narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Didn't they come to investigate Wang Gang under the pretext of seeing the art exhibition?"

Xu Hongmi said with a chuckle: "Isn't the inspection that should have been done long ago?"

"What do you mean?"

Xu Hongmi put away her lipstick, stared at her sister, and said, "What do you think your parents' investigation is, arresting your boyfriend for interrogation, forcing him to drink, and telling the truth after drinking?"

Xu Hongdou nodded and said, "Isn't that what I see on TV?"

Xu Hongmi rolled her eyes and said, "You've watched too many TV shows! It's very simple to check with your parents. It just depends on how well he treats you. If you are happy or not, happiness is over!"

Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

It turned out that Xu's father and Xu's mother knew the moment they saw their daughter, and now that her daughter is happy, that's enough.

As for who Wang Gang is, whether he has money or not is secondary.

Real parents care about their children, not for her to marry well, but for her to be happy.

It was precisely because of Wang Gang's understanding that Xu's father and Xu's mother were really good parents. He respected them more, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was so harmonious.

After Xu Hongdou was woken up by her sister, she was very grateful to her parents for their enlightenment and understood their concern for her.

In the next few days, Xu Hongdou acted as a tour guide and accompanied her parents to play in Shanghai. Later, she even went to Suzhou next door to make up for the regret that she was not with her parents all these years.

The whole family played happily for a month, Xu's father and Xu's mother became more and more satisfied with Wang Gang, and they were tired of playing, so they decided to go back to their hometown.

Before parting, Xu's mother took her daughter's hand and said: "Hong Doudou, I can see that Xiao Wang treats you very well, and you are very happy together, but there are still some things that need to be taken care of."

"Mom, I don't plan to get married anytime soon." Xu Hongdou shook her head.

"Your father and I are not urging the marriage." Xu's mother said: "You are old enough to be your own master. We don't urge you, but you should have plans in your heart."

Xu's father interrupted: "Also, when do you plan to play until you really don't plan to go back to work, although Xiao Wang has money, but you are still young, you can't squander your life like this."

Xu Hongdou lowered his head thoughtfully, and said perfunctorily, "Mom and Dad, we know that well."
