The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 52 A Sunny Afternoon

On a sunny afternoon, everyone has their own worries.

When Zhang Ruolan received a call from Mrs. Guo, who was crying uncontrollably and inviting her to afternoon tea, she assumed that the Guo family had another illegitimate child.

Since the two families have business dealings, the marital relationship of a business partner can have a certain impact on their own families, so Zhang Ruolan naturally wanted to go and see what was going on.

Upon arrival, there was nothing new to see, just the familiar complaints.

It's a common refrain that her son is a good-for-nothing who spends all his time dating internet celebrities.

They spent a lot of money and ruined their reputation.

"Tell me, what was this child thinking? She has the nerve to abandon her proper upbringing and demean herself like this!"

Mrs. Lu wanted to say that he hadn't degraded himself; he was living quite a carefree life.

Besides, all his girlfriends are pleasing to the eye and very capable, so how could he be wronged?
But if you don't see eye to eye, even a word is too much; saying such things is sure to rub salt in someone's wounds.

She could only offer the same old comforting words:
“Rui Rui is still young. When he gets older, he will naturally become more mature. Boys are mostly interested in new things. If he has had enough of dating now, he will naturally lose his curiosity later.”

Mrs. Guo picked up a handkerchief, delicately wiped her eyes, and pitifully pursed her lips:
"I'm so unlucky. Back then, so many young masters from wealthy families rejected me, but I had to fall for this womanizing scoundrel from the Guo family. Waaah... What's the use of being handsome?"

Lu Tai calmly brewed some tea, first offering one cup to the other person, then picking up another cup and drinking it while it was still hot.

It's certainly wrong for a man to be unfaithful, but if all he does is complain and doesn't know how to take measures to protect his own interests, and the mother is so confused, how can the son be expected to be shrewd?
A bunch of half-brothers with equal inheritance rights fawn over their biological father, working hard and striving for success, while the legitimate sons of the legal wife linger among women and constantly oppose their parents, as if they can't find a sense of existence otherwise.

How old are you?

Still so childish.

Whether it's secretly messing with the illegitimate child or working hard to make a name for yourself and let your scumbag father see your excellence so that he will designate you as the next heir, isn't that better than throwing a tantrum?

Can you really expect pure fatherly love from a father who's such a scumbag?

Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the two families had a lot of business dealings, she really wouldn't want to hear about this nonsense.

Besides, who says it's useless for a man to be handsome?

Every day when she wakes up, she glances at the handsome old man beside her and thinks about how she could live like this for decades to come, and she can't be happier.

Given the opportunity, if you can't find a handsome guy, are you going to find an ugly one instead?

Ugly people will still cheat if they want to.

Guo Tai, unaware of her thoughts, cried for a long time before suddenly looking up:

Do you think he might end up like his father?

Become the kind of person she hates the most.

Many families in the circle have illegitimate children, but the Guo family has the most.

While Mr. Guo's philandering is certainly wrong, Mrs. Guo's soft-hearted nature is also the most important reason.

She spends all her time in tears. She's a perfectly normal person, but she always looks miserable. She's always been a soft-hearted person, but now that she's had enough tears, she's living like a lump of paste.

Zhang Ruolan pondered for a while: "As long as he doesn't get married, it's not a big deal. On the contrary, under the current marriage law, he can take advantage of his resources."

Men and women are different.

No matter how hard a woman tries, the child still has to stay in her womb for a certain number of days before it can be born.

But he's different. As long as his girlfriends don't object, he can have dozens of children at the same time without breaking the law.

Anyway, it's not like the Guo family can't afford to support them.

If your big account is useless, seize the time and decisively create a new one. Isn't that basic operation?

Even if we have to pick the best among the worst, as long as the pool is large enough, there will always be someone who succeeds.

If it were her, she would definitely do the same. She wouldn't even be afraid that her son wouldn't cooperate.

If his allowance stops, forget about spending money on those incredibly shrewd internet celebrities; given his spendthrift nature, he might even have to ask his friends for help with his living expenses.

Even if you try to pursue a pure love relationship with a girl in college, it might not work.

After all, even this old lady thought he was greasy.

If she does this, she only needs to lie low for about twenty years, and by then, she, as a grandmother, won't even be old enough to retire!
For the sake of the family fortune, these younger ones will all vie to show off.

As long as she, the person in charge, doesn't die, they won't completely break ties for the sake of their family fortune.

If one were to be even more cunning, revising the will annually would intensify the competition among them...

Tsk.

She will have a large group of adorable grandchildren at a young age.

If arranged properly, these are all her fierce generals in expanding her territory.

Compared to her career, a scumbag is nothing! Does he deserve her crying for him all day long?

Even if men are having affairs outside, wouldn't you go find younger, more attractive men?

Anyway, it's a business marriage, so how can we get a divorce?
Guo himself has a bunch of illegitimate children, so there's no reason for him to look down on his grandson for not being born to his legitimate daughter-in-law.

If handled properly, it could even kill the old man prematurely, allowing you to happily inherit a large sum of money...

Mrs. Guo burst into tears again, strongly disagreeing with her words: "A man needs to settle down and start a family to be stable. How can he not get married?"

Zhang Ruolan knew her personality well, and was somewhat speechless upon hearing this.

Before she could reply, Mrs. Guo looked at her expectantly and said, "Your daughters-in-law are all so nice. Do they have any sisters in their families? And what about your third son's daughter? When are you going to bring her out to meet us? Does she have any close friends? Who are they from? Are there any other unmarried sisters in her family? They don't have to be too far apart in age, but they can't be from ordinary families and only want to climb the social ladder."

Good guy!
After crying for so long, it turns out his real intention wasn't what he was drinking?

Zhang Ruolan's face turned green after hearing this.

What does it mean to be "a woman from an ordinary family who only wants to climb the social ladder"?
After having afternoon tea, I feel like I don't even need to eat dinner.

I'm totally full of anger!

Forget about acting as a matchmaker for Guo Zerui; if she even utters a single word about it in front of her three daughters-in-law, she's completely out of her mind!

Furious, Zhang Ruolan forced herself to stay home and immediately called her youngest son.

"You absolutely mustn't follow Guo Zerui's example! Or I'll break your legs!"

Lu Nanting had been feeling down for most of the day when she received a call from her mother. She learned that Guo's mother had indeed come to her to complain again, and she was immediately overwhelmed!

"I'm really not that kind of person! My family doesn't have any of those dirty secrets! Why would I be so foolish as to give up a perfectly good life and seek out this kind of thrill?"

After saying that, she said, feeling extremely aggrieved, "Mom, I'm so irritable right now, can we not talk about this today?"

Seriously, I'm sick of hearing it!
Mrs. Lu has always been a trendsetter, and she probably spends more time online than her daughter-in-law, Gu Lanxi.

Especially since her son entered the entertainment industry, she pays extra attention to its developments.

Knowing he was upset about what happened that morning, I comforted him, "It's nothing. I've heard that song before, it's quite catchy. I have to say, Fan Tiantian is quite talented. We should consider giving her a raise this year."

Lu Nanting only realized today, after receiving a call, that his mother had been sending various gifts to the studio in his name. He thanked his mother, chatted with Gu Lanxi for a few more minutes, and then hung up.

Although they were in different places, they all sighed at the same time.

What kind of things are happening every single day!
