The sweetest in the entertainment industry

"Speaking of which, this has something to do with you too. If you're curious, why don't you go to Yuanyuan's house? Getting up early in the morning to peeking through the lake with binoculars out the window is just ridiculous! Look at you sticking your butt out like that, so sleazy!"

"Mom, you don't understand!"

The two of them are already surrounded by rumors right now. If they are forced to appear together, their classmates will have new sweet moments to enjoy when they get home.

Sometimes I really don't understand what these people are thinking.

He spends his days doing nothing productive, indulging in budding romance and fooling around, and thinks that all young people in the world don't care about their studies.

"What's there not to understand? It's just a sensitive young boy's heart. Hey? Tell me, what happened between you two again? Did you have a fight? Why? In previous years, Yuanyuan would take you with her to winter and summer camps, why did she leave you out this year?"

It's unclear what words stung him, but Zhou Weizhen, unable to contain himself any longer, yelled downstairs, "Boss Zhou! Can you get your wife out of here?!"

Mr. Zhou was eating breakfast when he was called by his son. He came upstairs with half a fried dough stick in his mouth, giving his son a disgruntled shove:
"You get a holiday, but your dad still has to go to the company. He's always causing trouble! Besides, what's wrong with your mom saying a few words to you? What's wrong with listening to her? If you upset her, she won't hit you, so she'll take it out on me. I'm constantly getting into trouble for no reason!"

"So what if I take it out on you? My son is so outstanding, why would I beat him for no reason?"

After saying that, Zhou's mother's hand had already skillfully landed on Zhou's father's ear. She didn't twist it, but leaned over, tilted her head, looked at him, and then gently tugged at his earlobe.

Mr. Zhou grinned and planted a kiss on her cheek, which angered Mrs. Zhou so much that she slapped him on the back: "Get lost! Your mouth is all greasy!"

Annoyed by his parents' constant clinginess, Zhou Weizhen simply kicked them out.
"Come on, come on! You two come together! Aren't you usually so busy? Why are you so free lately? Aren't you tired of watching me all day long?"

The couple looked at each other but didn't say anything.

Zhou Weizhen was only half a year older than Lu Qingyan. The two grew up together. Although Lu Qingyan was young, he was very organized and always knew what he wanted. He was able to arrange his studies and life in an orderly manner from a young age.

Not only that, she also treated Zhou Weizhen like her own. She not only kept an eye on his clothes, meals, and homework, but also arranged tutoring classes for him, took him on study tours and summer camps. Sometimes when they were too busy to pay attention, they would turn around and find that their son had not only not taken the opportunity to go astray, but had become even more outstanding under Lu Qingyan's management.

That kind of excellence is not just about good academic performance, but about all-round development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education.

God knows how shocked they were when they woke up one day to find their son making pancakes in the kitchen!
Although their son took all the best pieces and carried them across the lake, leaving them only with broken or burnt ones, they were still very pleased.

The most outrageous time was when they found out that their son had been attending tutoring classes for more than half a month.

The private one-on-one tutoring session was arranged by Gu Lanxi, who also paid for the tuition. Afterwards, she never mentioned it to Gu Lanxi.

To be honest, the Lu family has a good family tradition, Gu Lanxi and her husband are easy to get along with, and Lu Qingyan is an excellent catch. They both hope that their son can get married to her.

But matters of the heart are unpredictable; a family like theirs wouldn't disregard their child's wishes for the sake of business.

So when he saw that his son was in a bad mood, Mr. Zhou didn't say much. He just sighed helplessly and comforted him, "Okay, son, it's okay to cry! I was young once too, I understand you!"

Zhou Weizhen frowned instantly and said irritably, "Lu Yuan'er isn't here, who am I supposed to cry to? You two go together! Go do what you're supposed to do!"

Mrs. Zhou's eyes widened, both annoyed and amused. It took her a while to calm down before she patted her husband's arm:

"Tsk, let's go, honey. Your son inherited your shameless green tea b*tch; he'll succeed at anything."

As the family was talking, a car started to drive in from the opposite lane.

Mr. Zhou was astonished: "Look at Yuanyuan, with such swift and decisive actions. It's only 8:30, and the first wave of people apologizing have already arrived."

Zhou Weizhen pursed his lips, ignoring the two of them, and immediately adjusted his binoculars, looking through the car window. Seeing who it was, he gritted his teeth. It was all because of these damned bastards, gossiping at school all day long. Lu Yuan'er was too sensitive to listen to such things, which was why she got angry with him!

For a long time before, I even ignored him because of this!

He has to remember all these people; he'll have to teach them a lesson later!
Seeing that he was angry, the couple exchanged a glance, and Zhou's mother tentatively asked:

“Your Uncle Lu, Aunt Gu, and Sister Tuantuan are all home today. Shall the three of us go over and join in the fun? To be honest, this isn’t just Yuanyuan’s problem. Just because you’re a boy doesn’t mean it’s okay to be the subject of rumors.”

"Yes, if our family doesn't show up, people will start spreading rumors again, saying that our family has impure motives and that we have improper thoughts about Xiaoyuan."

For some unknown reason, Zhou Weizhen jumped up and said, "This is my business! Aren't you two annoying? Get out of here!"

Mrs. Zhou raised an eyebrow: "Where are you going? If these families had any sense, they would have come to our house to apologize after leaving the Lu family. Get up right now, change your clothes, and go downstairs to prepare to receive our guests!"

"Honey, I really have to go to the company..."

"They can't function without you for even a day? Do you think those high-level executives get their salaries so easily?"

"Not really..."

"Hurry up and get ready! I'll go to the kitchen and prepare some fruit platters."

Mrs. Zhou rushed downstairs, while Mr. Zhou plopped down on the windowsill and continued eating his fried dough sticks, seemingly not nervous at all.

While eating, he earnestly advised his precious son: "Son, let me tell you, when you're pursuing someone, you have to do it yourself. You can't just let outsiders spread rumors and bring you two together. Besides, rumors are wrong in themselves. No matter what, relationships are a matter between two people. You have to be firm in your attitude, just like Yuanyuan..."

Zhou Weizhen was annoyed and frowned at him: "Dad, we are still young and it is the time for us to work hard. It is wrong to fall in love too early. Besides, Yuanyuan and I are just friends. I hope you will not think like those people and ruin our friendship. You must remember that we are about to take the entrance exam. This year is very important for us."

Mr. Zhou had nothing to say and quickly slipped away.

Over the next two days, the Lu family received a steady stream of guests, all of whom were parents bringing their children to apologize. After visiting the Lu family, these people would come to the Zhou family for a visit. Zhou Weizhen simply looked across the lake through binoculars from upstairs and completely ignored them.

Ever since Lu Qingyan threw a tantrum and went skiing alone, she blocked him and never spoke to him again. She wanted to ask mutual friends to mediate, but one by one she went, he was blocked. After that, no one was willing to help him anymore.

School hadn't started yet, and Lu Qingyan didn't like going out. It wasn't until now that he realized that as long as Lu Qingyan didn't want to, even if her house was right in front of him, he still couldn't see her.

Because of the special professions of Lu Nanting and his wife, their home has the strongest security force in the entire community.

These people wouldn't make things difficult for him, but a few polite words of advice were enough to make him blush with embarrassment.

Unlike her sister, Lu Qingyan had a dream of becoming a star since she was a child. As soon as she became aware of things, she began to focus on managing her life as a top female celebrity. She was very low-key, used random accounts on social media, never added people, never shared private photos, and rarely even posted on her WeChat Moments. He couldn't even find out what Lu Qingyan was up to.

These days are extremely difficult to endure.

Fortunately, he could write letters, tie them to small stones, and throw them into the Lu family's courtyard. If the security guards found them, they wouldn't just dispose of them; instead, they would show them to Lu Qingyan.

Unfortunately, I didn't receive a single reply after reading it.

Occasionally, he would see Lu Qingyan with the window open, leaning on the windowsill to enjoy the breeze, but as soon as he saw Lu Qingyan appear by the window, he would immediately close the window and leave.

The winter vacation when Zhou Weizhen was fourteen was the hardest he could ever endure, because Lu Qingyan broke off all contact with him and completely disappeared from his life. (End of Chapter)
