Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Oh! It's always the boss giving benefits to the employees. I've never heard of an employee rushing to buy fruit for the boss. Oranges, they don't look cheap at all. She's just a small employee. How much can she earn? Why is she spending like this?"

Gu Jia said a few words and walked out of the company with suspicion. Because of what happened just now, she did not go home directly, but went to the supermarket near the company to see if there were oranges of the brand just now.

Finally, after visiting two or three stores, she saw the same oranges in a high-end fresh fruit supermarket. However, the price of the oranges made her even more certain that there was something wrong with Li Ke, because one orange cost twenty-five yuan.

Li Ke only earns 6,000 yuan a month. As a girl from another place, she has little money left in Shanghai after paying rent and food expenses. Yet, she can still buy such expensive oranges.

Thinking of this, Gu Jia bought many boxes of oranges from the merchant and decided to use them as welfare for the company's employees, and to teach Li Ke a lesson at the same time.

She is still very confident in her husband Xu Huanshan, because Xu Huanshan has never had such a flamboyant heart, so she thinks that as long as Li Ke doesn't pester Xu Huanshan, it will be fine.

Chapter 128 The aggrieved Zhu Suosuo

At 11:30 am, at the Luo family’s house on the second floor of an old alley on Nanjing Road in Shanghai.

“Suosuo…”

Zhu Suosuo's uncle Luo Youfu stood in front of her room door, hesitating to say something but not knowing how to start.

Zhu Suosuo looked back at her uncle and responded while fixing her hair:

"Uncle, what's wrong? Why are you so hesitant? Is it because Jiaming hasn't come out to eat yet?"

"Yeah! Suosuo, just think of it as helping your uncle, okay? After Jiaming knew you made friends, he hasn't had a good meal these past few days.

Look, ever since you came back yesterday and talked to him, he hasn’t eaten anymore. He’s going to starve himself to death. Your aunt is almost going crazy!"

After saying that, Luo Youfu looked at his niece helplessly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo frowned. She knew why Luo Jiaming didn't eat, but she really didn't want to say it, otherwise this matter would never end.

So she told herself that she must not open this door, so she replied with a stiff upper lip:

"Uncle, you and aunt have both said it's useless, what good can I say?"

Luo Youfu looked at her and said in embarrassment: "Suosuo, just go and persuade Jiaming!

You know, he does this entirely for you. You are the person he loves most, so he will definitely listen to you!"

"Uncle, just because of this, I won't go!"

Zhu Suosuo turned around helplessly and said seriously: "Tell me, what do you want me to say to him? About me..."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Before Zhu Suosuo finished speaking, her aunt interrupted her refusal, hurried over to look at her, and continued:

"Just lie to him and tell him that you like Jiaming and that you and Mr. Han are just ordinary friends.

Suosuo, no matter what, you have to let him eat something first, otherwise his body will be damaged!"

"Auntie!"

Zhu Suosuo shouted, then put down the comb in her hand, and said helplessly and aggrievedly:

"How could I lie to him? I've already confirmed my relationship with Brother Han. I like Brother Han, not Jiaming!

You said I should lie to him? But have you ever thought about this: I can lie to him once or twice, but I can't lie to him forever!

Do you think I'm right? I can deceive him for a while, but I can't deceive him forever. It would be a good thing for both him and me if he recognizes the truth sooner."

After that, without waiting for her uncle and aunt to refute, she continued:

"Aunt, it's time for Jiaming to grow up. He can't always be so willful. If you harden your heart, he will understand reason.

Moreover, for a grown man to rely on hunger strike to keep a girl, he has even got the basic direction wrong!

There are many girls in this world who are better and prettier than me. I believe Jiaming will find her own happiness! "

"Zhu Suosuo, you have such a cruel heart! Now I know that you are just like your mother, without any human feelings. I have raised an ungrateful person for so many years!"

Zhu Suosuo's aunt felt sorry for her son and felt sorry for the fact that he had to ruin himself for someone who didn't love him, so she thought Zhu Suosuo's words were too cruel, and she was so angry that she didn't care about her feelings.

Luo Youfu, who was standing by, saw that his wife was becoming unreasonable again and was talking too much. He felt helpless and pulled her aside and said:

"What are you saying? We're all family, how can you say these things? Suosuo grew up at home, you're the elder..."

"Uncle, auntie, I need to change my clothes. Excuse me!"

Zhu Suosuo was afraid that her uncle would be embarrassed, so she interrupted Luo Youfu before he finished speaking, then stood up and closed the door.

“Suosuo…”

Luo Youfu shouted. He knew he couldn't do anything to his wife. He turned around and pulled twice but failed. He shook his head and went back to the room.

Zhu Suosuo's aunt, looking at Luo Youfu who had taken refuge in the room and the door that was closed in front of her, was very angry and cursed:

"Zhu Suosuo, you have lost all your conscience by treating Jiaming like this. You are just watching someone die without helping him, do you know that?

To be honest, I never thought of letting Jiaming marry you. Because you are not someone who can live a good life, your heart is too wild.

But he is not ambitious enough. I have no choice but to marry you. He doesn't know that he will suffer if he marries you.

I tell you, you will get your comeuppance sooner or later for treating someone who loves you so wholeheartedly like this!"

"Woo~~!"

Zhu Suosuo sat on a chair, listening to her aunt's words outside the door, tears streaming down her face unconsciously, endless sadness and grievances flooding her heart.

Hearing his mother yelling and scolding Zhu Suosuo, Luo Jiaming opened the door and said:

"Mom, stop talking about Xiaosuo. I'm hungry and want to eat the crab meat dumplings that Suosuo brought back yesterday!"

"Oh, son, you're out! The crab meat dumplings are in the pot. Mommy will get them for you right away. You should have eaten a long time ago, or your body won't be able to handle it!"

Seeing her son coming out, Zhu Suosuo's aunt didn't care about anything else, and of course, she didn't bother Zhu Suosuo anymore, and hurried to the kitchen.

Luo Jiaming, listening to his mother's nagging, sat down at the dining table in the living room with his head down, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

"Here it comes, it's a little hot, mom will blow it for you, be careful, son!"

After a while, Luo Jiaming's mother brought a plate of dumplings to the table. While handing him chopsticks, she reminded him not to get burned.

"Give!"

After changing her clothes, Zhu Suosuo listened to the voices outside the door. Considering her situation, she opened the door with a tissue and handed it to Luo Jiaming.

Luo Jiaming didn't answer, but picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely:

"Actually, you misunderstood me. I never thought about marrying Xiaosuo. I know I'm not worthy of her and can't give her the life she wants. Mr. Han is a good person. I wish you all the best!"

"Thank you Jiaming, you will definitely find a girl better than me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Suosuo thanked him. She knew that Luo Jiaming was trying to help her out.

But I must not be soft-hearted, so I had no choice but to stuff the tissue into his hand and go back to the room.

When Luo Jiaming saw her go back, he stopped talking and just ate the crab meat dumplings with big mouthfuls. Seeing this, his aunt stopped him anxiously:

"Son, go slowly, it will be hot! Don't worry, mom will help you wipe it off!"

"Pah!" Luo Jiaming stuffed the last bun into his mouth, threw down his chopsticks and went back to the house.

"Jiaming, drink some water. Are you full? Jiaming..."

Zhu Suosuo's aunt picked up a cup of water and chased to the door. Seeing that her son had already closed the door, she could only pace around helplessly, wiping away tears with heartache.

Time passed, and just when Zhu Suosuo was hiding in the house and crying secretly, her phone rang.

I looked at the caller ID and saw it was my best friend Jiang Nansun, so I answered, "Hello, Nansun, what's going on?"

"Okay, let's have lunch together!"

"No need to bother, I'll go straight over!"

"Okay, see you later!"

When Zhu Suosuo heard that her best friend asked her to go out with her in the afternoon, she immediately agreed.

Then she picked up her bag, opened the door and said, "Uncle, aunt, Nansun asked me to come back for something, so I won't be back for lunch or dinner.

If it's too late, I'll stay at Nansun's place. You don't have to wait for me. Eat and go to bed early!"

"Suosuo, be careful when you are alone!" From the bedroom of Zhu Suosuo's uncle and aunt, her uncle Luo Youfu's concerned voice could be heard.

"I know, uncle. I'm going to Nansun's place, don't worry!"

Zhu Suosuo forced a smile and shouted towards their room, then walked downstairs to the alley.

He ran to the intersection in one breath, took out his phone, and sent a message to Han Tao: "Brother Han, are you busy today?"

"It's okay. The company has a copyright infringement case that needs to be dealt with recently, and we just finished a meeting. What's up, Suosuo? What are your plans for today? I'll ask the driver to take you there!"

Han Tao had just met with the other party's lawyer and sent away Fan Jingang who came to understand the situation, so he replied to the message quickly.

Seeing that he replied to her message so quickly, Zhu Suosuo was delighted and said happily:

"No need, Brother Han, my problems are just small matters, how can they distract you?

Your work is important, don't worry about me, I just miss you and want to chat with you for a while!"

"I miss Suosuo too, but I might be busy until very late today. If you're bored alone, ask Nansun out for some shopping and dinner. If it's possible earlier, I'll come find you."

Seeing that Han Tao was so busy and still cared about her, Zhu Suosuo's grievances immediately disappeared. The corners of her mouth turned up sweetly, and she quickly typed back:

"I see, Brother Han, if you have something to do, just go and take care of it. There's no need to come all the way here. I can take care of myself!

But you should not work overtime too late. You should make sure to rest. Staying up late all the time will cause great harm to your body.

Okay, I won't disturb you from working. Nansun just asked me to go out for dinner and shopping. Give me a call when you're done!"

"Okay, have fun, and don't be reluctant to go shopping. If you don't have enough money, I'll transfer more to you!"

"No need to transfer, Brother Han, more than half of the last one is still useless!"

After replying the message, Zhu Suosuo thought for a moment, sent another kiss emoticon, then put away her phone, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, gave a few instructions, and the car went directly to Magic City University.

Chapter 129 The Fuse of the Marriage Crisis

In the afternoon, Zhong Xiaoqin, who was restless at work, hesitated for a long time and finally took a leave to meet Gu Jia. She really wanted to hear her best friend's opinion and wanted to know what the biggest price would be if she gave birth to the child.

Gu Jia looked at the children laughing and playing not far from the Bund bench and told her the real side of childbirth.

She also said that Gu Jia had died the moment she gave birth to her son, and the only one left was Xu Ziyan's mother. She said that a woman with a child would feel suffocated by the title of mother, and would be weaker than ever, but also the strongest.

After listening to Gu Jia's words, Zhong Xiaoqin decided to give birth to the child because she had always wanted a child of her own. She was only on duty because of Chen Yu's idea.

But now that the child is here, she can't give up on him because she can't bear to.

After talking with Zhong Xiaoqin for a long time, Gu Jia also figured out some things, so after the two separated, for the sake of her son, Gu Jia called Xu Huanshan and asked him how to use the astronomical telescope at home.

After returning home, she fiddled with her own telescope. When she was almost familiar with it, she went upstairs to find Mrs. Wang and taught her how to use the telescope.

Mrs. Wang said very seriously that she wanted to buy an asteroid and asked Gu Jia if she knew where to buy it.

Gu Jia was dumbfounded when she heard this. Mrs. Wang actually thought that money could buy everything, but she still said that she could obtain the naming rights of the asteroid.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang suggested naming the asteroid after her son, as she had plenty of money.

After hearing this, Gu Jia suddenly didn't want to ask Mrs. Wang for help anymore. She was just a nouveau riche, and she was really ashamed to please him.

It was also pointed out that the painting hanging in Mrs. Wang's restaurant was Monet's Water Lilies and Van Gogh's Sunflowers, which were not something that could be bought with money.

Just as Gu Jia was about to leave, Mrs. Wang said dejectedly that she didn't like studying the telescope, but just wanted to have something to say to her son.

However, her son despised her and said the same things as Gu Jia. Mrs. Wang also mentioned the day when Gu Jia walked barefoot for her son. She once thought they were the same kind of people, but now it seems that Gu Jia is not as receptive as she is.

At the same time, Zhong Xiaoqin had just returned home when her mother came in. After entering the house, she started nagging while cleaning the house.

After the cleanup was almost done, I started washing vegetables and cooking dinner. I was busy for two or three hours and finally helped Zhong Xiaoqin to keep the house clean and the meals tidy.

When Chen Yu came back from get off work and saw the dining table, he knew that it must be his mother-in-law coming over again.

So she complained to Zhong Xiaoqin, hoping that her mother-in-law would not come over to cook and tidy the house for no reason next time. She also accused Zhong Xiaoqin of being already thirty years old and still having her parents take care of her.

Chen Yu was very angry about Zhong Xiaoqin's pregnancy, so he spoke very harshly. This caused Zhong Xiaoqin to release her inner depression and she started quarreling with him.

Although she and Chen Yu had agreed to have children five years after marriage when they got married, the accident had already happened. Not only did he not show any concern or comfort, she was extremely disappointed with Chen Yu's attitude, which was devoid of any warmth and even filled with criticism.

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoqin was really angry this time, Chen Yu quickly took out the lucky cat he bought as a gift on his business trip, hoping to use it to coax Zhong Xiaoqin.
