First spoiled, then love

Chapter 496 Life Still Needs a Sense of Ritual (11000)

"How good is he?" Tang Xiaoru couldn't help but feel curious.

Chen Qingrong recalled, "I don't really remember much about him. I just remember that when I was in college, Teacher Fan was very kind to each of us students. He would take the initiative to help those from poor families apply for subsidies, and he really helped the poor students get them."

"That's amazing." Tang Xiaoru smiled and asked, "Did you apply for poverty assistance when you were in college?"

After saying this, she might think that this sounded a bit strange, so Tang Xiaoru added, "Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike your family for being poor, I just think that your place is in the mountainous area after all, and don't students in mountainous areas generally apply for poverty subsidies?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "I didn't misunderstand. I know you don't dislike our family. If you disliked our family, you wouldn't have dated me in the first place. Frankly speaking, I didn't apply for political and poverty subsidies, and I didn't even think about applying for them."

"Why? That's a lot of money."

"There's no need to apply. Besides, my parents wouldn't let me apply. They thought that since they could support me to go to college, they could certainly support me to finish college. And I received several scholarships when I was in college, so it didn't cost my parents much money at all."

"Have you ever received a scholarship?"

"What's with that look and tone? Is it weird that I got a scholarship?" Chen Qingrong rolled her eyes. "Your husband had very good grades when he was in school. I even participated in competitions. One of the scholarships I got was from a competition."

Tang Xiaoru joked, "What kind of competition? A shameless competition?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah, okay?"

Chen Qingrong was speechless.

After getting in the car, Tang Xiaoru drove him home.

When they arrived at the express delivery station near the community, Tang Xiaoru asked Chen Qingrong to pick up the express delivery for her.

When Chen Qingrong received the express, he found it was a square box. There was no specific item written on it, only the contact information of the recipient, Tang Xiaoru, and not even the sender's address and name.

And the express delivery is heavy.

After taking the express back to the car, Chen Qingrong started asking questions.

Facing Chen Qingrong's question, Tang Xiaoru just smiled mysteriously and kept it a secret, "This is the birthday present I bought for my mother."

"My mom's birthday present?" Chen Qingrong shook the box curiously. "So what's inside?"

"It's a gift for our mother, not for you. Why are you so curious?" Tang Xiaoru complained while stepping on the accelerator.

Chen Qingrong chuckled, "I'm mainly curious, and no one knows a mother better than her son. Tell me what the gift is first, so I can help you decide whether my mother will like it."

"No need for your advice. I am confident that she will like the gift I give her."

"..."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, Chen Qingrong was at a loss as to what to do with her.

After arriving home, Chen Qingrong rushed into the bedroom carrying the express box before Tang Xiaoru was ready.

"Hey, Chen Qingrong, give me the express!" Tang Xiaoru hurriedly chased after him.

Unexpectedly, with a bang, Chen Qingrong closed the bedroom door.

popping.

Tang Xiaoru knocked on the door vigorously, "Open the door for me, Chen Qingrong! I'm telling you, don't peek at my express delivery. If you dare to look, I will..."

"Hey?" Chen Qingrong suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "How did you think of buying this thing for my mother? You are quite creative!"

"How dare you look at it?" Tang Xiaoru was really furious, and said angrily, "Do you know how much time I spent to buy a suitable calendar for Mom? This was supposed to be a surprise for Mom, but you, a bastard, insisted on opening it in advance. Ahhh, now the surprise is gone!"

Squeak.

Chen Qingrong opened the door. "What calendar?"

"Ok?"

Tang Xiaoru was stunned, pushed him away and walked into the bedroom, and found that her express box was placed on the computer desk and had not been opened at all.

Tang Xiaoru realized that she had been fooled. She turned around angrily and grabbed Chen Qingrong's neck, saying angrily, "Chen Qingrong, you dare to lie to me? Tell me, how should I punish you!"

Chen Qingrong laughed dryly, picked her up and held her high, coaxing her, "Little ancestor, you can punish me however you want later, but first you have to tell me what the calendar is. You were buying a birthday present for my mother, how come you thought of buying a calendar?"

"Put me down first."

"Ah good."

He put Tang Xiaoru on the ground.

Tang Xiaoru then pushed him away and snorted, "I'll tell you if I want to. Humph, you've already tricked me into revealing it. What I bought for Mom was indeed a calendar, but it wasn't an ordinary calendar."

As she spoke, she picked up a utility knife from the computer desk and cut open the express box.

As for why there is a utility knife on her computer desk, it is actually normal. After all, Tang Xiaoru often takes express deliveries to the bedroom to open them, so she naturally has to keep a utility knife here. Otherwise, where do you think the thick stack of cardboard under the computer desk came from?

After opening the express box, Tang Xiaoru carefully took out an exquisite gift box from it.

There were locks on both sides of the gift box. She gently pressed the locks with both hands, pressed and pushed, and with a click, the box opened.

Chen Qingrong leaned over to take a look and found that there was indeed a somewhat old calendar inside.

Tang Xiaoru took out the calendar and introduced it to Chen Qingrong, "This is an old calendar printed in 1972, the year our mother was born, so it looks a bit old. If you turn to June th, it is our mother's birthday. Did you see it? It says here that that day is a very auspicious day."

Chen Qingrong was surprised. "This is an antique. Where did you buy it? Taobao?"

Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "It's Taobao. There are merchants on Taobao that sell these old calendars, but they are a bit hard to find, and most of them are not well preserved. I compared several merchants before choosing this one."

"After all, more than 50 years have passed, and it is really rare that the old calendar can be preserved so well."

"It's really rare." Chen Qingrong took the calendar and touched it carefully. "I have never seen such an old calendar. It is really the tears of the times."

"Then do you think Mom will like it?" Tang Xiaoru was full of confidence before she got the goods, but now she is a little uneasy. "This is not a valuable thing. I always feel that the gift is a little small. Otherwise, I should prepare some other gifts for Mom."

"No, no." Chen Qingrong waved his hand and gave her some advice. "The thought is more important than anything else. If you still think it's too simple, then write something auspicious after the date of my mother's birthday. Here, isn't this blank? Write something auspicious behind it. My mother will be happy when she sees it."

"That's fine." Tang Xiaoru listened to his advice and snatched the calendar back. "Let me make it clear first, this is not our common gift. This is mine. You have to prepare your own share."

Chen Qingrong said shamelessly, "Then recommend the Taobao store to me and I will buy one too."

"Chen Qingrong, you are not allowed to copy my idea!" Tang Xiaoru glared at him, "Think about it yourself. Besides, if we both give calendars, it will seem so insincere."

"Okay, I'll think about it myself."

Chen Qingrong is not a person who does not love his mother. In fact, he loves his mother very much. After all, his mother is the one who gave him life, how can he not love her?

The problem is that he really doesn't know what birthday present to give his mother.

Either buy clothes or give money. Apart from this, Chen Qingrong really doesn’t know what to buy.

Maybe that's what it means to be a son?
Is my son not born to be romantic?

He thought of another thing, "When is your parents' birthday?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "It's still early for them. Their birthdays are in November and December respectively, so they are pretty close."

"Then we didn't celebrate for them last year!"

"My parents don't like to celebrate birthdays, especially my mom. Since I turned 18, my dad and I don't dare mention her birthday in front of her because it would remind her that she's one year older and she would be unhappy."

Tang Xiaoru explained with a smile.

Chen Qingrong was amused. "It seems that no matter how old a woman is, age is always a hurdle that she can never overcome."

I slept comfortably that night.

The next morning, Tang Xiaoru got up early as usual to boil Chinese medicine for Chen Qingrong.

When Chen Qingrong got up, Tang Xiaoru suddenly called him loudly, "Chen Qingrong! Can you hear me?"

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched. "Yes, I can hear it. I was woken up by the sound of your fanning. By the way, we use the stove to boil Chinese medicine at home every day. It won't affect the neighbors, right? After all, the windows are open."

Tang Xiaoru thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be. At least we haven't received any complaints yet. Besides, who doesn't have a patient? If someone really complains, I can explain it to them and everything will be fine."

“Why don’t we use an electric cooker?”

"An electric cooker won't work. Mr. Fu said that we must use this charcoal stove." Tang Xiaoru said seriously.

Chen Qingrong was helpless. "Well, you've already been drinking for a few days, so just keep going. It's just too much work for you."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and shook her head, "It's not hard. I still say the same thing, your early recovery is more important than any words of comfort to me."

"Uh-huh."

After taking the Chinese medicine at home, the couple went to the company.

On the way, Tang Xiaoru asked Chen Qingrong to call Jin Feng and tell him about their company's investment projects, and that they would no longer be involved.

"Is this what your father meant?"

"Yes, my dad doesn't want to invest either." Tang Xiaoru nodded.

Chen Qingrong pouted, "Why don't you call Jinfeng yourself?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled playfully, "I'm shy, and I'm embarrassed to say such a rejection. It's better for you to come."

"I am responsible for all the offending things, right? Tang Xiaoru, listen to me saying thank you, because you have warmed the four seasons."

Although Chen Qingrong complained, he still took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Jin Feng.

After hearing that Chen Qingrong and his team would not invest, Jin Feng seemed very disappointed. "Mr. Chen, are you really not going to give it more thought? You should have seen the percentage in the business plan I gave you. I promise that you will not suffer any loss!"

Chen Qingrong said, "I see it, but we really don't have the money to invest right now. Sorry, Mr. Jin."

"What about Mr. Tang Chengshan? Is he not interested either?"

"Yeah, my father-in-law isn't interested either. Mr. Jin, you should ask someone else. If that doesn't work, you can go to the bank and ask."

"Okay, excuse me."

The phone hangs up.

Chen Qingrong said faintly, "I felt like I just rejected a girl who had been secretly in love with me for many years and finally mustered up the courage to confess to me. The tone of his voice before he hung up the phone sounded like his heart was about to break."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him, "You've watched too many youth movies, right? If there really is someone who has a crush on someone for years but dares not confess, then that person is a fool, okay?"

"That's right." Chen Qingrong said sarcastically, "To have a crush on someone for many years but not dare to confess is indeed a big fool. Especially for those who work in the same company and have long had a crush on each other but dare not say it no matter what, they are the biggest fool among fools."

Tang Xiaoru blushed and felt as if her little face was poked by a pair of hot tongs.

She pretended to be confused. "Who? Who are you talking about? Is there really such a person? Tell me his name so I can laugh at him."

Chen Qingrong just laughed and didn't respond.

He didn't dare say it.

If he really said that, Tang Xiaoru would get angry with him again.

Women are very strange.

Just like when it comes to weight.

They know they are fat, but as their partner, you just can't say it.

You're done for once you say it.

After arriving at the company, Chen Qingrong also started to get busy.

What Tang Xiaoru said in the meeting yesterday was not only directed at the employees, but also at him as the general manager.

Last night, when they were playing a first-person shooter game, Tang Xiaoru told him, breathlessly, to remember to come up with a design plan. Chen Qingrong was so shocked that he almost fired the gun.

So I started to get busy as soon as I arrived at the company.

Just like that a few more days passed.

During this period, Boss Liu's design plan for that project had reached the fourth edition, but Tang Xiaoru was still not satisfied with it. There was no choice but for Chen Qingrong and his team to continue revising it.

As today was almost Saturday, Chen Qingrong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he finally didn't have to go to the company to modify the plan.

"Hubby, after you take the medicine, let's go visit your teacher's wife." Tang Xiaoru reminded Chen Qingrong and asked, "Is your teacher's memorial service also today?"

Chen Qingrong nodded. "That day, after Liu Qianqian sent me a WeChat message about this incident, I asked my classmates for the teacher's wife's phone number to greet her. The teacher's wife told me that Teacher Fan's memorial service was specially chosen on Saturday so that more of his former students could pay tribute to him."

At this point, Chen Qingrong sat on the chair, scratched his head, and sighed, "Alas, it may be because I am getting older. Now the probability of attending a funeral is obviously higher than attending a wedding. I am a little afraid to go. I am afraid that once I see everyone crying, I can't help but think of Lao Sun again."

Tang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, "Why don't you wait at home and I'll go in your place. I'll go and see your teacher off for the last time."

Chen Qingrong gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll go with you. I didn't see Teacher Fan for the last time, so I have to see him off for the last time."

"Okay." Tang Xiaoru didn't try to persuade him.

At this time, Chen Qingrong suddenly approached Tang Xiaoru with a playful smile, "Tomorrow is Children's Day. Do you want a gift? I'll buy it for you."

Tang Xiaoru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm already 29, why should I celebrate Children's Day? You don't have to buy me a gift, no no no."

"That's not what I meant. I've seen a lot of women online who like to receive gifts on Children's Day. They've even changed Women's Day to Goddess Day. They're so shameless and continue to receive gifts. Don't you want to learn from them?"

"You yourself said that their behavior was shameless, and you still want me to learn from them. I am not that vulgar. Children's Day is for children, and Women's Day is Women's Day, not Goddess Day."

"My wife has a positive outlook on life." Chen Qingrong gave a thumbs up. "With a mother like you who has a positive outlook on life, our future children will not have distorted outlooks on life. I am very pleased."

Tang Xiaoru curled her lips and said, "That's hard to say. If the child inherits your genes, then it will be a mistake."

"So what if it's my inheritance? I have positive values ​​too."

"as long as you are happy."

"Hey?"

……

Before going out, Chen Qingrong and his friends changed into black clothes, bought flowers on the road, and then drove to Teacher Fan's memorial service.

Because it was Saturday, many people came, including school leaders, Mr. Fan’s former colleagues, and graduates like Chen Qingrong who had been taught by Mr. Fan. They all rushed back to see him off.

Teacher Fan's wife and her son stood by and bowed to everyone who came to mourn. The woman was in her forties, but half of her hair was already white.

The couple's child is only eleven years old this year, which is already an age where he can be sensible. He is chubby, has swollen eyes from crying, and looks extremely sad.

"Master's wife, please accept my condolences!"

Chen Qingrong came to the mother and son and bowed sadly to greet them.

The mother and son also bowed in return, and the master's wife forced a smile, "Old Fan would be very proud if he knew that you all came back to see him. Thank you for coming to see him off."

"It's my duty, Master's wife."

Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru placed flowers around Teacher Fan's coffin and walked around the coffin. They could see Teacher Fan lying peacefully among the flowers. This ordinary yet great teacher closed his eyes forever.

After attending the memorial service, we had lunch together.

However, Chen Qingrong really had no appetite, so he ate a little and went to say goodbye to his master's wife.

"You go first, husband. I want to go to the bathroom." Tang Xiaoru said.

Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then let's meet at the gate later. I'll wait for you there."

"it is good."

After separating from Chen Qingrong, Tang Xiaoru went to the toilet.

When I was using the toilet, I suddenly heard footsteps outside, followed by the sound of two women chatting.

"Qianqian, you said that Teacher Fan lived an honest and upright life for most of his life, but in the end he passed away like this. It's such a pity."

"Yeah, it's a pity."

"By the way, why didn't you bring your husband here? I haven't even met him yet."

"He's too busy and doesn't have time."

"I envy you for finding a rich and busy husband. You must be so happy now, haha."

"Why are you envious? There's no love between him and me. He has so many women outside. I just turned a blind eye to them. Oh, forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, did you see Chen Qingrong and his wife just now?"

Tang Xiaoru narrowed her eyes when she heard this.

Another girl quickly said, "Yes, I saw it. I remember when I went to Sun Cheng's memorial service, I saw Chen Qingrong's wife. She was very beautiful and had a good temperament. Chen Qingrong was very lucky. He was unknown in school. I didn't expect that he would marry such a beautiful wife after graduation."

Liu Qianqian said with some disdain, "Tsk, if I had taken the initiative at the beginning, would she have had anything to do with it?" "What do you mean? Did Chen Qingrong really get along with you when he was in college? Didn't you deny the rumors before? Is it true or false?"

"of course……"

boom.

Tang Xiaoru pushed open the door of the compartment and walked out, saying with a cold face, "It's fake."

Liu Qianqian and the chubby girl had never expected that Tang Xiaoru would also be in the bathroom, and their faces changed at the same time.

Liu Qianqian even said sarcastically, "Boss Tang is the president of a company after all, how could he do such a thing as eavesdropping in the bathroom?"

Tang Xiaoru retorted, "Ms. Liu is an adult after all. How can you ask such a stupid question? This is a toilet. I came here to use the toilet. How can I eavesdrop?"

"You..." Liu Qianqian gritted her teeth and snorted, "Humph, Mr. Tang doesn't have to be jealous of the relationship between me and Chen Qingrong. I'm married now and there's no way I'm going to destroy the relationship between you two. So, Mr. Tang doesn't have to treat me as an enemy."

Her tactic of retreating in order to advance actually pushed Tang Xiaoru to the point of being petty and jealous, making it seem as if Tang Xiaoru spoke to Liu Qianqian like that out of jealousy.

Tang Xiaoru certainly wouldn't fall for her language trap and sneered, "Haha, Miss Liu, you're overthinking it. I've never been jealous. Chen Qingrong and I have a good relationship. That's one reason. The other reason is that I'm very confident in myself. I don't believe I'll lose to someone like you."

"Someone like me? What do you mean?"

"It's you." Tang Xiaoru glanced at her with contempt. "Also, Miss Liu, please respect yourself and don't spread rumors about others. If I hear from other people that you and my husband had something going on during college, I will sue you for this rumor. Miss Liu, all your expenses now come from your husband. Do you think he will pay for this lawsuit for you?"

"You and I……"

"You two can chat slowly. Goodbye."

Tang Xiaoru sneered again and walked out with a swagger.

Her aura was so strong that when she spoke just now, Liu Qianqian and the chubby girl were so scared that they dared not even breathe loudly. Now that she left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Qianqian immediately cursed angrily, "What a bitch! I was so kind to introduce my husband to their company and discuss cooperation with them. Now it seems that my kindness is really taken for granted! Cooperation, cooperation, bullshit, I am so angry!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Keep your voice down. If she hears you before she leaves, you're doomed."

"You look down on me too, don't you? Am I really afraid of her? I just don't want to bother with her!" Liu Qianqian seemed very angry and spoke loudly on purpose.

But she was just hiding her guilty conscience through such behavior.

Tang Xiaoru had already entered the management level of a large company when she was 20 years old. The bloody experiences over the years had created a unique and powerful aura in her. Compared with her, Liu Qianqian was just like a rookie.

Tang Xiaoru also met Chen Qingrong at this time.

"Wife, why did you take so long to come back? Are you having diarrhea?" Chen Qingrong asked with concern.

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him, "What? I'm not sick. By the way, have you told your mistress that we are leaving?"

Chen Qingrong nodded. "I told you, we can leave now. Where do you want to go?"

"go……"

Jingle Bell.

Just as Tang Xiaoru was about to speak, her cell phone rang.

She took out her cell phone and checked the caller ID, then answered with a smile, "Hello, Bingbing, what's going on?"

Yang Bingbing smiled and said, "I have good news for you. Your brother Artest has been signed by my agent. I think he will treat you to a meal in the next two days to celebrate. You two should remember not to show it too obviously. I don't want him to know that you and I are best friends."

"If he knew about this, I'm worried that he would become arrogant in the company."

"You are so thoughtful. Don't worry, I won't tell him."

"It's not okay to be inconsiderate. Frankly speaking, this A Tai does have great potential. I've also watched his performance videos. Both his stage presence and his sense of rhythm are great. He is indeed someone who can be focused on. I don't want him to fail before he becomes completely popular, ah!"

As they were speaking, Yang Bingbing suddenly exclaimed.

Tang Xiaoru was startled. "What's wrong with you, Bingbing? What happened? Why are you yelling for no reason? What happened?"

Yang Bingbing smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my daughter kicked me just now. This little bastard, it really hurts, I'm so angry, after I give her the baby, I must teach her a lesson!"

Tang Xiaoru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You scared me. I thought something was wrong. But when are you going to unload the goods? Do you have to wait until next year?"

Yang Bingbing said, "I'm only four months pregnant, and the due date is still a long way off. I guess if I really want to give birth, it will have to be in winter. But winter is good for giving birth, unlike in the summer, when you sweat all over your body every day while carrying a baby, and it's sticky and uncomfortable."

Tang Xiaoru said casually, "If he was really born in winter, then he might as well be called Dongdong."

"Yan Dongdong? Hey, this name is quite nice. I'll give it some consideration."

"If you really need it, remember to give me a red envelope."

"You're dreaming. As my daughter's godmother, I haven't even asked you for a red envelope yet. How dare you ask me for one?"

The two girls chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

Sure enough, in the evening, A Tai invited them to have dinner together, saying that he had something important to tell them.

Tang Xiaoru and the others naturally knew what was going on, but they had to pretend to be confused on the phone. So after they agreed on a place in the evening, Tang Xiaoru forced Chen Qingrong to drink Chinese medicine first, and then took him to meet A Tai.

When I met Artest, there was only Artest and his girlfriend Luna. He did not bring other teammates with him.

After the food was served, A Tai stood up and raised his glass. "Sister, brother-in-law, I have good news for you. I have signed a contract with an agency. My group and I are finally going to officially enter the entertainment industry. I can't get to this point without your support. Otherwise, I would have succumbed to the reality a long time ago. Come, let me toast you!"

"You don't need to thank us. This is the result of your own hard work. Hard work will definitely be rewarded."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and raised her orange juice, while Chen Qingrong drank wine.

After finishing a glass, Chen Qingrong pretended to be confused and asked, "Which company did you sign with?"

"Joy." A-Tai chuckled, "That big star Yang Bingbing and I are from the same agency. And I'll tell you a secret. We both have the same agency. She's considered my senior. I might even get to meet her someday."

Chen Qingrong suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Then remember to ask for an autographed photo when you meet her. I am her fan. I really like her performance in The Man Who Was Hunted."

"Isn't he wanted by the whole city, brother-in-law?"

"She's wanted by the whole city." Tang Xiaoru interrupted faintly, "Have you two ever seen the movie she starred in?"

"Same idea, same idea." Chen Qingrong laughed and looked at Luna again, "When did your sister-in-law get together with A-Tai? I haven't even heard A-Tai mention it."

Luna said happily, "Atai and I have been together for almost two months. It's a secret relationship because he is a celebrity in our school now. In order to protect his privacy and to protect me, we haven't made it public yet."

"Wouldn't this be too unfair to you?"

"No, no, I understand Artest very well."

"That's good."

The meal was quite harmonious.

When they were almost done eating, Tang Xiaoru received a call from her grandfather, "Xiaoru, you and Qingrong should come to our place tonight. I want you to help me buy a medicine. Your parents, these two idiots, can't find it online. You are young people and are smarter."

Tang Xiaoru agreed immediately, "Okay, we'll go over now."

After hanging up the phone, she said to A Tai and the others, "Eat slowly. Your brother-in-law and I are going to grandpa's house first. My grandpa wants to talk to us about something."

A Tai said quickly, "Ah? Then you guys go quickly. By the way, I'll take you there."

“No, no.” Chen Qingrong held his shoulder. “There are so many dishes left. It won’t be too late for you two to finish some before leaving. We’ll leave first.”

"Okay, sister and brother-in-law, take care."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Qingrong and his companions left the private room first.

When they were almost at the gate, Chen Qingrong suddenly slapped his head and said, "Shit, I left my power bank in the room. Honey, go back to the car and wait for me for a while. I'll go back and get the power bank."

Tang Xiaoru was both angry and amused, "Stupid, why are you so forgetful? How about I help you get it?"

"No need." Chen Qingrong shook his head and pointed to his ears. "I just have some problems with my ears, not my legs. You wait for me in the car first. I'll come to you when I get it."

"Okay, then you need to hurry up."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Qingrong returned to the private room where he had just eaten.

When he arrived at the private room, before he pushed the door open, he heard the voices of A Tai and the other person talking and laughing from inside.

"This time we have to try out the new stuff."

"Atai, will this be harmful to your health? I'm a little worried about your health."

"It's okay. It's fine if you take a small amount. It won't cause any harm to your body as long as you don't take too much. If you're worried, I'll try it first and show you."

When Chen Qingrong heard this, he immediately became furious and pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Brother-in-law?" A-Tai and the others were both startled. "Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Chen Qingrong closed the door first, then walked up to them with a stern face, "If I hadn't come back halfway, I wouldn't know how brave you two are. Hand over the things!"

A Tai was very confused, "What is that?"

Chen Qingrong said coldly, "What else could it be? It's that new stuff you just mentioned! Take it out!"

"Ah? You mean this spicy noodle?"

A Tai weakly took out a bag of red spicy strips from his pocket.

Chen Qingrong was stunned. "Latiao? Isn't it DP?"

"Of course not!" A Tai seemed very surprised. "Brother-in-law, what are you thinking? Luna and I are both good kids, how could it be possible?"

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched. "I just heard you guys talking about some new stuff, and Luna was worried that it would be harmful to the body. I thought you were going to eat that stuff, and it really scared me to death."

"I thought to myself, you haven't even entered the entertainment industry yet, have you already been infected by the bad habits in the entertainment industry?"

A-Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's not true, brother-in-law. You got the wrong idea. I asked someone to help me buy this kind of devil spicy strips from the Philippines. It's said to be the second hottest in the world. Luna and I have already tasted the third hottest in the world, so this time we plan to try the second hottest, right, Luna?"

Luna also nodded quickly, "Yes, brother-in-law, yes, we really didn't do that! Even if A Tai was confused, I couldn't be confused. My father is a policeman. If I dared to do that, he would really break my legs if he knew about it!"

Chen Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two did not seem to be lying. He warned them, "It's good that you two have not gone astray. You must never touch that kind of stuff. If you do, a good person's life will really be ruined. And you, A Tai, you should also eat less of this kind of spicy strips. After all, you still have to make money with your voice. If you damage your voice, your future will be ruined."

A Tai quickly said, "I understand, brother-in-law. I'm just challenging myself. I can't possibly finish this whole bag. By the way, brother-in-law, do you want to try it?"

"I don't need it." Chen Qingrong waved his hand quickly, "I just came back to get the power bank I left behind. You two just eat less. Here, I'm leaving first."

He picked up the power bank and left.

After returning to the car, Chen Qingrong complained to Tang Xiaoru about what had happened.

Tang Xiaoru laughed after hearing this. "Haha, you are really alert. Fortunately, you heard that kind of sound. If you heard that kind of sound, it would be embarrassing."

"What kind of sound are you talking about?"

"What do you think?" Tang Xiaoru raised her eyebrows ambiguously.

Chen Qingrong reacted and smiled obscenely, "I didn't realize, Xiaoru, you're quite a low-brow. I haven't even thought about it in that way."

Tang Xiaoru blushed and quickly explained, "What? What do you mean by 'lowering the head'? I am just analyzing it normally, okay? After all, they are in love with each other, and they are still young, so it is normal for them to accidentally discharge their guns. Well, please don't slander me."

"I know, I know." Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes and fastened his seat belt. "Let's go to grandpa and grandma's house. It's not even eight o'clock yet, so it's not too late."

"Ah."

After driving to her grandparents' house, Tang Xiaoru asked her grandfather what medicine he wanted to buy. Her grandfather took out a medicine bottle and showed it to her. Tang Xiaoru quickly started searching on Taobao.

"This is medicine for treating high blood pressure." Tang Xiaoru was a little surprised. "Medicine for treating high blood pressure is also sold in pharmacies. Grandpa, why did you think of buying this kind of foreign medicine? Did my parents buy it for you?"

Grandpa shook his head. "That's not the case. An old friend of mine recommended it to me. You don't know, but this medicine is really effective after taking it. It's much better than domestic medicines. Since I took it, my blood pressure has not been that high."

Grandma also agreed, "I can vouch for your grandfather on this point."

"Then I'll buy you some more."

"Don't buy too much. If you buy too much, it will be a waste. Just buy me three boxes. Three boxes will be enough for me for most of the year."

"it is good."

Tang Xiaoru started shopping.

Chen Qingrong sat aside and chatted with his grandmother.

Grandma noticed the wound on Chen Qingrong's forehead and asked, "Qingrong, why is your forehead injured? Did you fight with someone?"

Chen Qingrong lied quickly, "No, grandma, I'm already 28 years old, how could I be so impulsive to fight with others? I was on the way to the construction site and accidentally bumped into the scaffolding. It's not a big deal, I'm already recovering."

"Aren't you working in an office? Why do you have to go to the construction site?"

"Yes, if you sit in the office, you are busy with the computer, and if you go to the construction site, you are busy on site..."

Chen Qingrong briefly introduced his work content to his grandmother.

Grandma didn't really understand it either, but she just thought her grandson-in-law was very capable.

After staying at their grandparents' house for a while, the couple drove back home.

Because today is Saturday, Chen Qingrong took a day off as usual and did not update. When he logged into QQ, he found that someone in the group was calling him a lazy dog.

Chen Qingrong just pretended not to see it.

The royalties from his novels are increasing, and the copyright fees from his comics are even bigger. Naturally, he has become a little bit arrogant.

Now he can finally understand why those super masters are unwilling to update even though they have time, and some even update weekly, daily, or yearly. They just don't value the subscription money.

When he was following novels, what he hated most was that a certain author would take leave every few days and stop updating. Every time he received a reminder from the app saying that the novel had been updated, he would click on it and find that it was a leave note. Only those who have truly followed novels can understand the disappointment and anger they felt.

At that time, he always scolded those authors severely.

Now, he has finally become the kind of person he hated the most.

"Honey, what time will your comics be available on B-station tomorrow?"

"Seven o'clock in the evening." Chen Qingrong went to the bathroom to wash his face first, and then wiped his face with a towel before continuing, "I will update twice a week, and each update time is seven o'clock in the evening."

Tang Xiaoru came over and asked, "Do you need a membership to watch it?"

Chen Qingrong said pretentiously, "Of course you need to be a member. If you don't have a membership, how can I make money? How can the company make money? Besides, if you don't have a membership, how can I show off my status?"

Tang Xiaoru pouted, "Oh, but I haven't renewed my membership on B station for a long time. I'll just watch pirated movies online when the time comes."

"Hey!" Chen Qingrong put his hands on his waist, but he was actually leaning on Tang Xiaoru's slender waist. He said very dissatisfiedly, "As the wife of an authentic author like me, you take the lead in reading pirated copies. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Tang Xiaoru tilted her head slightly, "Well, what's inappropriate about that?"

Chen Qingrong, "..."

He pushed Tang Xiaoru onto the dining table and bullied her severely.

Tang Xiaoru was born in the year of the horse, so she has to be fucked hard.

The next day is Children's Day.

Although Tang Xiaoru said that she did not celebrate Children's Day, Chen Qingrong still ordered roses to be delivered to her home. At noon, Tang Xiaoru knelt on one knee in her pajamas to accept the flower delivery ceremony from Chen Qingrong.

"Didn't I say I don't celebrate Children's Day? You're wasting money again!"

Tang Xiaoru's lips were pouted high, but the smile in the corner of her eyes could not be hidden at all.

Chen Qingrong seriously suspected that she was pouting just to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth like AK's.

"Life still needs a sense of ritual." Chen Qingrong smiled and deliberately provoked her, "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away. It's not expensive anyway."

"It would be a shame to throw it away." Tang Xiaoru grabbed it and pulled him up, holding the flower up to cover her face, and asked a very childish question, "Am I beautiful or is the flower beautiful?"

Chen Qingrong blurted out without even thinking, "You are beautiful, flowers are nothing compared to you, they are just a pile of dog shit."

Tang Xiaoru put the flowers down a little and frowned, "Then why did you give me a pile of dog shit?"

Chen Qingrong, "???"

You are not a sister...how can you play like this?
Jingle Bell.

At this time, Lawyer Ouyang called and said, "Miss, please come to the court with your son-in-law at 1 pm. Zheng Hailong's case will be heard in court."
