Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 266: Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia give birth to a child, the final chapter
During the time that Zhong's mother lived at home for a long time, Zhong Xiaoqin's dependence on Lin Yuan became deeper unknowingly.

After all, Zhong's mother is very meticulous and doesn't allow Zhong Xiaoqin to touch any raw, cold or spicy food. She even complains about desserts that are slightly sweeter.

But Lin Yuan would often go out for a walk, holding Zhong Xiaoqin's hand, and would walk into a corner shop with sweet aromas to let her feast on a delicious meal.

Every time the young couple went out, Zhong's mother would keep her hands busy and start cleaning the room. Even if the house was already clean enough, she would still wipe here and sweep there.

Lin Yuan also suggested hiring a nanny to share these household chores, but was rejected by Zhong's mother, so Lin Yuan naturally did not force it.

Another month has passed in a hurry.

Zhong Xiaoqin's pregnant belly was bulging high, and the round curve looked like a small semicircular ball. Her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a hazy maternal glow, making her look even more gentle and peaceful.

At night, Zhong Xiaoqin lay on her side on the soft big bed. Lin Yuan leaned close to her, his warm breath sweeping across her neck.

After all, the doctor said that moderate intimate contact during the second trimester is beneficial to both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Zhong Xiaoqin gently lifted her legs, and the two of them moved closer together quietly.

Love is like the drizzle on a spring night, moistening everything silently.

A new day comes quietly.

Zhong Xiaoqin's cheeks were glowing with a warm glow, just like the peach blossoms blooming on the branches in spring, more bright and beautiful than usual.

This is of course thanks to Lin Yuan's diligence.

In the morning, the website editor took the initiative to send a message, wanting to arrange a meeting with Zhong Xiaoqin to discuss the copyright of the novel.

The number of clicks on Zhong Xiaoqin's novel "Clouds Have Several Postures" published on the website has soared. Although the plot is different from the original drama, it has still become one of the best-selling novels on the website with its delicate writing and wonderful plot.

Zhong Xiaoqin walked into the study and couldn't wait to share this matter with Lin Yuan.

"Honey, the website editor contacted me and wanted to talk to me offline about copyright issues."

"I knew you could do it." Lin Yuan gently hugged Zhong Xiaoqin and pecked her on the lips.

Zhong Xiaoqin raised her face and said, "Hehe, if you hadn't persuaded me to quit my job and write a book, I might still be a punching bag in the owner group and the merchant group."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "In the final analysis, the stories you write are still touching. You can invite him to a nearby coffee shop, and I will go with you."

The website editor's name was Lan Yi. When he saw Lin Yuan and Zhong Xiaoqin coming together, he immediately stood up and asked Zhong Xiaoqin, "Are you Teacher Sui Xin?"

Sui Xin is the online name of Zhong Xiaoqin when she writes books.

"It's me. You are the editor, Blue Chair?"

"Yes, please sit down." Lan Yi pointed to the chair in front of him, his eyes casually sweeping over Zhong Xiaoqin's bulging belly, "Congratulations on the new arrival."

After a brief greeting, Lan Yi got down to business.

"This time, several well-known film and television companies are planning to buy the copyright of "How Many Forms of Clouds" to make a TV series, and the highest offer has reached 220 million."

"Mr. Duo?" Zhong Xiaoqin was very surprised. Her little hand, which was a little swollen due to pregnancy, suddenly grasped Lin Yuan's hand.

She originally hoped to earn some royalties from writing novels to prove herself, but she didn't expect that a film and television company would be willing to spend so much money to buy the copyright of her novels.

Lan Yi nodded and said seriously, "220 million, this does not include the income from book royalties. As long as you are willing to sell the copyright, we can also help you publish this novel."

After all, for online writers, publishing is an authoritative recognition of their creative ability and the quality of their works.

Zhong Xiaoqin was very moved, but she still looked at Lin Yuan, "Hubby, what do you think?"

"I have no objection." Lin Yuan naturally had no reason to refuse, and gently squeezed her hand, "If you want to sell it, then sell it. The choice is yours."

Of course he wasn't after the money.

For Zhong Xiaoqin, the sale of the film and television adaptation rights and the opportunity to publish physical books are both recognitions of her creative talent, and this considerable income is also the best proof of her own worth.

Seeing the light of expectation in Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes, Lin Yuan said to Lan Yi, "Bring me the contract."

Lin Yuan took the document and scanned every line of the terms with a sharp gaze. After confirming that there were no hidden traps, he handed the contract to Zhong Xiaoqin and asked her to sign.

On the way back, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the contract in her hand, still a little bit unbelieving.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Lin Yuan held her waist firmly, leaned close to her ear and said, "I will bite your heart when we get back. If it hurts, it means it's not a dream."

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes curved: "I won't let you bite me. Even if it's a dream, I won't wake up."

"Then your husband will reward you well tonight."

"Hmm~" Zhong Xiaoqin responded gently.

A few days later, the copyright fees from the film and television company were transferred to Zhong Xiaoqin's bank card.

After deducting taxes, Zhong Xiaoqin received a total of 156 million.

Zhong Xiaoqin's heartbeat almost burst out of her chest after earning so much money all of a sudden.

This is so much money. If she were still in the property company, she would have to work for fifteen years to earn this much.

It is true that a tree that is not moved will die, but a person who moves will live.

Moreover, this was the money she earned from writing novels, and it felt completely different from Hua Linyuan's money.

Zhong Xiaoqin was so happy that she immediately gave each of her parents a big red envelope, and then dragged Lin Yuan to the mall to shop.

With money in hand, Zhong Xiaoqin was confident. She bought a lot of expensive clothes for Lin Yuan, added a lot of new furniture to the house, and then took Lin Yuan to a restaurant she used to go to.

The food in this restaurant is not expensive, but it tastes just like her.

Zhong Xiaoqin checked the menu with familiarity. All the dishes were ones that Zhong's mother did not allow people to eat at home.

In fact, Zhong's mother knew very well that Lin Yuan always "secretly" took Zhong Xiaoqin out to eat foods that she didn't allow her to eat at home.

But Zhong's mother had no choice. She could only restrain Zhong Xiaoqin at home. She naturally had no control over her when she went out. On the contrary, when she saw Lin Yuan holding Zhong Xiaoqin in his hands, she felt satisfied from the bottom of her heart.

After ordering a few dishes together, the two began to chat casually about the decoration of the baby room.

Only after the food was served did they start eating together.

Lin Yuan paused for a moment as he saw a familiar figure in a suit and tie walk in. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Zhong Xiaoqin followed his gaze and unexpectedly met Chen Yu here.

Chen Yu found an empty seat by the window and sat down. He was going to have a blind date with a girl today. His mother asked Chen Xu to introduce her to him.

Noticing someone was staring at him, Chen Yu looked over and saw that it was Zhong Xiaoqin and Lin Yuan.

His gaze stayed on Zhong Xiaoqin's bulging belly for half a second, and he nodded very lightly, so slightly that it was almost imperceptible, then raised his hand to adjust his glasses and looked away.

Chen Yu had wanted to come to Zhong Xiaoqin's company to find her once before, but after seeing her and Lin Yuan being intimate in the car, he felt lost and hurt. Now that he saw that Zhong Xiaoqin was pregnant, he knew that the past could not be retrieved.

It sounds long, but in fact it was only a moment. Lin Yuan and Zhong Xiaoqin quickly withdrew their gazes, and neither of them said anything more about Chen Yu.

"GuGu must be very bored in Xiangxi alone, and there is no one to accompany her." Zhong Xiaoqin poked the crab roe tofu in the bowl with chopsticks and looked at Lin Yuan with sparkling eyes: "When can we go to Xiangxi to visit GuGu?"

"Let's wait until next year. It's so cold in the mountains, and you're pregnant. I'm worried about you."

Zhong Xiaoqin pouted and said coquettishly, "I should have known not to let Gu Gu run the tea factory. We have never been apart for such a long time before."

Lin Yuan teased her: "Then I'll go see her for you next time, that's ok."

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, it would be even better if we could bring her back."

While the two were chatting, Chen Yu was fidgeting and kept looking at his watch.

Half an hour has passed since the agreed blind date time, but the blind date partner has not arrived yet.

Chen Yu called Chen Xu, covered his mouth with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Is the person you introduced to me reliable? It's been half an hour and he still hasn't shown up."

"Alas, it's normal for a woman to be late when she goes out."

"Are you late for a while?" Chen Yu subconsciously looked at Zhong Xiaoqin who was sitting diagonally opposite him. Seeing that she was being teased by Lin Yuan, he felt very uncomfortable. "Hurry her up!"

Chen Xu replied weakly: "Okay, I'll ask for you."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Chen Yu did not receive a call back from Chen Xu, but he finally got his blind date.

She is a woman with ordinary looks and a slightly plump figure.

Chen Yu originally thought that it would be very beautiful to be treated like this. He suppressed his displeasure and forced a smile, "Let's order the dishes first."

The woman glanced at the menu and complained, "A place like this for our first meeting?"

Then, without any hesitation, he ordered a few expensive dishes.

After she ordered the dishes, she got straight to the point and asked, "I've learned about your conditions. You need to be a TV station editor, divorced, and have a house and a car. Are these conditions correct?"

"Yes."

The woman nodded with satisfaction: "If I marry you, you have to give my family a betrothal gift of 300,000 yuan, and I have to manage the money after marriage."

"Three hundred thousand?" Chen Yu frowned.

The woman snorted coldly: "When my best friend got married, the betrothal gift was 600,000 yuan. 300,000 yuan is already very little. By the way, you have to add my name to the property certificate. You have no objection to this, right?"

Although Chen Yu was a sullen person, he couldn't stand this and said coldly, "My ex-wife owns half of this house. We have to sell it and share the money after the transfer next year."

"Then where will we live if we're together? Rent a house? You're going out on a blind date when you don't have a house? You're making fun of me."

The woman was so angry that she grabbed her bag and left, her high heels slamming heavily on the ground. Chen Yu did not say anything to try to keep her, as he also looked down on such a woman.

He just didn't know whether all this would be seen by Zhong Xiaoqin and Lin Yuan. When he turned his head inadvertently to look over there, he found that the two had left long ago without him noticing.

After Chen Yu returned home, he asked Chen Xu in dissatisfaction: "Chen Xu, who did you introduce to me? If you introduce me to such an unreliable person again, do you believe that I will beat you?"

Chen Xu asked: "Why is it unreliable?"

"She asked for 300,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, and also asked me to hand over all my future salary and add her name to the property certificate. When she heard that I would give half of the house to Zhong Xiaoqin in the future, she just turned around and left."

"Brother, aren't all women like this now? Women like my sister-in-law have long been extinct, okay?"

Chen Yu's breathing stagnated and he was speechless.

……

After more than three months, Gu Jia's house in Grand Hyatt was finally sold.

After deducting their outstanding mortgage, they will still have more than 10 million left, but the money is still being processed, so it will probably take another month or two to get the house payment.

In January 2021, the cold wind in western Hunan brought with it mountain fog.

When Lin Yuan walked on the muddy and snowy road to the tea garden, he saw Gu Jia from afar, wrapped in a thick down coat, holding her pregnant belly and standing among the tea trees, teaching the tea farmers the essentials of pruning tea trees.

When Gu Jia turned around and saw Lin Yuan, surprise and surprise flashed in her eyes: "Why are you here?"

If Lin Yuan really ignored her and stayed at home with Zhong Xiaoqin every day, she would feel uncomfortable.

"I always feel like someone is always thinking about me. I can't get over it if I don't say anything." Lin Yuan first touched her pregnant belly through his coat, then half hugged her and walked towards the house. "It's freezing cold, so don't go to the tea garden anymore."

"I'm used to this road. It'll be fine."

After returning to Gu Jia's house, Lin Yuan asked, "Where is Xu Ziyan?"

"It's still in the kindergarten in town." Gu Jia took off her cold gloves and prepared to make a cup of hot tea for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan felt relieved. After all, what was about to happen was somewhat inappropriate for children.

He stopped Gu Jia, turned up the air conditioner temperature, and turned around to unbutton her coat.

Except for the bulging belly, her figure has hardly changed and is still as slim as before.

Lin Yuan's intimate contact that followed was too long ago, so Gu Jia naturally acquiesced reluctantly.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan reached for his phone and unlocked the screen.

Gu Jia was grabbing a cashmere sweater and putting it on her shoulders, her hair was scattered messily on the side of her neck, covering her red earlobes.

Hearing the ringing, Gu Jia asked curiously: "Who are you calling?"

"Xiao Qin."

Gu Jia exclaimed softly: "Ah?"

At this moment, the video call was connected, and Zhong Xiaoqin's pretty smiling face immediately popped up on the screen.

"Honey, are you there already?"

"Just arrived, let me show you Sister Jia."

Lin Yuan pointed the camera at Gu Jia's face. Gu Jia stroked her hair subconsciously. Zhong Xiaoqin asked curiously, "Gu Gu, why is your face so red?"

Only the faces of the two people were shown on the screen, so the little tricks that Lin Yuan was doing secretly were naturally invisible.

Gu Jia pretended to be calm and explained: "The air conditioner in the house is turned on too high."

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't notice anything unusual and continued to speak excitedly: "Gu Gu, I have already made an agreement with Lin Yuan to let him stay with you for a few more days to help you deal with the tea factory. If I knew you were going to Xiangxi to run the tea factory, I wouldn't let you take over."

"Xiaoqin, I don't feel tired here, and the environment here is very beautiful. I feel quite comfortable after staying here for a long time."

"Don't be polite with me, Lin Yuan, you can use me however you want." Zhong Xiaoqin was in high spirits. She hadn't had a good chat with Gu Jia for a long time, and they chatted for a long time without realizing it.

Lin Yuan sat leisurely aside, listening to the conversation between the two, his left hand naturally falling on Gu Jia's leg.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan hugged Gu Jia and said, "Let's continue."

Lin Yuan stayed in Gu Jia's room for several days.

After all, as a pregnant woman, the dual psychological and physiological changes will make her more fragile and sensitive. As the father of the child, Lin Yuan naturally has to accompany her well.

"Xiaoqin asked you to help me with the tea factory." Gu Jia looked at Lin Yuan's hand on her waist, "You haven't even been to the tea factory, and you're helping me like this?"

Lin Yuan sneered: "Isn't it helping you to keep a happy mood and an excited spirit?" Gu Jia rolled her eyes at him: "Count it, count it."

That day, around ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Huanshan suddenly made a video call to Gu Jia.

Although she was a little confused, Gu Jia still picked up the phone.

"Gu Jia, is Zi Yan next to you?"

Gu Jia shook her head: "He is in kindergarten."

Xu Huanshan nodded somewhat dejectedly: "Take good care of him. I am sorry for what happened before."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huanshan hung up the phone.

Gu Jia was a little confused, but she didn't take it to heart and didn't even talk about it with Lin Yuan.

The next day, Gu Jia was pulling Lin Yuan's hair with her little hands, and she tilted her head back and frowned slightly.

The phone rang. It was Chen Xu calling.

Gu Jia pushed Lin Yuan but failed, so she bit her lip and answered the phone.

Chen Xu's voice soon came: "Sister Jia, Mr. Xu's fireworks factory exploded the night before yesterday, two people died and three were injured, and he was also taken away by the police."

"What?" Gu Jia's body was shaking violently, and her mood was very complicated.

No wonder Xu Huanshan looked a little strange when he called me via video yesterday.

Chen Xu continued, "I no longer work with Mr. Xu, so I just found out about this."

Gu Jia raised her head and closed her eyes, trying to calm her pounding heart, suppressing her voice: "I understand, thank you, Chen Xu."

Gu Jia decided to go back to Shanghai to take a look. After all, Xu Huanshan was Xu Ziyan's father, and she wanted to help in any way she could.

"I want to go back to the Magic City to take a look, is that okay?"

After all, Lin Yuan is the father of the baby in her belly, so she has to ask for his opinion.

"Don't rush back to Shanghai. There's nothing important to do in the tea factory during the winter. I bought you a house in Shanghai. Your father's house is too small and inconvenient to live in. When the time comes, you can ask Sister Chen to come back to take care of you. That way, I can feel more at ease."

"Then don't tell Xiaoqin yet. Just come find me if you miss me."

Gu Jia did not ask any more questions about what Lin Yuan and Zhong Xiaoqin had confessed. Since Lin Yuan had stated the exact time, there was no need for her to keep asking. She was not the kind of woman who could not make sense.

Lin Yuan and Gu Jia bought plane tickets and returned to Shanghai together.

After returning to the Gu family, Gu Jia left Xu Ziyan to Gu Jinghong. Gu Jinghong looked at his daughter's pregnant belly and his mouth remained open for a long time.

Gu Jia avoided her father's surprised look and went directly to the fireworks company.

There are only more than two million yuan left on the account of Xu Huanshan’s fireworks company, and a lot of money has not been recovered. Now that the explosion has happened, it is even more impossible to get it back.

Late at night, she nestled in Lin Yuan's arms, biting her lip and saying, "When the money from selling the house arrives, if it's not enough, I want to help him make up the compensation."

With two deaths and three injuries, the two million yuan in the account would definitely not be enough. But if Xu Huanshan's share of the house payment is included, it should be enough. If it is still not enough, Gu Jia thought about making up some for Xu Huanshan herself.

Lin Yuan did not comment, and whispered in her ear: "Okay, but you have to..."

Gu Jia's pretty face flushed: "If Xiaoqin agrees, I agree."

At least Lin Yuan's words expressed his attitude of letting Zhong Xiaoqin know.

In February, Gu Jia helped Xu Huanshan deal with the compensation issue, and then went to visit Xu Huanshan in the detention center.

Now Xu Huanshan is detained in the police station. Even if Gu Jia has helped him pay the compensation, he cannot escape the three-year prison sentence. After all, the explosion at the fireworks factory was a major accident of responsibility.

The two looked at each other through the window and picked up the phone.

Xu Huanshan's figure has become much thinner than before.

He looked at the curve of Gu Jia's pregnant belly, with a look of surprise on his miserable face.

"you are pregnant?"

Gu Jia put her slender hand on her pregnant belly and nodded: "Don't get me wrong, the child is not yours."

She paused and continued, "The house in Junyue Mansion has been sold. The compensation amount, including your share, is still short of more than 200,000 yuan. I will help you make up the difference."

"Thank you." Xu Huanshan forced a smile and nodded. He didn't expect that in the end it would be his ex-wife who would help him clean up the mess.

"Don't thank me. I'm just accumulating blessings for Zi Yan and the baby in my belly."

Xu Huanshan nodded, knowing that Gu Jia didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"It's my fault. I harmed Zi Yan."

Now that he is in jail, if Xu Ziyan wants to take the civil service exam, he will not be able to pass the political review.

Gu Jia took a deep breath: "I told you before that blue fireworks pose a great safety hazard, why didn't you listen?"

Xu Huanshan sighed softly: "Lin Youyou said she likes this kind of fireworks."

"Where's Lin Youyou?"

Xu Huanshan pulled the corner of his mouth bitterly and looked at Gu Jia on the other side of the glass: "She came to see me once last month, and then she never showed up again."

"Take care of yourself." Gu Jia nodded in understanding and put the microphone back in its place.

No matter what, what Lin Youyou values ​​is Xu Huanshan's wealth and she loves the glamorous Mr. Xu. Now that he is in jail, it is naturally impossible for Lin Youyou to continue with him.

……

In March, Gu Jia returned to the tea factory in Xiangxi and continued to take care of the tea trees on the mountains.

In the blink of an eye, it was a day in April.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Lin Yuan slyly: "Hubby, tomorrow is your birthday. No matter what you tell me, I won't be angry."

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Is there something else behind your words?"

"Huh, I'm so smart." Zhong Xiaoqin showed the two plane tickets in her hand, "Don't try to hide the matter between you and Gu Gu from me. I knew it last year."

Zhong Xiaoqin spoke in a relaxed tone and looked calm. In fact, from the moment she discovered the clue, she felt relieved.

Because she always felt that she owed Lin Yuan something and was always thinking about how to compensate him.

However, Lin Yuan remained silent all the time, even though she had hinted at it many times, in the end she had to point it out herself.

Of course Lin Yuan noticed something. As Zhong Xiaoqin's bedmate, he was the one who knew her best.

Knowing that Zhong Xiaoqin had this intention, he was no longer in a hurry.

"Being with her was just an accident, being with you is true love."

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but raise a smug smile: "Don't say that in front of Gu Gu."

The next day, the two of them held their tickets and boarded a flight to Xiangxi.

It was spring and the flowers were blooming. Gu Jia was very surprised to see the two of them coming together.

Zhong Xiaoqin held Gu Jia's slightly cold hands and stuck out her tongue: "I wanted to pretend to be angry to scare you, but knowing that you are pregnant, I dare not."

Gu Jia's eyes filled with tears: "Xiaoqin..."

The two pregnant women held hands tightly, and Zhong Xiaoqin said seriously: "Come back to the Magic City with us. If I had known you were pregnant, I would have asked Lin Yuan to take you back."

Lin Yuan put his arms around the two girls' shoulders and said with a wicked smile, "Let's go back to the room together. Today is my birthday, and I'm the oldest. You two can't go back on your promises to me."

In an instant, the room was filled with fragrance.

A few days later, Lin Yuan brought the two women back to the Magic City.

Time flies, and at the end of June, both daughters gave birth.

Zhong Xiaoqin successfully gave birth to a baby boy, and Lin Yuan named him Lin Che, which means a clear and transparent life; shortly afterwards, Gu Jia also gave birth to a daughter safely, and Lin Yuan named her Lin Wantang, which means as tough as a crabapple.

Wang Manni had thought about adopting Zhong Xiaoqin's son as her godson, but Lin Yuan directly rejected her idea. He didn't want to have too much to do with such a woman, so he just said that his son had already adopted Gu Jia as his godmother.
Zhong Xiaoqin's body recovered amazingly fast after giving birth. What made Lin Yuan even happier was that the parts of her body that had gained weight due to pregnancy did not shrink at all. He couldn't help but sigh that he was in such a good mood.

In the Magic City at the end of November, the cold wind brought with it moist mist.

Lin Yuan accompanied Zhong Xiaoqin to choose clothes for the upcoming book signing event of "How Many Postures Do Clouds Have?"

On the day of the signing, the bookstore hall was crowded with readers holding copies of How Many Postures Do Clouds Have?

Lin Yuan sat in the third row of the audience, watching the spotlight illuminate the tips of Zhong Xiaoqin's hair.

She was wearing an off-white silk shirt, and her pearl earrings swayed gently as she spoke. She was answering the host's questions in a clear and coherent manner.

"Last question," the host suddenly lowered his voice, "Does the male protagonist in the book who silently supports the female protagonist have a prototype in real life?"

The corners of her lips curled up in a gentle arc, and her eyes passed through the layers of people and met Lin Yuan's eyes closely: "In fact, some readers criticized me, saying that my story is too idealistic and that what I wrote is unrealistic. But he is better in reality than in the book."

After the book signing event, Zhong Xiaoqin handed the last book to the reader, then left holding Lin Yuan's hand.

……

After their son was completely weaned, the couple left him to Mr. and Mrs. Zhong and went out to travel.

Gu Jia couldn't be as free and easy as them. Besides, she had two children, and she would feel bad leaving them all to be taken care of by Gu Jinghong.

After all, she never told Gu Jinghong the true identity of the child's father.

Even if I really accompany them on a trip, I would at least bring my daughter with me.

Four years later.

Wang Manni had long since ended her study abroad in Australia and returned to Shanghai, but this study abroad experience did not help her and she is still doing the same job as before.

The contact between Gu Jia, Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni also became sparse because of her studying abroad. The two girls were busy taking care of their husbands and children, which was completely different from her days as a single person.

She has had several relationships over the years, but none of them lasted to the end. Now she is still single. When she accidentally walked into Jiang Chen's coffee shop, she found that Jiang Chen had already married a female employee in his shop and they had a lovely child.

Frustrated, she chose to return to her hometown again. This time, the blind dates her parents introduced to her were all divorced men, which almost broke her defenses.

Of course, her parents were even more upset. Their daughter had been working in a big city, and not only had she not saved any money, she had not even found a boyfriend, which really made them worry.

There are always people talking behind her back, spreading rumors that the work she does in Shanghai is improper.

Wang Manni looked at the recruitment information in Shanghai on her mobile phone screen, and once again had the idea of ​​returning to Shanghai to work.

Xu Huanshan was released from prison a long time ago. When his parents found out about the bad things he had done, they were furious.

Instead of living a good life, he cheated on his wife and found a mistress. The fireworks company also went bankrupt because of the mistress. Xu Huanshan had to serve three years in prison, which almost made them, who were living in Australia in retirement, unable to survive.

Because he had been in jail, Xu Huanshan lived a lonely life after he was released from prison. He became somewhat inferior and anxious, and lost his former spirit.

Occasionally I would chat with Xu Ziyan on the phone and ask him about his and Gu Jia's recent situation. Xu Ziyan's attitude towards Xu Huanshan remained the same. After all, Gu Jia had educated him very well.

Knowing that everything was fine and that his stepfather was nice to Xu Ziyan, Xu Huanshan felt relieved.

But after hanging up the phone, I can't help but shake my head and sigh, regretting the ridiculous things I have done.

Gu Jia's tea factory is doing a booming business, the fragrance of tea spreads far and wide, and orders are pouring in; Zhong Xiaoqin is gaining fame in the online writing world and has become a platinum writer on the website.

Lin Yuan bought a big villa and lived with Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia and the children.

Lin Yuan had previously taken the time to visit Gu Jinghong with Gu Jia. After a few years, Gu Jinghong had come to terms with it. Since his daughter was willing, as long as she was happy, there was no need for him to be a bad person. He thus acquiesced to their relationship.

Lin Yuan also asked Lin Che to recognize Gu Jia as his godmother, and asked Lin Wantang to recognize Zhong Xiaoqin as his godmother, so as to make this big family even closer.

Xu Ziyan was already in elementary school. When he saw his sister calling Lin Yuan "Dad", he gradually understood the relationship between Lin Yuan and his mother.

However, Lin Yuan treated him and his sister equally, and Gu Jia loved him as always. He felt at ease and had nothing to complain about.

On this day, Lin Yuan and his family went on a spring outing.

Lin Wantang clung to her brother Lin Che like a little tail.

But Lin Che was very cocky and thought playing with little girls was too childish.

Lin Che rushed to the stream, grabbed a little frog, and swung it in front of Lin Wantang, scaring her so much that she burst into tears.

Lin Che ignored him completely and ran to the adults excitedly, shouting, "Dad! Mom! Godmother! Look! Its skin is so smooth and has so many patterns on it."

As he spoke, he picked up one of the frog's hind legs and swung it.

"Ah!" Zhong Xiaoqin was so scared that she hid behind Lin Yuan, fearing that her son would fly in front of her. She was most afraid of these little animals.

Although she is already in her thirties, she is still as innocent and naive as ever because she is spoiled by Lin Yuan and Mr. and Mrs. Zhong.

Zhong Xiaoqin stamped her feet and said angrily, “Lin Che! Do you want to be punished?”

Lin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the past, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong had spent more time with Lin Che, so every time Lin Che went out to play, he would think about showing off in front of his parents.

"Don't make your mother angry, throw it away."

Lin Che threw away the frog in his hand and scratched his head.

Zhong Xiaoqin came to Lin Wantang, squatted down and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, don't cry, godmother will feed you sugar, and you can ignore the naughty brother in the future, okay?"

Lin Wantang sobbed and responded in a baby voice: "Okay~"

Lin Che ran to her mother happily and said, "Mom, I want some candy too."

"Nothing."

Gu Jia smiled and touched Lin Che's head: "Godmother has it."
