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

Chapter 319 Lin Yuan's Wedding
Shamao Lane.

Joe's house.

"Someone like you wants to be a star? You look more like a theatrical performer."

Qiao Zuwang cracked sunflower seeds, spitting the shells on the ground with a look of disdain and contempt, relentlessly attacking his daughter.

This doesn't even qualify as admonishing his daughter to turn back from her misguided path; it's purely a display of harsh words and indifference.

"What happens to Si Mei is none of your business." Qiao Yicheng frowned as he looked at Qiao Zuwang, even though he disagreed with Si Mei's idea.

He hadn't even settled accounts with Qiao Simei for going to Yanjing to see a concert without permission, and now she was thinking about becoming a so-called star. He knew his own sister's limitations, and even with Lin Yuan's protection, he still thought it was unrealistic.

Moreover, given Qiao Simei's trouble-making nature, who knows how much chaos she would cause without him as her older brother.

But he couldn't stand Qiao Zuwang pointing fingers and giving orders from the sidelines.

Qiao Zuwang only thinks of himself and is selfish by nature. He has always ignored his children and left the burden of taking care of his younger siblings to Qiao Yicheng. Qiao Yicheng has to act as both father and mother to him. Now that he has grown up, he will naturally not let Qiao Zuwang control him as he did when he was a child.

Qiao Zuwang glared at him and roared, "Who's the father here, you or me? I haven't even asked you to support me yet."

Qiao Yicheng ignored him and looked at Qiao Simei, "I haven't even held it against you for going to the concert this time. Stop causing trouble and go back to work at the binding factory."

He had someone find that job at the street bookbinding factory for Si Mei.

"That's more like it," Qiao Zuwang chimed in, secretly thinking that he'd have more spare money to drink once his children were all earning money.

Qiao Simei pleaded with a pained expression, "Big brother, I've been reading Qiong Yao's novels since I was little, and I know all the plots inside. If I could become an actress and play these roles, I'm sure I could do them well."

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, many of Qiong Yao's works were adapted into TV series, which became popular all over the country. Qiao Simei longed to be like that.

"Qiao Simei, you think you can become an actress just by reading a few novels? Don't you want to fly to the moon?" Qiao Yicheng frowned even more. "If you don't want your older brother's white hair to sprout everywhere, you should go back to work quietly."

"Brother, you can't take away my dream! I don't want to work in a bookbinding factory for the rest of my life."

Lin Yuan and Qiao Sanli remained silent, watching quietly from the side. Seeing this, Lin Yuan gently tugged at Qiao Sanli's wrist and led her away from the Qiao family.

Qiao Simei is very beautiful, but whether she has any talent in acting is uncertain. So, whether she can become a leading actress is still unknown.

Lin Yuan was simply giving Qiao Simei a chance to try.

At that time, people ultimately judged actors based on their acting skills, unlike in later generations when popularity and traffic were paramount.

It doesn't matter if every film or TV series adapted into a later version flops, because there are die-hard fans—no, true fans—who will buy it. Even knowing it's historical fact, they'll watch it ten or eight times, just to get more views.

Just as the two reached the door, Qiao Yicheng's footsteps followed them out.

"Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan stopped walking, and Qiao Sanli also turned around.

I'd like to speak with you privately for a couple of minutes.

Qiao Sanli first looked at Lin Yuan, who nodded slightly, then looked at Qiao Yicheng, and turned to go home.

As Qiao Yicheng watched Qiao Sanli's retreating figure, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him. Over the years, Sanli had ultimately become closer to Lin Yuan.

He composed himself, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for bringing Si Mei back."

Lin Yuan said calmly, "I just happened to see it in Yanjing and brought it back on the way. It's nothing."

Qiao Yicheng took out his wallet from his pocket: "How much was the travel fare? I'll pay you back."

"Six hundred."

Qiao Yicheng's eyebrows twitched: "Why are there so many?"

“We took a plane,” Lin Yuan explained, “but this was my treat for Si Mei. I didn’t expect her to pay me back, after all, she’s San Li’s younger sister. If you feel bad about it, you can pay her back if you want.”

"Of course I have to pay it back. Here's two hundred. Please give me some more time to pay the rest." Qiao Yicheng's tone was stubborn as he counted out two hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it over. "Also, I don't want Si Mei to become an actress."

“What’s the use of you telling me this? You have to tell Si Mei this.” Lin Yuan looked at him. “Also, you should know Si Mei’s personality better than I do. Once she’s made up her mind, she’ll try even if she hits a brick wall.”

Qiao Yicheng frowned even more: "That's why I specifically told you. As long as you don't hire her into the company, she'll have no other options and won't keep dreaming."

"It's no use. Si Mei has grown up and has her own ideas. She didn't know before, but now that she does, how can she be content without trying? If she can't get into a big company, she'll go to a small company. If the small company doesn't want her, she'll become an extra. If that happens, it'll be safer with me looking after her. As for whether she can do it for a long time, that depends on her own abilities."

Qiao Yicheng suddenly stared at him, his tone carrying a complicated meaning: "You are the one I worry about the most."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Qiao Yicheng said, half seriously and half helplessly, "You've already taken one of my sisters away. I don't want you to take another one away."

Lin Yuan is too outstanding. He is really afraid that his sister will not be able to resist Lin Yuan's charm and will plunge headlong into the whirlpool of love. That would be a complete waste of her years.

Lin Yuan chuckled, but his tone was very serious: "Sanli is Sanli, and Simei is Simei. I'm only giving Simei a chance out of respect for Sanli. Whether she goes or not is up to you to decide. If she comes, I'll accept it; if she doesn't, I won't force her."

After saying that, he turned around and went home.

Inside the room, Qiao Sanli was sitting on the bed holding Qiuqiu. When she saw him come in, she looked up and asked, "Brother, what did Big Brother say to you?"

Lin Yuan replied, "He paid for my Si Mei's plane ticket and also talked to me about Si Mei."

“Actually, it’s better if Si Mei doesn’t come.” Qiao Sanli leaned closer to him, her voice soft. “She’s wild. If she really came, she would probably cause you a lot of trouble.”

Lin Yuan patted her head, just as Qiao Sanli patted the ball in her arms, "Sanli is still the most worry-free."

Qiao Sanli closed her eyes comfortably, letting his palm gently stroke her hair.

……

When Qiao Sanli returned to school to fill out her college application, she chose universities in Nanjing and majors such as accounting and finance. The reason was simple: Qiao Sanli hoped that she could join Lin Yuan's company after graduation and use her knowledge to help Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan readily agreed.

In early August, the admission letter from Nanjing University arrived at my home.

Holding the admission notice, Lin Yuan teased her half-jokingly, "Once you graduate, you can come to my company and help me manage the accounts."

Qiao Sanli had a bright smile and her eyebrows were curved. She had no ambition, no ideals, and no aspirations. She just wanted to spend more time with Lin Yuan in the future.

"Brother, let's go catch fireflies tonight, just like we did when we were kids," she suggested, tilting her head back, her voice brimming with excitement.

……

Wu Xiulan, of course, did not show favoritism and also held a lively banquet for her adopted daughter's college admission.

Lin Yuan spent some time with Xiang Nanfang and Chang Xingyu before rushing back to Yanjing.

First, he ran his own leg as a torchbearer, and then he stood on the field of the Asian Games.

He wants to use a victory to announce his return to the sports world.

Asian athletes are generally considered to be slightly inferior in sprinting, and Lin Yuan did not exert his full strength. Even though his time was less than ten seconds, he still easily won the championship.

Lin Yuan, dressed in his Dream Horse sportswear, stood on the podium, which undoubtedly caused a media sensation once again.

And the Mengma brand has also taken advantage of this momentum to make a name for itself in China.

……

In October, Lin Yuan returned to Nanjing.

Wen Ju'an has already enrolled at Nanjing University of Finance and Economics.

Thinking that he hadn't seen Wen Ju'an since she came to Nanjing to attend university, he went to her school.

The young girl now not only knows that Ma Suqin's son is Lin Yuan's, but she also knows that Lin Yuan has several girlfriends at the same time. These things, of course, came from Wen Xue.

It's obviously strange for a guy to have several girlfriends at the same time.

If it were any other boy dating multiple girls, Wen Ju'an would definitely think that boy was a womanizer and not faithful.

But if it's Brother Lin Yuan...

However, she was still a little angry, angry that her brother Lin Yuan didn't take her with him, acting like a wooden doll.

The video arcade was dimly lit, with only the light from the screen flickering on and off.

Wen Ju'an didn't watch the movie. She looked at Lin Yuan with a gentle gaze unique to young girls, her red lips curving into a beautiful arc with a faint smile.

"Why are you watching me instead of watching the movie?" Lin Yuan turned his head away, his tone quite unromantic.

"Brother Lin Yuan, I want to be with you..."

Lin Yuanyi interrupted him sternly, saying, "You're still in school. Stop daydreaming all day long. Studying is the most important thing."

He could do whatever he wanted with others, but not with Wen Ju'an.

Wen Ju'an said with dissatisfaction, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"I know what you're going to say even though you haven't finished."

Wen Ju'an suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, looked up at him and retorted, "Stop lying to me. You're my age and you're already dating Sister Xingyu. You even pretended to promise me that you wouldn't date, and I didn't even blame you for lying to me."

"I was wrong about this, but I made it up to you later, didn't I? I've always thought of you as a little sister, so don't keep thinking about these things..."

Lin Yuan was interrupted by a soft sound before he could finish speaking.

Time flies, and it was summer of 1991 in the blink of an eye.

6 month 30 day.

Lin Yuan and Chang Xingyu have just graduated with their master's degrees.

They got married that day.

From school uniform to wedding dress, it took a full ten years to complete this journey.

Three years of high school, four years of undergraduate studies, and three years of graduate studies.

On this day, countless young girls secretly grieved.

How could her dream man have married so young?

At the wedding banquet, Chang Xingyu wore a bright red wedding dress, looking stunning and captivating everyone present.

Qiao Sanli, Sun Xiaomo, He Qinghuan, Wen Ju'an and others looked at Chang Xingyu with envy.

Xiang Nanfang was a little better off; she was hopeful because she knew that this day would come for her too, and to avoid suspicion, she didn't even attend the wedding.

Ma Suqin also did not participate; she stayed home with her child.

After Lin Yuan and Chang Xingyu arranged for the guests to be seated and the banquet began, they disappeared for a long time.

At this moment, the two of them were in a storage room in the hotel.

At this moment, Chang Xingyu was biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, and her forehead was covered in sweat, as if she was enduring great pain.

Lin Yuan was like a tireless and diligent old ox, doing his duty.

Fortunately, the hotel food was delicious, which diverted everyone's curiosity, though occasionally people whispered about where the newlyweds had gone.

More than half an hour later, the two of them appeared together and began to toast each table.

After the marriage, the young couple naturally moved in together, and Lin Yuan returned to Sha Mao Lane less and less often.

This made Qiao Sanli feel a little sad. The two of them, whose relationship had become ambiguous after Lin Yuan was injured and hospitalized, seemed to be slowly returning to their former state with this marriage.

It seems that she can only continue to be the obedient and well-behaved younger sister in front of Lin Yuan, and can no longer play and joke with him as she pleases.

After graduating from university, Xiang Nanfang went to Yenching University to study at the Central Party School, and she still planned to go into politics in the future.

Lin Yuan naturally did not oppose this.

Sun Xiaomo remained Lin Yuan's personal secretary, while Ma Suqin and He Qinghuan were out "expanding their territory".

On the other hand, after graduating, Chang Xingyu went to work at a television station.

Now that they were married, Lin Yuan naturally went all out, and thanks to his efforts, Chang Xingyu became pregnant with his child not long after the marriage.

The Lin and Chang families were very excited when they heard the news and busied themselves choosing baby products.

This left Chang Xingyu somewhat disappointed, as she hadn't really enjoyed her married life as a couple yet.

Without saying a word, Lin Yuan took Chang Xingyu on a trip while her pregnancy was still in its early stages.

As her flat stomach gradually became rounder, she radiated maternal glow, making Lin Yuan love her even more.

"You can't just think about the baby, you have to think about yourself too. You also need to have a proper lifestyle during pregnancy."

"I don't want to. You're only doing this for yourself."

Even if you misunderstand me, I will still repay kindness with ingratitude. I'm coming.

1992, April 5.

Chang Xingyu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for Lin Yuan.

The older sister was named Lin Ya, and the younger brother was named Lin Hui.

Anyone who has had a baby knows that children are so "torturous" that you can hardly get a full night's sleep.

Not to mention twins, if one cries, the other will cry too.

Every night, the two of them had to each take turns comforting one child.

After calming the baby down, Chang Xingyu nestled in Lin Yuan's arms, her voice full of concern, "You still have to participate in the competition later, why don't you let Mom come and take care of the baby? You can focus on your training, you haven't been training much lately."

"Don't worry, I'm a genius, I don't need training. But once I leave home, Mom will have to come and help you for a while."

Chang Xingyu frowned slightly: "Is it okay if I don't participate?"

Although Lin Yuan has recovered well, he is still far from his peak. If he doesn't perform well this time, his reputation and image will inevitably be affected.

Competitive sports are always about new players replacing the old, and in just a few short years, many new faces have emerged on the international stage. Some foreign players have even publicly stated: "I would rather face Lin in his best form; it would be more interesting to beat him in that state."

Although many people criticized him for being shameless, everyone knows that Lin Yuan had suffered a serious injury and was not in good condition as before. Besides, Lin Yuan's world record is there for all to see. If you have the ability, go and break it.

But this simple provocation worked. Everyone in China was hoping that Lin Yuan could make another run at the Olympics and give these foreigners a good slap in the face.

Lin Yuan tightened his arms, holding her even closer: "Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure about. Go to sleep."

After all, his mission in coming to this world was to become famous, and he was looking forward to what kind of rewards he would receive.

P.S.: This should be the last chapter or two.

They will accept it, they will accept it, they will accept it.
