My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1385 The Way of Hospitality, Part Two

His mother is right.

You can't persuade her at all. Chen Anxi's mind is very clear, and more importantly, she is full of a sense of control... She likes to control others.

He was unlucky to encounter a woman like this, but Yuan Hong still couldn't understand why the difference between the two women before and after pregnancy was so huge, as if they were completely different people.

He sat back down on the living room sofa, holding his daughter.

The mansion has been completely transformed. The entire renovation has been torn down and rebuilt, changing from the original minimalist style to a Chinese style. To be honest, Yuan Hong still thinks the old style looks better.

This Chinese style is a bit outdated now. It was mainly a style that Chen Anxi and her parents came up with. Chen Anxi's father said that old wood has a soul, so their house became made of mahogany with minimalist white walls, making it a place where you could practice Zen at home.

It was absolutely hideous.

Chen Anxi's father bought a welcoming pine tree from somewhere and placed it in the middle of the balcony, making it inconvenient to walk around. But Chen Anxi actually thought it was nice.

Anyway, a lot of money was spent on the renovation, but I still can't see any effect. I guess the money was all spent on mahogany.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, his mother and aunt went into the kitchen to cook. Perhaps because of the traffic disruptions caused by yesterday's snow, his father had not yet arrived. Today, his family had only invited Zhang You and his wife, and had not invited anyone else.

On the one hand, he was grateful to Zhang You for giving him such a good role, and on the other hand, he wanted his daughter to meet Zhang You's two sons first. It's hard to say what the future holds, but when Zhang You mentioned it at the hospital, he also felt that it might be good to let his daughter and Zhang You's two sons get to know each other better.

Just pretend you have two playmates.

After all, they've known each other for so many years, and he even knew Jiang Yiren before Zhang You.

Even though his marriage with Zhang Yi has ended, Yuan Hong still doesn't want the relationship between the two families to be severed because of this, not because Zhang You is now a capital tycoon... Of course, Yuan Hong does not deny that.

In the entertainment industry, having such connections is beneficial. Even if you don't gain much advantage, it will at least prevent a lot of interference.

Holding his daughter, Yuan Hong walked to the balcony. Through the glass, he saw that many places downstairs in the community were covered with a layer of snow, and some cars that had been temporarily parked downstairs the night before and forgotten to be driven into the garage were also covered with a layer of snow.

It seems that primary schools should have started today. Otherwise, in this kind of weather, there would definitely be a lot of children playing downstairs in the community. Yuan Hong remembers that two years ago, when he came back from filming before the New Year, it was snowing. He leaned on the windowsill and watched a few children setting off firecrackers downstairs.

Before the divorce, before he and Zhang Yi moved here, before Jiang Yiren and her husband moved into that apartment, he would often stay in their old apartment and watch the children playing downstairs.

The timeline seemed to pause for a moment, then proceeded in an unexpected direction.

There are many unexpected things in the entertainment industry. It's not just him and Zhang Yi; there are many others like this. They went from being an enviable celebrity couple to becoming evidence that fans "don't believe in love."

In reality, love is still the same love.

Love has simply changed color, and then the person has changed.

Noticing that his daughter was also looking out the window with her eyes open... Yuan Hong had heard that children this age couldn't see very far, but he wasn't sure if that was true. However, looking into his daughter's eyes, Yuan Hong reached out and hugged her even tighter, his smile growing even brighter.

Chen Anxi is terrible.

But his daughter isn't.

Yuan Hong has yet to meet Zhang You and Jiang Yisheng's two sons, but he guesses that given the couple's good looks, their sons will undoubtedly be impeccably handsome, just like Zhang Zishan.

Years ago, his ex-wife Zhang Yi wanted to take that girl with her. He didn't refuse or say anything at the time. Xiao Zishan was very pretty. Yuan Hong could vaguely see the shadow of Jiang Yiren when she was in college in her appearance. In the blink of an eye, other people's daughter is already in the second grade, while his is still so young.

At this time.

Chen Anxi walked over, took Yuan Yuan from his hand, and turned to leave.

Seeing Chen Anxi's reaction, Yuan Hong knew that what he had said not long ago had upset her, and that she was giving him the cold shoulder. Yuan Hong didn't say anything.

He has already convinced his father.

His mother was still a little unhappy, but Yuan Hong noticed after the New Year that his mother also had a lot of opinions about Chen Anxi. The old lady had kindly changed Yuan Yuan's diapers and even asked his mother to disinfect the area first, so... Thinking about this, Yuan Hong didn't know how to comment.

The main reason is that in all his years in the entertainment industry, he has seen more outrageous people than Chen Anxi. Compared to her, those other female celebrities are just too much.

Her obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness is so severe that she has to disinfect the entire house to keep it clean. When guests arrive, they first have to put on shoe covers and be disinfected. After they leave, she has to disinfect the house again.

If that were all, it would be fine; at most, it would just mean there's a psychological problem.

It's almost pitiful, because she couldn't control the situation herself, and this female celebrity became famous by sleeping with clients, which is just outrageous.

It's hard to associate obsessive-compulsive disorder with sleeping with someone.

But they can manage to balance both, maintaining cleanliness and tidiness while doing *that* kind of thing for resources... This is pretty much what it means to be able to compromise for life, but not to compromise with life itself.

Around 9:30, his father, Yuan Jianguo, arrived carrying a large goose. As for Chen Anxi's parents, they had gone to another city on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to attend the engagement banquet of a relative's son, and were then kept behind by the relative.

Yuan Hong is not one to speculate about others with malicious intent, but he also knows the reason why they are being so polite, mainly because Chen Anxi mentioned this matter to him last year.

This relative was none other than Chen Anxi's aunt. Her aunt's son was dating a girl from Shangcheng. The girl's family demanded that her aunt's family buy a house in Shangcheng. Even though the real estate market has been sluggish in recent years, Yuan Hong still knew how expensive houses in Shangcheng were, with an average price of 20,000 yuan per square meter.

This is the worst location; a better one would cost 50,000 to 60,000. Her aunt bought a 70-square-meter apartment at over 40,000 yuan per square meter, which would cost over 3 million yuan.

Chen Anxi's aunt and uncle were just low-level employees at the company. The couple's combined monthly salary was less than 20,000 yuan, and her son's was around 10,000 yuan. The family's total annual income was about 300,000 yuan. After deducting about 100,000 yuan for living expenses, they would have 200,000 yuan left if things were good, but if things were bad, they wouldn't be able to make a living.

So buying this house required borrowing money from all over the place and taking out a mortgage. Chen Anxi borrowed more than 300,000 yuan. The house was bought, and it was finally renovated at the end of last year.

The rest is much simpler.

Let's get married!
The key is that getting married requires money.

Chen Anxi's relatives had all been borrowed by her aunt. Her son wanted to get married and needed to borrow more money. Coincidentally, Chen Anxi found her boyfriend, a big star.

After her parents visited, her aunt's family became very hospitable and insisted that she stay.
