Huayu: When the director changed his major

Another two weeks have passed, and it's now early September.

The day when filming officially wraps up in New York is not far off.

Since the recent filming has mostly consisted of non-critical scenes, Cheng Xi was happy to let Xin Yukun handle most of the filming work.

They call it cultivating independent operational capabilities.

Today is an important day for Cheng Xi.

Because his parents finally got their visas and came to the United States with his cousin.

The night before, Cheng Xi had some trouble sleeping.

One reason is that I haven't seen my parents for a long time.

The two of them came mainly to see Li Xiaoran and her granddaughter.

I can imagine my mom scolding me to death.

Cheng Xi originally wanted to bring Cheng Xiao along to greet them, to shield himself from the criticism.

But considering that he still had to go to Li Xiaoran's place later, he gave up on the idea.

It's better if fewer people know about this.

So he came to greet her alone, accompanied by his driver and bodyguard, He Kun.

At first, I was fine when I saw myself, but my mom had a long face.

My cousin, on the other hand, greeted me happily.

Sure enough, after getting in the car, Mom gave Cheng Xi a hard flick on the forehead!

"Nobody cares about you, you're becoming more and more lawless!"

My dad has always been protective of his own, the type of mom who's like a tiger and dad who's like a cat.

But this time he didn't dare to speak up for himself, because what he did this time was a bit too much.

My cousin looked at me with her sly eyes and suddenly asked:

"Brother, how many sisters-in-law do I actually have?"

"Children shouldn't ask too many questions."

"What do you mean 'little kid'? I've already graduated and started working!"

"Well, you wouldn't understand adult matters anyway."

Cheng Xi's mother, Li Guiqin, had calmed down a bit, but hearing her son say that made her fury flare up again.

I knocked again.

"Yes, you're an adult. How can you set a good example for your younger sister by doing something like this?"

"Uh, Mom, it's me."

Unable to defend himself, Cheng Xi had no choice but to remain silent.

My mom kept nagging me, while my cousin kept adding fuel to the fire.

He Kun, who was driving in the front seat, saw this scene through the rearview mirror.

I felt a pang of emotion:

So this is another side of the boss.

No matter how much money you make, it's all just a little brother in front of your own mother.

Unable to move at all.

Cousin: "Brother, I really like Wu Qian. Could you help me get his autograph?"

Cheng Xi was taken aback and looked at her cousin.

"What kind of taste do you have? You could like anyone else but him!"

Although Cheng Xi said that, she also knew that before Kris Wu was criticized, many girls liked him.

Including some of my former colleagues.

Especially after he starred in "Mr. Six" and sang "Big Bowl Wide Noodles", he attracted a large number of female fans.

While saying things like "My brother has such a broad vision," they actually put a serious song into music for "Big Bowl Wide Noodles," which everyone was mocking, and even made fun of the memes themselves.

In Cheng Xi's opinion, his acting skills are a negative number.

However, the marketing campaign for "Big Bowl Wide Noodles" was actually quite good.

Otherwise, Lei Jun wouldn't have chosen her to be the spokesperson for Xiaomi.

However, signing is signing; breaking the law and committing crimes makes one a piece of trash.

"Brother, are you jealous of my Kris Wu? He's a great actor, a fantastic singer, and his rap is top-notch. He's way better than you, you womanizer!"

Cheng Xi: “.”

Cheng Xi was so angry at her cousin's words that she was practically fuming.

She was already at her wits' end with her mother, so she took it out on her cousin, giving her a flick on the head, just like her mother did.

"No matter what, you can't like him. You can choose anyone else, or you'll have to give back all the autographs I got for you before."

"No! Auntie, my brother is bullying me."

But Mom is sensible; she knows Cheng Xi must have a reason for saying that.

After glaring at Cheng Xi, he still said to his cousin:

"Your brother must know a lot about this in the entertainment industry. This guy, Fan, might not be up to the task. Your brother wouldn't do anything to harm you in this regard."

"All right."

After driving for more than an hour, we finally arrived at the apartment building where Li Xiaoran lived.

After leading everyone upstairs, the two families finally met.

They exchanged polite greetings at first, and it was clear that not only Cheng Xi, but also Li Xiaoran was very nervous.

Cheng Xi could only hold Da Ran's hand tightly and whisper:

"It's okay, my parents are very easy to talk to, and my dad is even a fan of yours."

First, Mom and Dad sincerely apologized, then promised that they would make Cheng Xi treat Li Xiaoran well and give their granddaughter the best protection, etc.

Towards the end, Mom even shed tears:

"Father-in-laws, it's my fault for not disciplining that boy properly. I'm so sorry!"

Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoran took the initiative to sit next to Li Guiqin.

"Mom, I don't blame Cheng Xi. He's been very good to me. Don't be sad! I'll take good care of our daughter with Cheng Xi."

Li Guiqin then said emotionally:

"Alright, alright, if Cheng Xi ever bullies you again, just tell me, and I'll make him pay."

The meeting between the two families was a close call, and Cheng Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Li Xiaoran is also going to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon.

Even though my parents can't understand English, they still insist on going with me, saying that they can only feel at ease that way.

At the hospital, he followed Li Xiaoran around attentively the whole time, taking meticulous care of her.

Li Xiaoran was finally relieved; it seemed her future mother-in-law was on her side.

The two will almost never live together again.

There shouldn't be any conflict.

Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression gradually relaxed.

Everything is settled now, and all that's left is to wait for my daughter to be born healthy.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but place her hand on her bulging belly again, a maternal smile spreading across her face.

After discussion, the two companies decided to allow Li Xiaoran to produce in the United States without interference.

If we're in China and get influenced by public opinion or bystanders, it would be a huge loss.

After all, Li Xiaoran is no longer young.

Childbirth itself carries certain risks.

After returning from the checkup, Cheng Xi's mother said:

"In-laws, why don't you suggest a name for the child?"

Li Xiaoran's parents thought for a moment, then looked at Li Xiaoran, who was stroking her belly, and said:

"Why don't we let Xiaoran come and pick it up? Being a mother is the hardest job~"

Li Guiqin nodded in agreement.

But Li Xiaoran held Cheng Xi's hand tightly, her eyes fixed on him:
"Let Da Cheng take it. He's the head of the family, and I'll listen to him."

After saying that, she leaned sweetly against Cheng Xi's arm.

Upon seeing this, everyone first shook their heads, then smiled knowingly.

Cheng Xi's mother, in particular, had her eyes crinkled into slits with laughter.

Cousin: "Brother, you're so lucky."

Cheng Xi chuckled as he listened, and after thinking for a while, said:
"How about we name him Cheng Guo?"

“Cheng Guo. Our achievement,” Li Xiaoran murmured.

"Da Cheng, I like this name."

Then Li Xiaoran touched her belly and said:
"Cheng Guo, Cheng Guo, I hope you grow up healthy!" (End of Chapter)
