Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 204 How many sisters-in-law do I actually have?

Cao Jian's trip to Europe was originally just to spend a vacation with Wang Fei.

Unexpectedly, I met the author of "Harry Potter" on the train.

Since the other party wants to sign a contract, they are probably worried that I might back out of the $30,000 donation later, so signing a contract is the best option.

After agreeing on the collaboration, the three of them stopped talking about the novel on the way, with Wang Fei and J.K. Rowling discussing their parenting experiences.

Rowling became a mother last August and has a daughter who is less than a year old.

Wang Fei is also an expectant mother, and the two hit it off as they chatted. Before they knew it, they had arrived in Porto.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Cao Jian quickly called his lawyer in the United States and asked him to draft a copyright contract and fax it to the hotel.

On the way, he had already considered the issue of film copyright.

Fearing that offering too much might give J.K. Rowling other ideas, they wrote down a price of $500,000.

“Ms. Rowling, making a movie is a very risky business. As long as the book is well-written, I will buy the film adaptation rights for $500,000. Don’t think it’s too little.”

"That's already a lot, thank you so much, Mr. Cao."

Rowling was unaware of the future of her book and thought that Cao Jian had given her too much money—$500,000.

"You're thanking me?"

Cao Jian smiled inwardly: "This is what I deserve. If the movie does well at the box office, I will thank you even more."

"Then I'll write it well."

With the help of this Chinese person, J.K. Rowling was able to turn her favorite stories into words, which made her very happy.

After both parties signed the contract, Cao Jian glanced at the name on it, took out 30,000 US dollars, and handed it to the other party.

"Here is thirty thousand US dollars. If it's not enough, you can call me."

"That's enough, that's enough."

"Try to finish writing the book as soon as possible, and I'll find someone to help you publish it."

"Thank you."

The two reached an agreement, had a meal together, and then parted ways.

"Honey, the story Ms. Rowling told was really interesting, but could it really be made into a movie?"

"Don't forget, I'm the screenwriter, I feel confident."

Cao Jian smiled, but Emma's image flashed through his mind.

That little girl must be only four years old. If we're really going to make this movie, we'll have to wait until she's a bit older. Otherwise, the film will lack its soul without her.
With this unexpected gain, Cao Jian was in high spirits, and even ordinary scenery became beautiful during the rest of the journey.

However, upon arriving in Paris, the infamous Seine River, with its notorious stinking ditch, became unbearable for both him and Wang Fei once again.

"Let's go to the United States."

Cao Jian was a little disappointed. So far, only a few small countries like Spain and Portugal had been alright.

Other countries are really a bit disappointed.

Paris, in particular, is known as the city of romance, but it's actually brimming with hormones.

What is considered romantic is simply sexual openness.

Disappointed, the two flew directly from Paris to Los Angeles.

Cao Jian's film and television company is located here, and the room rented by the company is just right for Wang Fei to live in.

He also found a Filipino and Chinese nanny for Wang Fei to take care of the pregnant woman and made arrangements with a hospital.

"Honey, I'll be here in two weeks at most."

It was already late April. Cao Jian went to Guangzhou to hold a concert, and then came to the United States to film "Rumble in the Bronx".

Leveraging Jackie Chan's fame, the film crew had already prepared a shooting location here and even borrowed an inflatable boat.

"I know, you go ahead with your work, I'm fine."

After a ten-day trip, Wang Fei was already very happy and didn't want to keep clinging to her man.

After settling Wang Fei in, the hardworking Cao Jian immediately returned to Guangzhou.

"Your belly is already starting to swell."

Upon arriving in Guangzhou, Boss Cao's first priority was naturally to visit Yang Yuying, who was pregnant with her second child.

I don't think so.

Yang Yuying, noticing her pregnant belly, leaned happily against Cao Jian and said, "Honey, where do you think we should give birth to this baby? If we give birth in China, it'll be difficult to register the child's birth, won't it? We're celebrities, after all."

"Go to Hong Kong."

Cao Jian had planned this all along.

In mainland China in the 1990s, although registering one's household registration could be done by spending some money.

But Yang Yuying was already a popular sweet girl all over the country, with a sweet voice and beautiful appearance. If people found out that she had a baby, who knows how the newspapers would report it.

Going to Hong Kong would be a bit better.

"I want to go to the United States."

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuying expressed her thoughts: "Now all the rich people are going to the United States. If our children are born in the United States, they will be American citizens, and their future will definitely be better."

I still prefer China.

Wang Fei is already in the US. If Yang Yuying goes there too, I'll probably have to become a time management master.

Besides, what's so great about the US? Hong Kong is just as good, and excellent in every way.

However, the current trend of going abroad is indeed serious.

This only shows that our country still needs to develop.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuying posed another difficult question to Cao Jian: "Giving birth in Hong Kong is fine, so how about we go to Hong Kong together this time?"

"You're only three months pregnant, isn't it a bit early to go now?"

Cao Jian hesitated and said, "Besides, I'm going to the US to film a movie soon, and I can't accompany you when you go to Hong Kong."

Yang Yuying said, "I want to see your concert."

"You know all this?"

Cao Jian was taken aback. His concert was being held in Hong Kong, and since the internet wasn't as developed then, it shouldn't have been easy for mainlanders to go to Hong Kong.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuying, who lives in Guangzhou, knew about my concert.

"Your fans all know that I'm one of your fans too. How about I be your guest and sing a song for you?"

"You're pregnant, so don't upset the baby."

How dare Cao Jian let Yang Yuying go on stage?
At that time, all the women he has a relationship with, except for Wang Fei, will be sitting in the audience.

"Ok."

Yang Yuying smiled sweetly: "It's okay if you don't sing. I'll just come to cheer you on. I can't refuse this time."

"Row."

Since the woman he loved had said so, Cao Jian had no choice but to agree.

Regarding the concert, I should try my best to keep her from knowing about the existence of other women.

At the end of April, Cao Jian, who had traveled all over the world, returned to Hong Kong.

This time when he came back, he not only brought Yang Yuying with him, but also his cousin Cao Wei.

Bringing her cousin along was to prevent Yang Yuying from running into other women.

May 1st, a Sunday, is also Labor Day holiday.

The news that Cao Jian would be holding a concert on this day had already caused a sensation in Hong Kong.

Before it even got dark, countless fans flocked to the Hong Kong Stadium.

The stadium has just been renovated and can hold more than 50,000 people, but even so, some people still can't buy tickets.

But they just wanted to cheer for their idol from outside the door, even if it was just to hear the voices from inside.

In the evening, Cao Jian, who was preparing to head to the concert venue, began to instruct Cao Wei: "Your task tonight is to protect Sister-in-law Yang Yuying, and also, don't let her go backstage, and don't let her wander around."

"Brother, are you afraid that this sister-in-law will meet other sisters-in-law?"

Cao Wei smiled mischievously: "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let your sister-in-law wander off or run into anyone else."

"You still need to be careful. Your positions are all at the very front, and not far apart."

Apart from Wang Fei being unable to attend due to being in the United States, Zhou Huimin, Wang Zuxian, Chen Hong, Zhu Yin, Chen Derong, Yuan Jieying, and even Lin Xinru and Li Xiaoran all came to cheer her on at this concert.

There were over a hundred seats in the front row, and these women occupied seven or eight of them.

Although there were many spaces between these women, what if Yang Yuying saw a celebrity, or the celebrity saw Yang Yuying and wanted to say hello? Wouldn't that be disastrous?

"Who are they?"

Cao Wei, intrigued, laughed and said, "Brother, tell me, let me be envious."

"It features the most beautiful ghost, Nie Xiaoqian."

"Hey bro, these are my sisters-in-law."

"Seventh Sister-in-law".

"Seventh Sister-in-law? How many sisters-in-law do I actually have?"

Cao Wei's jaw almost dropped.

He had seen many of Wang Zuxian's movies and naturally knew of her beauty. He never expected that this beautiful star was actually only the seventh sister-in-law.

He hurriedly asked, "Who are the other six sisters-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law, you know that my second sister-in-law gave birth in the United States and is a singer, and my third sister-in-law is the beautiful actress Vivian Chow. I've told you about her before."

Cao Jian counted on his fingers: "Fourth Sister-in-law is Xiao Donggua in 'Tai Chi Master Zhang Sanfeng,' Fifth Sister-in-law is Yinshuang in 'Plum Blossom Mark,' and you might not know Sixth Sister-in-law, but she played Diaochan, one of the Four Beauties, in CCTV's 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' which is probably going to air soon."

He was actually being conservative, saying that three or four people weren't included.

"Damn, bro, you're even better than Wei Xiaobao."

Cao Wei was even more shocked. The beauties his cousin had mentioned were not only stunningly beautiful, but each one also had their own unique charm, making them the envy of many.

"hehe."

Although Cao Jian enjoyed the blessings of having multiple wives, he was sometimes troubled and said, "Because you have so many wives, you must be careful this time."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your sister-in-law. I'll make sure he doesn't meet with any other sisters-in-law."

"I believe you."

Cao Jian patted the other man on the shoulder, hoping that the flag he had set wouldn't lead to any unexpected events.

Just then, Cao Wei blurted out, "Brother, in a few years, will I have even more sisters-in-law?"
