Huayu 1995

Chapter 260 You're kidding me (Seeking double monthly votes)
If Lin Zhimeng weren't here, Ye Yongshi would think Su Chao was too arrogant.

How could a mere authorization possibly sell for 300,000?

However, in Ye Yongshi's eyes, Su Chao, who was capable of winning over Lin Zhimeng, had been infinitely elevated.

Lin Zhimeng remained completely uninvolved.

She wouldn't think Su Chao was petty just because he haggled over 300,000 yuan.

He wouldn't persuade Yip Wing-sze to record for Su Chao for free just because they have a good relationship.

But feeling upset is definitely a factor.

Seeing Yip Wing-sze inevitably brings to mind that broken home.

Perhaps it was a deliberate attempt to forget, but she could hardly remember her former home anymore.

Su Chao picked up a piece of food and brought it to her lips, and she instinctively opened her mouth and ate it.

She even helped Su Chao peel shrimp.

Looking at them, and recalling Lin Zhimeng's words that "we're not the kind of relationship you think we have," Ye Yongshi felt a pang of jealousy.

I never imagined that Mengmeng was such a hypocrite.

Love is truly a complicated matter.

"Let's record it for 50,000 yuan, we need to cover the cost of meals."

Yip Wing-sze has just joined the little orchestra.

The band's financial situation is worrying, and helping with the recording for free puts them under considerable pressure.

“A pleasure to work with~”

Su Chao did not press the matter further.

Such grand and traditional Chinese music, performed by Hong Kong orchestras before Hong Kong's return to China, actually held considerable significance.

It can also be considered a form of surrender.

In the past few months, Su Chao has become a cultural icon in mainland China, creating a huge wave in the music circles of the mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

It has reached the point where even the authorities are paying attention.

With his new album about to be released, Andy Lau revealed in a media interview that there are two songs written by Su Chao on the album.

One of them is even in Hokkien.

In Taiwan, the provincial government previously faced considerable backlash for banning Andy Lau after he was scheduled to sing "Chinese."

However, Andy Lau's influence is simply too great.

Banning someone for singing just one song makes it seem particularly low.

Upon hearing that Andy Lau was going to sing a Hokkien song, the calls for a ban immediately disappeared.

As a creator, Su Chao has also come into the public eye.

Is Su Chao able to compose Hokkien songs?
What an amazing creator!

Yip Wing-sze's willingness to accept the recording of this instrumental piece also had to take into account the influence of Zheng Zhi on Su Chao.

Generally speaking, people tend to wait until things are clearer after 97 before deciding whether to take this step.

After careful consideration, Yip Wing-sze decided to collaborate.

Where do all these people who are good at getting along with everyone come from?

It's either left or right; ultimately, you have to choose.

The Ye family had no other choice.

That's why Yip Wing-sze was willing to spend 50,000 yuan to record this instrumental piece for Su Chao.

If there are fifty musicians, each of them will receive one thousand yuan.

That's practically the money for a boxed lunch.

The recording involved many types of musical instruments and took more than a day or two, so Lin Zhimeng could only spend her birthday in Hong Kong.

When Lin Zhiqing received the call, she was so angry that she choked up.

Well, when you two were still just starting out, I helped you two get together, but now that you're officially dating, you've completely abandoned your little sister.

Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
A guilty conscience can really hurt.

Lin Zhimeng, clutching her conscience, angrily asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"No, you bumped into it yourself. Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you..."

Su Chao wouldn't stoop so low as to deliberately offend Lin Zhimeng's conscience.

I'm asking who's responsible if it gets damaged.

"dream!"

Lin Zhimeng almost choked up with anger.

"..."

Do you dream?

"This is how it should be combined," Su Chao said, taking something out of his pocket.

Sending out birthday gifts on the bustling streets of Hong Kong.

“I have a watch…”

Lin Zhimeng did not refuse the gift.

“I had a watch before, but you still gave me a Rolex.”

Su Chao now wears a Rolex most of the time.

I only wear the domestic watch that my brothers gave me when I'm filming and it's necessary.

These days, the quality of domestically made watches is top-notch.

"Your watch..."

Lin Zhimeng was speechless to discover that Su Chao had given her the same Rolex.

One men's version and one women's version.

Definitely a matching couple's watch.

"Here, let me put it on for you."

Su Chao gently took off Lin Zhimeng's original watch and put on his new one.

Lin Zhimeng did not refuse.

It was just a birthday present.

But... what's the meaning of not letting go of the watch after putting it on?

Forget it, I'm too tired.

Lin Zhimeng resignedly let Su Chao lead her.

This state continued until he appeared in front of Lin Zhiqing.

"sister!"

Lin Zhiqing hadn't seen her sister for a long time, so she skipped her training class this weekend to welcome her sister's return.

She stood hungry in the cold wind, craning her neck in anticipation.

As a result, she saw her sister and Su Chao holding hands, chatting and laughing, looking extremely happy.

woohoo~
Am I the person you love the most? Why don't you say anything...?

It's so tragic.

What's most disheartening is that she was standing right there at the alley entrance, and these two people walked right past her without even noticing her.

"sister!"

Lin Zhiqing shouted.

She was almost furious.

Su Chao and Lin Zhimeng finally had a chance to look at her.

Oh my, isn't this my sister-in-law (younger sister)? "Qingqing, what are you doing here?"

Lin Zhimeng looked at her younger sister in confusion. "Oh, the wind is so strong, it's blowing tears out of my eyes."

"Sis, can't you see me standing right here waiting for you to come home?"

Lin Zhiqing stomped her foot.

"You're all bundled up like a white bear, who would recognize you!"

Lin Zhimeng remained calm.

The temperature in the capital was already very low in mid-December. It had snowed a couple of days ago, and everything was covered in silver. It wasn't cold when it snowed, but it was cold when the snow melted. So it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Zhiqing was bundled up like a bear.

"Then I'm your sister too. You even said before that you'd recognize me even if I turned to ashes."

Little Red Riding Hood showed some confidence, but she still felt wronged.

"Sunny..."

Su Chao felt that his sister-in-law was being too insensible.

"You...you colluded with my sister, and you didn't even recognize me!"

Little Red Riding Hood decides to hate Su Chao from now on.

They opposed him becoming their brother-in-law.

"Haha," Su Chao patted Lin Zhiqing's head and laughed, "Qingqing, you're so cute. How could we not see you when you're so big? Your sister and I saw you standing here from far away. We agreed to pretend we didn't see you and just tease you."

"Sister," Lin Zhiqing was taken aback, "Really?"

"……Um!"

Lin Zhimeng didn't dare to look her younger sister in the eye.

She definitely didn't see her sister.

Sigh, my little sister is such a big girl, how come she didn't see her?

I didn't say anything special with Su Chao, we just chatted casually.

"Sigh, I didn't expect to make you cry. It was our fault; we shouldn't have made such a joke. We brought you a gift, let's go back and open it quickly!"

Su Chao can lie without even blinking.

"What gift?"

Little Red Riding Hood's attention was already drawn to the gift.

Su Chao did bring back quite a few novel things.

In those days, resources were still scarce in the mainland, and many things simply did not come in.

Su Chao didn't know what Lin Zhiqing liked, but since he had been monopolizing her older sister for more than a month, he simply bought a whole bunch of things with his suitcase.

If the quality is insufficient, make up for it with quantity.

"Wow, wow~ what is this... I like this..."

Lin Zhiqing enjoyed the pleasure of receiving gifts.

She had already forgotten to settle accounts with her heartless sister.

According to her sister's complaints, she's a simple-minded person who can't hold a grudge for more than three days.

However, Lin Zhiqing had too many things to calculate.

A pile of gifts would only last for ten minutes at most; she followed her sister into the kitchen while she was cooking.

"Sis, are you two really together?"

Little Red Riding Hood was stunned when she saw the newspaper.

Although her sister was wearing a hat and glasses in the photo, she recognized her immediately.

Su Chao admitted to the relationship, and her sister was sitting right next to her.

Surprisingly, there was no objection.

"Didn't I say on the phone before that it was just a temporary measure? The Hong Kong media are relentlessly pursuing this, so I'm helping him divert attention."

Lin Zhimeng almost cut her finger.

"Wait a minute, I saw you two holding hands as you came back. Do you know that if you had done that twenty years ago, you might have been convicted of hooliganism?"

Lin Zhiqing was almost persuaded by this female hooligan.

"That's for others to see, because I'm worried about paparazzi nearby."

Lin Zhimeng was extremely embarrassed.

She's innocent too, okay?

It's all that bastard Su Chao's fault. He keeps holding her hand and putting his arm around her waist. After more than a month, she's gotten used to it.

"You're kidding me, there are no paparazzi in mainland China."

Lin Zhiqing was smart for once.

"Have you forgotten? Su Chao and the Princess went to the teahouse together, and they were photographed by Hong Kong paparazzi. There are quite a few Hong Kong paparazzi here in the capital."

Lin Zhimeng could easily fool her sister.

After all, they've been deceiving people since they were little.

"Wait a minute, sis, when did you buy this watch?"

I was almost convinced.

Suddenly she noticed the watch on her sister's wrist; she had never seen this watch before.

Although the two sisters are wealthy, they do not live a lavish lifestyle.

She knew her sister's watches very well, and had even worn some of them herself, but this Rolex women's watch looked brand new.

"Ah, I made some money in Hong Kong this time, so I just bought one on a whim. Isn't it pretty? You can wear it for a few days if you want."

Lin Zhimeng was busy cooking and didn't dare to look at her sister's face.

"Sis, your watch is the same model as Su Chao's. How did you just buy it on a whim...? I've discovered that being in love really does lower your IQ..."

Lin Zhiqing looked disgusted.

I constantly remind myself not to be love-obsessed.

Look at what you've done.

He borrowed money, bought her a Rolex, and left his beautiful, lovely, and sensible younger sister, a senior in high school, to go to Hong Kong...

Which one of them isn't driven by romantic feelings?

"Lin Zhiqing, do you believe I'll chop you into dumpling filling and get out of here?"

Lin Zhimeng was furious.

The boomerang hit her face, and she felt a sharp pain.

"I'm going to find my brother-in-law!"

Lin Zhiqing snorted.

Su Chao ate lunch at the Lin family's house.

He easily coaxed Lin Zhiqing into calling him "brother-in-law" with just a few words.

Lin Zhimeng offered a dry explanation, but her sister and boyfriend ignored her, preoccupied with discussing how many tables to have for the wedding and how much dowry to give her sister-in-law.

Then Su Chao and Little Red Riding Hood were kicked out of the house.

The door slammed shut behind them.

As the cold wind blew in, the two goofballs finally realized who was in charge of the household.

Little Red Riding Hood had no choice but to go to the training center for classes.

Su Chao drove her there, and then they went to the advertising company.

He arranged to meet with Sister Hong and Yan Siyuan, but the karaoke bar was too crowded and no longer suitable.
