Chapter 21: Are you addicted to living off others?
Xu Jie helped Su Yun's father back to the bedroom to rest. Although the old man closed his eyes, he kept mumbling, sometimes saying "I'm fine", and sometimes saying "Let's talk for a while". It seemed that he was really drunk.
"Dad is really something. He can't drink much, but he still likes to drink and doesn't even eat." Su Yun returned to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the table full of untouched food, she felt a little disappointed. The show of affection was not very successful.
When Xu Jie heard this, he looked at the other person silently. He didn't know who was the one who kept toasting and pouring wine just now. Now that the person was drunk, he started to blame others. You really are putting justice above your own relatives and even betray your own father.
"Eat your own food, don't worry about him." Zhang Simin put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked into the kitchen, saying, "I'll go cut some fruit for you."
"Mom, don't bother me. Xu Jie and I will leave after dinner." Su Yun said while eating.
"So urgent?" Zhang Simin walked out of the kitchen, eyes full of confusion. She looked at Xu Jie, then at her daughter. Was it because of the poor hospitality?
"It's the end of the year now, and there are a lot of activities going on. Tomorrow I will go to Shanghai to attend an award ceremony, and I need to go home in the afternoon to pack some clothes." Su Yun explained.
Although many activities were cancelled due to the marriage, most of them were promotions for brand endorsements. Some performing arts activities, such as galas and variety shows, were scheduled long in advance. There are more or less personal connections involved, and as long as there is no negative news, they will generally not be cancelled.
In fact, what will be really affected is next year.
Her fans’ unfollowing and endorsements being cancelled will all affect her commercial value. It is still unknown whether TV stations and directors will still choose her.
There is a saying circulating in the entertainment industry: Marriage is risky, so you need to be careful when choosing a partner.
The first half of the sentence is a warning to celebrities, and the second half is a warning to directors.
"You're so busy every day, when will it end?" Zhang Simin felt a little disappointed, but in fact she had a lot to say to her daughter.
Su Yun didn't want to make her mother worry, so she said, "Mom, I've decided that I will reduce my activities next year and stay at home more with you. Just don't think I'm annoying."
Zhang Simin nodded, a hint of relief appeared on her face, and she said gently, "You can't make enough money, there's no need to make yourself so tired. You are already very good. In addition to your career, there are many other things worth pursuing in life."
"Mom, I know. From next year on, I will be a happy person, feeding horses, chopping wood, traveling around the world, facing the sea, and watching the spring flowers bloom." Su Yun said jokingly with a sweet smile.
Zhang Simin smiled, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She walked quickly to the bedroom, and soon came out with two bundles of books. She looked at Xu Jie and said, "Xiao Xu, these are some easy-to-understand history books that will help beginners understand history. Don't forget to take them when you leave later."
Xu Jie hurried forward to take it. It was very heavy, weighing at least 20 to 30 kilograms, and there were at least 30 to 40 books.
Zhang Simin turned around and went back to the bedroom, and quickly took out another bundle. "Here are some books on livestock disease prevention and control. They belong to Su Yun's father. You can take them back too. They may be helpful to your family."
"Thank you, Mom." Xu Jie said gratefully.
He knew that at this moment, Su Yun's mother had completely accepted his existence.
Of course, whether you can get recognition or not, you still need to work hard.
Xu Jie and Su Yun were both drunk, and finally called a temporary driver to drive the car back to the villa. On the way, Xu Jie found a courier station and directly sent all the books back to the village.
…
the next day.
Xu Jie woke up because he had to pee.
He has been sleeping since he came back yesterday, more than fifteen hours. All the fatigue from the past few days has been swept away, and the dark circles under his eyes have disappeared without a trace.
After passing the test of Su Yun’s parents, I felt much more relaxed.
“Crack!”
Just when Xu Jie came out of the bathroom, there was a sound of a door opening outside. He thought it was Su Yun coming back from morning exercise, but he saw Liu Jinghua walking in from outside, followed by Su Yun's assistant Huang Xiaorong.
"How do you have the key to this place?" Xu Jie frowned. Fortunately, it was winter and he was wearing long-sleeved pajamas. If it was summer and he was shirtless, wouldn't he be seen naked ?
"Why can't I have it?" Liu Jinghua asked back confidently, and hung her coat on the clothes rack, as naturally as if she was back home.
"This is my home." Xu Jie said seriously.
“Puff!”
Liu Jinghua burst out laughing after hearing this, "Your home? You've only moved in for a few days and it's already your home? Do you know how big this villa is? Do you know how much this house is worth? Do you know what brand the furniture is and what country the tableware is from? "
Xu Jie snorted coldly and said fearlessly: "Are you ignorant of the law? Don't you know that Su Yun and I have registered our marriage? I am the male owner here."
"Tsk, stop flattering yourself. Are you addicted to living off your wife?" Liu Jinghua said as she looked around as if she was searching for something.
"Oh, are you hinting at me and trying to get my attention? Stop dreaming, I won't chew straw!" Xu Jie smiled.
Liu Jinghua's eyes twitched violently when he heard this.
Rice straw is the stem of rice, which is the rice stalk after threshing. The fiber is very coarse and cannot be eaten by humans. It is generally used as fuel or livestock feed. This is clearly an insult to her for being old and unable to chew it.
"I will break all your teeth out sooner or later, and then we'll see how you can still be stubborn!" Liu Jinghua said harshly while gritting her teeth.
Xu Jie looked at the man and said with a nonchalant smile: "You are just bragging. The human body injury assessment standard states that two broken or missing teeth can constitute a minor injury. If you break all my teeth, you can expect to go to jail."
Liu Jinghua ignored him and walked upstairs quickly.
Xu Jie showed a victorious smile on his face and was about to go back to his room for a nap when he suddenly saw Huang Xiaorong beside him. Then he thought of Liu Jinghua who had just come upstairs... Oh no!
It’s going to be exposed!
He ignored the cohabitation agreement and ran upstairs, taking three steps at a time, shouting as he ran: "Wife, Liu Jinghua is here, wife, Liu Jinghua is here!"
The anxious voice is like seeing a wolf coming!
On the day he moved in with Su Yun, they made it very clear that he would live on the first floor and Su Yun would sleep on the second floor. What would happen if Liu Jinghua found out about this?
Although the two did not hold a wedding, they got a marriage certificate and are considered newlyweds. How can a newlywed couple sleep in separate rooms?
Moreover, Liu Jinghua had doubts about their marriage in the first place. If she saw that there was no change in Su Yun's room, wouldn't she take advantage of the situation and make a big fuss about it?
"Wife!"
Xu Jie rushed to the second floor shouting and found Liu Jinghua already standing outside Su Yun's bedroom door. He didn't even knock on the door, but pushed it open with his hand.
not good!
