Chapter 5 Am I proud?
Buzz buzz buzz!
Xu Jie was browsing the news online while taking out his vibrating cell phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately became nervous and his mind was in a mess.
It’s mom!!!
When he was dating Tang Fei, his mother had no idea about it. Now that Su Yun has released the photos so openly, there is no way his mother doesn't know.
It’s not like there’s no internet in the village.
He glanced at his colleagues around him and felt that this was not the place to talk, so he quickly got up and left the office, hiding in the bathroom to answer the phone.
"Mom, what's going on?"
"You still know you have a mother?"
The roar of a middle-aged woman came out of the microphone, making Xu Jie's ears buzz.
Ever since he left home and rented a house outside, what he was most worried about was his mother's health. Now that he heard that his mother was so energetic, he felt relieved.
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it calmly. There's no need to get angry. Anger is harmful to your health." While Xu Jie was trying to calm his mother, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation next.
"I have worked hard to raise pigs for more than 20 years, but someone just took them away for cabbage. How can I not be angry?"
“…”
Xu Jie is not a person who can be easily moved, but at this moment he felt like tears welling up in his eyes.
My real mother, this is definitely my real mother!
Now the whole Internet is saying that the cabbages are eaten by pigs, but only my mother has the insight to see through everything and knows that it is the cabbages that have taken the pigs away.
So wise!
"Mom, I actually wanted to give you a surprise." Xu Jie felt that he couldn't let his mother down, so he said seriously, "Didn't you say that your aunt always showed off how great her daughter-in-law was in front of you? I thought that I had never brought you any honor since I was a child, so I must bring you honor in the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law. So I have been holding back for the past two years, and I want to save a big trick to give you a surprise."
Wang Guizhi originally wanted to raise an eyebrow and ask for an explanation, but after hearing what her son said, her anger immediately subsided. Perhaps she had really put too much pressure on her son, and in the end, her son gave her a miracle.
"I'm happy, but for such a big thing as getting a marriage certificate, you should at least ask for my and your father's opinions, right?" she said.
Her son got married, but as a mother, she was not aware of it and didn’t even know who her daughter-in-law was. If her employees hadn’t been talking about it, she would have been kept in the dark.
"Don't you agree with me getting married?" Xu Jie asked.
"I agree, but there's no need to be so anxious, right?" The matter happened so suddenly that Wang Guizhi couldn't accept it for a while.
"You have to be quick, Mom. Your son is just a small reporter with no special skills. He finally managed to fool a female star, and we must get the marriage certificate quickly to prevent any changes. If the Internet technology is not so advanced now, I would have wanted to bring a grandson back to you directly." Xu Jie talked nonsense in a serious manner.
Wang Guizhi thought about it carefully and felt that what her son said made sense, so she slowly tried to accept the reality, "Since we have obtained the marriage certificate, and tomorrow is the weekend, bring the person back to your father and me."
Xu Jie was startled and said quickly, "Not tomorrow. I have a mission at the station these days and can't go back. Let's talk about it after this period of time."
He didn’t even know where Su Yun was, how could he bring her home?
"No!" Wang Guizhi got angry again, "If you don't have time during the day, just go back at night. How can a son get married and a mother never even see her daughter-in-law?"
"I understand. You want to meet your daughter-in-law, right?" Xu Jie asked.
"Yeah." Wang Guizhi felt that her request was not excessive.
"That's easy. Just search for Su Yun on your phone and you'll see all her photos."
"Bullshit, are you itching for trouble? Believe me or not..."
When Xu Jie heard his mother start to curse, he immediately took the phone away from his ear and pretended to shout to the air around him: "What? OK, I'll go right away." Then he put the phone back to his ear and said in an urgent tone: "Mom, let's not talk anymore. Our director called me. You look at the photos first. I will bring the person back to you in a while. Bye!"
After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.
He didn't go out immediately, but waited for a while with his mobile phone. He was relieved when he saw that his mother didn't call again.
Although his acting was exaggerated, he managed to get away with it.
He put his cell phone in his pocket and walked out of the bathroom. As he walked, he realized that the atmosphere around him was not right. Everyone who passed by looked at him strangely. The men looked at him as if he was a love rival, and the women looked at him as if he was Tang Monk. Even the giant pandas in the zoo did not receive this treatment.
Alas, aura is something that cannot be hidden.
He walked back while sighing, when suddenly he heard hurried and dense footsteps in the corridor, and then he heard someone calling his name.
"Xu Jie!!!"
He turned around and found that his colleagues who had been out for interviews had returned. However, compared to usual, they all looked anxious and hurried, as if something big had happened.
"What happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was surrounded by his colleagues and pushed against the wall.
"Is the news about you and Su Yun true?" a beautiful woman asked with concern.
Her name is Zhou Min'er. She is the host of "Serving the People's Livelihood" and also the face of the entire program. She is not only young and beautiful, but also smart and capable. She is the dream lover of many viewers.
"Min'er, the person in the photo is definitely not him!" Before Xu Jie could speak, a man holding a camera said sarcastically, "Su Yun is a first-line actress, how could she marry a poor boy like Xu Jie? If you ask me, maybe they just look alike. Some people even say that I look like the overbearing CEO Huang Xiaoming. Am I proud?"
"But Su Yun tagged Xu Jie on Weibo. How do you explain this?" Liu Ting, a female colleague with a ponytail next to her, asked puzzledly.
"Uh... maybe they all use photos as their profile pictures, and Su Yun got confused." The man turned his head and looked at Xu Jie with contempt , then said loudly, "If he can marry Su Yun, I, Shi Fei, can marry Chang'e."
Xu Jie smiled and was about to explain to other colleagues when Liu Ting next to him suddenly screamed "Ah!" and then held her phone out to him and asked excitedly, "Xu Jie, you also posted your registration photo on Weibo? So, your relationship with Su Yun..."
Others checked their phones. Xu Jie had posted that Weibo eight minutes ago. At that time, everyone was rushing back and no one paid attention to Xu Jie's Weibo.
Shi Fei sensed something from his colleague's face. He snatched Liu Ting's phone and stared at the screen with his triangular eyes. When he saw the marriage registration photo posted by Xu Jie under his Weibo, his blood immediately rushed to his head. His head buzzed and he was completely stunned.
"How is this possible?"
He stood there blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.
In fact, he should be happy, because now that Xu Jie has obtained the marriage certificate, there is no possibility for him to be with Zhou Miner, but he just can't be happy.
I have been working at the TV station for five years, but I have appeared on screen only a handful of times, especially after he joined the team. Not only have I worked with Zhou Min'er less frequently, but even the number of news reports I have adopted has decreased. Now I have been reduced to a cameraman carrying a camera on my shoulder.
Looking at the other party, he not only married a beautiful woman, but also a big star. His good fortune is so great that it makes people envious and jealous.
Why?
Why do good things always happen to this kid?
Xu Jie looked at Shi Fei and said sincerely, "Brother Fei, let me know when you marry Chang'e. I'll take care of the filming."
Shi Feisao's face turned red all of a sudden, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into immediately.
After talking for so long, it turned out that the clown was himself.
When Zhou Miner heard Xu Jie admit it himself, she felt uncomfortable. Besides depression, there was a hint of loss in her eyes. She bit her lip and slowly walked out of the crowd.
On the surface, they are all colleagues, but in fact, she has always been paying attention to Xu Jie. Although he is not as handsome as young male stars, she will find him very attractive after a long time, and he also exudes a strong scent of male hormones.
The most rare thing is that the two of them are very compatible at work and can often think of things together. Apart from their average family conditions, there are really no other shortcomings to be found.
Unfortunately, she never expected that before any good news came out about the target, it would be suddenly intercepted by someone else without any warning.
This complicated feeling is like when you see something you like while shopping, but you don’t rush to buy it because you don’t need it for the time being. Suddenly one day when you pass by it, you find that it has been bought by someone else. You will inevitably feel disappointed and unhappy.
When Shi Fei saw Zhou Min'er leaving, he immediately followed her, teasing her, "Min'er, do you also think Xu Jie is too pretentious? He just hooked up with a female star, what's so great about that? Why are you so cocky!"
Zhou Miner was preoccupied and ignored Shi Fei at all. She couldn't understand how a small reporter and a big star could be together?
It's really unbelievable.
Shi Fei was frustrated and returned to his workstation in a huff. However, the more he thought about it, the more unbalanced and unfair it seemed. So he took out his cell phone, secretly registered a small account, and left a message on Su Yun's Weibo.
"I know the man. His name is Xu Jie. He lives in Nangou Village, Huairou District, Beijing. His parents are pig farmers. He is currently working as a reporter for the Life Channel of Beijing TV Station. I guess he is using his job to get close to Su Yun..."
Humph, that kid can’t get away with it!
