Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 800 The Couple's Conspiracy
The couple got in the car and the nanny car started driving, not towards the hotel, but towards a restaurant.

Halfway through the trip, they received a call from Zhang Shaohan, who said he wanted to invite them to dinner to express his gratitude, and that Zhang Shaohan's good friend Wu Qingfeng and teacher Lin Longxuan were also coming.

Wu Qingfeng and Lin Longxuan happened to run into their wrap-up party yesterday, and they didn't greet them before coming, so when they learned that their family was in a big banquet yesterday, they didn't come to disturb them.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei thought it was quite polite, as they came all the way from Taiwan just to thank them.

When the two saw this and heard that their mother, Zhou Jielun and Chen Luyu were also there, they happily went to keep the appointment.

"Here they come, a true-hearted young couple."

As the couple, Lu Tao and Zeng Ni entered the restaurant's private room, they saw Zhang Hanxuan speaking happily with a hint of mockery on his face.

The first two "I'm coming, I'm coming" could be heard to express welcome, but the second sentence "a true-hearted young couple" made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei look a little stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Liu Xiaoli waved her hand, motioning the couple to sit next to her, and couldn't help laughing and said, "You guys were chasing each other in public, and your photos of them going crazy on the Internet, with titles like 'A True Couple'."

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei burst into laughter and finally understood what was going on. It turned out that a scene at the amusement park was photographed by a passerby and posted online, which caused some heated discussion.

"I told you it was right not to go play with you guys, otherwise I would be just an extra-watt light bulb." Zhou Jie Lun joked. He checked the online news at the hotel before coming here. The photos of these two people taken by passers-by at the amusement park were full of dog food. Fortunately, he did not go play with these two guys, thus avoiding the dog food critique he had to endure along the way.

"That's good. This way we can suppress the public opinion about Angela more quickly to avoid any accidents." Chen Luyu smiled. Originally, she wanted to use the popularity of the couple to suppress the public opinion about Zhang Shaohan and prevent Zhang Shaohan from being "overpraised". Now with the addition of some topics about the couple having fun in the amusement park, it will be more conducive to accelerating the achievement of this expectation.

As soon as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat down, Wu Qingfeng and Lin Longxuan greeted them warmly.

"Hello, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, I am Wu Qingfeng, and I would like to thank you for your help to Angela."

"I'm Lin Longxuan, Angela's teacher. Thank you for everything you've done for Angela. Thank you very much."

Faced with the enthusiasm of the two people, the couple also responded enthusiastically.

"Teacher Wu, Teacher Lin, you are too polite. We also know the cause and effect of some things by chance. Now that we know and have the ability to help, then helping yourself will make you more clear and make you feel better."

"That's right. Besides, we have a condition. Angela, the great diva, wants to help us record the ending song for free."

Help with conditions? Free ending song? ... Wu Qingfeng and Lin Longxuan felt warm in their hearts. With Zhang Shaohan's past negative public opinion, he couldn't even get a normal notice for a performance, let alone the ending song of the new work of this superstar couple. It was obvious that the couple was giving Zhang Shaohan a chance, a resource to help Zhang Shaohan make a comeback, and in the final analysis, they were still giving him help.

The two people, who were already fascinated by and had a good impression of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, felt their favorability rise to a higher level after hearing what they said.

"Sing well." Lin Longxuan said to Zhang Shaohan.

"You have to sing well. I don't think it's good to do it for free. You should pay for it." Wu Qingfeng joked.

Zhang Shaohan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kept saying: "Okay, okay..."

Zhang Hanxuan ran to the door and shouted, "The food is ready," then ran back and sat down to continue chatting.

"Chu Xuan, Xixi, we will be returning to Taiwan tomorrow," she said.

"Are we going back to the rental house or to your island?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Of course I'm going back to my home." Zhang Hanxuan said happily.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded slightly. They had heard from Lu Tao and Zeng Ni before that the two sisters had been living in an ordinary residential house to avoid public opinion and paparazzi, and they didn't dare to go home. Now that the public opinion issue has been resolved, their image has returned to normal, and they feel relieved and can finally go home.

The couple was happy for them.

"Let's keep in touch and play together when we have time." Liu Yifei said.

"Okay." Zhang Shaohan nodded: "When I make enough money, I will come to Shenzhen Banshan Villa Park to buy a house and be your neighbor."

Zhang Hanxuan said: "My sister said that she has nothing to repay you, but as your neighbor, she can help you cook when you are busy..."

As he spoke, Zhang Hanxuan glanced at the couple slyly and said, "I can also help you take care of the children."

Liu Yifei was drinking tea and was almost choked by her sudden words. She looked at Zhang Shaohan with a mixed look of shyness and resentment.

"Eat, eat!"

The waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the dishes. When all the dishes were served, the wine was poured. Zhang Shaohan drank tea while Zhang Hanxuan drank wine for her. Thus, a small gathering with the theme of thanksgiving began.

"Thank you again, Chu Xuan, Xixi, Aunt Liu, Jay Chou, and Sister Lu Yu. I toast to you..."

In Zhang Shaohan's heart, Chu Xuan's help not only rekindled hope in her life, but also put her career back on track. This can no longer be summed up with the word "noble man", it can be said to be a great favor.

Before reversing public opinion, she had been hoping that it would go smoothly.

After public opinion was settled, she relaxed and thought about how to repay Chu Xuan and this family.

However, with the strength of this family, they have almost everything.

How should she repay him? This made her a little worried.

She knew about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's wedding house in Shenzhen and had seen it. One reason was to hold the wedding, and the other was to provide a comfortable environment for their future children to live in that would be warm in winter and cool in summer.

Based on this, she changed her mind and thought that perhaps this overwhelming kindness could only be comforted by the warm and caring behavior of long-term companionship.

So I made a plan to make money to buy a house and become neighbors with this family in Shenzhen. Helping with cooking, doing chores or taking care of the children would be a way to repay their kindness.

For the couple, they were well aware of how grateful Zhang Shaohan and her sister were to them. When they heard that Zhang Shaohan wanted to be their neighbor in Shenzhen and was expressing her gratitude in a nanny-like way, they didn't know what to say and could only go with the flow.

The ups and downs of life have been perfectly illustrated by Zhang Shaohan's experience over the past year. Although this was only possible with their help, it also proves the saying "There will always be a time to ride the wind and waves." They also express their best wishes to Zhang Shaohan to be able to "set sail and cross the vast ocean."

……

night.

The bedroom was filled with a faint aroma of wine, which spread with the cool wind from the air conditioner, making the air in the whole room filled with a hint of red wine.

The light from the bedside lamp seemed dim, and the snow-white shoulders revealed from the loose quilt and the pink cheeks, which were not sure if they were from drinking, taking a bath, or making love, seemed a little ambiguous.

Zhang Shaohan and his friends will go back to Taiwan tomorrow morning. Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei, mother and daughter, will also go to America tomorrow. Chen Luyu also has work to do tomorrow. None of the parties drank too much at the dinner. After nightfall, they all dispersed, each expressing their farewells and looking forward to reuniting again.

The couple returned to the hotel, took a shower together, and are now chatting at the bedside.

Chu Xuan was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head.

Liu Yifei supported her face with her left hand and stroked Chu Xuan's face with her right hand, looking at him: "We will be separated tomorrow, and it will be almost a month."

She expressed her sadness at parting and looked very reluctant.

Chu Xuan tilted his head and looked up at her face: "I said I would go with you if we finished the final things together, but you didn't want me to accompany you, so don't blame me this time."

After spending a few days to deal with the final things, "My Love from the Star" officially entered the post-production stage. Led by Long Fei, the camera crew leader who understands his shooting concept, and assistant director Lu Chuan, assisted by teachers from Ning Hao's team and a group of professionals from the company's film and television editing department, he only needs to control the general direction in the early production and does not need to keep an eye on it all the time, so he will have some free time next.

The summer vacation in American schools is in June and July, which is one month earlier than in China, but the graduation period is almost the same, all within ten to twenty days after the normal summer vacation.

Liu Yifei's advanced training class will graduate on June 15th, which is nearly a month away. He doesn't want to be separated for a month after getting married so soon.

So, he thought of letting Liu Yifei finish the finishing work here with him, and then he would accompany Liu Yifei to America and spend this graduation period with her.

Liu Yifei herself was very willing, but there was one thing they almost forgot - her mother's 50th birthday.

"I don't blame you." Liu Yifei rubbed Chu Xuan's face and said, "Mom's birthday is coming soon. Mom and I are going to America, so you have to prepare the surprise."

My mother’s birthday is June 18th, which, if you look at the Gregorian calendar, is the same day as the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the mythology.

My mother has never celebrated her birthday specially. In previous years, if she remembered it, she would just add a few more delicious dishes to dinner and celebrate it casually. But over the years, she probably hasn't remembered it. Just like Chu Xuan in the past, she doesn't take birthdays seriously.

A few years ago, she and Chu Xuan had discussed that they must give her mother a surprise on her 50th birthday, but as time passed, the couple almost forgot about it.

Fortunately, she had added a reminder in the memo of her mobile phone and told the couple about their mother's birthday next month, one month in advance, on May 18th, two days ago. This allowed the couple to uncover the long-forgotten memory of preparing a surprise for their mother.

She was going to America to prepare for graduation, so Chu Xuan had to stay in China to take care of the surprise for her mother.

"What surprise are you preparing?" Chu Xuan stood up, changed from fully lying to half lying, leaned on the back of the bed and held Liu Yifei in his arms.

Liu Yifei leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder, the quilt on her body slid down a little, exposing a small part of her smooth back. She raised her head slightly and looked at Chu Xuan, with a slightly curved eyebrow and a sweet expression, and said without thinking: "Every year on my birthday, my mother likes to show her past photos. How about we give her a surprise like this and show her photos from the age of 1 to 50?"

Chu Xuan held his wife's shoulders and pulled the quilt to cover her tightly to prevent her from catching a cold. He said, "Enlarge the photos and put them on the LED screen. Then, arrange them in a row on the lawn of the villa. Take her home at night and turn on the lights to blind her."

After hearing what Chu Xuan said, the picture came to her mind... Liu Yifei smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying happily: "This is good, this is good! Let's do it this way! Mom is not materialistic. If we give her some expensive things, she will be happy but it won't touch her heart. If we use the LED screen to display the memorable photos of her from childhood to adulthood, she will definitely cry with joy!"

Chu Xuan nodded. His mother was a very emotional person. If she suddenly saw all the little scenes from her childhood to the present day, she would probably be surprised and shocked, and it was predictable that she would shed tears of excitement.

However, he remembered one thing and joked, "She made my mom cry again, and then she blamed me. She will definitely find a way to make trouble for me again in the future. This is a bit risky."

Liu Yifei buried her head in Chu Xuan's shoulder and smiled. She patted Chu Xuan's shoulder with great joy and asked, "Which is more important, your mother's prank on you or your mother's birthday?"

Chu Xuan found it interesting and shook his head: "Okay, okay, my mom's birthday is important, but where can I get her photos? The photo album at home is incomplete, is there any at grandma's place?"

"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded and gave Chu Xuan some advice: "My grandmother has all the childhood photos, and there are also photos of my mother when she was at the Wuhan Opera House. You can go to the opera house and ask."

"Is the opera house from that time still there?" Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Tsk, it's a provincial opera house, an official organization." Liu Yifei said.

"Oh." Chu Xuan understood.

"Or we can go to the Wuhan Cultural Center and ask. My mom said that the uncles and aunts who used to work with her now work at the cultural center. They must have kept a lot of highlight photos of my mom dancing or life photos that we don't have." Liu Yifei provided Chu Xuan with the information.

Chu Xuan nodded slowly: "Okay, after I finish dealing with things here, I will look through the photo albums at home when I get home, pick out the good-looking photos of my mother, and then go to Wuhan."

"But..." He found a problem: "Some photos taken in photo studios have year records, while some photos taken privately by you do not have year records. So how do we know how old my mother is in the old photos? This is a problem."

The photos taken in the photo studio have the year marked on them, but the photos taken privately by the mother and daughter in the past do not have the year recorded on them.

Since I want to get my hands on photos of my mother from the age of one to the present, and I want them to record the past 1 years of her life according to the years, this is a bit difficult.

"Email me the photos without the year and I will take a look. You can also bring them to your grandmother or email them to your aunt. If you really can't figure it out, change the photos. The same goes for the photos you found in Wuhan." Liu Yifei suggested.

"Okay." Chu Xuan agreed: "We can also go to Wuhan to visit grandma and grandpa and grandma, so that dad won't say that we don't value family affection during the New Year this year."

Liu Yifei stroked Chu Xuan's face and turned it over, kissing Chu Xuan on the lips: "Go visit the old people for me. Anyway, you are enough for us to have the marriage certificate. Grandma and grandpa will definitely be very happy to see you visit them."

"Yeah." Chu Xuan raised his hand around Liu Yifei and gently kneaded her cheek. "However, I know that scanning the photos into the computer is possible, but I don't know whether it is possible to process the clarity of old photos and enlarge them to the LED screen. I don't know about these technical aspects. After returning to the company, I will ask the people in the film and television editing department to see if it is feasible. If it is feasible, I will take action. If not, I will discuss other plans."

"Well, that's it." Liu Yifei said, "Whatever the plan is, you go and make arrangements with grandma and uncle in China, and I will secretly contact my aunt and uncle, and try to invite everyone to come over for a gathering on mom's birthday."

"No problem." Chu Xuan said, "Also, your studies will end on June 15th, and my mother's birthday is on June 18th. You'd better not come back early, otherwise my decoration in the villa will be exposed."

"Oh, right." Liu Yifei was distracted. This was the key point. She blinked and thought for a moment, then came up with an idea: "If I really have to come back early, I'll ask my mother to take me to my aunt's place in Los Angeles to play for a day or two."

"Good idea!" Chu Xuan praised, "Anyway, you just need to come back on June 618th, local time. Then I'll call my family, Sister Hua's family, Sister Qiaoqiao, Changchang and the others over. When Mom gets home, I'll give her a surprise. This will definitely create a pleasant surprise atmosphere."

"Yeah, yeah!" Liu Yifei nodded softly. The thought of it brought back vivid images, making her look forward to it.

Chu Xuan rubbed her earlobe, looked at her and said, "If I have arranged it in advance and can get away, I will come to New Haven to accompany you."

"Okay." Liu Yifei said happily, "I'm the only Chinese in the advanced class. Teacher Scarlett seems to be arranging a graduation speech for me. If you can come, please come and witness my graduation."

Chu Xuan hugged her tighter: "Not sure, but I'll try to come here as much as possible. It depends on what kind of surprise you want to prepare for Mom."

"Yeah." Liu Yifei responded.

Chu Xuan released his right hand from around her, stretched himself to turn off the bedside lamp, and the bedroom fell into darkness.

"Go to sleep. We'll talk over the phone about the details later. You have a flight to catch tomorrow, so go to bed early."

"Well, good night, husband."

"Goodnight, wife."

Late at night, the couple slowly fell asleep.
