Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 812 Everything is ready, except for the trick

At noon, a group of graduates in black bachelor's gowns and bachelor's caps walked out of the auditorium together.

The graduation ceremony is over, and the only thing left is taking a group photo, and the trip will come to a successful conclusion.

Liu Yifei, holding the certificate in her arms, skipped down the stairs in brisk steps. Her face looked gentle, but her behavior revealed her excitement.

She usually appears quiet and elegant in public, but because her speech was very effective, many unfamiliar classmates, including teachers, stood up and applauded her. To have such an achievement at graduation in such an unfamiliar place was like unlocking a new achievement in life, which made her very happy.

"Huh? Where are they?" She looked around but couldn't find Chu Xuan and her mother. She was still thinking about sharing the joy brought by the speech as soon as possible.

"Xixi, you're awesome!" Ailande came from behind, holding the certificate in one hand and holding Liu Yifei's shoulder with the other, cheering for her good friend's wonderful speech.

Complimented by her good friend, Liu Yifei smiled and was not sure how to respond.

"Let's go and take pictures. Our studies are finally over!" Ailandra pulled Liu Yifei to meet up with her classmates. Liu Yifei, who couldn't find her family, had to give up for the time being and went to take a group photo.

However, this group photo was a bit unusual. Many men and women, both from this class and from other classes, came to Liu Yifei and asked to take a photo with her.

It seems that Liu Yifei's speech has had a great influence, just like a group of capital tycoons listened to Ma Yun's talk about success wholeheartedly, and a group of people entering the capital game circle will actively follow Ma Huateng's penguin pace. Outstanding people will always attract attention.

Liu Yifei's speech did not flatter or follow the local thought circle. The artistic concept of equality and independent self to courageously pursue dreams conveyed by her speech made many people feel unique and admired.

Perhaps the locals are not too keen on Chinese identity, but those graduates from all over the world do not think so. When they are about to leave school, they all want to take a photo with this independent, unique and very individual female classmate as a souvenir.

Liu Yifei did not refuse. Although she did not know any of them and was not very familiar with those she knew, it was a rare opportunity to take photos with foreign classmates in the art world who had different skin colors.

However, it’s okay to take pictures, but it would be a bit embarrassing if you have other thoughts.

"Student Xixi, can I invite you to have dinner with me tonight?"

This male classmate had skin as white as a vampire, a typical British face, and his eyes were full of undisguised admiration for Liu Yifei.

He comes from a good family background and his cognition is not confined by the global media network. Compared with the fact that many young people have been misled by decades of ideological dissemination in the West, he was quite interested in the independence and high-level ideas demonstrated by Liu Yifei in a speech.

Moreover, Liu Yifei's face was different from the oriental faces he knew, but her bone structure met their Western aesthetic standards, which made him more interested in Liu Yifei.

"Oh, is William confessing his love to her?"

"Then he will be disappointed, because I already have a boyfriend."

"Oh no, I think of her as a goddess. You tell me she has a boyfriend? Who is it?"

"Here I come."

The classmates nearby were watching a show. Not far away, Ailande saw that Liu Yifei seemed to be entangled by someone. Just as she took a step to help Liu Yifei, she saw Chu Xuan getting up from a bench under a tree on the other side and walking towards her. So she stopped, raised her eyebrows and smiled, waiting and watching.

Liu Yifei was a little confused. She was taking a photo in public and suddenly someone showed up to invite her to dinner. This seemed to be no different from a love confession, which caught her off guard. One can only say that Westerners are open-minded in this regard and did not feel embarrassed at all.

What made her even more speechless was that there was a middle-aged couple ten meters away who were watching with great interest, as if they were cheering her on. They looked like they were the parents of the person in front of her.

No, isn’t it really embarrassing when a son confesses his love and his parents stare at him from behind?

Liu Yifei was helpless. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Chu Xuan coming over from the corner of her eye. Her eyes lit up, and she pointed at Chu Xuan and changed her words: "Can I bring my husband with me?"

This classmate named William looked at Chu Xuan, his face full of surprise, already having a husband? This is a bit embarrassing.

Seeing that Liu Yifei's words were obviously not serious, but a tone of persuasion, he shook his head and smiled: "Sorry, I spoke out of turn, I hope you don't mind."

William walked back and shrugged at his parents.

It looked like there was no hope. The girl took another man's arm and understood the situation. The mother even said "Oh" softly and looked very sorry.

"I am also convinced. This is too open." Liu Yifei shook her head.

Chu Xuan smiled without saying anything and walked towards his mother with her.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yifei looked up at him, her usual eyes gradually turned cunning, and she blinked and said, "Are you jealous?"

"Why should I be jealous? You're overthinking." Chu Xuan was stubborn. Someone confessed to his wife in front of him. Any man would feel uncomfortable. In common parlance, he would be jealous.

For men, the more jealous they are, the stronger their possessiveness. He raised his hand and put it on Liu Yifei's shoulder, and pulled Liu Yifei closer to his arms.

Feeling this way, Liu Yifei smiled teasingly. She knew very well how her husband felt. He was so petty about such a small unexpected situation.

But the more petty Chu Xuan is, the more it shows that he cares about her, and she finds this very interesting.

"Hmph!" She snorted again and said, "Only some people are allowed to like you, but not me? Back then, Jin Jae-hee came to the school gate to block me. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This happened so long ago, but I still remember that this daughter-in-law is so petty.

"Okay, okay, this is over. There's no need to talk about the past anymore. You're so outstanding, it's normal for someone to pursue you, and such an outstanding woman is my wife. I'm very proud of this."

"is it?"

"necessary!"

Seeing Chu Xuan's solemn promise, Liu Yifei said no more, but her interest remained unabated.

She had been jealous of Chu Xuan in the past because of Jin Jae-hee and Yang Mi, and now it was Chu Xuan's turn to feel the same way.

Although it was an unimportant episode, it inadvertently filled in Chu Xuan's blank emotional experience and provided Chu Xuan with some thoughts on how to manage their love in the future. This seemed to be a good surprise.

Liu Xiaoli stood under the tree with her arms folded as she watched all this happen. It was such a small matter and she didn't need to worry about it. While watching the show, she also believed that the couple would be able to handle it soon. Now seeing that the couple were still as intimate as before, she thought that this sudden episode was nothing but a passing cloud.

"Say hello to the teacher," she said.

Liu Yifei waved goodbye to the teachers: "Teacher Scarlett, teachers, goodbye!"

The students in the advanced training class come from all over the world, and each graduating student may never see each other again in their lifetime.

The teachers were used to it, and didn’t say anything like “goodbye”: “Bye, I wish you great success.”

With just these words, the students were sent off, and they had completed the task of this round of training.

With this, the students left the school in twos and threes with their families, and the Yale University School of Art advanced class has completely become history. Who will shine on the international stage in the future and be recorded in the historical documents of this class remains to be seen.

Jack and Ireland had to rush to New York to fly back to Los Angeles. The filming of "Twilight" could not be delayed. The machine-like and inhumane industrial standards were very strict. If a certain process could not be completed within the specified time, all subsequent links would be affected, which would not only lose funds but also damage Macron's reputation in the industry.

"Chu, Xixi, Auntie, come to Los Angeles when you have time!" Jack and Ireland said goodbye.

"Okay." The whole family agreed. This was not perfunctory, because of the cooperative relationship between the two parties, as long as "Twilight" performed well, then in the long-term cooperation, frequent meetings between the two parties might become the norm in the future.

"It's finally over!" After returning home, Liu Yifei pushed open the door and ran in happily. Zeng Ni, who was cooking in the kitchen, was infected by the vitality and raised the corner of her mouth. Chu Xuan, Liu Xiaoli and Lu Tao, who were walking behind, also showed a gentle smile.

Now that her studies are finished, Liu Yifei has finally gotten rid of a layer of constraints, which is something to be happy about.

Liu Yifei went upstairs to change clothes, and Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli finished dressing Jace and Caitlyn.

Jace and Caitlyn are the bodyguards of the mother and daughter in the United States. Although due to various factors the mother and daughter are not here most of the time, the security service is very in place every time they come. The service time period is charged the same price. As they have a very pleasant experience every time they get along, both sides don't argue much.

"We also have a company in Los Angeles, and you also have business there. If you come to Los Angeles in the future and need security, you can contact us at any time." Jace promoted his business.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly: "I promised to let you participate in Chenglong Films, but I haven't done it yet. I think our friendship will continue."

"Oh." Caitlin smiled. "Boss, we thought you had forgotten about it."

"How could that be?" Chu Xuan shook his head. "There is a saying in our country, honesty is the foundation of being a human being. I will definitely do what I promised you."

Jace and Caitlin looked at each other. When they first met two years ago, they revealed that they liked Cheng Long. Chu Xuan probably wanted them to better protect the mother and daughter, so he tempted them to participate in Cheng Long's movie to achieve this goal.

Two years passed in a flash, and they had long forgotten this promise, but they did not expect Chu Xuan to still remember it and bring it up on his own initiative, especially now that they were no longer needed and were no longer tied down. This made them feel even more favorable towards Chu Xuan's family, and also made them feel somewhat favorable towards the mysterious Eastern country.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

I took a few bundles of US dollars in cash to settle the balance, and the employment contract between the two parties ended, and we said goodbye.

The settlement for the private training management course was paid yesterday. The lease on this villa will automatically expire in two months, and the extra money cannot be refunded. My mother only took back the deposit. Although she lost a little on the rent, she didn't care about the rent when she thought about the nearly 1 million yuan she had to pay for the national tax refund. So far, all matters in New Haven have been settled, and I can pack up and leave with peace of mind.

"Sister Zeng, have you bought the plane ticket?" Liu Yifei changed into a casual outfit and went downstairs.

"I bought it. The flight is at 6 a.m. on June 18th, US time." Zeng Ni replied in the kitchen.

Today is the 15th, and there are still 18 days until the 3th. I have to stay here for 2 more days before I can return home.

According to Liu Xiaoli, there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the villa, including the equipment and devices bought for her daughter to learn photography, which need to be packed and airlifted back. It will take one or two days to sort and pack them and then entrust a local company to deliver them.

I informed the local shipping company in advance and signed the contract, which clearly stated that it would be completed within two days, so I set the date of return to China as the 18th, American time.

When they heard this arrangement, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were so delighted. They were not afraid that the fish would not take the bait, but they were afraid that the fish would not play according to the rules.

The 18th in America is the 17th in China. When I arrived in China after a 12-hour flight, it was exactly the 18th in China, which was my mother's birthday.

The couple also thought that if their mother wanted to leave early, they would either use the excuse of going to Los Angeles for fun or staying in New Haven for a day or two to prevent the plan from collapsing; if their mother wanted to leave later, they would use the excuse of having something to do in China to prevent her from breaking the plan.

Now, my mother has fallen into the trap herself.

It is true that everyone is happy when their wish comes true.

After finishing some work, my mother went into the kitchen and worked with Zeng Ni to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Chu Xuan opened two bottles of red wine and celebrated for Liu Yifei with my mother, Zeng Ni and Lu Tao. The evening was filled with joy and happiness.

I graduated successfully. I no longer have to read books, write speeches, or take up private lessons.

With the company of her husband and mother, Liu Yifei spent her last two days in New Haven happily and relaxedly.

Some valuable things that I bought for the entire villa were also shipped to the shipping company's warehouse in the past two days, making the empty interior of the villa look like it was just moving.

However, although this "home" is empty, the family is in a very good mood, because tomorrow they will be able to completely put aside their overseas ties and return to their own country.

On the eve of their departure, after coming back from a walk after dinner, Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan upstairs and slipped into the bedroom in a somewhat mysterious manner, which made Liu Xiaoli suspicious but clueless.

"See? Everything is arranged."

"Not bad, not bad. I must praise it."

Liu Yifei was talking on the phone with Su Chang, and was also looking at some photos displayed in the computer email with Chu Xuan.

The photo shows the lawn of one’s own villa, except that the lawn in the photo looks brand new, and the various arrangements and equipment make it look as if it is a very fashionable commercial plaza where some kind of event is being held, and it is colorful and dazzling.

With the help of Su Chang and Jiang Xin, the people in the company had apparently prepared the surprise for the mother according to the plan discussed at the beginning.

"Only praise? Madam boss, how can you be so generous? Just empty words without any substantial rewards? Then I'm a little sad."

Jiang Xin's complaints outside the phone made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei laugh.

"We'll come back the day after tomorrow and cook for ourselves, is that enough?"

"You guys cook? Can we eat it?"

Liu Yifei:......

Chu Xuan smiled and shook his head. Jiang Xin's mouth seemed to be full of thorns, and when combined with Zhao Liying's sharp mouth, they were invincible.

"I'll talk about it when I get back, but I have to say thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, you're just sending us away like this, you..."

With a "beep", Liu Yifei hung up the phone immediately. Sometimes the conversations with Jiang Xin were endless, and hanging up the phone was her most effective way to deal with Jiang Xin.

"Call Sister Hua and ask her to be prepared." Chu Xuan said.

"Okay." Liu Yifei dialed Sister Hua's number and waited for the call to be connected.

Soon, Sister Hua's voice came from the phone.

"Hey, Sissy."

"Sister, we will leave tomorrow morning and arrive at 8 or 9 in the morning Beijing time the day after tomorrow. You will have to be at the company by then. We will rush to the company as soon as we get off the plane, and you can hold my mother back."

“Hahaha…” Wang Jinhua was delighted. She found it funny to think of these two guys teaming up to plot against her mother. “Okay, I’ll think of a reason in the next two days to keep your mother here the day after tomorrow and then release you guys.”

Chu Xuan leaned closer to the phone and talked to Sister Hua.

"You have to bring me back when the time comes."

"Your mother is an old fox. She won't let me go home after I got there. I think there must be something fishy going on. I can only say I'll try my best."

"If she is exposed, we will use coercive means. We cannot let her go home early anyway."

"Force? Tie her up or lock the door? Aren't you afraid that your mother will beat you to death afterwards?"

Liu Yifei smiled happily and laughed together with Sister Hua on the phone.

"The surprise is already prepared, so why bother about anything else?" Chu Xuan went for it.

"Okay, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself, I'm just an accomplice." Wang Jinhua joked.

"Okay, that's it. See you the day after tomorrow." Chu Xuan said.

"See you the day after tomorrow." Wang Jinhua hung up the phone.

Liu Yifei turned off her phone and thought about the preparations for her mother's birthday the day after tomorrow.

My grandma and uncle will be here tomorrow, and Su Chang and Jiang Xin will be at home to help entertain them for a day.

His aunt and cousin will leave on the same day as them tomorrow, flying from Los Angeles to Beijing. Then he and Chu Xuan will be able to go home and meet their families.

Sister Hua has contacted Brother Hu Jun, Sister Liu Jialin, and Brother Ren Quan, and they will all come over early on Mom’s birthday the day after tomorrow.

Zhao Liying, Huang Xuan and others were contacted by Su Chang and Jiang Xin, and they should all come to play the day after tomorrow...

Liu Yifei clapped her hands and said, "Everything is ready. I just need you to trick mom."

Chu Xuan found it interesting. Apart from the secret relationship in the early stage of their relationship, he seemed to have never fooled his mother over the years. This time, their joint action was quite interesting. He just didn't know how his mother would react when she saw the surprise. He was looking forward to it.

"Go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow to travel."

"Yeah, go to sleep, we'll go back tomorrow!"
