Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Tang Yu smiled and sat down next to Meng Yanchen. After Meng Yanchen finished his song, she took his hand and spoke.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to play a four-handed duet."

Tang Yu's fingers danced nimbly across the piano keys, guiding Meng Yanchen's hands to play along.

The two played a four-hand piano duet happily. Although the effect was poor and there were occasional mistakes between notes, Meng Yanchen's smile grew wider and wider.

Some things are inherently boring, but when you have your loved one by your side, everything becomes more meaningful.

As the song ended, Meng Yanchen turned slightly and gently placed a kiss on Tang Yu's cheek.

Tang Yu directly straightened the other person's body.

"Let's get serious and play some nursery rhymes to help you rediscover your childhood."

Their fingers danced across the piano keys again, and the cheerful melody of "Two Tigers" began, followed by "Counting Ducks," and then "Little White Rabbit."

After playing a few children's songs, Tang Yu burst out laughing.

Do you know what type of music I played the most when I was a kid?

Meng Yanchen pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Bach?"

Tang Yu burst into laughter, bending over backwards.

"That's your childhood! My parents don't understand those profound classical music pieces, so I played nursery rhymes for them when I was little."

Besides nursery rhymes, they also love listening to "Only Mother is Good in the World."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanchen's eyes and brows were filled with a smile.

He stepped forward, his long, slender fingers gently stroking Tang Yu's hair, then slowly lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"If we have a daughter in the future, and she is willing to learn the piano, I would like to hear her play nursery rhymes for me."

Tang Yu tilted her head back and smiled, unable to resist teasing him on purpose.

"Oh dear, what should I do? What if I don't have a daughter in the future? Are you going to cry to me?"

Meng Yanchen's smile deepened as he listened to Tang Yu's teasing.

"Give me a kiss, and I won't cry."

Tang Yu burst into laughter and collapsed into Meng Yanchen's arms.

After laughing for a while, she stretched out her hand and spoke domineeringly.

"Come here, my most loyal boyfriend, your queen is going to sleep now, hurry up and pick her up."

It's said that the TV series included a scene of Meng Yanchen playing the piano, but that scene was later cut.

Chapter 24 Meng Yanchen 24

When Meng Yanchen went to work the next day, he received a call from Fu Wenying.

"Mom, is there something you need? I'm about to start a meeting."

"I didn't understand yesterday's news either. Did you and your girlfriend break up or not?"

This question immediately put Meng Yanchen on alert.

He was worried that Fu Wenying would interfere, but ever since he announced his relationship...

In fact, his parents had never interfered in his relationship, which relieved Meng Yanchen.

"It's just some paparazzi making up stories without any context. I was the one who went to pick Ayu up that night."

Fu Wenying was silent for two seconds, then changed the subject.

"You're graduating next year. When are you going home to help your father? You're not going to stay in Beijing forever, are you?"

Meng Yanchen hadn't thought this through. In fact, he felt that he was freer in Beijing, and his career was his own, so no one else could interfere.

"Mom, in your eyes, I'm someone who built my career all by myself, making you feel that I can take control of my own life?"

"Was it only after I returned home and started working at Guokun Group that you felt I could take control of my own life?"

Fu Wenying's expression turned serious.

"What do you mean by that? Are you subtly criticizing me?"

"Mom, I am very grateful for your strict requirements, which have allowed me to grow up smoothly to this day."

I know you mean well; you want your son to excel and be able to withstand the challenges of the future.

"But I am an adult now. I have not given up on myself, I have not done anything immoral or scandalous, and I have not broken the law or lived a life of debauchery that would embarrass you!"

Therefore, I believe that, based on self-love and self-respect, I have lived a life that I can be proud of, and that I can be proud of you all.

Of course, I will go home to help Dad, but I hope that will be after I have achieved greater success in my own career.

Fu Wenying angrily hung up the phone, then turned to Meng Huaijin and began to complain.

“Your son has grown up and doesn’t need the experience of us old folks anymore. I think he just wants to stay in Beijing to be with his girlfriend.”

Meng Huaijin gave a helpless smile.

“What did Yan Chen do wrong? He always came back to celebrate our birthdays with us.”

He often comes back during holidays and festivals. Look at the children of our friends, who is more filial than Yan Chen?

Fu Wenying couldn't refute these words. If they were compared, no one was really better than her son.

Even the girlfriends she dated were enough to make everyone in her social circle envious.

"Why compare with them? As parents, we should be stricter with our son. Guokun Group is so big. If he doesn't have the ability, how will he take over the company in the future?"

Meng Huaijin smiled and shook his head.

"You've said so much, but you haven't stopped him from continuing his relationship with his girlfriend. So tell Yan Chen that he'll be back in a few years."

How could Fu Wenying possibly swallow her pride? She instinctively started criticizing.

"How can an elder give face to a junior? Shouldn't Yan Chen bring his girlfriend home openly and generously?"

"He's such a grown man, how can he not do something like this?"

Meng Yanchen was unaware of the issues the couple were discussing.

Instead, he was worried about what gift to give to his elders, because he was about to meet Tang Yu's parents.

"Your family has a lot of social engagements during holidays and festivals. You've been exposed to this kind of thing since you were little, so how come you don't know how to give gifts?"

Seeing Meng Yanchen's conflicted expression, Tang Yu laughed and teased him.

Giving a gift shouldn't be that difficult, but Meng Yanchen turned it into a world-class problem.

"The gifts given for social occasions may not actually be liked by the clients; they are just for maintaining contact and managing relationships."

But I'm going to meet my future in-laws now, should I just casually pick out some health supplements? That would seem rather insincere.

Tang Yu smiled and took Meng Yanchen's hand.

"Why make it so complicated? I know my parents' hobbies best. Come on, I'll take you shopping."

Tang Yu took Meng Yanchen to buy a professional fishing rod.

“My dad just loves fishing now. He doesn’t have any other hobbies. If you can go fishing with him, he’ll think you’re the best son-in-law!”

Looking at the things he had already bought, Meng Yanchen smiled and asked.

"What should we send to your aunt?"

Tang Yu looked at Meng Yanchen for a long time, and then took Meng Yanchen directly to the luxury handbag brand.

"People my mom's age need that sense of showing off, you know?"

She changes her handbag every day, then tells her friends it was bought by her son-in-law, and the envious looks from those around her make her so happy she eats an extra bowl of rice every day.

Tang Yu's parents have very mundane hobbies, but it's okay to live a simple life.

Meng Yanchen tried to come up with some exquisite gifts, but it was no use. Tang Yu felt that her parents would be very embarrassed.

Her parents couldn't respond to anything that was too cultured.

Meng Yanchen bought ten bags in one go and casually asked his girlfriend next to him about them.

"How about we buy some more jewelry?"

"That's fine too. The elderly ladies like to wear jade, so buying a set of this kind of jewelry will suffice."

After buying these gifts, the two were having dinner at a restaurant when Meng Yanchen asked him about it out of curiosity.

"Why don't you like luxury handbags and jewelry? We've been together for so long, and it seems like only pretty dresses make your eyes light up."

This question made Tang Yu think, as she didn't seem to be very interested in these things.

"Maybe these things were never valuable to me to begin with."

"But I still want to buy you more, so that you won't be short of a complete set of jewelry when you participate in events in the future."

These words instantly brought a smile to Tang Yu's face.

"You're most like a domineering CEO right now. I wouldn't say I like you, but I don't dislike you either."

"My life's work in haute couture and jewelry depends on you!"

After discovering that Tang Yu needed to borrow jewelry and haute couture for some media events, Meng Yanchen decided to buy them for his girlfriend himself.

Borrowing from brands requires connections, and sometimes it's not even possible. So how can he let his girlfriend suffer?

Therefore, Meng Yanchen's solution was simple: just buy it.

Otherwise, what's the point of making so much money?

After finishing their meal, Tang Yu revealed the last gift.

"You can also buy some precious tea leaves; people their age really enjoy drinking tea."

When inviting friends for tea, you can also boast that you bought the tea, which makes them feel very proud.

This gift was quite simple for Meng Yanchen, because the Meng family's favorite thing was drinking tea.

From childhood to adulthood, the gifts my family received for social occasions were all kinds of precious teas.
