Starting a second career in the entertainment industry

The people in the lobby on the first floor were unaware of the tenderness and sweetness between the two, and before they knew it, the topic of conversation fell on Wenrou and Xiao Zhan again.

The first person to speak was my grandmother, the former head of the Lan family, who still had some influence.

"Although this child's family conditions are average, they are just within the acceptable range. The most important thing is that his character, knowledge and conversation are all good." The grandmother was satisfied with Xiao Zhan who came to visit today. She felt that Rourou had a good vision.

It’s good to pick a high-quality boyfriend in your first love.

Lan Rui, who has always been very picky, agreed with her mother's point of view, but she still had some concerns: "The first time I met Xiao Zhan was at the house in Changning District. We talked for a long time. Mom, I agree with all the advantages you mentioned, but I can't help but feel a little worried."

"Later, I asked someone for some news about Xiao Zhan, and there was nothing wrong. However, the gap between their family backgrounds was too great. I was angry with her because of this at first. Now it seems that she is okay, but as a mother and a woman, I am afraid that they will end up making things too ugly, and Rourou will be the one who gets hurt in the end."

Although Lan Rui is a commercial lawyer, the law firm she founded mainly handles divorce cases, and she has witnessed too many scandals.

Marriage is not simply supported by love, and in the end it often ends up in a mess.

The grandmother thought her daughter was worrying too much and why was she worrying about something that hadn't happened yet.

"You, didn't you have this plan from the beginning? Just let the children go. If the two children can get married, you as a mother-in-law will naturally not treat them badly. I believe you will let the children sign a prenuptial agreement. Rourou is not stupid. Be careful not to worry too much, or you will age quickly."

Lan Rui glanced at her mother and realized that this was all she could do.

Lan Jing saw that her sister had become more open-minded, so she decided not to comfort her anymore and expressed her feelings: "I think this boy is good. Rourou looks very happy with him. Dad, don't you think so?"

Given the relationship between himself and his wife, and between the Lan and Si families, Sven doesn't have to worry about many things. He avoids business matters whenever possible, and he is truly a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family.

But when it comes to his granddaughter's happiness, Sven did not avoid it: "I listen to your mother. Aren't we all very satisfied with this child? But in the future, Rourou should be the one in charge. In this respect, she is very much like the Lan family's child."

Wen Kangan agreed with his father-in-law's words. He listened to what people and Xiao Zhan said and observed them at the same time.

Apart from her age, he was fine with everything else: "Dad is right. Rourou actually has very positive ideas most of the time. She helped Sister Lan with her work, set up a company, and bought Xinli shares. She's planning for the future."

“We originally thought she would stick with the entertainment industry, but we didn’t expect her to change so quickly.”

Everyone knows that Wenrou started her own company, invested, and acquired some shares of Xinli. She is slowly getting closer to his wife. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, the reason for his daughter's change lies with Xiao Zhan.

······

Yun Lei, as Lan Jing's husband, although he and his wife did not get along well at the beginning of their marriage, he gradually came to terms with it. As the person who promoted the external marriage in the Yun family, he gained benefits and his family gained benefits, and he could not have it all.

Later, Yun Lei also learned to be polite like his father-in-law, put aside some unnecessary patriarchal dignity, and live in the present.

Now he and his wife get along well and have a happy family. However, seeing that his niece has inadvertently followed the same path as his sister-in-law, he feels that fate is something that cannot be pushed away invisibly. The women of the Lan family have taken a dominant position in the relationship between men and women, either tangibly or intangibly.

Yun Lei knew that his niece valued love very much, but she would not give up her wealth. She could only pay more, which was unavoidable.

"Brother Wen, this is a good thing, isn't it? Someone will take care of your assets in the future. If Xiaochen continues on your path in the future, Rourou will still have to take care of the company's affairs." Yun Lei rarely spoke, but his words were very pertinent.

Thinking about his children's marriage problems, Yun Lei was a little worried: "Rou Rou already has a boyfriend. Maybe they will get married in a few years. Qingxi, Feiqiao, you better hurry up, especially you, Feiqiao."

The pressure to get married has fallen on them. Lan Feiqiao and Lan Qingxi looked at each other and could only laugh to deal with their father's urging to get married.

Wenrou pushed open the two doors of her bedroom with both hands, then gracefully extended a hand, inviting someone to come in.

"Thank you, it's my honor." Xiao Zhan accompanied Wenrou with a gentleman's gesture, which made Wenrou smile.

After entering the bedroom, Wenrou took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the brick-red carpet with intricate patterns printed on it.

Wenrou: "There are disposable slippers in the cabinet next to you. You can wear slippers or go without shoes. Please close the door later, sir. I need to turn on the central air conditioner."

Xiao Zhan: "Yes, beautiful lady." Following the gentle prompt, Xiao Zhan changed into disposable slippers and then closed the two heavy walnut doors inlaid with colored glass slowly.

She turned on the central air conditioning, quickly closed the window, and introduced her room to Xiao Zhan.

"I often stay in this room, so there are more things here. Uh... will this drive you crazy, as someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

Xiao Zhan smiled: "It's not so bad that I can't bear to read it. In fact, European pastoral style is like this. It's okay to have order in the chaos here." Except for the books scattered on the carpet, there are no other major problems.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Zhan saw the "lively" decoration: European pastoral style.

There are lots of plants and flowers, dark walnut furniture, floral fabric soft furnishings, and next to the spacious fireplace is a cabinet for tea cups. Many European tea sets can be seen through the transparent glass.

The most eye-catching thing is the colorful oil painting on the wall, which depicts a beautiful and lovely little girl.

Xiao Zhan: "Rou Rou, these are all you, the paintings are so beautiful." Coming to the wall where the paintings were hung, Xiao Zhan motioned for Wen Rou to look at the oil paintings on the wall. The most recent painting was the one that Wen Rou painted when she graduated from high school.

She was wearing a light pink Qing dynasty dress and had a Manchu hairstyle.

The clothes are gorgeous and retro, and the people are very nice.

Wenrou: "Yes, these paintings were drawn for me by my grandpa. He drew one for me every two years since I was 6 years old. But he stopped drawing for me after I went to college."

Xiao Zhan stared at the paintings on the wall and couldn't help but praise: "It turns out that my Rourou has been a beauty since she was a child." Looking at the little girls in these oil paintings, he thought they were very cute and looked like dolls in little skirts.

"However, this painting of wearing Manchu clothing is quite unique. You think of painting in Qing Dynasty clothing. I see many girls wearing pre-Qing Dynasty style Hanfu. Qing Dynasty clothing seems to appear more in film and television dramas."

Wenrou: "Because if we count back, in the early 20th century, the last woman who married into the family was also a Manchu. The Lan family had a history of marrying into the Manchu family during the Kangxi period, so there are many things in the Lan family that are full of the characteristics of that period, including this kind of clothing."

Wenrou pointed to the clothes he was wearing at the time, and then said, "In fact, if you count further, our ancestors married the Hu people. Some people are surprised that my cousin has a strong mixed-race look. In fact, it comes from the genes of our ancestors."

Xiao Zhan was surprised by the complicated relationship of Wenrou's family and the continuation of the family: "Hu people? Are there any specific records of their ethnicity?"

Wenrou: "As for those in Central Asia, it is impossible to verify their relationship there now. It has been hundreds of years, and the old clan's family has disappeared in the dust of history.

But the ancestors of the Hu people came here to do business with their families, and this is recorded.”

The central air conditioning had not yet reached the cooling point. Wenrou looked at the sweaty Xiao Zhan and could only go get him some water: "Just watch it yourself first. I'll get you some lemonade. You sweaty baby, you're sweating."

There is a refrigerator in Wenrou's bedroom, right next to the cabinet where the tea sets are kept.

He took out the kumquat lemonade that the servant had put in the lemon-yellow refrigerator, placed it on the small table covered with a floral tablecloth, then returned to the cabinet and took out two tea sets.

Wenrou: "Zanzan, drink some water,"

Xiao Zhan: "Yeah, okay."
