Chapter 5, Am I Proud?

I understand, you want to meet your daughter-in-law, right? Xu Jie asked

Hmph, we cannot let that kid take advantage of us

When he turned around, he realized that his colleagues who had gone out for interviews had returned. However, compared to usual, they all appeared anxious and flustered, as if something significant had occurred

He did not go out immediately; instead, he waited for a while with his phone in hand. When he saw that his mother did not call again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief

What happened

The man I know is named Xu Jie, and he is from Nanguo Village in Huairou, Beijing. His parents are pig farmers. Currently, he works as a reporter for the Lifestyle Channel at Beijing Television. It is speculated that he is likely using his job to get close to Su Yun

Wise indeed

Shi Fei returned to his workstation with a nose full of dust, feeling disgruntled. The more he thought about it, the more imbalanced and unfair he felt. Thus, he took out his phone and secretly registered a small account to leave a message on Su Yun's Weibo.

Wang Guizhi initially intended to confront and seek justice, but upon hearing her son's words, her anger dissipated significantly. Perhaps she had indeed placed too much pressure on her son, resulting in him delivering a miracle in return.

After talking for so long, it turns out that the clown is actually oneself

I have painstakingly raised this pig for over twenty years, and it was taken away by someone with a cabbage. How can you expect me not to be angry? Is that even possible?

... ...

He glanced at his colleagues around him and felt that this was not a suitable place for conversation, so he quickly got up and left the office, hiding in the restroom to take the call

"Mom, I actually wanted to give you a surprise." Xu Jie felt he could not let his mother down, so he said earnestly, "Didn’t you say that Aunt always shows off how excellent her daughter-in-law is in front of you? I’ve been thinking that I haven’t brought you any glory all these years, so I must make you proud when it comes to marrying a wife. That’s why I’ve been holding back for the past two years, just wanting to come up with a big surprise for you."

Xu Jie, having heard this, was about to explain to his other colleagues when Liu Ting beside him suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!" and immediately held her phone up in front of him, excitedly asking, "Xu Jie, did you also post your registration photo on Weibo? Does this mean that you and Su Yun's matter..."

It is truly baffling

"Mom, there are things that can be said calmly, there is no need to get angry, as anger can harm one's health." Xu Jie was soothing his mother's emotions while thinking about how to handle the situation next.

This is simple, just search for Su Yun on your phone, and there will be plenty of photos.

Wang Guizhi pondered carefully and felt that her son's words made sense. Therefore, she gradually tried to accept reality, saying, "Since you have already obtained the marriage certificate, and tomorrow happens to be the weekend, why not bring her home for your father and me to meet?"

"It is indeed a matter of joy, but for something as significant as obtaining a marriage certificate, shouldn't you consult my and your father's opinions?" she said

... ...

Since he left home to rent a place, the thing he has been most worried about is his mother's health. Now that he hears his mother sounding so energetic, he feels relieved.

Alas, the aura of a person is indeed something that cannot be concealed

Why

Looking at the other party again, not only did he marry a beautiful woman, but she is also a big star, and the depth of his good fortune is simply enviable and jealousy-inducing

As he walked back, filled with emotion, he suddenly heard hurried and dense footsteps in the corridor, followed by someone calling his name

Xu Jie is not someone who can be easily moved, yet at this moment, he feels a surge of tears welling up in his eyes

The village is not without internet access

Shi Fei sensed something from his colleague's face, abruptly snatching Liu Ting's phone. His slanted eyes fixed intently on the screen, and upon seeing the marriage registration photo posted beneath Xu Jie's Weibo, he was immediately filled with rage, blood rushing to his head, and his mind went "buzz" as he became completely dazed.

It's Mom

Others were busy checking their phones, and Xu Jie’s Weibo post was sent out eight minutes ago. At that time, everyone was anxiously rushing back, and no one paid attention to Xu Jie’s Weibo.

The most remarkable aspect is that the two individuals work very well together, often thinking along the same lines. Aside from their average family background, it is indeed difficult to identify any other shortcomings.

No way! Wang Guizhi is angry again. How can a son get married without his mother even having met his daughter-in-law, just because there was no time during the day and he returns at night?

Is the news about you and Su Yun true?" a beautiful woman inquired with concern

Zhou Min'er was preoccupied with her thoughts and completely ignored Shi Fei. She could not understand how a small reporter and a big star could end up together

In fact, he should be happy, because Xu Jie has obtained the certificate, making it impossible for him and Zhou Min'er to be together. Yet, he cannot find any joy at all.

At that time, he was in a relationship with Tang Fei, and his mother was unaware. Now that Su Yun is so openly posting pictures, it is impossible for his mother not to know

Zhou Min'er felt a twinge of discomfort upon hearing Xu Jie admit it in person, her heart filled not only with frustration but also a hint of disappointment. Biting her lip, she slowly withdrew from the crowd.

"But Su Yun mentioned Xu Jie in her Weibo post, how do we explain this?" asked Liu Ting, the female colleague with a ponytail, in confusion.

Her name is Zhou Min'er, and she is the host of "Serving the People." She also serves as the face of the entire program, being not only young and beautiful but also shrewd and capable, making her the dream lover in the hearts of many viewers

Buzz buzz buzz

This complex emotion is akin to seeing something you like while shopping, not feeling the urgency to purchase it at the moment, only to find that it has been bought by someone else when you pass by one day, inevitably leading to feelings of disappointment and dissatisfaction

At this moment, Xu Jie looked at Shi Fei and sincerely said, "Brother Fei, let me know when you marry Chang'e; I'll take care of the filming work."

He stood there in a daze, his eyes filled with disbelief

Xu Jie was taken aback and quickly said, "Tomorrow is not possible; there are tasks at the station these days, and I cannot return. Let's discuss it again after this period."

Hang up the phone quickly after speaking

As soon as he finished speaking, he was surrounded by his colleagues, cornered against the wall in a direct wall slam.

Wang Guizhi felt that her demands were not excessive

I have been working at the television station for five years, yet the number of times I have appeared on screen is few and far between. Especially after the other party joined this team, not only have the instances of partnering with Zhou Min'er decreased, but even the acceptance of my news reports has declined. I have now been reduced to a cameraman merely carrying the equipment.

Uh... perhaps everyone uses photos as their avatars, and Su Yun has also confused the illustrations with the book. The man turned his head and disdainfully glanced at Xu Jie, then spoke loudly: "If he can marry Su Yun, then I, Shi Fei, can marry Chang'e."

He tucked his phone away and walked out of the bathroom. As he walked, he noticed that the atmosphere around him was off; everyone passing by cast him strange glances. The men looked at him as if he were a rival in love, while the women regarded him as if he were Tang Seng. Even the giant pandas in the zoo did not receive such treatment

As soon as Xu Jie heard his mother start to scold, he immediately pulled the phone away from his ear and pretended to shout loudly into the surrounding air: "What? Okay, I'll go right away." Then he brought the phone back to his ear and, adopting an urgent tone, said: "Mom, I can't talk right now, our director is calling me. You take a look at the photos first, and I will definitely bring the person back to you in a while. Bye!"

Unfortunately, she never anticipated that before any positive news about the target was announced, she would suddenly be outmaneuvered by someone else, without any warning whatsoever

Xu Jie

He doesn't even know where Su Yun is, how can he take her home

Do you still know that you have a mother

Why do good things always happen to this kid

When Shi Fei saw Zhou Min'er leave, he immediately followed her with a spring in his step, not forgetting to provoke her by saying, "Min'er, don't you think that Xu Jie is just too pretentious? So what if he is with a female celebrity? What's so impressive about that? Acting all high and mighty!"

This is definitely my biological mother

This, how is this possible

Now the entire internet is talking about how good cabbage has been taken by pigs, but only my mother has a discerning eye to see through everything, knowing that it was the cabbage that led the pig away

"Min'er, the person in the photo is definitely not him!" Before Xu Jie could speak, a man holding a camera nearby sarcastically remarked, "Su Yun is a top-tier actress, how could she possibly marry a poor guy like Xu Jie? I say, it’s probably just someone who looks somewhat similar. Some even say I resemble the domineering CEO Huang Xiaoming, am I proud of that?"

"Agreed, but is there really a need to be in such a hurry?" The situation was too sudden, and Wang Guizhi found it a bit hard to accept.

The roar of middle-aged and elderly women emanated from the microphone, causing Xu Jie’s ears to buzz.

Mom, what is it?

As Xu Jie browsed online news, he took out his vibrating phone from his pocket. Upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately became tense, and his mind was in a state of chaos

"It won't do to be slow, Mom. Your son is just a small-time reporter, without any significant skills. It's not easy to have convinced a female celebrity, so we must quickly get the marriage certificate and make it official to prevent any changes. If it weren't for the advanced internet technology nowadays, I would have considered bringing you a grandchild right away" Xu Jie said with a serious expression, spouting nonsense.

"Farting, are you itching for trouble, do you believe that I..."

Shi Feisao's face instantly turned red, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to burrow into

"Do you not agree to my marriage?" Xu Jie asked

The son obtained a marriage certificate, and as a mother, she was completely unaware, not even knowing who her daughter-in-law was. If it weren't for the discussions among the employees, she would still be kept in the dark.

On the surface, everyone is just colleagues, but in reality, she has always been paying attention to Xu Jie. Although he is not as handsome as a young male star, over time, one finds him quite attractive, and he exudes a strong masculine aura.

Although the performance was exaggerated, it managed to get by in the end
