Chapter 164 Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings
"Going to Sucheng, why?" Brother Chen was a little slow to react when he heard Zheng Lei's instructions on the phone.
"Xia Anruo's first concert on tour is in Sucheng, and it happens to be today. If I'm not mistaken, they should be going to Sucheng to attend the concert." Zheng Lei explained.
Based on what Zheng Lei knew about the relationship between Chu Ze and Xia Anruo, if it was really as he expected, and Chu Ze happened to be traveling on the day of Xia Anruo's concert, such a coincidence, it is very likely that he was going to attend the concert.
"You guys should go to Sucheng now and wait for a while. Maybe you can take some interesting photos this time." Zheng Lei urged again.
"Okay, we'll set off right away." Brother Chen responded immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Brother Chen took his younger brother out of the high-speed rail station and drove straight to Sucheng on the highway.
Zheng Lei also put down his phone, tapped the documents on the table with his fingers, and narrowed his eyes.
If Xia Anruo and Chu Ze really had the relationship he guessed, as long as he took the photo, he would have the biggest handle on Xia Anruo.
……
Chu Ze certainly didn't know that they had been targeted, and he was still chatting with Cheng Ran in his seat in the waiting hall.
Li Xuanxuan glanced at Chu Ze across from her and whispered to Chu Wanqing, "By the way, isn't your brother still a graduate? How come he's married?"
"Ah? You're not married? Who said you were married?" Chu Wanqing was eating cookies and was a little confused when he heard Li Xuanxuan's question.
"Didn't you say you had a sister-in-law...or did you have another brother?" Li Xuanxuan scratched her head in confusion.
"No, even though we're not married, I can call my brother's girlfriend sister-in-law." Chu Wanqing explained.
Although common sense says that one can only call her that after marriage, Chu Wanqing is full of confidence that her brother and Sister An Ruo can be together until the end.
She is the leader of these two most loyal CP parties.
Li Xuanxuan nodded in understanding, and then asked out of curiosity, "Then your sister-in-law is so well-connected and powerful, what kind of job does she do?"
"This..." Chu Wanqing hesitated when he heard the question and was unable to answer for a while.
She didn't know what to say, after all, she hadn't thought about this problem in advance.
Seeing that Chu Wanqing seemed a little embarrassed, Li Xuanxuan quickly waved her hand: "I was just asking casually. You don't need to tell me such private matters. I am too presumptuous."
"It's okay, it's just that my sister-in-law's job is rather special, so it's not convenient to tell you. But my sister-in-law is quite rich anyway." This was all Chu Wanqing could say.
"Is your sister-in-law a rich second-generation?" Qin Yue, who heard the conversation between the two, also joined in.
"I'm not sure about that." Chu Wanqing shook his head and pretended to be confused.
"That's great. I really envy you for having such a great sister-in-law." Qin Yue sighed.
After waiting in the waiting hall for half an hour, the train finally arrived at the station. It takes about two and a half hours to take the high-speed rail from Jiangcheng to Sucheng, which is quite fast.
By the time they arrived at their destination, it was already noon when Chu Ze and his group came out of the Sucheng high-speed rail station, so they went to a nearby restaurant for a simple lunch and then went to the hotel they had booked in advance.
This time, Chu Ze was very generous and covered all the expenses for everyone. Since he was paying for it himself, he didn't have to consider other people's financial conditions. Chu Ze was not stingy and directly chose a relatively luxurious suite.
There are three double rooms in total. Chu Ze and Cheng Ran occupy one, and Chu Wanqing and his three roommates occupy the remaining two.
Cheng Ran looked at the luxurious suite and sighed: "Brother Ze, how about I hang out with you after graduation?"
Holding on to the right thighs is the code to wealth in this society.
"Why would you want to hang out with me? I don't run a company. Are you going to come to my house and be my nanny?" Chu Ze rolled his eyes.
"It's not impossible. A monthly salary of 5,000 is fine. I'm not picky." Cheng Ran said in a very single manner.
Rather than being a slave for other capitalists, it is better to be a slave for your own brothers.
"Forget it, I don't want a male mother." Chu Ze refused.
Cheng Ran: “?”
The girl was also lying on the soft bed, with an expression of being inexperienced. This time, it was finally not Chu Wanqing who played the role of Aunt Liu.
"Wow, Qingqing, this room must cost a lot per night, right?" Fan Siqi sat on the soft mattress and looked at the interior of the room. It didn't look like the kind of room that cost two or three hundred yuan per night.
"I don't know, but my brother ordered it anyway." Chu Wanqing never cared about this matter. Chu Ze was in charge of it, and she was only responsible for acting cute.
"It's too expensive, isn't it a bit bad?" Fan Siqi felt a little embarrassed.
The ticket was free, but even the hotel booking and the travel expenses were all paid for by others. I felt a little guilty about accepting things from others for no reason.
And it looks like it costs a lot of money.
"How about we pay for the rent ourselves?" Fan Siqi asked hesitantly.
"It's okay, my brother doesn't care about these small amounts of money." Chu Wanqing waved his hand, telling Fan Siqi not to mind it so much.
With Chu Ze's current assets, this amount of money is just like an ordinary person spending three dollars to buy a bottle of Coke, a drop in the bucket.
Otherwise, with his stingy personality, how could he be so generous?
"But your brother hasn't graduated yet, where would he get the money...Oh, your sister-in-law has money." Fan Siqi was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly understood.
Chu Wanqing scratched his head.
It seemed as if some strange misunderstanding had arisen again.
But it doesn’t matter. Too much debt is better than too much trouble. Many people who misunderstand me don’t make a difference. And it is indeed half true.
The concert will start at 7pm, and admission is allowed one hour in advance. Audiences with VIP tickets can enter half an hour earlier, one and a half hours in advance.
But the concert hadn't started yet, so there was no point in going so early. VIP tickets had a dedicated entrance anyway, so they didn't have to queue up with a bunch of people holding ordinary tickets.
So Chu Ze and his friends finished their dinner and rested until half past five before leaving the hotel.
But I never expected that... there was no need to squeeze in the queue, but it was crowded on the road.
There was a traffic jam on the way to the concert. Chu Ze had originally planned that it would only take more than 20 minutes by taxi from the hotel to the sports center.
As a result, it’s been half an hour and we haven’t even reached half the distance.
Being stuck in traffic doesn't give you VIP treatment.
Even if you are the king of heaven, you have to block it.
"Have you arrived?" Xia Anruo sent a WeChat message to ask during the traffic jam.
"Traffic jam~" Chu Ze responded with a helpless expression.
It goes without saying that this traffic jam is definitely related to Xia Anruo's concert. The road is full of people going to the concert. Of course, the severe traffic jam is also related to the evening rush hour.
Once two traffic jam BUFFs overlap, it will be really difficult to move forward.
"How long will it take to get there?"
"I doubt I'll be able to make it even when your concert starts. The car hasn't moved for five minutes. If I'm late, you won't deny me entry, right?" Chu Ze looked out the window. It was useless to worry about the traffic jam. His main concern now was whether he would be denied entry.
"No, it's not an exam. If you're late, the most you'll do is miss the previous performance. If you're really not allowed in, you can find Sister Liao and ask her to bring you in." Xia Anruo assured Chu Ze.
How could Chu Ze not be allowed to enter her concert?
Fortunately, the traffic police came in time to direct traffic. It took more than an hour to reach the destination, and there were only more than ten minutes left before the start.
I ran all the way, hurriedly checked my ticket and entered the venue. When I found my seat, it was already seven o'clock.
Yu Yang had arrived at the front row a long time ago. Because the tickets Xia Anruo gave them were for adjacent seats, he and his girlfriend sat next to Cheng Ran's seat, Chu Ze sat next to Cheng Ran, and on the other side sat Chu Wanqing's roommate Fan Siqi.
"Hey, why don't you introduce me?" Chu Ze looked at the girl next to Yu Yang and pursed his lips. "Ahem, Yu Yuting, my girlfriend." Yu Yang coughed dryly and introduced her.
"Hello."
The girl named Yu Yuting leaned forward slightly from her seat, stuck her head out and nodded as a greeting to Chu Ze, then shrank back timidly, looking quite shy.
Seems a bit socially anxious.
Tsk, this stinky 2D guy’s girlfriend is not only his childhood sweetheart, but also a silent one.
At seven o'clock sharp.
"It's about to begin! It's about to begin!"
"Ahhh, I'm so looking forward to it!"
Amid the cheers of the girls behind, the lights in the gymnasium suddenly went out, the spotlights shone on the stage, and the music slowly sounded. Accompanied by the singing, under the bright lights, Xia Anruo, wearing a dazzling dress, walked onto the stage gracefully.
The audience instantly erupted in cheers and applause.
The fans roared An Ruo's name like fanatical believers.
Chu Ze stared blankly at the graceful and elegant figure on the stage. After not seeing her for more than two months, she was still as stunning as ever.
Looking back at the audience waving glow sticks and countless fans shaking their hands and cheering, at this moment Xia Anruo was the pearl, being adored by everyone present.
Chu Ze looked at this scene and somewhat understood Xia Anruo's dream of wanting more people to hear her singing.
After the warm-up, the atmosphere of the whole venue was successfully aroused and it was very exciting.
But Cheng Ran, who should have been extremely excited at this moment, didn't seem as excited as last time for some reason.
After half an hour, Cheng Ran elbowed Chu Ze and whispered in his ear: "Well, let's change seats."
"Why?" Chu Ze didn't understand why they had to change positions.
My position is not much better than Cheng Ran's. Aren't they both in the front row?
"Look..."
Cheng Ran hesitated to speak and pointed at Yu Yang next to him. He saw him and his girlfriend talking and laughing in each other's ears, and even playing around from time to time.
"Damn it, I can't take it anymore." Cheng Ran stood up with a constipated look on his face.
It's so exciting.
Is this still a living market?
Can you consider the feelings of single people?
Chu Ze finally understood and almost laughed out loud.
It's really hard for someone.
After Cheng Ran and Chu Ze changed seats, out of sight, out of mind, they could finally no longer smell the sour smell of love next to them and could happily listen to An Ruo's concert.
Bring up my glow stick!
Let me show you what real crazy cheering is.
Then Fan Siqi next to him was frightened by Cheng Ran.
"Senior... do you like An Ruo so much?" Fan Siqi couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, I've been a fan for ten years. I've liked An Ru since she was not that popular." Cheng Ran said proudly.
"Really? Me too! I've been a fan of An Ruo for a long time." Fan Siqi turned around in surprise when she heard that.
"Very early? How early?" Cheng Ran glanced at her.
"About two or three years." Fan Siqi pursed her lips and thought for a while.
"Tsk, two or three years is considered early?" Cheng Ran showed a disdainful expression.
Fan Siqi frowned, looking a little unhappy: "What's wrong? An Ruo has only been in the industry for about three or four years. Isn't that early enough?"
"I had fans as soon as I debuted. Could you have been earlier than me?" Cheng Ran laughed and seemed quite proud when he said this.
"I……"
Fan Siqi was speechless for a moment.
Chu Ze, who was listening nearby, almost had a cerebral congestion and high blood pressure. The corners of his mouth twitched and he poked him secretly with his fingers behind his back.
"Why are you poking me?" Cheng Ran turned his head away in confusion.
"Do you ever talk to a girl like that?"
"What did I say? Not the truth?"
"..."
Chu Ze held it in for a long time, but finally gave up and said nothing.
Forget it, it’s hopeless.
Damn it, I gave you the chance but you didn't use it.
You are all fans of An Ruo. You have such a great common hobby and so many common topics. Why are you comparing who became her fan earlier?
What are you comparing to? A banana, a stick, or a hammer!
He is also a talent.
If you are not single, who is? How dare you be jealous of others?
My brother tried his best.
Seeing Cheng Ran still arguing with Fan Siqi over who was the first fan, Chu Ze covered his head and felt a pain in his balls.
Never mind, let it go.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I enjoy happiness without children and grandchildren.
Just pretend that this rebellious son never existed.
It's better to just watch your wife and enjoy your life instead of worrying about these trivial matters...
Turn your attention back to the stage.
A year has passed, but Chu Ze still remembers the scene of Xia Anruo's last concert vividly.
At that time, they were still strangers who had only met each other a few times and said a few words to each other. Who would have thought that in just one year, on the same stage, with the same VIP seat, this actress who was the center of attention on the stage and sought after by thousands of people had become his girlfriend.
Chu Ze couldn't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable and fate is indeed a wonderful thing.
Compared to a year ago, Chu Ze could also clearly feel that Xia Anruo's singing skills had improved significantly. Even though her singing skills were already solid before, after this year, especially the training of "Who is the King of Singers", Xia Anruo is now obviously more proficient in singing.
He can sing all kinds of high notes and transitions with ease, and seems to be developing into a top-notch singer.
Xia Anruo had just finished singing "Legend" on the stage. She was breathing lightly, listening to the thunderous applause and cheers from the audience. She felt unprecedented satisfaction. Her eyes quickly scanned the audience, looking for something.
It was not until she saw Chu Ze's figure, clapping and smiling at her, that Xia Anruo finally showed an extremely sweet and brilliant smile on her face.
As soon as this heart-warming smile appeared on the big screen, the fans at the scene screamed.
Only Chu Ze understood that this smile was not for everyone present, but belonged to him alone.
