A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 278 The Real World Is Unreasonable

Wang Qing's depressed mood improved a lot when she saw her daughter going to complain. She turned around and talked to him enthusiastically.

"Jinnian, just treat this place as your own home. I've prepared a room for you. It's right next to Didi's bedroom. Come on, I'll take you to the second floor."

"Auntie, that's not necessary. I've already booked a hotel nearby." He said quickly.

"How can you live outside when you come home for the first time? Listen to my arrangements. Just believe me, we have enough room for you." Without saying anything, Wang Qing dragged him upstairs.

Hearing the noise in the living room, a kind-looking old lady walked out from the back room. Although she was thin and slightly hunched, her face was rosy and her complexion was very good.

Chen Jinnian knew at a glance that the other person was Wang Yidi's grandmother, whom he had met on a video call before.

However, Wang Yidi's grandmother did not recognize him immediately. Instead, she asked Wang Qing in confusion, "Who is this boy?"

"Mom, Didi's boyfriend."

Wang Yidi's grandmother suddenly realized and quickly reached out to hold Chen Jinnian's hand tightly. "Good boy, I remember now. I've seen you before." She looked around again and nodded with satisfaction. "You are so handsome and tall. You are a perfect match for my Didi."

"Young man, what's your name and where are you from?" Wang Yidi's grandmother continued to ask gently. Her pair of dry, wrinkled hands were unusually warm, reminding Chen Jinnian of his grandmother and great-grandmother. Every time he went back, they would hold his hands tightly like this.

"Grandma, my name is Chen Jinnian, and I'm from Beijing."

"From Beijing, it doesn't sound like it. I don't hear any Beijing accent in you." The Wang family moved from Beijing, so Wang Yidi's grandmother knew very well how Beijingers speak.

"My family isn't from Beijing. My grandfather is from Henan and moved there later. People my age start speaking Mandarin after they go to school."

In fact, Chen Jinnian doesn't speak Beijing dialect at all. He has a hard time hearing the swallowing and connecting of the sounds in Beijing dialect, let alone speaking it himself.

Seeing that Wang Yidi's grandmother liked Chen Jinnian very much, Wang Qing did not mention going upstairs, but took the suitcase from Chen Jinnian.

"Mom, you and Jinnian go to the living room to chat. I'll take the luggage upstairs first."

"Auntie, I don't need this. This is a gift I prepared for my grandparents." Chen Jinnian hurriedly stopped her.

"Gifts?" Wang Qing quickly lowered her head to look at the huge box. She thought it was just luggage. "What kind of gifts do you bring when you come all this way?"

"It's just a little thought, it's worthless." He said with a smile.

Wang Yidi's grandmother happily led him to the living room. Seeing that the old man had spread the tea sets everywhere, she went up and hit her husband hard on the head.

"The child has been here for quite some time, and he hasn't even poured the water. Who is he sitting here with his arms and legs spread out for?"

"Why did you hit me? Didi was bullied, and I was just trying to understand the situation." The old man defended himself aggrievedly.

"Who dares! Didi, tell grandma and I'll help you deal with her."

Before Wang Yidi could say anything, her cousin rushed in. When she saw Chen Jinnian in the living room, she rushed over like a pig, bringing with her a sour and smelly smell.

"How do you drive like that? You even threw my suitcase next to me and left it there. Do you have any manners?"

Chen Jinnian gently fanned his face with his hands and said lightly, "It stinks."

My cousin's face instantly turned from green to red. She raised her finger and pointed at his nose, cursing, "Oh, bah, who the hell are you?"

"Who the hell are you?" Wang Yidi's grandmother raised her hand and slapped it aside. "Why should my child carry your luggage? Who do you think you are?"

"Aunt, you actually help a stranger." The cousin said in disbelief. In her opinion, he was just a wild man brought back by Wang Yidi. Not kicking him out was already giving him face.

"Outsider? I think you are the outsider. Who asked you to come?"

"Aunt, you're really making your niece sad by saying this. Was it wrong for me to come to my uncle's birthday party?" After saying that, she squatted on the ground and started to throw a tantrum. "Mom, my uncle didn't recognize me as soon as you left. I won't live anymore."

Chen Jinnian watched her performance with great interest. His expression was a little exaggerated, his eyes lacked conviction, and his emotions were not sincere, only staying at the stage of memorizing the lines. He tried hard for a long time, but did not shed a single tear, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.

Gradually, he could no longer see any further.

"Cut, your performance is terrible. It's so poorly executed. Your facial features are strained, but your inner emotions aren't being mobilized at all. No, you have to immerse yourself in the role, pretending to be a filial daughter, pretending to have a deep mother-daughter relationship. If you can't even fool yourself, how can you fool the audience? Come, follow my instructions and perform it again. I'll see how it goes."

Chen Jinnian's words completely confused the sullen cousin. She opened her mouth, not knowing whether to continue crying or stop, but it seemed that neither option was easy to choose.

The old man rubbed his pounding temples. He could tolerate this niece purely out of affection for his deceased sister, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a temper.

When no one expected it, the old man simply picked up the teapot and threw it over. It broke into several pieces when it hit the floor, and tea and tea leaves spilled all over the floor.

"You still have the nerve to mention your mom? When your mom passed away, your eldest brother was busy running around in the hospital, contributing money and effort. And you, for two whole months, you didn't even go. Now that your mom is gone, you shamelessly come out and divide the inheritance with your eldest brother."

Wang Yidi saw that his grandfather was shaking with anger, and he quickly raised his hand to rub his chest, fearing that he would get sick from anger.

"Uncle, I'm busy trading stocks and I really don't have time." Wang Yi's cousin wanted to explain, but the master didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

"Get out, get out of here!" The old man waved his hands repeatedly.

"What? I just arrived and spent so much money on the flight, and you're kicking me out without even letting me eat. I won't leave unless you pay me back for the plane ticket."

Chen Jinnian was really surprised to see Wang Yidi's cousin sitting on the ground acting like a rogue. It turned out that there was no logic in the real world. Whoever makes a scene is right.

The old man was so annoyed that he said directly to Wang Yidi's mother:

"Didi's mom, give him 5,000 yuan and tell her to leave immediately. Our family will have nothing to do with them from now on. If they come again, call the police directly."

My cousin took the money and counted it happily with her fingers dipped in saliva.

Seeing that everyone had ugly faces, Chen Jinnian suppressed his nausea and forcibly pushed the other person out of the house. For such a money-hungry relative, staying for one more second would only cause trouble for everyone.

After her cousin was driven away, Wang Yidi said dissatisfiedly, "Grandpa, why did you give her money back?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa will keep his word and will definitely help you vent your anger."

The old man picked up his phone and called, "Da Zhuang, it's not about dinner tonight. I'm not rushing you. I know you're busy. It's about your cousin's son. You don't have to arrange for him to join the company. Just open it. He can go wherever he wants. I don't care."

Then, he found the phone number of an old subordinate. If he remembered correctly, the other party worked in Lianyuncheng, the same city as Wang Yidi's cousin's home.

After thinking about it for a while, he made the call.
