Chapter 22 - The Movie Queen's Domineering Fan (22)

In the evening, it was time for the family to watch TV after dinner, but whenever there is an emotional plot on TV, Mother Qiao would say a few words about Qiao Zixin. Qiao Zixin didn’t want to hear it, saying that she was too tired from the bus ride and went back to her room at 8 o’clock. She was blamed by Mother Qiao that she was not sweet at all, and didn’t even know how to talk to her family when she got home.

Qiao Zixin lies on the mat and sends a Wechat message to Xu Zifan, asking him what he is doing right now.

When Xu Zifan replied that he was dealing with company mail, Qiao Zixin smiled. It seemed that Xu Zifan had invested great enthusiasm for the company after opening the company. He especially liked to work overtime. She could imagine that Xu Zifan was now facing the laptop with an expressionless face, occasionally touching his chin in interest, and occasionally tapping his finger on the table while carefully thinking.

In fact, if you take a person to heart, you will unconsciously observe many of his small moves and personal preferences. She is like this, so is Xu Zifan. Like her mother, that has never cared about her. Her mother knows her husband’s and son’s preferences like the back of her hand. She is completely unneeded in this family.

Xu Zifan asked her how she was doing at home. She didn’t say anything about her troubles, only that the family was fine. She also told Xu Zifan that there’s a lake on the outskirts of the city. Although it freezes in winter, it’s the most scenic place in this town. Few people would go there for the Spring Festival. They can go there when they have time to have a look. She learned to swim in that lake.

Xu Zifan chatted with her for a long time, and towards 11 pm, she was urged to go to bed. She had to entertain guests the next day. After saying good night, Xu Zifan read the chat transcript thoughtfully and posted an anonymous post online.

[Excuse me, if a person is unhappy, how can you make her happy on New Year’s Eve and have a happy New Year?]

[Butterfly Orchid: If you look at this veteran’s question style, you can see that he is undoubtedly straightforward. He must be trying to please his girlfriend. Invite her to see a movie, send 99 flowers, have a candlelight dinner, and then go to see the beautiful fireworks!]

[Su Luoruo: Watch fireworks +1, New Year’s Eve movie recommendation: ‘Life is Beautiful’, Zixin and Zifan are in it. A comedy, your girlfriend would like it!]

[Lan Se: Be sure to send flowers, a handful of them! Be sure to watch ‘Life is Beautiful’. It’s very appropriate to watch ‘Life is Beautiful’ when unhappy. The trailer is great. It will definitely cheer your girlfriend up!]

Xu Zifan silently looked at the replies on the page and didn’t understand why some people guessed that he and Qiao Zixin were a couple when he posted the question anonymously. In fact, he didn’t think about this problem. In his own life, he was born in a slum, had no parents or relatives, and grew up alone. In order to not be bullied, he worked hard to become the boss of the whole slum. Then he started from scratch, left the slums to become an outstanding entrepreneur step by step, met business leaders, met political officials, and slowly entered the top circle.

At that time, he was already fifty years old, and he had been working hard for most of his life. How could he think about love and relationships? Even in marriage, it was a blind date, the two parties were just suitable to be together. In the end, he became famous and was not interested in coaxing a little girl to play with. He was an orphan and liked a warm and stable family. Of course, he would not do anything harmful to the family.

Later, he traversed several times, basically wearing cannon fodders to counterattack, he only guarded others twice. Once was guarding his parents and another was his younger sister. He was only concerned about his sister’s happiness all his life, and he was told that he had a sister-complex. This time, guarding Qiao Zixin, they were considered a couple by many people. He was busy with his work before and didn’t pay attention to it. Now when he saw that people said so, he simply sent a message and asked them directly.

[Excuse me, why do you all guessed that it was my girlfriend? If a man wants a woman to be happy all her life, can’t he be a good friend or brother or sister?]

[Mo Mo: Do you want to say that you only have a pure friendship between men and women? Emmm… Not to mention whether there is one or not, life is too long, if you are only friends, who will stay with you for the rest of your life? Her future husband will not let other men care whether she is happy or not.]

[Happy New Year: I used to have a good relationship with a childhood friend, but then his girlfriend was always jealous and disliked me, so we became strangers. When you are still young, you think that men and women could be good friends for life. When you grow up, you know that the relationship between men and women are complicated. If you can’t become a close lover, you will gradually be estranged from each other. I have never seen any exceptions.]

[Six to Fly: You show this post to that girl, she will beat you to death. Don’t be so nice to her if you just want to be a friend. Otherwise, how would she be able to fancy others in the future? She’s is happy if you don’t respond to her! I just confessed to my good brother yesterday. As a result, he said he didn’t like my type. How come you were nice to me if you don’t like me?! Who is worse than me? I am lovelorn during the New Year! What brother and sister relationship? We are clearly not related by blood! How could my heart not move when you are being so nice to me?! Compared to him, others are mud! Pisses me off!]

Xu Zifan felt that the world suddenly became rich and colorful. Originally, he thought that to be good to someone was just to be good to someone. He had a reason to keep going like this. However, this post received so many replies, which seemed to open a new door for him. It suddenly occurred to him that if Qiao Zixin married someone else in the future, in what capacity would he care about her? If she is in trouble and can’t solve it, will he make her husband jealous? Her life is so long, he is not related to Qiao Zixin, in what capacity can he accompany Qiao Zixin?

If his wife has such an eccentric protector, he will definitely not tolerate it.

Some netizens said that if he is too kind to Qiao Zixin, other suitors would be too inferior to him. Can Qiao Zixin really fall in love with others and get married happily? It seems that when filming ‘Life is Beautiful’, Qiao Zixin opposed in letting the heroine marry the handsome man, and insisted in letting the angel come down to earth and meet the heroine again. Does this mean that Qiao Zixin and these netizens think the same? When it comes to being good to Qiao Zixin, he feels that there is absolutely no one in the world who is sincerer than him, because he came to this world for Qiao Zixin.

Xu Zifan had a sleepless night, but not at a loss, thinking about it seriously. If he is the shadow behind, can Qiao Zixin be happy for the rest of her life? If he likes Qiao Zixin and marries Qiao Zixin, can he make her happy? Either way, once he has made a decision, it is impossible to change it. Of course, he should think about it carefully. He always believed for a long time that, emotions aren’t the most reliable, but the sense of responsibility will never change.

Qiao Zixin didn’t know that the person she was thinking about had begun to understand. She got up early in the morning and began to help Mother Qiao greet the guests. Father Qiao is the eldest. There are two younger brothers and three sisters below. The elders above are gone. Every year, everyone comes to the Qiao family home to spend the Spring Festival together. Six families, nine children. This year there is another family, it’s her second aunt’s brother’s family, giving off the feeling that the whole house was full.

Qiao Zixin, just like when she was a child, silently served them snacks such as fruit bowls and drinks, and was ready to go to the kitchen to help Mother Qiao cook.

“Yo! Isn’t this our big star? Why are you back this year?”

“Zixin, please sit down. What’s the matter with you, Lin Yan and Liu Jie? Are you the other woman or not? Lin Yan is quite handsome. Have you really been with him? I don’t know which of the news on the Internet is true and which is false. Please tell me about it.”

“And Xu Zifan! He is so handsome, I heard Aunt Yu say that you and he are not a couple. Introduce him to me, he is your fan, he must listen to you! I like him so much! If I could spend some time with him, I would die with no regrets.”

Aunt Qiao pushed them and frowned, “go go, what are you saying? Dying on the New Years?! Stop talking nonsense.” She turned and sat down with Qiao Zixin and said with a smile, “Zixin, come and let Second Aunt have a good look. It’s really a big change. You’re getting more and more beautiful, and even more beautiful than on TV.”

Qiao Zixin smiled faintly and looked at Qiao Zhipeng. She felt that her Aunt suddenly treated her so nicely. She must be asking her to buy a school district home for Qiao Zhipeng. She used to use her as a servant girl.

Who knew that Aunt Qiao beckoned her nephew and said, “look, this is Zhang Hao. You two played together when you were kids, don’t you remember? He told me a while ago that he likes you very much. Let me introduce you. As soon as I saw it, I thought, wouldn’t it be a match? That’s a good thing! The more I look, the more you two look suited for each other. The more good looking a couple are, the children born in the future would surely be good-looking, which is just right!”

Zhang Hao smiled sheepishly and said hello to Qiao Zixin, but his eyes stared at Qiao Zixin aggressively, making her feel violated.

Qiao Zixin looked at Aunt Qiao and said bluntly, “Sorry, Auntie, I’m not thinking about this for the time being. Zhang Hao and I are not suitable, so please don’t mention it. I’ll go help my mother cook.”

Aunt Qiao grabbed her and her face fell. “Why won’t you give me some face? The last time you called your mother and cried that you had been cheated, I was kind enough to introduce you to a job, but you wouldn’t come back. Now that I’m introducing you to such a good partner, you refuse without even considering it. What do you mean? Are you looking down on your Aunt?”

The cousin who said she wanted to meet Xu Zifan took a jealous look at Qiao Zixin, and said, “the big star knows so many rich second generations, and dislikes people from her own hometown. ”

Aunt Qiao looked at Qiao Zixin, calmly. “Zhang Hao is now an undergraduate and has been admitted as a civil servant. He has a promising job in our government hall. Zixin, I didn’t mean that. When you are a star, you are wasting your youth. Who will look at you in two years? Even if the job is unstable, people still love to watch TV. So many people all over the country watch it. I don’t know what to say. If Zhang Hao doesn’t like you, where would you find such a good person? You don’t want to be a mistress for those bosses in big cities, right? It’s not good to be too vain.”

Qiao Zixin shook off her hand and said in a cold tone, “Auntie Qiao, you humiliate me with both your meaning and implications, and you still want me to give you face? When I was still the poor little girl, you scolded and ordered me around!” She swept over the disgruntled faces one by one. “Since you dislike me, don’t call me back, and I’m not interested in looking at your hypocritical faces. Spend this year by yourselves!”
