Chapter 407 Marriage with a son
Chapter 407 Marriage with a son
Many children who were abducted when they were young find it difficult to get close to their biological parents even if they return home, because without the family affection accumulated over the years to maintain the bond, something is inevitably missing.
The same is true.
In Fan Wumian's eyes, Silly Old Fan looked like he had fallen from the sky.
Moreover, she was almost like a street urchin, which often made him so angry that his lungs ached. So after she graduated from high school and left home, he no longer cared about her. He wanted both sides to be well, and that was the most comfortable way.
Now, thanks to his fame and his own unique acting skills, Silly Old Fan has successfully become a well-known Hong Kong star, and has had two or three girlfriends in succession.
I heard that several rich ladies often bought him things and they already drove a Range Rover with a white roof, which made Fan Wumian suspect that he was a late bloomer and had some special skills.
Otherwise, with Silly Old Fan's eccentric personality and ordinary figure and appearance, it would be difficult for him to conquer those wealthy Hong Kong women who are as fierce as wolves in their thirties and as fierce as tigers in their forties just by relying on his celebrity status, let alone get them to willingly spend so much money on him.
Fan Wumian was simply convinced by this.
The gigolo that he didn't have was taken advantage of by the silly old Fan who was nearly fifty years old.
The screenwriting work for "Trident" has already begun. It mainly tells the story of three retired veteran police officers who regroup due to an accident and use their early experience to solve major cases.
The tentative leading actors are Sha Lao Fan and Uncle Da. The crew has just started preparing around the two of them and it is estimated that filming will not start until the end of the year.
Fan Wumian has arranged five or six roles for Silly Old Fan, but this is the first time he has been the leading actor. He is worried that his popularity cannot support the entire drama, so he has to choose a talented actor for the third leading role.
After finishing the call with Uncle Tat, he searched for information online and was more optimistic about Huang Zihua, who had excellent acting skills, and planned to talk to him in advance to see if he could squeeze out time.
It is now well known in the circle that almost every actor who works with Fan Wumian can become famous. Even his friends Mantis and Youpiao became famous because of the movie "Those Years" and successfully obtained priority in choosing a mate in school.
This results in other crews often begging actors to take roles, while he gives some opportunities here, which makes the first- and second-tier stars flattered. Occasionally, some can't be invited, often mainly because of schedule conflicts.
June 6th, Sunday morning.
Fan Wumian passed customs and arrived in Hong Kong City, and took a car straight to the Repulse Bay mansion.
Some time ago, he received a call from his best friend Mantis, asking about being urged to get married due to an unexpected pregnancy.
Later, after Mantis's parents met the girl's parents, they discovered that they had been colleagues in the mall in their early years and had gotten along very harmoniously.
In no time, the marriage was finalized during a short meal, but because Mantis' girlfriend's fetus was unstable and she had to take care of the pregnancy for two months, it has been delayed until now.
This time, he lent his own mansion to his best friend Mantis for an outdoor wedding, and also booked more than 3888 banquet tables in the Treasure Boat. The price of each table, including drinks, was yuan, and there were lobsters, abalone, grouper, etc.
Although it was not the most expensive banquet dish in the Treasure Boat, both Mantis's family and the girl's family were in mediocre condition, and arranging meals of this quality was already quite good.
After all, we are friends who have grown up together, so it is inevitable that I need to spend some money to show my appreciation. I can directly use the expenses of the banquet to offset the gift money.
It was almost 10 o'clock in the morning.
Fan Wumian met a group of friends in his own mansion.
Everyone was quite knowledgeable about the rules and didn't mess up the lawn in his back garden. The decoration was quite exquisite. Only close relatives and friends were invited, and everyone else could go directly to Zhenbaofang for the banquet.
When Mantis saw Fan Wumian, he gave him a big hug and said with a bright smile:
"Wow, big brother, you really give me enough face!"
"There were many reporters outside taking pictures before. I'm afraid it will be on the news tonight. Looking around Hong Kong, there are few more suitable wedding venues than this one."
"No more words to say. I will definitely have a few drinks with you at lunch. Don't blame me for not asking you to be the best man. I was afraid that no one would care about me as the groom from beginning to end. And the fat and meat dishes also didn't let you be the best man because they were afraid that you would steal the bridesmaid from them."
The matter of the best man had already been discussed over the phone.
Fan Wumian was not interested in the first place, so he just showed up to join in the fun, which was easier and less troublesome. He replied:
"Congratulations, I didn't expect you to be the first to get married, and so early."
Not so happy after listening to it.
Mantis suddenly felt melancholy and whispered:
"Who said it wasn't? I thought I could be carefree until I was in my thirties before I could think about these things. Recently, I've been busy with my girlfriend and there are so many things to do every day. I'm almost annoyed. I really envy you guys."
Judging from the tone of his voice, he is indeed quite envious. He is at the age where he should be having fun, but he has already trapped himself.
Mantis and the person she is getting married today only considered getting married because of the unexpected pregnancy, and were pushed around by both sides' parents throughout the process.
To say how much you love someone, it obviously doesn't mean you have to grow old together and support each other.
Fan Wumian paused, then changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to do after you get married? Will you still live with your parents?"
The mantis replied:
"That's not necessary. Her family has an old house of over 490 square feet in Kwun Tong, which we can live in first. But when her brother gets married, she has agreed in advance that we should move out. Her brother doesn't have a girlfriend yet, so it's not too late to consider it later."
These troubles in life seemed to be very far away from Fan Wumian. Since he became rich, the circles he came into contact with became more and more high-end.
Without making too much of a promise, Fan Wumian just pretended to be surprised and replied:
"It's good for you. The two of you can decorate the wedding room. It should be very comfortable to live in." Mantis replied in a low voice:
"That's it. Anyway, she will belong to her brother in the future. I gave him 19 yuan as a betrothal gift. I don't know if he will return it to me if he needs money to raise the child."
Fan Wumian was led by Mantis to greet the bride and bridesmaids. The three ordinary young bridesmaids, wearing pink dresses, were so excited that they almost fainted when they saw him.
Some people praised him for his handsomeness, some praised his beautiful mansion, and some asked him all kinds of questions and wanted to get Fan Wumian to play games with them.
how to say.
When Fan Wumian saw Mantis’ wife for the first time, he felt that this 20-year-old girl with a bulging belly was very shrewd.
He spoke up for Mantis several times, saying that he played games at home all day and still had no job after graduation.
For Mantis, having a smarter wife might be a good thing, but Fan Wumian only felt that his impression of her was average.
The main reason is that the living atmosphere is different. When getting along with Zhuang Muxi, Feng Ying'er and others, I can gain a lot of emotional value and have more topics to talk about.
Mantis is still studying, and if he can't make ends meet, Fan Wumian will naturally choose to help him.
On the wedding day, when they met for the first time, his wife secretly tried to ask for some benefits and didn't treat me as an outsider at all, which inevitably made me feel a little uncomfortable.
However, from the perspective of Mantis’ wife.
Her husband is so young and the family income is not well-off. Today, she is shocked by the luxury houses and cars and feels a huge gap. Of course, she hopes that Fan Wumian can help Mantis.
As Mantis and his wife prepared to walk the red carpet, Fan Wumian continued to exchange a few polite words with both sets of parents.
At this moment.
He came to Youpiao and heard Youpiao sighing:
"How tragic! Why do I always feel that Mantis is being taken to the execution ground today? Brother Tianwang, you haven't seen his wife, right? How does she feel about him?"
".He should be someone who knows how to live. He looks okay."
Fan Wumian's words had just fallen.
Youpia looked around and gossiped:
"He's okay, but too strong. After she became pregnant, she felt uncomfortable and wouldn't let Mantis come out to eat with us. He had to go back home at 8:30 every time and could only sleep on the sofa. We haven't seen him for more than a month. I just heard someone mention that if you were the groom today, it would be a great honor for your ancestors."
Fan Wumian continued:
"That's a nice thought. It takes two to tango, and you need my approval. When the two families first started living together, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of trouble. I suggested giving a gift of 10 yuan, or helping to pay for the banquet. I think Mantis wanted the money, but after asking the girl, he chose to save face in front of relatives and friends."
Youpiao had heard about this from the mantis, and smacked his lips:
"What's the point of pretending to be rich? No matter how splendid the banquet is, if you don't live a good life, you will still be ridiculed by gossips."
Fan Wumian replied:
"It's easier for two people to live together, but there will be more troubles after having a baby. I suddenly thought about what I should give the baby when it is born."
"what to give?"
"A confinement nanny and a childcare nanny will take care of the baby until he or she turns one year old. It only costs a little money to hire one."
".No more words to say. You are my good brother for life. Remember to follow the same standards when I get married and have children."
As Youpiao spoke, he almost stuck to Fan Wumian and added:
"It's good to hire someone to take care of the kids, but I think you might as well just give Mantis some money so that he doesn't have no status at home. The brothers get together less and less often. It's okay that you're busy with work all year round, but I don't want to occasionally invite Mantis for a drink and have to look at his girlfriend's, oh, wife's face."
".It seems to make sense."
Fan Wumian didn't take these small things seriously. He had few real friends nowadays, so he might as well spend a little money and have some fun.
Thinking back to the last time Mantis called me, I was just busy watching the fun. Now thinking about it carefully, it felt more like a "cry for help".
Unfortunately, I was too busy at that time and did not understand the situation carefully. If I had asked a few more questions, I might have advised Mantis, who is only 20 years old this year, to think carefully before making a decision.
He said to Fatty:
"Mantis didn't seem to be that interested, and was hesitant on the wedding day, which actually explains a lot."
"Many times, our subconscious mind has already made choices for us. When we see two clothes we like in succession, it is better to choose the latter. When we are hesitant about whether we should buy it, it is better not to buy it. When we feel that we will regret it, we will most likely really regret it in the future."
"But now that the rice has been cooked, you guys shouldn't say anything more. What if you fall in love after a while? There aren't so many destined marriages in the world. It's already pretty good to be able to live comfortably together."
Youpiao was surprised:
"Could it be that when people get rich, their brains also become smarter? These words really make sense. It's like me going to a restaurant again. I want to eat pork chop buns and curry rice. I'm afraid I'll regret it, so I just order two portions."
