Chapter 448 No fate
Chapter 448 No fate
Inside the house, Lin Qingyue was still standing there, but her eyes seemed a little more relaxed, with a slight smile on her lips, and she was secretly making gestures to him.
Wu Mu curled his lips at her and snorted, then got into the car and drove outside under the vigilant gaze of the guards.
After the car drove out of the old cadres' residence and left the security area, the relaxed expression on Wu Mu's face faded little by little, and his brows were already frowned.
Although he had always known about Lin Qingyue's family before, he had never had any real sense of it and didn't pay attention to it.
But now, he suddenly realized that when this thing really happened, it would be like a mountain standing in front of him. No one would say it openly, but it was right in front of him.
To be honest, if his girlfriend looked down on herself because of her family, he would definitely break up with her without saying a word.
If it's not suitable, find a suitable one. It sounds like he stuck it there on purpose.
But the situation now is that my girlfriend is deeply in love with me, but her family looks down on her.
When he thought of Lin Qingyue's nervous attitude just now, he felt helpless as if he could not forget the favor of a beauty.
But, Lin Xueming is his girlfriend's father after all. If he takes a harsh attitude, it will only intensify the conflict and make Lin Qingyue uncomfortable.
“It’s a mess.”
Wu Mu leaned back in his chair and exhaled slightly.
At the same time, he felt a little gloomy in his heart. He couldn't explain it to others. Would Lin Xueming just watch things go on like that?
After Lin Xueming drove away Wu Mu, who was not willing to talk, he did not go directly to Lin Qingyue to continue to persuade her, but asked her to go back to the house first. "Qingyue, I know you are also emotional now, and you are quite excited. Go back and rest for a while, think about it carefully, and I will talk to you later."
Lin Qingyue, however, did not seem too excited. She was able to persuade him with both emotion and reason, and she was equally sincere, "Dad, I did not act on impulse. Although I was emotionally impulsive, the underlying reason for me doing this is that I recognize Amu, and he will not let you down."
"I know you are worried about my future, but this matter is not without other solutions. If you think my previous method doesn't work, let's discuss another solution that everyone can accept."
Lin Xueming was a little angry, "You knew this and still did this? You've already disappointed me! Why did you make such a fuss just for an outsider?"
Seeing that Lin Qingyue wanted to say something, he simply interrupted, "Okay, don't say anything now. It won't make sense to talk to you at this time. Go back and have a rest."
Looking at Lin Qingyue's back as she left, Duran was worried. "What should we do about this? We all know Qingyue's personality. She has made up her mind since she was a child. If you don't convince her thoroughly, it will be difficult for her to change her mind."
Besides, Lin Qingyue is not a child after all. If a child falls in love prematurely, they can be ruthless and prevent the two sides from meeting, so they will naturally break up soon.
But their daughter is so old now, they can’t control her actions.
Lin Xueming was also annoyed, "It makes more sense than me, it's really possessed."
Aunt Lin Qingyue also nodded, "That Wu Mu can also be said that if he wasn't a celebrity and there were things like this at home, he and Qingyue would be a good match."
Lin Xueming looked at her.
"There are so many things to do now, and there will be more in the future."
His face was firm, "I absolutely don't agree with what they are doing."
He hesitated for a moment, then took out his cell phone and said, "I'll contact Lao Gong."
Duran and the others beside him looked stunned, "Not really."
"Let's talk first."
Near noon, Wu Mu was talking to Lin Qingyue on the phone, his voice was gentle, "Are you okay? Did your uncle give you any trouble?"
The person on the other end of the phone sounded like nothing was wrong and was able to smile, "Nothing is wrong for now."
She could also ask Wu Mu in return, "Are you unhappy with my dad's behavior?"
Wu Mu sighed in amusement, "You don't have more pressure, so what do I have?"
He snorted, "Just think of it as Lao Deng being reluctant to part with his daughter."
Lin Qingyue chuckled.
After laughing, the phone became quiet and only the breathing sound on the other end could be heard.
Wu Mu was not in a hurry either, he just waited quietly.
After a pause of a few seconds, Lin Qingyue said in a comforting voice, "Don't worry too much. I understand my dad and the others. As long as I don't give in, this matter will be over sooner or later."
"Ah."
After talking about what happened in the morning, Lin Qingyue originally wanted to change the topic and talk about something lighter.
But before she could say anything, there was a knock on her door?
"It should be my dad. I'll call you later."
After hanging up the phone, it turned out to be Lin Xueming and Du Lan.
Lin Xueming's expression calmed down now. Although he had heard his daughter talking to Wu Mu on the phone outside, he just pretended not to know. "Don't you want to talk? Then sit down and talk about this."
Lin Qingyue invited her father into the room.
Her father sat down on a stool in the room, while her mother sat directly next to her, holding her hand lovingly.
Lin Xueming spoke in a gentle voice and got straight to the point. "Your mother, your uncle, aunt and others, and I will never agree with your relationship with Wu Mu. If it weren't for his family issues, we can respect your decision, but with his family issues, we can't watch you jump into the fire pit."
"But I also know that it's useless to just talk to you verbally. You won't listen and always think there are other ways. If you insist on being with him, I will stop your movie and it won't be released."
Lin Qingyue was slightly stunned and looked at her father with a frown.
Lin Xueming did not evade the question and said directly, "Take a three-year break. Don't make any movies during these three years. Don't even think about him investing in you. He won't let you pass the review. Compared to what you'll get involved with later, I'd rather you take a three-year break. Of course, if you still want to stick with him after three years, I can't control you."
Lin Qingyue frowned. For a director, taking a three-year break during her growth period would have a huge impact, especially for someone like her who really loved making movies.
Her father wanted to use the resistance of reality to make her surrender.
And there is more to it than that.
"And Wu Muna, I've already contacted your uncle Gong. He's also been banned for three years. He can't be active on public platforms, and his movies and TV shows can't pass review." Lin Qingyue, who had just frowned, suddenly changed her expression. She shook her head without hesitation, "That's impossible. If a star takes three years off from the screen, no one will recognize him when he comes out."
Lin Xueming had a blank expression on his face. "You two have a good relationship, but you don't even care about his family's affairs. Are you willing to spend three years in exchange for his family not to interfere?"
Lin Qingyue was very determined, "Dad, you're not trying to give me a chance, you just want to separate us."
"I mean what I say. After three years, no matter what you do, I will never care about it again." Lin Xueming said.
Lin Qingyue didn't answer, but took out her phone and said, "I'll contact Uncle Gong."
Lin Xueming had a hint of sarcasm on his face. "What's the point of contacting them? It's not your turn to be in charge. Didn't you think we could face anything together? Why don't you dare to do that now after only three years of rest?"
Du Lan lovingly grasped his daughter's hand and sighed, "Qingyue, if we are really together in the future, the difficulties we will face may be much more difficult than these three years. I know you don't like to develop in the officialdom, but like now, there is no one above to protect you. You may not even pass the trial at any time because of someone else's words."
Lin Qingyue took a deep breath and said, "I can rest for three years, but he can't rest for three years. That would completely ruin him, and I can't decide this kind of thing for him."
Lin Xueming stared at her. "So what do you want? Didn't you say you wanted to talk? I'm talking to you now. Do you really want your family to obey you in everything and watch you gamble with your future?"
Lin Qingyue also had an idea, "I can promise not to marry Amu first, it won't affect your arrangements."
"Don't you just want to delay it?"
"It's not about dragging it out. The current situation and the situation in a few years will not remain the same."
"What can change? Can the fact that he's a celebrity change? Can the fact that his father is a murderer change?"
"He is developing very quickly and will be recognized by more people sooner or later."
"Do you really believe that he can continue to be so popular? With his personality, if he fails once, he won't be able to recover at all!"
"Marriage is only based on benefits?"
"Did I say he only cares about benefits? What's so good about him being dumped by a married woman?"
"That's better than you getting married and still looking for women outside."
"Snapped!"
The atmosphere in the room fell into dead silence in an instant with the sound of a loud slap.
Lin Xueming looked at the hand he had swung over, a hint of regret flashed across his eyes, but his face also turned ashen.
After two seconds of dead silence, he pointed at Lin Qingyue and said, "You are worthy of being the daughter of your Du family. Do you still think that I am sorry for your mother? Ask, ask clearly now, who is sorry for whom."
Duran was already crying, holding Lin Qingyue in his arms, protecting her, "Qingyue, don't blame your dad, I was the one who brought this up first. I wanted a divorce, but your dad didn't want you to end up in a single-parent family."
Lin Xueming sneered, "Look, this is an actor, this is the star you like, how much better do you think that person is?"
Lin Qingyue's face was flushed, her expression was stubborn, and there was a mist in her eyes.
But after looking at her mother and then at Lin Xueming, she tried to take a deep breath and whispered, "Dad, I'm sorry."
Lin Xueming looked at her lovingly, "Qingyue, Dad won't harm you. You will know in the future that these things are false. The most important thing is to have your own abilities. Don't let yourself regret for the rest of your life because of a momentary impulse."
Lin Xueming wanted to continue speaking, but he heard footsteps outside.
Lin Qingyue's grandfather Du Xingguo slowly walked out the door.
He looked at the situation in the room and sighed slightly, "It has become like this. Qingyue, break up with him. He is a very good young man, but his status is not suitable for you and we are not destined to be together."
Wu Mu received a call from Du Xingguo near the evening.
When he heard the person on the other end call out his name, he was stunned for a moment.
Du Xingguo said in a kind tone, "I've always heard Qingyue say how outstanding you are, but this is the first time I've talked to you. Wumu, do you have time to chat?"
"Yes, Grandpa, please tell me if you have anything to say." Wu Mu was very polite.
"Break up with Qingyue." Du Xingguo said kindly, "I know you have a good relationship. I actually like you too. Young people are passionate, but we are not destined to be together. Our family cannot accept a grandson-in-law whose relatives have criminal records."
Wu Mu's heart sank. "Is this what you meant, or what Qing Yue meant?"
"That's what I mean." Du Xingguo did not hide it from him and sighed, "Qingyue really likes you. She has never been in a relationship before, so no matter how rational you are, you can't let her go."
Wu Mu said calmly, "I'll listen to Qing Yue."
Du Xingguo didn't care, he just said slowly, "Wu Mu, I always think you are more mature and sober than Qingyue. You should understand that people are not just about feelings. To be with you, that girl needs to give too much."
"And these prices that are destined to be paid may not even bring a certain result. No one can guarantee that you will not have conflicts in the future and can stay together forever. It's too hard."
"In fact, unlike his father who hopes that the girl can control her own life, I actually hope that the girl can live a more relaxed and happy life, shoot the movies she likes, be busy with a job that is not too tiring, find an ordinary partner, chat about the little things in life every day, and don't have to face all kinds of twists and turns and storms all the time."
Wu Mu listened to the old man's chatter in silence.
After a while, "I listen to Qingyue."
Du Xingguo on the other end of the phone was also silent. He sighed, "Wu Mu, the girl's father will not watch you two being together like this. If you continue to be together, he will directly ban you, block your accounts on various platforms, censor your various works, and prevent your programs, TV shows, and movies from being broadcast. He will directly ban you."
Wu Mu was stunned, and his polite face showed a hint of sarcasm. "As expected of a high-ranking family, you must have power. Then give it a try. If you can't develop in China, I will develop abroad. As long as you can bear me promoting your rights to you outside, it's fine."
"What about Qingyue, who is caught in the middle?" Du Xingguo asked, "On one side is the boy she likes, and on the other side are her father and family. What do you want her to do?"
Wu Mu fell silent again.
Du Xingguo said in a gentle voice, "I'm telling you this not to threaten you, but to tell you what might happen next. Maybe you're not afraid, but if it gets to that point, the one who will be hurt the most is actually Qingyue. With that going on, can you still maintain your relationship with that girl?"
"Not only you, but also the girl. She won't be able to make a movie in a few years. They are all gambling. The girl is gambling that her father will agree because of her, and his father is gambling that these prices will make them surrender."
"If neither side gives in, the situation will end up being a no-win situation. The one who will be hurt the most is Qingyue. Her family, career, love, and everything that made her happy before. Even if you can help her, she will have to rely on you to survive in the future."
Du Xingguo's voice was sincere, "Just think of it as an old man asking you. It's not that you are not good, it's just that it's really not suitable."
