Chapter 667: He Chen Extra: Take Film Emperor Qin to See the Qu Family

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the end of the year, He Chen still shuttled among the elderly for interviews.

As soon as she took her camera, her phone rang with a call from Madam Qu.

Although she was really unhappy with Qu Zixiao, her relationship with Madam Qu was genuinely good. When she stayed at the Qu family’s house last time, Madam Qu had often quarreled with Qu Zixiao about her.

Despite being divorced, Madam Qu still treated He Chen as her own daughter.

“Auntie, what’s the matter?” He Chen placed the camera in the back seat of the van and then got into it, raising her hand to signal Li Yushan to drive.

Madam Qu sounded very happy on the other end. “Yes, come over tonight for dinner.”

When He Chen heard this, she thought about her plans to visit Qin Xiuchen’s studio and hesitated for a moment. “Tonight?”

After the divorce, she rarely visited the Qu family’s house.

“You’re not free?” Madam Qu’s voice sounded rather disappointed. “Xiao Chen, are you still angry with me?”

“No, Auntie. Don’t think too much about it, I’ll come right away,” He Chen massaged her temples.

She would have to visit the studio at a later time.

She hung up and told Li Yushan the address.

Li Yushan glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said, “Disregarding Chairman Qu, Madam Qu is really a good mother-in-law.”

He Chen smiled. “Yeah.”

At that time, her sister had originally been the favorite of the Qu family at first, but Madam Qu hadn’t disliked her.

This was the reason why she still kept in contact with Madam Qu even after her divorce.

...

10 minutes later, the car arrived at the Qu family’s house.

“You can go back first.” He Chen took her black backpack, got out of the car, and waved to Li Yushan.

Butler Qu was already waiting for her outside. His face bloomed like a chrysanthemum at the sight of her. “You’re finally here. Madam Qu has been waiting for you.”

He took over her backpack and brought her in.

Madam Qu was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, talking to two others.

Upon seeing her, she stood up immediately and waved. “Xiao Chen, over here.”

The two people sitting across from her also turned to look at He Chen.

There was something wrong with their momentums...

He Chen halted.

“Xiao Chen, come here quickly. This is Aunt Fang, and this is her son, who just returned from abroad.” Madam Qu waved to He Chen and asked her to come over.

Taking off the scarf from around her neck, He Chen placed it casually on the sofa and nodded at Aunt Fang. “Hello.”

Holding a teacup, Aunt Fang sized He Chen up and also smiled. “I heard from Madam Qu that you’re a reporter?”

Butler Qu poured He Chen a cup of tea, which she took a sip from, nodding.

“Are you going to consider other industries in the future?” Aunt Fang continued asking.

Slowly drinking her tea, He Chen said in a calm voice, “No.”

Aunt Fang smiled and suddenly stopped talking to her. She turned to Madam Qu and said, “My son Mingchen just came back from abroad. He’s studying at the Physics Institute, following a master. I heard that the people participating in the research with him are already in their forties or fifties.”

The smile on Madam Qu’s face faded at the mention of this.

She took a piece of tissue and wiped the non-existent stain on her mouth. “Mingchen is indeed outstanding.”

Her voice sounded pretty casual.

Aunt Fang could hear that she was a little upset, and her expression immediately became nervous. “Madam Qu, actually...”

“It’s nothing.” Madam Qu put down the tissue and looked up faintly. “Mingchen is indeed a good boy. He entered the institute at the young age of 30 and is sure to have a boundless future.”

Aunt Fang smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

“I’m going to have dinner now, so I won’t keep you.” Madam Qu looked at Aunt Fang with a smile. “We’ll talk again when there’s a chance.”

Aunt Fang let out a sigh of relief and quickly told her son to stand up. “Madam Qu, Mingchen and I will leave first then.”

Her husband was the Qu family’s subordinate, and if Madam Qu insisted on handing He Chen to her, Madam Fang wasn’t in a good position to reject it either.

But her son was too outstanding, and she really didn’t want a divorced woman who didn’t even want Qu Zixiao.

Now that Madam Qu dismissed the idea herself, Aunt Fang was indeed relieved.

Madam Qu nodded, put down her teacup, and lifted her chin to Butler Qu. “Butler Qu, send Madam Fang out.”

She originally developed the idea of letting Fang Mingchen and He Chen meet because they had studied in the same college abroad.

Now, it seemed like she had been thinking too much.

This Madam Fang obviously had no brains.

Although a little angry, Madam Qu didn’t show it on the surface. She held He Chen’s hand and smiled. “This Fang Mingchen won’t work. He’s too short and not good-looking enough.”

He Chen knew that Madam Qu was just rejecting him before the other party did, but she remained silent.

As they talked, Butler Qu’s voice resounded outside.

Qu Zixiao and Song Qingqing had returned.

“Mom.” Qu Zixiao called Madam Qu when he came in.

Song Qingqing followed him very quietly. “Aunt Qu.”

Madam Qu’s eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of them.

“Why did you two come back today?” Although she was a little dissatisfied with Song Qingqing’s character, for she had hooked up with Qu Zixiao while he was still married, Madam Qu didn’t express her thoughts and deny the person that her son had chosen.

She was also very polite to Song Qingqing.

After all, this was Qu Zixiao’s own choice and his own life.

“Qingqing wanted to come back and see you.” Qu Zixiao asked the butler to take the gifts Song Qingqing had bought.

He looked up and saw He Chen sitting beside Madam Qu.

After more than half a year, Qu Zixiao already thought he had forgotten He Chen, but his whole body turned stiff at the sight of her now.

Holding onto his arms, Song Qingqing felt the changes in him and also looked up in the other direction. She inevitably paused when she saw He Chen sitting on the sofa.

“Aunt Qu, when I just came back with Zixiao, I seemed to see Madam Fang,” Song Qingqing spoke first.

Madam Qu didn’t want to tell them about He Chen’s blind date and felt upset at the sight of Qu Zixiao. She looked away and said nonchalantly, “Yes, she came to talk.”

Madam Fang had come with Fang Mingchen, who was already 30 years old.

Those with discerning eyes could naturally tell what they had been here for.

Song Qingqing lowered her eyes. “No wonder I thought Madam Fang looked quite happy.”

In the past year, after meeting with Qu Zixiao multiple times, Song Qingqing had also gained much knowledge about the Qu family. The Fang family had a subordinate relationship with the Qu family, and Fang Mingchen was nowhere as good as Qu Zixiao in terms of both family background and appearance.

If even Fang Mingchen’s level looked down on He Chen, she wondered who could fancy her.

Thinking of this, her smile grew wider, but she quickly thought that she shouldn’t make it so obvious.

She was an actress, after all, and quickly concealed her joy.

Now that Song Qingqing was beside Qu Zixiao, Madam Qu didn’t mention giving He Chen a blind date in the future, but stood up and asked the butler to serve dinner instead.

They prepared for dinner.

At the dining table, Song Qingqing brought up her senior as if inadvertently. “My brother is also a graduate from Beijing University. He’s 29 this year and hasn’t married yet because he works in the criminal police industry...”

As she was talking, He Chen’s cell phone rang.

She looked down to see that it was Qin Xiuchen.

He had probably directly called to ask if she was heading to the studio yet.

“I’m still eating at Aunt Qu’s. I’ll go over a little later,” He Chen replied.

The hall was relatively quiet, and although they couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, they could all hear that it was a male voice.

“Xiao Chen, that was...” Madam Qu paused and glanced at her.

He Chen hung up, put her hands on the dining table, and smiled at her. “Auntie, I just wanted to tell you that that’s my boyfriend.”

This sentence shocked everyone at the dining table.

Madam Qu was immediately overjoyed. “Your boyfriend? What does he do? Where’s he from? Has he eaten already? Is it convenient to visit him?”

Madam Qu was genuinely worried about He Chen’s marriage.

She had tried to introduce outstanding men to her, from Chairman Zhou to Fang Mingchen.

He Chen had felt it too.

“How could you go visit him? I’ll tell him to come over.” He Chen picked up her chopsticks and calmly picked up a piece of vegetable. Then, she sent a message to Qin Xiuchen.

After the meal.

Song Qingqing was speaking with Madam Qu, and Qu Zixiao didn’t go upstairs to handle his work either.

The doorbell rang outside.

Butler Qu quickly stood up. “I’ll go.”

He walked very fast and was very enthusiastic.

Qu Zixiao and Song Qingqing also looked up.

“I didn’t expect Miss He to find a boyfriend so soon. I wonder who it is?” Sitting beside Qu Zixiao, Song Qingqing glanced at him absent-mindedly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He Chen held a can of beer in her hand and said lightly, “You might know him.”

Song Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed. “Really? We’re in the same circle...”

Before she could finish her sentence, the door opened.

Butler Qu walked in front in a daze.

Behind him, a slender figure followed.

He was wearing a white loose sweater, and perhaps because of the overly casual clothes, his grand appearance seemed diminished.

Without a jacket, his whole figure looked a little thin.

He politely thanked the servant.

Only then did he look at the living room, and when he saw He Chen sitting on the sofa, his originally alienated eyebrows slowly loosened.

The only God-like face in the entertainment industry that had remained popular for nearly a decade.

With sudden realization, Song Qingqing’s face paled as if she had seen a ghost, and her smile also froze instantly.

Even Madam Qu was a little surprised and didn’t react.

Butler Qu wasn’t at all surprised by their reactions.

He had just been in this state just now.

“This is...” Madam Qu stood up as if she had seen a ghost.

She had introduced to He Chen the best lad from the Zhou family.

But even he couldn’t compare to the person in front of her now.

“Madam Qu.” Qin Xiuchen glanced at Qu Zixiao, then withdrew his gaze and politely greeted her.

Madam Qu finally returned to her senses and quickly greeted him.

When the group of people sat down, Madam Qu finally heaved a sigh of relief and began to ask Qin Xiuchen about him and He Chen.

She was very surprised to learn that they had known each other years ago.

Qin Xiuchen glanced at He Chen, his eyes shining brightly. “I didn’t know that it was her back then.”

Qu Zixiao remained silent.

Seeing Qu Zixiao’s reaction, Song Qingqing’s heart sank deeper, and she forced a smile. “Film Emperor Qin, do you intend to marry Miss He? Does your family know?”

Would the Qin family let Qin Xiuchen marry a divorced woman?

“During National Day.” Qin Xiuchen nodded slightly and said softly, “Ran Ran has been urging us for a long time.”

Everyone present knew who Ran Ran was.

“That’s great.” Song Qingqing was really speechless now.

Besides his overwhelming position in the entertainment industry, Qin Xiuchen’s status in Beijing alone was already not simple. On the surface, Qin Hanqiu was the patriarch, but in fact, everyone knew that he listened to Qin Xiuchen’s words, and most things were in the latter’s control.

They also knew who Qin Xiuchen’s niece was, and how the Qin and Cheng families had gotten married.

Even Cheng Juan had to listen to Qin Xiuchen...

Qin Xiuchen was well-known in Beijing and in the entertainment circles. Although countless people had their eyes on him, no one really made a move.

After all, most of them felt that only the Eldest Lady from the Cheng family was worthy of him.

But who knew that he was He Chen’s boyfriend?

The Fang family had clearly looked down on He Chen just now. A divorced woman suffered more than a divorced man.

How could it be Qin Xiuchen?!

How could Qin Xiuchen be in love with her?!

The point was that Qin Xiuchen really intended to marry her...

Song Qingqing was going crazy right now.

She took a step back and turned her head to look at Qu Zixiao, who was obviously not in the right state of mind. He just stared as He Chen left with Qin Xiuchen as if he had lost something.

...

Some time passed.

He Chen went to the Physics Institute to find Qin Ran.

When the two came out, they happened to bump into the person-in-charge.

“Miss Qin, Miss He.” He quickly greeted them.

The entire senior management of the Research Institute knew that He Chen was from 129.

Once they had left, the person-in-charge said to the man beside him, “That was Dean Qin just now, and the one beside her is her good friend, Miss He. You’ll often see her here in the future. Just call her Miss He, and don’t offend her...”

Fang Mingchen just stared at He Chen’s back in astonishment.

However, He Chen didn’t even notice him.
