A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 317 Dad, I love you, but I choose the cat

His first reaction was: Xiao Meng wouldn’t give birth to the child, right?

Seeing that he was thinking in the wrong direction, Fang Yuan quickly said, "Oh no, don't think too much. It's definitely not Lao Qiao's. She's married. Her husband is much more handsome than Qiao Weidong. She accompanied Xiao Meng for a prenatal checkup. We just chatted for a while when we met."

After explaining clearly, he looked into the outpatient department and said, "I'm a little curious now. Was Xiao Meng really pregnant or was she faking it? Was she just trying to force Lao Qiao to get married quickly?"

"I don't know."

Chen Jinnian shook his head. Although Aunt Xiaomeng did not delete him, she also blocked him from her circle of friends. He had no idea what happened afterwards, and he didn't even know that the other party was still in Beijing.

"I was inspired by seeing how Old Joe is now. He was going to get married then, and his life must have been better than it is now. After he goes to the emergency room, he won't even have anyone to take care of him."

When Fang Yuan mentioned this, Chen Jinnian was also a little worried. Where should he send Qiao Weidong later?

Send him back to his own home. He is alone and doesn’t even have a nanny.

But if she is sent back to Qiao Yingzi's house, it doesn't make sense. Song Qian and Qiao Weidong have been divorced for many years and have no relationship anymore. She didn't remember Qiao Weidong when he was having a good time outside, but now he can't have fun anymore and wants to go home to live. Why? Song Qian doesn't owe Qiao Weidong anything.

"Uncle Fang, you have a lot of ideas. Let me think about where I should send the person later."

Fang Yuan quickly waved his hands, not wanting to get involved in the Qiao family's mess. "It's up to you, as long as you don't send her back to Yingzi's house and make Teacher Song angry. Your Uncle Qiao is rich, so it won't be difficult for him to find a full-time caregiver."

Money talks, especially in first-tier cities with developed tertiary industries. As long as you give a higher price, you can get corresponding services. Therefore, Chen Jinnian agreed with Fang Yuan's suggestion to throw Qiao Weidong back and let him fend for himself.

However, some minor unexpected events occurred at the specific implementation level.

"What, you're not going home?" Chen Jinnian's face was gloomy. He even wanted to push Qiao Weidong off the wheelchair. Why is he making trouble for no reason? Do you think you are Su Daqiang?

"Oh, why should I go home like this? There's no one at home. I'll starve to death tomorrow." Qiao Weidong shouted at the top of his voice.

"Uncle, you have a broken leg, but you're not incapable of taking care of yourself. Order takeout. If that doesn't work, I can make you some instant noodles, like braised beef, scallion-fried spareribs, and original pork bones. I have more than a dozen boxes sent by the brand at home. I can move them all to your house. You won't starve to death for two months."

"I'm injured, can't I eat something good?" Qiao Weidong said aggrievedly.

"Order takeout."

“It’s not healthy.”

"Have a babysitter."

"inconvenient."

"Please hire a nurse."

"..."

The two looked at each other, and the situation was deadlocked for a while.

Chen Jinnian knew where Qiao Weidong wanted to go, and Qiao Weidong knew that Chen Jinnian knew where he wanted to go, but Chen Jinnian pretended to know nothing.

He still lives in Shuxiang Yayuan, upstairs and downstairs from Qiao Yingzi's house. Sometimes he runs into Song Qian, so he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"If you really have nowhere to go, then send my dad to my house first." Although Qiao Yingzi was very angry about Qiao Weidong's behavior today, he was her biological father after all. They had been father and daughter for more than ten years, so she couldn't make a decisive decision like Chen Jinnian.

"Yingzi, Daddy will listen to your arrangements."

Qiao Weidong's expression turned from anger to a smile. He turned his head and looked at his daughter with a smile. At the same time, he reached out and took Qiao Yingzi's arm. "It's still better to have your own daughter. She's not like some people."

These words were clearly directed at Chen Jinnian, and they were not concealed at all.

Of course, he wouldn't stand for this kind of anger, and he immediately reminded Qiao Yingzi, "You just kept a kitten at home without Aunt Song's consent, and now you want to bring your dad home to piss her off. Yingzi, do you think your mom will give your kitten away?"

Chen Jinnian's words immediately froze Qiao Weidong's smile, and Qiao Yingzi really fell into deep thought after hearing it. She planned to make things a fait accompli and persuade her mother to accept the kitten in the evening.

Song Qian would not make things difficult for her because the kitten was cute, but her mood changed when she brought Qiao Weidong back. It changed from a conflict among the people to a conflict between enemies. Moreover, she really didn't want to see her parents quarreling with each other. They quarreled every day when she was a child and broke up the family.

Qiao Yingzi knew that there was still affection between her parents, but affection did not mean there were no conflicts.

"Dad, I think you should listen to Jinnian. Let him take you home first. I'll find a babysitter for you tomorrow, okay?"

"You..." Qiao Weidong was so angry that he couldn't speak. His eyes moved between the two of them several times. Finally, he rubbed his face as if resigned to his fate and squeezed out a few tears like an emperor. "Okay, I understand, I understand. Only now do I realize that I'm not even as good a father as a cat. Yingzi, Dad is sad. Let Dad go back and fend for himself."

"Dad, I didn't ignore you."

Qiao Yingzi hurriedly explained, "Dad, it's okay for you to leave me, but the kitten can't survive without me. When it grows up a little, I will bring it to see you every day."

"Will Dad ever see that day?"

Qiao Weidong covered Qiao Yingzi's hands with both hands. He had been making promises to others for half his life, but he never expected that one day he would be made the same by his daughter.

Chen Jinnian, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted the conversation. "Okay, it's just a broken bone. Why are you treating it like a life-or-death separation? We haven't even seen that day yet. Don't we use video calls every day? Uncle Qiao, please stand up quickly. I have to go back to the emergency department to return the wheelchair."

After coming out of the hospital, he first sent Qiao Yingzi to Shuxiang Yayuan, and then picked up the waiting Wang Yidi and walked west.

Qiao Weidong lived in the same residential complex as his parents. After sending them there, they went home to stay for two days. They had not been home since the National Day holiday, and Su Ying had complained about them a lot for this.

As for the matter between Qiao Yingzi and Fang Yifan, it is still a mystery for the time being. One can only say that Fang Yifan came to his senses that day, and only then did the two of them have the possibility of developing a relationship.

However, Chen Jinnian couldn't predict what the future would be like. He asked Qiao Yingzi privately, and she was planning to study all the way to a doctorate and be admitted to CNSA, so there was still a long way to go in the future.

He soon became busy with the crew's work. There were only less than three months left in 2016, but he had two projects that had not yet started.

Every time he thought of these troublesome things, he couldn't help but greet Wu Jing. If the other party hadn't extended the shooting period by one month during the summer vacation, he would have finished filming the web drama long ago.

Chen Jinnian is very busy, and so are his friends. The first semester of freshman year and the first semester of senior year are the two most demanding periods of university life. The former is when you first start school, and the latter is when you're looking for jobs. All the school-level activities fall squarely on the shoulders of the freshmen: classes, evening study sessions, clubs, student unions, sports meets, computer level 2 exams, Mandarin exams, campus singing competitions...

Even if you don't want to participate, you have to go and be a spectator. As for why sophomores, juniors and seniors don't go, that's a joke. They can't be ordered to do anything.

Time passed quickly after National Day, but Chen Jinnian didn't return to school for a single day, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.
