Chapter 602 Our Family Does Not Need a Marriage

Even though Cherie Chung was nominated for the Best Actress at the 2100th Chinese Film Awards for her role in the movie "Mint Coffee" this year, and the movie "The Lucky Stars" in which she played the leading role grossed million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, she is still a small-time actor, a little-known one.

In 1979, Zhong's mother took the initiative to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant. Because she did not know how to wear high heels and made mistakes on the spot, she only won fourth place. However, she was named the "most beautiful Miss Hong Kong" in history, and thus entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

She has two younger sisters and a younger brother. Her parents run a small women's clothing business, and since she can earn money now, the family can get by.

However, in the first half of this year, she promised her younger brother and sister that she would take them to watch the New Year's Eve Gala in person this year.

Who would have known that this year's New Year's Eve party would not only feature popular stars such as Teresa Teng and Teresa Teng, but also the world-famous British band Queen.

Tickets to the Hung Hom Stadium are selling like hot cakes.

The scalper price on the black market can be as high as several thousand.

Even with this price, she can afford it. Her salary for "The Lucky Stars" was as high as 80!
But there is no demand for it even though the price is high.

On the other hand, she has a boyfriend who is a junior at Hong Kong University. If she brings it up to him, he should be able to solve it. But she doesn't want to trouble him because she doesn't know how far the two of them can go. She doesn't want to take advantage of the rich family.

How did you meet?

In the winter of the year before last, she filmed the movie "Patrol City", directed by Yu Rentai, with assistant director Stanley Kwan, and starring Chow Yun-fat and Leung Kar-yan, and the filming was done in South Korea.

It was midwinter and they had to run across a single-plank bridge to shoot the night scene at Gangwoncheon Stream in the countryside of Seoul. It was dark at night and she took a wrong step and fell into the river. If she had fallen into the water she would have been frozen to death, but the river was completely frozen in midwinter and she broke her ankle when she fell on the ice.

However, she gritted her teeth and climbed up and insisted on finishing the shot. Then at dawn the next day, she found that the tibia in her ankle was dislocated and swollen like a pig's trotter. She still insisted, but director Yu Rentai saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly asked assistant director Stanley Kwan to stop working and put her in the car to escort her to Seoul Hospital.

After being admitted to the hospital, her ankle became even more swollen. The assistant director had to return to the location crew to work. The photographer at the time was Li Cuiming, who had just returned from the United States. He happened to have something urgent to return to Hong Kong, so he volunteered to escort her back to Hong Kong for treatment.

As a result, he half held and half carried her throughout the whole process, taking her to the car, through customs, and boarding the plane, until she returned to Hong Kong and was admitted to the hospital. After two days and nights of sharing the hardships, as expected, the two quickly conceived love.

But if nothing unexpected happens, then there will be an accident.

During the hospitalization, the rich young man somehow came to the hospital to visit his grandmother, but he went to the wrong ward and ended up in her ward.

Later on, needless to say, the rich young man would come to visit her almost every day and chat with her about everything.

She knew what the other person meant, so she had to refuse by saying that she already had someone she loved.

As a result, the young master said:
"The one who comes to see you so often?"

She nodded, and the man was the photographer Amin.

The young master frowned and said:
"But I just asked him today, and he said that you are just colleagues in the same crew."

Cherie Chung was stunned for a moment. Just a colleague?

It seems that they are just colleagues...

From that day on, photographer Amin never went to the hospital to visit her again.

But there was nothing between her and Amin in the first place. It was just a bit regrettable that the little spark that was about to be ignited was gone just like that.

She is a little actress. During her hospitalization, her mother and sister took turns to take care of her. With such a proactive and wonderful person to accompany her, her days became much happier.

After they got to know each other, the two chatted about everything under the sun. The rich young man had a wide range of experience and could switch between Cantonese, Mandarin, and English fluently. He could talk about movies, music, and beauty pageants. There was almost nothing he didn't understand.

The rich young man was very well-behaved from beginning to end. He did not touch her or even dare to give her flowers, but he gave her a ladies' gold watch.

Oh my god, she knew he was a rich man, but how could she accept such an expensive gift right away? Besides, they weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend.

In fact, she also had a good impression of the rich young man. He was handsome, had good temperament and conversation, but he was a little too young. Unfortunately, he was only a freshman in college.

If she is a freshman, she is usually around 18 or 19 years old. Although she has a good temperament and is tall and strong, her face is still a little childish. Maybe she is not even 18 years old! If we calculate by age, she is two, three or four years older than others.

She couldn't accept it.

However, seeing that every time the rich young man came, there were two bodyguards standing at the door, she did not dare to refuse too bluntly.

A rich young man is a rich young man. He has a driver and bodyguards whenever he travels. The bodyguards follow him wherever he goes, even when he is dating her. Of course, he won't stand around like a light bulb, but will hide in a corner and appear at any time when needed.

Well, this is the life of a wealthy family.

She had to admit that ever since a Hong Kong beauty queen married into a wealthy family, there were people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who had this idea.

After a few interactions, the two of them started to, I don't know if it can be considered as dating.

The rich young man has always been very well-behaved. In other words, he has been brought up with strict family education.

Not to mention spending the night outside, she was the one who took the initiative to hold hands.

This made her worry that this relationship would most likely end in failure.

But the rich man was very kind to her. When he heard about her parents' occupations, he immediately said that he could introduce a big business to her parents.

Soon her parents received a large order, and she still remembers how happy they were.

Because Kuo Shao had to go to school, the two of them could only meet during holidays. Sometimes when she went out to film, they could only write letters to each other. Kuo Shao had beautiful handwriting.

Later, the two began to use pagers to send numbers to each other and chat, and their feelings grew deeper and deeper.

This year, Chen Long invited him to star in "The Lucky Stars" directed by Sammo Hung, and she joked with the rich young man that Chen Long wanted to pursue her.

Women can see through men at a glance.

As a result, not long after she said this, Chen Long consciously took a detour when he saw her, like a mouse seeing a cat. No matter how slow she was, she knew how powerful the rich man's background was.

The original photographer was Li Cuiming, and the current big star is Chen Long.

But she was not angry. With a boyfriend with such a powerful background, no one would dare to harass her.

Just when Cherie Chung was feeling upset about the boast she had made in front of her younger brothers and sisters, her caring boyfriend called her.

She quickly called back.

"Hey, Ah Hong, did you miss me?"

On the other end of the phone, my boyfriend's voice became more mellow, and I couldn't help but recall that when we first met, his voice was a little hoarse.

Cherie Chung said:

"Think about it. Do you want to go to the horse race or the movies this time?"

"I want to invite you to watch the New Year's Eve Gala at the Hung Hom Stadium. How about it? Can you come?"

"Ah!" Cherie Chung didn't know what it meant to have your wish come true, but the two of them seemed to be in sync. Then she didn't care about anything else and said:

"But I promised my brothers and sisters that I would invite them to watch the show together. But I have been unable to buy tickets. If I go with you, I am afraid they will scold me badly."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, then he said:
"So are your parents going? If they want to go, I can arrange it together."

hiss--

Cherie Chung took a breath of cold air.

These tickets are limited, right?

However, my boyfriend is a rich man with obvious ability, so when I think about it, it seems natural.

"Aren't you afraid of meeting my parents?" Cherie Chung asked carefully.

A dry laugh came from the other end of the phone, "You're not afraid, so how can I, a grown man, be afraid?"

Zhong Chuhong felt a sudden throbbing for no reason and couldn't help saying:
"I dare to take you to see my family, do you dare to take me to see your family?"

As soon as she said it, she regretted it.

What's this?

Is this a palace coup?
The two of them were just at the stage of holding hands and kissing when they thought about meeting their parents. Meeting parents, as we all know, means talking about marriage. Moreover, there is no doubt that my boyfriend's family background is wealthy.

Is it so easy to enter a wealthy family?

Aren’t all wealthy families formed through marriage alliances?

Cherie Chung's heartbeat was pounding faster and faster, and she could already hear the sound of her blood boiling.

There was indeed silence on the other end of the phone for a while, longer than the previous silence.

Cherie Chung said:

"I'm just kidding. It would be nice if you met my family first. You've helped us so much."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to let out a long sigh and said slowly:

"If you really dare, it's not impossible. I'm just worried about scaring you."

Cherie Chung smiled and said:
"What are you trying to scare me about? Would your parents say to me with a stern face: Leave my son, he wants to marry into a wealthy family? Is he just playing around with you?"

Cherie Chung used a joke to ask about the doubts that had been in her heart for a long time. She was a little confused about why they were just dating and not dating. The way those men looked at her, which one of them was not like a wild dog, wanting to eat her alive? Only her boyfriend, it was not an exaggeration to say that he treated her with respect and dignity.

Women are like this. When a man wants something, she doesn't want to give it to you. When you don't seem to have any feelings for her, she wonders if you don't love her enough.

The other side laughed and said:

"Our family doesn't need an arranged marriage. As long as the person is good and I like him, there's no problem."

Cherie Chung felt that the other party's words were a bit harsh, but seeing that her boyfriend was comforting her, she let it go. Anyway, many celebrities dated secretly, and she was no exception. But there was one thing she had to remind him:

"It's fine if we haven't met, but I'm worried that if I meet my parents, they'll ask all sorts of questions. You can still hide the truth when they ask about your family, but you'll be embarrassed if they ask about your age. I might not know what to say..."

My boyfriend looks young and younger than me. After all, he is only a junior in college, so I’m afraid his parents will have objections.

This time the other party spoke straightforwardly:
"As long as Ah Hong always stands by me, I won't be embarrassed."

He was so excited, as if he was a few years older than him and he had someone to rely on.

Well, I'll see if I can stand the test of my parents first. First, there's my own parents, and then there's the other people's parents. I don't know when it will end.

My boyfriend doesn’t dare to do anything to me. I’m afraid he’s waiting for me to graduate from college?
From this perspective, he is indeed a responsible and good man.

Cherie Chung smiled sweetly and said:
"Then I listen to you!"

Wang Xiao listened to his girlfriend's voice on the other end of the phone and smiled.

How dare he bring his girlfriend to meet his parents now?
It was obvious that his father was away this year and would not be coming back to attend the Hong Kong New Year Gala, so he dared to ask Ah Hong to go watch it with him.
