Beijing, Mesa Shopping Mall.
This large shopping mall, located in the bustling area of Beijing's Second Ring Road, had just opened for business before the arrival of the New Year. It had seven floors, more than 30000 square meters of operating area, and gathered a large number of international and domestic famous brands. Naturally, it had become the new benchmark in Beijing's business circle.
As the Spring Festival approached, countless people who worked or studied in Beijing had left the metropolis. The originally bustling streets had become much emptier. The usual traffic jams from the Second Ring Road to the Fifth Ring Road had quietly disappeared. Even the capital's sky had become a lot bluer.
But not all places became deserted. The newly opened Mesa Shopping Mall ushered in the peak before the Spring Festival. A large number of customers poured into it, buying the new era of New Year goods with extravagant spending — clothes, leather bags, perfume, cosmetics, gold and silver jewelry, imported food …
As if it didn't cost money.
Even Fang Yun, who came here for the first time, was infected by the almost fanatical shopping atmosphere in the mall. She couldn't help but be extravagant, buying two sets of expensive designer clothes and a handbag.
A few years ago, she was not willing to spend money on new clothes at all, because the New Year was the most difficult time. She owed so many debts, and the word "New Year" was attached to too heavy a meaning.
Since Lu Chen became famous, everything should have changed. The Lu family, who had lost their pillar of support, not only returned to their old life, but also became better than before.
The platinum card in the Gucci handbag that Fang Yun had just bought contained 5 million yuan that Lu Chen had deposited.
However, her son's filial piety was not the reason why she was happy. What she was really happy about was that at this moment, there were two daughters and a future daughter-in-law accompanying her!
Two days ago, Fang Yun came to Beijing with Lu Xue, who had just started her winter vacation. Because this year's Spring Festival, Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er both had to participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, they would not be able to go home for the New Year, so Fang Yun came by herself.
In addition to the reason for the family reunion, there was also the reason that the New Year in their hometown in Binhai could not be quiet. Lu Chen's reputation was getting bigger and bigger, and there were always a lot of messy people who came to visit during the New Year.
Some of them wanted to claim connections with relatives, some wanted to borrow money, some wanted to become singers and actresses, and some wanted to introduce jobs for their children …
Back when the Lus were at their peak, Fang Yun didn't even know that she had so many relatives and old friends. It really annoyed her so much that she came to the capital to hide in peace.
Fang Yun and Lu Xue arrived in the capital. Lu Xi took time out of her busy schedule to accompany her mother. Of course, Chen Fei 'er didn't want to lose face. She turned down several events and specially brought her future mother-in-law to the mall for shopping.
"Auntie, are you tired?"
Chen Fei 'er held Fang Yun's arm and said with concern, "Let's go to the tea room on the fifth floor to rest."
Fang Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement."
She couldn't be more satisfied with this future daughter-in-law. The only thing she cared about now was when she and Lu Chen would get married and have children. At that time, she could retire with a peace of mind and take care of her grandchildren.
Chen Fei 'er said with a smile, "Then let's go up …"
As she spoke, she suddenly felt something strange. She couldn't help but turn her head to look to the right.
In the crowd not far away, a man in a black jacket was holding a SLR camera and taking pictures of her.
Seeing Chen Fei 'er's gaze, the man desperately pressed the shutter and took more than a dozen photos in a row. Then he quickly turned around and disappeared.
Chen Fei 'er shook her head helplessly.
These paparazzi were really everywhere. Today, because she was going to accompany Fang Yun to go shopping, she didn't disguise herself. As a result, she was followed and photographed.
Fang Yun didn't understand. Seeing that Chen Fei 'er's expression was a little strange, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Fei 'er immediately smiled and said, "Nothing. Let's go."
She wouldn't let such a small thing disturb the mood of herself and her future mother-in-law.
Two hours later, Waves Blog's well-known self-media blogger, Entertainment Gossip, released more than a dozen secretly taken photos with the title "Chen Fei 'er Appears at Mesa Plaza to Accompany Future Mother-In-Law Shopping".
Among them, the most eye-catching was the photo of Chen Fei 'er holding Fang Yun's arm and smiling. It immediately caused a lot of response on the blog. Many bloggers have reposted it, attracting a large number of comments from fans.
"What a warm picture!"
"Is this Lu Chen's mother? She looks so young! "
"My Chen's mother must have been a great beauty when she was young. My Chen is so handsome. Sure enough, it's in her genes."
"Hey, who's that little beauty next to her?"
"That's my Chen's sister. I've seen Lu Chen's family photos."
"Do you think my Chen and my Fei's wedding is near?"
"Haha, it's very likely!"
As everyone talked, they soon went astray. Many people believed that Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er had entered the stage of talking about marriage. Lu Chen's mother must have come to Beijing to prepare for the wedding.
There were also people who said with certainty that Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er had already gotten a marriage certificate, but it was hidden from everyone.
Therefore, Fang Yun was not a future mother-in-law at all. She was a real mother-in-law!
What was even more outrageous was that someone revealed on the blog that Chen Fei 'er was pregnant and would get married after the New Year. She appeared at Mesa Plaza with her mother-in-law's family to buy baby supplies!
Logically speaking, this kind of completely groundless rumor should not be believed by many people. However, things in the world were just that strange. Many people really believed it and ran to Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er's blogs to congratulate them.
Then, more and more people believed it to be true!
In the afternoon, the keyword "Chen Fei 'er is pregnant" actually appeared on the hot search list on the home page of Waves!
"Ah?"
When Lu Chen answered the phone in the swimming complex and heard the congratulatory call, he was completely confused. He wondered if the other party was playing an April Fool's joke on him.
"Who did you hear it from?"
"Haha!"
Lin Zhijie's hearty laughter came from the phone. "Don't you know? It's going crazy on the Internet. Everyone is saying that you and Fei 'er are getting married because of the baby. Your mother is accompanying her to buy baby supplies at Mesa Plaza! "
Lu Chen's face turned into a big "awkward" character. "I'm going to faint!"
Lin Zhijie laughed and said, "I think it's impossible. The movie you two are starring in is about to start filming. How could you get pregnant at this time, unless … cough cough!"
"But everyone is very concerned about the two of you, haha!"
After ending the call with Lin Zhijie, Lu Chen shook his head speechlessly and quickly called Chen Fei 'er.
Chen Fei 'er already knew about it. Lu Xi was arranging the public relations department to refute the rumor.
Lu Chen was relieved and returned his attention to the swimming complex.
There was a very important test going on here!
