Chapter 151 The Eldest Son of the Sheng Family
Chapter 151 The Eldest Son of the Sheng Family
It was Nanchun's first time watching a movie.
The Grand Fortune Theater is right next to the Grand Fortune Shopping Mall and the Grand Fortune Western Restaurant, which is the most prosperous area in Yangcheng.
The theater's design is a fusion of Eastern and Western styles. Its brick-red exterior, accented by European-style carvings, creates a sense of both simplicity and modernity. Above the iron gate, meticulously carved with intricate branches and vines, stands a striking sign, inlaid with golden lettering and dotted with colorful light bulbs. The words "Rich Man Theater" are written in powerful, bold handwriting.
"Whose property does this rich man own?" Nanchun asked curiously.
"The eldest son of the Sheng family, the son of the eldest master of the Sheng family."
Nanchun looked at the three majestic buildings in front of him and said, "The Sheng family's business is really big."
“Well, in Yangcheng, the Sheng family plays a very important role.”
The two walked into the theater and were greeted by a spacious and bright lobby with a floor paved with shiny, beautiful marble. Movie posters and photos of movie stars hung on the walls.
"What do you want to see?" Bai Xun asked.
"It's all fine, but I can't understand what foreigners are saying." Nanchun said embarrassedly.
"I heard that some movies in Yangcheng have started adding Chinese subtitles. However, because it takes a lot of time and effort, it hasn't been widely promoted yet. Let's watch this."
Nanchun looked at the poster that Bai Xun was pointing at. On it was a picture of a charming, beautiful and lovely girl with long hair.
"Rose Lover?"
"Well, I heard it's a very popular movie recently, starring the recently famous movie star Li Rou." Bai Xun said.
There was a long line in front of the ticket window, and the ticket seller skillfully tore off the ticket stubs and handed them to the audience.
Nanchun observed carefully and found that most of these people came to watch the movie "Rose Lover".
"It looks really good. So many people are watching it."
After buying their tickets, they made their way through the bustling crowd and into the screening room, where rows of soft leather chairs were neatly arranged.
A screen hung high in front of him, taking up almost the entire wall. The lights in the room gradually dimmed, and the projector at the back started up. A beam of light pierced the darkness, and the image appeared on the screen.
"It's called Tycoon, and it's really different. It's really big and luxurious. Hey, why are there so few people here? Aren't there a lot of people waiting to see outside?" Nan Chun sat in his seat and glanced around. The light was dim, and he could vaguely see only a few people sitting in the hall.
"I bought a ticket for the luxury room specifically so I can sit more comfortably." Bai Xun said softly.
The movie tells the tragic love story between the dancer Rose and the successful rich boy.
When you see two people in a movie meet, get to know each other, and finally understand each other and fall in love.
Nanchun couldn't help but sigh, thinking: They must be separated in the future. The two of them are not a good match, they are not from the same world at all.
Bai Xun noticed his sadness and reached out to hold his hand.
As expected, the story suddenly changed. Chenggong's parents learned of their affair and forced them to separate. Even though they eloped, they couldn't escape Chengjia's control. Rose suffered humiliation and torture, eventually falling seriously ill and passing away.
After Rose's death, Chenggong returned to his home, married a well-matched young lady, had children, and lived with her until the end of her life.
He left a suicide note stating that his favorite person was Rose and he wanted to be buried with Rose after his death.
Nanchun couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Meigui die, but the subsequent plot... he just felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.
After the movie ended, Bo Xun wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief. Seeing that he was angry, he asked, "What's wrong? Is it not good?"
Nanchun frowned and said unhappily, "This damn Master Cheng is a hypocrite, a fake lover! He says he loves Rose the most, but he doesn't have the courage to run away with her. He said he eloped, but in fact he still lives under the watchful eyes of the Cheng family and relies on his mother's private support to survive.
When someone eats someone's food, they're soft-hearted; when someone takes something from someone, they're not. Rose was humiliated, and I think he knew it all, but he didn't dare to say anything! When she died, he returned to the Cheng family and continued to be the eldest son. He married a wealthy woman, and she bore him children. He toiled for her whole life. In the end, he said he loved Rose the most and wanted to be buried with her...
If I were Rose, I would curse his ancestors from the underground! If I were his wife and children, I would throw him into a mass grave to feed the beasts and insects, and would never grant his wish!
"Good! Well said! This is the first time I've heard such a film review." Suddenly, applause came from behind them.
Nanchun and Baixun looked back and saw that the person speaking was a handsome young man wearing a well-tailored black suit.
He raised his hand to applaud, revealing a pristine white shirt cuff adorned with delicate jeweled cufflinks. The color of his tie complemented his suit, its dark pattern simple and elegant.
Next to the young man sat a bright and beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress. Her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, her eyes were bright and beautiful, and her lips were painted with bright lipstick, like a newly opened rose.
Bai Xun held Nanchun's hand and looked at the young man warily.
The eldest son of the Sheng family, Sheng Zexi.
Nanchun looked at the woman, her eyes widened instantly, and she shouted unconsciously: "Rose!"
"Haha, this young master is really interesting!" Li Rou looked at him with a smile and said gently, "Hello, I'm Li Rou, and I'm also... the Rose you mentioned."
"Hello, hello!" Nanchun's face turned red.
He was caught talking behind someone's back.
When he thought about the outrageous words he had just spoken in front of the leading actor, he couldn't help but want to find a hole to crawl into.
"Second Young Master Bai, it's been a long time since we last met. It seems like three years?" The young man stood up and walked towards Bai Xun and Nan Chun.
"Young Master Sheng, long time no see." Bai Xun shook hands with him.
This is the eldest son of the wealthy Sheng family. He looks quite young.
Seeing Nanchun staring at him without any concealment, Sheng Zexi couldn't help but smile and asked, "Who is this?"
"My love, Nanchun." Bai Xun said while hugging Nanchun's waist.
I did hear before that the second young master of the Bai family married a man.
He seemed to like it quite a lot and brought it out openly in public. So it turned out to be this person.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to treat you two to a meal." Sheng Zexi said with a smile.
He himself was a little surprised when he said this.
He is not the kind of person who likes to make friends with others actively, especially when the other party is from the Bai family, whom his Sheng family is now trying to suppress.
"Sorry, we have something to do later! We have an appointment with someone and we don't want to break it." Nanchun said hurriedly.
Sheng Zexi paused slightly. He had never thought that someone would reject his invitation so directly in person.
interesting.
Very interesting.
