When the forty-three-year-old Zhu Yuchen came to the journey of his life, he sat alone in the spacious living room, holding a wine glass in his hand, swaying gently.
The moonlight outside the window shone brightly, but this dazzling light could not penetrate the darkness in his heart and light the melancholy flame burning in his heart.
Zhu Yuchen raised his head without hesitation and drank the liquor in the cup, the spicy taste spread in his mouth, but it could not dispel the worries and confusion in his heart.
Zhu Yuchen was born in an ordinary Shanghai family, his father was a hard-working salaryman, and his mother completely handled the education of his children.
Since he was a child, his mother began to implement strict discipline and required Zhu Yuchen to learn piano.
At that time, he was still an innocent child, who was supposed to play carefree in the sun, but his mother's strictness made his childhood full of fear and unease.
Zhu Yuchen has fought many times because he is disgusted with practicing, but each time he will be severely punished by his mother, and his body is covered with scars. It is unbelievable that the mother would see this as an inevitable consequence of education and take pride in it.
In the face of his mother's dictatorship, Zhu Yuchen had no choice but to conform to reality, use illness and lying to escape from his relatives, and silently hoped that one day he would be able to break free from his mother's mountain-like control.
Zhu Yuchen's childhood life is not destined to be too pleasant. His mother's demands on him seemed to be never-ending, and he had to endure all kinds of harsh discipline at a young age.
His mother insisted that he learn piano, but Zhu Yuchen had no interest in the art.
Whenever he was physically and mentally exhausted and could not bear the process of practice, trying to find a moment of pleasure, his mother would always be furious like a raging storm, and the harsh and merciless punishment would follow.
Zhu Yuchen, who was punched and kicked by his mother, was often covered with bruises, and his originally immature and young face was covered with deep and shallow scars.
Once upon a time, he naively tried to avoid the rules of practice in the name of good and bad luck, but his mother turned a blind eye to it. What's even more sad is that for a period of time, Zhu Yuchen even had the crazy idea of self-harm in order to free himself from his mother's authoritative control!
Just imagine that a young child has such desperate thoughts about life, it is enough to see how strict the mother's discipline is!
It wasn't until high school that Zhu Yuchen found his true passion in the depths of his heart - performing arts. A strong desire for freedom burned in his heart, and he began to yearn for a career in acting, and he worked tirelessly to achieve this, hoping to escape the tight control and shackles of his mother for many years.
Zhu Yuchen showed his unswerving determination with practical actions. He overcame many difficulties and obstacles, paid countless hard work, and finally achieved remarkable results, and after graduating from high school, he was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, the school of his dreams.
For Zhu Yuchen, this is undoubtedly an important step to open the shackles of his soul. He thought he would finally be able to break free from his mother's control and regain his vitality on a new stage in life.
However, the cruel reality gave him a blow to the head and shattered his beautiful fantasies. The moment he stepped onto the college campus with great anticipation, his mother's every move clearly told him that she had never let up her attention and control over him.
At that moment, Zhu Yuchen's heart seemed to be poured with cold water again. He knows that the road ahead is still long and challenging before he can completely break free from his mother's control.
Jiang Yan has been like a bright star since her debut, she not only has a stunning face and beautiful body curves, but also her excellent cooking skills, which can be called a master.
According to common sense, a woman who is both beautiful and intelligent should be loved and sought after by everyone, but this is not the case with Kang Yeon.
The most commendable thing about Ms. Jiang Yan is the purity and elegance of her fine nature. Even though she is in the bustling and full of fame and fortune temptation, she can still resist the impetuous atmosphere around her, and always insists on the indifference to worldly fame and fortune in her heart.
She is quiet and calm, pious and modest, and always shows a virtuous mother figure no matter what the occasion, which is why she has won the deep love of the audience.
Jiang Yan, like a clear spring in this complicated world, has attracted the attention of many suitors, who are eager to be favored by her.
The encounter between Mr. Zhu Yuchen and Ms. Jiang Yan was actually an arrangement of fate. The two starred in a TV series together in the same crew, and after a long time of getting along day and night, Mr. Zhu Yuchen was quickly attracted by the many beautiful qualities of Ms. Jiang Yan, and the emotions between the two gradually warmed up, and finally fell in love.
As a person who dares to face reality, Mr. Zhu Yuchen did not hide this feeling, but bravely expressed his deep friendship for Ms. Jiang Yan in front of the public.
Whenever someone mentions this relationship, he always smiles with happiness, and the joy is beyond words.
However, as a person who is skeptical of everything, how can Zhu's mother easily accept her son's relationship? She became dissatisfied with Ms. Jiang Yan, and from the first time she met this future daughter-in-law, she was prejudiced against her, believing that she was not suitable to be her son's partner and could not take on the responsibility of taking care of Mr. Zhu Yuchen.
As a typical mother, Zhu's mother naturally hopes that her son can marry a virtuous, generous, gentle and considerate wife, rather than just a "blind follower" by the playboy's side.
Based on this idea, Zhu's mother was often dissatisfied with Ms. Jiang Yan, and even showed hostility when they first met.
Mr. Zhu Yuchen had already anticipated that his mother might oppose this relationship, so he did not hide it, but frankly revealed to the public the huge pressure and hardships that Ms. Jiang Yan endured in this relationship, which shocked people deeply.
Zhu's mother has always been prejudiced against Ms. Jiang Yan, believing that this woman from the entertainment industry cannot properly take care of her only son.
Once her son chooses her, Zhu's mother will no longer be able to supervise Mr. Zhu Yuchen's life in an all-round way as before.
With this deep dissatisfaction and suspicion, Zhu's mother privately launched all kinds of difficulties and challenges to Jiang Yan. At first, she only showed a hint of displeasure and detachment from Jiang Yan in public, but it didn't take long for her attitude to become more and more tough and even extreme, throwing many unfounded demands at Jiang Yan.
For example, every time Jiang Yan stepped into the door of the Zhu family, she had to sit on the main seat in the living room for a short rest.
For an outsider, this is undoubtedly an extremely serious insult, and it is also a blatant challenge to Zhu's mother's status and power. However, Jiang Yan never lost her dignity for it, she stuck to her principles and was resolutely unwilling to give in to Zhu's mother.
Even after suffering such unbearable humiliation, Jiang Yan still never lost her temper and always remained calm and reasonable.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu's mother made an even more absurd request - she actually asked Jiang Yan that if she married into the Zhu family one day, she must stay at home wholeheartedly to take care of Zhu Yuchen and completely give up the acting career she loves.
For a successful and independent woman, this is undoubtedly a great denial and suppression of the value of her life. However, Jiang Yan was not angry because of this, she still adhered to her moral bottom line and resolutely refused to bow to Mother Zhu.
In the end, Jiang Yan decided to leave this family full of oppression and interference, and get rid of the heavy pressure brought to her by Zhu's mother. Since then, rumors about Zhu Yuchen's emotional life have completely disappeared and have never attracted public attention.
