Chapter 26. Family shock (1)
SA Cinema
"Why did he have to purchase the tickets from such a place? We could have just just watched it in the cinema near our house."
Ren's father grumbled as he glanced around the cinema hall.
There were big screens all around and celebrity faces were displayed on the digital screens.
"You always grumble about everything. Can't you just praise our son once."
Ren's mother said slightly scolding his father.
"I will praise him when he did something to be proud about."
His father said as he scoffed. Watching this, Ren's uncle said mildly.
"Let's not talk about, brother. We should enter soon or we will miss the start."
He was well experienced with the personality of his older brother and knew his attitude towards Ren.
"Yeah, let's go, uncle or we will be late."
A young boy who looked to be in his high school said. He was Ren's younger cousin.
"Yeah, let's go. Ru, stop playing on your phone."
A middle aged woman who was Ren's aunt said as she glared at the young girl standing by her side.
"Mom, I am just checking information about the movie. You always grumbles at me."
The girl who looked no more than 13 years old said as she pouted. She was Ren's youngest cousin sister.
"You are checking about the film. Is there any mention of Ren."
Ren's mother asked her as she looked expectantly at her.
"No, aunt, there's no mention of him. There are many articles but there's no information about him. What kind of role is he playing?"
Ren's cousin said as she tilted her head.
"I think it was a supporting role but I don't know much about it."
"Maybe, he is playing one of the agents. It's a spy thriller, so there must be many actors playing the role of agents."
Ren's cousin brother said in which his father responded.
"We will know after we watched the movie."
His family moved their steps and they finally reached the interior of the hall.
The interior of the hall was more extravagant and there were tons of people there.
All of the ticket counters were bustling with people and there were large displays of actors photos.
Chu Min and Li Xinru faces were plastered on big display stands. There was a main poster in the centre.
"Wow, Chu Min really looked good in that poster. He's so handsome."
Ren's female cousin said as her eyes sparkled.
"Is Chu Min also in this movie?"
Ren's mother asked his cousin as she tilted her head.
"He is the main character, aunty. The main star of the film."
"Really??"
Ren's mother said as she looked at Chu Min's photo on the screen. She wondered if someday Ren's photo would be there or not.
"What is it, aunt? You sound like you know him. There's no way..."
"Yeah, he visited our house before. He's apparently Ren's friend."
Ren's mother said towards Ren's female cousin.
Hearing that, both of Ren's cousin were momentarily stunned. They silently looked towards their aunt before losing their cool.
"Aunt!! Big brother Ren knew someone like him. Why didn't you told me?"
"He's a big actor currently. I didn't knew brother knew someone like him."
"Is he really that big of a star. The last time, I saw him, he didn't looked like a celebrity."
"He had only currently gotten fame. He's a complete new star but he's very hot right now."
Ren's aunt sighed as he glared at her daughter who has lost all of her calmness and said.
"Don't disturb your aunt, ask your brother when you met him."
"We have to find our brother, first. He didn't get lost in the crowd, right."
Ren's cousin said as he glanced around the enormous crowd.
"Let's try to find him as soon as possible."
His uncle said as he started searching for him and he soon saw Ren.
"Oh, Ren, we were waiting for you."
"How are you, uncle?"
Ren calmly greeted his uncle and aunt with a smile on his face.
"Why did you book the tickets in this expensive hall? We could have just watched the movie close to our house."
"It's okay, I was not..."
"Don't spend so much money when you don't have much."
Before Ren could finish his sentence, his father sharp words hit him.
Ren's mother glared at his father for a second before signing to herself. She wished that he would start to appreciate their son soon.
Ren just watched this with a smile. He wondered if his father view about him would change after watching the movie.
"Brother, did you really know Chu Min?"
"Have you met Li Xinru, I am a big fan of her."
Before Ren could say something more, his cousins pounced on him like hungry beast.
"Yeah, I knew him. We are friends."
"Do you also know Li Xinru? Can I get a autograph?"
Ren nodded at his male cousin words and said.
"Yeah, I met her a few times. I would ask her about a autograph."
"Can I also get Chu Min's autograph, no a signed photo."
"Yeah, that would be easy for me. I will ask Brother Chu for it."
"Brother, you are really awesome!!"
Ren smiled at his cousins words. It's been a long time since he had seen them like this.
In the future, they would change drastically but he was glad that they always had a good relationship.
"Hey, Ren!!"
As he was talking to his cousin, someone called him from the back. He turned around and saw White bear coming with various boxes of popcorn.
He was looking like a popcorn stand from afar.
"Why did you buy so much? You will not be able to eat that much."
"Hehe, all the flavors looked good, so I bought all of them and it is also for your family, so it's okay."
White bear said in his usual cheerful smile.
"Ren, who is he?"
His uncle asked as he looked at White bear. His parents had met him but it was the first time that his uncle and aunt had met White bear.
"Oh, he's Ren's manager."
His mother responded for him and his cousins asked curiously hearing that.
"Brother, you have a manager."
"You are really looking like a celebrity, now."
"Well, we can talk after the movie. Let's go, the movie is going to start."
Ren said as he pointed at the people entering the hall.
"Yeah, let's go."
His mother said that and all of their family entered the hall.
They had just normal expressions when they had entered the hall but after the movie ended, their expressions were that of a shock.
They were not able to describe their expressions as they all glanced at Ren.
Especially his father, his expression was worth capturing, he was looking at Ren with an indescribable expression as a warm feeling surged within him.
