Tan Xinyue's tone was filled with admiration and attachment to Zhong Mingtang, and the marriage that crossed such a large age gap did not bring her much trouble, but because she had a mature and suitable partner, her expression and voice were always full of happiness: "In a month, we will fly to Western Europe together, and by the way, we will go to London to participate in the autumn auction, you have a favorite lot, remember to make a list and send an email." ”

"Exactly, it was my grandfather who had some favorite lot. Joan chuckled, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Haha, that's right. Are Teacher Shen and Teacher Xu in good health?"

Zhong Mingtang was a student of Qiao An's grandfather, Shen Huaqian, and Qiao An's mother called him "senior brother". And Zhong Mingtang was able to marry Tan Xinyue smoothly in the end, Qiao An's grandparents personally went out and did a lot of ideological work for Tan Xinyue's parents.

Therefore, Tan Xinyue has both respect and gratitude for the two old people. For the granddaughter of the second elder, the age difference is not too much, and they have been together in the United States for so long, and the relationship between the two is very close.

"It's pretty good," Qiao An paused, took a deep breath, and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "Aunt Yue, I'...... I've encountered some confusion and would like to ask you for advice. ”

Tan Xinyue on the other end of the phone was a little surprised: "Of course you can! But what is it that stumps you? It sounds tricky." ”

Joan smiled bitterly: "Indeed...... It's tricky. ”

At the same time, in the hotel of the crew.

After filming for a day, Lu Yan was a little tired and lazy on the chair in the suite, fiddling with her mobile phone, unconsciously clicking on the interface to chat with Qiao An, and looking at the few chats - basically all business, or trivial things such as she reminding him to go downstairs for breakfast.

Judging from the content, he is the one who reacts coldly, because he usually only replies with a "good" or "um", but only he understands how much he wants to express in these simple words.

Han Tao looked at Lu Yan looking at the phone again, leaned over like a ghost, and after confirming that the contact on the WeChat chat interface was Qiao An, he said faintly: "Brother Lu, do you really like Mr. Qiao?"

Lu Yan was startled by this voice, and the phone almost fell to the ground. hurriedly blacked out the screen, looked at each other with some embarrassment, and raised his voice unconsciously: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Han Tao was also taken aback by him, but seeing that Lu Yan was really annoyed, he hurriedly smiled and said mysteriously: "Hey, brother, Brother Lu, don't be angry, I, I don't mean anything else...... It's just that I care about you—......."

Lu Yan let out a long breath, his expression returned to his former gentleness, and there was a bit of loss in his eyes, but he resolutely warned Han Tao: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for Qiao An's reputation." ”

"Of course I won't ......mess around" Han Tao agreed without thinking about it, suddenly realized something, his eyes were as big as copper bells, he grabbed Lu Yan's shoulder excitedly, and shook it twice, "Really, really Qiao...... Hmm-"

Lu Yan hurriedly covered Han Tao's loud voice and glared at him warningly.

Many things are easy to hide from the company and the agent, but it is difficult to hide from the assistant. Lu Yan simply didn't hide it - or perhaps, he also needed to confide.

Han Tao came back to his senses, laughed twice, and repeatedly assured himself with sincere eyes that he would not be so startled again, his mouth was free, although he was still surprised, he lowered his voice: "Brother Lu, do you really like Mr. Qiao?"

“…… Well. Lu Yan responded lightly, thinking of Qiao An, there was a gentle smile in his eyes, this kind of feeling can't be faked.

"Then, what about the school girl who you have had a crush on for more than ten years?

"......" Lu Yan was silent and did not speak.

"Brother Lu, you, you and Mr. Qiao have only known each other for such a little time, right?" Han Tao stretched out two fingers and gestured a short distance, with his understanding of Lu Yan, such an affectionate person, in such a short period of time, subverted his secret love that he had insisted on for more than ten years, it was really a bit ...... Unbelievable.

Lu Yan was silent again, and after a long while, he raised his head, looked at Han Tao, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "I didn't give up, it has always been her." ”

Han Tao felt that his brain exploded.

1. Straight, all, yes, she......

What do you mean?

"Small, little, little little girl is, yes, yes......" Han Tao's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.

"Yes, it's Joan. ”

※※※※※※※

Qiao An told Tan Xinyue on the other end of the phone everything about Lu Yan, including their acquaintance in middle school, including her purpose for returning to China and her true intention to sign Lu Yan, as well as her confusion these days.

Tan Xinyue patiently listened to Qiao An finish all the words, thought for a while, and then asked her gently: "So Xiao An, do you think, do you like him?"

"I-I don't know, Aunt Yue, I really don't know......"

Joan felt the feeling of helplessness she had felt for a long time again, and the last time this feeling appeared was when she saw her mother in the snow-white hospital bed, and all the instruments and meters were displayed as a horizontal line.

Even when she received that Lao Qiao died unexpectedly in a car accident and that she was almost robbed by several black people in the United States, she was calm, calmly analyzed, dealt with calmly, and dealt with calmly.

But now, she can't calm down, she can't analyze, she doesn't know how to deal with and deal with it - she really can't do it.

That's why she made this call.

Tan Xinyue's voice was still gentle: "Then Xiao An, if you call me and tell me about this matter, do you want me to tell you something? Do you want me to help you judge whether you like Lu Yan or not? Or ...... What do you do when you're not sure if you like him or not?"

Qiao An seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and immediately replied: "Yes, Aunt Yue, I want to know, I, what should I do?" I know that Uncle Zhong spent half his life finally finding you, finally waiting for you, he, his feelings for you, his crush on you, his love for you, and Lu Yan's ...... to me My current state is somewhat similar to when you faced Uncle Zhong's pursuit of you, so I, so I ......"

"Xiao An," Tan Xinyue suddenly spoke up, gently interrupting Qiao An's incoherent expression, "To be honest, I've never seen you look so helpless. I- heh, I appreciate your trust in me and your willingness to open up to me about this, but, unfortunately, I may not be able to give you the answers you want. ”

"Why?"
