Xiao Lan doesn't have many friends, but she is fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If you have to count it, in China, she will not see more than one slap in the face, and the rest can only be regarded as acquaintances. In addition to Ms. Li Yulan, Xiao Lan's favorability towards Xia Lin ranks second. That's why Xiao Lanken slowed down his trip and stayed to talk to Charlene.
After the film press conference, Xiao Lanben immediately set off for the next destination, but was delayed for a week because of Charlene.
In the past five years, many people have changed a lot, but Xiao Lan has maintained her original appearance, and she has not changed much, as if time has completely stopped her.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the best thing about finding that you have not changed your original intention is this.
The mission world is too real, even if Xiao Lan has always been cautious and cautious about emotional investment, but even if some things are fake, because they are too beautiful, it doesn't matter if those things are true or false.
Experiencing the present, this is Xiao Lan's feeling of wandering overseas alone in the past five years.
In the mission world, she is too lonely.
Knowing that it was a false simulation of the mission world, she also had to be moved.
Her emotions are very light, and they will disperse when the wind blows. It's just that, in order to complete the task, after she withdraws herself, don't be too nostalgic.
After catching up with friends, she set off again for her next destination, Hong Kong.
Setting Hong Kong as a destination for film promotion has Xiao Lan's selfishness.
That's Liang's mother, Liang Yu's mother, she is in Hong Kong.
I came to Hong Kong during the rainy season. It was cloudy and wet, and the press conference was postponed for the time being.
The people who came to Hong Kong with Xiao Lan planned to go to Macau to have a crazy game for a few days, so they were left alone in the hotel in Hong Kong.
In the hotel's one-room suite, Xiao Lan sat on the bed and turned on the computer, dealing with the work affairs left in the United States before. Although she said that part of the reason why she came to Hong Kong was because of Liang's mother, she didn't know how to start with Liang's mother.
Five years ago, Xiao Lan realized that she had neglected the elements of the mission, and thus forgot about Liang's mother. In order to make up for these five years, a sum of money will be transferred from Xiao Lan's account every month to Liang's mother.
The money was given, but she didn't know anything about Liang's mother's recent situation, and Liang's mother, who got the money, would never live in a dilapidated rental house again, and she didn't know Liang's mother's address and contact information.
What she had to do had to be put off all the time, and now she was planning to check Liang's mother's information through her own special means, so as to get a place to live.
But Xiao Lan checked the address and found that Liang's mother had not moved at all, and was still living in that dilapidated rental house. But Liang's mother didn't use the money given by Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan found out that she bought the entire rental house and opened a clothing store nearby.
Although Xiao Lan was puzzled, she still decided to take a look.
It was raining lightly outside, and Xiao Lan held an umbrella and took a taxi back to where she had left at the beginning. A sense of familiarity rolled out of Liang Yu's body, and the feeling of being adrift outside calmed down.
Liang's mother was in the clothing store, because of the weather, there were few customers in the store, and Liang's mother was sitting on the chair watching TV. The exaggerated red nail polish faded with age, and the original leather skirt and red dress were replaced with light colors.
Liang's mother still loves beauty, but in a different way.
Originally, she could have dressed better, this was the idea that rose when Liang's mother saw her daughter standing at the door of the store with a red umbrella.
Liang's mother stiffened, looked at her daughter, and was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses. She didn't step forward, but sat up straight, trying to suppress the emotions that kept tumbling inside.
"Oh, what is Director Liang doing here?"
Liang's mother tightened her voice and said sarcastic words, there was no emotional outpouring of the mother and daughter who met after separation, only when she saw that the enemies were-for-tat.
Xiao Lan saw Liang's mother and didn't answer immediately. She put away the red umbrella, leaned it against the door of the store, walked into the clothing store, and looked around. The clothes in the store are neatly arranged, and there is no dust on the ground, and Liang's mother runs this place very well.
Xiao Lan found a place not far from Liang's mother and sat down, before replying, "Come and see you." ”
"Okay, don't you come to see my mother if you have money! Why don't you live your good life in the United States and come to see jokes?" As soon as the words came out, Liang's mother actually regretted it, but she had no choice but to keep talking.
The words convey a lot, a mother's constant attention to her daughter, expressing dissatisfaction with her daughter's long-term neglect, and deep guilt and apology in her heart. As a mother, she has no ability to fund Xiao Lan to go to the United States.
In the face of Liang's mother's sharp and aggressive, Xiao Lan didn't answer, as if she didn't know, she skipped it directly, and then asked: "Is the money enough?"
As soon as she heard her daughter say that, her mother, who was originally full of thorns, suddenly stopped, and her originally straight body was unable to lean back. It turned out that her daughter still cared a little about herself, and Liang's mother thought so in her heart.
Five years ago was nothing more than a misunderstanding.
After Xiao Lan left, she had one less mouth to eat, and Liang's mother saved a lot of money in terms of money. The days went on like that, and Liang's mother, who was alone, quarreled with her neighbors, and on the way to Xiao Lan, Liang's mother said arrogantly that her daughter was on the list of big money, and now she is rich.
So, the lie spread in the neighborhood.
Five years ago, when director Hou Jiasong sent someone to find out where Xiao Lan lived, he inquired about the neighbors, and the lies that had been brewing fermented, and finally became more and more intense, burying the truth.
Both mother and daughter have the habit of ignoring other people's questions, and the money is enough, Liang's mother is too lazy to say anything, so she keeps her mouth shut and continues to ask: "How long will you be here this time?" The words were rare calm and not aggressive. Liang's mother knew that Xiao Lan would not stay long.
"A week or two. Xiao Lan replied truthfully.
"And go back to the United States?"
"Yes. Xiao Lan nodded, and she would only live in the United States forever.
Liang's mother, who got the exact answer, was inexplicably depressed, turned her head to stop looking at Xiao Lan, and continued: "I will live here in the future, and I will retire here." ”
"Come back if you want,"
Xiao Lan went to the United States to develop, and Liang's mother was supportive, even if she was against her, she didn't know how to oppose it. At the beginning, when she saw Xiao Lan on TV, she knew that her daughter was no longer at her mercy.
Liang's mother wanted Liang Yu to be a star at the beginning, and she also hoped that she could get a job that was not tiring and made money quickly to support herself. The star industry can get a lot of money, and Liang Yu has the advantage of appearance, which is just right.
In Liang's mother's view, face can never compare to the money to make ends meet. Having lived in Hong Kong for so long, she knows that it is not easy to live without money, especially for the mother and daughter.
Liang's mother didn't want her daughter to be like herself in the second half of her life, so she spent money to buy a place for Liang Yu to audition.
No matter how bad this option is, there is no way to do it, because they have no choice.
After Liang's mother finished speaking, Xiao Lan didn't speak, there was a long silence, and the rain outside the store became heavier, and the sound of rain became louder.
"It's getting heavier, do you want to stay for a meal?"
"Good. ”
