Chapter 34: The Choice of Life
Gu Nanxi signaled and sat in another position, Xia Ziyao walked over stubbornly, "Gu Nanxi, he...... I didn't think it was appropriate for him to come over, so I ...... Don't take it too seriously, the gossip stops at the wise......"
"It's true. Shen Yeqing suddenly interrupted Xia Ziyao's words, her weak and nice voice in the past, maybe a little hoarse because of exhaustion, "What is said on the Internet is true, someone sent the photos taken to the school leaders, the school ...... I've already talked to me, meaning to let me quit school on my own. ”
"Ah!" Xia Ziyao was stunned for a moment, she had already asked to quit so quickly, "Have you ever begged the school to intercede, this is a private matter after all, even if the impact is not good, it will not get to the point of dropping out, not to mention that your junior year is about to end." ”
"Z University has been promoting a century-old school, and this matter has spread very quickly, and there are already big Vs on the Internet, so for the sake of the school's reputation, I can only sacrifice an insignificant me. Shen Yeqing smiled sarcastically, "No matter what, it's true, and I can't argue." ”
Xia Ziyao lowered her eyes, grabbed the ornaments on the table, and said a little tangled, "You...... Why do such a thing?"
"Xia Ziyao said last time I envied you, it was true, but it wasn't because of Gu Nanxi. Shen Yeqing suddenly said solemnly, "My family's conditions are not good, my parents are just ordinary workers, and their annual salary should not be as much as your family's money in a day." All their hopes are pinned on me, I have been good-looking since I was a child, so they desperately let me learn all kinds of talents, they haven't saved a penny for so many years, and all the money has been handed over to me interest classes. Fortunately, I was still competitive, and I was admitted to the Z University, you should know that when we go out of the art department to major in acting, we will either be a teacher or an actor. The profession of a teacher is good, but the money is too slow, I want to let my parents live a good life as soon as possible, I worked the set in my freshman and sophomore years, and worked hard to fight for every opportunity, but it was useless, either playing a corpse, or playing some tricks that were swept by the camera, and sometimes even filming and not broadcasting ......"
Shen Yeqing's tears flowed down uncontrollably, Xia Ziyao pursed her lips, took a napkin and handed it to her.
"Actually, those directors and producers have signaled to me that I will develop better with my ability and appearance, but I also know what they mean, but I don't want to. Later, I wanted to find a boy with better conditions, so that I could take care of the family no matter what I got married in the future, I was really excited when Gu Nanxi appeared, you should also understand that when you see such a handsome boy appear in front of you, you should not be able to control your heart. But I hesitated if his conditions were a little better...... It's just a little bit better, I can't finish my studies, I want to get married and don't even have a house, I can't drag down my family anymore. At an audition, I met the rich businessman, he said that he was investing in a movie recently, and he thought I was very suitable for one of the supporting actresses, and asked me if I would like to meet the director, I was afraid of being cheated at the time, but I did see that he was very familiar with a very famous director greeting, and there were many people who went with him at that time, so I agreed, and the result was ...... When I was awake, I threw up in the bathroom for a long time, I felt very nauseous, he was forty years old, but ...... I knew I couldn't do anything, and then I did get a spot for that role, and filming was going to start soon. He said let me be his lover, and he would push me to the status of a first-line star step by step, and I agreed, because I understood that you have no background in this world, and no matter how hard you try, there will be no way out. ”
Shen Yeqing tried her best to calm herself down and not let her emotions get too excited, "I envy your family background, and I also envy your good luck, I can meet Gu Nanxi, and I met Pei Yufeng, rich and handsome." In fact, I have moved Pei Yufeng's mind before, but I know from his attitude that he doesn't look down on me at all, because he can see what I'm for. Actually, my family conditions are better, and I can become simpler, but I can't...... In any case, since I have chosen this path, there is no chance to retreat, and this is also my last chance to fight. ”
Xia Ziyao finally couldn't bear to tell her that Gu Nanxi's conditions might be better than that of the so-called rich businessman, and she was afraid that this news would be like the last straw that broke the camel's back and made her collapse.
Shen Yeqing still had to go to the set, and after drinking coffee, she was about to leave, and when she passed by Gu Nanxi, she and Gu Nanxi said a few more words before leaving. Xia Ziyao took the bag and leaned over, "What did Shen Yeqing tell you just now?"
Gu Nanxi shook his head and smiled slightly, "She only said sorry." Gu Nanxi lowered her eyes, a little helpless, Shen Yeqing stood at the table just now and smiled clean and clear for the first time, she said: I'm sorry, although I know that you never really liked me, but I still thank you very much for giving me such a beautiful dream, even if it is just empty joy. There are many people who can see it in his mind, but ...... She couldn't read it.
Xia Ziyao sighed, a little emotional, "Hey, I may not hate her so much now, after all, there is a reason for being greedy for money." ”
Gu Nanxi shook her head and denied Xia Ziyao's words, "Poverty is not a reason to sell yourself, maybe there are really too many unfairness in this society, but I firmly believe that there are still people who appreciate talents, or many people who can meet that Bole, but she gave up on herself, since she wanted to find a boy with good conditions for the purpose of money to fall in love and marry, she has already taken the wrong path." ”
"Perhaps, but ...... Our origins are destined to never be able to understand how difficult and painful it is for people in the stage of food and clothing, so we can't blame them from our point of view. Xia Ziyao shrugged her shoulders and expressed her opinion, if it weren't for Xia's father who made a fortune by making seafood back then, her family would just be a working family, and it would definitely be more difficult to mix with her ability and appearance. But think about it...... I wouldn't have embarked on this path anyway, after all, I don't have such a strong self-motivation, as long as I can support myself, I won't ask for too much.
The taste of foolish food is also good, Xia Ziyao and Gu Nanxi simply ordered food directly at his house and had lunch, during which Gu Nanxi mentioned that his father gave him an invitation to a dinner party, and he needed a female companion to let Xia Ziyao accompany her. Xia Ziyao wanted to have something to eat, so she nodded without hesitation.
When Xia Ziyao received a call from Pei Yufeng, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something, and answered the phone tremblingly, and heard Pei Yufeng directly order, "Wait for me downstairs in Pei's house, and I'll take you to choose a dress and style first." ”
"Forehead......" Xia Ziyao struggled for a long time before she spoke cautiously, "Teacher Pei, I may not be able to go." ”
Pei Yufeng frowned, "Reason." ”
"Uh...... I was sick, I had a terrible headache, it hurt so much, I couldn't get up. Xia Ziyao made up a not very decent reason, and I don't know if I can pass Pei Yufeng's level.
Pei Yufeng was silent for a few seconds, "I know, hang up first." ”
Xia Ziyao always felt that she had a big deal when she held her mobile phone, and when Gu Nanxi came back from settling the account, she saw Xia Ziyao holding her mobile phone with a dull face, and stepped forward and waved her hand in front of Xia Ziyao, "What are you doing in a daze, accompany you to choose a dress!"
"......" Xia Ziyao suddenly felt that something was not right, Gu Nanxi ...... It won't be the same banquet as Pei Yufeng!
Xia Ziyao also didn't understand why the same dress couldn't be worn twice, who made this perverted rule, and what was disrespectful to people, she really couldn't understand. I picked out a bright yellow bandeau dress all afternoon, painted light makeup and hair, grabbed a clutch that couldn't fit anything but my mobile phone, and was about to go to the banquet.
Uncle Li had already driven the car and waited downstairs, and the dinner was set up in a luxurious private club in the city center, and after handing over the invitation, Xia Ziyao took Gu Nanxi in. Xia Ziyao had accompanied Gu Nanxi to many dinners before, and she had become familiar with such an occasion from the initial fear.
Gu Nanxi's alcohol consumption is not bad, so Xia Ziyao just stood next to him with a glass of champagne and was a smiling vase, which is usually done like this. There was a sudden commotion at the door, Xia Ziyao looked over and felt that her heart was about to be frightened, she was really a crow's mouth, Pei Yufeng and Gu Nanxi were really at the same banquet!
Pei Yufeng saw Xia Ziyao almost the first time he came in, and raised his eyebrows, it turned out that this was the headache she said! Xia Ziyao felt a chill behind her, and tried her best to pretend not to see Pei Yufeng's appearance. The commotion at the door was so big, almost everyone went over to say hello, Gu Nanxi naturally had no way to ignore this man with his own aura, and glanced at Xia Ziyao, who was in a state of disgrace beside him, "Do you want to go over?"
"It's crazy, it's too late to hide, why do you want to go over!" Xia Ziyao was startled, although she was expected to be attacked by a poisonous tongue afterwards, but if she was in the past and now, she would be attacked by a poisonous tongue!
Xia Ziyao didn't know where this sentence was funny, Gu Nanxi suddenly laughed like a spring breeze, which made her heart itch. Gu Nanxi took the plate from the side, "The greeting is almost ready, I'll help you get what you want to eat, and then go to the back to eat!"
Xia Ziyao's eyes suddenly lit up, she had been hungry for a long time, and she had endured it because of etiquette issues, and she could finally start eating! The private club invited the catering made by top chefs, and the taste was comparable to that of a five-star hotel, but everyone who came had to maintain their demeanor, so few people took it with their hands.
