174: It's a mess
Nolan's proposal, she said she just wanted to go over and see, and didn't need to make much of a fuss.
Nolan knew that she was a low-key person, and she made such a request, but Nolan did not refuse, but said that she was welcome to come over at any time, and sent her the specific address of the shooting.
While Zhanfeng was working in the company, Ashley drove to the crew alone.
……
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Ashley arrived at the set, she parked her car in the parking lot, and deliberately wore a pair of sunglasses when she got out of the car.
Ashley found a hidden spot and stopped, just in time to see the filming scene.
When she saw Ning Si's face, her hand subconsciously clenched into a fist.
It's really her......
Although more than ten years have passed, she will never forget that face.
It was her daughter, her and Ning Yuanze's daughter.
Over the years, she has been deliberately blocking domestic news, especially the news in Jiangcheng, which she basically won't read.
She didn't know when Ning Si stepped into the showbiz.
She stood still, watching her from afar, she was playing opposite the male lead;
The sense of drama is very good, looking at her mouth shape, she should be speaking English......
She stood there and stared at it for a long time, until the scene was over, and then she could not retract her gaze.
……
"Ashley, you're here. ”
As she thought about it, Nolan had walked over to her.
He smiled and shook her hand, then asked her, "How about the actor I picked this time?"
Ashley smiled and didn't comment.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Nolan explained with a smile: "She is a very aura actor, I knew her after watching a Chinese movie, and I am very glad that such a talent is not buried." ”
"Sounds like you think highly of her. Ashley barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
"No, I'm just making an objective assessment. "When I first met her, she didn't know English at all, and it's hard to imagine that in a month and a half, she had learned the basic jiāo flow of spoken language and memorized all the lines." ”
"It's rare for me to see such a dedicated actor," Nolan sighed: "Don't you have a saying in China, God can see those who work hard." I am sure that she will be more successful in the future than she is now. ”
Ashley and Nolan have known each other for five or six years, and it's the first time I've seen him think so highly of an actor.
Even the international big-name actors who worked with him before, he never boasted so much.
The only time he praised him, the object turned out to be Ning Si......
She didn't even know how Ning Si stepped into the entertainment industry.
Ashley was thinking about it when Ning Si walked over to her.
She was accompanied by a woman, who seemed to be her assistant, and the two of them were talking and laughing, and the relationship should be very good.
Nolan also saw Ning Si, he turned his head sideways, smiled and said to Ashley, "She's here, I'll introduce you to each other." ”
Chapter 174: This relationship is really messy
Nolan is a man of action, and as soon as he says this, he is about to pull Ashley up.
How could Ashley meet Ning Si. She waved her hand and made a casual excuse to reject Nolan's offer.
"I'm sorry Nolan, I suddenly remembered that I still had something to do, so I'll go first. ”
Ashley dropped the sentence and turned to leave.
Nolan looked at her back, a little dazed.
He and Ashley had known each other for years, and it was the first time he had seen her so rude.
Presumably there was something important that hadn't been resolved, Nolan thought for a while, but didn't pay attention to it.
……
Ashley quickened her pace and walked back to the parking lot, clutching her chest and gasping for breath as she got into the car.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Ning Si's smile appeared in her mind, and that smile was like a nightmare, lingering.
She never thought that she would meet anyone who had anything to do with the past, and after all these years of peaceful life in the United States, those unbearable memories had been left behind by her.
Now, the fruit of that sin reappeared in front of her eyes, pulling out those dirty memories, and everything from the past poured into her mind like a tidal wave.
Her marriage to Ning Yuanze was not originally voluntary to her.
At the beginning, she and Ning Yuanze were just ordinary friends, and the two of them often ate together.
At that time, Ning Yuanze was still a relatively sunny person, and the two of them got along very happily.
She always knew that Ning Yuanze had other thoughts about her, but she thought that he was a person who followed the rules and would not do anything excessive.
But this is not the case.
The night she was raped by Ning Yuanze was the darkest night in her life.
Something like this happened and she almost broke down when she woke up the next day.
Ning Yuanze hugged her and said a lot of good things, saying that he wanted to give her a home and wanted to be with her for the rest of his life.
Naturally, she would not agree, and when she returned home, she told her parents about it, but her parents criticized her fiercely.
In those days, it was extremely humiliating for a girl to be raped by a man, and it was a family ugliness that could not be publicized.
Not only did her parents not stand on her side, but asked her to marry Ning Yuanze as soon as possible.
They made such a decision, she couldn't resist at all, the only thing she could do was to hug her sister and cry.
Less than a month after that incident, she was found to be pregnant, so she was forced to marry Ning Yuanze.
Ning Yuanze was very excited, but she couldn't be happy.
That's when her hell began.
After such an unpleasant thing happened, her original friendship with Ning Yuanze was also exhausted, and she did not respond to his frequent overtures.
During her pregnancy, she had a breakdown every day, and as long as she closed her eyes, she would remember the image of herself being defiled by him.
At that time, there was no medical term for depression during pregnancy, but her condition was basically the same.
When she was nearly six months pregnant, she almost got rid of the child in her belly, but before she could do so, she was discovered by Ning Yuanze.
Later, Ning Yuanze took her to the hospital and took a fetal protection injection for more than a week, and the child was finally retained.
After that, her attitude towards Ning Yuanze became even more estranged, and Ning Yuanze's attitude towards her was not as good as it was at the beginning.
She really has no feelings for Ning Yuanze, and she doesn't believe in long-term love.
During the years of her marriage to him, the only thing she wanted to do was to escape.
Everything about the city was depressing for her.
After the child was born, Ning Yuanze was very excited, hugged her and apologized countless times, and promised her that he would treat her and the child well.
She didn't take these words to heart.
Even if a child is born, there is no way to change the established facts.
She doesn't love Ning Yuanze, and she will never be able to love.
Because she has Ning Yuanze in her heart, she is very conflicted with her feelings for this child.
She doesn't love Ning Yuanze, and she can't love his children.
The child has been drinking nǎi powder since she was born, she has not fed her mother, and her attitude towards the child is also very cold.
After confinement, she found a part-time job in a piano shop and met many like-minded people in it.
Ning Yuanze's domestic violence also began at that time.
In the piano shop, she always inevitably entertained different guests, and once, a man of the same age asked her to chat a few more words, and happened to be seen by Ning Yuanze.
When he returned home that night, Ning Yuanze pushed her to the bed, slapped her incessantly, and scolded her for being a dàng-fù.
She didn't want her child to hear the voice, so she could only cover her mouth and endure it.
Once domestic violence begins, it is an endless cycle.
She has asked her parents' family for help countless times, but her parents will only blame her for not caring about this relationship and having no sense of family responsibility.
Just ask, how can she have a sense of responsibility for a man who has raped her, and the product of that sin?
In the next four years, she has been spent in forbearance.
It wasn't until one time, when Ning Yuanze beat her all over in blood, that she realized that she couldn't endure it like this anymore.
Ning Yuanze's tendency to domestic violence is getting more and more serious, and there is no way to control it.
During those four years, she has been working part-time to earn money. All the wages in the piano store have been deposited into the account, and more than 20,000 yuan has been saved in four years.
Relying on more than 20,000 yuan, she secretly ran away.
She knew that she was acting very selfishly, but she had no other choice, she really couldn't endure that kind of torment anymore.
For that child, her feelings were very complicated.
Because she came at the wrong time, if she didn't exist, she wouldn't have to marry someone like Ning Yuanze;
She had the same blood as Ning Yuanze on her body, and she really couldn't love her.
Although she repeatedly told herself that her child was innocent, it was still useless, she could not be as great and selfless as other mothers.
So she left, left her and Ning Yuanze, and flew away.
She didn't know anything about what happened to their father and daughter, and she never inquired.
Both of them, father and daughter, are the yīn shadows in her life, and she can't wait to have jiāo sets with them again in this life.
Now that she meets Ning Si again, her mood is completely chaotic.
Ning Si was only more than five years old when she left, and she probably didn't remember what she looked like.
Still, she didn't have the courage to meet her. She caressed her chest, and the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became.
To put it bluntly, Ning Si is a stain on her life, and she avoids her.
If you can, I can't wait to see you in this life.
……
Just thinking of this, the phone suddenly rang.
Ashley came back to her senses and picked up her phone, with Nolan's name on the screen.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her breath, and picked up the phone.
"Hey, I forgot to tell you something. Nolan got straight to the point and said with a smile: "I've been looking for opportunities to work with you before, I wonder if you'd like to compose music for my movie?"
Ashley is a well-known Chinese musician in the United States, and she is usually invited to sing in many movies, but she really agrees.
With her and Nolan's jiāo relationship, it would be unreasonable to refuse this request.
"No problem, you can send me a copy of the general plot synopsis in my mailbox. Ashley smiled and agreed.
"Well, okay, thank you very much. Nolan didn't forget to thank her, and after thanking her, he asked her again: "I see that you just looked very bad, nothing will happen, right?"
“…… No, there are some things I didn't buy at home. Ashley smiled and changed the subject, "You know, you know. ”
"Okay, then I'll introduce you and Ning Si to each other next time. Nolan seems to have an obsession with introducing the two of them to each other.
Hearing Ning Si's name, Ashley relented again.
She was silent for a few seconds, then casually said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.
Now this relationship ...... It's really messy.
If she remembers correctly, that night, Zhan Luan said that the person she had a crush on was Ning Si.
She is Zhanluan's sister-in-law, and Ning Si is her daughter......
It's a real headache.
Ashley rubbed her eyebrows and drove home.
Today is Friday, looking forward to coming back for a few nights.
Thinking of the prospect, Ashley's face softened slightly.
**
By the time Ashley returned home, Mr. Driver had already picked up Prospect from school.
Zhan Wang is thirteen years old this year, in the second year of junior high school, and his height has grown to 1.77 meters.
As soon as Ashley entered the house, he saw Zhan Nian playing a game on his phone.
This kid is still not worrying at all.
It's okay to look forward to academic performance, but it's a lot of fun, and I play games whenever I have time.
Ashley had taught him many times about it, but it was of no use.
The thirteen-year-old child has reached the rebellious period, and there are some things that parents can't always say, and the more they talk, the easier it is to arouse his rebellious mentality.
"Mom, it's so sad that you didn't wait for me at home. ”
Seeing Ashley return, Zhan Wang put down his phone and walked up to her and hugged her.
Zhan Zhan attended a boarding school and went home once a week.
Every time he came home, he would start with a hug to Ashley.
Ashley has no attitude towards the outlook and the original Ning Si.
Once, Ning Si took her hand and begged her to hug her, but she wouldn't hug it.
Unconsciously, remembering Ning Si again, Ashley raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
"Do you have a headache? I'll rub it for you. "Zhan Wang is also sensible, sweet and coaxing.
Seeing that Ashley was uncomfortable, he immediately pulled her to sit on the couch and began to rub her temples.
Ashley closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed her son's service, but Ning Si's smile came to mind.
……
In the evening, after the family of three finished eating together, Ashley said very little throughout the whole process, and Zhanfeng was keenly aware that something was wrong with her.
After returning to the bedroom, Zhan Feng hugged her in his arms and asked her with concern: "What's wrong?
Zhanfeng cares about her very much, and if there is anything wrong with her on weekdays, he can always see it at the first time.
It was only after he said this that Ashley realized that he was acting too obviously.
She adjusted her state and said to him with a smile: "It's okay, probably I haven't slept well in the past few days." ”
"You've been in poor form lately. Zhan Feng stared at her face, "Is there something hidden from me?"
"Actually...... It's not a big deal. Ashley lowered her head and thought for a while, then said to Zhanfeng, "I met Anwar by chance that afternoon and had a few conversations with her. ”
Anwar is Zhan Luan's wife and Zhan Feng's younger sibling.
Anwar and Zhan Luan's marriage situation, Zhan Feng is very clear.
Hearing her mention this, Zhan Feng also sighed.
"Well, she hasn't had a good time all these years. ”
In addition to the status of the main room, she really didn't get anything from Zhan Luan, and it was quite sad to think about it.
"Yes...... Ashley also sighed, "Anwar is actually quite good, I don't know what Zhan Luan thinks, after so many years, he still refuses to settle down......"
"I see that he has been very tightly wrapped up with that young actress recently, and it seems to be serious. ”
Zhan Feng remembered this incident and said casually.
Ashley knew what he meant by "young actress".
After listening to Zhanfeng's words, Ashley clenched his fists and said to him: "You persuade Zhan Luan, it's good to live with Anwar with peace of mind, don't provoke people in the entertainment industry." ”
Chapter 175: My husband is also very powerful
Ashley rarely expresses her opinion on Zhan Luan's affairs, she has always been a listener in interpersonal relationships, and even if Zhan Feng takes the initiative to talk to her about other people's affairs, she rarely answers.
But today, she took the initiative to care about Zhanluan's affairs.
Zhan Feng looked back at Ashley's expression and asked her with a smile, "Did Anwar tell you something?"
“…… Well, Anwar is not easy. Ashley didn't deny it, and followed his meaning and said: "They are all young, and the children are sensible. ”
