CHAPTER 40

Just after New Year's Day, the cold air of the city seems to be filled with a hint of firecrackers, and the red lanterns hanging high on the streets and the piles of firecracker ashes waiting to be cleared on the roadside are full of the afterglow of the festival. Most enterprises and institutions are still in the period of full vacation, even the main road overpass is not many vehicles, and the streets are empty.

Zhou Erting is still the same equipment that he went to the racecourse, but the windbreaker and scarf were forcibly replaced by Lu Pin with a new winter style, and he gritted his teeth when he bought this set of clothes, just such a piece of cloth, worth the price of a TV? He didn't freeze to death when he wore clothes from the thrift market in previous years.

Lu Pin is no longer surprised that he is extremely unparticular about his life, so it is the right way to shut up and grab itβ–‘β–‘ brush it first.

However, although he can tell Zhou Heting's dress, he has not yet cultivated enough to influence his travel. In fact, it is already an old problem that Zhou He does not listen to the command and has no consciousness of being a public figure, so when he not only insisted on going out during the New Year's holiday, but also did not allow himself to follow, Lu Pin swore that he really refused at first. What's more, the high-level of Yuntu has just shown that the rich man does not care about the poor, and the prime minister has the temperament to support the boat in his belly to allow him to continue to live in this apartment, and he will not stop staying at home and going outside! It's all paparazzi outside, and it's dangerous, okay!

However, the process is always one-sided and suppressed without suspense, and the little assistant can only lie in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and watch his artists walk out of the community in a hurry, and then return to the kitchen with a stomach full of grievances to pout & make soup.

Hopefully, he'll come back before his pot of soup is fully cooked and the chicken inside is completely simmered.

However, Zhou Erting himself has no understanding of this at all, since he searched through GuΓ² Yuntu to find Bai Han's specific residence, his heart was completely filled with the idea of "finding this person, asking about this letter and even that thing", and even when Lu Pin watched TV two days ago and excitedly told him how Pei Ji was popular on the red carpet in the UK, and invited him to watch the broadcast together, he had no reaction.

Bai Han is the same age as Zhou Heting's mother, and she is a well-known actress in the entertainment industry at the end of the last century, and later seems to have quit the stage career because she got married and had children to concentrate on staying at home to be a good wife and mother, and later cultivated a hobby of photography. But this is not the focus of Zhou Erting's attention, this woman has been focusing on drama performance when she was young, and then gradually turned to the film and television industry, and the university she graduated from is a drama school that Zhou Ruchen studied before going abroad for further study.

Thinking of that intimate letter, Zhou heard that this woman must have been very familiar with her mother, at least before she became pregnant.

Bai Han has long since withdrawn from the public eye for so many years, and the address of his current residence is also known by Zhou He from an old employee of Yuntu. Because after all, Bai Han is no longer a big-name star, and Zhou heard that his mother and Bai Han might have a relationship, and in the face of a down-to-earth actor who has never had any twists and turns, the old employee naturally gave the address without thinking.

Zhou Heting pinched the piece of paper with Bai Han's address and walked to the bus station against the cold wind, when the bus came, there was almost only the driver on the bus, Zhou Heting picked a position by the window and sat down, and after closing the wide open window, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the landline phone of Bai Han's house.

The phone rang a few seconds later, and it was answered by a young man, with a hint of joy in his calm voice, "Hey? Which one, please? ”

Zhou Yiting hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "I'm looking for Ms. Bai Han, is she at home?" ”

The man seemed to laugh with some doubts, and asked, "Then mind if I ask who you are first, I am Ms. Bai's son." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My mother was a classmate of hers and wanted me to come and greet her during the holidays. ”

Although the man felt that this statement was a little strange, but after all, it was indeed New Year's Day, and he still did not question Zhou Heting's reasoning, and said "Then please wait" and put down the receiver to call his mother, who was watching TV in the living room.

Bai Han was also a little puzzled after hearing what he relayed, "Old classmate? After so many years, my old classmates who are still in contact with me only called during the lunar year, and this is the first time in the solar calendar year. ”

Cui Menghua shrugged, "That's exactly what he said, go ahead, it's not good to make people wait too long." ”

"Stinky Boy...... Dare to urge you >& Mom. ”

Bai Han snorted at his son, who was becoming more and more unruly, and did walk a few steps quickly to the phone, and picked up the receiver without thinking, "Hey? I'm Bai Han. ”

Before she could ask the "Who are you?" sentence, she heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone that was not kind, "I'm listening." ”

Bai Han was a little dazed when she heard the voice of this young man with a low tone and indifference, and for a few seconds she didn't understand what this person wanted to tell her, but the second sentence that came soon made her really stunned.

"I am Zhou Ruchen's son, I think you should be familiar with the name Zhou Ruchen."

Bai Han's lips trembled, and even his expression froze

There was no answer, as if she was impatient with her words, but she took advantage of the blank space for two seconds to come back to her senses, and glanced back at her son who was quietly watching a TV show, she grabbed the earpiece and lowered her voice slightly: "You called to find me...... What to do? ”

The man's voice always had a hint of tenderness, but it made Bai Han hear a completely different meaning, and every word seemed to be very dangerous.

"I didn't want to do anything, I just saw a letter related to my mother, so I wanted to ask you about her past." Zhou Er listened to the street scene that kept passing outside the car window, and his eyes were indifferent, "My son wants to know more about his mother, which is very reasonable." ”

Bai Han's eyes flashed with a subtle and sharp vigilance like a ray of wheat, "Letter? What letter? She quickly retrieved a message related to the letter in her head, but her face was very calm.

"It's just a waste letter that you didn't send, but the recipient is my mother, so I'm curious," Zhou He slowly explained knowingly, "why didn't you send that letter in the first place?" ”

Bai Han's calm expression finally broke a little unsteadily, she bit her lip to stabilize her mood, and replied in a tone as smooth and frank as possible: "It's all old things from many years ago, and I'm also old, so I've basically forgotten about it a long time ago, and I only have a vague impression when you say this...... But I really don't remember the reason, probably because the content is not satisfied. ”

Zhou listened carefully to her explanation, "I am not satisfied with the writing......"

Bai Han was aroused by his inaudible low voice, she pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that your mother asked you to call me to ask how it was, why did it get involved in other things, how has your mother been doing in the past few years?" We've been in a lot less contact since she went to England, but we haven't heard from her for years. ”

Zhou He almost sneered when he heard this, and he replied without a trace of emotion: "Of course you won't hear from her, because she died five years ago. ”

He listened to the shocked questioning voice of the woman on the other end of the phone, who was acting and acting in a full suit, only to feel as hypocritical as Yan Ru, and he no longer had patience, so he put down a hard & Bang & Bang "I think you should have known about her death a long time ago" and simply hung up the phone.

In fact, he called to simply ask if Bai Han was at home, but he didn't expect such a conversation to be involved, he glanced at the letter that was folded and placed in the pocket of his windbreaker, and only felt that this trip was indispensable.

Bai Han's pretended pain and suspicion before she hung up the phone, and was dumped with such an ugly sentence, her face was extremely bad.

After Cui Menghua heard the movement here, he leaned over with concern and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

Bai Han didn't give him a good look at it at all, he stood there and didn't know what he was thinking, and then ran to the study for a long time regardless of it, and moved the bookshelf and a wooden box that had been placed in the corner for many years to rummage through it, Cui Menghua stood at the door of the study and only felt confused, "Mom, what are you looking for?" What did that phone call say? ”

Bai Han quickly turned it upside down, and finally knelt on the ground with a little decadence, turned his head and asked Cui Menghua eagerly, "There is a book, a German version of "Hamlet"!" It's gone! ”

Cui Menghuaqi said: "That book? Are you looking for that book? ”

Bai Han continued to anxiously rummage through the pile of books, and even a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I think I've taken that book and read it." Pei Menghua said while recalling, "When I first learned German, I originally wanted to see what I had learned, but then I was delayed because I was too busy with filming, so I didn't read a few pages, and the book has been placed with me since then." ”

Bai Han hurriedly asked, "Then where is it now?" ”

"......," Cui Menghua pondered, "I have always been in that apartment in Nobita...... Later, after moving...... Because the bookshelves in my new home were not large, I moved all the foreign books that I had barely read back here. ”

Bai Han pointed back at the bookshelf, "Here!?" ”

"yes, it's all there."

"But there's no such book in it! No! ”

Cui Menghua couldn't understand his mother's sudden anger, and said confusedly: "It's just a book...... Does it matter? I guess I accidentally left it in that apartment when I moved. ”

Bai Han gritted his teeth, "Of course it's important!" ”

Cui Menghua walked over and stroked his mother's tense shoulders soothingly, and said in a good voice: "Okay, okay, since it's really so important, then I'll contact the actor who lives in the apartment now, don't worry, I'm in a hurry." ”

Bai Han didn't pay attention to his words to comfort him, and the whole person was still very anxious, "Why aren't you in a hurry!" What's the use of asking now! He's got it anyway! ”

Cui Menghua was even more puzzled, "What did you get, who got it?" The guy who just called? ”

Bai Han didn't have the heart to explain to him anymore, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but the doorbell at home suddenly rang.
