CHAPTER XLV
After Yan Ran walked out of the restaurant, he immediately sent a message to Yin Lu, "I've broken up, come pick me up." Then she stood on the side of the road, looking at the people coming and going on the street with some distraction, and then looked up at the sun in the sky for a while, and felt that her eyes were gradually moistening, and she felt a little dazzling by the sun, so she quickly put on her sunglasses.
The car drove quickly, and Yan Ran subconsciously pushed his sunglasses up and sat on them expressionlessly.
"Sister Ran, where are you going?" The driver turned his head and asked cautiously at Yan Ran in the back seat of the car.
"Police station."
"The police station?" The two assistants sitting next to her looked confused, "What are you going to do at the police station?" It's not for the sake of Wen Yan, is it? Sister Ran, we all said that you went home after filming at noon that day, and we didn't talk to her at all, and the woman wanted to drag you, don't even think about it. ”
"Who told you to talk nonsense? I've seen her, I've seen her, what's there to hide, look at this you've done. Yan Yan's voice sounded very annoyed, "I didn't want to avoid it at all, I just wanted her to suffer a little, let her know that she was afraid, you know how annoying this woman is?" Always pretending to be indifferent and self-righteous virtue, thinking that the whole world revolves around her, as long as I see her, I am not in the mood all day. ”
The two assistants didn't dare to speak for a while, but the driver was still at a loss, so he could only ask stubbornly: "Then, should we still go to the police station?" ”
"Nonsense, who are you taking me for? Human life is a matter of heaven, can you joke? Yan Ran was angry at this moment, and he yelled at the driver so loudly that he didn't dare to speak.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment, and Yin Lu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Yan Ran thoughtfully, and said in a calm tone: "You know, Wen Yan is a big deal this time, this is human life, as long as you don't speak, everyone will hold on to her lying, and no matter whether she really killed someone or not, this circle will not be able to tolerate it."
She, then she will never be able to turn over again, and you, you can easily defeat her. ”
"I don't care to use this method against her, I'm not afraid to compete fairly with her, she can't win me." Yan Ran raised his chin and said calmly to Yin Lu.
"Oh? Is it just because you want to play fair? Yin Lu helped her black-rimmed glasses, narrowed her eyes and looked at Yan Ran.
Yan Ran frowned slightly, her heart, no matter how deep she hid, could always be broken by Yin Lu, this top agent in the entertainment industry has never been famous, her mind is deep, and her eyes are even more vicious. Yan Ran was silent for a while, and then said seemingly casually: "Gu Heng will not give up on her, he will definitely try his best, if someone must come out to testify, or I come, this matter is not a trivial matter, anyone may betray him, but I will not." ”
Yin Lu frowned, his gaze became complex and profound: "I must remind you that you have broken up. Even if you don't do anything, he can't blame you. ”
Hearing the word "break up", the two assistants and the driver in the car suddenly opened their mouths in shock, and they didn't dare to ask a sentence in their throats.
There was a little panic on Yan Yan's face, but he forced himself to make a look of indifference: "I don't need you to remind me, I'm not for him." She lowered her head and looked at the red nail polish that had just been applied in the morning, and there was still a little wolf in her eyes, "Well, I admit that there is also a little reason, no matter what, he used to be very good to me, without him, there would be no me today, although I have always wanted to climb up with my own ability, but I also have to admit that it was he who made me climb so fast and stand so high, I can't give him back these things, so I can only do something for him." ”
"Really? Have you said these things to him? He will be grateful to you. Yin Lu was serious, and his voice was unexpectedly relaxed and ridiculous.
Who scarcely appreciates his gratitude. I'm not cheap enough to do this, and now that the words have been spoken, I have nothing to do with him anymore. Yan Ran raised his head, looked at the cars coming and going outside through the glass window, and his voice slowly lowered, "Just take it as a parting gift." ”
Yin Lu stared at Yan Ran silently for a long time, and finally turned his head away, then relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, making it look like he wanted to rest, but inadvertently let out a chuckle like a sigh: "You young people, what qualifications do you have to become a superstar." She closed her eyes, as if she didn't bother to pay attention to anyone anymore, but she slowed down her tone and bit it clearly, as if she was saying it to Yan Ran, and as if she was talking to herself, "It's good to be young, it doesn't matter, do what you think, life will give you the answer." ”
On the fifteenth day after Bai Xiao's death, it rained outside again, and the sky was gloomy, just like the evening of the day she left, the air was filled with water vapor, and every qiē seemed hazy and indistinguishable.
Wen Yan sat alone in front of the window, holding a cup of hot black coffee in his hand, looking at the rain outside, silently and slowly covering the whole world.
The pot of white roses at her feet bloomed, thanked, and bloomed, and this was already the second flowering season.
Three days ago, Shen Silent told her that Bai Xiao's case had a result, because the police did not have enough evidence to prove that this matter was related to Wen Yan, and there was no evidence to prove that this was a premeditated homicide, the most important point is that the police found an email similar to a suicide note in Bai Xiao's laptop a few days ago, and she wrote very clearly in the email that she was physically and mentally exhausted, as well as her deep disgust and despair for this circle and even the world, plus the reasonable conjecture of the message she sent to Wen Yan, it has been preliminarily determined to be suicide.
In the past 10 days or so, the police have come to the door every once in a while to ask for cooperation, the reporters have persevered in encircling and intercepting them, and the waves of unsettled and indiscriminate bombardment on the Internet have all calmed down in an instant. This seems to be the best outcome, she has cleared her suspicions and can come back to work, people will no longer blame her, and the entertainment industry will not tolerate her, everyone is happy. But somehow, such a result was accepted by those who had been waiting all their time to watch her fall, but it was she who couldn't accept it.
She couldn't understand why, but she just felt that something was wrong, maybe Bai Xiao's smile was too dazzling that day, like a light, and she had never been able to connect light with darkness and death.
During the time when he was resting at home, Wen Yan also gave Yin Zhan a holiday, and then stuffed himself in the house, thinking about a lot of things unconsciously. When she was alone, in order to pass such a long and dull time, she slowly and unconsciously drank a lot of bitter black coffee.
Someone outside was knocking on the door, Wen Yan came back to his senses, stood up and went to open the door.
There is no suspense about Yin Zhan, he is carrying a black umbrella, his shoulders are still a little wet, and he has a little wet moisture all over his body, but he still has a smile on his face.
"Sister, are you ready? Work will start tomorrow. ”
"Hmm." Wen Yan turned around, and then asked as usual, "Coffee or soda." ”
"Soda." Yin Zhan seemed a little unhappy, "Sister, you only have coffee and soda at home, you drink coffee, isn't the soda just for me?" You know I don't drink coffee, and I always ask, is it so hard to remember my habits? ”
Wen Yan paused, then handed the soda over, "I just don't like to make decisions for others." ”
Yin Zhan snorted, then smiled, poured most of the bottle in one go, wiped his mouth with his hand, and showed an expression of escape: "The matter has finally passed, it's good, I thought we were going to be forced to quit the showbiz, Young Master Shen is really powerful, if it weren't for him, I really don't know what to do." ”
"Worried about not being able to be a gold medal assistant?" Wen Yan joked lightly.
"Cut, I'm worried about you, what's wrong if you can't be a gold assistant? It would be a shame if you quit the entertainment industry. ”
Wen Yan turned his head to look at the sky outside, and took another sip of coffee: "Hmm." ”
"But it's a lot of twists and turns. First of all, Yan ran to the police station and said that he had seen you that afternoon, and then her two assistants changed their words and said that they had made a mistake on the day of making the record, saying that they had been working day and night lately, and their fatigue was over, and their brains were down, and I went to ...... But if it turns out that you're not lying, the police and the media won't hold on to it. Later, I don't know what's going on.,The police found Bai Xiao's laptop.,And found that kind of desperate email for the world inside.,To determine that she committed suicide.,Then there was a little episode.,I heard that the email was sent to the wrong address.,The person who received it didn't have zài at all.,This incident suddenly angered the person in charge of investigating the case.,Then that person suddenly popped up again.,It turned out to be a foreigner.,And it's Bai Xiao's friend for many years.,I used to be a classmate or something.,Sister,You say this.,Why is it so mysterious? ”
Wen Yan finished the last sip of coffee in the cup, then turned around to rinse the cup, and her voice came softly: "The most mysterious thing, isn't it that she suddenly fell down from the stairs?" ”
Yin Zhan looked at Wen Yan's back blankly, and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, this is more mysterious." ”
In the evening, when the rain gradually stopped, Wen put down the somewhat hot phone in his hand and looked up at the already dark sky outside.
She walked out of the room and walked slowly down the wooden staircase, and the silence around her, the whole city, seemed to have fallen asleep in advance.
The large living room turned off the grand chandelier and lit only a table lamp, which was dimly yellow, reflecting the slightly blurred back of the sitting chair.
He lowered his head slightly, looked at the newspaper seriously by a little dim light, and occasionally raised his hand to hold his glasses, although he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but the few white hairs on his temples were clear and dazzling, Wen Su stood behind him and was silent for a long time, and a trace of sadness suddenly crossed his heart.
Her father is old, without the momentum and majesty of thunder, but only a state of mind that is at ease with the situation and a look that is about to leave.
Although I will smile at her and chat with her, it seems that there is always only one topic, asking how the company is doing recently, whether everyone is working seriously and what are the plans for the new year. And when she spoke to him with excitement and enthusiasm, his expression didn't seem so interested. As a daughter, she never seemed to understand her father.
"Dad." Wen Gu stood behind the old man and let out a low cry.
He didn't turn around, just subconsciously hummed. Then he continued to look at the newspaper in his hand, as if there was a vivid picture on it, or whose face could be seen.
Wen Gu frowned and called again: "Dad." ”
The old man didn't answer her this time, and only said after a while, "Is there something wrong?" ”
looked at him steadily, his eyes moved to the newspaper in his hand, and his voice was astringent: "Dad, you read the newspaper every day and pay attention to financial news, but you never care about the company, you read the entertainment page, read the gossip headlines, but never care about me, Dad, in your heart, what is important?" ”
"The company has been handed over to you, and you're doing a great job." The old man said nonchalantly, "So I have nothing to care about." ”
"So, you shifted your attention to Wen Yan, do you care about her, help her, and do things that make me feel cold?" Finally, I couldn't help but speak.
The old man fell silent, and his voice became stern: "You're talking to your father now, aren't you?" Is this the attitude you should have when talking to your father? He put down the newspaper, rested his hands on his lap, and naturally clasped each other.
"I just want to know what you did?"
"What did you do? Child. The old man turned his head slowly, and looked at her with a shrewd and slightly cloudy gaze.
Wen Su took a few steps forward and came face to face with the old man, perhaps because of her condescension, and there was a bit of natural momentum in her tone: "I don't want to do anything, no one should reach out to do anything about this." But Gu Heng appeared, he wanted to stir up the situation, okay, yes, but Shen Jing also came, he also wanted to help Wen Yan, Dad, the law is fair, right, it must be able to give us the truth, how can so many people be allowed to stir up the situation? ”
The old man didn't look at her, just nodded his head slightly: "Well, the law is fair, what about you?" Why join in? ”
Wen Gu curled the corners of his beautiful lips and looked a little proud: "Yes, the law is fair, but it is occasionally unbalanced. ”
"So, you control the person who receives the email, and not let others find it, is a check and balance?" The old man raised his head and looked at Wen Gu with an incredulous look, "That's how you take care of the company?" ”
Wen Gu was silent for a while, and then sneered: "Dad, what about you, no matter how much I control people, you still have the ability to find him out, you can still cover the sky with one hand, what Gu Heng can't do, what Shen Jing can't do, you can do it." What if the company is handed over to me, it is not mine after all, even if you just sit at home and read the newspaper, it is yours. Wen looked at the old man and smiled slightly, "Dad, you should also be fair, you can do it in the past twenty years, why can't you do it now?" Just because Wen Yan admitted in front of the media that Wen Shijun was her father, did you lose your mind? ”
She bit her lip lightly, and although she smiled, her voice finally trembled and asked, "Dad, who is your daughter?" ”
There was a sudden silence in the living room, and the father and daughter, quietly, looked at each other in some surprise. The moment this sentence was asked, she regretted it, and she quickly realized what hurtful words she had just said, and what unfilial and embarrassing words her respected father had heard.
The figure of the old man seemed to be slightly stiff, unable to answer for a long time, the hands that had been gently clasped slowly parted and placed on his legs, and the rough palms pressed the legs that could no longer move, as if he wanted to use all his strength to think about this sentence, his face was already pale, but the expression on his face was gentle and calm.
Wen Su couldn't be as calm as him, even on the surface, she looked at his gloomy gaze, and the green tendons highlighted by a pair of thin hands were shaking, and finally couldn't help but let go of her posture.
"Dad, I'm sorry." She bowed her head deeply, "I lost my words. ”
After a long time, the old man regained his loose consciousness and slowly spoke: "It doesn't matter, you just need to remember that you will be the heir of the Wen family in the future, and no one can replace you." You can lose your words, but you can't lose your morality. ”
Wen Gu's heart was sour, and he couldn't help leaning down, hugging the already thin and weak shoulder, and sighing softly on his shoulder, but the words that were circling in his mind never had the courage to say it.
Dad, I'm sorry. I never wanted to be an heir, I just wanted to be your daughter. She looked up at the gloomy sky outside, as if she heard some voice echoing in her heart countless times.
But there are always people who want to ruin this qiē, so they want to tear her into pieces, and then let those restless pieces splash all over the world. Even if someone tries to piece it together, they can't put it back together.
