88.Fifty-two
Meng Liangren estimated Meng Jun's schedule and decided to go to his apartment at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon to find him.
Although the current situation is worrying, what comforts Meng Liangren a little is that the photos shown by the reporter were all taken in the distance behind Meng Jun, so only Meng Liangren's face was photographed, and Meng Jun only had a vague back.
The entertainment industry has always been chaotic, and some people joked that there are "ten men and nine gay" in the circle, although it is not so exaggerated, but there are more unbelievable things than this, which is not surprising.
As for the fan base and fans outside the circle, it is certain that they will be affected this time, and the other party chose to expose the photos when the movie was released, in order to hit the box office. Meng Liangren calmed down and thought about it carefully, and even felt that this was a premeditated revenge against him personally, after all, after this movie was released, it might be another step up for him, and now that the early publicity has been frustrated, it is already a bad start.
After thinking about it, he suddenly felt relieved, what kind of life did he live in the past? Worrying is like walking on thin ice, for fear that one wrong step will harm oneself and others, and it is already exhaustive to be able to protect oneself, let alone worry about the future.
After a few years of comfort, it is easy to be knocked down by such a trivial matter.
After laughing at himself for a while, he got up and got something to fill his stomach, flipped through the address book, and found the phone number of the assistant lady under Meng Jun, when he lived at Meng Jun's house, this assistant lady came to take the text for Meng Jun several times, and he found the one who sent him downstairs to her.
The assistant's surname is Bai, Meng Liangren patiently listened to a few rings in the earpiece, was picked up, and the little assistant's cautious voice sounded: "Meng, Mr. Meng?" ”
Meng Liang said: "Assistant Bai, I have something to find you Mr. Meng, can you ask him if he has time after work tomorrow afternoon?" I went to his house to look for him. ”
The assistant lady said "ah": "Mr. Meng hasn't come to the company for two days." ”
Meng Liangren's heart suddenly burst out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The assistant lady looked left and right, and said into the phone: "There was a meeting yesterday morning, five minutes before the meeting, Mr. Meng suddenly called me to cancel, and then he never came to the company, in the afternoon, he asked me to buy him a kind of canned food to bring over, I went to his house, and saw the old cat he had been raising, it seemed that it was not good." ”
Meng Liangren's heart tightened: "Garfield? ”
"Yes, that's the name. Mr. Meng asked me to take three days off for him, and then I agreed and left. ”
"Is he still in the apartment?"
"No, I don't know."
Meng Liangren pondered for a while and said, "Okay." Thank you. ”
"No, no, no." The assistant lady said again and again.
"He looks ......" Meng Liangren still couldn't hold back, and asked more, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”
The assistant lady shook her head and said, "Mr. Meng doesn't like to show his feelings to others, but if you go to him, it should be much better, after all, couples are different from us." ”
Meng Liangdao: "Couples? ”
The assistant lady was also surprised: "Aren't you a couple?" In fact, in her brain, these two should have become lovers a long time ago, and they had to separate because of many obstacles to sadomasochistic love, and finally reunited in a different place, **...... Ah no, the broken mirror is reunited.
While thinking, she picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, listening to Mr. Meng's tone, is it that they Meng are always unrequited? Could it be someone else in that news photo?
Ah, good TM abuse.
"We ......" Meng Liangren pressed the corner of his forehead, feeling that the more he explained, the more chaotic it became, so it was better to keep his mouth shut.
In the afternoon, Cheney called him and said that the storm over the photos had subsided, after all, the power of the Meng family was there, and no news agency with a little fame would take the initiative to report it.
However, a large number of water armies surged on the Internet, some directly scolded, some tried their best to find out who the other protagonist of the photo was, and even spread all kinds of rumors, and by the way, they picked up all the female movie stars who had scandals with Meng Liangren.
Thirty years ago, a famous actress said, "People are terrible." This sentence will always apply in the entertainment industry.
"You have to be careful when you go out these two days, it's best not to go out."
"Hmm." Meng Liangren responded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "I have to go to the bar on South Street." ”
Cheney wailed: "Ancestor Xuan, I told you to hide from people, but you stuck in the pile of people. ”
"I have to go." Meng Liangren said thoughtfully.
He remembered the photo hidden on the bookshelf in Meng Jun's study, which he deliberately ignored.
He avoided it for two months, but he vaguely knew in his heart that one day he would have to face this qiē, he just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
The bar was full of laughter, the band played the small stage on the side, whether it was having fun or getting drunk, they all had their own place, Meng Liangren sat in an inconspicuous corner, although there were many insiders in this bar, and the security measures were credible, but after all, he was still on the cusp, and he couldn't just find someone to ask him.
After sitting for half an hour, the person I was looking for appeared around the bar, asked the waiter a few words, and turned around and walked to the private room in the back. Meng Liangren put down the wine that only touched his lips slightly, got up and followed without a trace.
As the boss, Zhang Baicao basically comes to the bar every day to sit, not out of a sense of responsibility, but it is located in a prosperous area, but it is quiet, there are many regular customers, and there will be many new faces, which is really a good place to hunt beauty.
He recently looked at a second-tier star, and when he arrived in the back room, the two of them were chatting while **.
"You know that news photo that's been on fire these days, right?"
"Which one?" Zhang Baicao paused, "The one who took pictures downstairs of the apartment?" ”
"Yes, I just now, I seem to have seen the protagonist of the scandal."
Zhang Baicao was shocked, stopped and said, "Where did you see it?" ”
The little star snorted and said impatiently: "Why do you care so much about him, can you do it?" ”
Zhang Baicao coaxed: "Of course you did, baby, but don't say half of what you say, where did you say you saw someone?" ”
"It's ......"
"Here, it's me."
A voice came steadily from the door of the private room, and the little star lying below was so frightened that he kicked Zhang Baicao to the ground.
Meng Liangren stood by the door and stretched out his hands to the stunned two, "You didn't close the door." ”
Zhang Baicao hurriedly got dressed, sent his lover to the bar outside and waited for a while before sitting in front of Meng Liangren: "Mr. Meng, can you not be so elusive?" ”
Meng Liangren didn't have the heart to joke with him, when he thought of the answer he was about to face, how to solve it was still a mess, and the corners of his mouth tugged: "I'm here to ask you some questions." ”
Zhang Baicao saw that there was no smile in his eyes, so he sat up straight and said, "You ask." ”
Meng Liangdao: "You and Meng Jun know each other? ”
"This ......"
"I just want to hear the truth, I believe that now that Meng Jun is here, he will definitely let you tell the truth."
“…… Yes. ”
"Then there is a picture of me here in his house, and you helped take it? The little girl you said had a crush on me, you made it up? You can fool people. Meng Liangren sighed and fell silent.
Zhang Baicao didn't know how to respond, he helped Meng Jun out of friendliness, but he couldn't understand Meng Jun's original intention of doing this. Since Meng Jun knew him, he seemed to be burdened with a different kind of feeling, which and his own personality made him build an insurmountable wall facing the outside world, and no matter how good the prosperous world was, it could not be reflected in his eyes.
Meng Liangren stood up and put his hand in his trouser pocket: "I understand, so I asked here, recently, after the photo came out, did he contact you?" ”
Zhang Baicao said honestly: "Since you didn't come to the bar, he hasn't come over, he made a phone call to me a week or two before the accident, and he said it was all business, and there was really no news in the past few days." ”
Meng Liangren nodded and said, "Okay." If he contacts you, feel free to tell me, and I'll leave the phone to you, and you can call whenever you want. ”
"Okay. Then Mr. Meng, are you gone? Don't stay a little longer? ”
Meng Liangren strode towards the door, and when he heard this, he turned back and said, "I have to do everything I can to find his people." Since you are good friends with him, you don't need to call Mr. Meng, just call me by my name or call uncle. ”
"Let's go, Meng ...... Brother-in-law. Zhang Baicao shouted this title, and Meng Liangren had disappeared by the door. He thought to himself, he always thought that Meng Jun was a bitter unrequited love, but now looking at the situation, it seems that the other party is also a little interesting.
Meng Liangren avoided the crowd and came out of the bar and returned to the car, he thought for a long time, if Garfield's life really came to an end, then Meng Jun would only have to go to one place, and that was the place where he picked it up in the first place.
He started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the Meng family's old house.
The closer he got to his destination, the calmer he seemed to be, as if it was just the most normal day, and he finished his work and drove home to meet someone he would see every day.
The car drove into the residential area, and the mobile phone on the co-pilot suddenly rang, Meng Liangren put on the headphones and said, "Cheney? ”
Cheney's voice was calm: "Where are you?" ”
"I'm on my way back to the old house, I'm almost at the door, what's wrong?"
"That's good, you stay at your house for the past two days, don't come out."
Meng Liangren frowned: "Cheney, what's wrong?" He made a turn and parked the car under the old mansion.
"I'll give you the link."
Cheney said and hung up the phone, Meng Liangren locked the car, and clicked on the link he sent as he stepped on the steps.
While the page was still hopping, he rang the doorbell, and after a short wait, someone came to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, he and Meng Jun looked at each other.
The screen in his hand loaded a colorful news interface, Meng Liangren subconsciously looked down, and the words "uncle and nephew", "forbidden/taboo" and "disorderly/incest" came into view along with his name.
