55 Chapter 55

The reason for falling from the altar

At the beginning of April, it has been a rainy day when the sun is not visible, the sky is always gray, and the temperature is wet and cold, which makes people very uncomfortable.

The weather was a little sunny that afternoon, and Yuan Xu, who had been at home for a few days, took Su Wei to drive to the supermarket.

After the night by the lake, she could feel the change in his attitude, and although he still said very little, he no longer blindly refused some of her arrangements.

It's not a holiday, there are not many people in the supermarket, and Yuan Xu is wrapped in a scarf and wears black-framed glasses, but he is not afraid of being recognized.

The way he buys things is similar to his attitude towards life today, and from the simplest point of view, most of the products that are put into the shopping cart are instant noodles and frozen semi-finished products.

Before leaving the frozen food section, he stopped in front of the cold drink cabinet.

Not far behind him, Su Weizheng followed unhurriedly, not interfering with his choice, and when he saw him looking back, he only smiled at him.

"Do you want ice cream?" He asked her.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more, "Vanilla-flavored." Her eyes were shallow and serene, just as her voice gave people, peaceful and warm, like a spring in the woods, and a breeze blowing on her face.

He had found someone to know about her, and knew that she had worked as an assistant by Ruan Chengze and Zhou Lina after entering M&S, but it was not for long.

There are many rumors about her in the company, some people say that she has a lot of background and a not simple background, but it was later revealed that she had worked as a model in Europe many years ago.

However, all these bits and pieces add up, but they still can't explain who she is and why she's around him.

To him, she remained an enigma, a stranger who knew nothing about her. But when he and her occasionally looked at each other inadvertently, for a moment, he felt as if he had known each other for a long time.

It's a very subtle feeling, obviously there are too many unknowns, but sometimes a glance and a word can calm his heart.

He grabbed a few cans of ice cream and put them in his cart, then moved forward again.

Behind her, she stepped up to follow.

It was not long before the afternoon sun appeared and hid, and it was not yet four o'clock, when the sky was already darkened by the dense dark clouds. Not long after the two left the supermarket, Pang Zhen called and asked Su Wei to have dinner and talk about things in the evening.

Of course, Su Wei understood what she wanted to talk about, and hung up the phone to ask if Yuan Xu was together at night.

"Nope." He closed the trunk, looked at the sky, and motioned for her to get into the car, "Where is the location, I'll send you there." ”

Pang Zhenyue's place is a club frequented by artists in the circle, located in the east of the city, a five-story building along the road, which looks inconspicuous on the outside, but it belongs to a membership-based place, and you may not be able to enter if you have money.

The two have known each other for so long, Pang Zhen rarely makes an appointment with her to meet in such a place, she is very casual, and she can eat happily at roadside stalls. Su Wei estimated that she still had a job before, and she really wanted to know about the situation on Yuan Xu's side, so she would directly let her come to her.

The dusty jeep is parked on the side of the road, which is very incompatible with the luxury cars of R8 and 911 on both sides of the road.

It's been raining for the past few days, and it's hard for these people to maintain their cars so cleanly, as if they just came out of the car wash.

"Thank you." Su Wei took his backpack and was about to get out of the car, when a black sports car drove behind them at a distance almost attached to a jeep, and then made a turn and stopped in front of the main entrance of the clubhouse.

Su Wei had already opened the car door at that time, but fortunately he hadn't pushed it hard, otherwise something would have happened.

It was a Ferrari, and the car and the people driving it were arrogant.

Yuan Xu looked at the front of him lightly and didn't say anything. Su Wei knew that he was too lazy to meet this kind of person at all, so he only smiled, "I'll go over first, you go home and drive slowly, it may rain again." ”

She pushed the door and stepped down the jeep, but subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and when she looked back, she found that Yuan Xu's expression had become a little strange.

Su Wei followed his line of sight and saw a long-haired woman dressed fashionably and wearing sunglasses walking out of the door of the club, the owner of the Ferrari opened the door and got out of the car, kissed her with a smile, took the bag in her hand, and opened the passenger door for her.

From the appearance of the woman to the time when the two of them left in the car, it was only a minute, but Yuan Xu's expression had completely changed.

There was a kind of bitter coldness emanating from his body, the knuckles of the steering wheel were clenched to whiteness, he pressed his eyebrows, staring at the direction of the car leaving, and the whole person seemed to go to another space in an instant, becoming strange and strange.

"Forgiven." Su Wei tried to call him.

As if he had suddenly woken up from some dream, he glanced back at her, his eyes were terrifyingly sharp, "Shut the door!" He rebuked.

Su Wei immediately stepped back and closed the car door, and almost at the same time, the man stepped on the accelerator, and the car turned in the opposite direction and drove away.

Su Wei stood in place in a daze, and after a few minutes, when she remembered where she had seen the woman, she understood.

No wonder she looked familiar to her, she had seen that woman in France many years ago.

Her name is Bai Xiayu, and she is Yuan Xu's ex-wife.

Five or six years ago, when Su Wei heard the news of Yuan Xu's accident, he searched the Internet for all the reports about the year of his accident.

All the reports are related to a woman named Bai Xiayu.

She is also an artist, and she has been debuting for a few years, but she has always been a third-rate singer with an unknown reputation. Before those reports came out, no one would associate such an ordinary little singer with the actor Yuan Xu.

The incident started when someone broke the news that Yuan Xu, whose public image has always been single, secretly registered his marriage a few years ago, and his other half was Bai Xiayu.

It is said that she met Yuan Xu not long after her debut, when she was young, and then Yuan Xu pursued her. After that, the two began dating, but Yuan Xu asked him to keep their relationship secret on the grounds of his career. This secrecy is a few years, and in the past few years, Yuan Xu's career has climbed all the way to the peak, but Bai Xiayu rarely receives notices because of Yuan Xu's requirements, and he doesn't even release a few new songs. She fell in love with Yuan Xu wholeheartedly, accommodating his time to accompany him, and was willing to be the woman behind him.

But until the two got married, the relationship was still not made public.

If it's just that, it doesn't matter, because the public image has always been single, and Yuan Xu himself is handsome and incomparable, and there are few women who like him inside and outside the circle.

Although he is not a male artist with a chaotic private life, he is in the circle, and it is inevitable that he will not be contaminated by some scandals.

Bai Xiayu has always believed in the original words, thinking that those are just propaganda needs, but slowly she found out from all kinds of clues that her lover had other women outside. Later, she even witnessed his betrayal.

Bai Xiayu loves Forgiveness deeply and still wants to save her marriage, but her forgiveness has not brought him remorse. He cheated and betrayed again, and even began to be violent against Bai Xiayu.

In the end, the two ended in divorce.

Yuan Xu is too famous, he has debuted for many years, and his public image has always been gentle and modest, and the original Xu revealed in the report is almost the same as what he presents

are two people who are completely opposite.

If Guangguang was just a hidden marriage, maybe it wouldn't be anything, but Bai Xiayu sacrificed his career and swallowed his anger, but he was repeatedly betrayed, and finally ended up being abandoned

As soon as the secret was revealed, it immediately caused a public uproar.

In the early days, the report only revealed that the original secret marriage was concealed, and M&S had come forward to deny it, after all, there was no evidence, and the report was easily dismissed. Then, the additional report began to dig deeper layer by layer, not only clearly presenting the entire incident, but even disclosing the divorce agreement between the two.

This turned M&S's previous denial into a quibble and deception, causing public dissatisfaction.

Under heavy pressure, M&S admitted the hidden marriage incident and apologized to the public, but still refused to admit the cheating in marriage.

However, someone soon dug up Bai Xiayu's injury report more than half a year ago, the woman in the photo was haggard and sad, her left cheek was high and swollen, the corners of her eyes were even more bruised, and there was a cut on her forehead.

After that, the report was even more out of control.

And Yuan Xu, who has been silent for a long time, answered questions from the media at a public event when the agency has not yet responded to this. His response was just two words: sorry.

Not denial, not protest media, not rebuttal.

It's something like an apology.

For the media public, this is undoubtedly an acknowledgement.

After that, there was a lot of β–‘β–‘ about him, most of which were repetitive, and in those months, wherever he went, he was blocked by the media. The website scolding war against him also did not stop for a long time, at first there were many fans who supported him, but as time passed, he suspended the announcement and did not show up for a long time, and many fans turned into passers-by.

The two words "original promise" have become synonymous with deception, betrayal and domestic violence.

After the media tension passed, he occasionally appeared in public, but after each appearance, the media network tended to report negatively about him.

After that, the official news of the termination of the contract between Yuan Xu and M&S Company appeared. Although the reason behind it was that the contract expired and was not renewed, it also caused a stir in the media, so he had two more words of anger.

After the box office failure of several consecutive movies, some media revealed that Yuan Xu had re-signed M&S, but after this time, his reputation was not as good as before, and the public rarely saw him on the screen, and gradually, he faded out of the public eye.

However, Bai Xiayu, after becoming a household name due to the hidden marriage incident, transformed from a singer to an actor, and received several good serials, and slowly climbed from the third line to the first line in recent years, and is quite famous in the circle.

Some editors on the Internet who love fried cold rice will mention them in some posts that take stock of divorced celebrity couples, commenting that one of the two has fallen from a high position, and the other has come to a hard time, saying that the entertainment industry is still fair, and the public cannot be deceived.

Su Wei searched for news, and it was inevitable that he would see these posts, and he couldn't help but sigh that many people in the world were the same. The truth of the matter is not at all what a few reports can summarize.

In her position, she believed in what she knew, that he wasn't that kind of person. So she also wondered why he would give the media a similar acknowledgment response after the incident.

At the beginning, she actually had doubts about this matter, but because she was eager to find the original Xu, coupled with the distance from a foreign country, she didn't delve into it in the end, but today she faintly felt something from the change in the original Xu's expression.

Just thinking about it, he was unexpectedly tapped on the shoulder from behind.

"What are you looking at, so engrossed?" Pang Zhen wore a pair of ten-centimeter high heels today, and he looked particularly tall standing next to Su Wei.

"How did you get out?"

"Isn't this waiting for you to wait!" Pang Zhen put his arm around her shoulders and suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "Guess who I saw just now?" ”

"Bai Xiayu."

"You saw it too!" Pang Zhen, as a loyal fan of Yuan Xu, naturally knows Yuan Xu's ex-wife, "This woman is really not simple, she is almost thirty-seven this year, and she actually caught up with the rich second generation who is five years younger than her." Speaking of which, Yuan Xu fell all the way because of her, but she became a household name, and then climbed step by step. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. In an instant, a formed conjecture quickly swept through Su Wei's mind, and she immediately wrinkled her eyebrows.

If things were as she guessed, why did Yuan Xu say sorry back then?

"Pang Zhen, what do you think of Bai Xiayu?"

"She?" Pang Zhen tugged at the corners of her lips, "She is smart and ambitious, otherwise how could she transform from a singer to an actor so smoothly?" She was almost thirty years old back then, but she insisted on comparing other junior college students in her early twenties to others! What's the matter, suddenly so interested in your artist's ex-wife? ”

Su Wei opened his mouth and said another thing, "I've been thinking about the reason why Yuan Xu is reluctant to take on your role recently. ”

Pang Zhen's expression immediately became serious when he heard this.

"To be honest, the role you gave him is very suitable for him in my opinion, unassuming but outstanding, and if it is played, it can bring back a lot of popularity for him. With such a familiar role, he has no reason to refuse. Unlessβ€”"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the reason for his refusal is this 'mastery'."

Pang Zhen understood when he heard this, "You mean, he doesn't want to go back to the previous path." ”

"It's not just that I don't want to, but it's very repulsive." From his attitude of refusing to leave that night, as well as the abnormality of Su Wei later, I could feel it, "Later, I watched some of the roles he took over in the past few years. All of them are not very good, the most recent one is a β–‘β–‘ murderer, and there were psychopaths, killers, and various strange characters with split personalities...... Speaking of which, even if he is not popular now, there is still M&S top, as for the point of being so bad? ”

"Do you want to say that he wanted to play it himself, so he took those roles?" Pang Zhen felt incredulous, "This, how much of a blow does this person have to suffer to be so masochistic!" He really doesn't want to make a comeback? ”

"Perhaps." Su Wei replied lightly. is the only way to explain that he didn't even want to see her at the beginning, and even disappeared.

Su Wei's footsteps stopped outside the door of the clubhouse, "I'm not going in, I have to find someone to confirm something first." ”

"The original thing?" Pang Zhen glanced at her, said hello very happily, and then entered the clubhouse by himself.

Su Wei walked towards the intersection and took out her mobile phone to dial, and she dialed this number very few times.

After determining the other party's position, she was about to take a taxi, when the bright red double-door A5 slowly slid to her side. Pang Zhen lowered the window and smiled at her, "Get in the car, I'll go with you!" ”

It's an intra-circle party located in a newly opened bar in the city.

In a VIP room on the sixth floor, isolated from the hustle and bustle, Xu Shen stood behind the bar and slowly poured wine. The light of the crystal lamp shone above his head, and he unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, removed the sleeve studs, and his handsome face had a casualness and relaxation that he could not usually see in the company.

On the pure black soft leather sofa opposite, Pang Zhen moved to Su Wei, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were here to find him?" Receiving Su Wei's questioning look, Pang Zhen's expression was slightly helpless, "The difficulty of this boss of your family in the circle is comparable to that of Yves." ”

Su Wei nodded when she heard this, she agreed with this.

Xu Shen was still pouring wine, the room was quiet, Pang Zhen couldn't help it, and leaned into Su Wei's ear again, "Do you really have a leg?" ”

Her voice was clearly weak and inaudible, but the other party raised his head as if he was aware of it, and his deep and cold gaze slowly swept over Pang Zhen.

This kind of scrutiny is more effective than any words, Pang Zhen was suddenly in awe, and immediately sat up and shut up.

The man's long fingers pinched the wine glass and handed it to them, and the ruby red wine gently swayed in the expensive crystal glass, evoking a charming arc, which immediately attracted Pang Zhen's gaze.

"You came just in time, someone else sent a few boxes of Latour's dry red in the afternoon, I remember you like this brand very much, you have woken up, try it."

"What year?" Su Wei was a little surprised, she had dinner with him once, and he actually remembered.

β€œ09。”

Pang Zhen raised his wine glass and observed, "09 years? Doesn't it mean that the older the wine, the better? You are a big boss of M&S, why are others so stingy? ”

"Stingy?" Xu Shen smiled, but eased the atmosphere of Shicai.

Su Wei lowered his head and took a sip, a few boxes of 09-year-old Latour, close to a seven-figure gift, and the shot was not too stingy.

Pang Zhen saw that Su Wei didn't react when he drank it, so he also took a sip, but almost spit out the wine in his mouth. It's not sweet at all, it's still astringent, and the most unbearable thing is that this wine is strong and strong, and it's unusually unpleasant.

"It's so bad!" Pang Zhen frowned and swallowed, this astringent and strong taste, she remembered where she seemed to have drunk it before.

"You're just not used to it." Su Wei used to drink spirits before, and only Latour in the wine met her taste.

"Forget it, let's drink it." Pang Zhen put down his glass. Later, one day, when she finally remembered where she had drunk the same taste of wine and checked the price on the Internet, she realized that even though her friend didn't tell her a lot of things, she never deliberately concealed her meaning.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

On the side, Su Wei and Xu Shen were drinking, and they had already entered the main topic of coming to him today.

Seven or eight years ago, when the original accident happened, Xu Shen was not the principal of M&S. He was the son of the M&S boss, commonly known as the crown prince, and was still studying abroad at that time.

Two years later, he returned to China to take over M&S, and he re-signed a contract with Yuan Xu. I don't know how he talked about it, a customary three-year brokerage contract was negotiated by him for seven years.

Although he was not in M&S when the accident happened, Su Wei believed that he should have known.

Xu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman opposite.

When Su Wei went to Yuan Xu's side with Shang Yu's connections, Xu Shen expected that she would find him sooner or later, but this speed was much faster than he imagined.

"I do know that." Xu Shen leaned back on the wide single sofa and pressed his eyebrows with a straight face, "But this is an internal secret of M&S, why should I tell you?" ”

Pang Zhen leaned into Su Wei's ear and said in a voice, "How do I feel that you have offended him before?" ”

Xu Shen rolled his eyes and said slowly, "Screenwriter Pang, I heard that you have recently taken on a serial. The workload of the series is much larger than that of the movie, are you interested in continuing to take on the movie next time? ”

&sPreviously established a new film and television company, I approached her and wanted her to change a popular network into a movie script. It's a pity that she has always loved originality, so she pushed it.

Is the difficult boss Xu taking the opportunity to blackmail?

Pang Zhen finished haha, and immediately said, "Mr. Xu, you speak in person, there must be no problem!" ”

Xu Shen nodded with satisfaction, "I'll ask the assistant to send you a contract later." When the goal was achieved, he turned his gaze back, "This matter is actually very simple. Su Wei, think about it, who is the biggest beneficiary in the whole thing? In the final analysis, Yuan Xu was still soft-hearted back then. Or, his smooth sailing acting career made him too conceited, and he felt that with his acting skills, even if he was a little β–‘β–‘, it was not a big deal. He believes that his audience will not abandon him, but Bai Xiayu is different, once the truth is exposed, she is finished with everything. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shen's expression darkened, "It's a pity that he was unlucky, and he was wrong." ”

"So you mean that this whole thing was planned by Bai Xiayu himself?" Pang Zhen was stunned, "Although I don't believe that Yuan Xu will cheat on domestic violence, I always thought that someone else was doing this behind her back, how could it be herself...... Is she crazy about being red? Yuan Xu is married to her, why would she do such a thing? For her, being able to fall in love with Yuan Xu is already a virtue in her previous life, not to mention that Yuan Xu is married to her!

Su Wei lowered his eyes, and his eyes, which had always been shallow, were dark at the moment, "When the hype started, they should have already divorced." She had already guessed this, and she wasn't too shocked at the moment.

"Even if that's the case, that's the person I once loved, as for it!"

Xu Shen didn't answer, and drank red wine with a light smile.

Su Wei raised his eyes to look at him and asked again, "What is the real reason for their divorce?" ”

"A woman is always so sharp, it will put a lot of pressure on a man." This time, Xu Shen did not answer directly, "I have said everything I can tell you about the official part, and the rest is a private matter, and it should be up to him to decide whether to say it or not." ”

Pang Zhen sighed when he heard this, "I don't sound like a good thing, I guess it's a hidden marriage......"

"The matter of the original hidden marriage back then was indeed the meaning of the company, and there were also some responsibilities in it." So after he took over M&S, he re-approached Yuan Xu to sign a contract. Otherwise, with his character, it is impossible to sign a person who doesn't know if he can make money for the company.

Su Wei stared at Xu Shen's expression and said slowly, "Since you signed him, you should be responsible for him, an agent like Hu Dongsen is not qualified to bring the original accusation at all." ”

Xu Shen frowned unpleasantly, "Don't blindly favor, Hu Dongsen can't do it, but even if you change someone, the result will be the same." Over the years, he has deliberately avoided Bai Xiayu, and he has never touched the role he was good at before, his problem is in his heart. If you are really good for him, don't be too obedient to him. ”

Xu Shen pinched the empty wine glass, returned to the bar and poured wine for himself, and issued an eviction order, "I have said everything I can say, you can do it yourself." ”

After leaving Xu Shen, Pang Zhen changed her normal silence, and when she was waiting for the elevator, she told Su Wei that she planned to try again about the TV series role.

Since he didn't want to touch the role he was good at before, she wrote a completely new character for him.

There is no emotional drama, no affectionate single-mindedness, no gentleness and elegance, and no Prince Charming.

Su Wei nodded, "He hasn't touched a normal role for a long time, the shaping point is the key, there can be very little dialogue, but the image must be subverted." He has his own pride in acting, and you can impress him with the character itself. ”

"Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, I'm most sure of this kind of thing! It starts tonight! Pang Zhen said and became happy again, stretched out his hand to grab his friend's shoulder and gossiped, "By the way, what is the relationship between you and Xu Shen?" How does it feel complicated and verbose and β–‘β–‘? ”

"Where is it so complicated, Xu Shen and I met a few years ago, and he was not in charge of M&S at that time." Su Wei smiled and said to Pang

Really, there are some things she doesn't intend to hide. Although the other party seems to be gossipy, he actually respects her very much* and never asks like someone to get to the bottom of it.

"You offended him then?"

Su Wei thought for a while, "From his point of view, it should be regarded as -" Speaking of which, the elevator came, and the two were about to enter, but they heard someone behind them coughing heavily.

The coughing sound was very deliberate, Pang Zhen turned his head, and his expression immediately became weird, "Ruan Chengze? ”

Su Wei turned around, and sure enough, he saw a male artist in a delicate mid-sleeved suit leaning on the side of the corridor with his arms crossed, looking at her quietly.

"I heard, you just went to see the boss?" His well-defined jaw was slightly raised, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his expression did not look very cool.

"Who is she going to see and what does it matter to you?" Pang Zhen rolled his eyes. But I have to admit that even with this under-pumped arrogant expression, this dead guy's face is a mess.

"Why didn't your good friend tell you?" Ruan Chengze snorted twice.

"Tell what?" Pang Zhen was puzzled.

"Want to know?" He smiled, Su Wei immediately had a premonition, and sure enough, the next moment she heard him say, "I won't tell you." ”

The corners of Pang Zhen's eyes twitched twice, why did she talk to a neurotic when she had nothing to do!

"You go first, and then come to me when you're done." Su Wei sent Pang Zhen into the elevator, the elevator door had just closed, he had already come up from behind, the warm breath pressed on her earlobe, he opened his mouth and licked it lightly, contrary to his enthusiastic demeanor, it was his slightly cold voice, "Go to Xu Shen, is it for the sake of the original promise?" 166 Reading Network
