Chapter 45: The Past

"Tranquility?" Wang Jue thought for a moment, "I haven't heard of this name, and you never mentioned it. ”

"Yes, I never mentioned it, this name, only in my heart."

"How did she die?"

"On the surface, it was an accident on the set."

"Actually, isn't it?"

Is there something else going on in this accident? Huo Ziqiu can't be sure now.

He was suspicious at first, because after An Ning's death, Yinghui's reaction was too strange.

Although it is said that it is human nature to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, it is human nature to minimize the company's losses as much as possible.

However, regarding An Ning's death, Yinghui did not give any written documents or official explanations.

This is a very unreasonable thing to do.

But An Ning's fame is not big, and there are few fans, even if some fans are clamoring to explain, they will only be suppressed by Yinghui in two or three days. And An Ning's agent Zhou Yun and father An Dadao actually did not say a word on this matter.

Even if people in the circle feel that something is wrong with this matter, they will not think about asking more questions for someone who is not familiar with them.

Later, Huo Ziqiu quietly went to the set of "Perfect Lover" to see Wang Kefan, and heard two staff members discussing the explosion scene where An Ning died.

"I heard that this scene was originally planned to be made with special effects in the later stage, but later the investor said that the special effects were too fake, so they changed it temporarily."

"Then Anning is really unlucky."

"It's not, you said that such a face-brushing idol drama, what reason is there to dislike the death of the second female number one too fake."

"Alas, An Ning is dead, and the person who replaced her can pick up a bargain. After this incident, this explosion scene has been deleted. ”

……

Huo Ziqiu turned to Wang Jue and said, "The investor of "Perfect Lover" is a company in Shanxi, and I have already checked it. They said that there was no request for this explosion scene at all. ”

Xiao Qing showed a surprised expression: "So, there must be something wrong with this?" ”

Huo Ziqiu nodded: "The entertainment industry says that it is not big, and it is not small, but the water in it is not shallow." I'm an insider, and it's really difficult to continue investigating this matter quietly. That's why I want my cousin to help me check. ”

Wang Jue didn't think long before agreeing: "Don't check this matter, leave it to me." However," Wang Jue looked at Huo Ziqiu thoughtfully: "When did you and this An Ning meet?" ”

Huo Ziqiu smiled, this smile was like a warm lamp, illuminating his originally pale and haggard face with vitality. At this moment, Huo Ziqiu suddenly faded away from the melancholy image since his debut, but instead looked like a gentle teenager immersed in love.

"That was many years ago," Huo Ziqiu said slowly...... "It happened when I returned to China when I was eighteen years old. ”

Huo Ziqiu's mother, the former pearl of the Wang family. Because of his ignorance and stupidity, he finally went to destruction step by step.

Before dying, she took Huo Ziqiu's hand, knelt at the door of the Wang family to confess, and begged the old man of the Wang family to take in her child.

In this way, Huo Ziqiu's childhood and youth were spent in the Wang family.

Wang Jue's father and grandfather have complicated feelings for Huo Ziqiu, on the one hand, they have feelings of guilt for their daughter and little sister; On the other hand, hating his existence is a stain on the Wang family.

And Huo Ziqiu himself, because of what he has experienced since childhood, has a taciturn personality, does not like to communicate with others, and always likes to be alone in his room and read books sullenly.

Therefore, for everyone in the Wang family, Huo Ziqiu is not close.

When he was seventeen years old, Huo Ziqiu got the opportunity to study abroad because of his excellent performance. It was in college that he met a group of friends, including Gao Huan.

"Eighteen?" Wang Jue touched his chin and thought, "It's that year." ”

Xiao Qing asked curiously, "That year?" Could it be that what happened to Ziqiu when he was eighteen years old? ”

Wang Jue replied: "You don't know, this kid has been smart since he was a child, and he was admitted to a well-known university at the age of seventeen. Since I went abroad, I was like a kite with a broken string, neither calling home, nor coming back from vacation, nor asking my family for living expenses. ”

He laughed as he thought about it: "But in the summer when he was eighteen years old, he suddenly appeared at the door of the house. The clothes on his body were tattered and dirty, as if he was a beggar disciple. ”

"Beggar Gang Disciple? He? Xiao Qing glanced at Huo Ziqiu with a strange expression.

In the past few years that she and Huo Ziqiu have known each other, although they have not met many times, they also know that Huo Ziqiu is a well-known cleanliness patient, and she is especially particular about her clothes.

Xiao Qing really couldn't imagine what Huo Ziqiu looked like in a tattered and dirty beggar outfit.

Wang Jue smiled and shook his head: "No matter how we asked him at that time, he refused to tell what happened. Later, he had a long talk with his grandfather and my father in the study, and after he came out, he announced that he was going to take a leave of absence from school and enter the showbiz. ”

"Take a leave of absence?" Xiao Qing raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"Yes, as you know, our family has been in business for three generations. Grandpa attaches great importance to the education of our juniors, and he is afraid that others will treat the Wang family as an upstart. Wang Jue said: "Huo Ziqiu is the smartest child in our family, and he is also the most promising one. To be honest, I still don't know how he convinced my dad and my grandpa. ”

"Actually, I didn't say anything," Huo Ziqiu said, "I just told my grandfather and uncle what I thought, and they quickly understood." ”

"I understand it very quickly", this sentence Wang Jue can't understand. The old man of the Wang family has never been a gentle elder, and his personality is even a little stubborn and awkward, if he can "quickly understand" Huo Ziqiu's thoughts, it will really be the sun coming out in the west.

Xiao Qing asked anxiously: "So, you met An Ning when you were eighteen years old?" ”

"Yes, eighteen."

Huo Ziqiu didn't know how other people lived their eighteen-year-olds, but his eighteen-year-old was full of confusion and fear.

Although he had excellent grades and performed well, and was highly regarded by his mentors, he had no idea what he wanted to do in the future.

Because of his mother's relationship, he has a natural resistance to the entertainment industry. But after entering the university, I met Gao Huan and others, and by chance I entered the film club.

Huo Ziqiu found that he was becoming more and more unable to resist the attraction of acting.

It was in such emotions that he quietly returned to the country alone.

He did not go back to Wang's house, but went to the film and television base and mixed in a bunch of extras.

It was here that he met An Ning, the girl who had an important influence on his life.
