Chapter 111: Cheng Jiang's Birthday
An An eight- or nine-year-old girl has a birthday, what kind of gift should she choose, An Ning doesn't know much.
Early the next morning, An Ning pulled Meng Anping out of the quilt and asked curiously, "What do the little girls in your class like?" ”
Meng Anping's face was clouded, since the winter vacation, he hadn't been pulled out of the quilt so early.
Rubbing his eyes, Meng Anping seemed to have just seen who the person in front of him was, and opened his mouth wide: "Sister, I don't know why you came back or when you came back." ”
"I CAME BACK LAST NIGHT, I WAS GOING TO ATTEND AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRL'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, AND I WAS GOING TO CHOOSE A GIFT IN THE MORNING, SO YOU CAN HELP ME WITH MY STAFF OFFICER."
Meng Anping grimaced: "Sister, I'm a boy, how can I know what the little girl likes?" ”
"Just recall, what do the girls in your class usually like?"
Meng Anping propped his chin and thought about it, then rolled his eyes and said, "Wang Kefan's signed photo, they must like this." ”
Wang Kefan's signed photo? This has to be replaced in the previous life, An Ning can get more than a dozen casually, but now, she and Wang Kefan are simply unknown.
She sighed: "If it's Huo Ziqiu's signed photo, I can get two more." ”
When the younger brother of the Meng family heard this, his eyes lit up, "Really? ”
An Ning pushed his forehead back, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, when I finish it, I will definitely bring back a box of Huo Ziqiu's signed photos back to you." She shook her head: "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy Huo Ziqiu gave you." ”
In the end, An Ning still chose a decent Barbie doll suit in the mall. Then he called a special car to Cheng Jiang's house.
Cheng Jiang's home An Ning has never been to, she only has an address, which was sent to her mobile phone by Cheng Jiang's mother.
The master who drove the car chatted with An Ning, and when he heard that she was going to a friend's house, he sighed and said: "This is a high-end community, and the people who live in it are all rich or noble, and your friend is not small." ”
An Ning smiled and didn't speak.
What is Cheng Jiang's family background, An Ning is really unclear.
But thinking of Cheng Jiang's mother's cautious and cautious attitude, maybe it's really a rich family.
"Here we are."
The driver parked the car at the entrance of the "Zizhu Garden". Pointing to the community door on the right, he said to An Ning, "This is it." This neighborhood doesn't allow outside cars to enter. ”
So An Ning paid the money and got out of the car at the gate of the community.
When she went in, she was carefully interrogated by the security guard, asking her what building she was going to and registering. I let her in.
Just walked a few steps. Two horns rang behind him. An Ning turned his head to see that a low-key white Audi behind him was slowly driving forward.
The rear window was slowly rolled down, revealing a face that was very familiar to An Ning.
"Huo Ziqiu?"
Huo Ziqiu was obviously as surprised as An Ning: "Why are you here?" ”
An Ning raised the bag in his hand: "I'm here to attend a friend's birthday party." ”
Huo Ziqiu's expression was a little strange: "Friend? This friend can't be a nine-year-old girl. ”
An Ning also asked suspiciously, "Should you also come to the birthday party?" ”
Now An Ning believes that the Cheng Jiang family really has a bit of a background. Otherwise, how could you casually invite Huo Ziqiu?
YOU MUST KNOW THAT IN A LIVELY PLACE LIKE A BIRTHDAY PARTY, HUO ZIQIU HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO AVOID IT.
Since the two had the same destination, An Ning was not polite, got into the car, and sat next to Huo Ziqiu.
"Just now the chauffeur said that this community doesn't let outside cars in, so why did the security guard let you go? It won't be a face-brushing thing. ”
Huo Ziqiu glanced at An Ning with the eyes of a scholar looking at a scumbag, and then said lightly: "My car is not an outside car, I am a resident here." ”
"Huh? Do you also have a house here? I thought your house was a mid-level villa......" An Ning blurted out first, and then immediately realized that he was making a fuss, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
In her previous life, she was a second- or third-tier star, and she bought a house of 200 square meters, not to mention that Huo Ziqiu was much richer than herself, and it was normal to buy a few more houses.
"Who invited you to the birthday party?" Huo Ziqiu was still more interested in the reason for Anning's arrival.
"It's Cheng Jiang, I don't know why when I was filming "Festive" at that time, she especially likes to stick to me, and she called me on New Year's Day to ask me not to forget her birthday." An Ning explained: "By the way, you weren't there when Cheng Jiang joined the group, how could you be invited?" ”
Huo Ziqiu seemed to be a little crying and laughing: "It was Cheng Jiang's grandfather who invited me here." ”
"Cheng Jiang's grandfather? Who is it? ”
Huo Ziqiu paused for a moment and lowered his voice: "Dong Yan." ”
An Ning suddenly couldn't accept it: "Who?" Dong Yan? Director Dong Yan? ”
Huo Ziqiu nodded: "That's right, it's the great director Dong Yan, what you think of is that Dong Yan." ”
――――
Until he got out of the car, Huo Ziqiu rang the doorbell, and An Ning was still in a state of fluttering and unreal.
He actually walked into Director Dong Yan's home so generously? You know, this is a place where many people in the circle want to come to it.
An Ning felt as if she had won a million-dollar jackpot with a two-dollar ticket.
"Sister An Ning, you're here."
As soon as she walked in, Cheng Jiang rushed over like a little rabbit, plunged into An Ning's arms, hugged her waist and shouted affectionately.
She was already cute, but today she wore a sky-blue puffy skirt and a special headdress, and she smiled like a little angel, and her smile made people's hearts melt.
An Ning reached out and hugged her, and handed her the bag in his hand: "I am a year older, I only left the group yesterday, I was in a hurry, and I didn't choose any special gifts, this is for you, I wish you more and more beautiful." ”
Cheng Jiang happily took the bag and thanked him. then pouted and corrected An Ning: "Sister An Ning, you have to wish me better and better acting skills, more and more popular, beautiful and can't be eaten." ”
An Ning was speechless for a while: "You're right, it's really useless to be beautiful." Then I wish you a beautiful and powerful person in the future. ”
Cheng Jiang pretended to be old and nodded: "Borrow your auspicious words, I will work hard." ”
Huo Ziqiu touched Cheng Jiang's head next to him and teased: "I'm young, but my ambition is quite big." ”
Cheng Jiang raised his neck and said to Huo Ziqiu: "Uncle Huo, you won't come empty-handed, right?" What about my gifts. ”
An Ning looked at Huo Ziqiu from top to bottom. Seeing that he was indeed empty-handed, it seemed that he really didn't bring anything.
Huo Ziqiu smiled: "Why don't I bring you a gift, you see, what is this?" ”
He said as he pulled two cards out of his coat pocket. An Ning stretched out his head to look. Dumbfounding. It is really two signed photos of Wang Kefan.
Cheng Jiang Nunu nosed, and pushed Huo Ziqiu's hand away with disgust: "What's so rare about this, I don't want it." ”
Huo Ziqiu raised his eyebrows: "You didn't like Wang Kefan very much last year." Do you clamoring for his autographed photo every day? ”
"Last year was last year, and this year I've grown up, and now I don't like beautiful men anymore." Cheng Jiang nodded very seriously.
Huo Ziqiu looked at the two autographed photos in his hand that were rejected by Cheng Jiang and were a little lonely, and sighed: "Did he lose fans of your age so soon?" ”
I don't know if it's an illusion of tranquility, she always feels that this sentence has a bit of schadenfreude.
The three of them were talking at the entrance of the door, and Cheng Jiang's mother walked down the stairs and greeted with a smile: "An Ning is here, Ziqiu is also here." I heard that you were filming in a crew, did you come together? ”
She seemed to ask casually, but there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
As Dong Yan's granddaughter, Cheng Jiang must often meet people in the circle who try to contact Dong Yan through her and seek a role for herself. In addition, Cheng Jiang is young and immature in thinking, so her mother will naturally be more vigilant in order to protect Cheng Jiang.
If I didn't leave my mobile phone number to An Ning before, I'm afraid that An Ning would hit the snake with the stick, and he would do something crooked by falling in love with Cheng Jiang.
Huo Ziqiu replied very plainly: "I met at the gate of the community, I didn't know that she was also invited by Director Dong, and after asking, I found out that it was invited by Xiao Shouxing himself." He said that he looked down at Cheng Jiang, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The last time I filmed "Celebration", my role was just staggered with Cheng Jiang, and I didn't even meet each other, I didn't know that she found a new friend in a few days and forgot about me. ”
Cheng Jiang's mother heard Huo Ziqiu's joking words and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Cheng Jiang and An Ning to be so compatible, it's really fate." Don't stand, go up quickly, everyone is almost there, just waiting for you. ”
Huo Ziqiu followed Cheng Jiang's mother upstairs, and An Ning was dragged by Cheng Jiang and left behind.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Jiang's face was full of unhappiness, and he said softly to An Ning: "Today is my birthday, and my grandfather invited a lot of people to come, but few of them really came to celebrate my birthday." Sister An Ning, you will go up later, if someone embarrasses you, don't be afraid, I will protect you, you are the guest I invited. ”
An Ning helped her tidy up her bangs and said with a smile: "I understand, you are a little birthday star today, don't be sad, be happy." You know, you can't live up to your ninth birthday once in your life. ”
Cheng Jiang nodded, took An Ning's hand and went upstairs.
――――
The small villa of Cheng Jiang's family has three floors, and the second floor is particularly spacious, as if it was specially built for a party. Now it is decorated in a colorful way, which is very festive.
ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT A FORMAL BANQUET, ALTHOUGH IT WAS ONLY THE BIRTHDAY OF A NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRL, WHEN AN ANN WENT UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR, IT WAS NOT SURPRISING TO FIND THAT THIS SMALL PARTY HAD ALMOST ALARMED MOST OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.
It's no wonder that Dong Yan is one of the best directors in the film industry, and his works have won all the awards that can be won in China, and he has won several international awards. His film, if a new person is enabled, this new person will be popular; If you find an old man in the circle to act, this person's acting career will inevitably go to the next level.
helped Huo Ziqiu get the double actor in the film "Far Distance", which was Dong Yan's handiwork.
Therefore, it can be said that no matter how big-name the actor in the circle is, he has to rush to shoot Dong Yan's sycophant.
Looking at the past, An Ning can count at least five or six movie cafes of the same level as Huo Ziqiu, and many big names in the hosting industry and variety show industry are also present.
HOWEVER, THESE PEOPLE REALLY DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE HERE FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY, BUT LIKE A BUSINESS MEETING, GETTING TOGETHER IN TWOS AND THREES, HOLDING WINE GLASSES IN THEIR HANDS, TALKING AND SMILING AS IF NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND, AND THEY DON'T CARE WHETHER THE REAL BIRTHDAY STAR IS THERE OR NOT.
Cheng Jiang shook An Ning's hand and pointed to a corner: "That's my grandfather, I'll take you to get to know it." ”
An Ning looked in the direction of her finger, Dong Yan had his back to him, talking to Huo Ziqiu.
"Forget it," An Ning grabbed Cheng Jiang, who was about to move forward, and shook his head: "Today is not your grandfather's birthday, I am here to congratulate you, of course you first." I see that your grandfather is busy now, and he may not have time to talk to me, so let's talk about it when I have a chance. ”
Cheng Jiang was puzzled: "Really not going?" That's a great thing, after this village there won't be this shop. ”
An Ning smiled: "Why, people often ask you to introduce you to your grandfather?" ”
Cheng Jiang sighed like a little adult: "It's a lot, but I won't agree, my mother said, those people are not good." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'm uneasy and kind?"
"Don't be afraid," Cheng Jiang immediately nodded firmly: "I don't feel like you're such a person." Uncle Huo said to trust your instincts. ”
An Ning asked curiously, "I really want to ask, why do you like me so much?" We've only been on the set for a few days. ”
Cheng Jiang pursed his lips and didn't speak, and a sad expression appeared on his little face.
Seeing this, An Ning immediately wanted to change the topic, but it didn't work.
Cheng Jiang whispered into An Ning's ear, "You are like a mother." ”
"Mom?"
"Well, before Dad left, Mom was the same as you, she was very sincere and warm when she smiled at me." The more she spoke, the quieter she became: "But after Dad left, Mom became a fake." ”
Cheng Jiang's mother, Dong Yan's daughter, is not an insider. She graduated from Stanford and was originally prepared to stay in the United States to develop.
Later, I came back by chance and met Cheng Jiang's father on the set, and it was love at first sight, and he gave up the opportunity to continue his studies in the United States for him.
But like all vulgar episodes, this man is with her just to get the opportunity to star in blockbuster movies.
Dong Yan is picky about people, even if he is his son-in-law, he will not release water easily.
When Cheng Jiang was five years old, this man saw that he had not come out for a long time, so he simply showed his true colors, abandoned his wife and daughter and ran away.
She didn't know about this past peace, but she knew very well the feeling of growing up in a single-parent family, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for the little girl in front of her.
As a little girl who has just turned nine years old, Cheng Jiang understands that there are many more than her peers, and she doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. (To be continued.) )
