Chapter 134: Eight Years of Waiting
When she hung up the phone, Cheng Cheng had already run downstairs, just sat on the sofa and put on her shoes, and remembered that her wallet was upstairs, so she had to drop the phone, one foot, and jump the stairs again alone.
As for Huo Jingchen's side, after hanging up the phone, he immediately got up, opened the curtains, the sun shone golden, he quickly walked into the bathroom, and the bloodshot under his eyes were clearly reflected in the mirror on the sink.
Although it was close to 11 o'clock at noon when Cheng Cheng called, he was still lying in bed because he talked with the Kong brothers until the early hours of the morning last night.
In fact, he almost had insomnia last night, everyone has a bedtime habit, and his habit before going to bed every night is to play back the bits and pieces of his and her past like a movie, and then ...... will caress the acacia on the chest and fall asleep.
How long did he wait for this call just now?
Eight years!
Eight years!
Thinking that this was the first time in eight years that Cheng Cheng took the initiative to ask him for help, his originally low mood was swept away after hanging up the phone, and even a cheerful look appeared in his eyes.
Twenty minutes later.
When Huo Jingchen's car slowly came, Cheng Cheng was already looking forward to it at the gate of Peach Blossom Spring.
For a moment, his eyes looked at Cheng Cheng outside the car window like a glue - she was wearing pearl white jeans and a royal blue long-sleeved shirt, a small black suit on her jacket, and no backpack...... Before his car could stop, she jumped close to the car and quickly opened the door.
"What's wrong with your feet?" Looking at her jumping on one foot, Huo Jingchen asked nervously.
Cheng Cheng said vaguely while wearing his seat belt, and then quickly reported the address of the safe residence.
After Huo Jingchen started the car, his eyes were still fixed on her feet, and he continued the question she didn't answer, "What's wrong with your feet?" ”
"Don't mention it, I've been so bad lately, nothing went well, I accidentally sprained myself in the dark fragrance teahouse yesterday." Cheng Cheng pouted and sighed, she felt that she had been really declining recently, and everything was not going well.
Huo Jingchen frowned, looked at her sideways, and asked in a gentle tone, "Does it still hurt?" ”
"Fortunately, I used a potion last night and made an ice compress, and it doesn't hurt today, but it's a little sore." After speaking, Cheng Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Remember the last time you took a girl to Plato's restaurant for dinner, right?" I thought about it just now and thought she looked a lot like Anxin's cousin Xiao Meixu. ”
"Sprained feet, big or small, you must not move around at will, you have to recuperate for a few more days before you can go to work." Huo Jingchen answered her question after instructing, "That girl is not like Anxin's cousin, but Anxin's cousin at all." He was relieved that she was paying attention to the opposite sex around him, and it seemed that she was not blind or indifferent to him.
Cheng Cheng listened to his answer, and exhaled as if he was burdened, "No wonder it looks familiar, I feel like it." ”
Huo Jingchen's gaze fell on the corners of her slightly upturned mouth, and her heart drifted slightly, and then noticed her somewhat worried expression, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood what she was worried about, so she smiled gently, "You close your eyes in the car first, and I'll call you when you get there." ”
Cheng Cheng shook his head, "I've slept all morning, I'm still a little sleepy, maybe it has something to do with the weather." ”
Huo Jingchen was not reluctant, his eyes turned back to the front, and he drove the car smoothly for dozens of seconds before he slowly spoke again, "Where was it just now...... Is it Zhou Qiaofangfei's home? Actually, he is also a sure question. A few days ago, the newspaper was full of news, and he remembered it vividly, and the three words "Peach Blossom Spring" jumped out no less than thousands of times.
Cheng Cheng supported her cheeks with one hand, leaned her elbows on the car door, looked at the scenery outside the window and retreated, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she replied with a 'hmm' sound. I don't know why, in response to Huo Jingchen's question, she was a little panicked in her heart, as if she didn't want to mention other men in front of Huo Jingchen - this felt very strange, and she felt uneasy for the first time.
…………
As soon as Zhou Qiaofang Fei walked into the house, Qiao Fangfei greeted him knowingly, "My son is back, is he busy in the morning?" ”
Looking at Ren Xing'er on the sofa in the living room with an uneasy face and her mother with a kind and gentle expression, Zhou Qiaofang did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment.
This short silence made Ren Xing'er's heart beat like a drum.
"I'm short on time, so tell me something." He spoke suddenly.
"Oh, that's it...... I want to cancel the contract," Ren Xing'er lowered her head, unable to see the specific expression, but her tone was full of helplessness-
"I've been in poor health recently, the last time I signed the contract, a little sloppy, and now I find that it doesn't match my image, I didn't want to terminate the contract, I want to adjust the schedule, who knows that my agency and the person in charge of your film and television company have not talked together, I don't know how to talk about the discord to the point of going to court, I'm afraid that my parents will know about it, and I'm afraid that the media will poke this thing out of our family's image, so I want to ask you to help me say hello to the person in charge of your film and television company, to see if this matter can be resolved through negotiation......"
The matter was so simple that it was unexpected, Zhou Qiaofang turned his eyes to his mother, "Mom, don't you let your father make a phone call to solve this trivial matter, as for the phone calls urging me to run alone?" ”
Qiao Fangfei smiled and diverted the topic, "I'm not looking for you all for Xing'er's business, I haven't seen you much in the past few days, and I miss you a little bit." After speaking, she stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Qiao Fangfei's arm, "Come on, come on, sit down for a while, don't stand there and leave after saying a few words." ”
Haven't seen it for a few days? Didn't my mother go to the house for coffee last night? But he didn't want to say these words directly and make his mother lose face, so he reluctantly sat down at his mother's insistence, and then looked down at his watch, the hour hand was already pointing to 11:40, and he immediately stood up.
"I made an appointment at noon, I have to leave quickly, as for the termination of the contract mentioned by Xing'er, OK, I agree to everything, and I will arrange for the person in charge of the film and television company to negotiate the termination with her in the afternoon, so it's okay, right?"
Ren Xing'er was really stunned, the situation was greatly beyond her expectations, and she didn't know how to recover it for a while, so she had to look at Qiao Fangfei for help.
Qiao Fangfei smiled understandingly, "Son, I heard your grandfather say that he arranged a nanny for you to take care of your diet, have you seen it?" ”
Zhou Qiaofang walked out with a "hmm", walked to the door, and turned back to Ren Xing'er, who was almost petrified, to remind - "This role was given to you by Uncle Ren last time when he begged my mother to come to me, you think about it, don't terminate the contract and find a reason to regret it, at that time, don't say that Uncle Ren begged my mother, even begging my grandfather is useless!" ”
