Chapter Fifty-Six: Drama
"She went abroad to study at the age of 17 and never came back, and she had almost no contact with her family.
Seeing that Ji Xincheng still had doubts, Gu Shaoze said again:
"My sister has a very good personality, don't worry about getting along with her, she shouldn't leave again when she comes back this time, and when she is free, I'll take you to see her."
Ji Xincheng was sincerely pleased with the man's meticulous comfort.
She knew that she was actually more worried about Gu Shaoze's parents, but she also knew that worrying was the most useless, taking one step at a time, Ji Xincheng thought so in her heart.
When the two arrived home, they washed up and cleaned up late at night.
On this day, after a good meal from morning to night, Ji Xincheng rubbed his calves and couldn't help complaining: "It's more tiring than filming!" β
Gu Shaoze was wearing a bathrobe, his hair was still wet, he hugged the person into his arms and asked her when the filming of the new drama would start.
"It's not clear, but there is a dinner party tomorrow, Si Qian invited, asked to bring his family as much as possible, do you want to go?"
Ji Xincheng took his mobile phone to read the group news, and asked the man behind him casually with his side head.
"Do you want me to go?"
He groaned ill-intentionedly, buried his face in her neck, sniffing the fresh and sweet scent of her long hair, and the delicate woody scent of the shower gel on her body.
"Forget it, it's the same as last time, you two will do it again for such childish behavior, I won't have the face to lose again!"
"Ji Xincheng, are you saying that your husband has embarrassed you? Well? β
His rising tail note was accompanied by a thick snort, which was an endless bewitchment for Ji Xincheng.
She put down her phone, touched his still dripping hair, grabbed the hair dryer, and got up to blow it for him.
Gu Shaoze was very satisfied with her initiative, closed his eyes and hugged Ji Xincheng's waist, his face rested on her stomach, and his hand slowly stroked her lower back. Stroking and caressing, Ji Xincheng always thought that he would make further moves, but Gu Shaoze didn't know what to think, and suddenly lost interest, and took off Ji Xincheng's hand on his head:
"Okay, go to sleep, I still have some things to take care of, don't wait for me."
As he spoke, he got up and walked in the direction of the study.
Ji Xincheng was stunned for a long time before he reacted and turned off the hair dryer.
When I lowered my head, my eyes fell on my flat lower abdomen, and my heart was a little empty.
Thinking of Gu Shaoze's naturalness when he said that he didn't want children, Ji Xincheng suddenly felt a little cold, and was silent for a moment before turning off the light and going to bed.
At night, Ji Xincheng had a dream, dreaming that her child with Gu Shaoze was born, but Gu Shaoze didn't like it and forced her to send the child away, she was sad and begged him, Gu Shaoze didn't say anything about it, and finally Ji Xincheng jumped into the sea with the child......
Awakened by the heart-devouring pain, Ji Xincheng felt cold from his back to his toes, and he was still a little shivering.
There was morning light outside the window, and Gu Shaoze lay beside her and fell asleep quietly.
Ji Xincheng calmed down, reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table, touched the touch of the bedside lamp, and the moment the light was turned on, Gu Shaoze woke up sensitively.
The clock went to a quarter past five.
Ji Xincheng hurriedly turned off the lights and said apologetically: "Woke you up?" It's still early, so let's go to bed. β
Gu Shaoze's opened eyes closed again, hugged the person in his arms tighter, and asked:
"Dreaming?"
Ji Xincheng was a little surprised, he could know this, and wanted him to continue to sleep for a while, so he didn't want to tell him more.
Just muffled and responded: "No." β
About a minute or so later, just when Ji Xincheng cautiously withdrew from Gu Shaoze's arms, thinking that he was back asleep, he saw the man with his eyes open and looking at her silently.
This surprise is not trivial, Ji Xincheng almost lost his voice, and his tone was dissatisfied:
"What are you doing!"
ββ¦β¦ I heard you talk in your dreams, please come, am I bullying you in my dreams? β
Ji Xincheng looked at the man's face steadily, he had just woken up from his deep sleep, his eyes were not very clear, and he enveloped her with a hazy feeling, which made Ji Xincheng feel a little difficult to breathe.
"Did I guess right?" He took his time to conclusions.
Touching the top of her hair, her eyes were filled with pity, and her face gradually approached hers, Wen Cun murmured: "If that's the case, I apologize to you, okay?" β
Ji Xincheng was so disturbed by this dream that his mind was so turbulent that his eyes were red, and he couldn't push him away, so he waved a limited fist on his bare chest.
"What are you guessing? Early in the morning! Now I want to get some sleep, and you're messed up! β
"Can't sleep? That's right, let's do something else......"
The man turned sideways slightly, and put Ji Xincheng in the crook of his arm, and before she could make a move, he had already surrounded her with his hands.
Two hours later, the daily alarm clock rang and rang, and the man finally got up satisfied, refreshed after washing, dressed neatly and came to the bedside, leaned over and smiled at Ji Xincheng and said:
"This is the price of lying, and if Mrs. Gu likes it, I will be happy to accompany it."
Ji Xincheng buried his head under the pillow, full of anger, but he didn't even have the strength to scold him, so he could only stare at him with dry eyes.
The man chuckled under his voice and gave Ji Xincheng a kiss on his eyelashes before getting up and leaving the room.
"I'm going to go to the next city today, and if it's late, I might come back tomorrow."
Was he explaining the itinerary to her? Ji Xincheng thought a little distractedly, and soon, she fell asleep again, but fortunately she didn't have strange dreams this time.
It was dusk when he woke up, and Ji Xincheng heard a sound in his stomach, only to know that he was woken up by hunger.
There was a lot to eat in the kitchen, but in the end I only drank a glass of milk and went to wash up.
Due to the abundant time, Ji Xincheng arrived at the restaurant where the dinner was held early, and three or two staff members with their families were already seated at the table.
After Ji Xincheng drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea, the assistant hurried over.
"Sister, you're early today!"
In their impression, Ji Xincheng is always late.
and the assistant came to the front and back, as well as the agent Zhou Yan and her lover, after everyone introduced the greetings, the surrounding voices gradually became noisy.
Listening to Zhou Yan's explanation, it turned out that in Si Gan's company, all the films he invested or produced would have such a dinner party before the start of filming, not only to say hello to each other among working partners, but also to their respective families, this habit has been maintained for many years, and it is Si Gan's uniqueness, so it has won unanimous praise from many employees' families.
"Come on, Mr. Si and his fiancΓ©e!"
A colleague's voice was a little excited, slightly raised to remind everyone.
Ji Xincheng's eyes followed the crowd to the entrance of the lobby, today's Shang Xuan was wearing a navy blue tight knitted skirt, with a group of ruffles woven from the same color fabric on the shoulder neckline, which was simple and atmospheric, which was very eye-catching.
Si Qian was already handsome, even if he wore ordinary clothes, he looked extraordinary, not to mention that tonight he was wearing a finely cut plaid suit, which added a bit of lightness to his accustomed solemn eyebrows.
With Shang Xuan's dress of the same color, the two walked into the hall side by side, as if they should be so connected in one place, which couldn't help but sigh, it was really made in heaven.
"Wow! Mr. Si is really more handsome in a floral suit! β
"I envy his fiancΓ©e, if I can stand next to Mr. Si like this, I will die without regrets......"
"Look at it, the look in the eyes of the general manager of our business, it's amazing!"
"You are always happy......"
On a table closer to Ji Xincheng, sure enough, there were all young girls from the company, about all of them were single, and the girls were all talking to each other, and between the words, they were all envious of Shang Xuan.
Ji Xincheng unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, as if others were praising Shang Xuan, and she was also a little proud.
Shang Xuan at night, the oblique bangs were burned, and while covering up the scar, the entire facial contour was also much brighter, if there was no scar, Shang Xuan would have exposed her whole face, it would definitely look better.
Thinking of this, Ji Xincheng was a little gloomy.
The agency director asked Ji Xincheng to sit at the main table, and Ji Xincheng glanced at the direction of the main table, where were the directors and assistant directors, producers, male and female protagonists, and some senior actors who played other roles in the group, plus the company's senior management, were almost full.
He said to the director: "I'm just sitting here, with my colleagues in our group, and there are just some things we have to communicate!" β
Seeing that she didn't have any special emotions, the director smiled and nodded, and didn't insist anymore.
Before the opening of the meeting, Si Qian made a simple speech, mainly to inform everyone, the time and place of the filming, firstly, let the staff know in their hearts, and secondly, let the family rest assured, as if it was an explanation.
Ji Xincheng observed that after Si Qian took over the family business, the reason for the strong cohesion of employees was here.
The dishes on the table were very attentive, except for the beginning, Zhou Yan pulled Ji Xincheng to toast a round of wine, and then she sat in her position and ate very seriously, she hadn't eaten for a day, and her appetite was naturally not bad at this time.
"My Cheng, are you really here to eat?"
Zhou Yan looked at Ji Xincheng like this and sighed.
She gave Ji Xincheng a look, "That is the screenwriter, do you want to go over and say hello?" β
"Didn't you just toast?" Ji Xincheng didn't want to be troubled.
"Although the script is finalized, I can't guarantee that I will make adjustments one day, and it will not hurt you to have a good relationship with the screenwriter."
Ji Xincheng couldn't compete with Zhou Yan, but he thought that the other party was also for his own good, so he said that he wanted to go to the bathroom and talk about it when he came back.
After leaving the plum blossom hall contracted by the company, he did not go directly to the bathroom, but sat down in the rest area next to the bathroom.
The lounge area has an all-glass wall, across the large lawn in front of the hotel, you can see the road without constant traffic, and it is well ventilated, and it is more for men who smoke.
There is no one here at the moment, and there are two girls taking pictures on the couch not far from Ji Xincheng.
She sent a message to Tang Tang, Tang Tang replied quickly, and the two chatted casually about what they were doing, and Ji Xincheng took this opportunity to pass the time.
Occasionally hearing the two girls next door seem to mention Shang Xuan, Ji Xincheng pricked up his ears and listened:
ββ¦β¦ Don't you see that scar? Plastic surgery failed bar......"
"I originally said that she is so ugly, how can she be worthy of our boss, everyone see, it is only a matter of time before they are separated! It is said that their engagement family did not agree, and they didn't know if the marriage would be consummated! β
"Maybe the conditions at home are good, forcing the general manager to ...... Anyway, I don't think Mr. Si is sincere, how could he marry such an ugly woman if he wasn't forced! With a straight face all day long, as if everyone owes her......"
"Who do you say?"
Ji Xincheng's sudden addition made both girls startled.
One of them recognized Ji Xincheng, and his face changed, "Teacher Ji, we just heard what others said!" β
"If I'm not mistaken, you're from the legal department, right? Fabricating and disseminating fictitious facts and slandering the reputation of others can sue you for slander, isn't that so? β
The girl who was questioned turned pale and lowered her head, the other one was obviously not from their company, and immediately pulled the girl away, turned around and glanced at Ji Xincheng with disdain: "It seems that you are innocent!" β
Ji Xin was angry, but he just watched them leave quickly.
"There's no one else here, you don't need to show anyone to show!"
A cool male voice came into his ears, Ji Xincheng turned around, and saw Si Qian's hands in his pockets, standing in the shadows with a calm face, thinking about the scene just now, he saw it.
Ji Xincheng had no intention of arguing, glanced at him, and turned to leave.
Si Qian took a step across and stopped her.
"Let's talk about the accident back then, what happened?"
He spoke to Ji Xincheng, but his eyes fell elsewhere with mockery.
Ji Xincheng knew that he looked down on himself very much, so he quieted down and said:
"What did she tell you?"
"She said you hurt her!"
Si Qian raised his head expressionlessly, and his gaze stabbed into Ji Xincheng's eyes like a sword.
For a moment, Ji Xincheng thought that she couldn't hear any sounds around her, but soon her hearing seemed to be restored, she smiled bitterly, met her boss's gaze, glanced at her faintly, and then skipped him and left the rest area.
She didn't want to explain, unless it would make her feel less guilty......
was already some distance away from Si Gan, and suddenly a familiar face ran from Changkuo, and said to Si Gan in a panic:
"Mr. Si, Mr. Shang suddenly fainted, we have called an ambulance, you go over and take a look!"
That was Si Gan's assistant, Ji Xincheng's heart sank, he didn't think much about it, followed Si Gan's footsteps, and ran towards the Plum Blossom Hall.
