Chapter 716: Overcoming Rigidity with Softness
The sound of the rain and wind is getting louder and louder, and even indoors it seems to be audible very clearly.
The sky was dark and dreary, and there was no edge in sight.
Xia Wan stared at the mysterious text message on the screen, and her mood was not affected by the wind and rain outside, or even by the text message.
Fingertips swiped across the screen, and she smiled suddenly.
Can't wait?
There was no warmth in the smile in her eyes, she directly called Xiao An, who had been almost inseparable by her side, and then handed her the mobile phone: "This number, check it." ”
She had actually guessed who it was, after all, there were only a few things happening now, and the people behind them could be said to be not in the dark for a long time, but she still wanted clear evidence.
There are some things that she can tolerate with a blind eye, but if she wants to provoke her bottom line, then she will not be soft.
"I'll do it as soon as possible." Xiao An took the phone and nodded, and then walked to a place where there were fewer people.
Xia Wan stood up and looked at the rain outside through the glass.
"Xia Dao." The assistant director hurried over at this time.
Just listening to his voice, Xia Wan felt that something should have happened.
Sure enough.
"Originally, we were going to another shooting location in two days, and everything was arranged, but just now a phone call came from there, saying that the time was going to be delayed, I thought it was very strange, it seemed that there was something hidden from there." The assistant director said with a frown.
In fact, in the past, whether it was filming, television or advertising, this situation has not happened, but this time, he just felt unspeakably strange, especially the attitude of the person over there, which was very subtle.
The most annoying thing is that I can't find anything useful yet.
That's why he thought it was strange.
After thinking about it, he said again: "It's better to wait for the rain to stop, I'll go over there in person, and ...... over there."
"No need."
"What?"
Xia Wan turned around, shook her head slightly, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth seemed to be a little smiling: "I can't change it if I go, just wait for the time being." ”
If she guessed correctly, she should be waiting for her to "come forward".
Then wait and see who has the better patience.
The assistant director was a little unsure and wanted to say something, but when he saw Xia Wan's expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Forget it, I believe Director Xia is right, the movie can't go wrong, after all, the biggest investor in the movie today is Director Xia's husband Huo Shao, Huo ......
The deputy director's heart jumped.
Huo Shao?
"What's wrong? Anything else? Sensing that the deputy director wanted to speak again, Xia Wan asked casually.
The assistant director looked at her and somehow blurted out: "This morning's news...... Director Xia, are you okay with Huo Shao? ”
When the words fell, he was annoyed, after all, this is someone else's privacy, no matter how curious he is, he shouldn't ask like this.
"I'm sorry, Director Xia, I ......"
"You think we look like we're in trouble?" Xia Wan smiled, not caring at all.
Her eyes were very clear, and the deputy director looked at it and understood.
Although Huo Shao's gossip was also circulated on the set this morning, in fact, most of the staff believed Huo Shao and thought it was nonsense, maybe it was Cheng Yu who directed and acted himself.
He was too embarrassed to speak again.
Xia Wan didn't say anything, her eyes swept out of the window again, and after thinking about it, she said: "It seems that this rain will not stop for a while and a half, and it will be a waste of everyone's time to wait like this, so let's call it a day today, go back to rest early, and be a little earlier tomorrow." ”
The deputy director agreed: "It's okay, then I'll inform you." ”
"I'm sorry for you."
"Director Xia, what are you polite?" The assistant director waved his hand, turned around with a smile and walked to the place where the crowd sheltered from the rain not far away.
Xia Wan was about to turn around, and his eyes unexpectedly collided with Jin Lin.
Far away, she couldn't see his expression clearly, only to see him nodding at herself.
Xia Wan raised his lips, bowed his head in the same way, and then withdrew his gaze.
But she didn't know that Jin Lin had been watching her for a long time.
After standing for a while, Xia Wan decided to pack her things and go home.
"Xia Dao." Xiao Ann is back.
Xia Wan raised her eyebrows: "So fast? ”
Xiao An smiled a little embarrassedly: "Not yet, it will take about half an hour, your mobile phone rang, and your father called." ”
Father?
Xia Wan took the phone, and it happened that Xia Zhengtao's phone came back at this time.
"Late ......"
More than fifty minutes later.
A car stopped in front of a tea room.
"Director Xia, I'll go in with you." Xiao An said as he unbuckled his seat belt.
Xia Wan stopped her: "No, you just wait for me in the car, if you are hungry, go to the neighborhood to find something to eat first, I will call you if there is something, don't worry." ”
She could probably guess why Xia Zhengtao was looking for her, so she didn't have to worry about safety or anything.
Xiao An also thought of this, so he didn't insist anymore, but just repeated: "Then Director Xia, you have something to call me." ”
"Okay."
After Xia Wan finished speaking, she pushed open the car door.
There was already a waiter waiting in front of the tearoom, and when he saw her coming, he greeted her and said, "Miss Xia?" Mr. Xia is waiting for you in the box, please come with me. ”
Xia Wan nodded.
This tea room is in the garden style, and the two of them walked through the corridor and through the cobblestone path before arriving at the box where Xia Zhengtao was.
"Thank you." Xia Wan thanked him politely, and then pushed the door open, "Dad......"
The words came to an abrupt end.
In the box, there was not only Xia Zhengtao alone, but also an old man who looked very old but was still in good spirits.
The atmosphere is not very good, and it can even be said to be very depressing.
"Wanwan ......" Xia Zhengtao stood up with a pale face, looked at her and stopped, finally held her hand and patted it, and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, Dad will carry it for you." ”
Warmth flowed in the bottom of my heart, and I was moved by the summer evening, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, Dad, don't worry." ”
She could see that this old man was not called by Xia Zhengtao, he should have appeared suddenly, and before she came, he should have said something to Xia Zhengtao, so the air pressure in the box would be very low.
Xia Zhengtao is still worried: "...... late"
Xia Wan shook his head and simply pulled him to sit down in a chair.
It just so happened that she was sitting opposite the old man.
Even if she didn't raise her eyes, she could still clearly feel the old man's inquiring gaze falling on her.
Majestic, sharp.
Xia Wan didn't care about it, nor did she look at him, but her eyes fell on a set of tea-making tools on the coffee table.
The corners of her lips hooked slightly, overflowing with a faint smile, she reached out and took the tea set and put it in front of her.
Xia Zhengtao on the side was worried and annoyed, and couldn't understand her movements: "Wanwan, you ......"
"Aren't you here for tea, let's make a good cup of tea first." Xia Wan interrupted him with a smile.
Xia Zhengtao wanted to say something, but when he touched her confident and indifferent eyes, he swallowed it back.
The summer evening is like no one else in the box, and he is busy with his own actions.
Warm the cup, wake up the tea, and make tea.
Soon, the aroma of tea overflowed.
Only then did Xia Wan raise his head to meet the old man's gaze, and then leaned over and handed the brewed tea to him with both hands.
"Tea, please." She was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and detached.
When the words fell, she didn't look at him much, and took another cup of tea and put it in front of Xia Zhengtao.
In the end, it's her own.
Xia Zhengtao knew that she had always had an idea, and after experiencing such a thing, she was not as impulsive as before, thinking like this, he forcibly suppressed the sullenness in his chest, picked up the teacup and drank it.
Seeing this in the summer evening, Ying Ying smiled: "Is it delicious?" ”
"It's delicious." Xia Zhengtao nodded with satisfaction.
As long as it was given to him by his daughter, even if it was plain water, it was sweet.
Receiving his affirmative answer, Xia Wan smiled, her eyes clear.
Picking up her teacup, she savored it.
Good tea indeed.
She thought so, and after putting down the teacup, she filled it for herself, followed by Xia Zhengtao, and when it was the turn of the old man, she found that the tea in his cup had not been moved.
The summer evening was not unexpected.
Quietly hooking her lips, she sat back in her original position.
This time, the two finally looked at each other.
The atmosphere seemed to change again, and the air pressure was lower, and the whole box seemed to be shrouded in a chill.
Xia Wan smiled, glanced at his teacup with both eyes, and asked in the tone of the host, "Old gentleman, don't you drink tea?" Not to your taste? Do you need to get another tea for you? ”
The old man's eyebrows moved, and his lips, which were almost pursed into a line, betrayed his displeasure.
Summer evening saw it.
With a chuckle, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the other two plates on the table: "This is the signature dim sum of this tea room, which belongs to the health series, and it is best to drink with tea, why don't you try it?" ”
As she spoke, she always had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she did not shy away from looking at the old man.
The air around me seemed to be stagnant, and it was very strange.
The old man looked at the summer evening and finally opened his mouth: "Why do you make me tea?" ”
His voice was majestic, with a condescending tone.
Xia Wan raised her lips.
With a bright smile, she asked rhetorically: "If I didn't make tea for you, would you ask me now, why don't you make tea for your elders?" Where is the politeness and tutoring? Right? ”
The old man choked, his brows furrowed even tighter, and more and more of the displeasure was coming out.
Summer evening should not be noticed.
Rubbing her fingertips on the teacup, she smiled faintly, then looked at Xia Zhengtao, and said coquettishly: "Dad, you go out and wait for me first, just for a while, okay?" ”
Where would Xia Zhengtao agree?!
"Late, he's ......"
"I know." Narrowing his eyes, Xia Wan interrupted him.
Xia Zhengtao suddenly felt complicated to the extreme: "I know that you are still ......"
"Dad, you believe me." Xia Wan said seriously.
Xia Zhengtao looked at her for a few seconds, and finally compromised.
“…… Good. ”
The door opened, the door closed, and Xia Zhengtao's figure was isolated.
Only then did Xia Wan retract his gaze and look at the old man opposite.
The old man's eyes seemed to have become sharper, and the momentum around him had also changed, which was enough to make the people in the box tremble and shudder.
However, summer evenings are not included.
"Old Mr. Lawrence." She looked at him and spat out a few words politely and detachedly.
