007. Heart-to-heart talk
Shi Lan sat on the sofa by the window, the moonlight sprinkled on her, making people feel that she was very lonely: "Come and talk to you." β
Lin Xiao paused slightly in pouring water, looked up at Shi Lan in some surprise, blinked his wet eyes twice, and stretched out his finger to himself with some surprise: "Looking for me?" She asked herself that the relationship with Shi Lan was not good enough to fall in love with each other, but thinking of Shi Lan standing in front of her without hesitation just now, Lin Xiao still obediently sat down on the sofa opposite.
"Isn't it weird? I'm going to come and talk to you. Shi Lan laughed a little self-deprecatingly, took a shallow sip of hot water, and said abruptly, "I stepped into the entertainment industry at the age of thirteen, and I have been in the industry for twenty-one years, and I don't even have friends who can say intimate words, do you know why?" Her eyes were full of moonlight, different from the bright scenery in front of her, she was shattered at the moment, as if she was going to dissipate into the air in the next second.
Lin Xiao shook his head silently.
"Because of Kim Jeong." Shi Lan retracted his gaze, raised his eyes to look at the dark night outside the window, and fell into a memory, "I met him for the first time when I was sixteen years old, and he was completely different from the rich boys I had seen, like a stunned young man, his face was red and he only held back a word of congratulations." She couldn't help but chuckle, but in an instant, she lowered her eyelids again, "Later, he began to pursue me, chasing me for two years, I admit that I was moved, but just when I was about to agree to him, someone told me that he already had a fiancΓ©e, Zhu Ze, the second lady of the Zhu family." β
"Zhu family?!" Lin Xiao's eyes widened in shock, "The Zhu family who made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country?" β
Shi Lan nodded with a wry smile and raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiao: "We people look beautiful on the surface, but in fact they are nothing. She exhaled lightly and continued, "In high society, wealthy families and families are different, and Jin Zheng and Zhu Ze's engagement is considered a high climb of the Jin family, so I have no choice but to quit, but what I didn't expect is that Jin Zheng ...... You'll choose me. She looked at Lin Xiao with tears in her eyes, "He firmly chose me between me and Zhu Ze." β
The room was so quiet that it seemed that even the air was stagnant, a tear fell from Shi Lan's face, and Lin Xiao handed over a tissue a little helplessly: "So, it is rumored in the circle that you were taken care of by the eldest prince of the Jin family is fake, in fact, are you in a serious relationship?" β
"Sort of." Shi Lan raised his hand and wiped the tail of his eyes, "After we were together, Zhu Ze looked for me in private. To be honest, I was surprised that she didn't pursue me too much for snatching Kim Jong, but just said thank you to me very gently, saying that she didn't like Kim Jong and didn't like the marriage between families...... Later, she went to the mountains to teach and set up a girls' school, which you should have heard of. β
"Is it Huazhong Girls' School?" Lin Xiao was very surprised, "Principal Zhu is actually a descendant of Chief Zhu!" β
This is a well-known women's college, and every student in it is a girl from the mountains, either because of poverty or because of the preference for sons, they have no chance to study, let alone go out of the mountains, until a young volunteer teacher comes to the mountains. She paid out of her own pocket and did it herself, taking root in the mountains for ten years, giving those girls who should have been buried all their lives a new life - no one knew her name, only her surname was Zhu, and everyone called her "Teacher Zhu" and "Principal Zhu".
Two years ago, the 100% repetition rate of Huazhong Girls' School shocked the society, and Principal Zhu also appeared in the public's field of vision, but she was seriously ill and disappeared after a few sporadic appearances in the documentary.
"She is actually in very poor health, and ten years of teaching almost cost her half of her life, but she said it was worth it." Shi Lan's eyes flashed with admiration, "Such a righteous woman, ten Jin Zheng is not worthy of her." But even so, Jin Zheng and I don't want to match, the longer I stay with him, the more I realize this, and the people in the circle who know our real relationship look down on me, saying that I am delusional, borrowing people to marry across classes, and people who don't know our real relationship also secretly look down on me behind my back, saying that I have my back to the gold lord and use beauty to get on the throne. She looked at Lin Xiao deeply, "Lin Xiao, don't follow in my footsteps." β
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned: "Sister Lan, what do you mean by this?" β
"Director Qin seems to be particularly attentive to you." Shi Lan took a slow sip of tea and said in a low voice, "It is still so difficult for me and Kim Zheng to be in love, if a third party intervenes, then your situation is ......."
"No, no, no, Sister Lan, you misunderstood." Lin Xiao reacted at this time, and waved her hand again and again, "Director Qin is not concerned about me because of ......" Her tongue was knotted, and she didn't know where to start explaining, so she simply said directly, "I am Director Qin's long-lost daughter." β
At this time, Shi Lan was stunned: "Daughter? β
Lin Xiao quickly explained the cause and effect, and didn't even dare to pause in the middle: "So, Director Qin is my father who is related by blood, dear." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh. Shi Lan touched his nose with some embarrassment.
"But thank you, Sister Lan, no one has ever said anything like this to me before." Lin Xiao smiled with crooked eyebrows, like a simple and harmless rabbit, "Sister Lan, if you don't dislike it, I'll be your friend, I don't have any merits, it's just that I have a strict mouth, no matter what you and I are, I promise that not a word will leak out." She raised three fingers and swore to God, making a zipper gesture to her lips.
Shi Lan couldn't help laughing, and the embarrassment faded a lot: "When Sister Fei told me about your life experience, I still felt sorry for you, but I didn't expect to change my body and become a girl from the Qin family." After a pause, she said again, "It's just that the environment of the Qin family, I don't know if it's good or bad for you." β
Lin Xiao tilted his head, expressing puzzlement.
Shi Lan casually pulled a blank piece of paper, took a pen and slowly sketched the relationship diagram: "The Qin family is a mineral family, and the current family is Qin Pingsen, that is, your uncle, he has four children, the eldest is an old man, it is said that he is very spoiled, he is a famous gentleman in the circle, and his wife is the eldest lady of the Song family in Hong Kong City, she is very arrogant, and her mother Duanmu Oak is very incompatible. She circled the three words Qin Weihai, "And then you also have an uncle named Qin Weimo, who is still unmarried." β
Lin Xiao looked at the writing and painting on the paper, and didn't feel a little big, and asked cautiously: "It's already separated, so there shouldn't be many opportunities to meet, right?" β
"Although the Qin family's family is in S Province, the upper-class circle is so big, they will always meet it." Shi Lan reached out and pinched Lin Xiao's face, and said with a smile, "But you should usually stay more at Duanmu's house." She took out another blank piece of paper and continued, "The Duanmu family has always been noble, and except for the turmoil when your uncle Duanmu Huai had an illegitimate daughter outside, there are almost no family scandals. β
Lin Xiao nodded: "Well, Rong Rong of the Duanmu family has already told me." β
"Rongrong?" Shi Lan raised his eyes and blinked, and searched in his mind, "Duanmu Huai's ex-wife gave birth to three children, the eldest Duanmu Yan is now the actual ruler of the Duanmu Group, and the second Duanmu Xuan and the youngest daughter Duanmu Rong left the Duanmu family with their mother, is the Rongrong you are talking about Duanmu Rong?" β
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I heard that Duanmu Huai's ex-wife and he met when he was young, and the old man Duanmu refused to let people enter the door, and Duanmu Huai also went on a hunger strike for her, swearing that he would never marry again in this life, and in the end it was the old lady who was relieved." Shi Lan was also embarrassed when he talked about the secrets of the wealthy family, "Time has passed, and the two old men have changed their views on their daughters-in-law, but the parties have changed their minds, not to mention raising a junior, and giving birth to an illegitimate daughter, I heard that they are about the same age as Duanmu Rong......"
Lin Xiao looked at the two pieces of paper on the table in a daze, and clearly realized what kind of family he was about to return.
"Knock knock."
"Sister Lan, Xiaoxiao, are we going to visit Wen Yuan, let's go together?" Lin Rong poked his head out of the door and said with a smile, "After this part is filmed, our filming will be over!" β
"Okay, here we go."
***
After the first recording ended, Lin Rong rushed back to school non-stop, although she really wanted to accompany Lin Xiao back to Qin's house, but there was no way, the final exam of college students couldn't afford to hurt!
"I don't understand why the history department has to take the high math exam! It's a junior! Lin Rong, who walked out of the examination room, looked numb, holding the green high math textbook and praying to the sky, "God bless, just pass." β
"Don't worry, you're a mascot, you'll definitely be able to get by." Bai Liu smiled and reached out to poke Lin Rong's head, dragging Fang Yichun, who also looked dead, behind him, and said helplessly, "But Rong Rong, you are too good at bias, you can get almost full marks in such a difficult professional class, and you can only pass high math calculus every time." β
"How long do people grow, do you understand?" Lin Rong raised his wrist and glanced at the time, "Huan cub and the president should have finished the exam, let's go, let's eat together." β
Fang Yichun opened his eyelids: "I want to eat the barbecue rice from Qingfeng Canteen......"
"Good, good." Bai Liu touched her head dotingly and said, "After eating, I will take the test in the afternoon." β
"Ah......h
A University has a billboard, which is ranked according to the popularity and grade points of students in the school, and Zong Zhenghuan, Shen Mei, and Lin Rong, who are also in the 601 dormitory, have dominated the top three for many years, but if they are combined, they will inevitably cause a sensation - one is the goddess of the finance department, the other is the gentle president of the law department, and the other is the history department examination god koi, and anyone who sees it must look back twice.
"It's rare that the president has time to eat with us today." Fang Yichun's cheeks were bulging, and he said inarticulately, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't go back to the dormitory until it's dark every day, and I get up and leave before dawn." β
"There's a high probability that I won't be able to be idle this summer." Shen Mei smiled helplessly, "The centennial celebration is just in time for the start of school, and I have already applied to stay in school during the summer vacation." She glanced at the crowd, "What about you?" What are your plans for this summer? β
"I also applied to stay in school." Bai Liu said, "My parents are both abroad, and there is no one at home, so I happen to be studying at school. β
"I just received an offer from Yaryu University yesterday, and I have already decided on the itinerary, and I will fly to country M on August 15, and I have to move all the procedures before that, so I will stay on campus for the time being." Zong Zhenghuan also said, turning his eyes to look at Fang Yichun and Lin Rong.
Lin Rong swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I'm going to run variety shows this summer, and I'm going to Kyoto next week." β
"Me, me, me!" Fang Yichun raised his hand and begged for praise on his face, "I'm going to go to City A Museum for an internship this summer!" β
"Wow, Chun'er is so good." Everyone praised the venue in unison, and Bai Liu, who was sitting next to her, reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile, "The cultural relics protection work experience of the A City Museum is very rare, and you should cherish it." β
Fang Yichun nodded vigorously.
On the other side, Zong Zhenghuan whispered to Lin Rong: "The public opinion about Lin Xiao on the Internet has been controlled, don't worry." β
"Thank you." Lin Rong thanked him in a low voice.
"The Qin family's forces in S Province are intertwined, if Lin Xiao's identity is confirmed, I want to hold a press conference seriously, and then it will be another turmoil, you have to prepare in advance." Shen Mei reminded on the side.
Lin Rong shook his head: "My aunt said that it will not be made public for the time being. β
"The paparazzi have already been photographed at the doorstep, and they are not yet public?" Tong Yanyan didn't know where to come from, and held her mobile phone in front of Lin Rong, "If you don't clarify, the next wave of black material will be overwhelming." β
Lin Rong and others came over to take a closer look, only to see that the first place on the hot list on the V Bo was so red that it turned black - #η! L surname Xiaohua and Q name guide hand in hand in and out of the Begonia community, intimate posture!
Qin Weihai will stay in the crew most of the time because of his work, so Duanmu Oak usually lives in the old house on weekdays, but the small home of the two couples is in a high-end community in the prosperous area of City A.
"Wen Wen's room is upstairs to the west, your room is on the east side, mom will take you up to have a look." Duanmu Oak didn't know what was going on on the Internet, so she took Lin Xiao's hand and said gently, "In the past twenty years that you have been away, my mother has been thinking about you every day......" She couldn't help but tears in her eyes, and gently pushed open the door in front of her.
Lin Xiao was stunned at the door.
From four to twenty-six years old, each compartment is full of clothes, jewelry, and various dolls, shoes, bags, etc., and at the end of the corner you can vaguely glimpse the pink princess room, and the floor-to-ceiling window is the bustling city center.
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't react, Duanmu Oak was visibly at a loss, Qin Weihai stood not far behind the mother and daughter, and said cautiously: "If you don't like it, we will go to the CBD to buy a new one now, and we will redecorate your room according to your preferences, warm ...... Lin Xiao, in the past 22 years that you have been away, your parents have always been concerned about you. β
"Thank you......" Lin Xiao couldn't stop crying, choked up and could barely say a complete sentence.
She really, went home.
