Gentle Beast [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 71
71
Later memories Ye Liuying was reluctant to let her recall.
More sudden than her decision was the news of Chen Mei’s death.
According to Nurse Xiaoliang, it was Chen Mei’s son who called again.
Chen Mei’s face was ugly, and after saying a few words, she was kicked out of the ward.
When she came back with dinner, Chen Mei had already fallen to the ground.
The cause of death was diabetic acute myocardial infarction.
Thinking about it, Ye Zhicheng was so angry.
For Ye Liuying, this was a bit unexpected and reasonable.
She and Chen Mei had a tense relationship, but she never thought that she would go so fast, and she was depressed for several days.
Wu Xudong got the news immediately and notified Shen Xingzhou.
Shen Xingzhou didn’t want Ye Liuying to worry about this, and directly explained to Uncle Wang how to deal with Chen Mei’s death.
Ye Zhicheng’s family has disappeared so far, and the funeral can only be kept low-key.
Shen Xingzhou has been very busy recently, and only went to the funeral home with Ye Liuying that day, and accompanied her to complete the burial ceremony.
Ye Liuying gave Chen Mei the last ride in a daze.
She had too many things on her mind, she was stressed, she couldn’t sleep all night, and her hair was falling out badly.
One of the culprits lay beside him.
Shen Xingzhou hugged her sideways and slept soundly.
And she opened her eyes and fell asleep in a daze after dawn.
Shen Xingzhou was actually not bad to her.
But she already wanted to leave him.
The morning before the 12.20 new product launch of Jingcong Technology.
Ye Liuying took the high-speed train and left the city where she had lived for thirteen years.
She threw away the phone card, put on an ordinary student uniform, and carried a small suitcase through the high-speed rail carriage.
Recalling the helplessness when it was originally designed by Ye Zhicheng and Meng Meiling and sold to a wealthy businessman.
Ye Liuying felt less brooding about the fact that they were not her biological parents.
As if this would give a reasonable explanation for their behavior.
Anyway, like today, they can’t hinder her.
Both sad and aggrieved.
As for Shen Xingzhou.
Can’t tell who owes whom.
She just didn’t want to get involved with him for the time being.
The train travels far into the distance through the lengthy tunnel.
The old Lingnan Town seems to have slowed down the time.
It should come, but it will still come.
From Jiangcheng to Lingnan Town, and then from Lingnan Town to Jiangcheng.
The period is just over a month.
Shen Xingzhou’s confession was not what Ye Liuying expected.
She thought he was the same as before.
Eyes higher than the top, unwilling to lower the noble head.
It turned out that she was wrong.
Ye Liuying somewhat understood what Shen Xingzhou was hiding from her.
She suppressed the curiosity in her heart, because she herself was not sure whether the truth was something she could bear.
It was Shen Xingzhou.
In the beginning, it was faceless and skinless, as if there was no end to it.
“I’ve never liked anyone else.”
“It’s only you from beginning to end.”
The Ferris wheel slowly descended.
Shen Xingzhou’s deep voice seemed to be still in his ears.
Seeing Ye Liuying’s surprise, he also explained everything about Yu Ling and Lou Yushu carefully.
The former is that he is kind.
The latter is his naughty.
It seems that it is difficult to define Shen Xingzhou as a simple scum and no scum.
“I heard Uncle Wang say she went to find you, didn’t she?”
Ye Liuying was about to speak when she heard Shen Xingzhou ask angrily, “She won’t dare to appear in front of you again, really.”
“What did you do to her?”
“not me.”
Shen Xingzhou didn’t want to talk about Lou Yushu, “Li Yichu got fired after finding out that she had cheated. She couldn’t find a good job in Jiangcheng.”
“You must have done something.”
“Oh.” Shen Xingzhou’s tone was indifferent, “I just sent the photos of her hanging out with her ex-boyfriend and the abortion records to her parents.”
“…” As expected of you.
Ye Liuying felt relieved when she thought of the things that Lou Yushu sent her.
“Do you believe me now?”
Shen Xingzhou lowered his head and leaned into Ye Liuying’s ear and said, “It’s all my fault, I didn’t let you know sooner…”
“Let’s talk about it.” Ye Liuying pushed Shen Xingzhou’s head away with a hot face.
She didn’t let him know.
She never believed Lou Yushu.
Just inevitably mind her.
And she also gradually realized that when Shen Xingzhou said that she would not be allowed to sign Chuhe Media, he should have prepared a later move.
Knowing his relationship with Gu Fan, she understood.
But even so, Ye Liuying still couldn’t accept Shen Xingzhou.
Between them, perhaps more than that.
She has problems with him.
I just don’t know if the so-called like and love can support them to continue together.
“I’m waiting for you.”
Shen Xingzhou did not feel lost, and followed Ye Liuying all the way out.
In comparison, Wu Pei and Zhong Yi seemed much more happy.
The two were affectionately together, and the young faces were fresh and lively.
On the other hand, Ye Liuying and Shen Xingzhou are undoubtedly a pair of resentful couples.
But the grudge even seems to not mind.
Cold wind blows on a winter evening.
Ye Liuying and Wu Pei planned to go back to the hot spring later.
They didn’t eat much at night.
Shen Xingzhou and Zhong Yi had nothing to do with them, so they persuaded them to eat a little and let them go.
Ye Liuying lived in a top-of-the-line suite.
It is a two-story building with a supporting hot spring in the courtyard.
It just happens to be a rose pond that suits them very well.
“Why did you come out, you seem to be even more unhappy?”
Wu Pei put on his swimsuit and stepped into the hot spring, fiddling with the rose petals on the pool.
The air is full of warmth and the scent of roses.
Ye Liuying leaned against the wall of the pool with her eyes closed slightly, and didn’t have much reaction when she heard Wu Pei’s words, “It’s nothing to be unhappy about.”
“That’s unhappy.” Wu Pei said out of the way.
Ye Liuying lifted her eyelids and looked at Wu Pei narrowly, “I’m not happy without you and Zhong Yi.”
“……We are just friends.”
Wu Pei curled his lips. When he said this, he felt guilty, so he sighed and said, “If you don’t care about this matter, you have no worries. When you get over your mind, you start to look ahead.”
She was talking about her and Zhong Yi.
She could have said earlier that age is not a problem, it’s just true love.
Not anymore.
Although Zhong Yi is almost eighteen years old, she is always a little nervous.
What a sin.
“I didn’t expect that I would have such a day.” Wu Pei pretended to cover his eyes and said a lot.
Ye Liuying was amused by Wu Pei’s playful gesture, “I don’t think you can last long.”
It was in one sentence.
“Okay.” When Wu Pei was told the central matter, he held up water and splashed Ye Liuying with shame and annoyance, “Then I will return this sentence to you.”
“We are different.” Ye Liuying did not move and let her pretend, but the smile on her lips was much more helpless.
“Don’t fool me, I can see that neither of you can let go of each other.” Although Wu Pei also felt that the history of Ye Liuying and Shen Xingzhou was very bad, she couldn’t even see it.
“And Shen Xingzhou really cares about you. Now all misunderstandings have been resolved, shouldn’t it be a happy ending?”
“Which side are you standing on?” Ye Liuying gave Wu Pei an angry look.
Wu Pei immediately raised his hand and swore, “Of course I’m on the side that makes you happy.”
“…” Ye Liuying heard what else to refute.
Speaking of which, she went retrograde for a whole year last year.
This year seems to have really ushered in a new life.
At least Gu Fan’s new movie has a different meaning to her.
The big reunion that Wu Pei said could not be now.
She had always felt that their relationship was not equal, and even now this problem has not been resolved.
But she believed that the day was coming soon.
Ye Liuying stayed at the resort for one night.
The next morning, Shen Xingzhou sent her to Gu Fan’s place.
She originally thought that Shen Xingzhou was going to follow up, but she didn’t think that he drove her away after he delivered her.
Before leaving, he left a “see you in the evening”.
This made Ye Liuying feel a little different.
Gu Fan’s residence in Jiangcheng is completely different from Lingnan Town.
One is like spring and one is like autumn.
The only thing in common is probably the quiet environment he prefers.
The villa is not in the city center, but in an old cultural district somewhere in the southern suburbs.
The residences are not dense and occupy a large area. It takes four or five minutes to walk from the entrance to the main building.
Entering the door is a whole sea of roses.
It is a pity that it is not the flowering period, otherwise the scenery must be beautiful.
Ye Liuying insisted on getting off the bus at the door, and as she walked, she understood what Shen Xingzhou meant.
Fortunately, the surrounding environment and air are good, and her physical strength is not so bad.
She was just halfway there when Jiang Chi’s car drove in.
“Do you want to get in the car?” He drove a very coquettish red Ferrari today, and the lowered window showed his handsome face.
Ye Liuying has a new understanding of Jiang Chi.
“I’ll just walk.” She declined Jiang Chi with a smile, “See you later.”
Jiang Chi didn’t force it.
The roar of the sports car sounded, and it stopped in front of the main building not long after.
Jiang Chi waited in the car for more than a minute, and Ye Liuying’s figure appeared in front of him.
She wore a smoky blue cropped coat with a white turtleneck slim-fit sweater and a black A-line skirt underneath.
Wearing a fluffy round earring on the ear, it is fresh and elegant.
In the desolate winter, her frowns and smiles are particularly bright.
“Teacher stayed up all night again today, so my temper may not be very good.” Jiang Chi smiled at Ye Liuying and took the initiative to remind.
“I see.” Ye Liuying nodded as if facing the enemy.
She originally thought that Gu Fan was not difficult to get along with, but Jiang Chi had to brainwash her every time they met.
She couldn’t help but wonder if Gu Fan had a split personality.
Jiang Chi is very familiar with Gu Fan here.
Ye Liuying followed him and glanced roughly.
The villa is in retro English style.
The style is calm, the details are vivid, and it has a strong sense of art.
Gu Fan was waiting for them in the study.
Sitting behind his desk, he threw two scripts away as soon as he saw someone.
“Pack up and leave for Tongcheng next Monday.” Gu Fan said with a final word.
Heavy double curtains block out the sunlight.
An eye protection lamp was lit on the desk, and Gu Fan was wearing a loose black sweater, which made him look more and more sold.
The broken hair on his forehead half covered his forehead, his palm-sized face couldn’t hide his tiredness, but his eyes seemed to be glowing.
There is a secret excitement.
No wonder Wu Pei’s Yangou kept shouting to see Gu Fan’s true face.
Just looking at his face, Gu Fan is not inferior to most of the male stars in the entertainment industry.
Haggard has beauty.
Ye Liuying retracted her gaze, and when she took over the script, she happened to see the design drawings on the table.
The filming location of the movie “Battle Royale” is located in the newly built film and television base in Tongcheng.
I heard that the scene is very big, and Gu Fan’s team is very careful in the construction of the scene, and he himself participated in the design, trying to achieve perfection.
Jiang Chi was not surprised by this.
Ye Liuying thought it was strange, and after reading the drawing a few more times, she focused her attention on the script.
“Is Tongcheng ready?” Jiang Chi asked.
“I’ll go there tomorrow.”
Gu Fan was afraid that Jiang Chi still had a schedule, so he didn’t let him follow immediately, “Come back later.”
There are four and a half days until next Monday.
Although Ye Liuying was very idle, these few days just allowed her to figure out the script.
“Okay.” Jiang Chi responded cooperatively, “I have a cover to shoot the day after tomorrow, and there will be nothing else to do after that.”
Ye Liuying was looking good when she heard Gu Fan say to her, “Go back and read the script carefully. If you have any questions, just ask me.”
He didn’t name her, but Ye Liuying intuited that this was what she told her.
“I will.” She nodded hastily, her light brown eyes full of sincerity.
Gu Fan was too lazy to look at them, so he opened his mouth to drive people away, “If you have nothing else to do, just go back.”
“teacher.”
Jiang Chi thought for a while and asked aloud, “How long is the filming expected to take this time? Is it still the fully closed filming that I said earlier?”
“Ok……”
Gu Fan rubbed his brows and said, “Two months at most.”
After Jiang Chi asked, he took Ye Liuying away.
When Ye Liuying thought of filming in a closed area, the first thing that came to her mind was Shen Xingzhou.
She frowned in surprise.
“What?” Jiang Chi saw Ye Liuying’s dazed expression, and patted the top of her hair in a funny way, “Afraid?”
Ye Liuying hurriedly waved her hand and asked, “Director Gu, is this a script that has been spent for a few nights?”
nothing else.
Gu Fan’s face.
At first glance, it looks like a lack of desire (lack of sleep).
“The teacher’s highest record is to sleep ten hours a week.” Jiang Chi said to Ye Liuying with a smile.
Ye Liuying: ? ? ?
Do talented people work so hard?
She could almost foresee how crazy Gu Fan would be when filming.
“Is he filming like this too?” Ye Liuying couldn’t help but ask.
Jiang Chi hesitated for a while before explaining, “If the progress is good, it won’t happen, don’t worry.”
“…” She was even more worried about what to do?
After coming out, Jiang Chi offered to send Ye Liuying back.
Ye Liuying also knew that this place was not easy to take a taxi, so she did not reject his kindness.
But one size fits all.
Ye Liuying still cared about it routinely, “Has your car been followed by paparazzi before?”
“It’s okay.” Jiang Chi was amused by Ye Liuying’s cautious look, “This is the new car I just mentioned the day before yesterday.”
Ye Liuying was relieved.
They usually chat a lot on the Internet, and when they meet, they don’t have any topics to talk about, and they don’t get along with each other.
“I’m going to invite you to lunch?” Jiang Chi offered to take the initiative to suggest that it was after eleven o’clock in the city.
Wu Pei will be busy soon, so he may not be home at noon.
It’s just that eating with Jiang Chi is more risky than riding in his car, Ye Liuying hesitated for a while.
Jiang Chi also saw what she meant, and said helplessly: “I promise not to be photographed.”
So Ye Liuying happily responded, “Then I’ll have a cheeky meal.”
“It’s so sad.” Jiang Chi covered his lips and smiled, and said deliberately, “I was thinking about whether to fire a CP with you. You make me feel disgusted.”
Fried CP with Jiang Chi has more advantages than disadvantages for Ye Liuying, but it is the opposite for Jiang Chi.
Ye Liuying knew very well, so she couldn’t take his advantage for nothing, “It’s not that I dislike you, it’s that I’m afraid of being disliked by your fans.”
Jiang Chi has been in the entertainment industry for so long, how can he not understand Ye Liuying’s meaning.
He also mentioned it casually, and when he heard her say that, he changed the subject.
The atmosphere along the way was very harmonious.
Considering Ye Liuying’s wish not to be photographed, Jiang Chi took her to the Yunshang Hotpot Restaurant.
Jiang Chi’s status is basically not bad. He was brought here once, and he immediately applied for a card.
Yunshang Hotpot Restaurant has authentic taste, good service and privacy, providing great convenience to public figures who are inconvenient to dine out.
“If you come here, you will have to spend money.” Ye Liuying said so, but she didn’t look embarrassed when she ordered.
In addition to the fixed ingredients, the food list on the cloud is frequently updated.
She has eaten here three or four times and it feels like a new experience each time.
Seeing Ye Liuying’s openness, Jiang Chi thought that he would have no chance to chase after her.
Besides, he still remembered that chasing Shen Xingzhou to Lingnan Town could only suppress the goodwill in his heart.
Ye Liuying finished the order happily, Jiang Chi added a lot with a good laugh after reading it, “Are you afraid of eating poor me?”
“How is that possible.” Ye Liuying looked at Jiang Chi in distress when she heard the words, “Director Gu asked me to lose weight, didn’t he let you lose weight?”
“no.”
Ye Liuying was choked by Jiang Chi.
She glanced at Jiang Chi resentfully, got up and went to the bathroom.
The wooden sliding door of the private room was opened by the waiter.
Just as Ye Liuying was about to step out, she was distracted by the sound on the opposite side.
Shen Xingzhou just came out.
The moment he opened the door, he seemed to be stunned for a second. After reacting, he looked at Ye Liuying with a complicated expression for a second.
The next second, he raised his lips and smiled: “What a coincidence.”
It’s quite a coincidence.
Ye Liuying nodded and turned to go to the bathroom.
Shen Xingzhou didn’t know if the destination was the same as hers or what, so he followed up decisively.
“Who did you come with?” Shen Xingzhou had the answer in his heart, but he was reluctant to believe it, “Gu Fan?”
“Jiang Chi.” Ye Liuying responded quickly.
it is as expected.
Shen Xingzhou thought about a lot of things about him, and now he has to have another rival in love.
He couldn’t help but cursed Gu Fan inwardly.
“Who did you come with?” Shen Xingzhou thought that Ye Liuying would ignore him, but who knew that she suddenly asked him a question.
“Li Yichu.” Shen Xingzhou didn’t hide it from her, raised his eyebrows and smiled, “You’ve seen it before.”
Because of Lou Yushu’s stubble, Li Yichu always looked for an opportunity to court Shen Xingzhou every now and then.
As soon as he arrived at the company today, he heard that Li Yichu was here.
This person is not very skilled, but he has good patience.
When he was done with the business at hand, he offered to invite him to dinner.
Generally speaking, when Li Yichu approached him five times, Shen Xingzhou would only agree once or twice.
He was in a good mood today and agreed.
It was a good thing to meet Ye Liuying after coming here.
But because Jiang Chi was with her, Shen Xingzhou felt a little uncomfortable.
However, his current position is just an ordinary suitor, and he is not even qualified to be jealous.
Think a little sad.
“I like you first.” Shen Xingzhou quickly grabbed Ye Liuying’s wrist and looked down at her seriously.
He wore a double-breasted trench coat with large lapels today, and the fake two-piece design has a strong visual sense.
The noon sun slanted on him, and the whole person was like a walking pictorial.
Ye Liuying looked into his peach blossom eyes.
Instead of being bewitched, he smiled slyly, “Then let me give you an answer first.”
“I’m not in a hurry.” Shen Xingzhou replied very quickly, for fear that she would accidentally say something about rejection.
“Then don’t worry.” Ye Liuying didn’t insist any longer, she just wanted to pull her hand out of him.
Shen Xingzhou did not let her succeed.
He rubbed her delicate hand and said with courage, “Do you…do you want to meet your biological parents?”
He didn’t want to tell her so early.
But the phone call he just received made him change his mind.
Besides, they’ve been through so much, Aying is sensitive, and he doesn’t want to hide it from her anymore.
“Are they still alive?” Ye Liuying had guessed in this regard and didn’t show too much resistance.
“You still guessed it.”
Shen Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, but the burden in his heart became heavier, “It’s all still there, it’s just that your mother’s health is not very good.”
He carefully observed Ye Liuying’s reaction, “If you don’t want to, I will help you stop them.”
Ye Liuying was very calm.
She lowered her eyes, her fluttering eyelashes revealing a little something on her mind.
Shen Xingzhou knew what Ye Liuying was thinking about.
He touched her hair distressedly and said softly, “They… didn’t mean to lose you.”
Nor did he do it on purpose.
“You are very familiar with them?” Ye Liuying raised her eyebrows and heard something different from Shen Xingzhou’s words.
“It’s a world friend.”
Shen Xingzhou said, “If you want to know, I’ll tell you later?”
This is not a good place to talk.
“Already confirmed?” Ye Liuying was still a little confused.
“They have been looking for you for many years, and there is a lot of noise every year. Every year, many people come to you, but every time they finish the appraisal, they are very disappointed.”
“So later, the paternity test was done directly, eliminating the need for the meeting.”
Shen Xingzhou said hesitantly.
“So I have to do identification too?”
“I was afraid that you wouldn’t accept it, so I didn’t agree.” Shen Xingzhou said with a frown.
Ye Liuying was a little surprised by Shen Xingzhou’s attitude.
But I have to admit that it feels good to be in his heart.
“Then how can you be sure that those are my biological parents?” Ye Liuying blinked and looked up at Shen Xingzhou.
“Your eyes are very similar to your grandmother’s.”
Shen Xingzhou opened his mouth and said, “Of course the most important thing is that I have caught the bad guy, and the information is correct.”
Ye Liuying only got a real feeling when she heard this.
It turns out that she was not deliberately abandoned by her parents…
Her heart was beating so fast, she pursed her lips and said, “Then let’s do the appraisal.”
No one is not curious about their own background.
Even if she doesn’t have great expectations for family affection, she can’t deny it.
As soon as Ye Liuying finished speaking, Shen Xingzhou hugged her into his arms.
He held her tightly, as if to melt her into his blood.
“If Ah Ying becomes a rich woman… don’t leave me, okay?” Shen Xingzhou said in a hoarse voice, seemingly extremely depressed.
Ye Liuying sniffed the good scent on his body, but said, “…Aren’t they not together now?”
“Hmm.” Shen Xingzhou let out a low laugh, his voice barely audible.
“Aying is still so ruthless.”
