Rebirth of the Wealthy Villainess - Chapter 20
In the line to check tickets here, two women who seemed to be slightly older than the average age of the audience were obviously surprised to see each other.
“Professor Shi, what a coincidence?”
“Hello, it’s a coincidence.”
The speakers were Yan Chengan’s mother Professor Shi Zijie and Su Man’s mother Bai Yaojin. Before, the two had an impression of each other because of a lecture, but they didn’t expect to meet here again so soon.
“My son is playing today.” Shi Zijie’s normally serious face softened a bit at this time, and briefly introduced Bai Yaojin.
“Ah, my daughter’s boyfriend is also appearing today, so I’ll take a look too.” Bai Yaojin was actually a little uneasy today, so she just followed her words without thinking much.
As soon as the words came out, both mothers obviously paused for a moment.
Will it be so coincidental? There are so many people in a class, it seems that the probability is not high.
At this moment, a subtle premonition flashed in their hearts, and they felt that the probability was too small. But they couldn’t help recalling their previous impressions of each other, and they did have a lover with their own son/daughter, if it was the possibility of each other’s children.
When Su Man left the place where she met Yu Xing, she rushed to the small theater of the Film Academy. The whole small theater was almost full. She quickly found where her mother was and sat down beside her.
The curtain of the stage was officially opened.
In a rich and noble family full of the style of the Republic of China, the young master of the Lin family, played by Yan Chengan, is studying at home, and the maid next to him brings him a cup of tea, and his eyes are full of admiration. The teenager didn’t pay attention to the other’s eyes, and only focused on the book in his hand.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door on the stage, and an older servant asked the eldest young master, saying that his wife had asked him to go out into the hall, and there were guests coming.
The young master of the Lin family put down the book in his hand, instructed the young maid to help him put away the tea, and walked out without touching the book he had read halfway through. When I came to the hall, I saw several elders beside my mother and a strange but beautiful cousin.
As the plot unfolds, the previous grievances and grievances between the Lin family and their cousin’s Qin family are revealed one by one, and various characters also appear one by one. The sins and darkness in the bright-faced big family in the feudal society reveal to the audience little by little the unknown secrets and truths, the contradictions and entanglements of the two generations buried under the two families, and the blackness of the seemingly positive characters. The past and choices, the tragic life experience and occasional warmth revealed by the seemingly ugly villain are fascinating.
During the period, the characters on the stage are vivid, real and multi-faceted. Their strengths, weaknesses, and different value orientations and pursuits have been reversed several times. The complex sadomasochism and amazing secrets have also been holding on to the hearts of the audience. The conflict came to a climax step by step.
Such a play revolves around the marriage of the young master of the Lin family. He is both the protagonist and yet too ordinary, not as sharp and conflicted as many other characters during the period.
But with the development of the plot, the audience gradually discovered that the indecisive, black-and-white young master of the Lin family, who seems to be the most common person, also hides many secrets, and he is not as good as he showed in front of everyone in the first half. so innocent, swaying with other people’s choices.
It was also at this time that more and more audiences focused their attention on the role played by Yan Chengan, recalling some of his seemingly ordinary but subtle reactions in the first half, and now knowing the truth, the protagonist is the same as before. Keeping the same expression and saying similar words, it gives the audience a very shocking feeling.
This role is not easy to play, but he played it better!
On the stage, Yan Chengan and the characters are completely integrated. There is no stealing, no separation, just to make it difficult for the audience to take their eyes off him. He can’t help thinking about his every move, every word and deed. The character seems to be alive, he is this character!
At the moment when the dramatic conflict completely broke out, the performance of the actors and the development of the plot were thrilling, and the young master of the Lin family played by Yan Chengan also completely took the audience’s breath away. Even if the performances of other actors are equally good and the plot is equally exciting, everyone’s heart is imprinted with the figure of the young master of the Lin family on the field, which completely infects them.
Su Man looked at Yan Chengan like this in the audience, two completely different people inside and outside the play, which made people completely believe in the existence of such a character, and his mood constantly fluctuated with the character’s mood.
Clear and emotional lines reach the audience in the back row. Even if some people in the back row couldn’t see the expressions of the actors on stage, his voice, body, rhythm, and atmosphere had always infected the audience, and Su Man’s eyes sparkled when he looked at him on stage.
Incorporating the whole heart into the plot of the stage, Su Man feels extra relaxed and enjoys it. She does not need to speak, but only needs to feel and immerse.
Also watching quite into the drama is Bai Yaojin, who came to see her daughter’s boyfriend today. Originally, her thoughts were a little chaotic, and she kept thinking about some of the words her daughter said to her last night.
The daughter said that she was never someone who would lose her temper and do things randomly, and she would always just have a reason.
The reason why she let herself go out to participate in those activities is to hope that her mother can have more life and experience and a broader vision.
The daughter actually didn’t say anything, but the content of these words made Bai Yaojin inexplicably frightened. When Su Man asked her to remember to be optimistic about her shares and director rights, and asked her to attend a board meeting on her behalf, Bai Yaojin had some vague guesses in her heart, but she didn’t dare to think deeply.
It wasn’t until Su Man reminded her that she was watching her boyfriend’s graduation drama today, and Bai Yaojin barely calmed down.
The daughter’s boyfriend is also a big deal. These vague words don’t necessarily mean anything. She should focus on her eyes first. When she arrived at the small theater, met Professor Shi, and officially watched the performance, the entanglement of the characters in the play slowly made her forget her previous troubles and worries. She only felt that the play was well written and the students performed well.
Bai Yaojin, who used to go abroad to watch the top musicals and operas, had a good impression of several of the roles. Like many others, she felt that the actor was the best and most outstanding.
The “ordinary audience” Bai Yaojin, who has been following the hero’s eyes all the time, looked at it, and suddenly had an intuition: it was him, her daughter’s boyfriend!
The person that such an excellent daughter likes must also be the best!
When I happened to catch a glimpse of the eyes of my daughter next to my seat, I became more certain of my thoughts. She quietly took out her mobile phone, typed a line on the memo, and gently touched her daughter’s arm, motioning her to take a look.
【Is it your boyfriend who plays the male lead? I guess right, he looks the brightest. 】
Su Man’s words on the phone and the stage attracted everyone’s attention and mood, including her. Just now at the board of directors of the group, she showed an inaccessible, irritable and aggressive face. A proud smile appeared quietly.
It was completely different from the one who only had a smile on the corners of his mouth during the day, but there was no half-smile in his eyes, only a coldness.
The Danfeng eyes that usually looked cold and detached on Su Man’s face actually turned into a crooked smile, like a crescent moon, and they were shining brightly, making Su Man’s whole person bright in an instant.
Su Man took her mother’s phone and typed with a smile: [Yes, it’s him. 】
Bai Yaojin looked at the actors on the stage again, feeling a little strange. Some are curious, some are relieved and some are sour. My daughter has really grown up, and it is time to have someone she likes. However, when she looked at Yan Chengan’s face carefully, she suddenly felt a hint of familiarity from nowhere.
After looking at it for a long time, Bai Yaojin suddenly remembered that he seemed to have some resemblance to Professor Shi, especially his eyebrows.
It was just this time that Su Man was a little distracted watching the development of the plot on the stage. So, is it so coincidental?
Back then, she didn’t notice that many of the plots in this drama were actually staged by her side. The ruthless and hypocritical head of the Lin family, the illegitimate daughter hiding beside the young master of the Lin family, the relatives who want to seize the family property… are all staged around her in another form, probably because of different genders, no love entanglements in the circle, and less The unreasonable plot of the book-piercer.
Su Man knows her mother’s character, and she is very clear about the ultimate purpose of every step she takes now.
She didn’t tell her mother the truth of her father’s betrayal as soon as she came back. She knew that if she told her mother, her pure heart would definitely put all the truth on her face and ask for the result. However, Su Chengwen and the Su family will definitely not let them easily divorce and separate the family property, and they will be entangled with each other for a long time like the previous life, and the lawsuits will last for several years, which will make a lot of chicken feathers.
How could Su Chengwen, who has raised his mistress and illegitimate child for so long, and the old man of the Su family who knew the existence of his grandson for a long time, have not prepared in advance.
Intentional versus unintentional, many years of planning and being caught off guard, Su Man and Bai Yaojin lost too many opportunities.
Su Chengwen is also the chairman of the scenery, and Su Lie just entered the Su family and became the “Prince Prince”, and even relied on the relationship between Chuanshu Goldfinger and the Su family to deal with their mother and daughter.
The mother and grandfather also suffered so much that their bodies that were not very healthy collapsed again.
Now, she has enough financial support for their mother and daughter to live a prosperous life in the second half of their lives and the capital to carry out revenge. She can also guide her mother slowly, and try her best to make the moment when the truth comes, she can bear it better than the previous life.
Besides, how could she let Su Chengwen still be his chairman, and let Su Lie take over the Su Group as the next chairman.
She wants to let these people have nothing, and she has no time to regret.
This is the purpose of her hiding the truth and even getting a position in the Su Group. Su Man is actually a very lazy person. She doesn’t even bother to stretch out her hand when it is not necessary, but once she touches her bottom line, she will retaliate, and she will make it impossible for them to turn over.
At this time, it was also the end of the play on the stage, the plot came to an end, and all the audience stood up and applauded, thanking the students in the first class of the performance department for their wonderful show.
Thinking of Su Chengwen, Su Lie and the group of Su family members, Su Man’s mood became cold as he watched someone come on stage to deliver flowers to the actors, especially Yan Chengan who almost received a bouquet that he couldn’t hold at all. he is wearing.
Seeing that Yan Chengan has been looking in the direction of her here, waving at her, watching her, his eyes are full of joy, and he will never see the happiness and sweetness that he just wants to share with her when he looks at her. .
It was a very happy occasion, and they looked at each other sweetly, but Su Man was distracted for the second time today, just staring at him in a daze.
How long has it been since she saw Yan Chengan appear on the stage?
In her last life, she fell in love with the shining Yan Chengan because she saw Yan Chengan who was performing, but watching him perform and film less and less. At first, it seemed that she was too busy, busy with group affairs, busy fighting with illegitimate children and the Su family.
Later, it seemed that Yan Chengan was less and less likely to appear on stage or go out to receive plays.
It is clear that Yan Chengan is someone who likes the stage, likes to perform, and enjoys applause. Why is it that the international actor who is behind the scene is showing great ambitions, but he is less and less in public.
Thinking of the former husband and wife relationship between the two who treated each other like guests, and what she saw in the “plot”, Su Man’s mood became a little tense and heavy, and she left the Su family and the book-wearer that she thought about just now. behind the head.
She knows why. Paopao
Because Yan Chengan discovered the extreme fans’ remarks and Yu Xing’s private actions after marriage, and stepped on his red line. As a result, he and Yu Xing broke out into a fierce quarrel that Su Man was completely unaware of, and broke with Yu Xing completely.
After that, he terminated the contract with Yu Xing, and also issued an announcement saying that he is just an ordinary actor, thank the fans who appreciate his works, will not and will not support any form of fan organization, and do not want any attempt to spy or even meddle in addition to His life outside the role.
Yan Chengan has become “lazy” ever since.
An accident happened when Yan Chengan, who had terminated his manager’s contract and reduced the frequency of filming and became more “Buddhist”, received a supporting role that didn’t actually fit his position and configuration…
Now, looking at the young and full of expectation, Yan Chengan, who was once his favorite on stage, Su Man was even a little flustered, how did it become like this!
[He is an actor and a public figure, you should have kept a low profile. 】
[Love and women will drag down his talent and career! Block his way! 】
[People like you who only care about yourself are not compatible with him at all, and you don’t love him at all! 】
It is true that she hardly appears in the public eye as Yan Chengan’s wife.
Therefore, Yu Xing and extreme individual fans naturally think that she also has similar ideas and has the same scruples.
But is this the truth?
With such a personality as Su Man, with such a behavioral style, would he really change himself just because of a few words from outsiders, and listen to other people’s thinking to avoid suspicion?
How could someone like her agree that women should be dedicated to their husbands, and think that a wife who is a public figure must keep a low profile.
Looking at Yan Chengan with a happy smile on the stage, who simply loves to perform and enjoys the sense of accomplishment brought by the role and the audience, Su Man thought.
With strong professionalism and ambition, complicated family environment and the struggle with her illegitimate younger brother, she put too much effort into these things. Of course, she will also think of her own lack in this relationship, and a proud person like her will have reasons to want to find more.
Personality, family, career, and consideration for the good of each other’s career…
Yu Xing and the extreme fans believed it, and Yan Chengan also believed it, and even abandoned many things he liked and was willing to be an idler who spent more time at home.
She regretted so much after learning of Yan Chengan’s accidental death, and kept reminding herself to change when she started over again, learning to take the initiative to say the word love, and “make up for gifts” in such a way as 24 gifts…
So, what is the truth, she doesn’t want to.
It wasn’t until her mother took her hand, asked her with a smile if she wanted to go over to say hello to her boyfriend, and waited for her at the door, Su Man recovered and nodded, and looked back at Yan Chengan, who was still looking sideways at her on the stage. .
Anyway, she decided that Yan Chengan must be hers.
It must be this time, she has no regrets at all.
At this time, it was also the end of the play on the stage, the plot came to an end, and all the audience stood up and applauded, thanking the students in the first class of the performance department for presenting a wonderful show for everyone.
Most of the audience began to leave the stage, and there were also many classmates, relatives and friends of the actors, and fans who had obtained tickets to have a conversation with today’s actors who came back.
Among the remaining crowd in the audience, Su Man, who was outstanding in appearance and temperament, also attracted the attention of some people.
“Is she Yan Cheng’an’s girlfriend?”
A female classmate asked her friends and saw at a glance that the most striking girl in the crowd was indeed extremely beautiful.
“Look at Zhou Han’s look over there, it must be. Look, Yan Chengan also beckoned to her.”
At this time, Yan Chengan on the stage was smiling and accepting the bouquets specially sent to him by several fans, and patiently took pictures with them one by one.
Hearing these fans who came here on a special trip praised his performance today and said that he was looking forward to seeing his next performance in the future, Yan Chengan also sincerely thanked them for their support and expectations for the next works.
It’s just that he couldn’t help but look in Su Man’s direction, wanting to approach her quickly and talk to her.
Others can also see his eyes, some people smile tacitly, and some people joke
“Cheng An, that’s your girlfriend! Let me introduce it to us too.”
“Wow, looking at your eyes, why did I suddenly feel numb.”
Yan Chengan didn’t realize what he was looking at just now, and when he saw the playful expressions and deliberately numbness on the faces of his classmates, he was also a little uncomfortable. He should be looking at Su Man normally, there is nothing different in his eyes.
Yan Chengan returned to them, but the smile on his face never stopped. Seeing Su Man approaching, he couldn’t help feeling a little excited and a little nervous. He didn’t know how Su Man felt after watching his performance. Then he looked at the many male classmates standing beside him, and everyone stared at Su Man in unison. , There was a subtle sourness in his heart again.
I want to say don’t watch it, but his habits don’t allow him to say such things.
When Su Man came to him, he took Su Man’s hand and stood in front of her calmly, blocking the astonishing gazes of some male classmates. From the original joy, a trace of pride and monopoly was born out of his control.
I knew a lot of people would like her.
But she is mine.
Yan Chengan briefly introduced Su Man to his classmates, but he still planned to take Su Man aside to talk.
“We all know the name, let’s go into more detail, how to get you.” Lin Ran, who was hugging Zhou Han on the side, saw this, and took the initiative to pull Zhou Han over and asked, with a subtle attitude.
Yan Chengan’s eyes became slightly cold as he listened to the inexplicable question.
“In a normal relationship, I’m chasing her, and there’s nothing I can’t win or not. If I check the household registration like this, I don’t know that you think Lin Ran has changed career as a reporter.”
His face was still gentle and gentle, but his tone of voice was a little harder than usual. Most of the people present were human beings, and many people could hear the meaning of his words, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Looking at Lin Ran and Zhou Han next to her, they felt even more strange.
Is this really someone provocative in front of the young couple? Silly.
Yan Chengan’s girlfriend is so beautiful and her temperament is super good. Looking at the look in Yan Chengan’s eyes just now, she obviously likes her very much. What do they think?
“We’re just curious that you’ve been in love for so long, she hasn’t appeared, you don’t show photos, it’s so mysterious.”
Seeing that everyone looked at the two of them, there was something wrong in their eyes, and the boys who were holding her at first couldn’t help but secretly glance at Su Man, Yan Chengan was holding Su Man’s hand all the time, and Zhou Han could only Embarrassedly, he opened his mouth to show respect.
“It’s really good at brainstorming, and brainstorming has made a play.”
Yan Chengan looked at the speaker and explained coldly.
“Don’t be too pushy. It’s not suitable to hold my girlfriend and ask questions. It’s better to go and help organize the props. I’m too busy.”
Having said that, Yan Chengan pointed to a few classmates behind him who were moving props and sets, blocking the inexplicable behavior of these people.
Hearing this, most of the classmates who are still here also think that Lin Ran and Zhou Han, who came over here, are a bit too much. It was not that no one chased Yan Chengan before, and they stopped when they knew they had girlfriends. How beautiful.
There are also a lot of discerning people among the classmates. It’s just that people with crooked minds will always be surrounded by similar people, and it seems that they are all brainless.
Yan Chengan is a good person, and he rarely loses his temper with others, but everyone knows that he is not a soft-tempered person. His line is there, and no one dares to touch it.
Now, the two of them are obviously stepping on the line.
The classmates quickly dispersed, even Lin Ran and others didn’t dare to say anything.
Su Man stood beside him and listened to him dismissing everyone, and there were no more people around, so he took his hand and spoke.
“You did a great job today.”
Yan Chengan was startled, the impatience deep in his eyes slowly disappeared. It revealed a little bit of joy and doting that was not easy to detect.
“I don’t usually hear you compliment me. It seems that I should let you come to see my rehearsal more?”
As soon as the words came out, Yan Chengan was a little more conflicted. He liked that Su Man looked at him, with only his own appearance in his eyes, as if there was still a little admiration. But I don’t like that every time she appears, everyone will pay attention, especially the unstoppable goodwill in the eyes of the opposite sex.
This kind of thought made Yan Chengan feel a little ashamed of his darkness and stinginess, but he couldn’t control it. Before falling in love, he didn’t know that he was such a domineering person, and he didn’t know how Su Man would answer.
Su Man looked at him with only Yan Chengan’s figure in his brows and eyes, and promised him seriously.
“Okay, I will definitely attend every time you perform in the future.”
“Also, don’t I usually praise you very much? Then I remember it. Every time I praise you in my heart, I will definitely say it to you. No one is better than you.”
It may be difficult for those who haven’t watched the live performance of talented actors to understand how strong the charisma of a good actor at that time is, which makes even a calm person like Su Man’s heart beat faster.
Yan Chengan looked at the figure in Su Man’s eyes and the love in her words, and his heart also pounded faster, making him want to kiss her. I don’t want others to see it.
In the end, he couldn’t hold back, he lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly when he looked up at his raised lips, completely satisfied.
This must be his happiest moment.
He played his favorite role in his best state, won the affirmation of the audience, and also won the kiss of his lover.
Su Man also felt that her heart was beating so fast that it couldn’t stop. It was obvious that they often kissed after marriage and did many more intimate things. Why did she still feel this way when she came back once and looked at Yan Chengan.
Why did he ignore him before because of his work?
Obviously, beauty is wrong for the country, but also for her.
The two did not speak any more, but felt that their relationship with each other seemed to be a step closer than before.
“Do you have anything else to do later? We’ll have a simple dinner after changing the props and costumes. Do you want to come?”
Yan Chengan saw the classmate who seemed to be peeking at the side, controlled the corners of his mouth and eyes that were out of control, and gently asked her what she thought.
He’s duplicitous again…
But what if Su Man wanted to come? Thinking of the conversation between the two of them on the bus not long ago, even if Su Man didn’t want to be watched by so many people of the same age and the opposite sex, Yan Chengan still asked.
“I’ve got things to do tonight, and I’m in a hurry. And—do you want me to come?”
Su Man glanced at his watch and asked a rhetorical question. In fact, she came here today on a leave of absence. She really didn’t have enough time, and she was not particularly interested in participating in this kind of private gathering of classmates. If Yan Chengan really wanted her to come, she would inform Gao Jian that it would be a little later.
In fact, Yan Chengan also saw a little embarrassment in Su Man’s eyes when he asked the question.
Instead, the smile in his eyes immediately became sincere: “Then don’t go, and it’s not a party you have to go to. If you have something to do, go first, and we’ll call later in the evening.”
He didn’t like her being seen by so many people.
She doesn’t need to be accommodated or wronged for her own sake.
He just liked Su Man, like her directness and authenticity, like her indifference to others, and the special treatment only given to him.
Yan Chengan was about to take her to the door of the theater, when Su Man said, “No need to send her, I’ll go back with my mother later, you can take care of yourself.”
Yan Chengan followed Su Man’s direction and saw that his mother and a stranger seemed to be talking at the door.
“Are you calling me Mama—Mama?”
Yan Chengan didn’t expect that his mother, Professor Shi, would also quietly come to see his graduation drama, and he didn’t greet him at all, but was only seen by him standing at the door.
So, does Su Man and his mother know each other?
What happened when he didn’t know it?
Yan Chengan was at a loss. Recently, it seemed that anything related to Su Man would make his head cloudy and confused.
“No, the person next to your mother is my mother, and I will invite her to come see you.”
Su Man said indifferently that she brought her mother to see him, waved her hand and walked towards the door. Just now, she hadn’t noticed Yan Cheng’an’s mother, but she only saw it now. Then meet the parents in advance, it is also a normal operation.
No matter what she thought, this time she will treat Yan Chengan well.
Those regrets, she will do away with everything.
