"You're my friend, of course I care about you."

Si Lianghua helped her a lot.

The man chuckled, his voice ending in a slight upward sound, "Okay, I've taken note of your instructions."

Even if it's for her.

Lin Man looked up at the starless sky and asked nonchalantly, "Mr. Si, if this drama fails, will you lose money?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly? Did something happen to the crew?"

Si Lianghua's eyes turned, and there was a sudden sharpness in his gaze behind the lenses. He originally wanted to ask if something had happened to her on the crew, but when the words came to his lips, a hint of bitterness surged in his heart, and he had no position to speak.

"No, I'm just a little... worried about the ratings."

After hearing Lin Man's words, Si Lianghua felt relieved, thinking that she was just afraid that no one would know her after the drama was filmed.

He smiled, his tone gentle, his voice warm and clear, and he began to encourage Lin Man.

"Manman, you don't need to worry about this. In my heart, you have always done well. I believe that you can get more opportunities and everyone's love with your outstanding performance."

"Okay." Lin Man smiled, her fair little face was beautiful under the moonlight. His words were always so warm and encouraging.

There was another burst of noise on the other end of the phone, and Si Lianghua's voice was drowned out by the crowd. He said something hurriedly and hung up the phone.

Lin Man vaguely heard the last two words, "Wait... for me?"

What did Si Lianghua say?

The phone call was hung up. Lin Man looked at the quiet sky and smiled happily. She had been worried about whether something had happened to Si Lianghua. Now, after the call, she felt relieved to see that he was not seriously ill as the crew had said and could not return home.

....

On the day when the filming of Allure was finished, Pei Yan came to the crew.

Lin Man thought he was here to pick up Gan Tian, ​​so she walked past him carrying her luggage without even raising her eyes.

Her car had crashed again since it left the 4S shop last time. She wiped the sweat off her forehead, took out her phone and started to hail a taxi.

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man's actions and his face darkened. This woman couldn't see him coming!

"Lin Man!" Pei Yan spoke in a deep voice, looking at the woman who was holding her cell phone and looking around.

Looking at the 337 people queuing up in front of him on the screen, Lin Man frowned slightly, feeling a little impatient. With a perfunctory tone, he pointed to the hut with a Hello Kitty sticker on the door.

"Boss Pei, the person you are looking for is in that room."

As soon as Lin Man finished speaking, Pei Yan's eyes darkened and his face became even gloomier.

Lin Man felt a chill on her spine as she was stared at by a sharp and cold gaze!

She turned around and looked at Pei Yan with a puzzled look, and asked tentatively: "You... came to see me?"

Pei Yan's expression finally eased a little. He glanced at Lin Man with his dark and deep eyes. This woman was not stupid enough to die.

"Mom knows you're wrapping up today, so she asked me to take you out for dinner."

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan with a strange look in her eyes. Why did he listen to Pei's mother so much today? Could it be a Hongmen Banquet?

Lin Man didn't want to go, so she politely declined, "Boss Pei, I have an audition scheduled this afternoon, and I'm not very hungry, so you should take someone else to eat."

After Lin Man finished speaking, Pei Yan's expression, which had originally relaxed a little, became gloomy again, as if he felt that she had wasted his time.

"If you don't want to go, just call mom and tell her yourself."

Pei Yan handed the connected phone to Lin Man. Lin Man was startled and quickly hung up the call, turned around and looked at Pei Yan with a smile.

"Boss Pei, I'm suddenly a little hungry again. Let's go eat."

Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man with his dark eyes, and walked out without saying a word. Lin Man followed Pei Yan, and the two got into the car one after the other.

Lin Man leaned her head against the window, looking at the scenery outside, a little absent-minded. Pei Yan looked at the woman who was about to stuff carrots into her nostrils and said in a deep voice, "Eat well!"

Lin Man retracted her gaze and glared at Pei Yan, what a double-standard man, he was still talking about her, but he was still looking at his phone, was he afraid of missing the message from Gan Tian?

After the meal, Pei Yan took out a pocket watch, looked at it, and went out first, and Lin Man followed him into the car.

The car slowly drove out of the bustling city, and street vendors kept shouting about their wares.

Lin Man was looking out the window casually, and was suddenly attracted by two familiar figures!

She stared at the two people outside the window and patted Pei Yan's arm, her voice sounding somewhat urgent!

"Stop! Stop the car quickly!"

He Sheng didn't move, but the car just happened to stop slowly at the red light.

Lin Man stretched out her hand to open the car door, but Pei Yan grabbed her wrist. He glanced out the window indifferently, his deep eyes dark and unclear.

"Lin Man, don't go and kill yourself again."

There was a warning in the deep tone.

Lin Man looked out the window at Zhao's mother who had fallen to the ground. She shook off Pei Yan's hand, opened the door, got out of the car, and ran towards Zhao Yao and his mother.

He Sheng glanced at Pei Yan cautiously in the rearview mirror, then silently withdrew his gaze, trying to reduce his presence.

"What's going on?" Lin Man ran over and saw Zhao Yao lying on Zhao's mother and crying!

There was no one living around, only weeds and dilapidated bungalows. This was the suburbs, so how did Zhao Yao end up here?

After hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Yao raised his head blankly with tears in his eyes. Seeing that the person was Lin Man, he seemed to have found his roots as if a plankton floating on the sea had found its roots. He could no longer hold back and pulled Lin Man and started crying again!

Lin Man looked at Zhao Yao helplessly and patted his shoulder. "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhao Yao choked up a little, but his emotions calmed down a lot after seeing Lin Man. He had a decadent look on his face, moved his lips, and spoke after a long time.

"Manman, my family...is bankrupt."

After not seeing him for a month, the boy's back had been bent by the cruelty of life. The death of Zhao's mother became the last straw that broke the camel's back. He was no longer the same as when we first met, the high-spirited boy who rushed to class with his girlfriend on the campus of A University.

"Don't worry, send aunt to the hospital first."

Lin Man turned around and looked at the place where she got off the car. Pei Yan's car had disappeared. She took out her cell phone and called the emergency number. The ambulance arrived quickly and took everyone to the hospital.

Familiar ward, familiar Haishi Hospital. Lin Man handed Zhao Yao a amulet that she had asked for in the mountain temple last time, then sat down, looked at him and said, "What's going on? Tell me."

Zhao Yao glanced at the unconscious mother Zhao and slowly said, "I don't know what happened. After I said goodbye to you in the hospital last time, I took my mother back to the house I rented in Hai City. I thought that since she had just recovered from a serious illness, I could take care of her more by her side."

"Everything was fine until a week ago. My company's orders began to be frequently intercepted. Accidents also occurred in construction projects that used my building materials. Many people died. Many companies sued my family and demanded compensation. My mother returned to the company that day, but there was not a penny left on the books!"

"It turned out that my second uncle had absconded with the money. He took away all the money, and the company was left with an empty shell! Now we are facing a huge debt crisis, and all the deeds of my family's properties have been frozen! My mother fainted on the spot, and I rushed over and took her back to Hai City...but I couldn't afford the hospital bills."
