red dust upside down

After all, Li Shang is Li Shang, and Su Rong hung up the phone and couldn't get through. The first reaction was to call Huang Lei, contact the property, and not let anyone leave his house.

He knew that even if Su Rong left him, he would definitely not leave Xiaomai behind.

But when he called home, the nanny Mai picked up the phone. In fact, apart from being responsible for paying the money, Li Shang had no communication at all with the nanny Rita had found, nor did they say a word.He said it was a misfortune in his childhood, but in fact, the servants never stopped. Even in the private middle school, there was a dormitory supervisor who changed and washed the sheets every week, so he had a kind of indifference to the extreme calmness, unlike some upstarts who always want to be domineering , It's not like Su Rong, who always feels a little uncomfortable when being served by others, and she is counted as one of the drinks, which makes both parties uncomfortable.

Li Shang was calm even when he called her: "Is Mr. Su back?"

"No."

"Please look at Mai Mai, if Mr. Su comes back, call me directly."

"Okay." The nanny hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But Mr. Su just called back and asked Mai to answer."

"what did you say?"

"I went to heat the milk, but I didn't hear it."

It was after one o'clock in the morning when Mai received the call from Su Rong. He already had experience in this matter and knew that Su Rong would leave as soon as he called, otherwise he would definitely come back and tell him a bedtime story.In addition to being woken up, I was a little unhappy immediately, rubbing my eyes, and called Dad.

But Su Rong's tone was never like this time: "Xiaomai, Dad is going on a long trip."

Mai Mai woke up immediately. He was actually like Su Rong when he was a child. He had the sensitivity of a small animal. When he sensed danger, he was about to make a fuss: "I don't want it."

"Dad is going to go for a longer time this time, so he can't bring Xiaomai with him."

"Why!" Mai Mai quickly proved to himself: "I can stay in a hotel with my dad and use a tablet to attend classes like before."

"But Maimai is in kindergarten now, so I can't just suspend school. And this time I have to travel a long way. There are no hotels in many places, and it's not suitable for children. I can't eat well and sleep well. If Maimai gets sick on the road, it will be very uncomfortable. .” Su Rong still persuaded him patiently, but her tone was tired: “Besides, Dad’s condition is not good now, so Mai might be worried. If children worry too much, they won’t grow taller.”

The last sentence is a joke, but it's not funny, because it's the truth, he's been a little out of his mind for the past half month, and even Mai Mai has become more obedient, which is the kind of "sensible" look that Su Rong least wants.There is a nanny at home, everything is the best, he can play kindergarten well, and he has made many new friends, and it is the last time to learn a new mother tongue. He is almost six years old, and it is easy to learn languages ​​again. It is too difficult to have a sense of language like a mother tongue.

In fact, these are just reasons. In the past, no matter where he went, he would take wheat with him, because he grew up like this, sleeping on the sofa in various backstage dressing rooms, eating boxed lunches, eating various celebrities and The snacks fed by the staff still look healthy, warm and pure...

But he has no confidence.

He doesn't think this is the best way to grow up. What's the use of love? In their words, how much is love worth?Can it be eaten or can it be used to generate electricity?He loved Adam like a family member for 20 years, which didn't stop Adam from hating him to the core.As for Li Shang...

He is the defeated Don Quixote, who sat under the windmill and suddenly realized that he had been dreaming for so many years.The most ridiculous thing is that he has never read Don Quixote's book, but only heard the story.

If he had seen Don Quixote, if he knew who Akira Kurosawa was, maybe Li Shang would not have gone to Qin Jianjia's room.

Mai Mai also noticed his discouragement, knew that it was irreversible, and immediately started to make a fuss. It took Su Rong a lot of time to develop his character of crying whenever he wanted to, crying loudly into the phone: "I No! I want to go with Dad! I'm not afraid of getting sick, I'm brave, I can take care of you..."

The nanny who was going to heat the milk hurried over to comfort him. In fact, she was also the reason why Su Rong put the wheat at home. The nanny was much more professional than him in many aspects, and even told bedtime stories better.The social Darwinian indifference of Li businessmen is actually right. Money can't buy everything, but it can buy most things, including the best part.

"Wheat." Su Rong only comforted him softly: "Go to school well, don't bully your classmates, the nanny will take care of you, and Yi Zhan will go to you later, if Li Shang loses his temper with you, he won't be afraid of him, The babysitter's salary is paid in advance by Dad for one year..."

"Are you going to come back in a year?" Mai Mai was too scared to cry.

"No. Dad will come back as soon as possible, I promise you." He answered seriously.

"Then can I call you? Is this the number, I can remember..."

He is too smart, he already guessed that Su Rong had quarreled with Li Shang, so he would not leave his number for Li Shang to look for.He also knew that Su Rong was going to leave, so he stopped making trouble, and tried to reassure Su Rong: "Li Shang will not lose his temper with me."

"I know."

They are a big lion and a little lion, like beasts with exactly the same habits, and even wheat's immature values ​​are similar to Li Shang's.Outsiders saw that Li Shang was rude to Mai, but Mai Mai was actually very close to Li Shang in his heart, and would even instinctively learn from him how to survive in this world. This scene once gave Su Rong the illusion.But in fact there is no warmth factor at all, it is just a survival strategy of human cubs.

"Now, Maimai, please pass the phone to the nanny, Dad has something to tell her."

Mai Mai reluctantly handed over the phone, and then said: "Dad, you want to come back, don't lie to me."

"it is good."

After Su Rong finished talking with the nanny, she hung up the phone and returned the phone to Lin Sa. Lin Sa, who was more chic than him, tore it into pieces and threw it into a plastic bag.

"Don't worry, Yi Zhan has a lot of free time in the first half of the year. He is more suitable for raising wheat than you are now." He said lightly: "It will be even worse when Pei Yin comes back."

"I know." Su Rong didn't say anything, but suddenly leaned over and leaned his head against his leg. He seemed to be extremely tired and didn't feel anything anymore. The lights are off.This is a very big car, even bigger than the nanny car in the studio. Su Rong's co-pilot is much wider than the seat of an ordinary car. If it is bright outside at this time, the sun can shine on the car The appearance of the interior, from the front seat to the sofa in the back, the foldable bed, and even a bathroom and a kitchenette.

"Let's go." Lin Sa said softly.

"it is good."

Instead of waiting for Su Rong who came to pick up the wheat, Li Shang waited for Yi Zhan instead.

In the first half of the film and television winter, he had a lot of free time. He still looked the same, with overalls and boots, and a leather jacket on top.Huang Lei opened the door, but she didn't have time to appreciate it now, she just asked Ming why she came, and then slipped by the wall to find Li Shang.

"Boss," she didn't dare to look at what Li Shang was checking on the computer, but said with a cute face, "Brother Rong's senior brother is here to pick up Mai."

"What wheat are you picking up?" Li Shang's face sank like water.

He has been like this since last night. He didn't say a word the whole night. Huang Lei has been with him for three years.For the first time, I felt scared because I didn't know what he would do next.Humans actually have an intuition for danger.

"My sister is going on a long trip and asked me to help him raise his son for a while." Yi Zhan answered his words in a frank voice.

"I'm not dead yet." Li Shang answered him like this.

While speaking, Mai Mai had already run out. He was about to go to kindergarten, was eating breakfast, and had a milky mustache. When he saw Yi Zhan, he wanted to run over, but Li Shang grabbed him by the collar and lifted him aside.

"You can't do this." Yi Zhan laughed: "You have to be nice to Mai."

"nonsense."

Mai Mai raised her head, wandered between the two tall figures for a while, and finally made a decision: "I want to be with Li Shang, and I want to wait for my father to come back."

"I'm sad." Yi Zhan clutched his chest and sighed, smiled and stretched out his hand to rub his hair: "I have no conscience, I'll ride a big horse for you."

Mai Mai actually likes him very much. Mai Mai has been following Su Rong. Although he is kind and warm, he is still different from Yi Zhan.A person like Yi Zhan is like a hero on TV, open and sunny, a bright color that makes people have no reason to trust.In fact, he is somewhat similar to Li Shang and Mai Mai in some ways, but in the end they parted ways, as if he chose a different road with them at the double fork.Some small things are similar to Li Shang's character, so I can see his embarrassment, and while teasing Mai Mai, he casually told him: "Don't worry, my sister can't run away for a few months. It was the same when I was angry with us before, and I couldn't eat in hiding." Don’t eat, he can hide very well, you can’t find it even if you look for it, and he will come out when you stop looking for it.”

But let alone a few months, Li Shang hoped that he would not hide for a day. Why did he fight when he was here?Thinking about it now, even when the quarrel was the most intense, at least Su Rong was still within his reach.

Those insignificant wins and losses, a little bit of persistence and self-esteem made them torture each other day and night.Now he gained a lot of self-esteem, but lost all Su Rong.

But that's just the beginning, he knows.

Amao received that call on Friday.

As one of the "Five Tigers of Huatian" back then, now that he is in Baili Media, he is still a veteran of the company. Everyone in the company knows to look for "Teacher Amao" when they mention data.In fact, his life is a bit boring and autistic, because he is a technical nerd, the language is not very good, and the social circle is narrow. He just chats with Rita and the others in the Huatian era. Most of the time, he still hides He's a geek in an office full of computer screens.

That's why he was so surprised when he received this call. The caller was beyond his expectation. He was a celebrity, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the biggest cash cow of Baili Media.What's more, a month ago, he and Rita's studio signed a few newcomers, and now they are in full swing.

But why did Li Shang call him?

Amao also knew the gossip inside the company, including emotional disputes, and vaguely guessed the reason, so he picked it up and directly connected it to the computer and transferred it to the headset, but what surprised him was that there was a child's voice, which sounded nothing more than Five or six years old, still crying.

"Ah...Mr. Mao, my conch is dying."

"what?"

His native language is Cantonese, but he can understand Mandarin, but it's always a bit weird when he speaks it.The kid didn't know if he understood, but he was very clever. He introduced himself to him with a crying voice: "I, I'm Xiaomai. My father said that I can learn how to raise conch from you. My conch is dying. Can you teach me?" ?”

In fact, Amao has already guessed the identity of the child. Compared with Li Shang, he is more familiar with the child's nominal father, and even helped him get the admission application.Knowing how difficult it is to get into that kindergarten, I asked in English, "Did you call me from Lishang's phone?"

"Yes." Maimai cried and replied in English: "Can you come and help me look at my conch? It hasn't moved since yesterday, and it won't eat when I feed it, woo woo woo..."

Amao didn't know why he wanted to join in the fun—especially since he was still very aware of Li Shang's bad temper.In fact, he has never met Li Shang, but when it comes to understanding, I am afraid that Rita will give him three points.The preservation of archives in the United States has always been very good. As long as you know the method, you can get the archives of a middle school ten years ago. When Li Shang debuted, he sorted out the background checks, including his experience in middle school.When the article saying he was an anti-social personality came out, Amao read it carefully, but of course his perspective was different.

He doesn't know if he is anti-social or not, but he knows how bad-tempered this person is.

But he still came to the door with his own seawater tank and tools. Li Shang lives in Xinghai, and the top floor of PH is double-storey. The acquaintance belonged to Jin Yunsen's family, and he recognized him immediately.He often said that his brain is like a computer, not for nothing.

Wheat is much longer than the photo on the adoption papers. Although it is still weird, it is the kind of weirdness that is beautiful among mixed-race children.His eyes were red from crying, and he squatted in front of a large fish tank in the living room, with a lot of equipment and manuals next to it. When he saw it, Amao couldn't help feeling that celebrities were still good at making money, and this equipment was enough to raise a coral reef.

But there was nothing in the fish tank, only a half-dead conch. Seeing that Mai Mai was in a hurry, Ah Mao comforted him, checked the conch, and told him that the water temperature was too high, but the sea doesn’t need to be so hot.

"I've said it before, but I just don't understand it. It's almost [-] degrees. Do you want to cook conch soup?" a voice said coldly.

Sure enough, it is the bad temper in the impression, and also the good looks in the impression. Amao has heard many rumors about him in the past month, but he only feels that this person is more dazzling than in the impression, like a sword that has been sharpened to the sharpest point. The look, while attractive, was not a good sign after all.

Wheat was told by him, but he pretended he couldn't hear it. He put the conch in the way of Amao very preciously, touched its shell, and talked to it in a babbling manner.The nanny came to entertain Amao and offered him a drink. Amao got up, sat down on the sofa, and calmly looked at this "home" in the center of entertainment rumors.

Mai Mai had a conversation with the conch, ignored Li Shang, turned around and went to the side, pulled out a phone from somewhere, and said, "I want to call my father and tell him that the conch is not dead."

Amao glanced at the nanny in surprise. The nanny's usual look made him suspect that his eyes had made a mistake.

Li Shang became irritable when he saw Mai Mai like this. This little monster was like a mentally handicapped person. He took out the toy phone without a wire, and called Su Rong chatteringly, telling about his mentally handicapped experience in the kindergarten, his child's After the small gang was disbanded by him, everyone became equal friends...

Although Amao also clearly saw that the phone was not wired and was obviously a toy, but it is not unusual for a child of this age to have two imaginary friends, so he just smiled.Who knew that Li Shang would suddenly grab his phone and not let him call.Even knowing that he has always had a bad temper, this is too cruel.

"Don't get mad here, Su Rong can't answer your call at all, he doesn't want to answer our call for a long time." He not only snatched Mai Mai's phone away, but also exposed his fantasy.

Mai Mai's eyes turned red immediately, and she stared at him fiercely, then suddenly clenched her fists and shouted at him, "It's all your fault! The conch is dead, and my father will be very angry when he comes back."

"The conch was killed by you mentally retarded, it's none of my business."

Mai Mai didn't seem to listen at all, and just rushed towards him. Li Shang was tall, so he could only hit Li Shang's leg, and yelled at Li Shang with a crying voice: "It's all you, it's all you!" You're the one who pissed my dad off, you bastard! I'm never going to learn from you again, you're an idiot. My dad ain't coming back, he's never going to see you again..."

Amao didn't expect this turn of events either. He was about to go up and pull the wheat away, but stopped when he stood up.

The bad-tempered Li Shang in his memory was not angry with Mai Mai, he just remained motionless, allowing him to punch and kick his legs, and only picked him up when Mai had vented and had no strength left.Mai Mai was still crying, sobbing non-stop, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would believe it - Li Shang was just like Su Rong before, stroking his back and comforting him, waiting for him to calm down completely.

The expression on his face was so calm that he couldn't even feel a trace of emotion.But for some reason, Amao always felt that he seemed very sad, like something was quietly breaking apart inside the solid sculpture.

Tong Xiaojia arrived a week later.

She called Li Shang in advance and said that she had something to say, and Huang Lei transferred the call. She was actually very afraid that she would be entangled like Qin Jianjia. After all, there have been rumors in this circle recently, all about Li Shang's, it means first come, first served.

But Tong Xiaojia seemed to be just talking about something this time, maybe because Li Shang's attitude was also very indifferent, she entered the studio and said directly: "There is something, I think you need to see it."

"What?" Li Shang was looking at the newcomer's film and television contract.

Tong Xiaojia glanced around, Huang Lei went out knowingly, through the glass wall, she saw her take out a tablet, as if to show Li Shang a video.

"At the Baile Festival, Cheng Man and Yan Siyun fought in the ring and rushed to open the afterparty. There was an official one, and she made another one in the backstage. In fact, Yan Siyun had already guessed that the room was originally the master control room, and there were surveillance cameras. , She got the surveillance. I wanted to shoot something else, you know Cheng Man has been getting very close to Yang Fan and his group, they are all a little unclean, and they are also taking drugs..."

"Speak the key."

"Su Rong also went to that party that night, and something happened. Yan Siyun copied this video to me. I watched it and thought you should too."

She didn't wait for Li Shang to answer, and clicked on the video. Li Shang's expression was very indifferent, it was just a feast of entertainment in the entertainment industry, and she thought so when she first watched it.When Su Rong's figure appeared in the camera, his expression was instantly moved.Tong Xiaojia looked at it, not knowing what it was like.

He could recognize Su Rong at the first sight.

The wine table on the screen was knocked down by someone, and the wine glass shattered to the ground. The person who fell struggled in the debris. He was very embarrassed and couldn’t get up. The glass shards hurt very much. From the picture, one can imagine the laughter at that time.And that person just got up silently and walked out of the screen.

Tong Xiaojia didn't know why, but suddenly didn't dare to look at his expression.

When she watched it, she always had the urge to kill. She couldn't imagine how Li Shang felt when he saw this scene.
