Gourmet and actor

……mom?

This long-lost title made Xiao Ke's mind go blank.

He had planned to go to the demolition office to find out the whereabouts of his parents according to the address on his ID card after filming the film, but he didn't take action for the time being because he had more and more work.

Because Yu Xiaoyue said that he had a falling out with his family because of his acting career and ran away from home.So subconsciously, he thinks that his parents are dissatisfied with him.Never thought that they would take the initiative to find themselves.

Looking at it now, after all, blood is thicker than water, maybe his parents came to him after seeing his recent situation on TV.

However, he has no memory of his parents, from their appearance to their personal names, so how can he confirm their identities?After confirming, how should we face it?

Xiao Ke had no clue, so he could only continue to remain silent.

Seeing that Xiao Ke was speechless for a long while, the woman couldn't help misunderstood, and said nervously: "Xiao Ke, mom didn't come to urge you to go back and get married...Since the demolition three years ago, the family has some money, and your father spent all of it." The dowry money has been paid off, and the marriage is over, you don't have to marry again... How have you been living outside in the past four years? It will be your 21st birthday at the end of the month, and Mom came here specially from H city, just ...wanted to see you."

Demolition, running away from home, the details of the hometown in H city on the ID card are all right.After hesitating for a while, Xiao Ke whispered, "Let's talk in another place."

"Okay." Although he didn't call mom, the woman still looked flattered.

This made Xiao Ke very upset.Combined with what the woman said just now, he vaguely realized that the reason why the original owner ran away from home back then was not necessarily because of disagreements with the parents in terms of future career planning, but probably other more serious reasons that made the parents feel guilty until now. .

"The car is over there." Xiao Ke pointed in the direction of Han Xilin.

Noticing that the car was expensive, the woman looked a little more happy, and said, "I... my friend sent me here. You drive forward, and we will follow behind."

"Alright." Xiao Ke was actually not ready to sit with her yet.Hearing this, he felt a little relieved, and walked over alone.

Han Xilin, who had been paying attention to his actions, closed the file, put the computer on the back seat, and asked casually, "Did that person ask you for a film appointment?"

"No..." The anxiety about facing the unknown made Xiao Ke's original good mood disappear.He didn't know what to say to Han Xilin for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Help me find a quiet place, I have to have a good talk with her."

Seeing his solemn expression, the smile on Han Xilin's lips disappeared unconsciously.He wanted to ask a question, but hesitated to speak, and finally only said: "Okay."

After the car drove out, a silver-gray car followed closely behind.Xiao Ke resisted the urge to look back, and kept looking at the car from the rearview mirror, trying to organize the words for the later conversation, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing his abnormality in his eyes, Han Xilin kept guessing in his mind, but never asked any questions.

Han Xilin chose a teahouse he frequented, and while waiting for the red light, he asked the lobby manager to reserve a private room in advance.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Ke couldn't hold it back, and took a look inside the car that was also braked at the back.Then it was discovered that the driver was an unattractive middle-aged man talking to the woman.The two looked intimate, and his hand was still on the woman's knee.

What kind of friend is this?Where is Xiao's father?

Countless guesses made Xiao Ke's mind even more chaotic.He simply didn't think about anything, walked into the tea room, went upstairs and sat down, without saying a word during the whole process.

Han Xilin thoughtfully did not follow in, and the man driving the car only sent the woman to the door, and there were only the two of them in the huge private room.

Seeing her son's silence again, the woman showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, and took the newly served tea and sipped it.

Xiao Ke took advantage of the situation to size her up.He didn't see it clearly in the dark just now, but now he notices that women's clothing is simple and decent, and judging from the cut of the fabric, it should be at a mid-range price.She has permed her hair and carefully put on light makeup, but her beautiful face can still see the beauty of her youth.The hand holding the teacup has delicate skin, obviously living a good life and not having to do housework.

He thinks that her financial situation should be good, so what's the matter with marrying her?

Unable to withstand his undisguised scrutiny, the woman said awkwardly: "Xiao Ke, not long after you left, the news of the demolition was announced from above. I didn't ask for a house, so I asked your father for money to buy him a lottery ticket." The two 10,000+ betrothal gifts that were spent are all paid off. I... came to City B to look for you several times, and I have been watching TV, but I have never heard from you. I contacted Director Xu several times, but he said he didn’t know Where are you? Your dad and I really can't get along, and your Uncle Hu doesn't want to wait any longer. So after two years of your disappearance, we filed for divorce. "

She spoke vaguely, and many details were obscured.Xiao Ke didn't feel comfortable asking, so he just asked, "Are you married again now?"

"Well, the divorce will be over that month." Seeing Xiao Ke's expression was indifferent, noncommittal, and not as excited as she expected, the woman couldn't help but said a few more words to defend herself, "You know, how much did your father and I say?" I had no relationship years ago. If it wasn’t for you, we would have divorced a long time ago. Hu Song has been waiting for me for so many years, and I don’t want to let him down. Xiao Ke, you didn’t understand back then, so you should be able to understand me now, right?”

From her defense, Xiao Ke has gradually pieced together a general outline of the past, but because of this, she is even more at a loss as to how to answer, so she asked: "How did you find me?"

"I came here to buy things half a year ago, and I saw you at the door of a newly renovated restaurant in the mall. At that time, I thought I had misunderstood the person. Later, I went back and checked and found that your career has improved again. I wanted to come to you, but you have been Not in City B. Until today, I knew you were coming back to record the show, so I hurried over here." The woman's tone was vaguely asking for credit.

But after hearing her words, Xiao Ke blurted out: "I became famous at the end of last year, don't you know?"

"I..." The woman smiled awkwardly, rubbed the corner of her clothes and said, "At that time...your brother was sick, and a two-year-old child should not be taken lightly when sick. I was busy taking him to the doctor, so I didn't notice it until later."

After two years of divorce, you have a two-year-old child?Xiao Ke couldn't help asking: "His surname is Hu?"

"...No matter what his surname is, he is still your brother after all. You are all born to me." The woman didn't notice his doubts, but smiled reluctantly, "Of course, if you are afraid of affecting your career and don't want to Acknowledge him, and that's up to you."

Xiao Ke felt that this was not a matter of blood relationship, but he didn't want to argue with her.After changing the subject, he asked, "Where's Dad?"

When mentioning her ex-husband, the woman felt a little resentful, "After the divorce, we almost stopped seeing each other. But according to mutual friends, he is still the same, counting lottery numbers every day like a maniac, and talking every day that he will definitely win the big prize. However, I don’t have the living expenses now, and he made a big joke when he randomly collected the dowry money, so I don’t dare to borrow any more money, and I’m saving my salary to buy lottery tickets.”

Hearing this, knowing that it was all about the past and had nothing to do with him, Xiao Ke still felt tightness in his chest and indescribably irritated.

Seeing that his expression was still indifferent, the girl's previous nervousness gradually disappeared, she lowered her head and fiddled with the cold teacup, and said, "Don't worry, I really just want to come and see you this time, and I won't ask you for money. Now we have a new family. Hu Song doesn’t have a lot of money, but it’s more than enough to support our mother and son. You... have money to buy a luxury car, and you’re famous, so you should earn a lot, right? From now on, live on your own. If you plan to start a family, Be sure to contact me."

After that, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, stood up, "goodbye."

The man was waiting for her outside the door.Seeing the door open, she hurried up to meet her and asked, "Dai Yun, why are you crying?"

"It's okay, I rubbed my eyes uncomfortable."

"You wait."

After that, the man turned around and said loudly to Xiao Ke: "Do you still remember me? I am your Uncle Hu. Your mother liked me before she got married. It was all because of a strange accident that we were not together. She wanted to maintain the family, for your The unreliable father has paid so much. As a son of man, you shouldn't stop her from pursuing happiness!"

"Hu Song!" Dai Yun panicked, and quickly came in to pull him away, "Xiao Ke didn't say anything, don't talk nonsense, let's go!"

The man half-believingly said: "You really didn't say anything? Then why are you crying?"

"It's uncomfortable to tell you all. Do you think Xiao Ke is still the kid who ran to your unit and made a scene? He—he didn't say anything, so he must understand my difficulties."

Only then did the man feel relieved, and smoothed things over for himself, "That's good. Xiao Ke, I'm sorry, uncle misunderstood you. When you are free, welcome to uncle's house to play."

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Ke seemed to stay out of the matter, without saying a word.

Sitting in another private room opposite, Han Xilin, who had been paying attention to this side, waited for the couple to leave and just wanted to go there.Seeing that Xiao Ke took out his mobile phone and closed the door behind his back, he could only sit down again.

Xiao Ke broadcast Director Xu's number, and after a while, a familiar voice came from the other end: "Xiao Xiao, have you decided to come and have supper with us?"

As the winner of the top ten TV shows, Director Xu also participated in the national drama festival tonight, and now he is eating and chatting with his old friends.

"No...Director Xu, I just want to ask you, when I left home four years ago, did I--mom contact you?"

"...Wait a minute, I'll tell you outside." Changing to a quieter place, Director Xu asked, "Did your parents find you?"

Xiao Ke replied vaguely, "Yes."

"It was their fault that year. In order to pay back the money, they actually wanted you to marry without your consent, and they even took other people's gift money first. How is this different from selling your son? And your father set it up for you without authorization. That fiancée, not to mention being born with a disability, is several years older than you. It all depends on the family's wealth, and she wants to find a son-in-law who doesn't care about her shortcomings and is obedient. Qing, actually wants to send you, who just graduated from high school, to her home for a little money. Is this something a parent should do?"

Although many years have passed, Director Xu still got angry when he mentioned it, "Your mother said that she persuaded your father. But I think it's completely insincere, just to deal with it casually. I deliberately suggested her to call the police, but she actually said that she was afraid of the truth. It’s embarrassing, it’s hard for the whole family to behave. She also said that anyway, you are such a big person, and you used to be out of town when you were filming. You can take care of yourself, and she can rest assured if you don’t contact your family for the time being. Look at what she said! Her old friend is on her. Back then you asked me to hide it from them. I originally disagreed, but after contacting your mother, I changed my mind. If they found you at that time, you might really have to be a door-to-door son-in-law gone."

Director Xu didn't know about the various changes in the Xiao family.Speaking of this, he warned again: "Xiao Xiao, if they come to you to reconcile, you must make it clear first. You must not let them do similar stupid things again, and drag you back to add trouble to you."

All kinds of details are not very different from what Xiao Ke guessed.Although he had a premonition, but after being confirmed by Director Xu himself, he still felt depressed.

To avoid Director Xu's worry, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I know. In fact, they didn't say anything, they just let me have a good time."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Dai Yun asked him to remember to contact him when he got married, but did not leave any communication method.
