Until the starlight [entertainment circle]

Yue Haonan had no contact with Zheng Tao before, including the matter of framing Zheng Tao for taking drugs, which was all handled by Yisi. He only proposed a plan and did not intervene.But he had long heard that Zheng Tao was arrogant and domineering, but he didn't expect to meet him today, but he was just an extremely ordinary man.

Zheng Tao bought a small cup of the cheapest clear coffee and sat opposite Yue Haonan. Yue Haonan originally wanted to treat him to eat, but he was determined not to, and Yue Haonan didn't insist anymore.

"When did you come to the United States?" Yue Haonan really didn't know what to talk to him, but he kept silent and embarrassed, so he chatted casually.

"It came in early March this year." Zheng Tao took a sip of steaming clear coffee and let out a sigh of relief.

"I came at the end of March."

"Well, I know about you, alas..."

For some reason, Zheng Tao's sigh pierced Yue Haonan's heart, bleeding profusely.

"Mr. Yue..."

"Just call me Haonan."

"Well, Haonan, do you and Lin Yi... really love each other?"

Yue Haonan was a little dazed. In the past, he would have said yes without thinking, but now, he no longer has the courage to say "yes".

Seeing Yue Haonan fell silent, Zheng Tao sighed again, and said slowly: "Hao Nan, looking at you like this, I probably guessed that you still don't know the truth of the matter. In fact, everything Lin Yi did was forced and helpless. What he thinks in his heart is only you from the beginning to the end."

"Why do you know this?"

"Lin Yi's assistant, Gongsun, is my childhood sweetheart. She told me everything a long time ago. When the situation became serious, the company was forced to make such a bad move. It hoped that Lin Yi's marriage would calm public opinion, and At that time, Xiao Ke was pregnant with my child. In order to give birth to the child in a legitimate way, Xiao Ke agreed to a false marriage with Lin Yi. After all, I was too incompetent to give her a title..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Yue Haonan was a little confused, "You said Xiao Ke's child is yours? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I went to see Xiao Ke once after I was released from prison at the end of February. According to the time calculation, it should be at that time."

"But Lin Yi said..."

"Everything Lin Yi said was to make you give up. At that time, his mother was critically ill. The old lady said that she would not agree to the operation before she saw Lin Yi get married. And at that time, Qishan Media was in critical condition. Everyone in the company is staring at Lin Yi, and the burden on Lin Yi's shoulders is too heavy, so he finally chose to give up on you and become the majority."

Yue Haonan was completely stunned, staring at Zheng Tao's opening mouth and couldn't say a word.

"Hao Nan, most of the time we can't help ourselves, just like me, even though Xiao Ke and I have been in love for so many years, her parents don't agree with her marrying me, a former singer who doesn't have a house, a car, and a criminal record. So in the end, we had to rely on fake marriages to give birth to our children, which is probably what people often say, 'There is no destiny'... Alas, good luck tricks people."

Zheng Tao took another sip of coffee, and then said: "But life always goes on, the harder you work, the luckier you are. Although I am poor now, I believe that sooner or later the songs I write will be recognized by the American public. Often fate The transformation happened in an instant, just like when I was slandered by people for taking drugs, I was completely hopeless. Suddenly, a benefactor fell from the sky, not only reduced my sentence, but also helped me find Xiao Ke immediately after I was released from prison. He also helped me get a visa to come to the United States, so never lose faith in life, and good things will always happen if you stick to it.”

Yue Haonan frowned slightly, and asked, "What's your benefactor's name?"

"Iss, that's what everyone calls him, but I don't know if that's his real name."

"Iss?! Why did Iss help you like this?!"

"Eh?" Zheng Tao was taken aback by Yue Haonan who suddenly became agitated, "I don't know either..."

Whim?No, it's impossible, everything Yisi does is meaningful, and he will never waste his time and energy in vain...

Wait a minute, Zheng Tao said that he went to look for Xiao Ke when he got out of prison at the end of February, so he was sure that the child belonged to him. Could it be that... Everything was arranged by Yisi?

Helping Zheng Tao commute his sentence and make him trust himself, then take him to find Xiao Ke, so that Xiao Ke can become pregnant, and finally, by planning that good show, drive Lin Yi and Qishan Media to a dead end, so that Lin Yi has to marry Xiao Ke ...

Yue Haonan shuddered Lingling.

Is everything planned by Yisi?

But the video of him arguing with Amber in the private room released by Studio Fourteen later could only have been recorded by Ke Yingzhi. How could it have been made by Yisi?

It's just that before the video was released, all the Weibo posts of the Fourteenth Studio pointed the finger at Lin Yi, which almost didn't hurt Yue Haonan at all. From this point, it can be confirmed that Is was instigated, but then the situation suddenly changed, and Yue Haonan One party was caught off guard and instantly wiped out.

He firmly believed that Yi Si would not do anything against him.

Then there is only one possibility: Studio Fourteen changed its owner in the middle.

Thinking of this, the sporadic details in Yue Haonan's mind finally connected: Yisi fully planned the whole incident before his death, and drove Lin Yi to a corner step by step. In the end, he had to choose to give up his love and sacrifice for the benefit of the majority. At this time, Yi Si had already prepared for him an excellent marriage partner who was pregnant, so Lin Yi chose to marry Xiao Ke.But Yisi didn't expect that Ke Yingzhi would come out halfway. Ke Yingzhi must have used some means to obtain the Weibo account of Fourteen Studios, and then successfully brought down Yue Haonan by using those two videos. , Let Qishan Media win a big victory.

At this point, Yue Haonan finally fully recognized the target of his revenge.

After sorting out his thoughts, Yue Haonan's mood gradually calmed down. When he thought about all the things that happened, in fact, none of them existed independently. They were all inextricably linked. Changing the choice at the beginning would not end up like this now.

If he hadn't insisted on beating Xu Ran to death with a stick, but had listened to He Wanlian's words and accepted it, the subsequent charges imposed on Hu Xiaotong in order to sow discord would not have been established, and Qishan Media would not have been punished. At the end of the road, maybe Ke Yingzhi will not have the opportunity to post those two videos.

If he hadn't been so arrogant and defiant back then, and hadn't framed Zheng Tao for taking drugs just because he snatched an assistant, he wouldn't have given Yisi an opportunity, and if Zheng Tao hadn't been in jail, he wouldn't have allowed Xiao Ke to get pregnant at that critical moment. In the end, Lin Yi may not be able to marry Xiao Ke.

If he hadn't kept avoiding his relationship with Iss, if he had expressed his love for Lin Yi to Iss from the very beginning, if he could sit down and have a good chat with Iss, maybe Iss would be able to understand him, and everything behind Nothing will happen.

Suddenly remembered that Ice had asked him a word many years ago.

"Hao Nan, do you believe in cause and effect?"

At that time, they were sitting in the yard of Yisi Villa. A huge pear tree was planted in the yard. The pure white petals were falling down, and the tip of the nose was filled with elegant fragrance. In the misty flower rain, the houses and pedestrians in the distance The boundaries are blurred, like an ink painting wandering freely on rice paper.

Yue Haonan's expression was very disdainful, he was at the age of rebelliousness at that time, his eyes could not tolerate anything, and he replied without hesitation: "I don't believe it."

Iss was not surprised by his answer, and said slowly: "The reincarnation of karma follows like a shadow, and you will reap the results of whatever you plant. All the seeds you plant will bear their due fruits in the future, often seemingly nothing. Things that have no connection are all foreshadowings that have been buried long ago."

A gust of wind blew by, messing up the few strands of hair on Yisi's forehead. He had a charming smile, and there was a sadness in his eyes that Yue Haonan couldn't read.But he didn't care about that, he just regarded it as crazy words from Yisi.

Now that I think about it, this is indeed not unreasonable.

What kind of cause is planted, what kind of fruit will be reaped. It turns out that this is the truth of everything.

"Zheng Tao, do you want to join my studio?"

The brownies on the table were already completely cold, but the mellow aroma of chocolate still lingered in the air. Seeing Zheng Tao's astonished expression, Yue Haonan smiled slowly.

He already understood that what he wanted to do was not only revenge, but also redemption.

***

The endless sea, the black sea.

White foam rolls over Lin Yi's feet, at first it just barely covered his feet, but as the torrential rain poured down, the strong wind gathered dark clouds, and the sea roared, the tide rose rapidly, and soon submerged Lin Yi's neck.

The salty seawater filled Lin Yi's nostrils. He stretched his arms desperately to swim, but it seemed that there was a jack on his feet, and he couldn't float no matter what.

The fear and anxiety in his heart gradually swallowed him up, just like the endless black sea was slowly swallowing him up.

He looked up to the shore, and there was a man in black standing on a high place with his back to him.

Lin Yi yelled like crazy, calling for help to the man, but the man stood there motionless as if he hadn't heard of it, like a sculpture.

The moment the sea water flooded over Lin Yi's head, he suddenly saw the man on the shore turn around slowly.

That pale face was none other than Yue Haonan.

"Hao Nan!—"

Lin Yi opened his eyes suddenly, the sense of reality of drowning was still firmly stuck in his throat, making him almost breathless.He sat up with the support of his elbows, and slowly woke up. The familiar room was still in front of him. He subconsciously touched his chest, touched the refreshing coolness of the tail ring with his fingertips, and finally felt at ease.

He took out two sheets of toilet paper from the tissue box on the bedside table, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, picked up a coat and put it on, and opened the glass door of the balcony.

The cold November wind filled his arms, and every pore in his body was screaming, but he felt a kind of detached tranquility.

Look at the watch on your wrist by the moonlight, it's 02:30 in the morning.
