After being forced to do business with my ex-boyfriend, I became popular

Speeding all the way to the hospital, Xie Shiyu got rid of all the unknown vehicles.

After Jiang Ruan was settled in the ward, he felt that he was drenched in sweat and woke up again from a faint. His emotions were a little out of control. He could only hug him and give him a calming injection before falling into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, his fingertips trembled and convulsed, Xie Shiyu said nothing, he clenched his hands tightly, smoothed his fingers, wiped the sweat from his palms and forehead, his hair stuck to his cheeks, and he had a haggard, pale face.

He didn't have time to listen to Jiang Nan's details just now, he only heard him asking where Jiang Ruan was. When he raised his head, the media and entertainment reporters outside the movie palace flooded in like a tide. His intuition was wrong, and he rushed to the parking lot, only to find that Jiang Ruan was blocked outside the car door. The spotlight is dazzling.

"He fell asleep?" Jiang Nan gently pushed open the door of the ward with his bag in his hand.

"Well," Xie Shiyu replied in a low voice, stroked Jiang Ruan's wet temples with his palm, and asked with a frown, "What's going on?"

The incident was caught off guard, and Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment. He didn't get any news in advance. The other party didn't seem to be planning to communicate with them. It wasn't for asking for money, but just to discredit Jiang Ruan, or he had other plans.

"Look at this first." Jiang Nan handed the phone to Xie Shiyu.

The Yanning International Film Festival has always presented awards live on the entire network. Jiang Ruan won the Best Supporting Actor award for the movie "Tang Xia", and presented the award to Wu Chi, which became a hot search.

Three minutes later, a newly registered account suddenly posted a Weibo with the topic, questioning how he deserved to win an award because he had intentionally hurt someone, and he could also star in a criminal investigation movie like "White Night Tracking".

He was not empty-handed, and he even included a photo of him lying on a stretcher covered in blood, looking seriously injured.

When Jiang Ruan became popular, someone picked up on his family background, not to mention Jiang Chen himself is also a director in the circle, even if the news was not so developed back then, there were still many interviews and records left.

After adding fuel to the flames, it was soon discovered that the person in the photo looked familiar, and it was probably Jiang Ruan's uncle.

Then it's not a rumor that has nothing to do with Jiang Ruan.

Several marketing accounts issued drafts at the same time, and soon, the popularity of #江罗意思伤人# rose, and the hot search on the top was followed by a crimson explosive word. The bottom of the hot search was stunned, confused, dubious, and fish in troubled waters saying Jiang Ruan Finally, the car overturned and turned into a mess.

"It's already under pressure..." Jiang Nan said, "But if you don't know what's going on, you can only wait for Jiang Ruan to wake up, and you can't explain it rashly."

Worst of all, what that account said was not entirely a lie.

"I see," it had only snowed, the night was dark, and the wards on this floor of the hospital were extremely quiet. Xie Shiyu held Jiang Ruan's hand to prevent him from moving around. He had an infusion needle inserted in the back of his hand, and was always there. Unconscious convulsions, blood backflow, "Go back first."

After finishing speaking, Xie Shiyu added, "It's good to deal with it coldly for the time being. The other party should have more than that. Let him continue to explode."

Jiang Nan nodded, then turned and left, she had to rush to the company to keep an eye on the PR department.

I'm afraid it's going to be a little tough tonight.

Xu Xiaozhou went to pay the fee and came back. Xie Shiyu was lowering his head and wet Jiang Ruan's lips with a cotton swab. Do you live alone? There is no one else at home?"

"...No," Xu Xiaozhou was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this, and said, "He has always lived by himself."

Xie Shiyu's Adam's apple rolled, and his heart seemed to be clenched and pierced in an instant. Jiang Ruan was confused, and the bed sheet under him was soaked in cold sweat. He struggled in a daze and almost knocked over the infusion stand.

Xie Shiyu couldn't bear to use force on him, so he could only lean over and hug him tightly, stroking his shoulder little by little.

Rumors spread rapidly, and the evidence that that account produced one after another is enough to prove that Jiang Ruan had intentionally hurt him with a knife. He claimed that he had to stay in the hospital for three months after the injury before he could get out of bed, and even had sequelae. Inconvenient legs and feet.

The heat just dropped a little bit, when Jiang Ruan's former manager, Huo Li, who had resigned from the company, suddenly followed up with a long post.

He didn't name them, but at this juncture, it was clear who he was implying.

In the long article, he first corroborated the statement of that account, which is true, and then eloquently accused the artists under him of playing big names, messing around and unwilling to follow the company's announcement arrangements, and often let a group of staff turn their faces and leave. chat record.

In the chat record, Huo Li asked Jiang Ruan, 【The whole program team is waiting for you, so you just left?When can I come back? ? ? 】

【Not going. ] Jiang Ruan replied.

……

In addition, his private life was chaotic. As a manager, he wanted to remind him many times, but he couldn't open his mouth.

"I have been an agent for more than ten years, and now I leave this circle, I can't help but want to say a few things that I didn't dare to say before. An agent can help set up marketing personnel, but what kind of person am I? You still have to make it clear in your heart, right?"

Immediately afterwards, some fans posted blog posts, questioning whether Jiang Ruan had just shot a gay movie that couldn't be released as soon as he became famous.

Moreover, he has not responded to the incident of violence and injury for a long time, as well as the scandal about private life mentioned by Huo Li. I hope he can respond as soon as possible.

For a while, there was an uproar, many people called to inquire, and Jiang Ruan's cell phone kept ringing.

Xie Shiyu is not familiar with all of Jiang Ruan's friends in the circle. For the time being, he only answered Liu Zhongda's call, saying that Jiang Ruan is fine at the moment. Xie Shiyu apologized to Wu Chi.

"It's okay," Wu Chi said hastily, "I just saw that the people who blocked me just now were all reporters... Speaking of which, something was wrong during the interview at the premiere a while ago, but I didn't think so much at the time."

"Do you remember which media outlets it was?" Xie Shiyu asked.

Wu Chi said: "Remember, I'll send you right away."

"Thank you."

When he hung up the phone, Luo Xin called again.

"...If you need help, just ask," Luo Xin said to him, "I don't know if his beating is true or not, but you can try to find Jiang Ruan for the chat records on Huo Li's side. Whether there is a full version or not is not the case."

"Okay." Xie Shiyu said.

"When is the studio planning to send a clarification?" Luo Xin said, "I'll forward it when the time comes."

"Thank you, but don't involve too many people in this muddy water for the time being," Xie Shiyu saw Jiang Ruan's eyebrows frowned slightly, wondering if he was about to wake up, and lowered his voice, "I don't care about a day or two, Since they want to fish in troubled waters and release unwarranted black material, I can find witnesses and evidence, and have a showdown together."

The mobile phone is temporarily suspended.

Xie Shiyu hugged Jiang Ruan, leaned over and kissed his pale and dry lips, pressed against his clenched teeth, and sipped some water to feed him.

Jiang Ruan's breathing was so light that he couldn't see the rise and fall of his chest. His hands and feet were cold. Xie Shiyu rubbed his hands in his arms to warm him up, but his forehead was hot, and he developed a high fever under the stimulation of exhaustion and emotional anxiety.

When there was a little blood on Jiang Ruan's lips, Xie Shiyu stood up and found the memory card that Jiang Ruan had snatched from Luo Zheng some time ago. For the photo of the brooch, Xie Shiyu's eyes darkened, but he remained calm.

"You keep watch over him, and contact me as soon as you wake up." Xie Shiyu said to Xu Xiaozhou.

He picked up his mobile phone and went out, it was not too late, he wanted to call Cao Pingan, if even Luo Xin didn't know, this was probably the only person who knew.

Before he could find the number on Jiang Ruan's phone, the screen suddenly lit up, and Cao Pingan called first.

Xie Shiyu immediately picked it up, "Teacher Cao?"

The news on the Internet spread too fast, and Cao Pingan was watching the awards ceremony on TV tonight, and he also browsed some webpages after the end. He was almost the first to hear the news, and wanted to ask at that time, but his heart was not good. Great, my heart palpitations for a long time.

Xie Shiyu still remembered the address of Cao Ping'an's home, which was not far from the hospital, so he drove there.

The wheels ran over the mud and snow, the neon lights were dim, and his heart was beating like a beating. Assuming that Jiang Rui was really behind that account, the time when the other party released it and accused Jiang Ruan of wanting to deliberately murder him was after the breakup, and Jiang Ruan completely broke up with him. The night I got in touch.

Cao Ping'an had been waiting for him for a long time, Xie Shiyu pushed the door in, both parties ignored the greetings, Cao Ping'an spread some materials from that year on the coffee table for him to see.

Xie Shiyu passed the living room and glanced out of the corner of his eye. There was a birdcage in the corner of the living room. Inside was a cockatiel with pale yellow wings and two orange-red down feathers under its eyes. When it saw someone coming, it tilted its head and slapped it a few times. Wing down, still very stupid, but can already hear the tone, "Xiao Xie! Xiao Xie!"

Xie Shiyu's mind went blank and he froze in place. Then he walked over and touched the parrot's beak with his fingertips.

He remembered that year, Jiang Ruan always held a handful of millet, squatted in the living room, muttered in a low voice, and taught the cockatiel he bought for him to talk. The cockatiel was not so easy to open its voice. When they broke up, Jiang Ruan hasn't been able to teach it yet.

"...He sent it to my place to raise," Cao Pingan said to him hesitantly, "I happen to have a parrot here, let's keep it company."

"..."

Xie Shiyu suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, went to sit down, flipped through the materials in front of him, raised his head and said, "Mr. Cao, I want to know what happened that year."

So many years have passed, and Cao Ping'an didn't know where to start.

Although there were already speculations before coming here, Xie Shiyu suddenly grasped the paper in his hand tightly when he learned about Grandma Jiang Ruan's death from Cao Ping'an's mouth.

"Yes," Cao Ping'an said, "it seems that he fell down and suffered a cerebral infarction. It took less than half a month from hospitalization to death."

After that, Jiang Ruan was organizing the funeral alone, and then went back to his hometown for burial. He was irritated by Jiang Rui's drunkenness, helpless and embarrassed... He almost killed him in the rain, but luckily he stopped in time and took the initiative to call an ambulance for Jiang Rui , also called the police.

"Jiang Rui probably wants money." Xie Shiyu knew exactly what kind of person this was.

"Yes..." Cao Pingan nodded, "He asked Jiang Ruan for 50 yuan, but Jiang Ruan doesn't have that much money unless he sells the house."

Jiang Rui was determined at the beginning. He must sue Jiang Ruan and send him to jail. If he wants to mediate, he must pay 50 yuan.

Not only that, but Jiang Rui wanted to ruin Jiang Ruan's reputation. It would be better if he could not hold his head up for the rest of his life. He and Cao Pingan couldn't get over the dispute. After Cao Ping'an left, he contacted a reporter, Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng didn't pay attention to the phone call at first, Jiang Rui spoke in confusion, and didn't even explain the matter clearly.

But when he heard Jiang Ruan's name, he paused for a moment, and when Jiang Rui said that he was from Yanning No. [-] Middle School, he was basically sure that it was the person he knew. When he visited Cao Pingan's house during the Chinese New Year, he once After seeing Jiang Ruan, he sensed the value sensitively, so he went to the hospital.

Jiang Rui was still lying in the hospital with a tube inserted, and Luo Zheng was entrusted by him to discuss mediation with Cao Pingan.

Cao Pingan contradicted his identity and didn't want things to make headlines, so he didn't want him to get close to Jiang Ruan. However, Luo Zheng was excellent in both character and learning in school back then, and he had a good relationship with him in the few years after graduation, and he had a lot of contacts. Not too wary of fighting.

Moreover, Luo Zheng has been involved in a large number of cases and has experience in mediation. His brother is still a lawyer. Cao Pingan gradually wavered. After asking Jiang Ruan, he agreed to meet Jiang Ruan.

"The first time we met, Jiang Ruan didn't say anything..." Cao Ping'an still regrets it, "Jiang Rui's attitude has also begun to ease. I thought the matter was finally on the mend, so I asked Luo Zheng to meet him a few more times. The last time, When he left, Jiang Ruan was emotional and was given a shot to calm him down."

Xie Shiyu's Adam's apple rolled, "...What did they talk about?"

"At that time, he didn't tell me," Cao Pingan shook his head, "he only told me after he was released and returned to Yanning together."

Jiang Ruan didn't want to bother Cao Pingan at first, and even wanted to solve the matter of being detained by himself. I will call him, and I soon learned that he was detained.

Cao Ping'an bought a ticket overnight and rushed over. Jiang Ruan was already emaciated and ugly, but his face was calm, and he didn't even shed a single tear.

When we met, he didn't mention the pain at all, but instead comforted Cao Ping'an.

He knew that Cao Ping'an had high hopes for him, and after his grandma passed away, she helped him a lot, but if he really went to prison, let alone the college entrance examination, the rest of his life might be ruined. He always felt a little guilty, so he wanted to solve it as soon as possible. , whether released or imprisoned.

Luo Zheng was the Jiang Ruan he met at that time.

It was remote, the rain was muddy, and the conditions were extremely poor. When he saw Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan was still wearing handcuffs, pale and thin, with clear wrist bones, a beautiful and indifferent face, and his eyes were very calm. Sentimental and cautious, he looked at him.

Although Cao Ping'an must have informed him in advance, Luo Zheng still showed a very sincere attitude and explained to him the purpose of coming, hoping to help him.

He told Jiang Ruan what he might face if Jiang Rui was unwilling to give up the prosecution, and then explained Jiang Rui's conditions one by one. He talked dryly for a long time, but Jiang Ruan didn't say a word. There was no response, but no rejection either.

Until the last time we met.

Jiang Ruan has been detained for a long time, and all his relatives have died. If he hurts others, he will probably be expelled from the school. No matter how difficult it is to see the person he likes, he can't sleep or eat. Also very hazy.

Luo Zheng took out a well-written and unpublished report, hoping that he would nod.

Jiang Ruan has won the gold medal in the provincial chemistry competition for three consecutive years, and several national competition awards. He is very talented in this area. He also won the ballet prize when he was 15 years old. Many videos can be found on the Internet, bright and shining... What could be more regrettable than this, the premature death of talent and the withering of roses.

In addition, although the name of the director Jiang Chen is not widely known, his debut film "Double Track" about juvenile delinquents was a sensation when it was released.

One-line dual-track, Jiang Ruan went astray, the topic is embarrassing enough, he hurt his uncle, for the sake of inheritance, or... If this report can be published, or even made into an interview, or a mediation column, he will not only go up a step.

"...Jiang Ruan broke up with him?" Xie Shiyu was so angry that veins popped up on the back of his hands.

"Yes..." Cao Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "It's completely broken. Jiang Ruan tore up his report. I didn't know at the time... When I went to see him again, he was stressed... and his voice was unbearable. He made a little noise, his eyes were red, and he refused to mediate like he was crazy."

When Cao Ping recalled, his chest was still clogged with turbidity. Every word Luo Zheng wrote was true, but when put together, he distorted a good-looking person to an unbearable level.

If this report is really published, what explanation will Jiang Ruan give? Is it necessary to tear open the wound bloody, gouge out the scars, and pick out all the sadness, grievances, helplessness and unwillingness of the past many years, and put them in front of everyone , to prove innocence? !

But what Cao Ping'an was afraid of was that even so, he would not be trusted by anyone.

There are many people who are purely curious, like flies, swarming with speculation, malice, and rumors, and there are not a few who come here just to watch the show. Those chemicals and reagent bottles alone can't convict anyone, but since he can't explain , Criticism and slander will follow one after another.

Together with his father's only movie released during his lifetime, he will be criticized.

Splashing Jiang Ruan was covered in dirty water, and he was drowned in infamy. His past and future, his long-lost family... were all tainted and destroyed, and he paved an impeccable ladder for himself. After all, every sentence in the pen, released alone, is real.

When Cao Pingan thought about it, he couldn't breathe. He lowered his head and wiped the wet tears from his reading glasses.

Probably more than that.

"..." Xie Shiyu almost couldn't make a sound. He took out his mobile phone, flipped through the photos many years ago, and showed it to Cao Pingan. With a difficult voice, he asked him, "Teacher, is this the reagent bottle?"

"Yes."

Cao Ping'an was a little taken aback. He didn't know why Xie Shiyu had it, but he nodded and said, "Most of them are like this. He said at the time that he wanted to make a storm bottle, but these things can't be used as evidence, so there is no evidence." People really care."

There was a commotion, but Jiang Rui couldn't wait any longer. He was too short of money. In the end, Jiang Ruan paid him [-] yuan for medical expenses and various expenses, and he agreed to give up the lawsuit.

Later, when he returned to Yanning, Jiang Ruan became much more silent, and kept his head focused on preparing for the college entrance examination.

After the exam was over, Jiang Ruan went home and stayed for a while. He wanted to go home, but Cao Pingan couldn't stop him. He just called often. Tell him what's going on.

"He seems to have been in the hospital for a week," Cao Pingan mentioned, feeling distressed, "I'm so tired, I heard he said he was a little hypoglycemic."

Xie Shiyu thanked Cao Ping'an. He didn't remember how he left. Before he left, he touched the head of the cockatiel. The temperature of the fluff remained on his fingertips. When he walked to the parking lot, he was caught by Han Shuo. The night wind blows away, and he suddenly wakes up.

Jiang Nan called from the company, Xie Shiyu picked it up and asked, "What did you find out?"

"..." Jiang Nan was so angry just now, he tried his best to calm down, and explained the situation to Xie Shiyu. Spring Breeze, Spring Breeze, isn't it going to be screened right away... He served his sentence in the movie...

"Next, there may be rumors that Jiang Ruan's filming of his father is a gimmick, marketing to sell people, and spending on parents...

"It was said that his private life was chaotic, and his agent wanted to persuade him to stop him, so he broke up with him. Huo Li was fired from the company, but he wanted to continue messing around with him, and wanted to whitewash him... When he joined the "Repeaters" crew, he also had It's tricky, it hooked up with you or Zhang Shu, especially since it was originally a same-sex movie."

Xie Shiyu took a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, got in the car and fastened his seat belt, "What else?"

"Others..." Jiang Nan suppressed his irritability, "And he was so thin when he was filming, that he took drugs..."

Xie Shiyu sneered lightly.

Jiang Nan couldn't bear it, but he continued: "It sounds fake, but the fact that he injured Jiang Rui is true. There is no way to refute this... They are all mixed together, and some people will believe the fake ones."

"Let the legal affairs handle all the accounts that fan the flames," Xie Shiyu said, "Find out Jiang Rui, and that reporter, Jiang Ruan may be the first one, but he will definitely not be the last one to be used. Public opinion is not enough, let him go to jail."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Shiyu suffocated for a moment. He bit the cigarette butt and slammed the steering wheel hard.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of the brooch that Jiang Ruan had pinned on his suit a few hours ago. The little parrot tilted its head and held the white rose in its mouth. , stepping into the mud, the soft love that still hasn't been wiped out.

There was still no call from the hospital, and before Jiang Ruan woke up, Xie Shiyu drove to his house first.

He took the key from Xu Xiaozhou, and wanted to find Jiang Ruan's old cell phone, maybe it still had the chat records with Huo Li.

It was the first time he went to Jiang Ruan's house. The sofa and mattress were covered by dust-proof cloth, and they were cleaned cleanly. There was nothing superfluous, as if no one had lived here before, and the bedroom was pushed away. door, only to find some clothes in the closet.

They were all empty, he leaned down, accidentally caught a glimpse of the small suitcase under the bed, took it out, tried the password a few times but it was wrong, dialed a string of numbers, and it opened with a click.

Xie Shiyu was stunned. It was the day he gave Jiang Ruan the parrot.

He suddenly took his breath lightly, and his eyes felt sour. He opened the suitcase, and on top of it were more than a dozen rolled-up posters. Traces of tape, as if pasted.

Scrolling down, there are some hand-made and autographed photos of him... the papers he scribbled in high school, deliberately bullying Jiang Ruan, and the little parrot he drew on his draft paper.

Pressed on the bottom layer, placed in a transparent box, and put away with great care, is a Sesshomall Band-Aid that has been wrinkled by rainwater, curled up, completely faded in color, and still stained with sporadic blood.

Xie Shiyu reached over with his fingertips, trying to get the box, but touched the layer under the zipper of the suitcase, as if there was something there.

He carefully moved the contents of the suitcase to the bed, then unzipped the zipper and tilted it slightly. A dozen small medicine bottles rolled out. The medicine bottles were taken out one by one. , is all Jiang Ruan's medical records in the past eight years.

Those are antidepressants, anxiety medications.

He had no family, he didn't want to contact friends, and he dragged his feet to the hospital in a daze. All his illnesses were self-reported.

During the eight years, intermittent treatment, a total of five suicides.

The first time was in the summer when I graduated from the third year of high school. There was a heavy rain at night, and I swallowed the sleeping pills that my grandma hadn’t finished. Died, just fell into a deep sleep.

I was hospitalized for a month, suffered from insomnia all night, nausea and vomiting after eating and drinking, resisted treatment, and occasionally had auditory hallucinations in the most serious cases.

The doctor recorded, "Symptoms improved after changing wards."

Xie Shiyu remembered that date, which was the first photo Jiang Ruan kept on the computer.

The shot was very blurry, he didn't know how to take pictures at the time, and his hands may have been shaking a lot, as if the lens was pressed against a window, and he took a picture of a small red light across the street, a bit like the tail light of his motorcycle.

"I finally had a good dream tonight. 』

A few times in the middle, the nurse or assistant found out in time and pulled him back without causing any harm.

Xie Shiyu looked through the medical records at the bottom. The most recent time was at the beginning of the year. He joined the crew of "Repeaters" and met him on the set a month ago. He was in alcoholism and shock. Xu Xiaozhou went to the hotel to look for him, but he couldn't knock on the door. I was so scared that my palms were cold... When I was sent to the hospital, my heart stopped and I almost didn't recover.

Xie Shiyu couldn't see the rest clearly. He drove back to the hospital, almost speeding through the night.

On the way to the hospital, passing Jiang Ruan's previous company, he glanced at the building from the corner of his eye, it was dark in the winter night.

It was approaching early morning, and it was still dark, but there was someone under the street lamp. I don't know where Jiang Ruan was waiting for him. He lowered his head and ate a bowl of ice powder. He waited all night, but no one came to pick him up.

When the car stopped, I received a message from Xu Xiaozhou saying that Jiang Ruan had woken up.

Jiang Ruan hung the infusion bottle for half the night. When he woke up, his face was pale, confused, and dazed. His eyes wandered across the ward. He closed his eyes and opened them again. His voice was still hoarse, and his lips moved. He said to Xu Xiaozhou: "...Do you still have to do an inspection?"

"Hmm..." Xu Xiaozhou flustered for a moment, but he was afraid that Jiang Ruan would be so calm, so he hurriedly checked his phone, looking for Xie Shiyu.

Jiang Ruan sat up, pushed him away, and wanted to go out.

Everything about his past has been exposed, and it is impossible to hide it from Xie Shiyu, at least he doesn't want to be known by him. He is sick and torn, and he is only dying. Why not go to the clinic alone before Xie Shiyu comes back? room.

Feeling apprehensive and timid, he walked out the door in panic, but happened to bump into Xie Shiyu head-on, who turned around the corridor and saw him at a glance.

Jiang Ruan was stunned and froze in place helplessly.

The snow continued to fall all night. Xie Shiyu walked towards him with snow wrapped around his shoulders, his red phoenix eyes were even a little cold.

In the early hours of the morning, the hallway was almost deserted.

"...Where have you been?" Jiang Ruan raised her eyelashes, said in a low voice, brushed off the snow on his shoulders, and went to hold his hand, startled by the coldness of his hand, she pulled it into her arms.

Xie Shiyu didn't move, being scalded by the temperature of his palm, his eyes turned red suddenly, and tears fell down suddenly.
