rumor

The wedding banquet process is nothing more than that, the bride and groom exchange rings, the parents of both parties give speeches, and then play a sensational VCR.

Director Liu prepared a short film featuring Zhou Xinyao as the main character. It was patchwork and edited from many scenes, including Zhou Xinyao walking the red carpet, eating ice cream, squatting outside the church feeding pigeons, and dozing off on a folding chair on the set. , she covered her face and cried when she was proposed... There was even a scene where she just woke up and brushed her teeth with sleepy eyes.

In just 5 minutes, it seems to cover every minute and every second of the two being together, which is warm and touching.Everyone in the audience sighed, the groom is worthy of being a director, and a simple short film can play well.

Jiang Ruo was also quite moved, for this kind of romantic expression of love that was expressed silently through "following your camera" without mentioning a word of "love", but full of affection.

As the bride in question, Zhou Xinyao cried directly into tears, and her eye circles were still red after the wedding banquet.Just like that, she still refused to go back to rest earlier, insisting on dragging Jiang Ruo to her bachelor party.

The two met on the set of "The Cliff" and got acquainted for nearly two months.Zhou Xinyao was born as a model, and she often ran between Fengcheng and Haishi. Jiang Ruo was filming in Haishi, and the two made appointments to have a few meals together.

Jiang Ruo didn't understand at first: "Everyone's bachelor party is arranged the day before the wedding."

"Lao Liu and I don't abide by those broken rules." Zhou Xinyao waved his hand, "I said today is today."

She took Jiang Ruo to the lounge behind the banquet hall, where the bride puts on makeup and waits before going on stage.

Looking around and seeing no one else, Jiang Ruo wondered, "Isn't it a bachelor party?"

"Yeah, there were not many singles in the audience, and they all went to Lao Liu's side."

Saying that, Zhou Xinyao pursed her lips and pointed to the lounge next door.

Jiang Ruohei said: "...Sister Ganqing, you called me to make up the number."

Zhou Xinyao laughed: "Oh no, there are so many people at the banquet that I didn't have a chance to have a good word with you."

If you come here, you will be safe, Jiang Ruo mopped a chair and sat down by the door: "That's fine, I'll chat with you for fifty cents."

Hearing that Jiang Ruo was going to leave tonight, and there was still rehearsal for the play tomorrow morning, Zhou Xinyao said in shock, "I heard that director Zhuang was unkind, and the crew only gave one day off for funerals."

"It's not that exaggerated." Jiang Ruo said, "Director Zhuang is very professional, and the shooting progress has been much faster than expected. He is just afraid that I will leave the group for too long and get out of shape."

From Jiang Ruo's mouth, I heard that in order to get him into the film as soon as possible, director Zhuang asked the cast and crew of the whole crew to surround him when they saw him when they were not filming. The more explicit the eyes, the better. Zhou Xinyao was surprised and understood: "No wonder I feel that your aura is different, and you can handle those who come to strike up a conversation with ease."

Jiang Ruo said helplessly: "It's completely a conditioned reflex, but I'm still panicking."

"Did you panic when you saw Mr. Xi?" Zhou Xinyao took off the heavy Chinese-style tiara in front of the mirror, and asked casually, "Actually, I just sent an invitation casually, and I didn't expect him to come."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ruo said, "Fortunately, it's not as bad as I imagined..."

So stormy.

It seems that the "exercise" in the crew has really worked. He can also be like a mature adult who has been immersed in Vanity Fair for many years, calmly and calmly nodding his head to greet each other.

Even at the moment when the eyes meet, his heart still skips two beats uncontrollably, viciously.

Now that the topic has come to this point, Zhou Xinyao took off the cumbersome decorations on her head and said, "Actually, I never thought that you two would..."

Jiang Ruo pouted: "It's not too soon, it's been a year."

Zhou Xinyao shook her head: "What I mean is, based on my observation and a woman's accurate sixth sense, I thought you two could... achieve a positive result."

Perhaps the word "Zhengguo" is too confusing and too far away. Jiang Ruo was stunned for a while before saying, "It's impossible... I never thought about it."

Zhou Xinyao looked at him in the mirror and saw that he was looking downcast with a slightly lonely expression, she put back the ridicule of disbelief and put it in a serious sentence: "I thought at the beginning that if it really came to that, Most of you will compromise and make concessions. After all, you..."

Jiang Ruo laughed: "Even you can see it."

It seems that everyone knows that he has real feelings for Xi Yufeng, and that a person like Xi Yufeng cannot give up anything for him.

"Did he never see it?" Zhou Xinyao asked.

"Maybe not, maybe there is, but I don't want to say... who knows."

"I still reserve my opinion."

"What opinion?"

"He didn't play tricks on you."

"Really?" Jiang Ruo raised his hands up and stretched his waist, as if turning back into a heartthrob in the play, "Then I want to escape from him so much that I don't know how to be flattering?"

Zhou Xinyao shrugged: "I'm just curious about the matter between you two, and I don't intend to interfere."

"Well, it's just that my sixth sense is too developed."

"Go! Go! Go."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Xinyao winked at Chen Muxin for some reason: "My younger brother is pretty good, you can change your mood, the old man is certainly considerate and gentle, and the little wolf dog also has a special flavor."

Jiang Ruo was confused by her matchmaking spirit: "Aren't you afraid that I will relay this to Director Liu?"

"You don't have a chance to meet him." Zhou Xinyao covered her eyelids with a makeup remover wipe, "But "The Cliff" will be released for a while, you have to follow the road show."

It was Jiang Ruo's turn to pretend to be a threat: "At that time, I may not be able to control my mouth..."

"There will be more opportunities to meet at that time, and I will introduce you to a few more male models." Zhou Xinyao said to herself, "Sister walked the runway before, I dare not say anything else, a man with broad shoulders and narrow waist and eight-pack abs is as good as he How much, don't rush to agree to Chen Muxin, choose slowly when the time comes, and I will palm your eyes for you too."

Jiang Ruo: "..."

Director Liu is really kind.

"The Cliff" has passed the examination and obtained the release certificate, and will be released during the summer vacation.

A trial screening will be held before, and the crew, cast members, investors of the film and some media will be invited to participate.

Jiang Ruo counted the time and said, "Director Zhuang's movie must have finished by then, but I took on a variety show, and there might be a conflict with the preview screening time."

Zhou Xinyao asked what kind of variety show it was, and Jiang Ruohui said, ""Actor's Flower Road", an acting competition show on Sweet Orange Satellite TV."

"I know this. They invited Lao Liu to be a judge before, so they didn't consider the schedule conflict." Zhou Xinyao pondered for a while, "But as far as I know, most of the actors who participated were actors who couldn't get on the show. You are developing now. Just right, why bother with such a thankless variety show?"

Jiang Ruo said: "This kind of occasion is very tempering. I need a chance to prove myself."

"Isn't it the same exercise on the set?" Zhou Xinyao was still puzzled, "Could it be because Mr. Xi cut off your resources..."

"No." Jiang Ruo immediately explained, "He gave me everything he could, including the brokerage appointment, and the assistant who has been with me for a long time, and now I manage them all."

Zhou Xinyao turned around after removing her make-up, crossed her long legs and looked at him: "Everyone in the circle is laughing at you, saying that you were abandoned by him, and you still miss his well-being and speak for him?"

The silence lasted for a while, before Jiang Ruofang said, "He has his difficulties, and I am very grateful and satisfied for being able to do this for me."

So many memories were evoked in an instant, deep and turbulent.The most vivid thing is still the beginning of the story. He got off Xi Yufeng's car and stood in the rainstorm at the entrance of the alley, thinking about many things in a very short time.

The reason why he turned back later was that besides wanting to win the role of "Ying Fei", there were other unwillingness——

Not reconciled to stop here with the people in the car, but also want to have more interaction with him.

It turned out that a long time ago, he threw away his reason and let his subconscious guide him.

It is difficult to describe the mood at this moment, there is a kind of bewilderment to see the evidence of the temptation, and there is also a kind of relief that the time has passed.

Jiang Ruo smiled: "Besides, I was never with him for the sake of him."

Now he can finally say that openly.

In Fengcheng at the end of March, the evening breeze is still slightly cool.

When Xi Yufeng walked out from the main entrance of the hotel, Lao Liu was driving the car to the entrance.He was not in a hurry to get into the car, but asked Lao Liu to drive the car to the side where he would not get in the way, while he stood on the porch, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs leisurely.

Not long after, Jiang Ruo came out from the door with few pedestrians in the middle of the night, saw a young man waiting in a conspicuous place by the fountain, and walked over quickly.

A distance away, I couldn't hear what the two of them said clearly, but I felt that Jiang Ruo was in a relaxed state just like on the wine table, his body trembled slightly, and he seemed to be laughing.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew over, and from a distance, he saw Chen Muxin, who was taller, raised his hand and put a peaked cap on Jiang Ruo's head. Xi Yufeng tightened his fingers holding the cigarette, and the body of the cigarette suddenly buckled.

It wasn't until Jiang Ruo got into a taxi to the airport and Chen Muxin walked towards the underground parking lot that Xi Yufeng extinguished the cigarette in his hand and walked towards the long-awaited black commercial vehicle.

The interior of the car was very dark, only the co-pilot turned on a reading light, the faint light was heavy from above, and the air seemed to have weight.

Tonight was originally arranged to have a dinner party with a certain director, but Xi Yufeng has been so busy that he hasn't shown up at the company for several days.Shi Mingxu had been waiting in the car, and only now found an opportunity to report on his work. He talked to Xi Yufeng and listened, and occasionally gave comments, and Shi Mingxu immediately typed on the keyboard to annotate and revise.

After finishing his official business, Shi Mingxu began to ask for instructions on other matters one by one according to their importance.

"A phone call came from Los Angeles. It's the same as last year, and it's still a routine inquiry."

Xi He heard the rumors sitting in the back seat and raised his wrist to look at the date on the dial.

Time flies so fast, and it's that time of year again in a blink of an eye.

Looking back out of the window, Xi Yufeng said slowly, "Xi Wangchen, have you been released from prison?"

"Yes." Shi Mingxu replied, "The last time the master was the host and invited several leaders to dinner, it should have been arranged."

That's why it can be released so quickly.

Xi Yufeng didn't say a word about this, but asked something else: "What about the general meeting of shareholders?"

"According to the current situation, it is imperative." After a pause, Shi Mingxu continued, "But the situation is still in our favor, after all, we have the support of the Meng family..."

"What if not?" Xi Yufeng said, "If for some reason, the Meng family no longer supports me, what is the chance of winning?"

Shi Mingxu froze for a moment, as if he understood the meaning of the words.

For some reason, what else?

In this way, no one dares to judge the situation easily.

After all, although Xi Chengli valued Xi Hefeng, but also because his dead mother was jealous, he talked about delegating power, but he kept restraining him in secret.Including marrying him with the Meng family, which seems to pave the way for him, but actually weakens his personal strength virtually, making him subject to many restrictions, and can only be used by the Xi family.

Shi Mingxu didn't dare to jump to conclusions, and asked tentatively: "You mean..."

Fortunately, Xi Yufeng didn't intend to listen to anyone's opinion, put down the question just now, and said: "Over there in Los Angeles, please speak for me, wish the old man good health, and his grandson will come to visit someday. In addition——"

Shi Mingxu's hands were hanging on the keyboard, and after waiting for a long time without seeing anything, he turned and looked at the back seat.

Xi Yufeng leaned on the back of the chair, turned his head slightly, as if looking at the scenery outside the window.

But his eyes were unfocused, dark, in a trance, with a desolate silence.

Like a last-minute struggle before giving up, or a last bit of hesitation before grabbing something.

In a place where no one can see, Xi Yufeng has only one voice in his head——

I was with him, never for the sake of him.

I can almost imagine Jiang Ruo's expression when he said this.

Xi Yufeng considers himself not an impulsive person, and never does anything he is not sure about.In his dictionary, there are prudence, slow drawing, and insight, but there is no such word as military action.

But he couldn't wait.

This sentence alone is worth his risk.

In terms of weight, these things seem precious, but they are not worth one ten-thousandth of this sentence.

Furthermore, even if it was a big gamble, he might not lose.

So in the next second, Xi and Feng's eyes converged, and Shi Mingxu felt a more chilly coldness from it, a sharp determination like an ice blade coming out of its sheath.

"Tell me over there, it's not my turn to intervene in the grievances between them." Xi Yufeng continued in a cold voice, "So grandpa can do whatever he wants, and don't have to take me into consideration."

One and a half months later, Jiang Ruo had just returned to Fengcheng after wrapping up the production of "Skin Bag", when he heard two important events.

The first one was closely related to him. An He left a note on the table of the rental house, saying that he would be away for a while, so he should not worry.

The second matter has nothing to do with him. However, there are discussions everywhere in the circle. Jiang Ruo blocked the news of some friends in the circle of friends, but he was caught off guard by a WeChat message sent by Lin Xiao.

—Have you heard?The eldest son of the Xi family's father was hospitalized in a car accident, and it is said that he is still in danger.

Jiang Ruo stared at the message for a while, really didn't know how to respond, so he casually clicked an emoji of a boy with a fake smile.

Lin Xiao: Ah...you don't want to hear about him, do you?

Jiang Ruo didn't want people to think that he was an "unforgettable old relationship". After all, the outside world only knew that he had been with Xi Yufeng, and the two had a simple and unpretentious nurturing relationship.

So he pretended to be indifferent and replied: no.

Lin Xiaohui misunderstood, thinking that Jiang Ruo also wanted to eat the melons from the former gold master, so he sent two more in succession.

——I also heard that because of this matter, his marriage to that young Miss Meng who slept all over the place was postponed.

——But don’t all their businessmen believe in Chongxi’s superstitions?So I understand myself, postponing something is just a pretense, I'm afraid this marriage will not work out.
