time becomes poetry

Chapter 15 Heart Empty

Wen Ningshan's case was over, and she recovered most of her property.

Wen Ningshan's brother credited Lixiang for the smooth resolution of the matter, and insisted on treating him with a treat to thank him.

It's not easy for Lixiang to refuse, but it's also inconvenient for him to have too much contact with his ex-girlfriend's family, so he brings Ruoyun along to avoid suspicion.

The four sat down in a French restaurant.

Wen Ninghai raised his glass: "Mr. Lin, I thank you on behalf of Ning Shan and me. I admire your magnanimity. You not only forgave Ning Shan, but also helped her at a critical time. I will never forget this matter. In the future If you need help, just call me."

Li Xiang hurriedly picked up his wine glass: "Wherever it is, this is what I should do."

Wen Ningshan sat opposite Xi Ruoyun, watching her with a smile.

Ruoyun never mentioned to Lixiang about the last time the two met.

First of all, she didn't think it was necessary to say anything about his ex in front of Lixiang.

Second, Wen Ningshan did not take any action against Lixiang.

She smiled at Wen Ningshan.

Wen Ningshan: "Sister Xi, I heard that you are making a movie directed by Wang Ruien?"

Ruoyun: "Yes."

Wen Ningshan: "Is this movie going to be filmed overseas?"

Ruoyun nodded: "Go to Venice, two weeks."

Wen Ningshan: "That's great, I really want to go too. Are you cooperating with Li Hua this time?"

Ruoyun: "Yes."

Wen Ningshan had a longing expression: "That's great, the artist I admire the most is Li Hua, and I really hope to cooperate with him."

Wen Ninghai smiled: "Our family, Ning Shan, just can't grow up, she's still a child."

The four of them talked and laughed happily, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

A group of people finished their meal and were about to leave the restaurant. Li Xiang went to pick up the car.

Ruoyun said goodbye to Wen Ningshan, seeing her smile, Ruoyun thought that she had thought too much before, and this meal might just be a sign of peace.

But she didn't know that Wen Ningshan's target tonight was not her.

Wen Ningshan caught up with Lixiang in the parking lot.

Wen Ningshan: "Lixiang, I have something to tell you..."

Li Xiang: "Why suddenly..."

Wen Ningshan took out a folder from her bag and handed it to Lixiang.

Li Xiang wondered: "What is this?"

Wen Ningshan: "This is a nude photo taken by your girlfriend when she debuted at the age of 17."

Li Xiang froze in place for a moment.

Wen Ningshan: "She is not as good as you think, Li Xiang, you deserve a better girl."

Wen Ningshan left after speaking.

It took Li Xiang a long time to come back to his senses, he opened the folder, and the photos were all real.

Ruoyun has always been a goddess to Lixiang.

She is so beautiful and glamorous, so untouchable.

Meeting her and falling in love with her are the best things that happened to Li Xiang.

But now, that image in his mind instantly collapsed.

She was still the same, but never the same.

He drove Ruoyun home, and Ruoyun noticed his preoccupied appearance.

Ruoyun: "Lixiang, are you okay? Why didn't you speak all the way."

Li Xiang was silent.

Ruoyun is not someone who likes to get to the bottom of things, since he didn't say anything, she didn't ask any further.

Go to the door of Ruoyun's house.

Ruoyun: "I'm going home, goodbye."

Li Xiang hesitated again and again, but still called her.

Ruoyun: "What's the matter, you should tell me."

Li Xiang handed her the folder.

Ruoyun opened it and read it, she was not surprised, she smiled: "Wen Ningshan gave it to you, right?"

Lixiang: "It doesn't matter who gave it to me."

Ruoyun: "It seems that she is determined to let you return to her side."

Lixiang: "Don't change the subject, why do you hide this from me?"

Ruoyun: "The thing you mind is not that I concealed it from you, but that I took these photos."

Li Xiang was noncommittal and buried his head on the steering wheel.

Ruoyun smiled: "As expected, you still mind."

Tears flowed from Ruoyun's eyes slowly, Lixiang raised his head, he had never seen Ruoyun cry before.

Ruoyun: "Actually, I have always wanted to tell you that I am not the girl you imagined. I have wanted to tell you many times, don't treat me like a goddess. I hope you can understand, I Just an ordinary girl."

Lixiang tried to wipe Ruoyun's tears, but she refused.

Ruoyun: "I have taken nude photos, and I have also taken pornography. I have no excuses. I need money. I am just an ordinary person. If you mind my past, I have to say goodbye to you."

Ruoyun wiped away her tears: "Nice to meet you, Lixiang."

When Ruoyun left, his heart was mostly empty.

He wanted to stop Ruoyun, but he didn't. After all, he also needed time to digest this matter.

For nearly a week, the two had no contact.

Lixiang recalled all kinds of things that happened during the period when he and Ruoyun knew each other.

Find yourself the one to blame.

He is also an entertainer, an entertainer who has experienced a downturn in his career.

If he didn't have a group of friends around him back then, he doesn't know what he would do for money.

But Ruoyun is just a girl with a sick mother and young brother.

So, she took the picture, so what.

She is still that caring, kind and virtuous little girl.

What's more, from the moment Ruoyun was by his side, she did nothing but support him and tolerate him.

The more Lixiang thought about it, the more he felt that he had done something wrong. When he tried to call Ruoyun, he couldn't reach her.

Lixiang realizes that Ruoyun has gone abroad to make a movie.

Let's wait until Ruoyun returns to the country to solve it, apologize to her, and see if she is willing to forgive herself.

One day, when Lixiang went out, he found Wen Ningshan waiting at the door.

Lixiang: "Why are you here?"

Wen Ningshan: "I want to get those photos back. I was too impulsive that day, so I shouldn't have given you the photos. I accidentally discovered the photos one day. I think if I were you, I would want to know, so I... ...hope it didn't affect you in any bad way."

Lixiang smiled reluctantly, neither confirming nor denying.

Wen Ningshan: "I'm sorry, Li Xiang, if something happens to you, I will feel guilty."

Lixiang: "Why feel guilty? I really want to know, hey, maybe it's better to have some secrets between the two of you."

The two were silent for a while.

Lixiang suddenly realized something: "The last time you ate was the first time you saw Ruoyun, right?"

Wen Ningshan didn't know what Li Xiang wanted to ask: "What do you mean?"

Lixiang looked at her slowly: "I never told you who the girl I like is."

Wen Ningshan was shocked.

Li Xiang: "Why did you have her picture when you first met her?"

Wen Ningshan did not expect that Xi Ruoyun would keep the private meeting between the two secret to Lixiang.

Wen Ningshan couldn't find an excuse: "I..."

Lixiang looked at her as if he didn't know her: "You did it on purpose...you had a plan..."

Wen Ningshan: "Listen to my explanation..."

Lixiang shook his head: "You are really as Ruoqi said, not as innocent as you look, are you?"

Wen Ningshan didn't say anything, Lixiang smiled self-deprecatingly, and drove away.

Lixiang went straight to the set and found Ruoqi.

Ruoqi was packing her belongings.

Lixiang grabs Ruoqi and apologizes to her.Ruoqi no longer has Lixiang's anger.

Li Xiang: "Since you are so generous, I will treat you to dinner after you finish filming today's scene."

Ruoqi smiled: "Director Li is sick, and the crew's progress may be delayed for a month. I just received the notice today and I'm going home. I have plenty of time when to eat."

Li Xiang was silent for a moment: "I have a better idea."

Ruoqi: "What do you think?"

Li Xiang: "Come with me to Venice."
