Pretend to be cute [entertainment circle]

Or the cemetery.

The continuous drizzle had stopped, and the sun cast a brilliant golden light, covering the tombstone just right, illuminating the photo.

Ning Zhou and Jiang Hangting stood in front of the tombstone in black suits, and the surrounding area was quiet with the sound of needles falling.

On the way here, Ning Zhou was already mentally prepared, but when he saw Wei Qibai's tomb, Ning Zhou still felt sore in his heart.

It stands to reason that he has never met the owner of the tombstone, and he only heard of her name a few days ago, but standing here now, an unspeakable sadness enveloped him.

Ning Zhou leaned over and placed a bouquet of chrysanthemums on the tombstone.

"I'm sorry I only came to see you now." Ning Zhou and the person on the tombstone said in a soft voice with a slight hoarseness.

There is a breeze blowing, and the petals of the chrysanthemums are swaying in the wind.

The people in the photos are smiling brightly, but they are always frozen in that moment.

Ning Zhou took a deep look.

Standing up, he bowed.

He didn't get up immediately, and the bow stayed for a long time.

Standing beside Ning Zhou, Jiang Hangting bowed like Ning Zhou, thanking the woman who gave birth to Ning Zhou in his heart.

She should love Ning Zhou, otherwise she would not choose to leave after giving birth to Ning Zhou.

Maybe it was too painful back then and I couldn't find a way out, so I chose to use that extreme method to seek relief.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

After a long time, Ning Zhou got up and stared quietly at Wei Qibai's photo again.

There was a wave surging in his chest, and the arm hanging by his side trembled slightly.

Finally, he said hoarsely: "Mom, I will come to see you often in the future."

As the words burst through his throat, his eye sockets were also soaked with tears.

Jiang Hangting reached out to hold Ning Zhou's hand, and wrapped his palm tightly in his own, "Let's go back."

Ning Zhou nodded.

Then he turned his head three times to look at Wei Qibai's tombstone until he could no longer see it.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when they left the cemetery, and they asked Shen Yufei to have dinner together in the evening.

When Shen Yufei approached Jiang Hangting before, she didn't tell the whole story of the year, but just gave a general idea, but there were still many doubts, and many things didn't make sense.

So when Ning Zhou returned to City A today, in addition to paying homage to Wei Qibai, he also made an appointment with Shen Yufei.

He wanted to get more information from Shen Yufei.

They made an appointment to meet at a private restaurant in City A, which was opened by an actor who quit the entertainment industry.He didn't make a name for himself in the entertainment circle, but this private restaurant he opened has become a famous restaurant in the circle because of his emphasis on quality and good taste.Some entertainers like to go to this private restaurant when they have dinner outside.

The location of the private restaurant is a bit remote, in a small alley, the entrance door is about the same size as the door of an ordinary bedroom, without a signboard, it looks like an ordinary family.

But after entering, there is a hole in the sky.

The pastoral-style decoration gives people a feeling of returning to nature.

Shen Yufei and Lin Zhengping were obviously regular customers of the restaurant. Not long after they walked in, the owner of the restaurant came out to greet them.

Ning Zhou only felt that the boss looked familiar, he should have seen it in a certain TV series.

The boss there also froze for a moment when he saw Ning Zhou, then turned his head and asked Shen Yufei in surprise, "Is this Wei Qibai's son?"

"Yes." Shen Yufei nodded, and introduced to Ning Zhou that the boss had worked with Wei Qibai before.

No wonder Ning Zhou feels familiar. The boss has become round now. If he loses weight, Ning Zhou should be able to tell who the other party is at a glance.

The boss glanced behind them, "Isn't Wei Qibai here?"

Shen Yufei froze for a moment, shook her head and said, "She has something to do."

This is the answer she has repeatedly given over the years.

The boss is also used to it. After all, there is no such thing as Wei Qibai among the people brought by Shen Yufei these years. He thought that this time Wei Qibai's son came over, and Wei Qibai should also come.

Did not expect to still not come.

As before, the boss didn't bother with this issue any more, and greeted them enthusiastically: "The box is ready, I bought the freshest spring bamboo shoots this morning, and I'll bring you a dish of pickled fresh bamboo shoots."

There is no menu in private restaurants, what to eat today depends on the ingredients received today.

The boss led them into the box.

It is said that the box is actually a courtyard, and the dining table is placed on the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

After inviting the guests to sit down, the boss prepares the ingredients himself.

Finally, there were no outsiders around.

Ning Zhou looked at Shen Yufei with doubts in his eyes.

A Sun Peirong and a new boss, none of them seem to know that Wei Qibai passed away 20 years ago.

"I know what you want to ask." Shen Yufei picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, trying to use the water glass to cover up her expression. "Actually, not many people know about your mother's death."

The news of Wei Qibai's death was not disclosed to the public. Except for a few close friends, others did not know that Wei Qibai had passed away.

She walked quietly.

"Why?" Ning Zhou asked, but his voice was dry.

Shen Yufei's voice suddenly became cold, and the water glass in her hand fell heavily on the table, "Because someone made her 'disgraceful'."

She immediately realized her gaffe, and after saying "sorry", her eyes fell on the sparkling water below the lake pavilion, and she began to tell about the past.

Although 20 years have passed, the past is still vivid in my memory, and every time I think about it, it will leave an undeniable pain in Shen Yufei's heart.

Wei Qibai and Ning Changxiong are college classmates. They know each other and love each other in college. They have been dating for three years.

People around thought they would enter the palace of marriage, but when they were talking about marriage, Ning Changxiong's mother appeared.

She was dissatisfied with Wei Qibai's background, strongly opposed their marriage, and insulted Wei Qibai by all means when Ning Changxiong didn't know about it.

Wei Qibai is a high-minded person. Although she loves Ning Changxiong, she is not the kind of person who will compromise.

She and Ning Changxiong proposed to break up. A man who can let her mother insult her and pretend not to know is not worth her nostalgia at all.

But Ning Changxiong thought that Wei Qibai wanted to break up to coerce him to marry her, and felt that his authority was being challenged. In order to let Wei Qibai know that he was also fighting and working hard for their love.So he ignored Wei Qibai's wishes and raped her, allowing Wei Qibai to conceive their child.

At that time, Wei Qibai had already become popular with the first movie, and the second movie was almost finished shooting.

She had a bright future, but was stumbled by Ning Changxiong.

Ning Changxiong threatened his mother with the child, and Ning's mother finally let go and agreed to the marriage between Ning Changxiong and Wei Qibai.

Wei Qibai was unwilling to marry Ning Changxiong at first, but Ning Changxiong repeatedly promised to give her and her child a happy future.

Children are Wei Qibai's weakness. She herself was born as an orphan, so she naturally knows how important a complete family is to a child.

In addition, she was affected by filming at that time, and she was emotionally fragile, and instinctively needed to seek a support.

So she finally agreed to Ning Changxiong willing to marry him.

She thought that her concession would lead to a new and happy life for her and her child, but she didn't know that this was the beginning of the tragedy.

When she said this, Shen Yufei was already sobbing.

She didn't continue talking, but leaned over and picked up a cardboard box, which she had been carrying with her just now.

"Xiao Zhou, you can open it and have a look." Shen Yufei sobbed.

She looked at Ning Zhou full of worry, and she actually hesitated whether to tell Ning Zhou the whole truth.She was afraid that after Ning Zhou knew the truth, he would go into a corner and think that the subsequent tragedies were caused by him.

Actually he is innocent.

For this reason, she also asked Jiang Hangting for his opinion.

Jiang Hangting answered her, "Zhouzhou is not as fragile as you think. Wei Qibai is Zhouzhou's mother. Zhouzhou should know what happened back then."

Shen Yufei asked again: "Aren't you worried that Xiao Zhou can't think about it?"

"Isn't there still me?" Jiang Hangting's answer was taken for granted, but it made people feel safe for no reason.

So Shen Yufei decided to tell everything she knew, but she still didn't forget to bring the cardboard box.

Shen Yufei came back to her senses, and said to Ning Zhou: "Although your arrival is an accident to Qi Bai, she really loves you. She has fantasized about your birth more than once..."

While Shen Yufei was speaking, Ning Zhou had already opened the carton.

The things stored in the carton were displayed in front of Ning Zhou one by one.

There are small clothes sewn by hand, toys of various colors, and paintings that have faded...

"Qi Bai sewed the clothes for you, because she didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, so she sewed two sets on purpose. The toys were bought when she saw them when she followed the crew to promote them. She always I always keep you in my heart. And these paintings are what she hopes to learn at home in the future, and the paintings are all about your appearance in her imagination..."

Shen Yufei finished these words choked with sobs.

Perhaps Wei Qibai had the idea of ​​leaving when she was learning to paint. She knew that she could not watch the child grow up, so she drew all the children in her imagination from childhood to adulthood.

She is accompanying her children through life in this special way.

Wei Qibai loves her child deeply, but everything around her forces her to end her life.

Ning Zhou looked at the same thing, his movements were careful and cherished, and he was afraid that if he didn't make up his mind, he would ruin the most precious gift Wei Qibai left him.

He watched and asked, "What happened next? What happened after they got married?"

The voice seemed to be squeezed out of Ning Zhou's teeth.

"Ning Changxiong's mother bought people from the film crew and asked them to take some specious photos..." Shen Yufei couldn't go on talking at this point, and continued after a long time: "She used the camera in her hand again Let these photos ferment and make Qi Bai a flirtatious woman."

In the society 20 years ago, once a woman was labeled as a "slut", one can imagine the consequences.

Criticism from the paper media and pointers from ordinary people will become the straw that crushes Wei Qibai.

In addition, Ning's mother found a relationship to ban all Wei Qibai's works, ruining all the efforts of hundreds of people in the entire crew.

With a strong sense of guilt and all the previous emotions, Wei Qibai finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"At this time, Ning Changxiong went abroad because of a work project, and he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a husband. He even believed those photos, thinking that Qi Bai had really done something wrong to him, and that Qi Bai needed him the most. At the time, he deliberately used cold violence against Qi Bai."

When Shen Yufei talked about Ning Changxiong, she was full of anger and regret at the same time.

I regret my selfishness back then.
