Chef God who doesn't want to be an actor is not a good idol

The sky was dark, and there was silence in the living room, only the clock hanging on the wall was still ticking.

Xie Mengting watched He Hongfei, as if he understood something from his expression, he pinched the reporter's thumb and index finger inadvertently.

"So, that was the reason for the last dinner together." Obviously it should be a question, but Xie Mengting used an affirmative tone.

He and He Hongfei have known each other for more than 20 years, and it is common to invite each other to their house as guests, but last time He Hongfei asked for his and Gu Wan's hair in a weird way, and the reason he gave was a bit lame now that he thought about it.Although Xie Mengting felt strange at that time, he still pulled out his hair for him.

But after seeing this report, what he and Gu Wan's hair was used for was ready to be revealed.

"I'm sorry." He Hongfei apologized with guilt in his eyes.

No matter how many reasons there are, no matter how many reasons there are, if he didn't ask Xie Mengting in advance about this matter, but he cut it first and played it later, it is He Hongfei's deception to his friend.

"That day, you only asked me and Gu Wan... How did you get Xie Rui's DNA sample?" While asking, Xie Mengting continued to look directly at He Hongfei, observing every tiny expression on his face Variety.

"During his physical examination, he entrusted someone to get it." He Hongfei hesitated for a while, but still didn't say who got it.

Even so, Xie Mengting is not difficult to guess.Xie Rui's physical examination is carried out in a fixed unit every year, and the range of candidates is just those few.

But Xie Mengting did not continue to ask, but squeezed the report in his hand, and turned his gaze back to the report, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Mengting lowered his head halfway, most of the expression on his face was hidden in the darkness, making it hard for people to see the expression on his face clearly.

Under He Hongfei's worried eyes, Xie Mengting began to read the report carefully again, his speed was very slow, as if he was facing an important report.

The content of the report is very simple. The test materials are marked with different serial numbers, followed by the detailed firm date and process. When turning to the third page, the appraisal conclusion at the end confirmed the guess that Xie Mengting was about to come out of. .

He and He Hongfei have known each other for many years, so there is no need for the other party to lie to him about this matter, not to mention that the appraisal center that He Hongfei found has no possibility of fraud.

Then there is only one conclusion left——

Xie Rui is not his biological son.

Xie Mengting stared at the report, as if his whole body had been split in two, the emotional half was still hesitating and denying, but the rational half was calmly reminding him of the authenticity of the report.

The clock on the wall kept making "tick-tock" sounds, and the brisk sound fell on my ears, but it only aggravated Xie Mengting's boredom.His eyes stayed on the six words "None are related" for a long time, until he rubbed the two thin papers apart with his thumb and forefinger too hard, Xie Mengting seemed to wake up suddenly, and eagerly turned to the next page. Page.

After turning over a page of the appraiser's declaration, what caught Xie Mengting's eyes was another appraisal report.

The third test material among them comes from "Duruo".

When turning to the final result, Xie Mengting's eyes stayed on the text of the appraisal result for a long time. It was not until He Hongfei called his name again that Xie Mengting put the report in his hand on the coffee table and raised his head again. .

"Brother Xie, I'm sorry."

Xie Mengting came back to his senses and sighed heavily.

"When did you find out about this?"

"Just this month, someone from Jingshi Wenjia found me and asked some questions. Afterwards, I also found out some questions." He Hongfei hesitated for a moment when he thought of the investigation results in his hand, but still did not choose to put everything away. Say it all.

Xie Mengting could hear the concealment in He Hongfei's words, but he knew better why the other party chose this way.

"Brother Xie, are you okay?"

"This news is too sudden, and it will probably take some time." Xie Mengting put on a faint wry smile, stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, "But I'm more worried about Wanwan now."

When Gu Wan was mentioned, He Hongfei couldn't help but fell silent.

Both he and Xie Mengting knew clearly how much Gu Wan doted on Xie Rui, the only son.If she knew the news, she didn't know how she would react.

"Perhaps, we can wait a little longer and tell her after the Chinese New Year?"

But Xie Mengting rejected the proposal with little hesitation, "No, the longer the delay, the more troublesome it will become. No matter which party it is."

In this case, there are no absolute victims.But now that it is discovered, the best solution is to act decisively.

"I met him a few days ago..." After a moment of silence, He Hongfei still told the story.

Xie Mengting's attention returned to He Hongfei almost immediately, "How is it?" There was a three-pointed impatience in his tone that even Xie Mengting himself hadn't noticed.

"Gentle, polite, calm, and restrained." He Hongfei used eight words to describe the impression Du Ruo left on him, "Maybe it has something to do with the first meeting, but at least it can be seen that he is a good person."

He Hongfei's evaluation made Xie Mengting raise his eyebrows in surprise.

He is familiar with his old friend, and he clearly knows that there are very few people who can get He Hongfei's "good" evaluation when they meet for the first time.

This made Xie Mengting a little more curious about the complicated and unspeakable mentality of his own son, whom he had never met.

"Does he know about it?"

"I don't know yet."

"Then... can you contact him?" When Xie Mengting spoke again, his voice was slightly hoarse, "I want to meet this child first before telling others."

***

On the way home from He Hongfei's place, Xie Mengting was full of worries.It was already late at night when he returned home, but there were still two lamps left for him in the bedroom and corridor, shining quietly in the dark, illuminating his way home.

Just like so many years, there is no difference.

Xie Mengting changed into his slippers, and after walking up to the second floor, he habitually turned off the lights in the corridor.

He pushed open the bedroom door, gently hugged Gu Wan from behind, buried his head on the side of her neck, and hid all the expressions on his face.

Gu Wan felt itchy, couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted Xie Mengting's arm, "What's wrong? What did Lao He ask you to say today?"

"A little thing." Xie Mengting's voice came out muffled.

Gu Wan sensed that Xie Mengting was not in a good mood, so she didn't press questions in front of him, but chatted about some interesting things after Xie Mengting left today.

But Gu Wan didn't realize that when she mentioned Xie Rui, Xie Mengting's eyes flickered unnaturally.

***

After meeting at the cafe last time, Du Ruo didn't expect to receive He Hongfei's invitation so soon, and Du Ruo didn't refuse that He Hongfei mentioned in the invitation that he might bring a friend with him.

After finishing the magazine shooting that day, Du Ruo quickly changed into clothes, took off her makeup in the car and rushed to the agreed place.

When Du Ruo knocked on the door, his eyes inadvertently met with another person in the room that he had never seen before.

The moment their eyes met, both of them were stunned for a moment.

Until Du Ruo withdrew his eyes and sat down, the man's eyes still stayed on him.

Like, so similar.

Almost at the first sight of Du Ruo, Xie Mengting understood why He Hongfei had such doubts.

I'm afraid that anyone who has seen the photos of Xie Mengting and Gu Wan when they were young will feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity the moment they see Du Ruo.

Du Ruo noticed the overly obvious and focused gaze of the person opposite, suppressed the confusion in his heart, smiled politely at him, and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Du Ruo."

"Xie Mengting."

The moment Du Ruo heard the word "thank you", Du Ruo already had some direction in his heart, but he also knew that this was not the right time for him to ask a question.

There was a knock on the door of the box, and the waiter brought up the dishes one by one, interrupting the strange atmosphere in the box.

In the following time, neither Du Ruo nor the other two tacitly mentioned the reason for meeting today.

On the contrary, after Xie Mengting went back that day, he checked a lot of information about Du Ruo, including some works that Du Ruo had starred in before. During the chat, he inevitably brought out some, which made Du Ruo secretly surprised by Xie Mengting's understanding.

"Being an actor is hard work."

Hearing Xie Mengting's words, Du Ruo was taken aback for a moment, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth the next moment, "Indeed, but also very happy."

"Oh?" Xie Mengting leaned forward slightly.

"No scene will be easy, and no role will be easy. But the sense of satisfaction at the moment when a character is played out and the work is released is unparalleled." When saying these things, Du Ruo smiled lightly, as if there were stars shining in his eyes.

The joy in those eyes made Xie Mengting's lips twitch involuntarily.

During the next chat, although Xie Mengting and Du Ruo may not have noticed, there is no strangeness between the two when they first met.

After all the dishes on the table were removed and replaced with a fruit plate, Xie Mengting tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and said: "I invite you suddenly today, you must be a little confused. But there are some things, I still hope that I can meet with you face to face." You said it, but kept hesitating about what to say to you."

"I've thought about it for a long time, maybe I should let you take a look at this first." Xie Mengting put the kraft paper bag on the table, pressed two fingers on the kraft paper bag, and pushed it in front of Du Ruo.

Du Ruo narrowed her eyes and looked at the kraft paper bag in front of her, but she didn't reach out her hand immediately.
