singer of the so-called director of love

It was already night when Lan Bing returned to the hotel. When she knocked on Shuile's door, she was sitting on the bedside in long-sleeved pajamas studying the script. Almost done.

Lan Bing walked over, took the script from her hand again, and said disapprovingly: "Didn't you agree not to read it again? It's disobedient."

Shui Le obediently changed into a comfortable position, sat up straight cross-legged, and hugged the pillow in her arms. "Where is 'again'? Isn't there a reshoot tomorrow? I'm just reviewing~"

"I won't be filming tomorrow. You two will film the rivalry scene after a while. Let's shoot other things first."

"Oh fine."

"You don't ask me why?"

"Have you been drinking?" "No."

"Fever?" "No."

"Very angry now?" "No."

"You didn't get drunk to the point of insanity, you didn't have a fever to the point of mental decline, you didn't get dizzy from anger, and you didn't have any irresponsible habits. So there must be your reasons for this decision. If you don't want to explain, why should I Do you have to ask to understand?"

"Why are you so obedient, Shui Baobao?" Lan Bing couldn't help stroking the ends of her hair lightly, and said warmly, "I'll see if you roll up your sleeves."

Uh, why do you still remember this?Shui Le was a little hesitant. She saw it when she was taking a bath just now. There were a few finger marks on both arms.But judging by Lan Bing's posture, he definitely couldn't hide, so he obediently rolled up his sleeves.

When Lan Bing saw those marks, she was still for a few seconds, then took out the liquid medicine she had been holding in her hand, and gently applied it on the bruised place without saying a word.

"It just looks scary, but I don't feel anything at all, and it will disappear in a few days." Shui Le comforted, but it was also true.

"After that, I will wipe it every night until the trace is gone."

"Oh."

"Don't try to be lazy, I'll wipe it for you then."

"Yes~ Your Majesty!"

However, Lan Bing failed to get his wish.

The next day, Ian, who had disappeared for a week, finally remembered that he still had a singer who was filming. He hurried to the set and waited on Shui Le all day.

When work was over, I took advantage of Shuile to change clothes. Ian walked up to Lan Bing and asked with an apologetic expression: "Director, can I take a few days off for Shuile?"

Lan Bing frowned, asking for leave?at this time?But Ian is not an irresponsible manager, so she just asked calmly: "The reason."

"She may need a little time to deal with some personal matters." It was about Shui Le, Ian didn't intend to make up plausible excuses in front of Lan Bing, Shui Le didn't like it.So he tries to be as honest as possible.

Lan Bing looked directly into Ian's eyes, the meaning in his eyes was almost scrutiny, and Shui Le obviously didn't know that Ian was going to ask her for leave.

Ian smiled wryly: "I think, as long as you agree, it will be easier for me to persuade her, because then she will lose one of the most legitimate reasons when she refuses."

Lan Bing still looked at him like that, remained silent for more than ten seconds, and finally just said: "If she thinks this is necessary, I will not object."

"Thank you."

After a while, Shui Le came over and asked Ian casually: "Are you going back to the hotel with me, or is there something else?"

"Not going back to the hotel, there are other things."

"Okay, get out, anyway, the whole crew knows about my agent's indifference to me, and I'm not particularly sad."

Lan Bing, as always, smiled softly at her nonsense with others.

Ian should have pretended to beg for mercy, or directly mocked her in turn, but he didn't. He just told her carefully: "You don't need to go back to the hotel. I just asked the director for a few days off."

"Are you kidding, Ian?" As the protagonist of the film, it is simply willful to ask for leave during the most intense period of filming, and there are still a few days left.Shui Le couldn't think of anything more important that would make Ian make such a decision.

Ian didn't refute, just said: "The director has agreed."

Shui Le glanced at Lan Bing: "I don't agree, no matter what the reason is, I can't let the work of the entire crew be delayed because of me alone."

Ian became anxious: "Lele——"

"What's the matter?" Shui Le interrupted him.

At this moment, Ian twitched, hesitated to speak, it was obviously her business, but he acted as if he didn't want her to know but had to tell her.Shui Le suddenly had a bad premonition, and Ian was only so careful with her on one thing.

As if afraid of scaring her, Ian watched her expression and said softly, "About your mother."

Sure enough, Shui Le sank for a moment, with a solemn expression that Lan Bing had never seen before, and her eyes were bottomless.

For the first time, Lan Bing realized that just getting to know Shui Le was not enough for her, she had to know more.She couldn't just do nothing and wait for herself to tell her, and she probably never would.

But now, all she can do is tell her with certainty: "I will arrange the work of the crew, you don't have to worry."

Back at Yi's house, Jiang Bo carefully prepared the dinner as usual, and was putting the tableware on the table with the help of his servant.

The way home was enough for Shui Le to calm down.I heard Ian's words before, but it was because I haven't heard others mention that title for a long time, so when I heard it for a long time, it was hard to avoid some pain when I recalled it too long ago.After she regained her composure, she couldn't help laughing at herself for being too hypocritical. After experiencing so much, she should have learned to face it calmly.

"Jumbo~"

"Miss Lele, Master Ian, you are back! Are you hungry? Dinner will be ready soon."

"Well, where's Grandpa?"

"Master is in the study."

Shui Le went up to the second floor and stood in front of the old man's study door for more than ten seconds before knocking lightly on the door.

"Come in."

"Grandpa~" Shui Le walked in and called obediently.

"I'm back." The old man took off his glasses, looked up at her from the book, "Is Uncle Jiang's dinner ready?"

"All right."

So the old man closed the book, "Then let's eat first."

"Oh."

After the meal, I went back to the study, Ian and Jiang Bo were also there, Shui Le hadn't said anything yet, but the two of them had a serious expression as if they were facing an enemy.The old man sat at the desk, and said slowly to Shui Le: "You said you didn't want to investigate your mother's past, so although I asked someone to investigate, I didn't tell you."

If it wasn't for the bad atmosphere, Shui Le almost laughed out loud. This beginning is really too unique. Grandpa is really...

"Your mother Ren Wenjing, this name is actually a pseudonym. There is a big family in C City in the south of the Yangtze River. The double surname is Wenren, and the scholarly family has a high reputation. Twenty years ago, the second lady of Wenren's family, Wenrenjing, ran away from home. , and there has been no news since then.”

Just these few words, for Shui Le, the story is very complete.The innocent second lady, with a beautiful imagination of love, meets a down-and-out artist who is full of aspirations.Like all clichéd love stories, they fell in love, and of course the woman's family did not agree, so they fought, conflicted, persisted, and finally made a decision, abandoned everything and went away.If they get along well from now on, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl may still be able to make a good story, but unfortunately there is always a style of novels called tragedy.Moreover, the tragedy of novels often only lies in the heart-wrenching chapter at the end, while the tragedy of reality is the endless suffering that accumulates over time.

"So after more than [-] years, someone from the Wenren family finally remembered that there was a Second Miss whom I hadn't seen for many years?" Shui Le said lightly, "Unfortunately, only the orphan of Second Miss was found."

"Miss Lele..." Jiang Bo looked at her calm and breezy as if she was discussing other people's affairs, and couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, as if seeing that thin little girl who was almost in rags but unexpectedly calm and determined again.At that time, she was standing in a narrow alley, tightly holding the bread that she did not know where she got it in her arms, staring at the stray dog ​​in front of her in fear but fiercely, holding it with one hand and taking it from the trash can cans.Such a light thing is of no use to a big dog, and Jiang Bo knew very well that when he was about to open the car door, the stray dog ​​turned around slowly and walked away.

Little Shui Le sat down on the ground all of a sudden, carefully opened the oil paper bag, and seemed determined to eat her hard-won dinner before the big dog changed his mind.At this time, a skinny and unkempt old woman stretched out her begging hands. She hesitated, and finally broke off a small piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth, and gave the rest to the old man, ignoring it. She thanked her repeatedly, turned around and left without hesitation.

"Kind but not weak, it's really rare to have compassion for others when you encounter misfortune." The old man commented like this, without hiding the admiration in his eyes, and then asked Uncle Jiang, "Take her back to accompany Xiao En, you how do you feel?"

"Master Ian will definitely like it very much." Uncle Jiang was very glad that he answered that way at the time. Sure enough, Master Ian loved Miss Lele like something when he was a child, and he still does so until now.

Shui Le ignored Ian's hand holding her shoulder, smiled and comforted Jiang Bo: "I'm fine." Then he asked the old man, "So the last time Grandpa went out to meet someone from Wen's family?"

"Meet you, but it's not the way you think we will meet."

Shui Le was puzzled, and Ian explained: "When grandpa brought you back from country A, he deliberately erased your previous identity, which is impossible for ordinary people to find out. It can still be done. Before the Chinese New Year, my grandfather found out that people from Wenren’s family were investigating what happened back then, so he took the opportunity to meet friends in the south to find out. He met people from their family, but he didn’t reveal his identity. "

It turns out that even the reunion dinner for the younger year has to be eaten in advance for the New Year's Eve, and it's all because of her.She had long lost count of how many things this old man from the Yi family had done for her—before she knew it or not—that she could never repay in her entire life.

"And now they've found me? Well, it feels like I've committed something..."

Ian rolled his big eyes, and couldn't help but want to strangle her to death.The two old men laughed, especially Jiang Bo, whose smiles almost overflowed with pampering, but were soon tainted with a touch of sadness.

"They not only found you, they also want to meet you. Maybe they want to bring you back to Wenren's house, no, they definitely want to!" Ian became angrily as he spoke.

But Shui Le didn't say anything to comfort her, she just turned to the old man, a bit incomprehensible, "Then why did you ask Ian to take a few days off for me?" How many days does it take to meet each other?

"I heard that the parent of the family, that is, your grandfather, is old and unwell, so he seldom goes in and out of the house. So I sent your uncle to pick you up and take you back to City C." When the old man said this, Yi En was obviously dissatisfied with the two titles he used, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Shui Le looked into the eyes of the old man, and said seriously: "Since Wen's young master has come, it seems that we don't treat guests well if we don't see each other. But Grandpa, I don't really want to meet anyone from him, let alone go to City C ,what do you think?"

"Shui Le," the old man solemnly called Shui Le's name, paused, and spoke to Shui Le for the first time in a tone similar to earnestness, "From the day I brought you back to Yi's house, I have I hope you will always be a member of the Yi family, that's why I deliberately obliterate your past, this is my selfishness. But in the end, I failed to write your name into the Yi family's genealogy..." The old man rarely showed it at the end With a bit of remorse and self-blame, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

At that time, Shui Le was annoyed by the open and secret struggles of various powers and interests in the Yi family. She had no intention of fighting for these things, but the rest of the Yi family refused to let her go.So she made it clear in front of everyone at a family gathering that she was about to become an adult that she had no intention of taking a share of the pie, and she would definitely not have the right to inherit the Yi family's property.Empty words are unsubstantiated, but they are powerful, and the old man acquiesced without saying a word.From now on, apart from the Yi family's old house, she has no connection with the Yi family.

Shui Le never imagined that her self-willed choice at the beginning would cause the always cold old man to blame herself, that she would be so unfilial, and that she would fail his years of hard work.

Shui Le walked up to the old man, knelt heavily at his feet, put his hands on his knees and looked up into his eyes: "Grandpa, that's not your fault, it's my own choice. But I'm Yi I've always been a family member."

The old man was silent for a long time, sighed in relief, and then rubbed the top of her hair, signaling her to get up.Shui Le was flattered and looked back at Ian in disbelief. She was just touched on the head by her grandpa? !Ian curled his lips. The old man has never been a warm person. He only enjoyed such gentle and loving actions when he was sick when he was a child.

Jiang Bo's eyes were already wet, but the next second he couldn't help laughing at the two of them's little actions, so he bent down to refill a cup of tea for the old man.

The old man spoke again: "After all, they are your mother's family. I heard that they are ashamed of your mother, so they will never treat you badly. I have not been involved in your 13 years, and I am not qualified to discuss with you the unforgivable issues. See Whether or not to see is your own choice. I just hope you think about it carefully. When you are young, you will be too obsessed with something, and don’t let yourself regret when you are old.”

"I see."
