Later, I paid the CEO's ex-husband

Shi An is really like what Liu Guo said, like a different person.

Chu Ruo still remembers that Shi An was the first one to talk to him at the meeting, that sunny and cheerful smile, although there was a bit of entertainment and politeness, but it can also be seen that his original character is also so sunny optimistic.

It was never as gloomy, silent, and decadent as it is now.

The head was always hanging down, as if something was pressing on it, or as if some invisible weight was hanging on the neck.With slumped shoulders and a hunched body that was a few rounds thinner than before, she just sat opposite Chu Ruo.

It is completely different from the high-spirited image before.

Chu Ruo didn't know how to speak. Seeing Shi An like this, he felt that Shi An would not speak first.

Chu Ruo stared at Shi An for a while, and when she was about to speak, Shi An suddenly raised her eyelids, looked at Chu Ruo gloomyly, and called Chu Ruo's name in a hoarse voice—"Chu Ruo."

Chu Ruo sat up straight, put her hands on the table, and nodded: "I'm here. I heard you want to see me?"

Shi An still stared at him like that, his eyes were no longer bright, and even exuded a bit of malice, Chu Ruo felt a little hairy from his maggot-like eyes.

Chu Ruo clasped her hands and fingers, put them in front of her, and looked at him: "Why do you want me to die?"

This question was very straightforward, and Chu Ruo didn't intend to make a detour.That's it, Shi An is not the first person to want him dead, nor will he be the last.But Chu Ruo still wanted to know the answer.He always wanted an answer to what happened to him.

Forget it with Ren Chuming.Ren Chuming is a problem that has no solution.

Shi An seemed to have settled down, but his eyes were still sinister.Chu Ruo had no choice but to ask again: "Did we know each other before?"

Shi An's throat moved and he let out a muffled sound.Chu Ruo didn't hear clearly, and leaned over with her ears sideways: "What?"

"Shi Peng'an," Shi An whispered in Chu Ruo's ear sadly, "I wonder if Third Young Master Chu still remembers?"

The blood in Chu Ruo's whole body was cold.

Shi An leaned back on the back of the chair, staring at Chu Ruo, as if he wanted to pluck the flesh from Chu Ruo's body with his eyes.

Chu Ruo slowly sat up straight, clenched his hands into fists against the table, but his fingertips were still shaking.

"Who are you from Shi Peng'an?" Chu Ruo was dry when he heard his own voice.

Shi An slowly pulled out a smile, but at the same time his eyes turned red, and even with that smile he looked terrifying.He said: "I am Shi Pengan's son. I have been looking for you for more than ten years, Third Young Master Chu, and I miss you Third Young Master Chu. I never thought that I would find you here. People like you—" Shi Anmo He gritted his teeth, and squeezed out words from between his teeth, "—and deserve a new life?!"

"A person like you should die—" Shi An suddenly hammered the table and yelled at Chu Ruo uncontrollably, "Uncle Ma didn't drown you that year, but this time you fell into my hands, it's God's will ——The sky wants you to die! The sky wants you to die! Chu Ruo, you must die!"

Chu Ruo sat there with a face as white as paper. If Ren Chuming hadn't rushed in to take him out, he might have forgotten to breathe.

Desperately, he was brought to the lounge by Ren Chuming, with a warm paper cup stuffed in his hand, and someone sat down beside him.It's Ren Chuming.

Ren Chuming closed the door of the lounge to isolate Shi An's mad roaring voice, but Bai Heng's roar was so penetrating that it could still come through the door clearly.

Ren Chuming looked sideways at Chu Ruo, frowning.

Chu Ruo had almost come to his senses by this time, and Bai Heng's roar just now woke him up even more.

He rubbed between his brows, then pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, and said, "Son of Shi Peng'an."

Ren Chuming knew who Shi Pengan was, and he also knew who the "Uncle Ma" Shi'an was talking about just now.He rescued Chu Ruo from that Uncle Ma back then.

And Uncle Ma tied Chu Ruo because of Shi Pengan's affairs.

"The world is too small," Chu Ruo said again, but quickly overturned her own statement, "...it's not small, it's just me, who has done a lot of evil, and I have to pay it back. Caught it. Pay it back."

Ren Chuming said heavily: "Don't think so."

"Repay it." Chu Ruo still said that, he took a sip of warm water, then turned his head to look at Ren Chuming, "I won't sue him."

"Chu Ruo," Ren Chuming frowned and called him, "He committed a crime, and it was deliberate."

"He is Shi Peng'an's son."

"He's more of an adult. Adults take responsibility for what they do."

"Then who is responsible for Shi Peng'an?" Chu Ruo asked.

Ren Chuming said: "You didn't make such a calculation. Shi Peng'an committed suicide at the time, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Brother Ming." Chu Ruo called Ren Chuming suddenly, and Ren Chuming gave a noticeable pause.

This was the first time Chu Ruo called him that after they reunited.This reminded Ren Chuming of the days when Chu Ruo often followed him when they were together.

Chu Ruo was like this at that time, while calling him "Brother Ming" in a soft and fluffy tone, while following him like a little tail.

This title is so nostalgic, Ren Chuming was dazed, the mask on his face and the defense line in his heart almost collapsed.

But Ren Chuming was Ren Chuming after all, he didn't collapse when Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes.His tone was still calm, and he replied: "Well, brother Ming is here."

"I brought the blame on myself - I killed someone's family and ruined someone's life, but now I am standing in the victim's position, saying that I won't sue him... I am not qualified to forgive him, and I can't even ask them to forgive me." Chu If he started to speak, his voice was soft and hoarse, but the more Ren Chuming listened to it, the more unpleasant he became.

"Chu Ruo..."

"—Shi Peng'an's death was indeed not directly caused by me, but I should have noticed what Chu Nantian wanted to do at that time—he knew the intentions of my grandfather and me, so let's drive Shi Peng'an to death first—Chu Nantian I am too familiar with Nan Tian. I should have known what he was going to do. I should have told Shi Peng'an about these things a long time ago...but I didn't. After Shi Peng'an died, I didn't even dare to go to his tombstone. I can't face him, let alone face his family..."

Ren Chuming hugged Chu Ruo's violently shaking shoulders, and firmly pulled her into his arms.Chu Ruo's chin rested on Ren Chuming's shoulder, and his face was full of tears.

"I did something wrong, Brother Ming, I did something wrong, but I'm still alive..." Chu Ruo choked up, "If I could, I would rather die at the bottom of the water as Shi An wished..."

Ren Chuming hugged Chu Ruo even tighter.He whispered, "You can't die."

Chu Ruo was a little suffocated by Ren Chuming's embrace, and his chest felt stuffy, but he kept his head lightly buried in Ren Chuming's generous shoulder socket, and the breath of Ren Chuming enveloped him instantly.

"Brother Ming, let's let him go..." Chu Ruo finally said softly, "He must be very scared."

Ren Chuming pressed the back of Chu Ruo's head, and responded with a muffled "hmm".

The rest of the crew were very puzzled that Shi An was able to return safely. After all, everyone saw with their own eyes that at the same time that Chu Ruo was sent to the hospital covered in blood, Shi An, who was always sunny and cheerful, was taken away. .

So even though Ren Chuming, Huawen, and He Fang, the core members of the film crew, were tight-lipped and never explained the matter in detail, the external explanation was that Chu Ruo was injured by props while filming, while Shi An was brought to cooperate. It was investigated, but after all the scene was seen that day, and it was also photographed by some good people. Speculation and rumors about this matter soon appeared.

At the beginning, the wind of the rumors was that Shi An, as an old man in the film and television industry, was dissatisfied with the newcomer Chu Ruo's rapid rise to the top position, so he just wanted to punish him a little, but he didn't control the intensity well, and stabbed the newcomer Chu Ruo into the hospital.

But for some reason, before the next day, almost at night, the rumor turned into—the rookie Chu Ruo not only robbed Shi An of resources, but also snatched away Shi An’s long-standing financial backer. , Shi An became angry from embarrassment, and hit Chu Ruo violently, which led to the accident.

However, Hua Wen's actions are also very fast.Before these increasingly unreliable rumors spread, they spent money to suppress them, and contacted the platform to follow up on follow-up matters. If they found that there were marketing accounts and sunspots making trouble, let the platform put those marketing accounts and sunspots in trouble. All the information is handed over to Tianxing, who claims to sue.

Even those troublemakers who took videos and photos at the scene at that time, Liu Guo found them one by one, and bought them all with money.

Soon, there was no more discussion about this matter on the entire Internet.And even if netizens saw the rumors, they only commented on them at the time, and soon their curiosity was drawn away by other new gossip.

This incident was originally covered up by Tianxing, and later the crew intentionally released that Chu Ruoan was waiting for the scene without incident, and Shi'an's Reuters was sitting next to them. It's just another piece of gossip in the entertainment industry.

But it is undeniable that Chu Ruo, who has become the focus of things one after another, has already received close attention from the outside world even before the filming of the film is finished.After Chu Ruo was discharged from the hospital and returned to the set to continue filming, many advertisers approached Chu Ruo one after another. Even if he had no actual performance, there were many businessmen who wanted to test the waters. After all, Chu Ruo's face was there.

If Chu Ruo wanted to make a good show, he asked Liu Guo to push down all promotion invitations from advertisers.Liu Guo turned to ask Ren Chuming for his opinion, and Ren Chuming said that it would be fine to let Chu Ruo decide, and Liu Guo immediately did so without further ado.

But Liu Guo still felt that it was a pity, there were many big brands in it!Even if it is not an official spokesperson, having a big brand with it will always have a positive impact on Chu Ruo's reputation.

Chu Ruo replied indifferently: "Now I am nothing, and I want to climb up to others, isn't it a joke?"

Liu Guo couldn't say anything more.
