Liang Yin was the first to finish her breakfast, followed by Du Yafu while Xiao Tian was a bit slow eating the noodle soup. When she finished, Zhou Jianchen was almost done too.
“Yinyin, are you going directly to the site later?” Du Yafu took a piece of tissue to wipe and asked again..
“Yes.” Liang Yin stood up and replied.
“Then I’ll go with you and save myself from taking a ride from someone else’s car.” Du Yafu said and took the suitcase from Xiao Tian in passing. He didn’t drive his car over and had been traveling with others.
As for the suitcase, he naturally felt awkward to let a little girl take it since he is the big man here.
Liang Yin did not refuse him.
Getting the consent, Du Yafu turned to look at Zhou Jianchen, “Jianchen, do you want to travel together ah, it’s livelier. Don’t wait for your two assistants.” Ah Xian and Ah Zhao still have not come down yet.
Silent for a moment, Zhou Jianchen really agreed, “Let’s go.”
Once they arrived at the parking lot, Xiao Tian was about to take out the car key to drive when Zhou Jianchen took hold of it, “I’ll drive.”
With two men there, he really isn’t used to riding in a car driven by a little girl.
The car quickly started, with Du Yafu in the front passenger seat while Liang Yin and Xiao Tian sat at the back.
Looking around, Du Yafu began to praise again, “Yinyin, this car is pretty good ah!”
This is the top notch Bentley Bentayga with a market value of more than 4 million yuan. Zhong Jianian is a car lover who unbeknownst owns how many cars. Knowing that Liang Yin needed one, he picked a big and durable one for Xiao Tian to drive it over. Xiao Tian has driven many cars when she worked with him, let alone a Bentley Bentayga.
Hearing that, Liang Yin somewhat didn’t know how to answer him.
After commenting on it, Du Yafu turned his head and asked puzzlingly, “But why does a girl like you buy such a car, it is not suitable for you ah.” Although the car is good, it is too high-handed.
Liang Yin could only reply, “This car is not mine.”
Once this was said, Du Yafu was evidently stunned for a moment, apparently remembering the rumors of her marrying into a wealthy family. The break-up fee for the wealthy family’s divorce is most likely exorbitant, so a car is considered nothing.
Liang Yin realized that her words had caused a misunderstanding and wanted to explain, but for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
Turning her head to look at Zhou Jianchen, he was driving the car and there was no reaction on his face.
They soon arrived at the shooting site, which was ten twenty minutes’ drive away.
Xiao Tian and Du Yafu got off on the other side of the car, while Liang Yin looked at Zhou Jianchen and spoke in a low voice after pondering for a while, “This car belongs to my younger uncle.”
""
Younger uncle is also a member of the Zhong family, but there is a fundamental difference with Zhong Mingzhen.
Zhou Jianchen was about to open the door to get off and halted momentarily hearing her words, but he soon opened the car door again and got off before turning around casually to open the car door for her.
“Aren’t you silly.” He looked at her again and dropped this sentence when she got out of the car.
Liang Yin felt a little aggrieved, but soon lowered her head and smiled again.
There was also a smile in Zhou Jianchen’s eyes.
“Let’s go.” Zhou Jianchen said after closing the car door for her.
**********
Many had already arrived on the set. Seeing them coming in together, they were a little surprised, but each soon greeted them enthusiastically.
Zhou Jianchen’s expression turned to eternal iceberg again, and Liang Yin merely responded faintly.
Everyone soon knew after Zhou Jianchen dragged her away last night. Director Chen then responded and Zhou Jianchen also posted on Weibo, so no one dared talk about it anymore.
No one knows what the relationship between Brother Chen and Film Empress Liang is, but since Brother Chen supports her strongly, then no one dares to offend.
Human’s mind is really complex and also very simple, which sometimes is merely bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Liang Yin knew it very well and also didn’t care about it.
**********
The morning’s filming went very smoothly. Liang Yin didn’t have any no-takes and also performed brilliantly in the group scene.
Zhou Jianchen sat next to her again when it was lunch time.
It was a lunch box meal and she sat in her place.
Zhou Jianchen opened the box lid while asking, “Are you leaving soon?” Without the slightest care about the surrounding casting strange gazes.
He was able to drag her away in public last night, why would he care if they saw them sitting and having a meal together.
Knowing what he was thinking, Liang Yin also didn’t mind about it, “En.”
Zhou Jianchen picked out the shredded green pepper from the lunch box and exchanged it with hers, “You eat this.” He knows she doesn’t eat green peppers.
Liang Yin was a little surprised, but she still took his lunch box and ate it.
The crews’ lunch boxes are the same and there are neither good nor bad. When Zhou Jianchen was filming previously, he would arrange his own meals. But now he is filming with Liang Yin, he doesn’t want to be exceptional.
Removing her makeup and changing clothes after the meals, Liang Yin walked to the parking lot with Xiao Tian. She had already taken her leave from Chen Hua’en and the others, and was leaving now.
""
But just as she reached the car, she saw Zhou Jianchen coming from a distance, followed by Ah Zhao.
Liang Yin stopped her action of opening the car door and just looked at him.
Zhou Jianchen stopped in front of her, then pointed to the bag in Ah Zhao’s hand and said, “I bought some food. Take it with you to eat on the way.”
Ah Zhao handed the bag over to Xiao Tian, which was full of food.
__ How far is the journey?
__ About five or six hours.
He asked so last night.
Liang Yin felt a little warm looking at the bag. Not knowing what to say, she just bowed her head and said, “Thank you.”
A little glint flashed in Zhou Jianchen’s eyes, yet he only replied after a long while, “Come back early.”
Hearing that, Liang Yin suddenly felt a little heartache.
The car soon ignited again. Since the journey was a bit far and it was winter, they didn’t dare to tarry.
Liang Yin sat in the front passenger seat. In the rearview mirror, Zhou Jianchen was still standing in the same place even after a distance away.
**********
The car sped all the way with few stops. It was already 7pm when they arrived at Rongcheng.
Liang Yin has a villa in Rongcheng, which was left behind by her maternal grandma, except it has been uninhabited for a long time, hence it is desolately cold.
Liang Yin didn’t stay there. She just took a look and went back to the booked hotel.
When Zhou Jianchen sent her a message in the evening, she reported that she was safe and sound then ended the conversation.
She needed to rest, while Zhou Jianchen had a night scene tonight and also needed to continue filming.
The next day, Liang Yin got up early again and went to buy flowers. After packing up, she then went to the cemetery with Xiao Tian.
The weather was not good as it was drizzling, just like her mood.
It was deserted with no one around when they arrived at the cemetery.
Liang Yin walked to the front of her grandma’s headstone and put down the flowers, while the rims of her eyes reddened at once.
Next to grandma’s grave are the headstones of her parents, who died in an accident when she was 14 years old.
Here was where her closest family was buried in this lifetime.
All these years living abroad, she would come back occasionally to pay respects to them.
“Xiao Tian, you go back to the car first.” Holding back her tears, Liang Yin turned her head and spoke.
Xiao Tian felt a little overwhelmed, yet she still left.
Once she left, Liang Yin’s tears trickled down.
She was once a beloved daughter, whom parents doted on and everything was just as she wished for, but then, it all fell apart.
The image of the person in the photo had gradually faded and Liang Yin stroked it gently with raging tears.
She had a very good life those years, but she eventually has no one to rely on.
The drizzly rain gradually drenched her clothes and hat.
Suddenly, there was a shade over her head.
When Liang Yin regained her senses and turned her head, she was stunned for a moment.
Zhong Mingzhen was standing behind her at some point.
Holding an umbrella and dressed in a black-gray down jacket, his face was stern, yet his eyes bear a different kind of deep emotion.
Liang Yin’s tears trickling down again.
Grandma passed away four years ago, and he came here with her every year.
When grandma was being buried, she cried so hard that she was choking with sobs, and it was him who took her into his arms, and comforted her, “Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
At that time she felt that she had lost all her family members, but she eventually thought she at least still had him alone.
