Chapter 222

The moonlight outside the window was like water, blending with the garden lights scattered in the courtyard. Through the gaps in the curtains, it poured like mercury onto the king size bed in the room, shaking the mottled ground.

In his sleep, the man unconsciously turned over. He stretched out his arm to grab it, but he did not catch the expected softness. There was only cold air.

He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the empty side of the bed. His good-looking eyebrows almost immediately furrowed.

The British clock on the wall pointed to 3:25 am. Could she not sleep, or did she not sleep at all?

The man lifted the quilt, got off the bed barefooted, and opened the door to the room. He saw a faint light coming from the stairs. He walked along the light and saw the girl sitting on the Leather Sofa with her back facing the stairs, watching TV.

The lights were not turned on downstairs. Only the silver moonlight pouring in from the French window and the flickering light from the TV covered the beautiful person on the Sofa in a deep shadow, so that no one could see her expression.

It seemed to be a Korean drama. She was watching it very seriously, so much so that when his tall figure was in front of her, she finally reacted and looked up.

Her face was full of tears. Her pair of watery eyes were like stars in the night sky under the flickering light. It was so beautiful that it almost broke one’s heart.

The man’s brows furrowed even more tightly. He reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. “Why don’t you sleep well? ”

The girl did not say anything. Instead, she stretched out a pair of white arms and wrapped them around the man’s strong legs. Her small head was buried in them. That pitiful look, especially like a puppy abandoned by its owner, was very heartbreaking.

“Ji Yunshen… ”

The girl’s slightly choked voice exploded in the quiet villa. The man’s pupils constricted slightly. His heart felt as if it was being tightly gripped by someone. It was a throbbing pain.

“Hmm, how old are you? You’re still crying while watching TV. ”

“The female lead is so pitiful. Daddy doesn’t love her, Mommy doesn’t love her. All the relatives are annoyed. The only man who loves her has betrayed her again… ”

The man’s large hand landed on the top of the girl’s hair. He gently rubbed it and comforted her, “alright, you’re not her. ”

“No, but it’s very similar. ”

Both of them had experienced a car accident when they were 15 years old. They had all grown up deformed in the shackles of their parents’marriage. The men they loved had their own white moonlight that they needed to protect.

“There are countless people in this world who have similar experiences, but in the end, she must have her ending. You have your ending, and it won’t be the same. ”

The girl nodded her little head and moved away a little. “It’s still early. You should go back to sleep. You have to go to work early. ”

“I should be the one saying that. ”

As he said that, the man bent down and hugged the girl in his arms. The girl cried out in surprise because her body was suddenly suspended in the air. After a while, she said, “Ji Yunshen, put me down. I still want to watch for a while. If I’m sleepy, I’ll sleep on the SOFA. You don’t have to care about me anymore. ”

The man’s brows were tightly furrowed. He walked towards the stairs with his pair of strong and long legs “Can’t sleep because of the nightmares you’ve had these past two days? Man Man, I don’t like to guess. You’re pregnant now. If there’s anything, don’t keep it to yourself. If you do, it won’t be good for you or the baby. Do you understand? ”

Qiao Man’s struggling movements quieted down because of the man’s words, and she slowly nodded. “okay, I understand. ”

…

After returning to the room, Qiao man tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep. However, even though she was asleep, she did not sleep too deeply. As a result, the man lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Even the rustling sound of changing clothes could be heard clearly.

After staying in bed for a while, Qiao man finally got out of bed. She went into the bathroom to wash up and put on some light makeup before walking out of the room.

Ji Yunshen was sitting at the dining table with his legs crossed elegantly. He was holding the newspaper for the day, but when he heard the footsteps, he did not look over.

Qiao man walked towards the dining table and glanced at the newspaper in his hand. She picked up a piece of toast and ate it. After eating one piece, she ate another piece. After eating a few pieces repeatedly and feeling full, she picked up the milk cup in front of her and drank a few mouthfuls.

After the man finished reading the newspaper for the day, he put it aside and elegantly ate the toast in his hand. He asked nonchalantly, “what are the arrangements for the production team today? ”

“It’s still shooting in green screen. In the afternoon, there should be a media visit. ”

“Have you thought of the hot topic to create? ” The man elegantly tugged at the toast and said slowly and calmly “The total investment of the legend of beauty is 500 million. The expected return is 2 billion. The 1.5 billion in the middle can not be supported by the directors and actors alone. When necessary, we have to get some sponsors to alleviate the problem of the funding chain. ”

Qiao man obviously knew that the man was teaching her how to be an investor, or rather, a businessman who knew how to invest.

“I haven’t thought about it yet. This is the first time the male and female leads are working together, and before this, they all had a couple that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience. As for the others, most of them were just young and inexperienced, and they paid extra attention to scandals, so they didn’t have any evidence to leak out. I can’t deliberately make things up, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the scrutiny of time, and it would be easy to slap their faces. ”

The man grunted and seemed to have finished eating. He picked up a Napkin at the side and gently wiped his mouth and hands, then said, “In business, the most taboo is to make the best use of everything, and also to avoid being useless. You have to have a good eye for discovery and the ability to capture, and not wait for them to take the initiative to make a mistake. ”

Until she got into the car, Qiao Man’s ears were still filled with the man’s deep and hoarse voice. [ you have to have a good eye for discovery and the ability to capture things, and not wait for them to take the initiative to make a mistake. ]

She turned her head to look out of the window and suddenly felt very tired, an indescribable feeling.

When they arrived at the set, scene a and scene B were already ready. They were just waiting for the lighting arrangement and the cameraman’s laying of the tracks.

After about twenty minutes, everything was ready. Scene A and scene B started shooting at the same time.

Wen Cheng arrived late at ten o’clock. However, her clothes were much better than yesterday.

Qiao man was engrossed in studying the script, so she did not bother Qiao man much. Instead, she walked back and forth on the set to pass the time.

…

After lunch, it was already close to one o’clock in the afternoon.

Then, the first media visit for “the legend of Beauty” started.

The director, the male lead and female lead, the male two and female two, the male three and female three, and various supporting roles were all interviewed.

Qiao man stood at the back of the crowd and listened attentively to their interpretation of the roles she was playing. They chatted about interesting things that happened on the set, and time seemed to have passed unknowingly.

The media visit would continue until 5 pm, until the last rays of the setting sun shone on every corner of Lin city.

As the producer, Qiao Man, the director, Tang Xiu, and the film’s creators were watching the departure of the various media outlets. Not Far Away, there was an urgent scream accompanied by a mournful scream.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over. Then, messy footsteps were heard as everyone swarmed over.

Blood was everywhere as far as the eye could see.

A girl in a white dress was lying in the middle of the pool of blood. Her dress was torn, and her body was covered with bruises. At first glance, it looked like a scene. The perpetrator had apparently escaped through the smashed glass window.

Qiao man pushed aside the crowd and saw the girl lying on the ground. Her eyes were dyed red by the blood on the ground.

“Wen Cheng, Wen Cheng, wake up. Don’t scare me, Wen Cheng… ”

The flashing lights continued to light up. She hugged the girl and knelt on the ground covered in blood, crying uncontrollably.

…

At six o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Cheng’s first people’s Hospital.

The Red Light in the operating theater was scarlet red. The girl was curled up on a stool in the corridor of the hospital, her entire body shivering.

Ji Yunshen and Meng Dongxing rushed over at almost the same time. When they saw Qiao man curled up on the chair, Meng Dongxing excitedly pulled her over, using the strength to tear her apart.

“Qiao Man, what the Hell happened? How could Wen Cheng… ”

Before Meng Dongxing could finish his words, he was pulled away by Ji Yunshen. Layers of haze fell from his deep brows. “brother Xing, calm down. ”

“Calm Down? Young Master Ji, tell me, how can I calm down? ”

Meng Dongxing almost screamed. Just as he was about to step forward and interrogate Qiao man again, the door of the operating theater was pulled open from the inside. A young nurse took off her mask and asked in a soft voice, “who is the patient’s family member? ” “Who is the patient’s family member? The hospital’s RH negative blood bank is in an emergency and needs a blood transfusion. Which one of you has the same blood type as her? Go to the room next door and draw blood now. ”

Hearing this, Qiao man raised her eyes slightly as if she had lost the ability to react emotionally. “I have RH negative blood. I can give her a blood transfusion. ”

After saying this, she pushed the man in front of her away. Before she could take a step forward, she fell straight forward. The man quickly grabbed her waist and bent down to pick her up. Then, he strode steadily towards the room next door.

She needed a transfusion of 600cc of blood. The girl’s already pale face became even paler.

Her face, hair, and white dress were all stained with blood. There was nothing in her eyes. They were empty like bottomless pools.

The man’s hand was still holding the girl’s other hand, as if he was giving her strength and also comforting her.

Ten minutes later, the 600 cc of blood was drawn out. When the man carried the girl out, Meng Dongxing was leaning against the cold wall and smoking. The thin smoke dispersed in the air and enveloped him, making him look blurry and ethereal.

His emotions seemed to have calmed down. He only smoked, so indifferent that it was almost inhuman.

Time passed by minute by minute. It was not until 11:30 at night that the red light in the operating theater turned green. The attending doctor was the first to walk out.

Meng Dongxing, Ji Yunshen, and Qiao man walked over at almost the same time. Meng Dongxing’s eyes were bloodshot, but his voice was very soft. It was so soft that it floated in the air. “Doctor, how is she? ”

“The patient’s life is not too serious for the time being. It’s just that her brain has been injured. The lightest injury is a decrease in her intelligence. If it’s serious, it’s very likely that she will become a vegetable. ”

Meng Dongxing’s hands that hung by his side loosened and loosened. It took him a long time to find his voice again. “What did you say? ”

“Sir, no one wants something like this to happen. I’m sorry for your loss. ”

The man seemed to have finally exploded. He grabbed the doctor’s collar and roared, “what the F * Ck did you say? Say it again if you have the guts. ”

“Sir… Sir, I’m sorry for your loss… ”

The doctors, nurses, and anesthesiologists who followed the attending doctor came over and pulled the man away. After a few minutes, they pulled the man away from the attending doctor.

The man waved his hand and threw the doctor closest to him to the ground. “F * Ck Off, get lost. ”

When the doctors saw this, they quickly turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. They did not stay any longer.

Two young nurses who were pushing the bed had just pushed Wen Cheng’s bed out of the operating theater. When they saw this scene at the door, their legs were so weak that they did not dare to take another step forward.

Meng Dongxing caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eyes. He walked over with his long legs and lay on the side of the bed. He said gently to the girl on the bed, “Cheng Cheng, don’t be afraid. Brother Xing will bring you home. ”

After he finished speaking, the man stood up straight and pushed the girl into the intensive care unit.

Due to the accident of Wen Cheng, the daughter of the richest Chinese businessman, Wen Jiaming, the entire hospital was surrounded by the media. Meng Dongxing had deployed thousands of bodyguards, but they still could not stop the Paparazzi who were everywhere.

In the end, Ji Yunshen called Fu Qingshan and mobilized thousands of troops to completely drive the media out of the hospital.

Ji Yunshen received the news half an hour earlier than Meng Dongxing, so he started investigating faster than him. He was also the first person to get the surveillance video from the set.

He walked to the man standing outside the ICU and handed him a cigarette. “I asked the doctor carefully just now. The doctor said that she was only molested. She might have been discovered by the crew before she got her way. ”

As he said that, he waved his hand and gestured for the bodyguard to take the tablet containing the surveillance video. The man took it and handed it to Meng Dongxing “from the surveillance video, this man is very skilled. He looks like a trained special forces soldier. Moreover, this man disappeared from the screen, and so did Wen Cheng. In other words, Wen Cheng had an accident because she saw something that she shouldn’t have seen or discovered something that no one knows about. ”

Meng Dongxing smoked his cigarette. There was no expression on his indifferent face. After a few seconds, he said, “I’ll look into this matter myself. Take her away from me! ”

“Brother Xing, it doesn’t matter if I take her or not. What matters is… you. ”

Ji Yunshen took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand and smiled casually. “You’ve been looking for your sister for so long, but you still haven’t found her? ”

“or rather, the sister you found is doing something that has gone astray. You need to spend a lot of energy, so you don’t have time to care about Wen Cheng, right? ”

These few words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but they also seemed to have nothing to do with it.

Meng Dongxing glanced at him and said in a cold voice, “it has nothing to do with her. ”

“Oh, is that so? I hope so. ”

…

At one o’clock in the morning, on the road to the high-class Villas, a smoke-gray Bentley was speeding at full speed.

The girl shrank her shoulders and looked out of the window in a daze.

From the night he proposed with 9,999 roses to today, it had been more than a month.

This month was like the most beautiful dream.

A dream full of fairy tales.

Frame by frame, scene by scene, like a movie clip, replayed in her mind over and over again.

It seemed that people always have to experience something before they understand some truth.

Although she had long experienced the fragility of life, tonight, when she once again felt the fragility of life, besides the piercing pain, there was also helplessness.
