It was unknown who they were shooting, but after the work ended, the manager also expressed his condolences. He also wanted to ask for a meal, but Xia Ying could feel that the company was trying to curry favor with him, as the contract was still more than two months away.
Although this new person in the entertainment circle could be swapped for the old, and things would change very quickly, his popularity over the years could still be considered to be enough. Xing Suo definitely wasn't willing to let her off that easily.
It seemed to be very busy as he ran around everywhere. Today was a little accessory here, and yesterday was a little item there, so it was a gift that girls would like.
Xia Ying was at a loss for words, afraid that she would soften her heart and forget about the pain after healing herself. Actually, she also knew that Chen Ang was not the only one who was ungrateful.
Whether it was the sincerity of his sacrifice or his true love, it wasn't true love. It was just that he really needed that sort of companionship. The gifts were all thrown aside, not wanting to give any sort of response.
On the other hand, when Zhong Zhen saw that pile of items, he was extremely frustrated. "That's how I watch it every day." "They won't be able to blossom." Xia Ying came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. "I'm getting annoyed looking at it, too. Help me throw it away." "Then she went back to her room.
Zhong Zhen felt that his bliss had come too suddenly. He took the ugliest trash bag, packed everything up properly, and jumped out of the door to throw everything away. This was the first time he felt that throwing away all the trash was exciting.
During dinner, Xia Ying received a phone call from the dining table. When she saw the number, she frowned, put down her chopsticks, and picked it up as she walked, "What happened?"
"You want money?" She was too tired to retort and didn't know what to say.
Seeing Xia Ying who had already returned to his room, Zhong Zhen did not need to think much to guess who it was.
He really wanted to solve this problem, but he was afraid that Xia Ying would be angry after finding out. After all, with her personality, she would definitely not allow him to meddle in this matter. Did he just sit back and do nothing? Looking at Xia Ying's tired expression, no matter how impossible it was, it was impossible.
"Xiao Ying, Daddy can't help you either. Help me one more time, just once!"
"Time and time, how many times has it been? Do you think I'm a cash machine? "
"Isn't that so? It's definitely easy to earn money with a famous celebrity like you. Anyway, just walk a few laps around and take two more photos, then you'll be rich, right?" "Help me!"
"Ha …" It's not enough to force mother to death, but you still want to force me to death, right? " Xia Ying sat on the ground, dispirited and powerless, she really did not know what to say.
She thought about that nightmarish night when she was tied to a chair and watched her mother cut open her own wrist. Blood spread in the bathtub, and in the end, there was only her pale mother and a jar of blood.
Why do we have to be so cruel?
He hated himself for being surnamed Xia, hated Xia Teng for being shameless and cheating, hated his mother, who even had to die for him to see with his own eyes. But in the end, even she could not keep that final promise.
"Xia Xia, mom is really tired, I can't hold on anymore, don't blame me, okay, I want to end this, I want you to watch, that scumbag forced me to this step, so, from now on, he's not your dad, no matter what, don't get involved with him, you have to live your own life."
Xia Teng, who was on the other side, was still talking non-stop. Xia Ying was in a daze, "I won't give you more money, I really won't." For people like you, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me anymore. "
"You! You little girl, I'm your father, so it's only right for you to give me money! You want to cut it in half? In your dreams, don't forget that even though you've climbed so high, I still have some credit for it! "Let me tell you, if you don't have the money, you can just wait until your reputation is ruined!"
Xia Ying did not want to continue listening. She was too tired, so she hung up the phone and closed the phone. No matter what happened in the future, she really couldn't care about it anymore. Right now, she was too tired. She was too tired to think about the future anymore.
Emptiness and tiredness constantly rapped against the remaining rationality. At this moment, she was only doubting who she was and where she was. Where should I go?
Finally, he understood that his mother was hopeless at first. Everything in the past was like a dream, he couldn't grasp even a sliver of hope. Such days were like walking dead.
It turned out that forcing her to face death head-on was only because she was afraid that her soft-heartedness would ruin her entire life. But what was she doing now? How could he live up to his mother's painstaking efforts.
Why did her mother die? Why did it have to be Xia Teng? Mercy was an indulgence to him. This time, she really steeled her heart.
Zhong Zhen stood quietly outside the door, knowing that she was in a difficult situation, but he never thought that everything would turn out like this. Zhong Zhen accompanied his outside as he thought about how to solve this problem.
The next day, without knowing where Chen Ang got the news, he came to find Xia Ying very early, and stood outside the house, calling again and again, but in the end, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. Seeing that it was Zhong Zhen who opened the door, he was startled for a moment, then said: "Assistant Xia Ying, where is she, I have something urgent for her."
"Sorry, she's on leave and won't see anyone."
"Then I think you're mistaken. I might be the only person you're talking about." Chen Ang was very pleased that he had accepted all of his gifts.
Zhong Zhen could not help but sneer: "Oh, right, the gifts you sent me were all there." He raised his chin and pointed at the trash can.
Chen Ang looked at the trash can, and became extremely angry, "Who do you think you are, you care too much! Get out of my way! " As he spoke, he pushed Zhong Zhen away and entered the house. Naturally, Zhong Zhen did not give way. The two of them did not budge. Xia Ying heard the noise and came down from the stairs.
"If you want to argue again, then scram!" She lifted her hair irritably. The two people at the door immediately quieted down.
"What is it?"
Chen Ang looked at Zhong Zhen, of course he knew what he meant, but he did not have the mind to reply, "If you have something to say, then say it, and scram."
Zhong Zhen looked at the domineering face of the goddess with a face full of worship, making Chen Ang even more embarrassed. He coughed dryly, "You … "My father came to see me last night." With that, he looked at Xia Ying and did not finish her words.
Xia Ying had long been helpless, she sighed, then said to Chen Ang: "Let's talk in the study room."
Chen Ang turned and glanced at Zhong Zhen, the disdain in his eyes made Zhong Zhen flustered and exasperated. This was not a good person either, how could he let the goddess be with him alone? If he wanted to follow them, Xia Ying would definitely forbid it, so he could only wait for the two to enter, before sneaking in.
"Speak, why is he looking for you?" What are you looking for me for? "
"He is nothing but money. Xiao Ying, has it been like this all these years? Why didn't you tell me? I can also help you think of a way! " Xia Ying looked at the sincere Chen Ang in front of her. No matter if it was true love or false intentions, she was unwilling to believe it.
Facts have proven that softhearted people will not end up well, and mother is the best example.
"There's no need."
"Don't be like this, weren't we fine before? You can even forget? I don't believe it! "
"You said it was the first time. It's all in the past now." Don't make it too ugly, okay? I don't have the mood to talk about this right now. Xia Ying pointed to the door.
"Xiao Ying, your father said he wanted to destroy you. I don't know why the two of you are acting this way, but I can't just ignore his words. "Believe me once more. This time, I will help you settle this matter once and for all."
"Humph!" How was he going to deal with it? You killed him? "It would be better to just kill me. If you kill me, no one will give him money, and he will just die."
As Chen Ang looked at Xia Ying's dark circles, he could guess that she must have not slept for the entire night. This father of hers knew this in the past, but he didn't expect that after not seeing his for two years, Xia Teng had actually restrained himself and become even more serious.
"Chen Ang, I said that I do not need anyone to help me with these things, I did not use them in the past, and I do not use them now either. I can't guess at your selfishness, and I don't want to. "
"Yes, I have my own selfish thoughts. I love you. Can't I accept such selfishness?" Chen Ang grabbed Xia Ying's hand, "I was really wrong, Xiao Ying! Xiao Ying. "
"Let go." Xia Ying could not shake off those hands, "I told you to let go!"
Zhong Zhen really could not hold it in, he smashed the door and rushed in, grabbing Xia Ying and protecting him behind him, "Scram!" It only spoke one word to Chen Ang, and it was extremely vicious, and that was in an manner that even Xia Ying had never seen before.
Xia Ying stood behind him in an unexpected silence. She felt that her reliance at this moment was extremely real.
Sometimes, the dependence on a person is inexplicable. In that moment, all of his defenses collapsed, all the grievances and resentment accumulated over the years rolled over and over, Xia Ying himself did not realise, and in an instant, tears filled his entire face.
Chen Ang wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only lonely walk out of the villa and into the trash can. Inside lay the gift he had given her. It turned out that his heart had been trampled over like this.
But he still couldn't bear to put it down.
Back then, when he independent from his family, he really needed that contract to solidify his position. Only then would he be foolish enough to sacrifice Xia Ying in exchange for some achievements in her career. But she was truly wrong. Even after two years, she was still unable to put it down.
This time, no matter what, he had to give it his all.
Zhong Zhen who was in the room turned around and looked at Xia Ying. He reached out to wipe the tears on Xia Ying's face and asked softly, "Leave it to me. Leave everything to me. Xia Ying's shoulders drooped, but when he heard what his follower said, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him.
This person did not seem simple on the surface, but she could not see through him. She was too tired to believe this person in front of her, and her mind was in a mess.
She was afraid to rely on it, because everything she got was risky and nothing was indestructible. The feeling of having someone wait right after she turned around was simply too wonderful. She was afraid that she would be attached to someone and want more. So for a long time, I'd rather not have anything. This was the safest way.
Thinking about how he was so young, he sat on the swing in the setting sun, swaying. Not far away were aunties buying vegetables and picking up children, and the old grandpa downstairs was playing chess in the pavilion. The wind was also warm and itchy.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt that he was being gently embraced by someone. He could vaguely hear the person who should have called out 'daddy' laughing as he said, "This girl can't hold on any longer and fell asleep."
And now, everything was fake. At this moment, she couldn't help but say to the person in front of her, "I really want to borrow your shoulder."
