The counterattack of the reserve dad
Chapter 59 Opportunity
Three or ten minutes later, Xie Ange came out of the room, and the two movie stars outside the door were standing.Different from his performance before he entered, both of them were no longer the previous indifferent performance.One of them was standing in his place, while the other seemed to have just returned from outside.Chen Yi was standing behind a movie star at the moment, and Xie Ange squinted his eyes to look at that person. He is quite well-known in the showbiz circle and has won quite a few awards.The man smiled at Xie Ange at this moment, and blinked at him.And the other, clearly expressing dissatisfaction, was staring at him coldly.
Xie Ange looked back at the closed door. There was a thick carpet under the door, and soft rubber was inlaid between the door gaps.Just now when he was inside for a while, what did he do and what did he say, could all the people outside know all about it?
Chen Yi whispered a few words in that movie star's ear, then turned around and walked towards Xie Ange.He behaved as usual: "Wait for him to come out here, and this mission will be considered complete."
Xie Ange nodded and returned to his seat.
The director called another person into the room, and the door closed again.
A few minutes later, Xie Ange got up and went to the toilet.The toilet is at the end of the corridor that turns left when you go out, and at this point in time, only a few of them are active on this floor.Xie Ange walked a few steps, and then heard someone quickly catching up behind him.Xie Ange heard it, and didn't stop, but walked straight into the toilet.
That person also followed in, looking through the mirror of the sink, he was standing behind Xie Ange.With his hands in his pockets, his eyes were still looking at Xie Ange.
"What's the matter with you?" Xie Ange asked, reaching under the faucet of the sink, the sound of water made the tense air pressure in this quiet space slightly relieved.
"Do you know who I am?" the man asked.
"I know you're not Mingsheng's." Xie Ange carefully scrubbed the crevices of his fingers. The hour-long audition just now made his palms sweat a little.
"Hi, out of courtesy, let me introduce myself to you." The man said, "My name is Xu Xun, I'm an actor, and it's true that I'm not affiliated with Mingsheng Company."
Xie Ange looked back at him, nodded and said, "Hello."
"Then, out of politeness, can you tell me, what are you doing here?" Xu Xun said, putting his hands in his pockets, and walked to Xie Ange's right hand side, which is near the door, from the rear position. direction, showing a slight sense of deterrence.
Xie Ange smiled wryly, "The audition..."
"Hahaha..." Xu Xun laughed, "Xie Ange, are you kidding me? Who is Chen Yi and asked you to audition with Fang Chenyao? Does it make sense?"
"No?" Xie Ange sighed.
"No." Xu Xun approached him and said, "Fang Chenyao went out after you went in. The ghost knows where he went. But since you came out of the room and he saw your expression, I knew that you behaved well." good."
Xie Ange was silent for a few seconds. Chen Yi was right, this is indeed an opportunity, but the premise is that he should perform better than the two film kings in front of him and surprise the director even more.To be honest, he didn't have the confidence.What's more, after listening to Xu Xie's words, he knew the real purpose of Chen Yi's coming here.
"Why put a decoration there..." Xie Ange opened his mouth, and said in a voice that only he could hear... Such a door made him feel that he should have a chance...
"What did you say?" Xu Xun smiled, and covered his ear with one hand, signaling that he couldn't hear clearly.
Xie Ange raised his head and said to him coldly, "What's your purpose?"
"I also suffered a big loss this time. Who made me not Mingsheng's person. They have monitors and pinhole cameras, but I only have a small bug, which is not high-definition. After the director said the three After the two words, you didn’t say any meaningful sentences anymore. That old fox is smart enough. But after hearing those three words, it made people even more excited. And what about Chen Yi? He bought the director’s assistant and arranged you In the first place, Fang Chenyao was ranked second, so what chance do I have in the third place?" Xu Xie said, "So, you should be very clear about my purpose. Fang Chenyao How much I have given you, I will give you ten times."
"Ten times?" Xie Ange raised his eyebrows, "...It's a pity that ten times can't save me."
"what?"
"I have something in Chen Yi's hands." Xie Ange shrugged, "Can you give me 500 million for this drama?"
"...This..." Xu Xie obviously retreated a little, "Is your mouth open too much?"
"Help me money, actor." Xie Ange laughed instead.
"...I can't afford the life-saving money for a while..."
"Forget it." Xie Ange took out the paper and wiped his hands clean.
"Hey, hey——" Xu Xie pressed Xie Ange, "You see, for my honesty, please give me some hints! This is considered a favor, and I will pay you back in the future!"
"What the director said is just a similar attribute expression, don't really act like an idiot to show him."
After Xie Ange finished speaking, he waved to Xu Yun and walked out.
Xu Xun snapped his fingers behind and said thank you.
Xie Ange returned to his seat, looked down at his watch, there were still about 15 minutes before Fang Chenyao came out.Chen Yi was nowhere to be found, probably as Xu Yun said, depending on Fang Chenyao's performance.
The director said autism, and four people heard it.Chen Yi was excluded. From the last filming of the commercial, he couldn't put forward any constructive opinions.Then it depends on the performance of the remaining three people.
Judging from the age, appearance and temperament of the three auditioners, Xie Ange didn't think that the director wanted them to act as autistic patients.In addition to the point of view and commerciality, a perfect movie must also consider the range of acceptance by the public.The director's outstanding achievements in the past few times are all excellent in terms of box office, word-of-mouth, popularity, and artistic value.Therefore, Xie Ange's performance in the next ten minutes was not that of an autistic patient.Enlarged perception, hearing, smell, touch, and diminished sense of security, is the world of autism.Some things are excluded from it, and what is filtered out is the feeling suitable for the film that the director needs.Xie Ange watched many movies with his father since he was a child, and he came up with a few scripts that were suitable for this kind of expression.
He picks one and shows it.When he left, the director looked at him a little strangely.
He didn't know if he could be selected, but under the gaze of the actor, he was not sure whether the actor would perform better than him.
☆, where to go ([-])
Five minutes later, Fang Chenyao came out of the room. It was obvious from the expression on his face that he was very confident in his performance.Xie Ange looked at it, and didn't feel any special feeling in his heart.Chen Yi's purpose was told by Xu Xun in advance, so that he could keep calm for a short period of time.But he didn't know what to do with Lan Chen's liquidated damages.Even if he is really lucky enough to be spotted by this director, Chen Yibi will not let him act in this movie so smoothly.
Xie Ange crossed his arms and leaned on the soft armchair, waiting for Chen Yi to drive him out of here after communicating with Fang Chenyao.
Things happened much slower than expected, and the facial expressions of both of them were gentle, like kind neighbors who came over to greet him.
"Let's go, let's have a meal first."
"Don't you need to wait for the result?" Xie Ange said, "There is one more person who hasn't come out."
"Don't worry about him. The director will not tell the parties the results of each audition on the same day." Chen Yi pushed Xie Ange's back, forcing him to walk out of here.
Xie Ange stood up straight helplessly, quickened his pace, so as not to keep being pushed by Chen Yi, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "When I first came in, I thought you were together."
"No." Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "He is not a signed artist of our company."
After leaving the hotel, Chen Yi drove, Xie Ange sat in the passenger seat, and Fang Chenyao sat in the back seat.The car drove smoothly on the sidewalk with little traffic. Chen Yi asked some things that had nothing to do with this audition, such as what he likes to eat, whether he has lost weight and kept fit.Fang Chenyao also answered a few words in a good mood.The three of them, along the way, were like new neighbors who got together to find a restaurant and have a meal in order to exchange feelings.It's not familiar, and it's hard to see what purpose the two parties have.
But at this moment, Xie Ange just felt bored, very bored, and wanted to go home.
The place to eat is relatively remote, but it is a nice private club.A person like Fang Chenyao doesn't eat casually with others, especially a newcomer like him who is about to be labeled as a liar.
At the dinner table, they still chatted one after another.Xie Ange didn't know what kind of food he was eating, anyway, if he put anything in his mouth right now, it wouldn't taste good.Just when Xie Ange's patience was about to reach its limit, Fang Chenyao found an excuse to call outside, leaving Chen Yi and Xie Ange behind.Xie Ange breathed a sigh of relief, it's better to come earlier if it's time to come.
Chen Yi put down his chopsticks, opened his mouth and said to Xie Ange: "Let's finish the meal, even I can see how much you don't want to eat."
"Yes." Xie Ange casually placed the chopsticks on the table, waiting for Chen Yi's next words.
"Who is Fang Chenyao, you know."
"I'm not on the same level as me."
"I didn't say that." Chen Yi said, "So he came this time to give you face."
As Chen Yi said, he took out an envelope from his pocket. Xie Ange glanced at the thickness, and estimated that there was no less than [-] stuffed inside.
"Because you performed well, Fang Chenyao told me to give you double the price." Chen Yi said, "I won't say much else, but taking this is the best I can do for you. Pretty good."
Xie Ange nodded, picked up the envelope, and packed it up: "I'll take the money. So I'm not responsible for the next thing."
Chen Yi smiled: "When he came out, he already had the result of guessing correctly."
"That's good."
"I thought you would struggle a bit. After all, this little money can't get you out of your current predicament."
"I'll struggle a bit, will you give up Fang Chenyao and give me that role?"
"No." Chen Yi said bluntly.
Xie Ange stopped talking to him, packed his things, stood up, and prepared to leave.After walking a few steps, he thought for a while, then turned around and asked Chen Yi, "Where did you help Fang Yingdi install that pinhole camera?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Xie Ange with a somewhat unkind expression.
Xie Ange scratched his nose: "Ah, it's really nothing important. I'm leaving, I hope you don't come looking for me anymore."
I hope Actor Fang is lucky enough to install the camera at the right angle.
☆, home ([-])
Xie Ange went back to the orphanage. As usual, he held the baby with a smile, and accompanied him to eat and take a nap.Then take out the 10 yuan received today, and all the savings that have been withdrawn, and hand them over to the dean.She casually said that because she needs to use cash in the near future, but there is no safe in her room that can store cash, this reason made her hesitate to accept it.
Then in the evening, while the baby was still awake, Xie Ange changed his clothes and went out.He was wearing old clothes from a few years ago, washed old T-shirt jackets, combed his bangs down to cover his eyes.
He still clearly remembered the block and room number of Lin Xiu's house.But it was far away from the orphanage. When he took the bus and wandered slowly to the familiar neighborhood, it was already dark.Passers-by on the road passed him in a hurry, and no one could recognize him.This is of course, because he has changed back to the previous Xie Ange.
He lowered his head and walked slowly, thinking about how to talk to Lin Xiu.This short distance, he walked for a long time.Just like when he first met Lin Xiu, he hesitated at the door for half an hour foolishly.At this moment, he is also in the same mood as that time.But the small courtyard was completely dark. Xie Ange pushed the courtyard door and found that it was not locked.He took a deep breath, pushed the door in, and closed the courtyard door again.
The phone still had 50.00% battery, Xie Ange turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the window of the living room. The weak light could barely see the scene in the living room.It was as if time stayed on the night when he was kicked out, and the untouched mess reappeared in his sight.Xie Ange bit her lip, staring at the scene in a daze.Trembling, he turned off the flashlight, sat down by the door, found Lin Xiu's number in the address book, and pressed the dial button.
Just one ring, hello, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable... an emotionless, beeping busy tone.
Xie Ange fought again, but the result was the same.Lin Xiu... is really gone.
He raised his head, leaned against the door panel weakly, and sighed.
"I'm not here to borrow money...Really." Xie Ange said to himself.Picking up the phone again, wrote a long text message and sent it to Lin Xiu.He himself didn't know if Lin Xiu could receive it.
Then he started to be dazed, staring at the street lights on the sidewalk outside the courtyard wall in a daze.
No one will pay attention to this place. In the courtyard without an owner, under the porch at the entrance, in a dark corner, there is a man hugging his knees, sitting there quietly in a daze.
His mind was blank, he didn't even have any memories, Xie Ange just stared at the warm light of the street lamp, and slowly fell asleep.When he was confused, he heard the sound of leather shoes stepping on the stone bricks, which reminded him of Lin Xiu's warm footsteps when he thought he would freeze to death in the snow that day.He raised his eyelids vigorously, but he couldn't see anyone passing by, probably a neighbor who came home late, he thought.
Now it is the season of summer, there is no heavy snow, and I will no longer hold my child weakly and freeze on the side of the road.
Xie Ange closed his eyes, and heard soft footsteps again.He likes this sound, and the memory in the snow is enough to warm his heart.
Early the next morning, Xie Ange woke up rubbing his eyes at dawn.The cold wind in the morning made him shiver. He hugged his arms and rubbed them together to make himself feel warmer.There was morning dew on the grass stalks in the yard, but his shoes and coat were dry.
Xie Ange patted his clothes and stood up, bought himself a breakfast, then ate while walking, and went to the bus station to wait for the bus.
The first bus drove over slowly, Xie Ange found a corner seat, rested his chin, and looked at the scenery outside.The bus shook slowly for more than two hours before arriving at its destination.Xie Ange jumped out of the car with his hands in his pockets.This area is an old city that has not been completed. The investor has built half of it, but withdrew the investment due to the economic downturn. On the edge of the city, there is an unfinished building that has been abandoned for several years.Xie Ange took out all the money on his body and gave it to the homeless on the side of the road.Then find the entrance of the building, and climb up bit by bit along the wooden shelf used by the construction workers.Standing on the roof of the sixteenth floor, he took out his mobile phone and found a clean place to put it away.After thinking about it, he took off his shoes again.All the shoes he wore before were thrown away by Lin Xiu, but the pair under his feet was bought with Lin Xiu's money.
He walked to the edge of the roof, opened his arms, and felt the wind on the roof.
Doing so, I don't know if it is too cowardly.
☆, where to go ([-])
The phone that was lying quietly on the ground suddenly vibrated.Xie Ange didn't want to answer, but the phone rang several times.The head that was finally emptied was filled with a bunch of messy things.
Xie Ange resignedly came down from the steps on the edge of the roof, walked to the phone and squatted down, squinting and looking at the caller ID on it.
...it was actually Chen Yi...
Xie Ange pressed the answer button, sat down cross-legged, and said lazily, "What are you doing?"
Chen Yi on the opposite side yelled in a state of collapse that Xie Ange had never seen before: "Xie Ange, you fucking bastard!"
"..." Xie Ange rubbed his ears that had been yelled unconscious, and asked again in a good-tempered manner, "Why?"
"Fang Chenyao and I doubled the price to you, and you just treat me like this!"
"What?" Xie Ange smiled, "It's my fault for not being selected in the audition? I even asked where your Fang Yingdi camera was installed? It's not my installation, so it's none of my business if I didn't get selected! Don't bother me! I Busy now!!"
"I don't blame you?" Chen Yi said with panting voice, "Congratulations, the director has chosen you! However, I have already told him about why you fell out with Lanchen Company, Such an artist who can betray his own company, I reckon that anyone with a clear head will not have anything to do with this kind of person."
"Oh..." Xie Ange replied indifferently, and was about to hang up the phone.
But Chen Yi roared again in the receiver, even though the phone was put down, his roar could still be heard.That voice came out of the receiver, and echoed in the lower corridor: "But the director still didn't choose Shang Chenyao, but chose that trash Xu Xie!"
Xie Ange turned his head abruptly, and Chen Yi's angry face slowly appeared in the hut on the roof, which was only rough. He held on to the ladder, his hands were covered with dirty dust, and he climbed up out of breath.
"...Why do you know I'm here?" Xie Ange looked at him in surprise, but he didn't tell anyone.
"What did Xu Xun give you? Is there enough money for you to pay off the liquidated damages!" Chen Yi approached Xie Ange step by step, and he looked around, "Come here because you haven't paid enough? You want to die too ?”
Xie Ange's mind was blank, and the thoughts in his heart were seen through, but he subconsciously ran directly to the edge of the roof.
Chen Yi quickly rushed up, grabbed Xie Ange's shoulder, and dragged him backward.Xie Ange was out of balance due to inertia, and fell backwards. Chen Yi clasped his hands, turned over, let him land on his front, and sat on his back to make Xie Ange completely immobile.
Xie Ange struggled, but was severely punched by Chen Yi.
"So what if you're dead? I can still expose your scandal to the world. You think it's fine if you can't hear or see! I've seen that you have a child, and all your karma will be fulfilled on that child." body. At that time, you will be a jar of dust lying in a jar, and I can only let me manipulate your relatives left in this world at will." Chen Yi said fiercely.
"You can't even think about..."
"Don't think about it?" Chen Yi said, "Xie Ange, I don't like to push people to death. Thanks to you, I was kicked out by Xu Xie because of Fang Chenyao's affairs, and I was kicked out by Mingsheng! I worked so hard. For a long time, I did so many things for Mingsheng, and because of you, I was kicked out."
Chen Yi patted Xie Ange's face, and smiled sinisterly: "If you don't make me feel better, I won't make it easier for you either. What's the matter if you die? If you die, it's a good thing for you. I'll fight now Call the newspaper and tell them how you, Xie Ange, begged me to let him reach the sky in one step, and then what did you do to have a child with Huiru. How is it?"
"Stop! Stop!" Xie Ange yelled, "What on earth do you want!"
"I want you to die! An unsightly death, not such a cheap way of committing suicide in such a desolate place like a wimp!" Chen Yi stared, his eyes were bloodshot, Xie Ange saw them , I know this person is coming for real this time.
Chen Yi controlled Xie Ange's hand with one hand, took out the phone from his pocket with the other, and pressed the number on the screen while smiling.
☆, where to go ([-])
Xie Ange listened to the syllables of the number keys clearly, counted silently in his heart, and tried his best to look sideways at Chen Yi's dialing movements.
Just when the last number was broadcast and the sound of the phone connection sounded, Xie Ange took advantage of Chen Yi's focus on the phone to force himself hard, but was controlled by Chen Yi with one hand and broke free. out.Quickly supporting the ground, the hips and knees exerted force, and the left side sank, causing Chen Yi to fall to the left.Fortunately, this person is not heavy, riding on his waist and abdomen, and his knees are on the ground.As soon as Xie Ange relaxed, he bent down and hit his crotch violently.
Due to the severe pain, Chen Yi curled up on the ground and howled.
Xie Ange got up, snatched his mobile phone, heard that it was already connected, and threw Chen Yi's mobile phone out.The phone knocked against the edge of the roof and then fell downstairs.
Then Xie Ange looked around, and found an abandoned basket by the side of the small room on the roof, with a length of rope protruding from it.He glanced back at Chen Yi and felt that it would be safer to tie him up now.He started to run, wanting to make a quick decision.
Unexpectedly, after he took two steps, he was dragged back, and Chen Yi ruthlessly held onto his leg.Xie Ange once again fell down on the ground due to inertia.
This time, he became concerned, turned around quickly, put his hands on the ground, stabilized his body, and stretched out his feet to stomp on Chen Yi's head.
But Xie Ange didn't wear shoes this time, just feet with socks, so the damage was limited.Chen Yi didn't know what to do, he just held on to Xie Ange's leg and refused to let go.
"What are you doing? Do you want to die together?"
Chen Yi lowered his head, unable to see his expression at the moment, he just stammered: "I won't let you die so easily."
"Let go!" Xie Ange kicked him hard again.
Chen Yi was still holding him firmly, showing no sign of letting go.
During the stalemate, there was movement in the hut on the roof.Xie Ange could only smile wryly, why is it so lively today.Even after a fight with Chen Yi, he still didn't know how they found such a place where there were usually no ghosts.
The man's hand-made custom-made leather shoes quickly stepped out syllables step by step on the quiet ground, walked up to him, raised his crutches and gave Chen Yi a stick on the back of the head.
Xie Ange looked at it with a confused face, this was a person he had never seen in his memory.
The man squatted down, stretched out his hands to rub his forehead hair as if there was nothing there, and said, "Are you Gu Ling's child?"
"..." Xie Ange forcefully separated Chen Yi's hand from his ankle, which was already bruised, "Yes."
"I'm Gu Ling's friend." He said, "No matter what, I can help you."
As he spoke, he took out a snow-white watch from his pocket, Xie Ange recognized that it was something sent by his mother when he was a child.
Why send this person a woman's watch?This question lingered in Xie Ange's mind, but it did prove that this person did know his mother.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." The man reached out and pulled Xie Ange up.
Xie Ange looked at him, feeling that this person looked familiar.A few people in black suits stood at the door of the hut, bowing their heads to salute the man.Only then did Xie Ange realize that this man did not come up alone.
Chen Yi was lying alone on the roof, Xie Ange looked back at him for a few seconds, then turned and followed the man away.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will help you solve it. This is what I owe your mother..."
When the rooftop became quiet again, Chen Yi rubbed the back of his head and stood up. The blow just now was a fake.
He walked slowly to the edge of the hut, walked around the walls where sundries were placed, and stretched out his feet to kick the people behind.
The man sat with his knees bent against the wall, one trouser leg rolled up, exposing the lower half of the metal prosthetic limb, and the wiring of the mechanical prosthetic limb was a little messy.It was Lin Xiu who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Lin Xiu raised his head and hooked his fingers towards him.
Chen Yi knelt down and was punched hard by Lin Xiu.
He indifferently wiped the blood oozing from his mouth: "If you can't do what you promised me, I will kill you."
"You have done a lot of extra things, I want to kill you right now!" Lin Xiu roared.
"Heh." Chen Yi smiled contemptuously and sat down beside Lin Xiu, "Go and stop him if you have the ability to prevent him from committing suicide. Didn't you force him to do this?"
"If you are a few seconds late, I will call him." Lin Xiu raised his head, "You are still on time."
"Of course. How do you guarantee that Mingsheng will keep me?"
"Because Xie Ange will make that movie, and Xie Ange will continue the commercial. Fang Chenyao will know right away that only you can help him."
☆、Lin Zhenxun ([-])
Surrounded by several bodyguards, they carefully descended to the first floor.
The man's health is not very good, he has to stop and rest every few floors.Xie Ange quietly stood aside and watched.He didn't talk much, and he didn't talk much to him, let alone those bodyguards.
It took more than an hour to get down to the bottom of the sixteen-story building.On the way, a bodyguard proposed to carry that man on his back, but he did not agree anyway.The man seemed to be nearly sixty years old, Xie Ange knew in his heart that things like steps would wear down his knees very much, let alone this unfinished building with only steps used by workers, it was indeed too difficult for a man of his age up.
Xie Ange didn't understand how well this person knew his mother before he would climb to the top of this floor himself.He could obviously ask the bodyguards to come up, but he waited downstairs.
An extended car was parked at the entrance on the first floor. Xie Ange estimated the value of the car in his heart, and began to wonder about the identity of this person.
Walking behind the man, he always felt that this man was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't figure out where he had seen him before.
Although he was an old man, this man was still tall and slender, leaning on crutches, his waist was straight, and he walked like a retired military officer.Even though the face is covered with wrinkles, it still makes people feel that when this person was young, his facial features should be handsome and full of charm, but he looked cold.
Xie Ange sat in the back seat with him, and he could feel the person beside him, looking at him quietly, as if he was looking for something through Xie Ange's face.Xie Ange could only smile politely at him in embarrassment, but that gaze remained on his face without moving.Xie Ange could only look straight ahead, looking at the scenery on the road.
The car slowly drove towards a mansion in the suburbs.Xie Ange turned his head and saw the two-lane wide black carved iron gate slowly opening, revealing a large private garden inside.The car stepped on the dark cement road, bypassed the bushes full of flowers, and saw the British tea set on the small Rococo table under the white parasol in the garden, and there was a small lake not far away. .The afternoon sun was dazzling, and there was no wind. The surface of the lake was like a green mirror, with only layers of light scales turned up.The car didn't stop until the gate of the owner's mansion. Xie Ange got off with the man, and the driver drove the car away again.
Xie Ange stared blankly at this huge three-story white building. This bungalow was quite exquisitely built just from its appearance.The butler in a black suit was bending over to salute the man.
"I wouldn't let the driver in, but now I'm old, my eyes are bad, and my legs are bad. I rarely drive by myself." The man said to himself, making Xie Ange a little puzzled.
This is the first sentence he said along the way.
"Did you build this for your wife... What a beautiful house."
The man looked back at Xie Ange with complicated eyes: "I don't have a wife."
"...Sorry, I don't know..."
"It's not that he passed away... it's that there has never been a wife..."
The conversation ended here, Xie Ange could only stand there in embarrassment.The man came over, looked at him for a while, and patted his head gently as if meeting him for the first time, then went in with a cane.
The butler walked up to Xie Ange, gestured to him, and led him in.
The interior also presented a simple and exquisite scene. Xie Ange was brought into the room by the housekeeper and changed into a brand new men's outfit.Xie Ange wanted to ask why there were men's clothes that fit him, but he couldn't ask.The housekeeper looked at him a little strangely, and he seldom talked to him, but he was very careful about sleeping and dining.
Xie Ange ate his two-hour late lunch by himself, and stayed in the guest room with nothing to do.
The butler came over and asked if he had a habit of taking a lunch break.
Xie Ange shook his head and said, "I don't want to sleep yet."
The butler nodded and left, and came back after a while, telling him that the master was looking for him.
Xie Ange walked through the long corridor, looking at the shadow reflected by the sun on the wall, it was white but not warm.
The man was standing on crutches at the door of a room, the door was closed tightly.
The steward took the man to him and withdrew.
"I forgot to tell you just now, my name is Lin Zhenxun, and I am a businessman. Just call me Uncle Lin."
Lin Zhenxun turned his head and asked Xie Ange: "Is your mother okay now?"
"..." Xie Ange paused for a second, "My mother, it's okay in heaven."
"When did it happen..." Lin Zhenxun turned his head sideways, as if trying to hide the expression on his face.
Xie Ange looked at his slightly trembling hand on crutches: "It happened five years ago."
"...Is that so...I never knew...Gu Ling is no longer here." Lin Zhenxun's voice was choked with sobs, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and paused for a few seconds to calm himself down.
When he put down his hand again, his expression returned to normal: "Sorry, I have some things to do right now, you can go around and treat it as your own home. If you need anything, just tell the butler."
After Lin Zhenxun finished speaking, he was about to leave, but stopped after walking a few steps.Turning back to Xie Ange, he said, "Don't worry about your troubles now, I will help you solve them."
He tried his best to soften his face, but it was very stiff, making Xie Ange think that this person hadn't been gentle with others for a long time.
☆、Lin Zhenxun ([-])
After speaking, he didn't look back.Xie Ange stood in the corridor, looking at Lin Zhenxun's leaving back, wondering if he had suddenly aged a bit.The originally proud and straight back, and the upturned head, now lowered.
In the white corridor, Xie Ange was the only one left.
He took a step forward and stood where Lin Zhenxun was just now.When he just came here, Lin Zhenxun still couldn't take back his gaze from staring at the door.Xie Ange pushed open the door and went in. The inside was so dark that only a large suite could be identified.He walked to the window and opened all the thick curtains in front of each window, and the sunlight came in.Xie Ange was blinded by the light. After he got used to the light and opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was a woman's solitary room.
Consistent with the style of the outside, simple but refined western style.But all the decorations here are full of femininity.Carved cabinets, pale pink mattresses, a fitting room in the inner room, and a half-open hanging wardrobe.There is nothing masculine here.What's even more strange is that the dressing table is full of cosmetics and perfumes in exquisite formats, but they have never been opened.Everything is new...
Seeing this, Xie Ange closed the curtains again, closed the door and went out.He remembered what Lin Zhenxun said when he first entered the door...
He has no wife...
Then why is there a single room for women in the house he lives in... And the way he looked at the door just now.
Xie Ange didn't want to think too much, but quickly returned to his room. He called the director of the orphanage and asked about the baby.
Chen Yi didn't show up in the orphanage again, Xie Ange felt a little lucky... Could it be that he lost his memory after being beaten with a cane?
But another phone call brought him back to reality, it was from Li Shen.
"Tomorrow is the day when the liquidated damages are agreed to be paid. I don't know Mr. Xie, are you ready?"
Early the next morning, Li Shen sat in Lan Chen's room with his lawyer.
Xie Ange looked back at the closed door. There was a thick carpet under the door, and soft rubber was inlaid between the door gaps.Just now when he was inside for a while, what did he do and what did he say, could all the people outside know all about it?
Chen Yi whispered a few words in that movie star's ear, then turned around and walked towards Xie Ange.He behaved as usual: "Wait for him to come out here, and this mission will be considered complete."
Xie Ange nodded and returned to his seat.
The director called another person into the room, and the door closed again.
A few minutes later, Xie Ange got up and went to the toilet.The toilet is at the end of the corridor that turns left when you go out, and at this point in time, only a few of them are active on this floor.Xie Ange walked a few steps, and then heard someone quickly catching up behind him.Xie Ange heard it, and didn't stop, but walked straight into the toilet.
That person also followed in, looking through the mirror of the sink, he was standing behind Xie Ange.With his hands in his pockets, his eyes were still looking at Xie Ange.
"What's the matter with you?" Xie Ange asked, reaching under the faucet of the sink, the sound of water made the tense air pressure in this quiet space slightly relieved.
"Do you know who I am?" the man asked.
"I know you're not Mingsheng's." Xie Ange carefully scrubbed the crevices of his fingers. The hour-long audition just now made his palms sweat a little.
"Hi, out of courtesy, let me introduce myself to you." The man said, "My name is Xu Xun, I'm an actor, and it's true that I'm not affiliated with Mingsheng Company."
Xie Ange looked back at him, nodded and said, "Hello."
"Then, out of politeness, can you tell me, what are you doing here?" Xu Xun said, putting his hands in his pockets, and walked to Xie Ange's right hand side, which is near the door, from the rear position. direction, showing a slight sense of deterrence.
Xie Ange smiled wryly, "The audition..."
"Hahaha..." Xu Xun laughed, "Xie Ange, are you kidding me? Who is Chen Yi and asked you to audition with Fang Chenyao? Does it make sense?"
"No?" Xie Ange sighed.
"No." Xu Xun approached him and said, "Fang Chenyao went out after you went in. The ghost knows where he went. But since you came out of the room and he saw your expression, I knew that you behaved well." good."
Xie Ange was silent for a few seconds. Chen Yi was right, this is indeed an opportunity, but the premise is that he should perform better than the two film kings in front of him and surprise the director even more.To be honest, he didn't have the confidence.What's more, after listening to Xu Xie's words, he knew the real purpose of Chen Yi's coming here.
"Why put a decoration there..." Xie Ange opened his mouth, and said in a voice that only he could hear... Such a door made him feel that he should have a chance...
"What did you say?" Xu Xun smiled, and covered his ear with one hand, signaling that he couldn't hear clearly.
Xie Ange raised his head and said to him coldly, "What's your purpose?"
"I also suffered a big loss this time. Who made me not Mingsheng's person. They have monitors and pinhole cameras, but I only have a small bug, which is not high-definition. After the director said the three After the two words, you didn’t say any meaningful sentences anymore. That old fox is smart enough. But after hearing those three words, it made people even more excited. And what about Chen Yi? He bought the director’s assistant and arranged you In the first place, Fang Chenyao was ranked second, so what chance do I have in the third place?" Xu Xie said, "So, you should be very clear about my purpose. Fang Chenyao How much I have given you, I will give you ten times."
"Ten times?" Xie Ange raised his eyebrows, "...It's a pity that ten times can't save me."
"what?"
"I have something in Chen Yi's hands." Xie Ange shrugged, "Can you give me 500 million for this drama?"
"...This..." Xu Xie obviously retreated a little, "Is your mouth open too much?"
"Help me money, actor." Xie Ange laughed instead.
"...I can't afford the life-saving money for a while..."
"Forget it." Xie Ange took out the paper and wiped his hands clean.
"Hey, hey——" Xu Xie pressed Xie Ange, "You see, for my honesty, please give me some hints! This is considered a favor, and I will pay you back in the future!"
"What the director said is just a similar attribute expression, don't really act like an idiot to show him."
After Xie Ange finished speaking, he waved to Xu Yun and walked out.
Xu Xun snapped his fingers behind and said thank you.
Xie Ange returned to his seat, looked down at his watch, there were still about 15 minutes before Fang Chenyao came out.Chen Yi was nowhere to be found, probably as Xu Yun said, depending on Fang Chenyao's performance.
The director said autism, and four people heard it.Chen Yi was excluded. From the last filming of the commercial, he couldn't put forward any constructive opinions.Then it depends on the performance of the remaining three people.
Judging from the age, appearance and temperament of the three auditioners, Xie Ange didn't think that the director wanted them to act as autistic patients.In addition to the point of view and commerciality, a perfect movie must also consider the range of acceptance by the public.The director's outstanding achievements in the past few times are all excellent in terms of box office, word-of-mouth, popularity, and artistic value.Therefore, Xie Ange's performance in the next ten minutes was not that of an autistic patient.Enlarged perception, hearing, smell, touch, and diminished sense of security, is the world of autism.Some things are excluded from it, and what is filtered out is the feeling suitable for the film that the director needs.Xie Ange watched many movies with his father since he was a child, and he came up with a few scripts that were suitable for this kind of expression.
He picks one and shows it.When he left, the director looked at him a little strangely.
He didn't know if he could be selected, but under the gaze of the actor, he was not sure whether the actor would perform better than him.
☆, where to go ([-])
Five minutes later, Fang Chenyao came out of the room. It was obvious from the expression on his face that he was very confident in his performance.Xie Ange looked at it, and didn't feel any special feeling in his heart.Chen Yi's purpose was told by Xu Xun in advance, so that he could keep calm for a short period of time.But he didn't know what to do with Lan Chen's liquidated damages.Even if he is really lucky enough to be spotted by this director, Chen Yibi will not let him act in this movie so smoothly.
Xie Ange crossed his arms and leaned on the soft armchair, waiting for Chen Yi to drive him out of here after communicating with Fang Chenyao.
Things happened much slower than expected, and the facial expressions of both of them were gentle, like kind neighbors who came over to greet him.
"Let's go, let's have a meal first."
"Don't you need to wait for the result?" Xie Ange said, "There is one more person who hasn't come out."
"Don't worry about him. The director will not tell the parties the results of each audition on the same day." Chen Yi pushed Xie Ange's back, forcing him to walk out of here.
Xie Ange stood up straight helplessly, quickened his pace, so as not to keep being pushed by Chen Yi, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "When I first came in, I thought you were together."
"No." Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "He is not a signed artist of our company."
After leaving the hotel, Chen Yi drove, Xie Ange sat in the passenger seat, and Fang Chenyao sat in the back seat.The car drove smoothly on the sidewalk with little traffic. Chen Yi asked some things that had nothing to do with this audition, such as what he likes to eat, whether he has lost weight and kept fit.Fang Chenyao also answered a few words in a good mood.The three of them, along the way, were like new neighbors who got together to find a restaurant and have a meal in order to exchange feelings.It's not familiar, and it's hard to see what purpose the two parties have.
But at this moment, Xie Ange just felt bored, very bored, and wanted to go home.
The place to eat is relatively remote, but it is a nice private club.A person like Fang Chenyao doesn't eat casually with others, especially a newcomer like him who is about to be labeled as a liar.
At the dinner table, they still chatted one after another.Xie Ange didn't know what kind of food he was eating, anyway, if he put anything in his mouth right now, it wouldn't taste good.Just when Xie Ange's patience was about to reach its limit, Fang Chenyao found an excuse to call outside, leaving Chen Yi and Xie Ange behind.Xie Ange breathed a sigh of relief, it's better to come earlier if it's time to come.
Chen Yi put down his chopsticks, opened his mouth and said to Xie Ange: "Let's finish the meal, even I can see how much you don't want to eat."
"Yes." Xie Ange casually placed the chopsticks on the table, waiting for Chen Yi's next words.
"Who is Fang Chenyao, you know."
"I'm not on the same level as me."
"I didn't say that." Chen Yi said, "So he came this time to give you face."
As Chen Yi said, he took out an envelope from his pocket. Xie Ange glanced at the thickness, and estimated that there was no less than [-] stuffed inside.
"Because you performed well, Fang Chenyao told me to give you double the price." Chen Yi said, "I won't say much else, but taking this is the best I can do for you. Pretty good."
Xie Ange nodded, picked up the envelope, and packed it up: "I'll take the money. So I'm not responsible for the next thing."
Chen Yi smiled: "When he came out, he already had the result of guessing correctly."
"That's good."
"I thought you would struggle a bit. After all, this little money can't get you out of your current predicament."
"I'll struggle a bit, will you give up Fang Chenyao and give me that role?"
"No." Chen Yi said bluntly.
Xie Ange stopped talking to him, packed his things, stood up, and prepared to leave.After walking a few steps, he thought for a while, then turned around and asked Chen Yi, "Where did you help Fang Yingdi install that pinhole camera?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Xie Ange with a somewhat unkind expression.
Xie Ange scratched his nose: "Ah, it's really nothing important. I'm leaving, I hope you don't come looking for me anymore."
I hope Actor Fang is lucky enough to install the camera at the right angle.
☆, home ([-])
Xie Ange went back to the orphanage. As usual, he held the baby with a smile, and accompanied him to eat and take a nap.Then take out the 10 yuan received today, and all the savings that have been withdrawn, and hand them over to the dean.She casually said that because she needs to use cash in the near future, but there is no safe in her room that can store cash, this reason made her hesitate to accept it.
Then in the evening, while the baby was still awake, Xie Ange changed his clothes and went out.He was wearing old clothes from a few years ago, washed old T-shirt jackets, combed his bangs down to cover his eyes.
He still clearly remembered the block and room number of Lin Xiu's house.But it was far away from the orphanage. When he took the bus and wandered slowly to the familiar neighborhood, it was already dark.Passers-by on the road passed him in a hurry, and no one could recognize him.This is of course, because he has changed back to the previous Xie Ange.
He lowered his head and walked slowly, thinking about how to talk to Lin Xiu.This short distance, he walked for a long time.Just like when he first met Lin Xiu, he hesitated at the door for half an hour foolishly.At this moment, he is also in the same mood as that time.But the small courtyard was completely dark. Xie Ange pushed the courtyard door and found that it was not locked.He took a deep breath, pushed the door in, and closed the courtyard door again.
The phone still had 50.00% battery, Xie Ange turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the window of the living room. The weak light could barely see the scene in the living room.It was as if time stayed on the night when he was kicked out, and the untouched mess reappeared in his sight.Xie Ange bit her lip, staring at the scene in a daze.Trembling, he turned off the flashlight, sat down by the door, found Lin Xiu's number in the address book, and pressed the dial button.
Just one ring, hello, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable... an emotionless, beeping busy tone.
Xie Ange fought again, but the result was the same.Lin Xiu... is really gone.
He raised his head, leaned against the door panel weakly, and sighed.
"I'm not here to borrow money...Really." Xie Ange said to himself.Picking up the phone again, wrote a long text message and sent it to Lin Xiu.He himself didn't know if Lin Xiu could receive it.
Then he started to be dazed, staring at the street lights on the sidewalk outside the courtyard wall in a daze.
No one will pay attention to this place. In the courtyard without an owner, under the porch at the entrance, in a dark corner, there is a man hugging his knees, sitting there quietly in a daze.
His mind was blank, he didn't even have any memories, Xie Ange just stared at the warm light of the street lamp, and slowly fell asleep.When he was confused, he heard the sound of leather shoes stepping on the stone bricks, which reminded him of Lin Xiu's warm footsteps when he thought he would freeze to death in the snow that day.He raised his eyelids vigorously, but he couldn't see anyone passing by, probably a neighbor who came home late, he thought.
Now it is the season of summer, there is no heavy snow, and I will no longer hold my child weakly and freeze on the side of the road.
Xie Ange closed his eyes, and heard soft footsteps again.He likes this sound, and the memory in the snow is enough to warm his heart.
Early the next morning, Xie Ange woke up rubbing his eyes at dawn.The cold wind in the morning made him shiver. He hugged his arms and rubbed them together to make himself feel warmer.There was morning dew on the grass stalks in the yard, but his shoes and coat were dry.
Xie Ange patted his clothes and stood up, bought himself a breakfast, then ate while walking, and went to the bus station to wait for the bus.
The first bus drove over slowly, Xie Ange found a corner seat, rested his chin, and looked at the scenery outside.The bus shook slowly for more than two hours before arriving at its destination.Xie Ange jumped out of the car with his hands in his pockets.This area is an old city that has not been completed. The investor has built half of it, but withdrew the investment due to the economic downturn. On the edge of the city, there is an unfinished building that has been abandoned for several years.Xie Ange took out all the money on his body and gave it to the homeless on the side of the road.Then find the entrance of the building, and climb up bit by bit along the wooden shelf used by the construction workers.Standing on the roof of the sixteenth floor, he took out his mobile phone and found a clean place to put it away.After thinking about it, he took off his shoes again.All the shoes he wore before were thrown away by Lin Xiu, but the pair under his feet was bought with Lin Xiu's money.
He walked to the edge of the roof, opened his arms, and felt the wind on the roof.
Doing so, I don't know if it is too cowardly.
☆, where to go ([-])
The phone that was lying quietly on the ground suddenly vibrated.Xie Ange didn't want to answer, but the phone rang several times.The head that was finally emptied was filled with a bunch of messy things.
Xie Ange resignedly came down from the steps on the edge of the roof, walked to the phone and squatted down, squinting and looking at the caller ID on it.
...it was actually Chen Yi...
Xie Ange pressed the answer button, sat down cross-legged, and said lazily, "What are you doing?"
Chen Yi on the opposite side yelled in a state of collapse that Xie Ange had never seen before: "Xie Ange, you fucking bastard!"
"..." Xie Ange rubbed his ears that had been yelled unconscious, and asked again in a good-tempered manner, "Why?"
"Fang Chenyao and I doubled the price to you, and you just treat me like this!"
"What?" Xie Ange smiled, "It's my fault for not being selected in the audition? I even asked where your Fang Yingdi camera was installed? It's not my installation, so it's none of my business if I didn't get selected! Don't bother me! I Busy now!!"
"I don't blame you?" Chen Yi said with panting voice, "Congratulations, the director has chosen you! However, I have already told him about why you fell out with Lanchen Company, Such an artist who can betray his own company, I reckon that anyone with a clear head will not have anything to do with this kind of person."
"Oh..." Xie Ange replied indifferently, and was about to hang up the phone.
But Chen Yi roared again in the receiver, even though the phone was put down, his roar could still be heard.That voice came out of the receiver, and echoed in the lower corridor: "But the director still didn't choose Shang Chenyao, but chose that trash Xu Xie!"
Xie Ange turned his head abruptly, and Chen Yi's angry face slowly appeared in the hut on the roof, which was only rough. He held on to the ladder, his hands were covered with dirty dust, and he climbed up out of breath.
"...Why do you know I'm here?" Xie Ange looked at him in surprise, but he didn't tell anyone.
"What did Xu Xun give you? Is there enough money for you to pay off the liquidated damages!" Chen Yi approached Xie Ange step by step, and he looked around, "Come here because you haven't paid enough? You want to die too ?”
Xie Ange's mind was blank, and the thoughts in his heart were seen through, but he subconsciously ran directly to the edge of the roof.
Chen Yi quickly rushed up, grabbed Xie Ange's shoulder, and dragged him backward.Xie Ange was out of balance due to inertia, and fell backwards. Chen Yi clasped his hands, turned over, let him land on his front, and sat on his back to make Xie Ange completely immobile.
Xie Ange struggled, but was severely punched by Chen Yi.
"So what if you're dead? I can still expose your scandal to the world. You think it's fine if you can't hear or see! I've seen that you have a child, and all your karma will be fulfilled on that child." body. At that time, you will be a jar of dust lying in a jar, and I can only let me manipulate your relatives left in this world at will." Chen Yi said fiercely.
"You can't even think about..."
"Don't think about it?" Chen Yi said, "Xie Ange, I don't like to push people to death. Thanks to you, I was kicked out by Xu Xie because of Fang Chenyao's affairs, and I was kicked out by Mingsheng! I worked so hard. For a long time, I did so many things for Mingsheng, and because of you, I was kicked out."
Chen Yi patted Xie Ange's face, and smiled sinisterly: "If you don't make me feel better, I won't make it easier for you either. What's the matter if you die? If you die, it's a good thing for you. I'll fight now Call the newspaper and tell them how you, Xie Ange, begged me to let him reach the sky in one step, and then what did you do to have a child with Huiru. How is it?"
"Stop! Stop!" Xie Ange yelled, "What on earth do you want!"
"I want you to die! An unsightly death, not such a cheap way of committing suicide in such a desolate place like a wimp!" Chen Yi stared, his eyes were bloodshot, Xie Ange saw them , I know this person is coming for real this time.
Chen Yi controlled Xie Ange's hand with one hand, took out the phone from his pocket with the other, and pressed the number on the screen while smiling.
☆, where to go ([-])
Xie Ange listened to the syllables of the number keys clearly, counted silently in his heart, and tried his best to look sideways at Chen Yi's dialing movements.
Just when the last number was broadcast and the sound of the phone connection sounded, Xie Ange took advantage of Chen Yi's focus on the phone to force himself hard, but was controlled by Chen Yi with one hand and broke free. out.Quickly supporting the ground, the hips and knees exerted force, and the left side sank, causing Chen Yi to fall to the left.Fortunately, this person is not heavy, riding on his waist and abdomen, and his knees are on the ground.As soon as Xie Ange relaxed, he bent down and hit his crotch violently.
Due to the severe pain, Chen Yi curled up on the ground and howled.
Xie Ange got up, snatched his mobile phone, heard that it was already connected, and threw Chen Yi's mobile phone out.The phone knocked against the edge of the roof and then fell downstairs.
Then Xie Ange looked around, and found an abandoned basket by the side of the small room on the roof, with a length of rope protruding from it.He glanced back at Chen Yi and felt that it would be safer to tie him up now.He started to run, wanting to make a quick decision.
Unexpectedly, after he took two steps, he was dragged back, and Chen Yi ruthlessly held onto his leg.Xie Ange once again fell down on the ground due to inertia.
This time, he became concerned, turned around quickly, put his hands on the ground, stabilized his body, and stretched out his feet to stomp on Chen Yi's head.
But Xie Ange didn't wear shoes this time, just feet with socks, so the damage was limited.Chen Yi didn't know what to do, he just held on to Xie Ange's leg and refused to let go.
"What are you doing? Do you want to die together?"
Chen Yi lowered his head, unable to see his expression at the moment, he just stammered: "I won't let you die so easily."
"Let go!" Xie Ange kicked him hard again.
Chen Yi was still holding him firmly, showing no sign of letting go.
During the stalemate, there was movement in the hut on the roof.Xie Ange could only smile wryly, why is it so lively today.Even after a fight with Chen Yi, he still didn't know how they found such a place where there were usually no ghosts.
The man's hand-made custom-made leather shoes quickly stepped out syllables step by step on the quiet ground, walked up to him, raised his crutches and gave Chen Yi a stick on the back of the head.
Xie Ange looked at it with a confused face, this was a person he had never seen in his memory.
The man squatted down, stretched out his hands to rub his forehead hair as if there was nothing there, and said, "Are you Gu Ling's child?"
"..." Xie Ange forcefully separated Chen Yi's hand from his ankle, which was already bruised, "Yes."
"I'm Gu Ling's friend." He said, "No matter what, I can help you."
As he spoke, he took out a snow-white watch from his pocket, Xie Ange recognized that it was something sent by his mother when he was a child.
Why send this person a woman's watch?This question lingered in Xie Ange's mind, but it did prove that this person did know his mother.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." The man reached out and pulled Xie Ange up.
Xie Ange looked at him, feeling that this person looked familiar.A few people in black suits stood at the door of the hut, bowing their heads to salute the man.Only then did Xie Ange realize that this man did not come up alone.
Chen Yi was lying alone on the roof, Xie Ange looked back at him for a few seconds, then turned and followed the man away.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will help you solve it. This is what I owe your mother..."
When the rooftop became quiet again, Chen Yi rubbed the back of his head and stood up. The blow just now was a fake.
He walked slowly to the edge of the hut, walked around the walls where sundries were placed, and stretched out his feet to kick the people behind.
The man sat with his knees bent against the wall, one trouser leg rolled up, exposing the lower half of the metal prosthetic limb, and the wiring of the mechanical prosthetic limb was a little messy.It was Lin Xiu who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Lin Xiu raised his head and hooked his fingers towards him.
Chen Yi knelt down and was punched hard by Lin Xiu.
He indifferently wiped the blood oozing from his mouth: "If you can't do what you promised me, I will kill you."
"You have done a lot of extra things, I want to kill you right now!" Lin Xiu roared.
"Heh." Chen Yi smiled contemptuously and sat down beside Lin Xiu, "Go and stop him if you have the ability to prevent him from committing suicide. Didn't you force him to do this?"
"If you are a few seconds late, I will call him." Lin Xiu raised his head, "You are still on time."
"Of course. How do you guarantee that Mingsheng will keep me?"
"Because Xie Ange will make that movie, and Xie Ange will continue the commercial. Fang Chenyao will know right away that only you can help him."
☆、Lin Zhenxun ([-])
Surrounded by several bodyguards, they carefully descended to the first floor.
The man's health is not very good, he has to stop and rest every few floors.Xie Ange quietly stood aside and watched.He didn't talk much, and he didn't talk much to him, let alone those bodyguards.
It took more than an hour to get down to the bottom of the sixteen-story building.On the way, a bodyguard proposed to carry that man on his back, but he did not agree anyway.The man seemed to be nearly sixty years old, Xie Ange knew in his heart that things like steps would wear down his knees very much, let alone this unfinished building with only steps used by workers, it was indeed too difficult for a man of his age up.
Xie Ange didn't understand how well this person knew his mother before he would climb to the top of this floor himself.He could obviously ask the bodyguards to come up, but he waited downstairs.
An extended car was parked at the entrance on the first floor. Xie Ange estimated the value of the car in his heart, and began to wonder about the identity of this person.
Walking behind the man, he always felt that this man was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't figure out where he had seen him before.
Although he was an old man, this man was still tall and slender, leaning on crutches, his waist was straight, and he walked like a retired military officer.Even though the face is covered with wrinkles, it still makes people feel that when this person was young, his facial features should be handsome and full of charm, but he looked cold.
Xie Ange sat in the back seat with him, and he could feel the person beside him, looking at him quietly, as if he was looking for something through Xie Ange's face.Xie Ange could only smile politely at him in embarrassment, but that gaze remained on his face without moving.Xie Ange could only look straight ahead, looking at the scenery on the road.
The car slowly drove towards a mansion in the suburbs.Xie Ange turned his head and saw the two-lane wide black carved iron gate slowly opening, revealing a large private garden inside.The car stepped on the dark cement road, bypassed the bushes full of flowers, and saw the British tea set on the small Rococo table under the white parasol in the garden, and there was a small lake not far away. .The afternoon sun was dazzling, and there was no wind. The surface of the lake was like a green mirror, with only layers of light scales turned up.The car didn't stop until the gate of the owner's mansion. Xie Ange got off with the man, and the driver drove the car away again.
Xie Ange stared blankly at this huge three-story white building. This bungalow was quite exquisitely built just from its appearance.The butler in a black suit was bending over to salute the man.
"I wouldn't let the driver in, but now I'm old, my eyes are bad, and my legs are bad. I rarely drive by myself." The man said to himself, making Xie Ange a little puzzled.
This is the first sentence he said along the way.
"Did you build this for your wife... What a beautiful house."
The man looked back at Xie Ange with complicated eyes: "I don't have a wife."
"...Sorry, I don't know..."
"It's not that he passed away... it's that there has never been a wife..."
The conversation ended here, Xie Ange could only stand there in embarrassment.The man came over, looked at him for a while, and patted his head gently as if meeting him for the first time, then went in with a cane.
The butler walked up to Xie Ange, gestured to him, and led him in.
The interior also presented a simple and exquisite scene. Xie Ange was brought into the room by the housekeeper and changed into a brand new men's outfit.Xie Ange wanted to ask why there were men's clothes that fit him, but he couldn't ask.The housekeeper looked at him a little strangely, and he seldom talked to him, but he was very careful about sleeping and dining.
Xie Ange ate his two-hour late lunch by himself, and stayed in the guest room with nothing to do.
The butler came over and asked if he had a habit of taking a lunch break.
Xie Ange shook his head and said, "I don't want to sleep yet."
The butler nodded and left, and came back after a while, telling him that the master was looking for him.
Xie Ange walked through the long corridor, looking at the shadow reflected by the sun on the wall, it was white but not warm.
The man was standing on crutches at the door of a room, the door was closed tightly.
The steward took the man to him and withdrew.
"I forgot to tell you just now, my name is Lin Zhenxun, and I am a businessman. Just call me Uncle Lin."
Lin Zhenxun turned his head and asked Xie Ange: "Is your mother okay now?"
"..." Xie Ange paused for a second, "My mother, it's okay in heaven."
"When did it happen..." Lin Zhenxun turned his head sideways, as if trying to hide the expression on his face.
Xie Ange looked at his slightly trembling hand on crutches: "It happened five years ago."
"...Is that so...I never knew...Gu Ling is no longer here." Lin Zhenxun's voice was choked with sobs, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and paused for a few seconds to calm himself down.
When he put down his hand again, his expression returned to normal: "Sorry, I have some things to do right now, you can go around and treat it as your own home. If you need anything, just tell the butler."
After Lin Zhenxun finished speaking, he was about to leave, but stopped after walking a few steps.Turning back to Xie Ange, he said, "Don't worry about your troubles now, I will help you solve them."
He tried his best to soften his face, but it was very stiff, making Xie Ange think that this person hadn't been gentle with others for a long time.
☆、Lin Zhenxun ([-])
After speaking, he didn't look back.Xie Ange stood in the corridor, looking at Lin Zhenxun's leaving back, wondering if he had suddenly aged a bit.The originally proud and straight back, and the upturned head, now lowered.
In the white corridor, Xie Ange was the only one left.
He took a step forward and stood where Lin Zhenxun was just now.When he just came here, Lin Zhenxun still couldn't take back his gaze from staring at the door.Xie Ange pushed open the door and went in. The inside was so dark that only a large suite could be identified.He walked to the window and opened all the thick curtains in front of each window, and the sunlight came in.Xie Ange was blinded by the light. After he got used to the light and opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was a woman's solitary room.
Consistent with the style of the outside, simple but refined western style.But all the decorations here are full of femininity.Carved cabinets, pale pink mattresses, a fitting room in the inner room, and a half-open hanging wardrobe.There is nothing masculine here.What's even more strange is that the dressing table is full of cosmetics and perfumes in exquisite formats, but they have never been opened.Everything is new...
Seeing this, Xie Ange closed the curtains again, closed the door and went out.He remembered what Lin Zhenxun said when he first entered the door...
He has no wife...
Then why is there a single room for women in the house he lives in... And the way he looked at the door just now.
Xie Ange didn't want to think too much, but quickly returned to his room. He called the director of the orphanage and asked about the baby.
Chen Yi didn't show up in the orphanage again, Xie Ange felt a little lucky... Could it be that he lost his memory after being beaten with a cane?
But another phone call brought him back to reality, it was from Li Shen.
"Tomorrow is the day when the liquidated damages are agreed to be paid. I don't know Mr. Xie, are you ready?"
Early the next morning, Li Shen sat in Lan Chen's room with his lawyer.
