Feng Zhongliang sat for a while, then lifted the quilt and asked Xiao Liu to help him stand up.
Xiao Liu wanted to persuade him, but he insisted on getting up. He had a stubborn temper and Xiao Liu had no way to deal with him.
The table where he and Jiang Se had dinner last night had been cleared by the servants, and all the marks on it had been wiped clean. He pulled the chair with his hand that was not receiving the IV drip. Seeing his trembling appearance, Xiao Liu became a little worried:
"You should be careful."
Pulling the chair away for him, Feng Zhongliang sat down in the place where Jiang Se had sat yesterday. He recalled Jiang Se's expression when she was writing last night, and tried hard to think whether she wrote the word "kou" in a circular way.
This matter is too serious for him to make random guesses.
He tried to draw it several times, but the more he drew, the more confused his mind became.
Last night he was in a rare good mood and drank a little too much, so he couldn't remember many things clearly.
He called to Xiao Liu again, "Go sit where I sat yesterday."
Xiao Liu didn't know what was going on, but seeing that he insisted, he had no choice but to sit down as he was told. He drew a few more times and asked Xiao Liu:
“Did you see how I wrote it?”
Xiao Liu nodded, somewhat confused: "I see."
"Did the young lady write this last night?"
He instinctively treated Jiang Se as his granddaughter, but he was still unaware of it.
When Xiao Liu was asked this question, he didn't dare to answer.
Feng Zhongliang's expression was a little strange, and his question was also strange. He said honestly:
"Master, I was standing far away last night. I only heard you chatting with Miss Jiang, and suddenly you blamed her."
"How did I scold you?" Feng Zhongliang asked, touching the table. Xiao Liu thought for a while. He could not remember the original words, but he still remembered the general meaning: "You wrote it wrong! I told you many times that the order of the word '口' is not like this. You have been taught since you were a child, but you never change!"
After he said this, he mentioned the writing method of the word "口", which confirmed Feng Zhongliang's guess.
At this moment, tears welled up in Feng Zhongliang's eyes.
When there are too many coincidences, they can no longer be regarded as coincidences. This kind of weird thing should be nonsense to Feng Zhongliang, but at this time he always feels that maybe his granddaughter has returned to him in another way.
But such a thing was too unbelievable, unheard of, and of great importance. He could not be so arbitrary and needed to find more evidence to prove his guess.
Feng Zhongliang was leaning on the table with his hands, an IV drip inserted in the back of his hand. He had a complicated expression, his eyes were somewhat sad, yet also a little happy, with tears in his eyes.
"If you want to know what happened last night, why not give Miss Jiang a call and ask her over."
Xiao Liu was unsure of what Feng Zhongliang was thinking and hesitated before making the proposal.
"Not for now." Feng Zhongliang shook his head. This matter cannot be carried out rashly. "I am in this state now. Asking her to come over is just a waste of worry."
After he finished speaking, his heart was still in turmoil. After a while, he looked at the time and asked:
"What time is it?"
Xiao Liu raised his wrist to look at the watch. It was already half past seven since Feng Zhongliang woke up. He had been through so many things in just a few hours and his face was already very pale. Xiao Liu was about to persuade him to follow the doctor's advice and sleep for a while, but Feng Zhongliang motioned for Xiao Liu to help him get up and sat down by the phone. After hesitating for a moment, he still dialed Jiang Se's number.
Feng Nan had already developed a routine in her life, and she would usually wake up around seven in the morning. Feng Zhongliang rationally felt that his guess was too incredible. He had seen a lot of things at this age, and had also experienced life and death. But at this moment, he found it very difficult to control himself from making such a guess.
The call was quickly connected, and Jiang Se's voice came through the microphone, calling out:
"grandfather."
Feng Zhongliang couldn't help but recall the first time he met her. When she called him like that, he was actually very unhappy.
He didn't like to make random connections with other people, so naturally he didn't feel anything when she called him "Grandpa".
After we got to know each other, he started treating her as his granddaughter, so I wasn't surprised to hear that.
But at this moment, he didn't know if he had any doubts in his heart, but when he heard her call him like this, he felt particularly deeply touched.
He took several deep breaths in succession. Xiao Liu was afraid that he would get excited again and something might go wrong, so he quickly got some medicine for him to swallow.
Feng Zhongliang pursed his lips tightly and listened to her question with some concern:
"You were drunk last night. Are you feeling better today?"
"Okay, much better." He felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes felt hot just by listening to Jiang Se's words.
At this moment, he hoped so much that his guess was true. This was his granddaughter, well-behaved and caring, but for some reason, she had become a different person.
Jiang Se asked about his health, fearing that he might have a headache after getting drunk, but he flatly denied it:
"No, I'm in good health. How can that little bit of wine make me feel uncomfortable? I didn't get up until seven." He was afraid that Jiang Se would worry, so he found another excuse:
"I heard from your Uncle Liu that I got drunk and lost my temper yesterday, so I called to ask you. Don't take it personally."
Jiang Se smiled and said, "Why would I be angry with you? I know you didn't mean it. You should rest more and drink less. The weather is getting hot, so let someone else take care of the garden."
Feng Zhongliang would never listen to these words if others said them before, but now he responded to them repeatedly.
Xiao Liu was watching from the side, puzzled. Feng Zhongliang's expression was horrifying before, and after hearing about the argument between him and Jiang Se after drinking last night, his blood pressure rose. He hurriedly called the family doctor.
Originally, Xiao Liu guessed that he must be angry with Jiang Se, but now it seems that he spoke to Jiang Se in a soft tone and with a friendly expression. His previous bad temper was gone. He was like an obedient old man who listened to his juniors. How could he be angry at all
He was even afraid that Jiang Se would worry, so he didn't say a word about his previous dangerous situation.
"Maybe I won't be able to come to see you for the next six months." Jiang Se said this, Feng Zhongliang was a little anxious, she explained:
"I have to sign a contract with director Zhang Jing'an's crew. It will take about 200 days to learn and shoot the film."
Feng Zhongliang showed disappointment on his face. He remembered that Jiang Se had said coquettishly that Xia Chaoqun had arranged a full schedule for her, and he was a little dissatisfied:
"What's wrong with Chaoqun? Is an actor's job so busy?"
"This is what I want to do next." Hearing the disappointment in Feng Zhongliang's words, Jiang Se hesitated for a moment and told him something: "This movie is related to some of my past events and shadows. I want to completely get rid of it so that it can no longer affect me."
Her tone was gentle but firm, and it was obvious that she had already made up her mind.
Feng Zhongliang always felt that Jiang Se resembled Feng Nan a bit.
He gritted his teeth, his face tensed, and he squinted his eyes, finally making up his mind:
"Then take some time to come over and give me some advice. I want to carve the stone you gave me into a seal."
He got drunk last night and made mistakes, so he wanted Jiang Se to write his name again in front of him. He wanted to see whether he was just imagining things or if there really were such wonderful things in the world.
She agreed, and Feng Zhongliang hung up the phone, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. He remembered what Jiang Se had said before, and told Xiao Liu:
"Go check and find out what kind of movies Zhang Jing'an made."
He vaguely felt that something was not right, and the truth of all things seemed to be hidden behind a thin layer of fog, revealing only a few clues.
Feng Zhongliang thought carefully about the time when Feng Nan changed. When Xiao Liu got his instructions and turned to leave, he stopped him again:
"return."
He waved his hand and said, "Please help me check Jiang Se's information."
"Would you like to see Miss Jiang's information first, or Zhang Jing'an's movie?" Xiao Liu didn't know what Feng Zhongliang was thinking, so he asked out of caution.
He paused for a moment, and continued:
"Look up the information first, and then put the movie on hold."
After saying this, a very complicated expression appeared on his face, as if he was expecting something, but also a little bit nervous, with anxiety in his eyes, as if something big was about to happen.
Xiao Liu had never seen Feng Zhongliang like this before. He was about to speak, but he saw that after Feng Zhongliang finished speaking, he lowered his head, leaned against the sofa, squinted his eyes, as if he had let go of something on his mind.
Jiang Se didn't know that Feng Zhongliang had already started looking for someone to investigate her. After she finished talking to Feng Zhongliang on the phone, she vaguely felt that her grandfather's tone was a little strange. Afterwards, she called Xiao Liu to inquire about Feng Zhongliang's news.
Feng Zhongliang's blood pressure rose in the morning because of Jiang Se's matter. Xiao Liu was investigating Jiang Se on Feng Zhongliang's orders. After receiving Jiang Se's call, Xiao Liu naturally concealed some things before he understood Feng Zhongliang's attitude clearly.
Xiao Liu didn't mention what Feng Zhongliang didn't say when he called in the morning, and he just told Jiang Se that everything was fine.
Jiang Se didn't get any information from Xiao Liu, and he had something important to do in the afternoon, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
The conversation with Zhang Jing'an went very smoothly. After Jiang Se confirmed that he would take on the script of "A Glimmer of Hope", he first overcame his psychological barriers and took advantage of the past few days to read the script twice.
Zhang Jing'an was satisfied with her attitude, and her performance during the audition that day was obvious to all. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, she should have gotten the role, and the only remaining issue is the remuneration.
She took on the role in "The Devil" and worked with Liu Ye. Although "The Devil" has not been released yet, Jiang Se's value has been gradually increasing. Even if her pay for this movie is not as high as Tao Cen, who was originally going to play the leading female role, it will not be lower than that for "The Devil".
Jiang Se didn't care about negotiating the price and left it to Xia Chaoqun to solve. The main reason she took on this movie was because of Pei Yi's encouragement and her ability to overcome her own problems.
The next night, Ms. Federer hosted a banquet at her villa in the southern suburbs of the imperial capital. This was Ms. Federer's private territory. When Jiang Se came over, the banquet had not officially started yet.
There were already quite a few cars parked in front of the lawn. When Jiang Se came out of the car holding her skirt, a black Rolls-Royce also parked on the parking lot. Xia Chaoqun adjusted her skirt. The door of the car that had just stopped opened, and the driver who got out first opened the door of the back seat of the car.
When Mr. Bueler, in a black suit, appeared in front of Jiang Se holding Feng Nan's hand, Feng Nan was wearing the royal blue dress with a cape that Jiang Se saw in the Givenchy store that day! (To be continued)
