Jiang Se was willing to take the initiative to talk to him about this matter, which showed that she had truly accepted him deep in her heart. There was no longer the previous estrangement, but she told him many things naturally.
"There are some things that no one can tell, not even Grandpa." Her thin eyelids drooped, hiding the sorrow in her large almond-shaped eyes, and her voice was a little soft: "In fact, I have been thinking, what I am afraid of is dying in the room where I was kidnapped, or what I am afraid of is that my family will give up on me."
The lines spoken by Daniel, Liu Ye and others during the filming made her analyze her past self more deeply.
What she feared was the pain of having her nails pulled out, or the terror of being abandoned by her parents and relatives.
After kidnapping her, the kidnappers also asked about the ransom but there was no whereabouts of it. At that time, her father was having an affair with a woman outside and her mother didn't pay the most attention to her. The Feng family had too many children and grandchildren, and the daughter could count more than ten of them at once.
One less or one more would not make much difference.
The old Jiang Se couldn’t tell whether it was the physical pain that brought her more fear, or the despair of being abandoned by her family and dying in that dark room that was greater.
Just as Pei Yi said, the most frightening thing was not what had happened. After all, she was rescued afterwards and she is still alive and well.
The most frightening things are often her own imagination and some things she dare not touch.
She couldn't tell whether she hated the kidnappers the most or her parents the most. She had never dared to think about this before. Some things seemed too boring once you think about them.
Feng Zhongliang saved her that year, which made her feel that at least someone in the Feng family still cared about her and had not given up on her. However, the accusations from her parents afterwards still caused her a lot of confusion.
So she didn't dare to disobey and obey her grandfather's teachings. Now that she thinks about it, "I'm afraid that my grandfather will give up on me."
So she was quiet, docile and obedient, following her parents' arrangements to go on a blind date with Zhao Junhan for dinner. She instinctively rejected Pei Yi's feelings and did not dare to get close to him. She had no close friends from her girlhood to adulthood, and was not used to having physical contact with people she was not close to.
If Pei Yi hadn't pursued her, she suspected that with her personality, she might have been lonely until old age.
Until one day she was reborn, breaking free from the shackles of the past and no longer a daughter of a wealthy family. It seemed as if the world slowly opened up another path for her.
With a new identity, she can boldly act like a spoiled child to her grandfather, refuse some of his requests, become an actress she wants to be, fall in love with Pei Yi, and do many things she didn't dare to do before, without having to live her life according to a routine.
"Sese." Pei Yi hugged her tightly. She raised her chin and rested it on his shoulder. Her eyelashes were covered with mist. She also reached out to hug him tightly. She wanted to say something, but Pei Yi called her again:
"Sese, listen to me."
"The leader of the kidnappers back then was named Jiang Zhiyuan." He mentioned Jiang Zhiyuan's name on purpose. She sniffed and felt him hug her tighter, as if she wanted to rub into his flesh and blood.
"He is Jiang Se's father." After he said this, he put his arms around her slender waist and said lightly:
"Biological father."
When she heard this, her legs went weak. He had already anticipated this outcome and held her entire weight in his arms.
"Don't hold back if you have something to say. You need to tell me. We are lovers and future husband and wife. We have a long way to go. I promised you that I don't want to hide it from you. I also hope that if you have something on your mind, you can tell me."
At this moment Jiang Se felt a little confused. She heard every word Pei Yi said, but it took a long time for these words to enter her mind.
By the time she realized what Pei Yi had said, she had already limp in his arms, and even her arms that were meant to hug him could only rest limply on his shoulders.
What else could she say? She wanted to laugh, thinking that this was really too strange, but she couldn't.
She hoped that Pei Yi would tell her the next second that he was joking, but she knew his character. He loved her and would never play such a bad joke to tease her or make her sad.
"Biological father?" She felt it was ridiculous and wanted to laugh when she said this, but the corners of her mouth were so stiff that she couldn't control them.
"Really?"
"Really." He nodded and hugged Jiang Se tighter. "He's out of prison. He's back from Hong Kong. It's been more than half a year. Sese, the reason why Grandpa Feng didn't contact you is because he can't figure out this person's personality."
Jiang Zhiyuan went to jail for committing a crime for his daughter. When he was released, his daughter became as prosperous as he wished, but he had no intention of contacting her at all.
If he didn't love Jiang Se, he wouldn't have taken the risk, let alone sneaked into the Du family and almost killed all the Du family members because Du Changqun treated Jiang Se badly.
But if you say he loves Jiang Se, it is the natural relationship between father and daughter, and he should meet Jiang Se no matter what, but he didn't.
This person's personality is difficult to figure out, and because of this story, Feng Zhongliang has to have someone keep a close eye on him and not let him bring any harm to Jiang Se.
Jiang Se was greatly shocked that day. The leader of the kidnappers who hurt him that day has now become his father. This situation is simply unbelievable.
She used to think that her rebirth as Jiang Se might just be an accident, but now she felt that something was not right.
Because of the shock brought by Jiang Zhiyuan's incident, Jiang Se didn't feel much excitement when Feng Zhongliang recognized her, not to mention Pei Yi's words that he wanted to go back to school to prepare for the next exercise. She found it difficult to suppress the reluctance to leave.
The filming of "A Glimmer of Hope" was not completed until early February, and Zhang Jing'an's satisfaction with the film is evident between the lines.
This time he made a sudden decision to replace the female lead, which put him under a lot of pressure, but he did not expect to receive an unexpected result.
Jiang Se's performance really surprised Zhang Jing'an. She grasped Tang Jing's emotions before and after being kidnapped so accurately. It was so accurate that during several filmings, she acted with Daniel and Liu Ye and others, and was not suppressed by the two. Under such circumstances, Liu Ye and others were also stimulated by her and performed well.
Zhang Jing'an is confident that when the top management of Huandao Company sees this movie, they will highly praise Jiang Se's performance.
The crew members parted in Shanghai. Zhang Jingan would first take the crew back to the capital, then bring the film to the United States, have it reviewed and confirmed by the Huandao headquarters, and then carry out post-production editing and production.
Before leaving, Zhang Jing'an asked Jiang Se: "Sese is not going back to the capital, but is planning to fly directly to France?"
Because Zhang Jing'an's requirements became increasingly strict in the later stages of the filming, he was not satisfied with some of the set arrangements, and the subsequent rearrangements took some time, which delayed the original filming schedule. The originally planned filming time of about 130 days was extended to about 150 days. (To be continued)
