Jiang Se stopped talking, and Nie Dan was also a smart man, so he agreed directly:
"clear."
After he finished speaking, he asked again:
"Do you need me to keep an eye on her for you?"
Jiang Se hesitated for a moment, but still refused:
"Not yet. Some things are complicated. Maybe I can only explain them clearly after I return home."
She remembered the three main things Dai Jia mentioned when she called. In addition to mentioning that Feng Nan might be an important clue to her rebirth and that she was looking for someone to investigate her, Dai Jia also mentioned one thing. On the day of the premiere of "The Lost City", Feng Nan's man ran into him downstairs in the IMAX theater. Dai Jia said that Feng Nan suspected that this man was related to her.
Dai Jia also mentioned that Feng Nan found a man named Zeng Shao to track down the man with the surname Jiang. Jiang Se understood the hidden meaning behind this statement.
She also remembered the man she saw that night. She didn't see the man's front, only his profile.
It was raining heavily that night, the lights were dim, and there were many people on the road. She glanced at him vaguely, and he quickly lowered his head and avoided her. The chilling feeling of danger was like a thorn in her side, and Jiang Se can still remember it to this day.
It was because of meeting this man that Jiang Se felt something was wrong, so she asked Xia Chaoqun to hire a bodyguard to follow her.
Jiang Se didn't think about it carefully that night, but based on Dai Jia's words, she understood everything.
She remembered what Pei Yi said to her when he came to visit her on the set of "A Glimmer of Hope". He said, Sese, the man who kidnapped you was named Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Se's father.
"Haha." Jiang Se laughed twice. What a bad fate!
"What amuses you?"
When Mo Anqi came in during her free time at work, she happened to see Jiang Se holding the phone and smiling, and couldn't help but ask, but Jiang Se didn't even raise his head:
"I thought of something funny."
She said that she thought of something funny, but her expression was cold and her eyes were closed. No matter how you looked at her, she didn't look like she thought of anything funny. Mo Anqi touched her nose and turned around to continue her work.
Jiang Se had to wear different clothes for the interviews during this trip and the subsequent appearance at the French Film Festival. The matching of each of these clothes and jewelry required special care from the styling team.
Xia Chaoqun attached great importance to this aspect of her. As she became more famous, Xia Chaoqun even hired two well-known French stylists to follow her at all times. They made detailed arrangements for Jiang Se's entire body, even down to the color of nail polish to be used for her toenails.
The work team was very busy. After Mo Anqi left, Jiang Se put on a good face and sent away the assistant who was taking care of him.
When there was no one else in the room, she remembered what happened that night.
That night, she was so close to the man who left a deep shadow on her.
She suppressed the fear in her heart and recalled what happened that night. Jiang Zhiyuan's sudden appearance might not be a coincidence.
Why did he suddenly come out and bump Feng Nan away
In fact, she knew it in her heart because Feng Nan looked like he wanted to hit her.
The dangerous man who hurt him and left him with a deep psychological trauma more than 20 years ago may now be trying to protect him. For Jiang Se, this is simply a huge irony.
She is no longer the Canary who was kidnapped by Jiang Zhiyuan more than 20 years ago and was completely unable to fight back when facing Jiang Zhiyuan.
Those shadows and past have been overcome and healed by her.
She will also grow up, do fitness, learn fighting, have bodyguards around her, a grandfather watching Jiang Zhiyuan's every move, and Pei Yi, she is no longer afraid of Jiang Zhiyuan!
She picked up the phone, hesitated for a while, and finally made the call.
It was already evening in France, and even later in China, so she shouldn't disturb Pei Yi.
He has not been in office for long and is still young. He carries the expectations of the Pei family and needs to make some efforts. His responsibility is heavier than his own.
But at this moment she wanted to be willful again. She didn't know who to tell about this matter. Jiang Zhiyuan's appearance and the discovery of Feng Nan's background made it difficult for her to calm down tonight.
"Thunder?"
Pei Yi picked up the phone as soon as it rang. His voice was a little vague at first, and a little surprised. Soon he seemed to be more awake, and the voice of "Xi Suo" came from his end:
"Wait a minute, I'll wash my face."
The two have been separated recently and have not spoken on the phone for several days due to the time difference and their respective work issues.
Jiang Se heard the sound of him turning on the faucet, and his tone became much calmer when he spoke again.
She was still in a state of confusion when she thought of Jiang Zhiyuan before, but when she heard Pei Yi speak, she slowly calmed down.
She liked this feeling, the spiritual dependence between her and him. Even if they were not close to each other, it made her feel warm and comfortable.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Yi's voice was a little soft, and he deliberately softened his tone to coax her:
"Did you miss me?"
"I really do." She admitted honestly. This sentence was obviously better than any sweet words. It immediately made Pei Yi very happy. He kissed the phone several times, and a 'chirp' sound came out.
That enthusiasm infected Jiang Se, causing her to curl her lips unconsciously.
She put the phone against her cheek and listened to Pei Yi counting the days of their wedding on the other end of the phone. After they chatted for a while, Jiang Se asked:
"Ayi, Jiang..."
She mentioned the word "zi" and seemed hesitant to speak. Although she did not say the name "Jiang Zhiyuan", Pei Yi knew her too well and still found something wrong.
Jiang Se was in a particularly low mood tonight. Maybe something happened that gave her a headache.
"Did he call and harass you?"
The man who was so enthusiastic before suddenly became serious and said in a gloomy tone:
"I'll figure it out."
"I saw him," she murmured.
"On the day of the premiere of The Lost City, he might have bumped into Feng Nan when I was talking to him."
She told Dai Jia about the call and her own analysis, feeling a little speechless:
"I've filmed 'A Silver Lining'." What happened in her childhood was like a rebirth for her as an adult. Even if the psychological scars were deep, they should have been healed.
"But why do I still feel so scary when I think of this person?"
She was somewhat puzzled and distressed:
"It's Feng Nan who should be afraid right now, why am I the one suffering from insomnia?"
If Pei Yi didn't know Jiang Se's personality, he might have laughed at her words.
It was just as she said, Jiang Zhiyuan appeared and warned Feng Nan. Feng Nan was ignorant and fearless. She didn't know the cause and effect of the kidnapping case, nor had she actually experienced being kidnapped by Jiang Zhiyuan, so she dared to find someone to investigate Jiang Zhiyuan, which was tantamount to active provocation.
She is looking for death, and because of her identity, her situation is more dangerous than Jiang Se, but this person is still trying his best to make trouble for Jiang Se. (To be continued)
