Song Yi tried his best to stop the reporter from asking questions, but no one paid attention to him. A reporter asked hurriedly, and the smile on Jiang Se's face gradually faded, and he slowly became serious:
"I thank Miss Tao." As soon as she finished speaking, the reporters smiled, and the flash lights illuminated the scene as bright as day. Song Yi looked gloomy, and Tao Cen's head was covered in clothes. His fingers were tightly grasping the clothes, and his knuckles were white. But Jiang Se said the next moment:
"Because if she hadn't tried to get up, I would have stood up the next moment."
No one expected that Jiang Se would answer like this.
She did not take advantage of the opportunity to step on Tao Cen and mock him loudly. Instead, she said:
"It's human nature to be eager to win an award. Miss Tao and I have worked hard, and it's not shameful for us to want to get this honor. Everyone who studies hard and takes the exam is aiming for the first place!"
She held several recorders and said to the reporter who was asking questions:
"You guys are also vying for the headlines, you should understand that."
Under the flash of light, she smiled and spoke. Song Yi was held by several personalities and was stunned when he heard what she said.
Tao Cen's head and face were covered by his clothes, but the coat could not block out what Jiang Se said.
Jiang Se was right. It was not shameful for her to be ambitious. If she had no ambition and desire, she would not have come this far.
Tonight, when Charles de Gaulle read out the name of the winner of the Best Actress Award at the French Film Festival, she almost stood up and was indeed photographed. But as Jiang Se said, she did not film "Criminal Suspect" to be a fill-in for anyone. During the filming process, she worked hard and did her best, and she lived up to the role she played.
Jiang Se’s role as Su Yi is indeed outstanding, but no matter how beautiful a red flower is, it still needs the support of qualified green leaves in the movie.
Without my rivalry with her, the movie wouldn't be able to hold up just relying on Jiang Se.
She has worked hard, so why shouldn’t she have expectations? She came to this French film festival just to get an honor that might belong to her.
What's there to be ashamed of
People around her were shielding her from the reporters' questions, afraid that the cameras and rumors would hurt her. The assistant covered her face with her coat. Even Tao Cen felt ashamed, but she didn't expect that the one who said these words would be her 'opponent' Jiang Se.
Tao Cen grabbed her coat tightly and took it off which was covering her face. The assistant beside her nervously wanted to put it back on for her, fearing that the next moment the reporters would ask her questions and take pictures.
"Sister Tao..."
Song Yi raised his arms, trying to cover her face, but Tao Cen pushed his hands away and shook his head:
"No."
You can block it for a while, but you can't block it for a lifetime. Instead of hiding it, it's better to be open and honest.
We have been able to get through all the ups and downs over the years. We should not shrink back because of a mistake like this.
Back then, she was able to get to where she is today from nothing relying solely on her ambition and desire. It doesn't make sense that as she gets older, has more experience, and has gone through more ups and downs, she would be unable to move forward when faced with setbacks.
She is still the same Tao Cen, and this little storm cannot defeat her!
She straightened her back, smoothed her hair, and even asked the makeup artist to do a simple job of tidying up her hair and makeup. When she reappeared in front of the camera, she was still the same Tao Cen, and she would not fall down here!
The interview was eventually stopped by the security personnel at the French Film Festival venue. Jiang Se caused a sensation in China after tonight.
She was on the front page of the Internet, television, and entertainment sections of newspapers and magazines, with mentions of her beauty, her works, her calmness, and her textbook speech at the closing ceremony of the French Film Festival.
It was already past eleven o'clock when Jiang Se returned to the hotel after the party. While she was removing her makeup, Mo Anqi took her cell phone out of her bag.
Her work phone had already received many congratulatory messages from the media and colleagues, and Mo Anqi was ready to answer them one by one.
On Jiang Se's personal mobile phone, in addition to the message from Pei Yi, Dai Jia, Nie Dan and others came to congratulate her, and there were also several calls from Feng Zhongliang in between.
When Jiang Se saw Feng Zhongliang's call, he was stunned for a moment. Feng Zhongliang called more than an hour ago. Calculating the time, it was already past three or four o'clock in the country when Feng Zhongliang called.
At this time, Feng Zhongliang should have fallen asleep.
Even though he was forcing himself to watch the award ceremony at the closing ceremony of the French Film Festival, he should have gone to sleep after the ceremony.
He is old and not in good health. It is cold at night in the imperial capital at this time of year, and Xiao Liu cannot let him stay up late as he pleases.
Even if he missed her, he knew that he would attend some parties after the dinner and would not be able to return to the hotel too early. Normally, Jiang Se would call him back the next day.
Why did Feng Zhongliang suddenly call at this time? He called several times.
Several bad thoughts flashed through Jiang Se's mind in an instant. She was afraid that these calls were not made by Feng Zhongliang, but by Xiao Liu using Feng Zhongliang's phone. She was worried that something had happened to Feng Zhongliang.
When she thought of this, her hands started shaking, her body went limp, and she could barely hold her cell phone.
She was so worried at the moment that she didn't expect that if something really happened to Feng Zhongliang, not only would Xiao Liu call her, but there would also be no sign of no movement from the Pei family. Pei Yi would definitely find a way to inform her.
She picked up her cell phone and called back. It should have been past six o'clock in China at that time. She was worried that it would take a long time to get through, but she didn't expect that the call was picked up after just two rings.
"Shither..."
Feng Zhongliang's voice rang out, tired and hoarse from not sleeping all night, but from his accent, one could still tell that he was not in as bad a condition as Jiang Se had imagined. Jiang Se breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little scared:
"Grandpa, you scared me to death."
Her heart had not yet fallen back to its original position, and was still beating wildly. The next moment, Feng Zhongliang's words made her heart hang up again:
"Sese, something happened to Feng Nan."
Feng Nan was kidnapped!
She had been missing for more than thirty hours, and at first, the people in Hong Kong kept it a secret.
At the beginning, Feng Nan was forcibly sent back to Hong Kong by Feng Zhongliang, and the people from the Feng family were asked to keep a close eye on her. However, she slipped out halfway and talked nonsense, which caused a big disaster and offended the Pei family. The people in Hong Kong were also reprimanded by Feng Zhongliang.
From then on, the Feng family kept a stricter watch over her, and added two servants to follow her, just to prevent her from escaping and telling lies.
When she started to disappear this time, Feng Qinlun and the others thought that Feng Nan had slipped away like last time. After all, she had done the same thing before, and no one thought of anything else.
Feng Qinlun was thinking at the time that Feng Zhongliang must not be informed of this, in order to avoid his father scolding him for not being able to keep an eye on his own people.
He originally planned to find Feng Nanyi himself. If she got into trouble, he would just find a way to cover it for her. This way, he wouldn't alert Feng Zhongliang and the matter would be resolved satisfactorily. At most, he would just have to keep a closer eye on her next time.
At first Feng Qinlun was quite angry, thinking that his daughter was becoming more and more outrageous as she got older.
But as she disappeared for a long time and there was no news, I gradually felt that something was wrong.
This time when she disappeared, she didn't cause a big fuss like last time, and Feng Nan's bag was still in the maid's hand when she disappeared. The cash, bank cards, and mobile phone in it were all there, but she didn't take any of these things. She had no money and no means of communication. Even if she wanted to run away, where could she go
After a day passed and Feng Nan was still missing, the Feng family members panicked and thought of the scene when she was kidnapped.
Feng Qinlun had people search every corner of the Feng family's home, including the letter boxes, parcels, and mailboxes, and even the company address, but no threatening letters were found, and no one had sent any letters to threaten the Feng family.
At this point, the Feng family naturally didn't dare to hide it anymore, and someone immediately called Feng Zhongliang to inform him.
Although this 'granddaughter' has changed inside, she still has Feng Nan's 'shell' and cannot be abandoned just like that.
Feng Zhongliang immediately rushed back to Hong Kong on a private plane to investigate Feng Nan's whereabouts. After asking people around her, he learned that she disappeared while she was out shopping. Before her disappearance, she went into a fitting room to change clothes. Two maids were waiting outside with their handbags. When she didn't come out for a long time, the two felt something was wrong and went in to see that Feng Nan was gone.
The search was fruitless at the time, and both thought that Feng Nan had found a way to escape.
It was only after Feng Zhongliang watched the store surveillance footage that he confirmed that Feng Nan had been kidnapped.
"The one who kidnapped Feng Nan, Sese, might be Jiang Zhiyuan."
When he said this, he sighed deeply, feeling very complicated.
In fact, Feng Zhongliang was not surprised by this result. Jiang Zhiyuan's whereabouts had been a mystery for a year. A person like him had no job, no friends, no need for social recognition, and no care about himself. When one day he was crazy about doing something, he would not consider more consequences.
He had already been preparing to "deal with" Feng Nan. It was only a matter of time before he quit his job, stayed away from surveillance, and kidnapped Feng Nan.
What Feng Zhongliang didn't expect was that the Feng family was not prepared back then, allowing Jiang Zhiyuan to kidnap Cheng. Now there are so many people guarding Feng Nan.
It’s just that Feng Zhongliang felt a little regretful and sad about this situation.
When "A Glimmer of Hope" premiered, he made an appointment with Jiang Zhiyuan to watch the movie. Jiang Zhiyuan had clearly promised him to stop at that time, but unfortunately Feng Nan did not know how to stop, which angered him.
His weak spot is Jiang Se, and he is willing to "atone" for his daughter. This act of "repentance" does not mean that a person like him really "knows his mistakes", but is just a "compromise" with reality.
One day, when this person finds that "compromising" with the rules is useless, he may act according to the rules that he agrees with in his heart.
It’s a pity for Jiang Se.
She was his 'real' granddaughter, but by mistake she became the daughter of his 'enemy'.
When history repeats itself, Jiang Zhiyuan's thoughts are completely different from what they were back then. When Feng Nan was kidnapped, Jiang Zhiyuan wanted money. Now that Feng Nan was kidnapped again, is Jiang Zhiyuan going to die
Jiang Se didn't say anything. In fact, she was almost speechless at this moment. She held the phone tightly, trying very hard to stay calm and not let the phone drop.
The shock of receiving the Best Actress award at the film festival tonight was far less than the impact of Feng Zhongliang's words at this moment.
She didn't expect that more than 20 years later, she would hear such words from Feng Zhongliang again.
Jiang Zhiyuan kidnapped "her" again. Although there is no definite news to confirm that it was him, since Feng Zhongliang dared to say so, it should be nine out of ten.
"Actually, Grandpa has been hesitating whether to tell you this."
On the phone, Jiang Se's breathing became lighter instinctively. Feng Zhongliang could understand how she felt at the moment. She must be in a mess.
"But Grandpa doesn't want to hide it from you. These things are all related to you. You should know."
Jiang Zhiyuan kidnapped Feng Nan just because of his "daughter".
Jiang Zhiyuan is too dangerous. Feng Zhongliang has been asking people to track his whereabouts for the past year. However, this man is very cunning. He was able to come to Hong Kong through abnormal means under strict control, and succeeded when the Feng family was well prepared. He also took the person away in full view of everyone. This is enough to make Feng Zhongliang's scalp tingle.
"Besides being worried about Feng Nan, I am also worried about you."
Jiang Se's identity is known to heaven, earth, her, Pei Yi and Feng Zhongliang.
In addition, there is another person that Feng Nan should be able to vaguely guess. She is not the real Feng Nan. This person has a strange origin. According to Pei Yi's guess, she must have a grudge against the original "Jiang Se", so she frequently targets Jiang Se.
If this person is familiar with another 'Jiang Se', she will definitely notice the changes between the current Jiang Se and the 'Jiang Se' she knows. Coupled with her closeness to Jiang Se and Jiang Se's personality, as long as Feng Nan is smart enough, he will be able to deduce it.
If she guessed Jiang Se's true identity and fell into Jiang Zhiyuan's hands, Feng Zhongliang didn't know what Jiang Zhiyuan would do when he discovered the truth one day.
So after much thought, he decided to call Jiang Se and tell her that Feng Nan had been kidnapped.
This is also a reminder for her to pay more attention.
He was afraid, he was afraid that Jiang Zhiyuan had gone crazy.
She had been injured by Jiang Zhiyuan before, and that nightmare was enough for her to experience once.
Feng Zhongliang tried hard to protect Jiang Se. When he learned Jiang Se's true identity and knew that Feng Nan was not the real granddaughter he raised, Feng Zhongliang did not suppress Feng Nan too much to vent his anger. It was because he was afraid that Feng Nan would guess Jiang Se's identity and that she would be desperate and say something she shouldn't say.
He once thought about what he should do with Feng Nan. He couldn't beat or kill her. She was not young anymore and hadn't made any achievements in the entertainment industry. He couldn't keep her imprisoned like this.
Girls always have to get married when they grow up. She is old now and her reputation is not very good. It is unlikely that those in the upper class who are of the same social status as the Feng family will want her.
She had chosen Zhao Junhan herself back then and insisted on being with him. The two families had a partnership, and she and Zhao Junhan were still an engaged couple. Feng Zhongliang wondered if Feng Nan's affair with the Zhao family could be settled.
Although she has become estranged from Zhao Junhan in recent years, the Zhao family is her best choice at the moment. He is prepared to personally negotiate for her. With his old bones around, the Zhao family will not make things too difficult for her in the future.
He did all this, even at the cost of his dignity, by contacting the Zhao family, all in the hope that she would appreciate his kindness, be nicer to Jiang Se, and not say certain things carelessly.
But before he could finish the job, Feng Nan got into trouble. She fell into Jiang Zhiyuan's hands, and there was no guarantee that she would not say everything she should and shouldn't say. (To be continued)
