In fact, she had already seen it when Jiang Se picked up Pei Yi's mobile phone last night.
But at this moment, she always felt inexplicably guilty when Pei Yi mentioned Feng Nan.
She lowered her head, her eyes not looking at him, and he found another topic to talk about:
"Why did you want to enter the entertainment industry?"
In fact, the two of them had only been separated for half a year, and during this period of time, she had changed a lot.
With her family background, status and upbringing, she didn't have much interest in the entertainment industry before. The people around her were simple and uncomplicated.
Elders like Feng Zhongliang tend to look down on celebrities in the entertainment industry.
But now she has become Jiang Se and entered the entertainment industry.
There was only a simple sentence on the document, but Pei Yi felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
He couldn't wait to get to know her, to know everything that had happened to her in the past six months, and to be closer to her.
Pei Yi's scorching gaze was fixed on her. Jiang Se was not completely unaware of it. She turned to look at him helplessly:
"Focus on driving."
He smiled so hard that his eyes curved, and nodded desperately:
"good."
The golden hair grew a little bit as he nodded. Jiang Se remembered that he used to have very good hair, black and shiny, but he didn't know when he always liked to dye his hair in such a ostentatious color. He was laughed at and scolded by Mr. Pei many times, but he never changed and finally there was nothing he could do.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips, leaned her head against the car window, and thought of his previous question:
"I went in when I was short of money."
She recalled the time when the crew of "Fake It Comes True" held a wrap party at the St. Regis Hotel. She ran into Dai Jia in the hotel lobby and what they talked about.
When Dai Jia asked herself why she didn't ask if she was willing to be Zhao Ruoyun's nude stand-in, Dai Jia answered herself and said that she was short of money.
This question was similar to what Pei Yi asked at this moment. She said it with a smile. After she finished speaking, she thought of Dai Jia's expression at that time and couldn't help but smile even more. But Pei Yi felt heartbroken when he heard it and stepped on the brakes.
Under the inertia of the car, both of their bodies leaned forward. Fortunately, the seat belt tied her body and prevented her from bouncing up.
She turned to look at Pei Yi in surprise. He was holding the steering wheel with both hands, gripping it so tightly that veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
His eyebrows were furrowed, his lips were pursed, and his cheek muscles moved, obviously clenching his back teeth.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Yi thought of her current situation. She was no longer the well-off daughter of the Feng family, but the stepdaughter of the Du family, and her living environment was very difficult.
Her daily life is not only about reading, studying, and doing what she loves, she may also have to worry about some trivial matters.
When he was happy that their relationship had changed and the problem of her being five years older than him no longer existed, she was forced to enter the entertainment industry for money.
A man who had never worried about money now answered his question with a smile, "If you lack money, you can go in."
He took a deep breath, parked the car on the side of the road, and asked:
"Do you like this line of work?"
His tone was a little low and his expression was strange. Jiang Se gave him a strange look:
"It's OK."
He felt even worse.
In fact, compared with his previous life, Jiang Se feels that he may like his current life better.
She has something to do every day and it is no longer monotonous and repetitive.
Although she received a good education in the past, it was not for the purpose of allowing her to have a more complete life in the future. Instead, it was like filling a beautiful vase with flowers to increase the value of the vase and then selling it to someone who was willing to pay a price in the future.
If she had not been reborn, she could imagine her future life. According to the arrangements of the Feng family, she would have come into contact with Zhao Junhan, married Zhao Junhan, and promoted the union of the two families.
Her knowledge and conversation will only increase her bargaining chips in the Zhao family in the future.
But now after being reborn, many of her previous learnings finally found their place of use instead of just being a decoration.
Pei Yi turned to look at her. The clothes she was wearing were a bit old and very simple, without any decorations on her body.
His heart was bleeding, but he forced a smile on his face:
"Next time you go to Kowloon Hall, call me. Don't go alone."
"A girl in the dormitory had her birthday last night." She said helplessly: "Didn't you say you were going to dinner?"
He restarted the car and followed up on her question by asking, "So when is your birthday?"
She seemed a little surprised: "Didn't you find out?"
"..." He had found out, but he just wanted to find a topic so that she could talk to him more. He shook his head and lied:
"No."
"What makes you think I'd investigate you?"
Jiang Se seemed to have been waiting for him to ask this question for a long time. When he finished asking, he smiled sweetly: "Because I checked you too. Did you remember what happened at the St. Regis Hotel last time? You beat up Yao Xiang from the crew. I went to the police station to check it out later."
She thought she had given this long-prepared answer perfectly, and added:
"So they recognized you right away last night, and mentioned your friend's name to the staff at Kowloon Hall, who found them and sent you home. Didn't they tell you?"
Pei Yi's mouth twitched and his eyebrows kept jumping:
"No."
He pretended to believe it, but why had he never found Feng Nan so cute before? When she lied seriously, her smile seemed to melt his heart. He hesitated again and again, and couldn't bear to take his eyes away from her face. He wanted to take out his phone several times to take a picture of her expression at this moment.
After Jiang Se gave the prepared answer, she saw that he had no doubts and seemed to believe it. She felt relieved and looked much more at ease.
He really didn't seem to check the surveillance footage from last night, otherwise he would have asked about what happened in front of the bathroom last night.
She felt much more relaxed and when she had lunch with Pei Yi, she no longer resisted as before.
We made an appointment to have lunch at a Cantonese cuisine restaurant where she used to come often.
The chefs here make great soups, and some of the Guangdong specialties are also very authentic, but the prices are also high, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to reserve a table.
When Pei Yi brought her here, Jiang Se didn't think too much about it. It was not the first time for her and Pei Yi to come here. Even when the restaurant staff led them to the room where they usually sat, she chose her favorite corner and sat down.
The reason she used to like coming here was not only because of the delicious food, but also because of the location.
The two of them were sitting in a private room separated by a hollow screen. There was a floor-to-ceiling glass in one corner of the sofa, through which they could see the scene outside.
Here she could smell the faint aroma of food from the restaurant. Sometimes she liked to bring a book, order a cup of tea and some snacks. Even if she couldn't eat them, she liked this feeling. (To be continued)
