Mother Xiao was going crazy. She felt that she couldn't communicate with her husband no matter what, so she couldn't help screaming, "Don't Xiaoshu deserve 5% of the shares? Your father also gave 5% to the second and third rooms a few days ago. % of the shares, that is the share that the descendants of the Xiao family should have, and they have to be given. Why is it a special kindness to come to Xiaoshu? He is not your son, not your father's grandson? He is me and I A wild species born by others? Xiao Qijie, you can't be so biased, you can only see Dingbang in your eyes, and don't take Xiaoshu seriously at all! He studied so hard just to help you after graduation, help him Big brother. He's a good boy, you can't treat him like this!"
"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about! He is my son, and of course I will take care of him. If I don't join the Xiao family, I will be biased? He has 5% of the shares without doing anything. Who doesn't envy him? Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, you are trying to borrow him a piece of property, you are doing it for yourself! We signed a prenuptial agreement when we got married. You said you wouldn't covet a penny from the Xiao family, don't you think? Have you forgotten? If you're not willing to tell Dad yourself, don't mess around here!"
Mother Xiao was outraged and screamed, "Xiao Qijie, you bastard! I did sign a prenuptial agreement back then, I didn't marry you for your money, it's true. But I am me, Xiaoshu is Xiaoshu , I don't want your Xiao family a cent, but Xiaoshu is your son, and he deserves what belongs to him! You can't leave him abroad and ignore everything, he is a part of this family! " The cry of woo woo came, revealing strong grief and helplessness.
Xiao Jiashu was completely expressionless, sitting on the sofa like a statue. The father was married for the second time. Before the mother, there was a wife who died of stomach cancer. The two met half a year after the death of the ex-wife. No matter how she refused to believe her innocence, she always thought that she deliberately seduced her father, and then took advantage of the power of the Xiao family. The real master of the Xiao family, Mr. Xiao, had a deep misunderstanding of his mother, and was extremely fond of the eldest grandson of his first wife, so he did his best to suppress the mother and son.
Xiao Jiashu originally thought that when he was admitted to Wharton and graduated with honors, his grandfather would change his mind, but now it seems to be wishful thinking. Mr. Xiao's temperament is very stubborn. If he likes someone, he can't wait to dig his heart out. If he hates someone, it's too much to look at him. Xiao Jiashu's half-brother Xiao Dingbang is the one who is favored, and he himself is redundant.
The quarrel upstairs came to an end, only the faint cry of the mother came; the father's temper also disappeared, and his voice became much softer, as if he was apologizing. As the eldest son of the Xiao family, he should have shouldered the heavy responsibility of establishing a portal, but he had no choice but to have limited ability, indecision and lack of courage. Today's Xiao family has the final say, and others have no right to speak. The old man didn't let Xiao Jiashu enter the Xiao family. First, he didn't like his background, and second, he was afraid of his brothers.
Xiao Dingbang's attitude towards the mother and son was not warm, he just nodded when he saw it, and he would not speak for Xiao Jiashu. So the previous question came again, why did you want to go back to China? Why would you give up your favorite major to study business administration? Is your sweat and effort just wasted? Xiao Jiashu slowly leaned his head on the back of the chair, his expression inexplicably blank.
At this moment, Xiao Dingbang came in with a briefcase, and the servant who had been lukewarm to Er Shao immediately greeted him. One helped with the bag, the other helped take off his coat, and the other took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet. Respectfully placed at the feet of the young master, no one knows better than them who is the real master of the Xiao family.
"Brother, you're back." Xiao Jiashu stood up immediately, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. He still respects this eldest brother very much. He has the ability and courage. He has more than tripled the industry of Xiao's within a few years of taking office. No one is more suitable to be the helm of Xiao's Pharmaceutical Group than him. He is a natural leader. Xiao Jiashu never thought about competing with his eldest brother. He just wanted to make his grandfather and father proud of himself, and at the same time, he wanted to share his worries with his eldest brother. How about an old saying? Oh, by the way, call the brothers to break the gold together.
But Xiao Dingbang doesn't seem to think so. He was stunned for a while, then nodded coldly, and when he heard the cry from upstairs, he couldn't help frowning. But he didn't say anything, didn't express his brother's welcome back home, didn't care about the quarrel between his parents, turned around and went up to the second floor.
Seeing his tall and straight background disappear at the corner of the stairs, Xiao Jiashu's slightly joyful eyes dimmed. The servants standing in the corner bowed their heads one after another, but exchanged contemptuous glances between them. A mistress is a mistress, and an illegitimate child is an illegitimate child. There are still people in the Xiao family who understand, as long as Mr. Xiao and the young master don't let go, the second young master will never be able to get ahead.
Feeling the atmosphere full of oppression and exclusion, Xiao Jiashu was very sad. For a moment, he really wanted to buy a plane ticket back to the United States and never came back, but thinking about his mother upstairs, he endured it abruptly. . What should my mother do? Her relationship with her father seems to be getting worse and worse. Her father's unfounded suspicion is like a sharp knife, cutting her mother all over, and she could have lived better...
Once again, Xiao Jiashu felt sorry for his weakness, he couldn't do anything, let alone help his mother. In the frustration, Mother Xiao's eyes were red, but she had an elegant and gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened, "Xiaoshu, go take a shower, change a set of clothes, I'll have it later. Go to the old house to eat with your grandfather."
Even if he knew that it was his grandfather's decision not to enter the Xiao family, Xiao Jiashu couldn't resist. If he revealed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, the grandfather would be furious, and then turn his anger on his mother, and abuse her in the harshest words in front of his uncle and aunt. He despised the actors, thinking that they were inferior things.
Xiao Jiashu was full of resistance, but still stood up obediently, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xue Miao patted her son's head with a gentle smile, but tears flashed in her eyes. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to send her son abroad, whether it was right or wrong to encourage him to change his studies in business administration, or even marry Xiao Qijie back then? But she knew she had done the right thing, and that was bringing her son into this world. He is her best gift and warmest solace.
The family of four quickly packed up and went to the old house. Mr. Xiao sat in the main seat surrounded by his descendants. He was laughing loudly. When he saw Xiao Jiashu who entered the door, his face immediately turned cold, "What are you wearing? How tattered!" He raised He picked up his cane and pointed to his grandson's pants.
Xiao Jiashu looked down at his ripped jeans with question marks all over his face. This is ACNE STUDIO's new model this year. It is trendy and cool to wear, and it looks like your legs are longer and straighter. Don't be too handsome with a white T, why is it tattered? He was about to explain a few words to his grandfather, when he heard his elder brother's calm voice behind him, "Grandpa, I have a few questions to discuss with you about the acquisition of Sunshine Pharmaceuticals."
Mr. Xiao's face immediately softened, and he raised his hand and said, "Go, go to the study to talk. Hong Ying, let the chef start cooking."
"Hey, I'll let them do it now." Hong Ying agreed with a smile. She is the wife of the second child of Xiao. She is from a noble family, and she is shrewd and capable. She is highly valued by the old man. She takes care of almost all the affairs of the family. It's a pity that the sons she gave birth to are not up to the mark, and their ability is not as good as Xiao Dingbang, otherwise it is uncertain who is at the helm of the Xiao family. She was very jealous of Xiao Dingbang, but she couldn't provoke him, so she had to take out Xiao Jiashu's mother and son, always speaking with thorns, and poking at the most painful places.
Xiao Jiashu didn't like the two uncles and aunts very much, but if he didn't come to the old house, he would be reprimanded by his grandfather for being unruly, not understanding filial piety, being an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, etc., so he had to come. The Xiao family is a huge cage to him and to his mother...
Luo Zhangwei picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to Lin Leyang, "Why is it a problem of walking again? Shi Tingheng didn't teach you just now? Come and see for yourself!"
Lin Leyang was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly walked over to Director Luo to look at the monitor, and found that he was indeed in the effective shooting area at first. arm. This one is really dead.
"I'm sorry director, I'll pay attention to the next one." He sincerely apologized and found Ji Mian coming over, as if he had something to say to himself, and hurriedly returned to Shi Tingheng to prepare for the shooting. Even Xiao Jiashu's ignorant son-in-law can pass it, but he always eats NG, which is too embarrassing for Ji Ge, let's talk to him after the filming is over, and the pressure will be less.
Some people may need the comfort of relatives, lovers and friends when they are in difficulty, which can make them full of motivation, but Lin Leyang is just the opposite. The more embarrassing the moment, the more he wants to face it alone, because only in this way will Make yourself look more embarrassed.
He apologized to Shi Tingheng again, and then chatted without words, for fear that Ji Mian would really come over to comfort him. Ji Mian had already stepped out and slowly retracted her steps, her expression a little helpless. At this moment, Xiao Jiashu squeezed beside him, stood on tiptoe to look at the shooting venue, and asked quietly, "What happened just now, who ate NG?"
After staying on the set for a week in a row, Xiao Jiashu found that he was still not interested in acting, but he liked to watch the scenes of others eating NG. The actors have various reasons for eating NG. The expressions after NG are varied, while the director's abuse is endless and aggressive, forming an extremely vivid and interesting picture, making him never get tired of watching it. He was also thinking about whether to take these scenes and make them into videos, and keep them for later enjoyment.
Seeing that Ji Mian ignored him, he said to himself, "It must be Lin Leyang. Like me, he is not a professional, and he has no background."
Ji Mian still didn't answer, but just frowned at the opposite side.
The third shot started. As soon as the scene was finished, Lin Leyang and Shi Tingheng, who were ready, grabbed each other's collars and hid in the stairwell. This time the position was very successful, both of them entered the shooting range of the camera, and their expressions and movements were in place. Lin Leyang ripped off Shi Tingheng's mask and said the line "It really is you". Shi Tingheng opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to speak, but he stopped immediately and pushed Lin Leyang into a darker corner, only because there were messy footsteps outside, It's the global police who are looking for criminals in this building.
Of course, this "messy footsteps" was completely absent during filming, and it had to be post-production by the dubbing engineer. So at this time, although the two of them acted like they were listening, they had to rely on their imagination to get themselves into a state of tension.
Shi Tingheng grasped the rhythm very well, but Lin Leyang slowed down by a beat. He didn't show a nervous expression until he was pushed into the corner by Shi Tingheng. In the script, the two heard footsteps at the same time and pulled each other into the darkness at the same time. This is the tacit understanding that He Jin and Shi Yu have cultivated since childhood.
With the continuous deepening of shooting, Luo Zhangwei gradually became stricter, and even a little picky. Seeing this, he decisively shouted "Cut", and picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Lin Leyang, it's you again! How did I tell you before? This is the police station, and the overall police are arresting He Jin, You drag him into the stairwell and it's over? You think this is your personal space, and no one else can see it? You have to be nervous, alert, and at the same time endure severe psychological struggles! Your expression must be tense anytime, anywhere Come on, you can't relax! Imagine this building is full of people arresting you, imagine, OK?"
"I'm sorry director!" Lin Leyang's cheeks flushed and his expression was embarrassed. He was relieved after the walking position passed smoothly, and brought it out on the face, so he didn't grasp the rhythm. In the end, Brother Ji was still disappointed.
"The next item must pay attention to substituting yourself into the scene! You should rest for a while and adjust your state." After all, he is a newcomer and inexperienced, so Luo Zhangwei didn't scold him too harshly.
Lin Leyang immediately walked out of the shooting venue, but instead of going to Ji Mian's side, he chatted with his agent Chen Pengxin.
"Don't be nervous, it's not that you have no acting skills, it's just that you haven't entered the state. Drink some hot drinks to relax." Chen Pengxin gave him a cup of coffee, and finally lowered the volume, "Mr. Ji is opposite, let's go over and say hello to him."
"No, my performance is so bad, what face do I have to greet him. I'll talk about this after the filming." Lin Leyang immediately declined.
"The more times this happens, the more you have to say hello to him. You can ask him about filming. Once the topic is brought up, the relationship will be close. You are his artist, and he will take care of you more or less." Chen Pengxin is very He is keen on climbing the big coffee, and has repeatedly urged the small past.
Lin Leyang disagreed with life and death, the two were pulling, Luo Zhangwei had already picked up the loudspeaker, "Prepare for the next one..." He said it was to let the newcomer adjust his state, but in fact, only three minutes passed, and he was such a flamboyant director.
Lin Leyang was startled, and quickly turned aside from Chen Pengxin and ran back to Shi Tingheng. Ji Mian's eyes were always fixed on him, but his footsteps did not move for half a minute, while Xiao Jiashu, who was standing beside him, secretly took out his mobile phone and prepared to shoot the next opponent's scene. He had a hunch that Lin Leyang would still eat NG.
Sure enough, Lin Leyang's movements, expressions, movements, and rhythm were all well grasped this time, but a new problem arose. When he ripped off Shi Tingheng's mask, he pulled his collar too tightly, causing Shi Tingheng to lower his pressure. The heads cooperated, so only Lin Leyang's face appeared in the camera, while Shi Tingheng only had a dark top of hair.
If it weren't for Lin Leyang being a real newcomer and having no previous shooting experience, the director would have thought that he was deliberately stealing the scene. Is there anyone who shows his face but suppresses the male lead
"Cut, cut, cut! This is a remake!" Luo Zhangwei raised his loudspeaker, blushing and roaring with a thick neck, "Lin Leyang, you've eaten a Dosnicker, right? You almost pulled Shi Tingheng's head off! You Look at his neck!"
Lin Leyang didn't bring himself into the scene before, but this time he used too much force. When he looked at Shi Tingheng's neckline, there was indeed a red mark. Embarrassed and frightened, he quickly apologized to the other party, but fortunately Shi Tingheng had a mild temper and didn't care.
Seeing Lin Leyang hide in the corner and cover his head in remorse, Ji Mian's brows wrinkled more and more tightly.
"Would you like to go and have a look?" Fang Kun asked in a low voice. After all, Lin Leyang is a contracted artist of Crown Studio. As the boss, Ji Mian has to care a few words in the past.
"No, his mood will be worse in the past. Let him adjust himself." Ji Mian shook his head.
Xiao Jiashu, who was standing beside the two, was staring intently at the phone, then covered his mouth and his eyes were crescent-shaped. Oops, Lin Leyang's expression when he eats NG is particularly wonderful. The other actors are all veterans who have experienced a lot. After eating NG, they either smile generously, or wave their hands to apologize, or it doesn't matter. Only Lin Leyang's cheeks, neck, and ears are all red, and his expression ranges from embarrassment to embarrassment to panic. Layered.
Xiao Jiashu likes his type the most. After watching the video many times, he is overjoyed. Hearing the director shouting "Let's take your place", he hurriedly raised his mobile phone to secretly take more exciting pictures, but he didn't realize that Ji Mian took a deep look at him, and his eyes were a little cold.
This time it's NG! Seeing Lin Leyang's vain steps and erratic eyes, Xiao Jiashu predicted silently.
Then it was what he said. Lin Leyang's self-confidence has been exhausted in repeated NGs. He entered the stage tremblingly and acted tremously, but his nervous state fit the plot, and his performance turned out to be very good. After photographing the two hiding in the corner to hide their breath, Shi Tingheng whispered, "Believe it or not, I did not betray the police force." The words broke free from Lin Leyang's restraint and ran downstairs.
At this time, Lin Leyang had to chase after him, pulling Shi Tingheng's collar from behind, Shi Tingheng grabbed it with his backhand, and the two fought in the narrow corridor. Seeing that his colleagues were about to find this floor, Lin Leyang finally chose to trust his friend, took off his police uniform and let him put it on, knocked himself unconscious, and fell headlong into the trash can.
The martial arts part of this scene is not difficult, and the two have worked together many times, but due to the previous strangulation of Shi Tingheng, Lin Leyang didn't dare to play hard this time, and he would inevitably shrink back when fighting, like an old lady. Luo Zhangwei held his forehead with one hand and raised his loudspeaker with the other, "Cut! Lin Leyang, you haven't had enough to eat today? Would you like me to order some lunch boxes for you?"
Lin Leyang stood bewildered, with pale cheeks and a frightened expression, like a disoriented child. He looked at the people around him, and then at Ji Mian, tears slowly bursting out of his eyes, but he held back stubbornly.
Don't cry, hold on! Brother Ji is watching! He trusts you so much, don't embarrass him! Thinking like this, Lin Leyang gradually calmed down. He apologized to everyone again, then found a quiet corner and closed his eyes to brew his emotions.
Ji Mian moved slightly, but did not pass.
Xiao Jiashu watched the video he just took, and was happy. His nerves are relatively rough, and he was scolded by Mr. Lin and Father Xiao since he was a child. In the end, it depends on practice whether you have a thick skin or not, and you will get used to it after a long time. When Lin Leyang returned to the shooting venue, he silently raised his mobile phone, ready to wait for the next NG.
But surprisingly, Lin Leyang performed very well. As soon as he entered the shooting area, he grabbed Shi Tingheng and dragged him to the stairwell. The two had a brief argument and fight. In the end, Lin Leyang chose to let his friend go and knocked him unconscious. Own. He looked at the back of his friend leaving in a hurry, the light in his half-closed eyes was extinguishing, and the emotions of doubt and wanting to trust were violently intertwined, and finally turned into relief. In any case, he couldn't just watch his friend go to a dead end.
The gaffer moved slowly, and the shadows also shrouded him, leaving only a trash can stacked in the corner, waiting for the police to discover. This scene is over...
"Why didn't you tell me what happened to you?" After the kiss, Lin Leyang's tone became very soft.
"I'm afraid you'll be worried." Ji Mian gently wiped off the water stains on the corner of his mouth and reflected, "But now I find that not telling you will make you more worried. I was wrong, and I will correct it later. You know this Did you just end the trip early?"
Lin Leyang couldn't get angry at all, and muttered, "Yeah, I came back early, and I want to see you as soon as possible. It's good to know that I'm wrong, you will tell me no matter what happens in the future, don't let me be the last person in the world to know. Or, that's tragic. Also, you can't travel at night anymore, especially when you're filming in a remote place."
"Okay, I'll definitely learn my lesson." Ji Mian took her little boyfriend into her arms and chuckled, "Go take a shower, and I'll take you to a big meal later."
Lin Leyang looked happy, but he was a little reluctant. Ji Mian grew up abroad and was accustomed to eating Western food, and because of his special status, he went to high-end places that ordinary people could not enter. It felt so indescribable.
Every time he eats western food with Ji Mian, Lin Leyang has never been full, and his every move is under the surveillance of others, which makes his stomach hurt even more. If possible, he would like to tell the other party aloud: what western food to eat! We can find any hot pot restaurant to eat more than these Michelin restaurants!
However, at the beginning of the relationship between the two, he was not only embarrassed to show his dislike of Western food, but he had to pretend to like it to win Ji Mian's approval. Endured.
He smiled and kissed Ji Mian, and immediately collapsed after walking into the bathroom. He was reminded of a novel by the Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov called "The Man in a Case". When eating western food with perfect etiquette, he felt that he was the one in the cover, and every cell was screaming and suffocating.
Ji Mian stood outside the bathroom, staring at the misty sliding door, the smile in his eyes slowly subsided and changed to contemplation. After a long time, he suddenly shook his head and sighed, with a helpless and happy expression on his face.
An hour later, Lin Leyang, who had washed away his dust, and Ji Mian, who had been dressed up in disguise, sat in the box of a hot pot restaurant. There were many small dishes in front of them, including tripe, duck intestines, vermicelli, potatoes... and sesame sauce, chili sauce, Mushroom sauce... The red and bright soup base tumbles in the pot, exuding a domineering aroma.
Lin Leyang smelled the aroma with all his strength, his expression a little dazed, "Brother Ji, why do you suddenly want to eat hot pot? Can you eat spicy food?"
"I ordered slightly spicy, so it shouldn't be a problem." Ji Mian messed up her little boyfriend's hair and smiled, "In the future, you must say what you like to eat. It's about mutual understanding, but mutual communication, mutual understanding, and mutual tolerance."
