"Hey, Jade," he said, "my daughter is not here."
Ning Yuren was dizzy for a while, his body shook, and then fell to the side.
There was a commotion next to him, the assistant and the director both ran over, and the director asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"
"It's nothing." Ning Yuren was helped by the assistant and smiled reluctantly, "Maybe I'm too tired recently, I'll take a break."
If someone else said this, they would definitely be criticized by the director. But Ning Yuren is different. She is a well-known and hard-working Sanniang in the show business circle. It was the same when filming "Dream of the Future". She almost lived in the crew and got up at 5 o'clock in the morning to memorize her lines every day. above everyone.
"Go, let's go." The director waved his hand, "Hurry up and lie down in the lounge, do you want to give you a day off?"
Ning Yuren smiled and shook his head, then hurried to the lounge.
After closing the door, she quickly called back the phone, her voice anxious: "Have you found any nearby?"
"I've found her, she's not here." The other party replied, "I even let people stare at Xu Rong, and she's not with her either. She went home alone."
Ning Yuren lowered his head, his eyes lost their vigour little by little, as if he had become a walking corpse.
"Don't worry," the other party said. "Cars can't come in here, so they can only walk on their feet. Whether it's walking in or walking out, it will take ten or twenty minutes. She... or they can't go far."
"...En." Ning Yuren recovered a little bit of anger, and said to him with a hint of pleading, "You must find her."
"I will." The other party chuckled, "You said, she is my daughter."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Yuren leaned back against the door and slowly slid onto the ground, trembling from top to bottom. He couldn't help but put his right hand to his mouth, with his teeth gnawing at the back of his hand through the glove.
It wasn't until the eldest brother in her left hand sounded again that she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Hello?" She answered the phone hastily, "Have you found it?"
"..." After a long silence, a strange man's voice sounded across from him, "Hello, your daughter is here with me now."
Ning Yuren was dizzy again, and his body suddenly sat upright: "Ningning!"
"Mom." A little girl's voice sounded opposite, "I'm fine, I got lost, this brother helped me."
"Lost?" Ning Yuren asked, "Where's Xu Rong?"
"She brought me to a place I didn't know." Ningning replied, "Say you are waiting for me here, mom, where are you now?"
Ah, it did happen.
Ning Yuren thought so, and said softly: "Mom is still on the set, Ning Ning, give the phone to the brother next to you."
The person who answered the phone changed.
"Hello, I'm Ning Yuren, the actress who played "The Man in the Picture"." Ning Yuren replied, "What's your name?"
"My surname is Wen." The other party paused, "We've met before, "The Man in the Picture" was filmed by my father, and my father's surname was Shi, and he was the director of "The Man in the Picture"."
The world is so small...
"...It turned out to be you." Ning Yuren murmured, thinking of the past, thinking of the old friend, heaved a sigh of relief, and relaxed his tensed body, "It's you, I'm relieved..."
"Where are you now?" Wen Yu asked, "I'll take her there?"
Ning Yuren closed his eyes for a while, then opened them and said, "No, don't send it here."
There was a commotion on the opposite side, Ning Ning kept shouting to give it to me, and finally grabbed the telephone receiver from his hand: "Mom!"
"Ning Ning, do you still remember the person Mom told you before?" Ning Yuren said softly, "Mom will ask him to pick you up immediately."
"But I want to find you." Ning Ning said anxiously, "I have a lot to tell you."
Are you, like me, sitting in the auditorium of the Cinema of Life.
Are you really my mother? Or another person
"...Mom also has a lot to say to you." Ning Yuren said with difficulty, "But now is not the time. You go with that person first, wait for Mom to deal with the matter at hand, and immediately go to find you, okay? Now let me Brother Wen Yu, take the call."
Ning Ning reluctantly gave the phone to Wen Yu.
"Your aunt is the person I brought me into the business and the actress I admire the most, so I named my daughter the same name as her." Ning Yuren said, "For Wen Xiaoning's sake, help me a busy one."
Hearing the name after a long absence, Wen Yu lowered her eyes: "...you said."
"Take her to the station next to you... No, let's go to the gas station closest to you, it's warmer there." Ning Yuren said, "buy her some food and drink, wait with her, I'll let her right away. Someone go to pick her up."
"Okay." Wen Yu agreed to her, "What's that person's name?"
Not knowing what Ning Yuren said to him, Wen Yu suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Ning Ning looked up at him, "What did mom say to you?"
"...Nothing." He hung up the phone, looked at her with complicated eyes for a while, then bent down and took her hand: "Let's go."
Leaving the phone booth, the two walked towards the nearest gas station, the snow fell, and Ning Ning kept coughing while walking.
Wen Yu sighed, "You're wearing too little."
Ning Ning wanted to speak, but coughed again. She wore a lot of clothes when she went out, but when Xu Rong was leaving, she took off her hat and coat abruptly.
The sound of the zipper being opened came from beside her. She turned her head and saw Wen Yu taking off her coat. The white coat that was as long as her whole body wrapped her from head to toe. Wen Yu squatted in front of her, helped her pull the zipper up to her neck, and then pulled the hat onto her head, a fluffy mass surrounding her face.
"Just hold on." He gently encouraged.
Ning Ning nodded and held his hand. The two left two long footprints in the snow, one large and the other small.
Half an hour later, gas station.
Wen Yu bought a few bags of snacks in the canteen of the gas station, and asked the salesperson for two cups of hot water before returning to Ningning.
"Who will pick me up later?" Ning Ning took the water cup he handed over, holding it in both hands to absorb the heat from the cup.
Wen Yu didn't seem to be listening to her. He looked outside the door absentmindedly, and when Ning Ning tugged his sleeve, he came back to his senses: "What did you just say?"
Ning Ning had to repeat what he just said: "Who will pick me up later?"
"Your mother's... friend." Wen Yu answered with difficulty.
Ning Ning narrowed her eyes and stared at him. Wen Yu's reaction was very strange. She asked tentatively, "What's his name? Do you know him?"
"My name is..." Before Wen Yu could finish speaking, a car was already slowly parked outside the gate.
The two looked out together through the glass door.
Ning Ning couldn't help but take a step towards the door.
The previous conversation with her mother made her feel that the person sent by her mother, 80%, was a father she had never met before.
She hates him for never appearing in her life, and hates him for never appearing when her mother is tired and sad, but sometimes she can't help but look forward to it, hoping that he has difficulties...
The door opened and a man got out of the car.
Ning Ning's pupils contracted, her nostrils dilated.
Because the person who got out of the car was Director Chen!
After getting off the bus, Director Chen looked around while chatting with the gas station staff, as if he was looking for something, and his eyes even fixed on the door.
Don't come in! Don't come in!
Ning Ning quickly hid in the corner, shrank herself into a ball, and kept shouting in her heart.
Perhaps her prayer to the gods and Buddhas in the sky worked. Director Chen seemed to just come to the gas station to refuel. After the car was full, the staff raised his hand and pointed him in the direction. He quickly got back into the car and drove away. .
It was too cold outside, and the staff went back to the door while rubbing their hands.
"Uncle." Ning Ning leaned over impatiently, "What did that person just say to you?"
"Oh, he's looking for someone." The staff laughed, "Looking for a little girl your age, but wearing a yellow hat and a red woolen coat. I told him that a Santana came over to refuel twenty minutes ago. There was a little girl dressed like this sitting inside, and she's heading towards the city now."
Ning Ning didn't speak, and held the white coat on his body with both hands. Inside the coat, there was a pink sweater neckline.
This is her current dress, but about two hours ago, she was dressed in a yellow hat, red woolen coat, white shoes... But now the hat and coat have been taken away by Xu Rong.
When the staff left, Ning Ning slowly turned to look at Wen Yu, and said with a hard smile, "He didn't come to me, did he?"
How could her mother entrust her to Director Chen!
"He likes children very much, especially when you are so cute. If you ask him what he wants, he will give it to you. Wherever you want to play, he will take you there."
Of the above, which one does he agree with!
Ning Ning didn't want to believe that the person mentioned by her mother was Director Chen, but if it was really him... that would explain why Wen Yu looked at her so strangely when she was on the phone.
You must know that at the moment of Wen Xiaoning's death in "The Phantom of the Theater", he and his mother almost saw Director Chen shouting for inspiration, and then sat next to others to write the script, without taking her to the hospital or nearby Calling for help, almost watching her die.
Both mother and Wen Yu had opinions on Director Chen because of this incident.
It's just different from Wen Yu, my mother and Director Chen are both in the entertainment industry, and they can't see their heads up and down. If they are assigned to the same crew, communication and interaction are inevitable, but if they are so close outside of work... That's called What's wrong with smelling rain
Because to a certain extent, "Wen Xiaoning" is not only her mother's savior, but also her master...
Wen Yu didn't answer her, he looked behind her.
What's behind her
Ning Ning turned around slowly.
Suddenly, a tall man stood behind her.
It seemed that he had just come in from the door, with white snow still on his head and shoulders, and a cold chill drifted over him. He smiled at Ning Ning: "Meet again, the little girl who likes quicksand buns."
Do not!
Ning Ning looked at him, crying in her heart, this is not as good as Director Chen!
"Why did you come here alone, where's your mother?" Pei Xuan squatted in front of her, smiled at her, then raised his eyes to look at Wen Yu, "This is..."
"Wen Yu." Wen Yu said coldly, "Yan Qing's student."
As if Pei Xuan had never heard these two names, he got up and shook hands with him: "Hello."
The white-gloved hand reached out and held his hand tightly, like a shackle, and refused to let go.
"Do you want to know how Teacher Yan is now?" Wen Yu said coldly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you, nor the Yan Qing you mentioned." Pei Xuan's expression was as usual, and he was even a little innocent. "You've recognized the wrong person."
Wen Yu stared at him for a while, then smiled: "If you turn into ashes, I won't admit you wrong."
Then, he let go of Pei Xuan's hand, bent down and hugged Ning Ning on the ground, and walked towards the door.
"Stop." Pei Xuan's voice came from behind.
Wen Yu didn't stop, and continued to walk out the door.
"It was Ning Yu who asked me to come."
Wen Yu paused and looked back at him with Ning Ning.
"Please." Pei Xuan stretched out a hand towards him and smiled politely, "Give me back that little girl in your arms..."
