Dad Zheng was originally going out to deal with the company's affairs today, but he answered a phone call in the middle and went to the old town to pick up Mr. Ge.
Zheng Baozhu invited them in, poured them a cup of hot tea, and looked at them strangely: "Dad, why did you come here with Teacher Ge?"
Dad Zheng laughed dryly and said, "Oh, I happened to meet him downstairs."
Teacher Ge also cooperated with his words: "Yes, I happened to meet. I heard that your grandmother was injured, so I came here to see."
Zheng Baozhu asked suspiciously, "You and my grandmother know each other?"
After asking, she felt that the question was a bit redundant. Teacher Ge was also my aunt's teacher back then, so it's not surprising that she knew her grandmother.
Ge Hongyi smiled and said, "I do know. We met Mingmei when she was still studying. Later, when Mingmei went out to perform, she couldn't get in touch. Your grandmother also found me here..."
Later, it was time for Mingmei to have an accident.
It seemed that she heard a movement outside. Su Mingxi walked out of the bedroom and saw Ge Hongyi sitting on the sofa. She was also stunned for a moment: "Are you, Teacher Ge?"
"Are you Baozhu's mother?" Ge Hongyi nodded, looked at Su Ming and said happily, "Today came so suddenly, I'm disturbing you."
"Where is it." Su Mingxi said politely, but he quickly wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter. Teacher Ge is Mingmei's mentor, but after Mingmei's death, they haven't seen each other for a long time. As soon as the filming of Baozhu was exposed, Mr. Ge came over. It must be the family surnamed Gao who went to rescue the soldiers.
Elder Ge was older than them, and he was a highly respected teacher, so they never dared to yell at him.
"I heard that Baozhu's grandmother fell on her leg? How is it now?" Ge Hongyi asked with concern.
Su Ming said happily: "It's okay, the doctor said it's fine to rest at home. My mother is resting in the house, I'll take you in to see her."
"Okay." Ge Hongyi nodded and followed Su Mingxi to the bedroom.
As soon as they left, Su Jiaying curiously approached Zheng Baozhu and asked her, "Is this Teacher Ge the teacher of Aunt Mingmei's teacher? I've heard of his name. There are many movie stars and queens in the entertainment industry. He brought it all out."
"Yeah." Zheng Baozhu nodded. Su Jiaying asked again, "Then why do you know Mr. Ge?"
Zheng Baozhu said: "Before Director Gao introduced me to him to learn acting."
Su Jiaying's eyes widened slightly, and she was very surprised: "Mr. Ge will teach you personally? Then this opportunity is rare, you have to study hard!"
"I know."
"Hey, then Mr. Ge came over today, did he come to speak for you?"
Zheng Baozhu shook his head slightly without making a sound. It must not be a coincidence that Teacher Ge suddenly appeared here. She thought that it was very likely that she would be a lobbyist for her, but how did he know
She thought for a while, picked up her phone and sent a message to Gao Boyun: "Did you tell Teacher Ge about me?"
As if waiting for her news, Gao Boyun replied to her in seconds: "I don't have it, but I told my dad and he said he would ask someone to help, wouldn't it be Mr. Ge??!"
Zheng Baozhu: ... That should be it. He is at my house right now, talking to my grandmother.
Gao Boyun: Ah this
It seems that his father is still reliable once, and even moved Old Ge out.
Gao Boyun: When Mr. Ge came out, things were basically stable. It seems that Mr. Ge is also reluctant to let you quit the entertainment industry.
Zheng Baozhu: I hope he can convince my grandmother _(:з"∠)_
Gao Boyun: It's not a big problem. By the way, how is your grandmother's injury
Zheng Baozhu: It's not a big problem
Gao Boyun: …
"Cousin, which little brother are you messaging again?" Yaoyao came over secretly, wanting to peek at Zheng Baozhu's cell phone. Zheng Baozhu deliberately took the phone back to prevent her from looking at it, but she neglected this action, which was equivalent to handing the phone to Qu Zhi.
Qu Zhi lowered his eyes slightly and caught sight of her phone screen. Yaoyao looked up at Qu Zhi's direction and shouted at him, "Brother Qu Zhi, have you seen it?"
"Yeah." Qu Zhi responded in a low voice and withdrew his gaze.
Zheng Baozhu: "?"
Dare they are fighting a cooperative battle?
"It's very immoral to peek at other people's mobile phone content!" Zheng Baozhu locked the screen of his mobile phone and turned his head to accuse Qu Zhi. Qu Zhi acted as calm as ever, as if the person who peeked at someone else's phone just now was not him: "You handed the phone over yourself, and I saw it accidentally."
"… Ah!"
Qu Zhi handed the sugar orange peeled off from his hand to Zheng Baozhu, and said casually, "Gao Boyun really cares about you."
Zheng Baozhu ate a small sugar orange in one bite, spit out the seeds inside and said to Qu Zhi, "That's not right, he also said that he wanted me to make a scene in a few days, if I can't go, He's got a big head."
"Oh." Qu Zhi responded and picked up another sugar orange, "Do you still want it?"
Yaoyao squeezed over from the side: "Yaoyao wants to eat too!"
Seeing this, Su Jiaying beckoned to her: "Yaoyao, come to my mother, don't disturb people's relationship."
Zheng Baozhu: "…"
Qu Zhi: "… "
In the room, Ge Hongyi sat on the chair in front of the bed, first cared about Zheng Baozhu's grandmother's body, and then cut to the point: "I'm here today, and I actually want to talk to you about Baozhu. To be honest, Baozhu also I've been studying acting here for a few months."
Su Mingxi was stunned for a moment. She had heard Zheng Baozhu say that she had a teacher, but she didn't expect it to be Elder Ge.
Grandma didn't seem to be particularly surprised. She smiled lightly and said to Ge Hongyi, "I guessed it roughly. If Baozhu wasn't your apprentice, how could you come here for her."
Ge Hongyi held up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to her in a calm tone: "Baozhu is a very talented child, learns things quickly, and has a high understanding. I am very optimistic about her. She does have some bright and beautiful shadows on her. , but she is not Mingmei, the difference between the two of them is still very big."
Grandma Zheng Baozhu sighed softly: "Mr. Ge, I know what you mean by coming today, but you also understand the situation in our family..."
"I know, it's not been easy for you all these years." Ge Hongyi said, and he sighed, "But Baozhu shouldn't come to admit all this, I can see that she really loves acting, otherwise she It's impossible for you to refuse to give up when you are all so opposed to it. I know what you are worried about, but if doing so, will it put a lot of pressure on her instead?"
Grandma's eyes moved, and after a long while, she said, "Mr. Ge, Baozhu and the others told us a lot in the hospital today. I was discussing with Mingxi just now, did we really do something wrong after so many years? But we are really worried about Orb."
Ge Hongyi smiled understandingly and comforted her softly: "I am also an elder, and I understand your feelings as elders. But if you really want to worry about the younger generation, there is no end to it. If you don't worry about it, you can I will be worried about that. Besides, we can't control them for the rest of their lives. After we pass away, will they live the way they want? It's just that if they want to do what they like at that time, it may be too late. So you have to relax, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Grandma stared somewhere without saying a word, Ge Hongyi said to her earnestly: "At our age, life has already been seen, and there is not much difference in how we are, but young people are different, Baozhu is only twenty-five years old. , her future is still so long, she has to live those days by herself, we can't replace her. If we insist that they live according to our ideas, we will be temporarily happy, but they may be unhappy for the rest of their lives, in the end Maybe he left with hatred for us. Is this really what we want?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence, and no one spoke for a while. Ge Hongyi sat for a while, and then urged Grandma Zheng Baozhu to pay attention to her body, and then she stood up from the chair: "I know it's useless to say more about this kind of thing, I still have to figure it out myself. Today I won't do it. Excuse me, take a good rest."
"Okay." Grandma Zheng Baozhu nodded, looked at him and said, "Mr. Ge, I know what you just said was from the bottom of your heart, I will think about it. Mingxi, you will send Teacher Ge off."
"Okay." Su Ming happily agreed and followed Teacher Ge out. As soon as she came out, she saw everyone furtively looking at their direction. She didn't say anything, but just glanced at Dad Zheng: "Let's go, send Teacher Ge back."
"Okay." Dad Zheng picked up his jacket and followed them out. Zheng Baozhu followed, and asked anxiously, "Should I go see Teacher Ge off?"
"No, you stay with Yaoyao, your father's driving skills are not that bad."
"...Okay." After Zheng Baozhu said goodbye to Ge Hongyi, she sat back on the sofa again. Su Jiaying asked her, "Why is your mother so mysterious and didn't reveal it at all?"
"I don't know either." Zheng Baozhu was also curious about what they were talking about inside, but she didn't dare to ask.
"Baozhu." Grandma's voice suddenly came from the room, "Come in."
Zheng Baozhu was stunned for a moment, and there was a little panic in his eyes. Su Jiaying patted the back of her hand and comforted her with her eyes, "Don't panic, stay steady"!
Qu Zhi followed Zheng Baozhu to stand up and asked her in a low voice, "Would you like me to accompany you in?"
Zheng Baozhu was about to nod her head when she heard her grandmother call her again: "You come in alone."
"..." Zheng Baozhu reluctantly glanced at everyone in the living room and walked in alone. Grandma got off the bed by herself, and was sitting in a wheelchair, so scared that Zheng Baozhu hurried up: "Grandma, why did you get down by yourself?"
"I'm fine." Grandma said, pushing her wheelchair to an old wardrobe. Zheng Baozhu followed her. Seeing that she wanted to open the door of the wardrobe, she helped her open it: "Grandma, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."
"It's the iron box at the bottom, you can take it out for me." Grandma stretched out her finger and pointed to the bottom of the wardrobe.
There were still some old clothes in the closet. Zheng Baozhu bent down and searched for a while before finding the iron box that grandma said. There is an old lock on the box, which has been somewhat rusted, and it can be seen that it has not been used for a long time.
Zheng Baozhu handed the box to her grandmother, and asked curiously, "Grandma, what's in it?"
The box is still a bit big, it doesn't look like it's for small things.
Grandma fumbled for a key from the drawer of the dresser, inserted it into the lock of the box, and twisted it several times before opening the lock: "Sure enough, if this thing is not used for a long time, it will rust."
She grumbled, took the lock off, and opened the box. Zheng Baozhu glanced inward, and there was a photo of Su Mingmei on the top surface.
She stood there in a daze, and her grandmother took out the contents in the same way: "When Ming Meihong didn't have any online Weibo, at that time everyone still read newspapers and magazines, and every time there was news about her, I just like to cut it out and put it together. Look, it's all here."
Each page of the yellowed paper has Su Mingmei's photo and name, information about her movies, her interviews, reports of how hot her fan meeting was, and stills from her filming. In the end, it was the year she committed suicide, and the headlines of major newspapers and magazines covered the news.
"At that time, the traffic was not developed, and she went out of town to film, and it was difficult for us to see her." Grandma stroked Su Mingmei in the photo, her eyes gradually became wet, "I always feel sorry for Mingmei, she was so young at a young age. I spent a lot of time filming outside alone all the year round, but I didn’t spend much time with her. Once she was injured outside, I didn’t know until I read the newspaper. I wanted to see her, but that I couldn't get in touch with her for a while, and finally I asked Teacher Ge to send me and your mother to the crew. Her legs at that time were more exaggerated than mine. "
Zheng Baozhu had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know what to say to comfort her grandmother. Grandma turned her head to look at her, as if she saw Su Mingmei through her: "You don't have much contact with Mingmei, so maybe you don't have much impression of her, but' The name "Baozhu" was given to you by your aunt. She said, this is a priceless treasure, which means the pearl in the palm of your hand."
Zheng Baozhu's eyes were also a little red, and few people told her about her aunt. She only heard from her grandmother now that she knew that her name was given by her aunt.
"We never thought that one day she would choose such an extreme way to leave us." Grandma said this, her emotions were uncontrollably excited, and even her voice was full of choking, "My daughter committed suicide, she not only She denied her own life, and she also denied my mother's life! For so many years, apart from heartache, I feel more guilty for her. I always think, if I could stay by her side more, would she be right? Why don't you do such a stupid thing?"
"Grandma, don't be like this. Auntie definitely doesn't mean that." Zheng Baozhu saw that grandma was so sad, so she went up to hug her to comfort her, "Grandma, don't be too sad, take care of your health."
Grandma raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face. After she was calm, she took out the last thing in the tin box: "Before Ming Mei committed suicide, she wrote a suicide note. This suicide note is in addition to the police and the people around Ming Mei at that time. Staff, only a few of our family members have seen it."
She opened the envelope in her hand and took out a yellowed letter from inside.
