Xi Mo is a cautious person.
This kind of prudence enables her to find clues even in tiny places. If Xi Mo notices something is wrong, questions will follow, and Xi Mo also has her own considerations for these questions.
Many questions are irrelevant to her. Even if Xi Mo finds out, she doesn't care. She might as well rest when she has time to spare. But if she feels that some questions are necessary to clarify, then she will choose to combine the information to judge and analyze, and then use her own way to detour.
Or, ask directly.
And once she is not a temptation, but really asks directly, it means that she actually has a great degree of trust in the person who is inquiring, and she is very concerned about these doubts. If she can't get an answer, she won't force it, but may continue to care about it for a while.
Ruan Yesheng knew her well, and only hoped that she would feel more at ease.
Although Ruan Yesheng had already made preparations, he knew that when he answered Xi Mo later, he would not tell the truth in some places.
Thinking of this, Ruan Yesheng felt guilty again.
Xi Mo said: "Your mother..."
After the fire in the hotel, she woke up in the hospital as Ruan Yesheng, and found that the ward was deserted and unattended. It stands to reason that even if others don't come, Ruan Yesheng's parents should come too. After all, it is his biological daughter who just escaped from the fire, which is already an earth-shattering event for a family. It is said that the hearts of parents all over the world are pitiful. Even if some parents travel thousands of miles away on business and hear a similar hospital notice, they will find a way to get back quickly.
Ruan Yesheng's parents did not come.
At that time, Xi Mo also thought that it might be due to some reasons, and he didn't get in touch for the time being, but since then, Ruan Yesheng's parents still never showed up.
So there was a moment when Xi Mo inevitably had an ominous conjecture.
After graduating for many years, Xi Mo also kept in touch with some of his former college classmates. She is a student of the film academy, and many of her classmates are working hard in this circle now, including many celebrities. Although Xi Mo doesn't like to make close friends with others, but in the same circle, maybe they will cooperate with them anytime. There will still be contacts. In previous exchanges, sometimes the classmates also talked about Ruan Yesheng, but no one said anything about the death of Ruan Yesheng's parents.
And Ruan Yesheng is very popular. Based on Ruan Yesheng's friendship with those classmates in the class, if there was a funeral of a close relative at home in the past, some good classmates should come to attend to show their condolences. Since there has never been any news about the funeral, and ordinary people's family will not deliberately conceal the funeral, it means that her parents should be alive, so Xi Mo also dispelled this conjecture at that time.
Later, when I heard Ruan Yesheng talking, I occasionally mentioned her mother. Her mother seems to be very busy and doesn't come home often, but when she comes back, she will bring all kinds of gifts, and she also put a lot of effort into cooking, for fear that Ruan Yesheng would not find it delicious. It's just the ordinary bits and pieces in life, but I can feel that Ruan Yesheng's mother really loves her, and she has a very deep relationship with her mother.
However, Xi Mo did not see Ruan Yesheng's mother with his own eyes, but when he first returned to Ruan Yesheng's house, he saw her mother's photo on the table, a very temperamental woman with similar features to Ruan Yesheng.
Ruan Yesheng lowered her eyelashes, her eyes seemed to be evasive. After a while, she said softly, "My mother... She has work and has been traveling abroad for a long time, so she is very busy."
She added: "Mum's sauced elbow is delicious. I like it very much, so when I saw you bought the sauced elbow and mentioned my mother again, I suddenly missed her very much."
Xi Mo felt that there was something unclear in her words, and her words seemed vague in some places, but tried to comfort: "It turns out that she is going abroad. If you want her, you can send her a message."
Although making a phone call or even a video call is the most direct and effective way to communicate with relatives who are traveling, and it is the best way to relieve missing, but Xi Mo can't suggest that. The other party is Ruan Yesheng's mother, so she must be very familiar with her daughter, and her daughter has now transformed into another image and has a different voice, so it is really inconvenient to communicate, so she can only send messages without showing her face and making no sound. way to contact.
Ruan Yesheng said: "... I know, it's all news."
"Where's your father?"
The look in Ruan Yesheng's eyes was even more gloomy: "...also with her, abroad. I told you that they are doing scientific research, and many times they can't leave."
Xi Mo kept looking at her, and his voice was a little uncomfortable: "Do you think I'm checking your account?"
Ruan Yesheng raised his eyes: "No."
She knew in her heart that Xi Mo was concerned about her, otherwise, with Xi Mo's character, she would not have asked.
Xi Mo seemed relieved and nodded.
"Actually, I'm still a little happy." Ruan Yesheng's voice softened.
"how?"
Ruan Yesheng smiled and said, "You never asked me this before."
"I didn't know you that well before, so it's inappropriate to ask these questions."
Ruan Yesheng's eyes hooked at her: "You mean, now we two are very suitable?"
Xi Mo: "..."
Seeing that Xi Mo suddenly stopped talking, Ruan Yesheng said, "Don't you still have questions to ask me?"
"No, that's all."
"Don't watch me cry just now, so don't ask. It doesn't matter, what you should ask is still to ask. You had a lot of brief messages in the message before and didn't say anything else. I think you should be planning to. Talk to me when we meet."
"Sword Comes"
Xi Mo heard Ruan Yesheng's words and looked at her again.
It's just some details that can almost be ignored, and Ruan Yesheng can still see the meaning behind it at a glance. To be able to do this, intelligence is essential, but more should be understood.
How could Ruan Yesheng know her so well
Since when did you know this
"Is there really no other problem?" Ruan Yesheng rested one hand on the table and held his cheek.
"No." Xi Mo nodded.
Ruan Yesheng blinked: "I don't believe it."
Xi Mo had no choice but to say, "Actually, there is another problem."
Ruan Yesheng smiled and waited for her to continue.
Xi Mo said, "I asked who you were having dinner with before, and you said it was with a good friend of yours."
She frowned slightly: "You, in my image, have dinner with your good friend?"
Ruan Yesheng seemed to have long expected that Xi Mo would be suspicious, and still maintained the posture of holding his cheeks, and there was no embarrassment to be seen through.
In fact, she replied like this on purpose at first, but now she finally waited until Xi Mo came to ask, she smiled: "Yes, the other party is in fact my former good friend. I will ask for leave today, and it is also temporarily for cooperation. I need to meet the other party for something. I have dinner with the other party as you, but the other party doesn't actually know it's me. Don't worry, although he is my good friend, the other party treats me as you and talks about it. It's also your job."
Ruan Yesheng suddenly asked for leave this time. She knew that when Xi Mo was worried, she would definitely ask her about it. This is human nature, so she must prepare the reason for the leave early in the morning.
She couldn't tell the truth about this reason, but she also didn't want to be too general when she made up her rhetoric, because Xi Mo is very smart, and general vague statements can't deceive her, Xi Mo will easily see that it is perfunctory, then Ruan Yesheng had to add some truth and details to it.
It's like she replies that she's having dinner with a good friend, that's the truth and the details. If she said that the person she went to see this time regarded her as Xi Mo, although it could not be explained, the relationship between her and the other party who used to be good friends will not change due to the change of her image at the moment, it is also feasible Yes, it won't be revealed.
And based on this detail, firstly, Xi Mo's attention can be diverted from her reason for taking a leave of absence, and replaced by the so-called good friend, and secondly, she can carry out certain processing on this detail to better improve her Her rhetoric finally concealed the true purpose of her leave this time.
Ruan Yesheng didn't want to lie to Xi Mo.
But she didn't want to roll Xi ink in. She knew that she was in deep trouble and couldn't get away. If she could keep Xi Mo away, deception might be the best option she could think of at the moment.
When it comes back later, Xi Mo can live a normal life again, and everything will be on the right track.
Lies are really weird things. It is obviously deceiving, some people lie, it is a calculation, and some people lie, but it is a protection.
There was no obvious change on Xi Mo's face, and he said, "The person you want to help me meet happens to be your former friend? You know a lot of people."
Ruan Yesheng smiled and snorted: "I've been popular before, and I know a lot of people, can't I?"
"Can."
Regarding this, Xi Mo believed it.
Ruan Yesheng was very popular back then, and she used to be the dazzling star.
But this circle is cruel. The passage of time will take away all the traces of its glory, not to mention that after such a long silence disappears, even sharp and conspicuous stones can be smoothed out. This is why many celebrities do not become popular every now and then, for fear that the audience will no longer pay attention to them. The replacement is so fast, and the artists are struggling in this impetuous circle. Over time, for those who retire, except for those who are really small Some diehard fans, most of the spectators choose to forget.
Thinking of this, Xi Mo felt sorry for Ruan Yesheng.
She can see that Ruan Yesheng loves acting. When she was in college, Ruan Yesheng's enthusiasm for acting was obvious to all. She has remarkable talent, but still works tirelessly.
But she finally left the acting path she originally wanted to fight for.
There are some speculations on the Internet that Ruan Yesheng may have offended someone, was blocked, and was hidden in various ways.
Xi Mo understands that this is all nonsense, because Ruan Yesheng used to be in the circle, and he was famous for being well-connected and popular.
Although there are occasional people in the circle who are blocked, they choose to fade out due to lack of resources and desperate, but this will never happen to Ruan Yesheng. As Ruan Yesheng said herself, she knew a lot of people, many of them with status in the circle. Since she has such a wide network of contacts, it is impossible for her to get resources. Even if she may encounter one or two people who want to stumble her, she still has so many to choose from. With her ability, it is entirely her choice. , instead of someone else picking her up.
Ruan Yesheng has a good appearance and good acting skills. When he was popular back then, that stop was a cash cow. So no matter whether it is a brokerage company or an investor who holds the capital behind it, they will not be so stupid. They must be holding her and making money from her. In addition, Ruan Yesheng is so good at being a man and has many friends, so there is no possibility of blocking or deliberately blocking resources. The biggest possibility is that Ruan Yesheng left on his own due to some unavoidable reasons.
Otherwise, as long as she goes around human relations, some of her friends will always help her, but she doesn't.
This shows that Ruan Yesheng should have given up on her own initiative.
Did she get into some serious trouble
Otherwise why give up the acting career she loves.
The more Xi Mo thought about it, the more he cared about Ruan Yesheng's past.
At the same time, she also felt a little afterthought that she seemed to be a little too interested in Ruan Yesheng.
Ruan Yesheng didn't know what Xi Mo was thinking at the moment, and continued to laugh: "Then do you want to know who the good friend I am talking about is, what important work are we talking about together, why is the schedule so busy, and we have to eat takeout? After all, this is actually your job, and I'm just acting for you, so it makes sense for you to understand."
However, Xi Mo slowly shook his head: "No, originally you took care of my work for me, so you don't need to go into such detail."
She said: "I said, I'll give it to you, I'm very relieved."
Ruan Yesheng had already guessed that she would say this, and she felt warm in her heart.
The matter of asking for leave was finally revealed, but she was more and more guilty because she went around so many circles to make up lies in order to conceal Xi Mo. In this warmth, there is a subtle sense of guilt.
The more Xi Mo showed relief, the more panic she felt in her heart at the moment, feeling that she had betrayed her trust.
"Thank you for being so reassuring to me." Ruan Yesheng said.
… sorry.
Ruan Yesheng was quiet for a while, and then said: "Actually, some people you may not have had much contact with are probably my good friends. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to you later."
Xi Mo was very keen, and vaguely felt that what she said meant something, but still said: "I know, you used to be well-connected."
Ruan Yesheng smiled, noncommittal.
The two chatted for a while, and Xi Mo saw that Ruan Yesheng was a little tired. Considering that she might be tired today, he said, "Let's rest early today, I'll go back first."
Ruan Yesheng actually didn't want her to go.
But she also knew that she couldn't be bothered like this. In terms of her current relationship with Xi Mo, she had no position to keep her, so she got up and cleaned the table, and said, "Okay, you also go to bed earlier."
Xi Mo said, "Are you going to the studio tomorrow?"
"will go."
Xi Mo said nothing and stood there waiting for her to clean up. Ruan Yesheng packed up and put the garbage into the garbage bag, and Xi Mo took it and said, "I'll take it and throw it away."
Ruan Yesheng smiled at her.
Xi Mo went out, went to the trash can specially placed at the corner of the stairs at the hotel to throw away the garbage, and then took the elevator to the floor where she lived.
When she returned to the outside of her room, she happened to meet a person holding a tray with a meal in it, bent over at the door of the room next to hers. Looking at the man's dress, he was the food delivery staff of the restaurant downstairs. Many guests didn't want to go out, so they ordered food directly in the room.
The food delivery person put down the meal, neither called to notify nor knocked on the door. He turned around, saw Xi Mo, and politely greeted: "Good evening."
Then left.
Xi Mo walked over and silently looked at the door next door.
She has lived here for so long, but she has never seen anyone living next door once. Most of the rooms in the hotel are booked by the crew, so there are not many other guests in the room, many of them are fixed, and they live for a long time, which is a bit of short-term rental.
She had never seen whether the fixed crew lived next door, or the FITs who changed at any time outside.
But looking at the dinner at the door, it means that there are people living inside. And the food delivery man didn't call or knock on the door just now. It should be because he was told by the people in the room to just put it down. And looking at the performance of the food delivery man, he seemed to be used to it. Maybe he often does this. Deliver food to the next room and leave without notice.
Most people will not let their meals be placed at the door, and will go out in person to pick them up.
Xi Mo looked at the dinner at the door next door. It was a steak, enough for one person, covered by a transparent cover, and accompanied by table wine. She frowned, swiped the door of her room with her room card, and walked in.
After a few minutes, Xi Mo came out of the room again.
This time, she casually glanced at the door next door, the dinner was gone, it should have been brought in by the person next door.
The author has something to say: I'm a little tired today, so I can only pause for a lovely day.
