"Jiaojiao, you are back."
Sheng Jiaoyang heard this sentence as soon as she entered the set. She raised her eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong?"
The director didn't call her in the past few days, which meant there was no filming problem. But the crew members who met her looked at her with gossipy eyes, so what exactly happened.
"The man who caused trouble last time has been squatting outside the set to look for you in the past few days. This man is also a god. You have been here for so many days but he didn't come to you. He came just after you asked for leave."
"Damn, he still dares to come!" Zeng Huan looked angry.
Sheng Jiaoyang was not angry, but asked calmly: "Did you ask me for anything?"
"I didn't say it, but he always held a bouquet of roses."
Sheng Jiaoyang was not a passive person, so she called Zeng Daren directly and said straight to the point: "I heard that your son has been looking for me outside the set where I was filming in the past few days. Did you know?"
"Miss Xu, my Zeng Yuan is here to apologize to you."
"Oh? I thought he was here to create a scandal for me."
"...What did this brat do again?" Zeng Daren asked very cautiously.
"I heard that he comes here every day holding roses. Are you sure he doesn't want to increase topics for the media?"
Zeng Daren on the other side of the phone was already stunned. What did the brat mean by this move
"Miss Xu, don't worry, I will definitely educate him well!"
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't take Zeng Daren's words to heart, and went to do some styling as soon as she hung up the phone.
After changing into costumes and styling, Zeng Huan said, Zeng Yuan is here again.
"Still holding flowers?"
"That's not true, but there is a sign on his chest that says 'please forgive me'."
"Let people watch him and don't cause anything else."
"Jiaojiao, do you want to see him now?"
Sheng Jiaoyang put his hands on the armrest, applied nails to the makeup artist, and said: "Let him wait. Since it is an apology, it must be sincere."
Zeng Huan went out.
"Okay." The makeup artist quickly applied the manicure.
Sheng Jiaoyang was about to get up and go to the studio when he heard the makeup artist say: "Jiaojiao, it's best to take off the ring on your hand first, lest you forget to take it off during the filming and it will be worn if it is photographed."
Everyone else in the dressing room looked over.
Sheng Jiaoyang lowered her head and looked at the ring on her finger. She ignored the gazes of others. She just thanked the makeup artist and went out.
As soon as she walked out of the dressing room and she hadn't walked a few steps, she remembered that she didn't have her phone, so she went back to get it. When she reached the door of the dressing room, she heard chatter inside.
"No way? With her current fame, she can't get married in such a silent way, right?"
"She has not reached the age of marriage yet, how dare she promote marriage."
"Xiao Fen, I seem to see that the ring is worn on the middle finger, right?"
"Yeah, so don't make random guesses. I'm not married yet."
"Then have you seen a ring on her finger before?"
"This... doesn't seem to exist."
"So she is not on the set these days but is getting engaged? She is still so young, and her career is on the rise now, why should she decide so early! Look at her popularity, who would get married and engaged so early. "
"Could you be pregnant?"
"Who's pregnant?"
"Xu Jiaojiao!" As soon as this person finished speaking, he realized that it was Xu Jiaojiao who asked the question.
Everyone had the awkward feeling of being caught gossiping behind someone's back, and the dressing room suddenly became particularly quiet.
Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at the people present, took his cell phone and left without saying anything.
It took a while before someone breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, it's better not to talk behind other people's backs from now on. It's really embarrassing to be overheard on the spot."
"What are you afraid of? She can't do anything to us."
"Even though I say that, it's still not good."
Of course, Sheng Jiaoyang didn't know what the people in the dressing room said next. These were nothing to her. She had long been used to being criticized behind her back. She remembered that when she first returned to China last year, almost everyone around her They would all talk about her behind her back, like those friends around Lin Yu who would criticize her in front of her. When she was in a good mood, she would ignore them and ignore them all. When she was in a bad mood, of course she would just yell back at them.
As for what those people said just now, she didn't take it seriously at all. After taking off the ring and giving it to Zeng Huan for safekeeping, she entered the studio.
During the lunch break, Sheng Jiaoyang heard that Zeng Yuan was still waiting outside, so he asked Zeng Huan to bring him in.
When she saw Zeng Yuan, Sheng Jiaoyang almost didn't recognize Master Zeng.
The man standing in front of her at this time had a bruised nose and swollen face, and his eyes were like panda eyes. His hands were still in plaster and bandaged. There was a crooked sign in front of him that read "I'm sorry." He looked particularly pitiful.
He lowered his head, completely different from his arrogant and shouting attitude last time.
"I'm asking for forgiveness for carrying a thorn bush. What's the crime?" Sheng Jiaoyang asked deliberately.
Master Zeng raised his eyes and glanced at her resentfully, and said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude before. I'm a bastard. You can punish me however you want. I just ask you to forgive me."
Sheng Jiaoyang looked at his pig-headed face with great interest, admired it for a while, and then said calmly: "I was planning to donate the money you lost in gambling last time, but I didn't see you as soon as the auction ended. People."
"I will double my donation in your name, I just ask you to forgive me."
Hearing this, Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Zeng Yuan in surprise. This guy actually understood what she meant and seemed to have improved a lot. Mr. Zeng was really good at beating the whole family's babies to such an extent that she was especially curious about what the rest of the Zeng family thought when they saw the pig-headed young master.
"I don't like hearing these lies." Sheng Jiaoyang leaned back in his chair.
Master Zeng, who had gained some sense, understood the situation as soon as he heard it and said quickly: "I will go to the Red Cross to donate money as soon as I get back."
"This is too simple and prevents me from seeing the sincerity of your apology."
"Then what do you want me to do before you let me go?" Master Zeng looked at her resentfully.
Sheng Jiaoyang raised his eyebrows, let him go? The word is a bit subtle. She asked a little curiously: "What have you suffered these days?"
Master Zeng shuddered, as if remembering what happened recently, he lowered his head and muttered: "Don't you know best, why are you asking me?"
"what are you saying?"
"No, I didn't say anything. Auntie, tell me what exactly you want me to do. I beg you!"
"I have been to impoverished mountainous areas for filming before. Due to the pressure of family life, many children there have no choice but to drop out of school early and help work at home to support their families. However, this does not fundamentally solve the family's difficulties, because the next generation will only continue to go down the same path. Their old ways will keep them poor from generation to generation."
At this point, Sheng Jiaoyang paused and looked at Zeng Yuan's expression. Seeing that he was listening carefully, he continued: "I want you to use this money to support children who want to study. Remember, It’s not a one-time thing. I want you to support them until you no longer want to study. Even if they go to college or graduate school or get a Ph.D., you have to continue to support them. You have to support at least five such children.”
Master Zeng looked at her with a look that said, "You are so cruel." After thinking about his miserable life these days, he quickly agreed without hesitation.
"I ask you to do this yourself and not to let others do it for you. You must follow up at any time and update your task progress on Weibo. I will follow you. If you can't do it-"
Sheng Jiaoyang's lips curled up, "You will be even worse off than you are now."
Master Zeng was startled. In his eyes, her smile was the same as that of a devil.
"You can go, it depends on your performance."
Zeng Yuan left quickly, fearing that she would make any more outrageous demands.
Seeing how the previously so arrogant and fearless Master Zeng had become so well-behaved, Sheng Jiaoyang really began to wonder what had happened to Master Zeng these days.
She felt that it wasn't just a beating that made him honest. A guy like him who was spoiled since childhood would definitely not be honest just because of a beating. It was very likely that he would become more rebellious because of a beating.
Zeng Daren must know best what happened to Master Zeng.
Sheng Jiaoyang called Zeng Daren again.
"Ms. Xu, did my brat apologize properly?" As soon as the call was answered, the other party asked loudly.
"The change is quite big. How did Mr. Zeng do it?" Sheng Jiaoyang also asked his doubts.
"Uh... Miss Xu, you don't know?"
Sheng Jiaoyang felt very strange, "What should I know?"
"After I brought Zeng Yuan home last time, I really made up my mind to discipline him well, so I begged other people in the family to cooperate with me, and then I cut off this stinky brat's pocket money. Without pocket money, he He didn't even have money to keep his horse. When he asked for money from his family and couldn't get it, he went to his friends to borrow money. I was already prepared for a long-term confrontation with this bastard, but then he was beaten. , and even the buddy who was with him was beaten.”
"Well, but what does this have to do with me? I didn't call the person who beat them. I don't even know this."
"Miss Xu, these four groups of people said..."
"Wait, four groups of people?" Sheng Jiaoyang heard a key word.
"Yes, my brat was beaten up four times, and every friend who took him in was also beaten. I can guarantee that these four groups of people are venting their anger on you."
"I thought he was beaten like this by you."
"I can't do this, and I don't dare to hit him, otherwise the two old people at home will have to tear me apart." Zeng Daren sighed, "Miss Xu, Zeng Yuan really knows that he is wrong. Can you please help me?" To put it bluntly, Zeng Yuan is now very nervous even when he goes to bed at night. Before, when he was hiding at home, people would sneak in in the middle of the night and pretend to be ghosts to scare him. Some people would just slap him in the face when they caught him, and another group would do nothing more serious. Zeng Yuan’s hands were beaten and fractured.”
"..." It turns out that so many things happened. Sheng Jiaoyang was very surprised. (To be continued)
