what to do? Xu Fei was deeply entangled. If she went to Lu Jingcheng's appointment, she would definitely let Tianyu's pigeons go. But if he went to see Li Tianyu, it meant that he might offend Lu Jingcheng. Now that he had just returned to work and was about to take on a new movie, it would be absolutely irrational to offend his boss at this time.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Fei decided to go see Lu Jingcheng first, after all, for her, career is more important in this situation.
So she told the driver to change direction and go to the western restaurant that Lu Jingcheng mentioned.
When Xu Fei's car stopped in front of the Champs Elysees Western Restaurant, it was exactly 7:20. She tidied up her makeup and walked into the restaurant calmly.
After arriving, she found that her choice was correct, because Lu Jingcheng was already waiting for her. She didn't expect Lu Jingcheng to be so punctual. If she missed the appointment tonight, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Jingcheng, why are you here so early?"
Lu Jingcheng opened the chair for Xu Fei, and said with a smile: "I have never received the education that women wait for men, so every time I go on a date with a girl, I always arrive before the appointed time, that's why some people say, wait is actually It's also fun."
Xu Fei smiled sweetly, "It's only you who can talk about waiting for someone so meaningfully. I'm different from you. What I hate the most is waiting."
Lu Jingcheng sat down in his seat, poured a glass of red wine for Xu Fei, and said with a smile: "Then you should learn more from me, I have been waiting since I was born, waiting for my mother to be free to play with me when I was young." , waiting for my father to pick me up after work and hold me high. Later, something happened at home, and I started wandering around with my mother. I once knelt with my mother at the door of my grandma’s house for a day and a night, just waiting for my grandma to open the door for us. "
As Lu Jingcheng spoke, his eyes began to dim, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone.
Xu Fei couldn't help being moved, "Then what happened later? Did your grandma open the door for you?"
Lu Jingcheng smiled faintly and shook his head, "When my mother and father were in a relationship, my grandma's family strongly opposed it. After they got married, my grandma's family severed ties with my mother, especially after something happened to my family. My grandma's family refused to help my mother from the beginning to the end. So, I didn't wait for them to open the door for us that time."
Xu Fei nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have brought up your sadness."
Lu Jingcheng smiled freely, "It's okay, it's been so many years, I can already face it calmly. And to a certain extent, I want to thank them for rejecting us back then."
"Why?" Xu Fei asked in surprise.
"Because if they accepted my mother back then, the next thing would probably be to let us live under their protection for a period of time, and then quickly introduce another man to my mother while she was young. As for me, I might I grew up in foster care with my grandma, or followed my mother and became another man’s stepson. Regardless of the situation, I will live by watching other people’s faces without exception, and I will gradually lose my self-esteem, self-confidence, and personality. , how could I be who I am today?"
Seeing Lu Jingcheng talking and laughing happily, Xu Fei couldn't help feeling a little admiration, because she grew up with her mother, but she didn't have Lu Jingcheng's mentality.
"Jingcheng, in fact, I can empathize with what happened to you, really."
Lu Jingcheng smiled lightly, "I'll take your words as comforting me."
"It's not consolation!" Xu Fei said, "It's really not consolation! I, like you, grew up with my mother!"
"Oh? Is that true? Are you also a single-parent family?" Lu Jingcheng asked Xu Fei with a surprised look.
Xu Fei felt a little sad, "Yes, I'm not even as good as you. After all, your father was still around when you were young, and I haven't seen my father since I was born."
"Feifei, are you a posthumous child?"
Xu Fei shook her head and said with a wry smile: "When I was young, my mother said that my father was doing a very important thing far away, and that he would come back after it was done. I just sat at the door and watched every day. See, just hoping for him to come back one day, I even pictured his face in my mind. Then I grew up a little bit, and I started to think that my mother was lying to me, my father must be dead, she was so It was just to comfort me. But it was not until last year that I knew that he was not dead at all, nor was he doing important things far away as my mother said, but he was in this city with a prominent status."
"This—" Lu Jingcheng frowned, "I don't quite understand."
Xu Fei's smile was even more bitter, "Forget it, don't talk about me, it sounds terrible."
After finishing speaking, Xu Fei picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank the scarlet wine in one gulp.
"Feifei, your mentality is wrong. The past has actually happened, and none of us can deny its existence. Only by having the courage to face the past can we face the future with our heads held high. Are you right? Is it?" A gleam flashed in Lu Jingcheng's eyes, and he smiled and said, "If you treat me as a friend, you can tell me about your affairs, and I promise you will not mention it to anyone."
Xu Fei picked up the red wine in front of her and poured herself another glass. She sighed and said, "I know you treat me as a friend and want to excuse me. But there's really no need for that. I know what I should do. confused."
Lu Jingcheng stopped talking, and just raised his glass, "Okay, let's soak all our past sufferings into this glass of wine, and after we're done, we won't have troubles again tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Impressed by Lu Jingcheng's arrogance, Xu Fei happily raised her wine glass, "Just do it, and you won't have to worry about it tomorrow!"
There was a light ding, and the wine glasses of the two touched lightly, and the wine in the glasses rippled slightly, just like Xu Fei's mood at this time.
"Bell..."
A cell phone rang from Xu Fei's bag.
Surprised, she picked up her bag and smiled apologetically at Lu Jingcheng, saying, "I'm sorry Jingcheng, I'll answer the phone."
Lu Jingcheng nodded, and watched Xu Fei walk to the bathroom with her bag.
"Feifei, where are you? When will you arrive? Do you want me to pick you up?"
"Oh, no need, just now the crew suddenly called me, saying that they are going to shoot an additional set of shots. I'm on the set right now. If you have other things, let's make an appointment tomorrow." Xu Fei felt guilty lied.
"I have nothing to do at night, wait for you, be careful yourself."
Xu Fei hummed and hung up the phone.
She touched up her makeup, looked at her slightly drunken face in the mirror, and sighed softly.
After returning to his seat, Lu Jingcheng asked casually, "Did your aunt call?"
"Oh. No, a friend."
Lu Jingcheng looked at Xu Fei and smiled.
*
Li Tianyu looked at the watch in his hand, and gradually frowned. It was almost nine o'clock, but Xu Fei hadn't appeared yet.
He called Xu Fei an hour ago. At that time, Xu Fei said that the crew suddenly had to shoot an additional set of shots, and it would be over soon, but more than an hour passed, but there was no movement at all.
Will something happen
Li Tianyu couldn't sit still anymore. After the shadow left, he couldn't find a suitable person to protect Xu Fei secretly, so he couldn't grasp Xu Fei's whereabouts anymore.
Just when Li Tianyu was about to leave, Xu Fei walked over under the guidance of the waiter.
Xu Fei's smell of alcohol made Li Tianyu frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Feifei, have you been drinking?"
Xu Fei stood on tiptoe and hooked Li Tianyu's neck, and said with a coquettish smile, "Oh, the scene I shot just now was a drunk scene, the director said I couldn't feel it, so he really made me drink a few sips, for work Well!"
Li Tianyu looked at Xu Fei's blushing face, and felt pity in his heart. If he made a career by himself, Xu Fei wouldn't have to work so hard.
Thinking of this, Li Tianyu couldn't help blaming himself for a while, and lightly kissed Xu Fei's lips, and said softly, "Feifei, I'm sorry."
