Xia Yitong sent a message to Su Han, asking her to call Fang Hui if she had anything to say. She threw her phone into Fang Hui's bag and decided to cut off contact with the outside world. It was estimated that Lu Yinbing's agent also told them not to contact each other privately, so there was no one to contact.
Lu Yinbing will be back tonight, and they should not sleep in separate rooms. Qin Hanlin asked for it openly, and suddenly separating them would only make it more obvious. What should I do at night? What will Lu Yinbing say? Will she come back
Lu Yinbing turned on the sound of his phone, waiting for the message while asking, "Oh, Mom, I forgot to ask you, what's the matter that made you rush me home?"
Mother Lu looked at her daughter in the rearview mirror, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Nothing, I just missed you and wanted to see you."
"Okay," Lu Yinbing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom, I couldn't stay at home for long."
"We know you're busy with work."
Lu Yunzhang looked ahead, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, and interrupted in a steady voice: "We are a family, there is nothing to be sorry about. You have your job, and we have ours. We all fight for our own territory and just need to defend each other's territory."
Mother Lu turned around and smiled: "Look at your father, he still can't change the way he said things in the army."
Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "That's just because dad is sentimental."
"Of course not. Last time I was having a party with my old comrades. I was so drunk that the driver had to carry me in."
"Dad, are you drunk?" Lu Yinbing was surprised. Lu Yunzhang had been in the army for ten years, and then quit the army to do business. Even if he was busy with social events, he had never been drunk. He even tried hard to get rid of the smell of alcohol before coming home.
Lu Yunzhang said, "You got drunk only once in twenty years. Your mother always complains about it. No matter how successful you are outside, you still talk the same way when you get home. Right, Deputy Director Liu?"
Mother Lu, no, Liu Xinmin spat at him lightly.
Lu Yunzhang smiled and said, "Of course, Deputy Director Liu is teaching me love. Drinking is harmful to your health. I will resolutely obey Deputy Director Liu's instructions."
Lu Yinbing and Liang Shuyao both covered their cheeks at the same time. Lu Yunzhang saw it from the rearview mirror and asked with a smile: "What are you two doing?"
"My tooth hurts." A tacit teasing, an exaggerated expression, and a rising tone.
Liu Xinmin said: "Jealous, you two are going to give us a toothache too?"
Liang Shuyao raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Lu Yinbing. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yinbing blurted out, "Okay, okay, let Liang Shuyao change her personality, and we'll get married right away."
Liang Shuyao: “…”
Lu Yunzhang: “…”
Liu Xinmin: “…”
There was a brief silence in the car. Lu Yunzhang and Liu Xinmin looked at each other. They saw helplessness towards their own daughter and a hint of doubt as to whether Lu Yinbing was their biological daughter. How could they, with such excellent genes, give birth to such a slow-witted daughter
When they were in love, they were full of affection with their eyes. Just one look was enough to attract the other. Even if their daughter used 100,000 volts, it would still be insufficient.
Lu Yinbing had no idea that she was disliked by her biological parents. Since no one was talking, she just looked at her phone. No one knew where Xia Yitong was either. She was not there at this time. Did she listen to her agent and stop contacting her
It's not worth it to lose the big picture for the small. Isn't it better to cling to this thigh of mine than to distance myself from her? They are both aboveboard, and the innocent are innocent!
Lu Yinbing felt a sense of righteousness in her heart, filling her limbs and bones. Liang Shuyao whispered something in her ear but she didn't hear it. She only vaguely heard "OK". She shifted her attention away from the phone screen and asked, "OK what?"
Liang Shuyao: "…Nothing."
Lu Yinbing and Liang Shuyao separated at the airport, one flew to London and the other to Province Z. Lu Yinbing's flight was earlier, so the three of them watched Lu Yinbing pass through security and enter the boarding gate.
Only when Lu Yinbing's back was no longer visible did Liang Shuyao turn around and say, "Aunt Min, Uncle, you guys go back first."
Liu Xinmin said with some guilt: "Look, after all this..."
"It's okay. So many years have passed. It won't matter if it's a little while longer. I believe her."
Liu Xinmin: "I believed her too... Oh, I'm so stupid."
All three laughed.
Lu Yunzhang and Liu Xinmin turned around and went home, while Liang Shuyao was alone in the VIP lounge, resting with her eyes closed.
—It doesn’t have to be a man and a woman, you and I can do this too.
Lu Yinbing, ah Lu Yinbing, Liang Shuyao closed her eyes and sighed.
…
Lu Yinbing turned off his phone under the stewardess's gaze, and in the end, he did not wait for Xia Yitong's response. Two hours later, the plane landed, and Lu Yinbing went straight out of the underground parking lot and headed straight for the set.
Lu Yinbing turned on his phone almost immediately, and a calm message lay firmly in the WeChat dialog box: Why are you asking this
Six words plus one punctuation mark, always concise.
The message was sent two hours ago, when she had just boarded the plane and even just turned off her phone.
It was fate that if the message had been sent earlier, or if Lu Yinbing had turned off her phone a little later, she would have been impulsive and asked questions to get to the bottom of the matter.
It was like a basin of ice water was suddenly poured on a blazing fire. With a sizzling sound, the charred charcoal began to emit white smoke, and all the noise and clamor returned to a long silence. Above the sand, green smoke curled up.
Lu Yinbing didn't know why her excited mood suddenly calmed down. She even wondered why she was so eager to receive a reply just now. No answer could make people calmer than a question.
Lu Yinbing sorted out her messy thoughts and typed, "My agent found out something about the scandal, which happened to include this, so I'm asking you." She responded with concern to a friend and asked again, "Why did you want to play this role? And you snatched it from your colleague?"
Ding Dong—
Xia Yitong unlocked the screen with her fingers almost at the same time as the sound came.
God knows her heart almost jumped out when she saw Lu Yinbing's reckless words two hours ago. She felt a mixture of shock, speculation, and fear. Her palms were sweating. She deleted, deleted, revised, revised and resent. She thought for more than ten minutes before sending out the tentative message: Why do you ask that
She was like a fish trapped in a fish tank, the surging emotions were about to drown her. If Lu Yinbing really wanted to know, she would... Her hands were shaking with excitement, she folded her hands and pressed them against her forehead, with her cell phone screen lit on the table in front of her.
She is still afraid.
The question fell on deaf ears, and Xia Yitong's hot and impulsive blood also cooled down. She began to analyze: Yes, she was just asking, even if it was in the name of a friend, asking such a question was not beyond the point, why was there so much drama in her heart? If Lu Yinbing said "I like you", would you have to take off your clothes and ask for it directly
debauchery!
Xia Yitong cursed herself in her heart.
The moment she saw the message clearly, Xia Yitong's heart returned to her throat. As expected, Lu Yinbing was asking about serious matters. He probably found out that this matter was related to her and came to ask her specifically.
Dirty!
Xia Yitong scolded herself again.
Xia Yitong gave herself a profound ideological education and replied: At that time, I looked at the production team of the movie and wanted to come in and learn from them. It doesn't matter what role I play, what matters is that it is watchable. And I was too tired from running around for announcements at that time, so I wanted to take a break for a while.
That's it? Lu Yinbing frowned. Take a three-month break to play a palace maid? Do you think she's a fool
Sister Laiying and I haven’t seen each other for a long time, so I wanted to visit her on the set.
What else? Lu Yinbing frowned even deeper. She even mentioned die-hard fans. From the beginning to the end, none of them joined the crew because of her. It’s better not to mention such fans.
besides…
Um
Xia Yitong looked around the dressing room and saw no one there. Then she carefully pressed the voice button and released all her emotions. She said solemnly and softly, "Because of you."
The corners of Lu Yinbing's mouth rose unconsciously. He was satisfied. This was good enough.
I just got off the plane and was immediately on the set.
Before Xia Yitong had time to feel disappointed that she skipped the topic, she was surprised: Aren’t you coming back in the evening
Isn't this a problem? I came back to discuss it with you.
Who is it
WeChat received a notification that popped up from the top. Lu Yinbing smiled and replied: I'll tell you when I get back, my agent has just packaged the evidence and sent it to me. I asked Xiaoxi to print out a copy and send it directly to the room and wait for me to come back.
Now? I'm still on the set
Don’t you have a show this morning
yes.
I'm not here in the afternoon, what are you still looking at
Xia Yitong's heart skipped a beat, she took a breath, and almost yelled into the microphone: Can you stop flirting with me? You flirted with me but you won't marry me!
He calmly replied: Watching others filming.
They are not as good-looking as me, don't look at them, hurry back, ah. If I go back and see you are not here, you know the consequences.
What are the consequences? Xia Yitong asked, eating two catties of bear heart and leopard courage.
The consequence... probably is that the rumor got more and more intense, and I had no choice but to confirm it, and you promised to marry me.
…
I still have half an hour to go, hurry up and send fewer ellipsis, data traffic is quite expensive.
Xia Yitong: “…”
Doesn’t the ellipsis use less data than Chinese characters? Besides, she is an actress worth hundreds of millions, and she flies first class both ways, so doesn’t it cost more data
This person is always right no matter what she says.
The point is, Xia Yitong found herself falling for her tricks. Did Lu Yinbing grow up eating cuteness
