Chapter 9 Suspecting a Fake Boyfriend
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Wen Ci's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously hid her phone behind her.
If Xie Peizhou called back, he would definitely discover her secret...
Can't.
Wen Ci greeted Xie Peizhou as if nothing had happened, "Are you coming out to the bathroom? The bathroom is on the left."
Xie Peizhou frowned and looked at her, his voice cold and gloomy, "Wen Ci, you are too obsessed with love."
Wen Ci was stunned.
She has been abroad for the past few years, and some of the domestic memes are out of sync with her. "If you don't have a love brain when it comes to love, then what brain should you have?"
Xie Peizhou's brows tightened even more, his throat felt sore and his heart ached.
Well, he's gotten worse again.
Before Wen Ci returned to China, he just couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Now, just because he heard her say to the man on the other end of the phone, "You are my dearest baby," his heart felt that familiar but non-fatal ant-gnawing feeling.
Xie Peizhou clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Wen Ci, it's easy for you to be deceived like this. Send me your boyfriend's information and make an appointment in the next few days. I want to meet him."
Wen Ci's heart skipped a beat.
Meet? !
The "boyfriends" she showed Xie Peizhou that night were all male actors she had worked with in her scripts. How did she arrange the meeting?
Sure enough, once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with hundreds or even thousands of lies.
Wen Ci said guiltily, "Uncle, my boyfriend is very busy at work and doesn't have time to come to China."
Xie Peizhou was determined to meet the man who could make Wen Ci say "You are my dearest baby" in such a sickeningly sweet tone. He said coldly, "I don't have time. Okay, you make an appointment with him in Washington, and I'll fly over to meet him this weekend."
Wen Ci's heartbeat became even more chaotic. Under the gaze of Xie Peizhou's deep and cold black eyes, cold sweat broke out on her back. "Uncle, he is too busy and has no time to entertain--"
"Wenci."
Xie Peizhou felt more and more upset, and said unhappily: "You are just in love. You always help him, understand his difficulties, and love him wholeheartedly. But does he love you?"
Wen Ci: "Of course he loves me."
Xie Peizhou snorted coldly, "Love you? You haven't been back to China for five years, and now you suddenly come back, and he can't put down his work to accompany you? You've been dating for so long, and has this man ever politely greeted your elders? I asked him to come see me, but you said he didn't have time. Then I flew to Washington to see him myself, and he couldn't even spare a meal for you?"
Xie Peizhou took a step closer to Wen Ci with heartache. What was there to love about a man who could only say "I Love you" verbally?
Wen Ci felt a huge shadow pressing down on her head, as if her lies were about to be exposed by Xie Peizhou.
She was in a state of confusion. She looked up at the man's cold black eyes and blurted out, "But you are not my real elder! After all, we are not related by blood. My parents are dead. Who can he go to see?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air became tense.
The topic touched upon their taboo areas.
The only sound in the air was breathing.
After an unknown amount of silence, Wen Ci took a breath and avoided his gaze, "I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't mean that."
"I never mentioned you to him during our relationship, so he didn't know you existed. I know your true intention was to care for me. My father asked you to take care of me until I reached adulthood before he died. I'm 23 years old this year, and you successfully fulfilled my father's wish five years ago. You can follow your heart now."
"The investor is still in the box. I'm going back first."
Wen Ci didn't dare to look at Xie Peizhou's expression and walked past him quickly.
A few minutes later, Xie Peizhou returned to the box with a faint smell of cigarettes, and the social event ended quickly.
Wen Ci sent everyone into the car one by one.
Shen Xu was the last to leave.
Wen Ci greeted with a smile, "Uncle Shen, be careful on the road."
After Chen Shuo's car drove away, Xie Peizhou looked at Wen Ci's thin back with complicated eyes and spoke first: "I'll take you home."
Wen Ci's back stiffened.
Xie Peizhou actually took the initiative to talk to her.
In the past, whenever they had a fight, she was the one who took the initiative to admit her mistakes.
Once, because of Song Wanqing's incident, she felt very wronged and refused to admit her mistake.
They were in a cold war for 20 days.
Xie Peizhou also asked her to apologize to Song Wanqing.
At this time, there were many taxis on the roadside that were short of passengers. Wen Ci waved her hand and a taxi stopped in front of her.
Wen Ci opened the back door and said to Xie Peizhou as she bent down to get in, "Don't bother my uncle. I'll take a taxi back."
After closing the car door, Wen Ci reported the address of the community.
The driver enters the destination and the fare is calculated by the meter.
After passing two traffic lights, the driver frowned and said, "Little sister, there's a car following you. Did you offend someone? I'll speed up and help you get rid of it later."
Wen Ci was in a daze, and looked back after hearing this.
Through the rear window of the taxi, Wen Ci saw at a glance that Xie Peizhou's car was in the left lane. The man had a cold face and was following behind the taxi.
Wen Ci: "It's okay, he's my uncle. I had a conflict with him and I won't let him take me home. If he wants to come, then he can follow me."
"Oh, I see."
The driver breathed a sigh of relief, gradually loosened his foot on the accelerator, and the car speed returned to a stable level.
He smiled and said, "Men have sharp tongues but soft hearts. They rarely say things like 'I love you' or 'I care about you,' but their actions still show that they care about you. Don't be angry, little sister."
Wen Ci heard the driver's comfort and smiled.
Xie Peizhou loves her?
How is that possible?
Half an hour later, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the community.
Wen Ci paid the money, got off the car and went straight into the community.
When the taxi started again, a black Maybach slowly stopped by the roadside.
Xie Peizhou took out a cigarette box from the secret compartment, and looked at Wen Ci's back as she entered the community with complicated eyes.
-
A supermodel show in Washington.
Xie Yiyi had just come down from the T stage when her assistant brought her a phone. "Sister Yi, there's a call."
"who?"
Xie Yiyi took a sip of water, took the phone, saw the word "uncle" jumping, and raised his eyebrows.
Her uncle called her at this time?
"Hey, dear uncle, are you missing your baby Yiyi?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for nearly half a minute before Xie Peizhou's hoarse voice came, "Send me the information of Wen Ci's boyfriend, the more detailed the better."
"Little Porcelain's boyfriend?!"
"Don't you know Wen Ci has a boyfriend?!"
"ah?"
Xie Yiyi's eyelids twitched. Her best friend didn't even review the script with her for this part.
Xie Yiyi felt extremely guilty, "Yeah, I know, she has a boyfriend. But, uncle, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to ask me for her boyfriend's information?"
Xie Yiyi has been sticking to Xie Peizhou since she was young.
So once someone felt guilty and told a lie, Xie Peizhou could detect it just by listening to the sound.
Inside the car, Xie Peizhou's breathing suddenly tightened, and he realized something was wrong.
The man held his phone and said calmly, "Xie Yiyi, you don't know that Wen Ci has a boyfriend, right?"
"No, I know!"
"You really know?"
"real!"
"Then tell me now, how old is Wen Ci's boyfriend, what breed is he, what is his occupation, and what color his eyes are! Don't pause, tell me now!"
On the other end of the phone, Xie Yiyi originally wanted to make up a story to get away with it, but faced with Xie Peizhou's verbal bombardment, her mind went blank.
"Um, hello? Uncle, my signal is bad. I'll call you back when the signal is better...beep beep beep—"
-
Inside the apartment.
The first thing Wen Ci did when she got home was to remove her makeup and take a shower.
Then he changed into comfortable pajamas, put on black square-framed glasses and started working in front of the computer.
Now that the investment is settled, the next step is to set up a group and prepare the preliminary team.
After finishing a small section, she rubbed her sore neck and realized that it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Wen Ci was so scared that she immediately turned off the computer, washed her face and lay down on the bed.
She cannot stay up late and die suddenly. She wants to live a long life and make a lot of money to accompany her daughter for a happy life.
Before going to bed, Wen Ci is used to listening to movie commentary.
She picked up her phone and found a text message from an unfamiliar number.
188****7758: [You're right, we're not related by blood, and I'm not your elder in the true sense.]
