The crew was much more harmonious without Fu Yiqing, and the entire crew's work efficiency improved significantly.
Although Fu Yiqing is no longer in the production team, her gossip continues.
When the crew members had free time, they would inevitably talk about her, and Qin Yulong would also be discussed along with her.
Some people thought Wen Yan and Qin Yulong had a good relationship, and some even came over to ask Wen Yan if Qin Yulong's identity as the daughter of a shipping magnate was true...
Although Wen Yan also enjoys gossip, she felt that these people were being a bit too nosy, even asking her about it. She always answered that she didn't know.
While waiting for her scenes to be filmed, Wen Yan would also take out her phone to check.
She wanted to see if there were any messages in the family group chat, and if there was any progress in her parents' relationship with Qin Yulong.
However, the group remained quiet, with no activity whatsoever.
Wen Yan felt that this matter was somewhat affecting her state of mind, so she simply put her phone away.
She didn't take out her phone again until she finished work and returned to the hotel at night.
There was still no news from her parents, but Qin Yulong sent her a text message.
The time was a few hours ago.
Wen Yan did the math carefully, and it was roughly around the time she put down her phone. It really was a bad coincidence.
Qin Yulong wrote in the text message: 'Although you probably already know, I still want to tell you that I have already met with them.'
Wen Yan didn't see the message at all, so she didn't reply, and Qin Yulong didn't send a second message either.
However, it was only a little past 12 o'clock, so Wen Yan replied to her message on a whim.
"I was filming and didn't see the news. I just finished work. Are you asleep yet? If you're not, can we talk?"
Fortunately, Qin Yulong called just seconds after the message was sent.
Wen Yan immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hi, great, you're still awake. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"No. In fact, your news came at a very opportune time. My father and I had just seen off our guests."
"Guests? You're not talking about my parents, are you?"
"Yes, it's them."
"Um...can I ask how the conversation went? You know I'm really invested in this."
"Yes, that's why I sent you that message before. I originally thought you would come with them."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to go too, but my parents didn't plan to take me. After all, it's the first time the two families have met, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to just go like that."
"Well, it's actually better that you didn't come."
"What's wrong? Why are you saying that? Do you hate me?"
Qin Yulong chuckled: "No, on the contrary, I really like your honesty, like now, you just ask whatever questions you have. So I'm being frank with you too. I think we get along quite well. I admire you, I admire your frankness, your kindness, and your generosity."
"If someone else were in your position, they might reject me or see me as a threat. But you haven't. In fact, you've been trying your best to bring me and your parents together. So, I didn't want you to come. I was afraid you would act as a mediator between us, and I didn't want to disappoint you."
"Huh???" Wen Yan's tone immediately fell. "Hearing you say that, a strong sense of disappointment immediately washed over me! It seems your conversation didn't go well. I want to ask you, didn't your parents' appearance trigger any memories for you? You still can't remember anything about before you were 8 years old?"
"Yes, I don't remember anything. So I refused their offer to acknowledge me. I won't go back with them, and I won't change my name."
"Mom must be very sad, right?"
"It should be, but please forgive me. For so many years, I have always been Qin Yulong. I can't suddenly become Shen Zhirou. If my current family doesn't want me anymore and wants to take back the identity of Qin Yulong, then I might choose to give this name and identity back to them. But I am still an inseparable part of my family. My father respects my choice, and my choice is to continue being Qin Yulong."
“Actually, I can understand you very well, but Yulong, have you ever thought that you don’t necessarily have to be Shen Zhirou again? Just like I’ve always called you Yulong. It’s just a name, and it doesn’t prevent you from recognizing your biological parents. Besides, having more family members like us won’t do you any harm. Look, you yourself said that you like me quite a bit, and I like you too.”
“As expected,” Qin Yulong smiled, “I knew you would act as a mediator. See, I guessed it. I really think you’re a good person. I specifically mentioned you when I talked to them, and from their words, it’s clear they genuinely treat you like their own daughter. So I think having you is enough. Wen Yan, you can probably guess from my personality that I’m not a very emotional person, you could even say I’m somewhat detached. One family is enough for me; I don’t have the emotional capacity to deal with another family. After all, I’ve been away from the Shen family for so many years, and I’m afraid I can’t give my parents what they want. As a member of that family, I hope you can understand me.”
Qin Yulong spoke earnestly, and Wen Yan, being a very empathetic person, put herself in Qin Yulong's shoes and felt that what Qin Yulong said made a lot of sense.
"I understand. As a rather special member of the Shen family, I have no right to talk about forgiveness or not."
