Chapter 98



As the movie started playing, the people who were whispering in the audience stopped talking and stared at the screen, all of them curious about what kind of sparks would be created by the collaboration between the genius director and the new traffic.

Xia Ningmi seldom watches movies. She does things with a purpose. Most of the artists under her are TV actors. When she first took charge of Qianying Entertainment, she only studied the TV drama market. The movie market was too complicated. In addition, Mr. Xia already had a share of the cinema chain, so Xia Ningmi had no plans to intervene in the movie market.

Although she had never studied movies, she still had a sense of aesthetics. As the plot progressed, she could feel that this was a good movie.

Xia Ningmi's gaze fell on Du Yuanzhe. From where she was sitting, she could only see Du Yuanzhe's profile illuminated by the light of the screen. His expression softened slightly.

After more than two hours, the movie ended and the audience burst into warm applause.

The host then came on stage and began to invite the creative team to the stage according to the procedure, asking them to talk about interesting things that happened during the filming of the movie and introduce the movie.

Zhao Zhimeng said: "My younger brother acted so well that I forgot he was still Yuanzhe when I watched the movie just now."

Chen Rongshan said proudly: "Yuanzhe has always been excellent, he just doesn't like to stand out, but as long as he wants to do something, there is nothing he can't do."

As she said this, Chen Rongsan glanced at Xia Ningmi from time to time, but Xia Ningmi was looking at Du Yuanzhe on the stage and did not notice her.

Du Yuanwen said with a smile: "You haven't seen Yuanzhe during filming. I know he's pretty good from his seriousness."

Chen Rongshan immediately perked up: "Yuanzhe has filmed so many dramas, and I haven't visited him on set yet. I will definitely go and see him next time he joins the crew."

Zhao Zhimeng: "I'm curious too. I'll go with my mom then."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Ningmi and asked, "Do you want to join us, President Xia?"

Xia Ningmi retracted her gaze from Du Yuanzhe and said, "No need."

Their relationship has not been made public yet, so she cannot visit the set yet. Otherwise, the public opinion that was previously characterized as rumor by fans will arise again, causing unnecessary trouble for Du Yuanzhe.

Chen Rongshan frowned: "You don't care about Yuanzhe's life on the set?"

Xia Ningmi said calmly: "I can ask him. I don't have to go to the crew to find out."

Chen Rongsan was very dissatisfied and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Zhao Zhimeng.

Zhao Zhimeng said: "I was negligent. President Xia and Yuanzhe haven't made their plans public yet, so I can't visit them publicly."

Chen Rongshan immediately swallowed the words in her throat.

Xia Ning glanced at Zhao Zhimeng. She had heard Du Yuanzhe say before that Zhao Zhimeng had a high emotional intelligence. When she saw him today, she found that it was indeed the case. This man not only had a high emotional intelligence, but was also very smart. Du Yuanwen always praised his wife as his right-hand man, and it was not an exaggeration.

Zhao Zhimeng continued, "The resort that we previously cooperated with Jiang's has already started operating. If President Xia is free, you can go there with Yuanzhe."

Xia Ning nodded: "Wait until he is free."

Xia Ningmi has recently resumed her regular routine, but Du Yuanzhe is very busy and can only sleep for a few hours all day. Any free time he has is used to catch up on sleep, so there is no time for play for the time being.

Du Yuanwen said: "Please give me more suggestions when the time comes, Mr. Xia."

Zhao Zhimeng rolled his eyes at him and said, "President Xia and Yuanzhe are going there for fun, not for inspection. Don't think everyone is Jiang Chelin."

When the resort first opened, Jiang Chelin went there with a few friends. After returning, he called Du Yuanwen and gave him some suggestions.

Du Yuanwen smiled: "Jiang Chelin didn't go there specifically to inspect. Smart people like them can tell whether a place is good or not just by taking a look. I just thought that we are all family, so I should be more casual when talking."

Chen Rongshan was not happy to hear this. She wanted to refute but didn't say it out loud.

Forget it, let's talk about this when we get home. No matter how much she dislikes Xia Ningmi, she can't beat her in front of her.

Zhao Zhimeng said, "A family member can't give you advice for nothing."

Du Yuanwen understood immediately and took out two cards and said, "This is the resort's VIP card. I wanted Yuanzhe to bring it to President Xia, but he was too busy and I never had the chance to meet him."

Xia Ningmi did not refuse and took it over and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Du."

Zhao Zhimeng smiled and said, "Yuanzhe already has a share of the resort, so Mr. Xia, don't be too polite."

Seeing them chatting, Du Yongliang couldn't stand being invisible, so he asked, "Does President Xia know how to fish?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone else fell silent.

Chen Rongsan looked at him with disdain. If she had thought about it more, she would not have asked such a question. Nowadays, there are no young people who like fishing.

But to everyone's surprise, Xia Ningmi nodded.

"I've gone fishing with my grandfather before. Fishing helps to improve one's health and character. I would go if I wasn't busy before."

Before being with Du Yuanzhe, fishing was a rare leisure activity for Xia Ning.

Du Yongliang was very happy to hear this and said, "I have always said this, but unfortunately the two brats at home are not the kind of people who can keep their temper."

Du Yuanwen touched his nose, feeling helpless. He was extremely busy every day, and whenever he had a little free time he had to spend time with his wife and children. How could he have the time to go fishing?

Xia Ningmi said: "Being too calm may not be a good thing."

Du Yongliang was stunned. He was planning to exchange fishing experiences with Xia Ningmi, but he didn't know how to respond to this.

Zhao Zhimeng sighed inwardly and said with a smile, "I think so too. Yuanzhe is our happy fruit. If he becomes boring, we will lose a lot of fun."

Chen Rongshan agreed with this and said, "That's right. Fortunately, the two children are not like you. I don't want to have three taciturn old men at home."

Du Yongliang wanted to refute, but when he thought about how Xia Ningmi was still there, it would be somewhat embarrassing to argue with Chen Rongshan, so he frowned and stopped talking.

Chen Rongshan always knew how to treat Du Yongliang.

When Xia Ningmi saw the expressions of the two people, Du Yuanzhe's evaluation of the old couple Du Yongliang echoed in her mind - every thing can conquer every thing.

This assessment is quite accurate.

Du Yuanzhe on the stage would look down at the audience from time to time, and seeing that the atmosphere was quite harmonious, he felt relieved.

......

After the premiere, Du Yuanzhe said goodbye to everyone and left the cinema with the Du family. After walking to the parking lot, he saw Xia Ningmi had not left yet, so he knew she was waiting for him.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Mom, Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, thank you for coming to support my movie today."

Du Yuanwen said unhappily, "Why thank you? We are all family."

Chen Rongshan said, "Yuanzhe performed very well. When you get home, ask Sister Wang and the others to cook more of your favorite dishes to reward you."

Du Yuanzhe's face tensed up, and he pretended to be regretful and said, "Mom, I'm really fed up with what you said. It's a pity that I already made an appointment with Qiqi to go out for dinner."

The smile on Chen Rongshan's face suddenly disappeared, and her expression became a little ugly.

Her worries turned out to be correct; Du Yuanzhe would become increasingly distant from them.

Zhao Zhimeng sensed the strange atmosphere and said with a smile, "Oh, there's nothing difficult about this. We can just eat together."

There is no need to separate when eating.

Du Yuanzhe also felt that it was not a good idea to abandon them at this time, after all, they came to support him.

"That's what my sister-in-law said. I'll go discuss with Qiqi where to eat, and we can go together."

Chen Rongshan's expression softened a little after hearing this.

Du Yuanzhe decided on the spot to go out for dinner together without discussing it with Xia Ningmi first, which made Chen Rongsan feel somewhat relieved.

Originally, everyone is together now, and it is convenient for them to go out to eat together. If Du Yuanzhe can't even make a decision on such a matter, Chen Rongsan really can't accept such a ** person as her daughter-in-law.

Chen Rongshan apparently did not realize that the dominant position she had always desired had been lost at this moment.

After making an appointment to have dinner together, Du Yuanzhe got into Xia Ningmi's car and told her about the dinner.

Of course Xia Ningmi didn't object. She didn't mind having dinner with the Du family. They didn't spend much time together anyway. She asked, "Where do you want to eat?"

Du Yuanzhe shook his head and asked Cheng Yu, who was driving, "Assistant Cheng, do you have any good places to recommend?"

Cheng Yu said: "Recently, a Western restaurant was rated as Michelin three stars, and many customers who went there gave it very good reviews."

"Then go there."

Du Yuanzhe asked Cheng Yu to send the address to him, and he sent it to Du Yuanwen and the others.

After sending the message and putting away his phone, Du Yuanzhe held Xia Ningmi's hand and asked, "Is the movie good?"

Xia Ning said: "You acted very well."

"Qiqi, you are not answering the question."

"If you act well, the movie will be good."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I just like hearing Qiqi praise me."

While they were on their way to the western restaurant, the premiere of "Upon the Water" had already become a hot topic.

The hottest topic was of course the appearance of two entertainment giants, Xia Ningmi and Jiang Chelin, at the premiere.

As everyone knows, Jiang Chelin has never participated in any entertainment industry activities. The same is true for Xia Ningmi, who only participated in the Spring Flower Awards ceremony this year.

But today both of them came to the premiere of "Surface".

Could it be that Xu Cheng has a lot of face?

Obviously, even Xu Cheng's fans don't believe this speculation.

Or are the two big guys going to join forces to enter the film industry?

The two companies are just one step away from a real fight, so how could they possibly cooperate?

After guessing for a long time but still failing to come up with the answer, the netizens simply gave up and started happily reading gossip and supporting each other.

So, Du Yuanzhe, who was still chatting with Xia Ningmi, received a call from Xiaopang.

Xiaopang said excitedly, "Brother Zhe, our Ningyuan Super Topic is very lively today. Everyone guessed that President Xia went to the premiere because of you. Hahaha, everyone is so smart."

Du Yuanzhe's mouth twitched: "They are not smart, they just have a brain."

He remembered that there was a popular saying in the couple circle - being in the same frame means showing affection, and looking into each other's eyes means going to bed.

Regardless of whether they are really related or not, in the eyes of CP fans, as long as the CP they support appears in the same frame, if it is not an official event, it must be that one of them deliberately created the opportunity for them to meet.

小胖道:“超話粉絲又開始上漲了,哲哥,雖然現在大衆并不相信你們在一起,但磕你們的粉絲越來越多,超話粉絲每天都在上漲,某個視頻網站上關于你們的剪輯很多都過了百萬播放量,你和夏總可是衆望所歸。”

杜元哲握緊夏凝覓的手,笑道:“怎麽,想要催婚嗎?”

小胖眼睛一亮:“可以嗎?”

杜元哲笑眯眯道:“當然可以,反正聽不聽在我。”

他跟夏凝覓求婚的事誰也沒說,但訂婚戒指就在夏凝覓手上明晃晃帶着,誰會猜到就不好說了。

杜元哲不可能隐婚,因為氣運掠奪系統的存在,他們暫時還不能官宣,但他想給夏凝覓一個盛大的婚禮,那時候他們必然已經公開,不需要考慮隐瞞的問題。

小胖眼中的光芒瞬間黯淡下去。

逗完小胖,杜元哲挂了電話,打開微博查看熱搜,然後看到熱搜第一就笑了。

“還真是戲劇化啊,他們在一起的時候一條熱搜沒上過,現在分手了反而上了熱搜,還爬到了第一位。”

夏凝覓靠在他身邊看向手機,一眼就看到了那條顯眼的微博。

#蔣澈霖衛菱菱#

杜元哲點開熱搜,然後就看到狗仔拍的照片,其實并沒有什麽,就是兩人站在車旁邊說話的照片,并沒有任何接觸。

那為什麽會上熱搜呢?

只因為一張照片。

一張蔣澈霖看着衛菱菱的車開走的照片。

也不知道是狗仔角度找得好,還是氣氛烘托得不錯,這張照片裏的蔣澈霖莫名有些望妻石的感覺。

當然,最關鍵的還是這人是蔣澈霖。

誰不知道蔣澈霖是個傲到骨子裏的人,從來都是別人看着他的車尾,什麽時候輪到他看別人的車尾了。

何況這兩人還是霸道總裁和女明星的組合,于是各種猜測的小作文就出來了。

杜元哲笑道:“報應啊。”

兩人第一次上熱搜就是蔣澈霖疑似被抛棄的劇情。

杜元哲覺得營銷號的想象力還是不夠豐富,就該把“疑似”兩個字去掉。

夏凝覓見他笑得幸災樂禍,吩咐道:“程雨,讓公司發聲明,衛菱菱和蔣澈霖一點關系都沒有。”

杜元哲聽言笑得更歡了,抱着夏凝覓親了親:“七七,你太壞了。”

千影娛樂這堪稱光速的公關反應,幾乎會坐實蔣澈霖求而不得或者慘遭抛棄的猜測。

夏凝覓瞥他一眼:“我只是把你的心思說了出來。”

杜元哲剛才還真想添把火來着,可不是什麽時候都有機會把蔣澈霖當樂子。

“知我者,唯七七也。”

只可惜正巧這時候西餐廳到了,杜元哲暫時沒空看微博上的後續。

杜元哲才上了熱搜,現在不宜太高調,先讓程雨進去定了一間大包廂,一行人才前後腳進了包廂。

陳蓉珊看着杜元哲摘掉口罩和墨鏡,道:“和你出來吃頓飯可真麻煩。”

杜元哲笑笑沒接話:“爸媽想吃什麽盡管點,今天我請客。”

杜元聞道:“本來就該你請客。”

陳蓉珊道:“先讓他們把今天的主打菜上來再說。”

西餐廳基本上每天都會有菜品推薦,這其中就會有主廚的主打菜,主打菜都是主廚的拿手絕活,這家西餐廳剛評為米其林三星,主廚的廚藝肯定差不了。

今天的主打菜是小羊排,按照陳蓉珊的要求,餐廳給他們每個人上了一份小羊排。

杜元哲嘗了一口,心裏只有兩個字——好吃,別的話他也評價不出來。

他扭頭看向夏凝覓,夏凝覓沖他點點頭。

能讓夏凝覓滿意,看來是真的好吃。

杜元哲問道:“媽,怎麽樣?”

陳蓉珊感受着羊排和醬汁搭配在一起的美味口感,道:“不錯。”

杜元哲道:“那就讓他們按照推薦上菜吧。”

只有一份小羊排肯定不夠,而且今天是他請客,不可能這麽寒酸。

只有杜元聞沒動刀叉,他還得照顧右右,小孩子精力有限,躺在杜元聞快睡着了,這會兒正是關鍵的時候,杜元聞生怕多一點動靜把右右驚醒。

不過杜元聞可餓不着,趙之夢先幫他把羊排都切好,才處理自己那一份。

杜元聞低聲道:“謝謝老婆。”

趙之夢沖他笑笑。

杜元哲無意中瞥見很是牙酸,然後看了眼身邊的夏凝覓,頓時不羨慕了。

【哼,我也有老婆,雖然是未來的,但是都一樣】

夏凝覓手裏的動作一頓,便若無其事地繼續切羊排,眼中閃過一絲笑意。

陳蓉珊總覺得飯桌上的氣氛有些怪,幹咳一聲道:“元哲,你什麽時候回家住幾天?”

杜元哲道:“我正打算過兩天就回去呢,這麽長時間沒回家,我都想媽了。”

陳蓉珊滿意道:“你回家也能多陪媽說說話。”

杜元哲看了眼杜元聞懷裏的右右,問道:“右右是不是會說話了?”

趙之夢笑道:“他還不到八個月,一個月前才學會翻身,說話還早呢。”

“他平時乖不乖?”

“挺乖的,保姆都說他很好帶,就是有點懶,學會翻身一個月了,自己翻身的次數也沒幾次,總得我們逗他才願意翻一次。”

杜元哲道:“小時候懶點挺好的,讓人省心,等他大了再督促也不遲。”

趙之夢有些無奈:“你們真是親兄弟,說話都一模一樣。”

杜元哲和杜元聞對視一眼都笑了。

趙之夢看看夏凝覓,問道:“你和夏總想要兒子還是女兒?”

杜元哲有些措手不及,怎麽突然就把話題轉到他身上來了。

他早就決定不想要孩子,不過這種事不可能當着陳蓉珊老兩口的面說,正要搪塞過去,夏凝覓率先開口。

“女兒。”

趙之夢高興道:“女兒好啊,我當初就以為是女兒,高興得不得了,結果生出來個臭小子。”

杜元聞也道:“家裏那間嬰兒房正好給你們,省得浪費了。”

杜元哲看了看夏凝覓,眉頭微皺,只是現在場合不合适,他沒有說什麽。

杜元聞注意到他的表情,問道:“怎麽,你不喜歡女兒?”

一時間,所有人的目光都落在他身上,包括陳蓉珊老兩口。

杜元哲嚴重懷疑他要是敢否定,這群人就敢大義滅親。

他勉強扯扯嘴角:“當然喜歡,我只是覺得這種事誰都決定不了,現在說這些沒有意義。”

陳蓉珊很想說他掃興,但看了眼夏凝覓又把話咽了回去,心裏很是煩惱,她很想要小孫女,老大已經不想要孩子,她只能寄希望在小兒子身上。

可小兒子找的女朋友,她不喜歡。

這就陷入了死胡同,而且陳蓉珊漸漸感到力不從心,她的反對似乎一點用都沒有,家裏沒一個人支持她。

雖然除了杜永椋也沒人勸她,可杜元聞和趙之夢的态度都擺在這兒,很顯然并不排斥夏凝覓。

這就很憂傷了。

棒打鴛鴦做不了,仗勢欺人也做不到,甚至因為杜元哲太過依賴夏凝覓,他們這邊還有些理虧。

陳蓉珊重重嘆口氣,頓時沒了說話的心情。

......

一行人吃完飯,便各自上車分開了。

杜元哲道:“剛才大嫂只是随便問問,七七不回答也沒事的。”

夏凝覓不需要聽心聲也能猜透他的心思,淡淡道:“我沒說謊。”

杜元哲目光微沉,故作委屈道:“有我陪着你還不夠嗎,幹嘛非要多加一個人?”

夏凝覓靠在他懷裏,杜元哲習慣性抱緊她。

“家裏有皇位要繼承。”

杜元哲下意識想笑,他的七七也會玩梗了,但還是忍住了:“如果七七喜歡孩子,其實我們也可以領養一個。”

他一直覺得父母和孩子之間的感情是相處出來的,和血脈沒有關系。

夏凝覓無奈道:“你是不是把我想得太脆弱了,只是懷孕而已。”

“但這并不是必須要經歷的,實在想要孩子,我們可以領養啊。”

夏凝覓搖頭:“不一樣的。”

杜元哲問道:“為什麽不一樣?”

夏凝覓道:“元哲,不是所有人都和你一樣,我很吝啬的,除了你之外,我做不到對沒有血緣的人付出感情,如果沒有孕育孩子的這一過程,孩子對我來說就是可有可無的陌生人。”

夏凝覓對自己很了解,她是個很冷情的人,周沉朗和她是同父異母的姐弟,但他在夏凝覓心裏一點地位都沒有。

兩人都是在十幾年第一次見面,周沉朗就把夏凝覓當成親姐姐,天然對她有好感,但夏凝覓就一點不在意他。

包括對右右。

右右是杜元哲的親侄子,夏凝覓知道杜元哲很喜歡右右,哪怕做不到愛屋及烏,總應該受到一些杜元哲的影響才對,但夏凝覓對右右就是沒有一點疼愛的感覺。

杜元哲沉默了。

如果給不了孩子足夠的愛,那領養就是不負責任,杜元哲不可能這麽做。

夏凝覓繼續道:“我媽并不負責任,她沒有教會我如何當一個好媽媽,但元哲有你在,我覺得我能做好,我需要你來見證。”

The scars that Xia Yiyao brought to Xia Ningmi are difficult to erase, and it is hard to say that Xia Yiyao's influence was not involved in her desire to have a child.

Du Yuanzhe smiled bitterly: "Maybe I am too selfish. I thought that not letting you suffer was for your own good, but I am not qualified to make decisions for you..."

"No, you do."

Xia Ningmi's eyes were burning: "You can help me make any decision."

Du Yuanzhe hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck, and said in a muffled voice: "You always know how to say things that will make me happy."

Xia Ningmi looked at the furry head in front of her and smiled gently.

In fact, after saying so much, the biggest reason she wanted a child was just that she wanted a child who looked like Du Yuanzhe.

Her possessiveness made her very dissatisfied with not participating in Du Yuanzhe's growth process, so she could only make up for it in other ways.
