☆、Meet Nanjin again at forty
The morning session was temporarily over. Xia Anan basically spent the whole morning playing with her phone, occasionally looking up at Huo Cheng who was reviewing the script.
"Sister An'an, how was my performance this morning?" Huo Cheng looked at Xia An'an as if asking for praise, but the latter silently turned his face away: "Not bad."
After looking at today's schedule, he glanced at Huo Cheng and said, "I want to go somewhere later. Is it okay for you to go by yourself for the afternoon shoot?"
"Where are you going?" Huo Cheng naturally couldn't let Xia Anan be alone. There was not only Nan Jinnian in Yuncheng, but also the Xia family.
"Don't worry, I'll go see the two elders and come back to you soon." Xia Anan said.
"But..." Huo Cheng still wanted to stop it, but seeing that Xia Anan had made up her mind, he couldn't think of any reason to stop her: "How about filming it and pushing it, I'll go with you..."
"The afternoon shoot is very important. Don't worry, I will come back to the company to find you soon." Xia Anan knew Huo Cheng's concerns, but she hadn't been back for two years... If she had died at the time, it would be fine, but since she survived, she might as well go and see him...
However, just when the two were about to leave, Xia Bin suddenly appeared and swaggered around the waist of the second female lead. Xia Anan was a little surprised when she saw Xia Bin, and then frowned. It had been rumored that the second female lead Qian Na was hooking up with a rich man, but she didn't expect that the rich man was Xia Bin.
Xia Bin sneered in his heart after seeing Xia Anan, and then pretended to be surprised: "Old...sister!"
Seeing Xia Bin, Huo Cheng subconsciously protected Xia Anan behind him. Xia Anan looked at Huo Cheng's actions with gratitude in her heart, but she still walked out from behind Huo Cheng: "Long time no see."
"You... you're still alive!" Xia Bin let go of the waist of the second female lead beside him and rushed to Xia Anan. He looked like a brother whose sister had been missing for many years and suddenly appeared in front of him, looking surprised, excited, and concerned.
Xia Anan had seen this kind of behavior from her brother before, so she didn't expose him: "Is father okay?"
"An'an..." Huo Cheng wanted to remind Xia An'an of something, but after seeing Xia An'an's eyes, he continued to stand aside, but his eyes were always fixed on Xia Bin in front of him. As long as Xia Bin made any other moves, he would never let him go!
"Father...Father has aged a lot since you left, sister! Come home with me...Father misses you very much!" Xia Bin's acting skills are really good. Even Huo Cheng, who just won the title of Best Actor, couldn't help but sigh that it would be a waste of talent if he didn't act with such acting skills.
But this look was particularly funny in Xia Anan's eyes, and she even wanted to laugh.
I only heard Xia Anan say: "Xia Bin, I severed ties with the Xia family seven years ago..."
"Sister..." Xia Bin was 'dejected' for a moment and then said, "Father no longer cares about me. He just wants you to go back."
Qian Na, who was standing by, was a little surprised to hear this. She had followed Xia Bin for a year and had never heard that he had a sister. She also knew a little about Xia Bin's character, so she was surprised to see Xia Bin like this.
"I will take time to go back and see my father." Xia Anan said in a more serious tone, "Don't worry, I have no intention of running away now that I'm back."
Seeing Xia Anan's face suddenly turn cold, Xia Bin's concern seemed unnecessary.
"Isn't this Mr. Xia?" The sudden intrusive voice made Xia Bin and Xia Anan frown at the same time.
Nan Jinnian was wearing a black suit and walked straight towards them with a pair of long legs. The first thing he saw was Huo Cheng holding Xia Anan's hand.
Seeing this, his face darkened instantly, but he didn't get angry.
"Nan... President Nan." Xia Bin naturally knew that Nan Jinnian had been suppressing them, and not just Hua Teng, but also Lin Xin... These two major groups, one mainly engaged in catering, the other in cosmetics. Obviously, these two groups had nothing to do with each other, but they were working together to suppress their group, which was engaged in real estate...
No matter how you look at it, this seems like someone is looking for trouble!
"Since Xia Anan has severed ties with you, whether she wants to go back is her business. Besides, I don't think your Xia family deserves her return." Nan Jinnian, thinking of all the suffering Xia Anan endured in the Xia family, wanted to tear the Xia family father and son apart. Xia Bin hadn't expected Nan Jinnian to say that, and neither had Xia Anan. After all, she hadn't known Nan Jinnian knew everything about her. She had always assumed that Nan Jinnian might still resent her and hate her, feeling sorry for her simply because of that child and her suicide attempt by jumping into the sea.
Seeing this, Huo Cheng said, "Why is President Nan here?" He remembered that this man had begged to meet him this morning, and now he actually came on his own!
"Teacher Huo, we will discuss our affairs in detail later. Right now, Mr. Xia and I have some accounts to settle." Nan Jinnian narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't bring his father down for the time being, but he felt that he still had the confidence to suppress such a fool as his son to the point that he would doubt whether he was worthy of living in this world!
"Forget it." However, Xia Anan stood in front of Xia Bin.
"Mr. Nan, you are here to talk to us about something, right?" Xia Anan turned to look at Nan Jinnian, and Xia Bin behind her couldn't help but curl his lips. He was indeed the dog of their Xia family, and he would protect his master at the critical moment.
Xia Anan was not protecting Xia Bin, but was really afraid that something might happen to Xia Bin. After all, the Xia family was too powerful and influential. If this angered the Xia family and made Nan Jinnian a target of the Xia family, it would not be worth it.
Nan Jinnian frowned, looked at Xia Bin quietly and said, "Sister, I'll go first. Remember to come back when you have time." Xia Bin simply stopped pretending to be a good brother. He casually patted Xia Anan's shoulder and walked away holding Qian Na's waist.
When they got back to the car, Qian Na looked at Xia Bin's expression change and had to say that this man was really good at acting.
"Nana, you go back first. I have to go back to the company." Xia Bin said with a serious face.
Qian Na was quite happy to hear this. She could naturally see the superficial affection between Xia Bin and Huo Cheng's assistant, but she thought it would be better not to get involved.
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Xia Bin looked at the black car parked in the distance with a sullen face, then raised a disdainful smile: "Hua Teng Group... do you really think that our Xia family's strength is just this."
Back to Xia Anan, the three of them stood facing each other in a triangle. If Xia Anan didn't speak, Huo Cheng and Nan Jinnian had nothing to say.
"An'an, are you hungry? Let's go eat." Huo Cheng walked towards Xia An'an, took her hand and prepared to leave. Nan Jinnian narrowed his eyes when he saw this, then strode in between the two of them: "I'll treat you, and there are some things you need to know."
Looking at Nan Jinnian's actions, Xia Anan was a little dazed. When they were together, Nan Jinnian was particularly jealous. Whenever someone approached her, this man would squeeze into the middle to keep a distance from others.
"Mr. Nan, please stay away from my girlfriend." Huo Cheng didn't care about Nan Jinnian's background.
"I can tell if she's my girlfriend or not."
Nan Jinnian stood between Xia Anan and Huo Cheng. Because he was taller, he suddenly stood out among the three people.
Huo Cheng gritted his teeth in anger. This kind of man should have been beaten up last night!
The three of them came to the restaurant with their own thoughts. After finding a private room to sit down, Nan Jinnian specially ordered the food that Xia Anan used to like, but in Xia Anan's eyes, it seemed like he was trying to please her.
Although Nan Jinnian was indeed trying to please Xia Anan.
"Tell me, what do you want from us?"
Xia Anan was a little surprised. She was shaking all over when she saw him last night, but she was surprisingly calm when she saw him today.
After two years, Xia Anan also changed. She became more calm and composed than before, and more indifferent to others... or to him...
"I hope you will withdraw from the filming of "Moshang Academy". Of course, I will bear all the losses you suffer." Nan Jinnian said.
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and then at Nan Jinnian. Xia Anan asked, "Why?"
"This drama isn't as simple as you think." Nan Jinnian said after arranging the dishes neatly, "The real investor behind it is Xia Rui."
"Xia Rui?" Xia Anan was confused. Isn't it Nanyang Film and Television?
"How do you know?" Huo Cheng's face suddenly became serious.
"You don't need to know how I found out. You just need to know that it's best not to participate in this drama." Nan Jinnian looked at Huo Cheng, mainly Huo Cheng. If Huo Cheng took on this drama, then Xia Anan would naturally follow. If Huo Cheng gave up this drama, then Xia Anan would also give up.
Xia Anan leaned back in her chair and thought. It seemed that the Xia family was far more powerful than she had imagined.
She remembered that she often met many foreigners in the past. Could it be that the Xia family's influence spread across the world?
Speaking of which... when Brother Liu received this drama, he was very reluctant, but in the end he accepted it and designated Huo Cheng to play the role.
And she had to follow the whole process.
Among them...
"Thank you for your kindness, President Nan." Xia Anan said, "But this is not something we can decide." She is just an assistant, and Huo Cheng has a contract with the company, and there are some things he cannot decide.
"An An...if that doesn't work, I can..."
"It's okay. I want to see what the Xia family is going to do." Xia Anan tapped Huo Cheng with chopsticks: "Don't worry, I will handle it with Brother Liu if anything happens. Just focus on acting. Even if this is a bad drama, it's an opportunity to practice your acting skills."
In fact, the reason why Huo Cheng only took on two movies in the past two years when his career was on the rise and he was famous was because of her. Her condition was very bad at the time, and Ruby Lin could not accompany her all the time, so Huo Cheng accompanied her most of the time. But she could not leave anyone at that time, so Huo Cheng firmly turned down all the dramas, movies and even commercials at that time, and helped her out of it under the name of vacation.
Therefore, the company is already somewhat dissatisfied with Huo Cheng. If they unilaterally refuse to perform, it will probably not be good for Huo Cheng.
In fact, sometimes Xia Anan thought back to high school, if she had noticed this guy, would there be no Nan Jinnian? But she thought, she would still fall in love with Nan Jinnian... After all, Nan Jinnian was so dazzling back then that she fell in love with him to the point of madness.
Nan Jinnian looked at the two people smiling at each other, and his heart was filled with emotion.
