Chapter 058
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from the instructor to the students fell silent.
Everything was fine at the dinner yesterday, and the photos of them shopping in the mall that were on the hot search were also fine, and they were even holding hands. The "anger" incident could only have happened later.
Arrived later...at least after ten o'clock, so why were they still together at that time?
Many CP fans also quickly realized this and began to rhythmically change the topic, blocking the cabinet door, and then ran to the super topic to secretly celebrate.
The mentors in the live broadcast returned to the TV station in a friendly manner, and just as Yan Xun said, "voluntary mutual selection", they completed the grouping for this episode.
The recording session of just over three hours gave everyone a roller coaster-like experience. Director Xu calmed down and quietly cancelled the next round of games, and directly let them draw lots to decide the script.
The content of the script has not yet been announced, but Director Xu revealed a little information: "This round of scripts are all adapted from popular science fiction online novels, and the scriptwriting work of each group is also handled by the original authors themselves. Thank you very much for your support for our program."
[Fuck the online article! The director team of the show has done so many good things! ]
[The show is an official variety show! What kind of official certification is this?]
[I wish for a wife like mine! It would be a dream come true if the acting configuration could be performed! 】
After the live broadcast ended, Yan Xun walked towards Xu Jingning after most of the others had left.
The two of them were silent for a while. Yan Xun half-knelt down and looked at the person on the sofa: "Are you angry?"
I don’t know if this question was asked last night or now.
Xu Jingning's lips moved slightly before he uttered a muffled sentence: "No."
Yan Xun smiled, seeming a little helpless.
"But someone has been wearing headphones since he got up in the morning and doesn't want to say a word to me."
And he changed his pillow on purpose out of spite during the live broadcast. Who would believe that he was not depressed?
The reason why the two dared to joke about the live broadcast grouping is actually because they didn't care whether they would be assigned to the same group.
Anyway, the two of them are living under the same roof now, and they were in the same group before, so most of the daytime time was spent rehearsing.
Yan Xun deliberately acted a little cautiously, and the cautiousness in his tone touched Xu Jingning, making the latter unable to keep a straight face anymore.
"You also know that I'm wearing headphones," Xu Jingning explained dryly, "I can't hear you calling me."
"Okay, I misunderstood." Yan Xun immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Then let's go home."
However, something unexpected happened on the way back. Yan Xun suddenly received a phone call. He didn't know what they talked about, but his originally relaxed state suddenly became tense.
"I'll ask the driver to take you back first. Sorry, I suddenly have to take care of some work."
Fortunately, they were still in the city center and the car was parked on the side of the road. Xu Jingning had no chance to refuse, so he pushed the door and left.
"Hey, Yan Xun!"
As he watched the people walk away, Xu Jingning became confused, and as he thought about it, he suddenly realized something.
Does Yan Xun have any work matters that he must deal with now?
He remembered that Yan Xun's company was not in Pingjiang at all, right?
However, the person has already left, so there is no way to ask.
"Mr. Xu, are we going back now?" The driver interrupted Xu Jingning's thoughts. He sighed and said, "No, please take me to Xingchuan."
It's boring to have no one at home, so you might as well go to the company cafeteria for a meal.
The driver responded and the car started again steadily.
Xu Jingning also leaned against the window and closed his eyes to rest. He fell asleep unknowingly. Not long after he woke up, someone suddenly knocked on the car window and he realized that they had arrived.
"Thank you for your hard work." I subconsciously thanked him and prepared to get out of the car, but I became alert when I saw a stranger extending his hand after the car door was opened.
The person in front of him was dressed like a waiter and behaved very properly: "Mr. Xu, I will take you in."
Xu Jingning then looked up and saw that the building in front was not Xingchuan at all, but a high-end restaurant with exquisite decoration.
And Yan Xun's driver was also missing.
He frowned. “I don’t remember making a reservation at your restaurant.”
"A lady invited you here." The waiter still kept smiling, "Mr. Xu, please come in."
Many possible candidates flashed through Xu Jingning's mind, but after eliminating them one by one, he couldn't think of anyone who would invite him to a place like this.
The only person who could possibly do such a thing is Ning Qingzhuo, and she is not a lady.
After weighing the pros and cons for a few seconds, Xu Jingning finally decided to go and take a look.
At worst, call the police...
The environment in the restaurant was very quiet. The air was infused with light fragrances. Unknown elegant tunes echoed in his ears, but when they touched Xu Jingning's nerves, they all translated into the same message: it was too expensive.
I don't think any kidnapper would spend so much money to kidnap a little actor...
With his heart in ups and downs, Xu Jingning was finally brought to the door of the box. After knocking on the door, he was allowed to enter and saw the lady who invited him.
What you see at first glance is the background. The woman is wearing a dark red cheongsam. It should have been an elegant style, but it was overshadowed by the irresistible aura around her.
That was a kind of aura that belonged specifically to those in a higher position.
It was very similar to the feeling when I first met Yan Xun.
"I've heard about this for a long time, and I finally get to meet you, Mr. Xu, come and sit down."
The woman turned her head with a smile, and when Xu Jingning saw the pair of narrow eyes, he recognized the person in front of him: "Ms. Song Han."
It's a bit magical that the successful person who I just glanced at in the newspaper last night was now specially invited out.
"Oh, what an honor. Mr. Xu actually knows me?" Song Han smiled, but for some reason it always made people feel uncomfortable. "Did Yan Xun tell you?"
When mentioning Yan Xun, his tone was slightly intimate, as if they had a very close relationship.
The other party's intention seemed to be ill-intentioned.
Xu Jingning subconsciously rejected it: "No, I just happened to read some financial news. It was a one-sided encounter."
Hearing this answer, Song Han raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised, but still expected: "Yes, Yan Xun probably doesn't want anyone to know about our relationship."
"Oh, it's so sad. I really wanted him to get better."
The surrounding environment was very comfortable, but Xu Jingning felt uncomfortable all over and felt that he couldn't stay here for even a second.
"Miss Song, just say what you want to say. I'm not used to beating around the bush with people."
Song Han's eyes showed some appreciation: "That's good, I also like people who are willing to speak frankly."
Then, she took out a gold-stamped black card and handed it to Xu Jingning: "I would like to ask Mr. Xu to help me complete something."
————
When I got home, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Jingning had been chatting with Song Han for a little too long, and as soon as he entered the room and saw someone sitting on the sofa with a serious face, he knew something bad was going to happen.
Sure enough, Yan Xun seemed to be staring at the door all the time, and even spoke much faster than usual: "Where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
"I went out for a meal..." Xu Jingning hesitated whether to tell the truth and had to reply ambiguously.
Yan Xun seemed to believe this answer, but he was relieved and brought it up again after a while: "Did any stranger come to see you?"
Xu Jingning played dumb: "What kind of stranger?"
"It could be an assistant, or it could be a woman." Yan Xun's expression suddenly turned bad. "She looks like a very powerful woman."
"Ning Ning... This is very important to me, don't hide it from me, okay?"
Perhaps because they had known each other for long enough, Xu Jingning could hear the rare sincerity of Yan Xun in these words that could be regarded as a plea.
He sighed, but he couldn't bear to leave after all: "Well, I met Song Han."
Hearing this, Yan Xun clenched his hands tightly.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Xu Jingning seemed to see a hint of dejection on his face.
Suddenly... I feel a little shaken. Is my choice really the right one?
The living room fell into silence. Xu Jingning had no intention of exposing Yan Xun's scars and wanted to find an excuse to leave, but someone grabbed her hand before she could move.
"Would you like to chat sometime?" The other party seemed to have recovered and his tone was much calmer. "As long as... you don't laugh at me."
Xu Jingning sat beside him obediently.
After giving Yan Xun enough time to organize himself, he finally spoke: "Song Han is my sister."
"You may not believe it, but she is my biological sister from the same father and mother." Yan Xun sneered, "She raised me single-handedly, and wanted me to succeed, but she was afraid that I would be too capable, so she had to see me enter the entertainment industry thoroughly before she would stop."
"Among my friends in the circle, only Zhang Siyan and Fang Shu know my background. You may not know it, but you should have heard of the reputation of Jinhua Song's family."
Xu Jingning immediately responded: "The Song family that started out as a silk company?"
He was not very clear about it at first, but because many domestic clothing brands now use this company's fabrics, its popularity is indeed very wide among the people.
"Yes, but under my sister's leadership, the Song family is no longer just a business that will be passed down from generation to generation. It has expanded into so many other areas that I can't even count them all now."
"Twenty years ago, my father had many illegitimate children, and the only legitimate children were my sister who had just reached adulthood and me, who was not yet in elementary school. Our mother died early, and in order to become the next generation in power, she used me to pressure my father. On the one hand, she wanted me to surpass other peers, but on the other hand, she was afraid that I would be too powerful and she would not be able to control me."
Yan Xun explained: "Her original name was Song Han, the Han in Handan. From the moment she was born, she was destined to be the perfect tool for marriage. Later, when she became an adult, she changed her name herself."
She wanted everything to be under her control and to swallow up all the power in one gulp.
Seeing that Yan Xun was too emotional, Xu Jingning pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Is Yan Xun your stage name?"
"No, I took my mother's last name because my birth caused my mother to suffer from a disease. She died within two years, and Song Han asked me to take her last name." Yan Xun wanted to make it sound lighter, but he couldn't hide the bitterness in his words. "As the eldest daughter, as long as she doesn't challenge authority, she will receive all the acceptable love. She is indeed good at disguising herself. Our father didn't know that everything was done by her in secret until he died."
Xu Jingning felt guilty instantly.
It’s better not to open your mouth.
He reached out his hand and patted Yan Xun's head: "So do you...hate her?"
Yan Xun's eyes moved slightly.
"I used to complain. When I was a kid, I practiced my acting skills and studied intensively every day. At the age of 17, I had learned all the knowledge of university business administration, but Song Han did not allow me to skip a grade. I had to follow her plan step by step."
"But... I really do like acting, and I rebelled in my senior year of high school and took the art exam. She was mad at me on the surface, but secretly she was relieved."
Xu Jingning suddenly understood where Yan Xun's inexplicable obsession with acting came from.
It was a habit ingrained in him since childhood, and it was the only way for him to escape reality when he was still under family control.
On the one hand, Song Han forced him to excel and told everyone that his younger brother was the most qualified heir. On the other hand, she ruthlessly forced him to enter the entertainment industry. After defeating other opponents, she said, "Look, it was Yan Xun himself who didn't want to do it, so she, the sister, had to be the one in power."
Xu Jingning could draw inferences from one example: "So you can't find any background in the entertainment industry, is it because Song Han wants to cut off all your resources and make you start from scratch?"
Yan Xun nodded: "That's right."
"But I don't care about these things at all. Even if I tell her a hundred times that I am not interested in those powers, she can't help but be on guard against me." Yan Xun finished mocking and began to ask about what happened today: "So she found you and what did she say to you? Did she pretend to care about me?"
Yan Xun smiled: "Or am I mentally ill and emotionally unstable, and I hope you can stay by my side as a partner and help me adjust my mental state?"
Xu Jingning: “…”
I guessed it was 100% correct.
But the term used by Song Han is more implicit and does not explicitly refer to a "partner" relationship.
"That's right... As long as I don't have any children, she will have no more worries." Yan Xun covered his face and sneered, "Then let's do as she wishes."
