Social Death Patient 068
While waiting, Liang Hui had already thought of the rhetoric to follow.
I can't ask directly, I have to be roundabout and pretend I know nothing.
"You look familiar to me just now. You look a lot like an old friend of mine. I'm sorry to ask, is your mother's name Bai Shuang?"
Liang Hui noticed Bai Jiesui's subtle expression only after he asked. Thinking that he might not look like a good person now, he explained again.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. My name is Liang Hui. Bai Shuang and I used to be partners in the same crew. We had a pretty good relationship, but she returned to her hometown without any warning 20 years ago. I haven't been able to contact her or hear from her in all these years. I've always been worried about her, and seeing you suddenly reminded me of her. If you don't know Bai Shuang, I'm sorry to bother you."
Then Liang Hui saw that the girl in front of him was not so nervous anymore and smiled calmly.
"I know you. I've watched the movie you two made together since I was a kid. I've seen it many times. You acted really well in it."
Liang Hui understood, and she admitted it.
He exclaimed in surprise and surprise, "I never thought that one day I would hear news about Bai Shuang here."
Liang Huiyou very naturally asked Bai Jiesui about Bai Shuang's news, and once again expressed his regret for Bai Shuang's accidental death.
After the basic greetings, Liang Hui began to show his true colors.
He looked at Bai Jiesui and said with emotion, "I didn't even know when Bai Shuang started dating, and she didn't even inform us old friends. She just lived her life in silence. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so big, and I still don't know how old you are or when you were born."
Bai Jiesui was not on guard against him and casually told him his date of birth.
When Liang Hui heard the date, he calculated back and realized that it was exactly seven months after Bai Shuang left.
He remembered the day very clearly. At that time he was also helping to find Bai Shuang, so it was very memorable.
He felt that this matter was more certain and could be 100% certain.
He suppressed his inner excitement, trying not to show it, and said happily, "Your birthday is in a few months, and I must let your uncle arrange something for you then."
Bai Jiesui was flattered and quickly waved his hand, saying it was not necessary.
Liang Hui: "What's the trouble? You are Bai Shuang's child, which means you are my niece. It is fate that we meet today. Don't say anything. We must get together for this meal."
He thought that he might not need to make any arrangements at that time, as someone else would be eager to do so. Anyway, he had to eat this meal.
Afterwards, Liang Hui began to inquire about her family situation intentionally or unintentionally, and then he discovered something strange.
Bai Jie Sui only talked about her mother who died young from beginning to end, and the person she talked about most was the traditional Chinese medicine master who raised her. The role of her father never appeared.
Liang Hui reasonably speculated that Bai Shuang had never been married and was a surrogate mother.
Thinking of this, Liang Hui became extremely excited.
But there is a new problem. According to Yan Yushan, Bai Jiesui contacted her biological father, but the other party was unwilling to recognize her, which contradicts his speculation.
If all his assumptions are true, the most likely possibility is that Bai Jiesui got the wrong information and found the wrong person.
Liang Hui would not jump to conclusions so quickly, he needed to continue to inquire.
"Why didn't your father raise you after Bai Shuang left? Why did you follow your Chinese medicine master?"
"At the time, we lived next door to my master. My mother would send him some of her homemade food and often went to his clinic to get medicine. She would also ask him to look after me when she needed help. Before she had the accident that day, she had also left me at his clinic. After she passed away, my master felt that I had no one to rely on, so he took me in. As for your question about my father, I don't know his situation at the time, but he was probably busy with his own affairs and couldn't take care of me."
Liang Hui disagreed: "This is not a question of whether he can take care of you or not. It is his obligation to raise you. Abandoning your own child at will is illegal. Didn't your master help you contact him?"
Bai Jiesui didn't know whether her mother had told her master about her life story.
When we were young, we were all curious about our own life experience, especially when we saw other children of the same age had their own parents. She would also ask Old Man Zhou why he only told her about his mother and never told her about his father.
Old Man Zhou would tell her that he didn't know who her father was or where he was.
It is possible that her master really does not know her background, because the subsequent contact with Yan Yushan was done by the system and has nothing to do with Old Man Zhou himself.
It is also possible that her master knew who her father was and had contacted him before, but got a bad result. In order to avoid hurting the young girl, he deliberately concealed the truth.
Anyway, no matter what the truth is, the result is the same, and she is glad that she was raised by her master.
"I've had a fulfilling life growing up with this master, and I've learned a lot of valuable Chinese medicine knowledge. If I were really taken away by the so-called father, his girlfriend wouldn't tolerate me. My presence would only be an eyesore to them, and I'd probably end up being thrown to his parents."
Liang Hui was confused. All the previous details matched, so how could a girlfriend suddenly appear?
"Your biological father had a girlfriend at the time? So he's married to another woman now?"
"They haven't gotten married yet, but they've been talking until now, and their relationship is very stable."
"He neglected his own children after having a new love. How could this man say such irresponsible words? Doesn't he have any shame when facing you?"
Bai Jiesui thought of the frightened looks of Hua Xin and her daughter, who were always worried about her meeting Yan Yushan, and couldn't help but find it funny.
"His girlfriend was afraid he'd know about my existence, so she didn't tell him. She came out to see me without his knowledge and even gave me some money to get rid of me."
Liang Hui could see that she was not lying, and every word she said was the truth she knew.
If it weren't for the evidence of Bai Jiesui's face in front of him, Liang Hui would have wavered in his inference after hearing this.
But as Yan Yushan's good brother for many years, he knew very well that Yan Yushan had always been single and had never had another girlfriend.
Where did this girlfriend come from?
Liang Hui tried to get the girlfriend's name from Bai Jiesui indirectly, but Bai Jiesui seemed unwilling to say more and never revealed the name.
He had no choice but to find another way and start making up half-true and half-false stories.
"What a pity! If Bai Shuang had been with my brother, she wouldn't have met that scumbag."
Bai Jiesui tilted her head slightly, obviously interested in this topic.
"My brother has been in love with Bai Shuang for a long time, but he just couldn't catch up with her. At that time, he was already the most popular and famous actor in the entertainment industry. No one could match his popularity. There were countless people in the circle who wanted to show their affection to him. However, no matter how beautiful the people were, he never even glanced at them. He only had feelings for Bai Shuang."
Bai Jiesui stared at Liang Hui curiously, and Liang Hui could tell from her eyes that she wanted to know who it was.
"You may not believe this," Liang Hui looked around and said mysteriously, "My brother is the famous triple-Award winner, Yan Yushan."
Liang Hui observed her expression carefully and saw her astonishment and surprise as expected.
He continued, striking while the iron was hot, "He reached the pinnacle of his career the moment he debuted, admired and adored by everyone. In the eyes of countless people, he was an unclimbable mountain, one that would never bow its head. But you could never imagine that in order to attend Bai Shuang's premiere, he spent three days with the crew and the director, finally managed to get half a day off, flew over two thousand miles overnight, fully clothed, and quietly stood in the back row of the stuffy theater for over three hours, not daring to show his face for fear of being discovered, nor to tell Bai Shuang for fear of putting pressure on her. Finally, he quietly flew back to the crew and continued filming non-stop."
Bai Jiesui didn't say anything. She had already noticed Liang Hui's current deliberate behavior.
Yan Yushan had admitted to her long before that he was her mother's ex-boyfriend, but now Liang Hui said that he did not catch up with her.
It is obvious that Liang Hui said this on purpose.
Moreover, he unexpectedly turned the topic to Yan Yushan. It didn't seem like he had just met her by chance and the content of the conversation with her, including the previous topic, seemed more like it was carefully prepared.
She smiled and didn't respond.
Liang Hui: "I've never met anyone more loyal than my brother. Although there's no possibility for him and Bai Shuang to be together, he has never thought about finding a partner and has remained single until now."
Bai Jiesui heard the key words Liang Hui wanted to express, single until now.
In other words, his account is completely contrary to Hua Xin's.
However, whether from a subjective or objective perspective, Liang Hui is more credible than Hua Xin.
Liang Hui: "You also find it incredible, but he is such a loyal person. No matter how many people have expressed their affection for him, he won't even look at them. If your mother had been with him, she would definitely not have made a wrong choice. Not to mention how happy she would have been."
Bai Jiesui smiled and said slowly, "It's hard to say. Didn't they break up in the beginning? If they broke up, it means they weren't suitable."
Liang Hui looked slightly surprised, and then a little embarrassed.
"You know anything about them?"
"I don't know as much as you do, but I can tell which of your statements are true and which are false."
Liang Hui simply opened up and spoke frankly: "Girl, just tell me honestly, is your biological father my brother Yan Yushan?"
"No." Bai Jiesui denied it decisively.
"Impossible, you look so much like him."
"No, I look like my mother."
The more decisively she denied it, the more strange Liang Hui felt. The fact was that they were somewhat similar, but she insisted on denying it.
If there really is no connection, why would she deny it so strenuously? She could just admit that she looks like Yan Yushan.
Liang Hui wanted to continue to tease her, but Bai Jiesui had no intention of talking to Liang Hui anymore.
She glanced at the time and said, "Uncle Liang, I still have work to do. I'm almost going back."
Then, without waiting for Liang Hui's response, she nodded and left in front of Liang Hui.
Liang Hui looked at her gradually receding figure and smiled silently, thinking that this girl was really difficult to deal with.
He also called Yan Yushan back immediately.
At this time, Yan Yushan had just finished chatting with Xiao Chu, and Xiao Chu's words seemed to still echo in his ears.
"I didn't think so before, but that day at the TV station, when you two were sitting together, I felt a bit similar for a moment. It was a bit strange at the time. I wanted to tell you about it after we came down, but I got busy with other things and forgot."
Yan Yushan's expression was solemn. Xiao Chu keenly realized that the question he asked was not simple. He took out Bai Jiesui's video on the spot and compared it repeatedly.
"I wouldn't say they're exactly alike, but there's just an indescribable resemblance. The way they speak, even some of their subtle movements are similar..."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but once he did, an idea popped into his mind that he thought was outrageous.
"Brother Yan, Doctor Xiaobai won't tell you..."
Yan Yushan didn't answer, waved his hand and let Xiao Chu go out first.
Xiao Chu closed the door of the room with a heart as turbulent as the waves of the storm.
If this is true, it will definitely become the most shocking news in the entertainment industry this year.
Although Xiao Chu is a tight-lipped person, he was afraid that he would accidentally let something slip, so he covered his mouth the whole time when watching the show with the crew members.
This made others curious and they asked him several times, teasing him whether he had eaten garlic tonight and didn't want to smoke everyone.
Xiao Chu let them tease him without saying a word, nor did he remove his hand that was covering his mouth.
In the room, Yan Yushan was alone watching the video that was still playing, and then he received a call from Liang Hui.
"I just went to chat with that girl for a while, and I dug up a lot of information."
"You went to find her?" Yan Yushan's voice unconsciously tightened.
"After all, I'm an old friend of her mother's. It's normal for me to go and chat with her."
Liang Hui said this with a bit of pride, and boasted to Yan Yushan, "This girl said she often watched my movies, the one I made with her mother, and she has been watching it since she was a child. She knows me very well."
Yan Yushan was indeed jealous of Liang Hui. Not to mention working with Bai Shuang, they didn't even have a photo together.
"So, what did you guys talk about?"
"You're anxious now. Didn't you hang up on me quickly just now? Why aren't you hanging up now?"
In response to Liang Hui's ridicule, Yan Yushan responded directly.
"In fact, I should have discovered it a long time ago, but I have been avoiding this issue before, not daring to face it or think about it in detail. Liang Hui, you are right, she can't have nothing to do with me at all, she is very likely my child."
Liang Hui said happily: "I tell you it's not a very high probability, it's a very high probability. This girl is very cautious and doesn't want to talk about many details, but I still asked for some clues."
Yan Yushan clenched his fists nervously and listened attentively to Liang Hui's words on the other end of the phone with bated breath.
"I asked about her age, and you said what a coincidence! It was just over seven months after Bai Xiaoshuang left. Who else could this child belong to but yours? There's no way Bai Xiaoshuang would have found another family so quickly."
Although he already had an idea in his mind, hearing this ironclad evidence with his own ears still made Yan Yushan's heart beat fast.
"There's another thing I have to remind you of. She doesn't seem to want to talk about anything related to you."
"She is hostile to me and is even unwilling to directly acknowledge her relationship with Bai Shuang in front of me."
"By the way, did you know that someone claiming to be his father's girlfriend came to her and gave her some money to get rid of her?"
Yan Yushan was stunned for a moment. Bai Jiesui had not told him clearly about this matter at the time. She just told him that she had solved it. It was not convenient for him to ask about the details, so he did not ask any further questions.
The result is actually like this.
Yan Yushan felt Bai Jiesui's hostility towards him from the first time he came into contact with her.
He couldn't figure it out at the time. He had only been with Bai Shuang before, so Bai Jiesui shouldn't be so wary of him. She even refused to tell him where Bai Shuang's grave was when he asked her about it, and even took away his treasured photos without saying hello. If they were strangers, she wouldn't do such an impolite thing.
If Bai Jie Sui had looked for him in the first place, everything would make sense.
Liang Hui and he thought the same thing.
"I think it's very likely that she has come to you."
"She tried to contact me, but she couldn't get through to me. I haven't received any news from her."
"Think carefully about it. Who would have intercepted your message in advance? What ulterior motive would they have to pretend to be your girlfriend and meet her?"
There are only a handful of people who can intercept Yan Yushan's messages, and they are nothing more than the staff around him. Only they can access his mobile phones, emails and other communication tools.
Xiao Chu didn't have the courage or the motivation to do so.
It was even more impossible for Taozi. She was on vacation to recuperate after giving birth. Even if she was not on vacation, it was impossible for her to hide it from him. At most, she would tease him that he had buried a big bomb for her more than 20 years ago.
It's even more impossible for the other employees in the studio, as they can't afford such a big thing.
There is only one suspicious person left.
Yan Yushan pondered for a while and said, "I almost guessed who it is."
"Do you have a suspect? What are your plans and intentions?"
"I will investigate it first. If it is really her..." He didn't finish his words, but his cold voice showed that he would not let this matter go so easily.
Liang Hui wanted to see the show and couldn't wait any longer.
"How long will you stay there?"
Yan Yushan was silent for a moment: "One week."
Liang Hui was shocked and asked, "Aren't you going to stay there for nearly half a year? Director Tan is notoriously slow and picky about filming. Can you finish the remaining scenes in a week?"
"I have enough drama left for a week, so I'll only give him a week."
After hanging up the phone, he went to find Director Tan immediately. In the past, he had time to accompany Director Tan and slowly polish the work, but now he couldn't do that. He couldn't stay for even one more day.
Liang Hui could already imagine the scene; there would definitely be a fierce quarrel.
After returning to the crew, Liang Hui found a shady place to sit, and Bai Jiesui was in a temporary lounge, taking the pulse of the crew members.
Although netizens like to joke that those who have their pulse touched by Bai Jiesui will die socially, in fact not that many people will die socially. Most ordinary people have normal bodies, especially the staff behind the scenes. They have nothing to be shy about, and the audience will not remember them, so they might as well take this opportunity to let Bai Jiesui show them.
So since one person started it, there has been a steady stream of people coming to her.
Chu Yiming was called by the director to film a scene. No one knew when it would be finished, so the people in their production team had to wait. Taking the pulses of the crew members could help pass the time, so she set up a temporary free medical consultation booth in the lounge.
Liang Hui is not a person who likes to watch TV. When he saw Bai Jiesui working for the first time, he felt that she was very focused and looked very professional, like a doctor.
Like many other parents, he felt very proud when he saw this scene and took several photos of her.
When taking the photos, Bai Jiesui noticed it, and there were also a few photos in which Bai Jiesui looked at them.
This cold and slightly annoyed look is exactly like Yan Yushan's.
Liang Hui was so excited that he shared it with his old friend.
Bai Jiesui silently withdrew her gaze, but after Liang Hui's test today, she knew that her peaceful days would not last for many days.
Chu Yiming's filming progress outside was very slow. As soon as the director called cut, he would go to touch up his makeup and apply sunscreen. Because he was very meticulous in all the processes, the entire crew had to wait for him for a few minutes.
When I meet him, it takes even longer to replenish his various beauty medicines and skin care lotions.
Bai Jiesui had only been sitting here for half an hour when he saw Chu Yiming drink two whole bottles of the health-preserving tea he brought with him.
Looking at what was in his assistant's bag, there were at least six or seven of the same cups.
"Does he drink so much every day?" Bai Jiesui asked the crew member next to him curiously.
"Teacher Chu is very self-disciplined and drinks it every day. I asked him about it and he said there are some that can reduce edema, replenish qi and blood, whiten the skin, and nourish the kidneys. There are all kinds of effects. The specific drink depends on his condition that day."
"Drinking so much." Bai Jiesui murmured. Everything is excessive, and she began to worry about Chu Yiming's situation.
While talking, Bai Jiesui watched another of their scenes, which was still the kissing scene between Chu Yiming and Zhuo Qi.
It took a total of three takes to finish. Zhuo Qi was quite emotional during the shoot. After being led into the role by Chu Yiming, she did not come out of it immediately. She had a sweet smile on her face the whole time and looked at Chu Yiming from time to time.
Until she saw the white mustard spikes watching over them, staring at them without blinking, as if she had never seen them before.
Zhuo Qi was instantly distracted and silently complained in her heart that she was ignorant and had to stare at others for a long time while filming a kissing scene.
Although they shot it three times, they only managed to get it right in the last take, so the director praised her highly, saying that she was not at all nervous during her first kissing scene and almost got it right in one take, and that she would definitely get better and better in the future.
The audience then remembered the applause from the crew members, praising them for their good filming of the scene.
This was the smoothest shoot Zhuo Qi had ever had in the crew, and it was also the first time she was praised publicly by the director.
In addition, Bai Jiesui was still present, and her feelings were self-evident when she heard her being praised in public.
But the polite words still need to be said.
"It was all thanks to Mr. Chu's guidance. He explained the play to me beforehand and helped me get into the role when filming started. Otherwise, I would definitely not have performed well."
Chu Yiming: "That's because you are smart. I didn't help you much."
"No, Mr. Chu, just standing here is a huge help to me. My first intimate kissing scene is with such a handsome and ageless man like you. I feel very lucky. I would feel a little regretful if anyone else in the entertainment industry filmed with me except you."
Chu Yiming benefited greatly from Zhuo Qi's words, especially the word "the entire entertainment industry". He looked at Liang Hui not far away, wondering if Liang Hui had heard it. Some people thought that he was the number one in the entire entertainment industry.
However, Chu Yiming still had to be polite: "Thank you for the compliment..."
Seeing them flattering endlessly, Bai Jiesui couldn't help but ask the director.
"Director, are they done filming?"
The director said cheerfully, "We've finished filming. You can borrow the people."
Zhuo Qi's face turned cold, thinking that Bai Jiesui was really spoiling the fun. This was clearly her glorious moment, but she had to interrupt it.
