☆, Chapter 109: Care
After the most difficult passionate scene was filmed, the rest of the scenes were relatively easy. After staying on the island for another three days, the crew completed all the scenes on Qingzhu Island.
When leaving the island, Director Lin gave all the main actors two days off, so that everyone could have a good rest after returning and prepare for the subsequent filming.
The next shooting location is at the film and television city in City A. There are many crews there, and the heat inside the studio is even hotter. Director Lin himself also needs to rest for two days to prepare for the high-intensity work afterwards.
After receiving the news, Cheng An had been waiting outside the airport for a long time. When Lu Congxu and Wen Mianyu walked out of the airport gate, they saw the familiar nanny car.
"Your little girl really cares about you. She came very early." Wen Mianyu joked with a smile, "Do you think she will chase me away like she did before when she sees me getting in the car?"
"No." Lu Congxu reached out and held her, saying, "Xu Hong should have told him."
Xu Hong had indeed informed Cheng An about Lu Congxu and Wen Mianyu, so when Cheng An saw Wen Mianyu after getting off the car, he did not look as ferocious as before.
But after all, resentment is hard to let go, and Cheng An is not the kind of smooth and hypocritical person.
He couldn't talk and laugh with Wen Mianyu all of a sudden, so he only spoke to Lu Congxu, "Brother Lu."
"How long have you been waiting?" Lu Congxu didn't make things difficult for him by ignoring Wen Mianyu.
"Not long ago, I just arrived too." Cheng An opened the back door of the car and took the suitcase from Lu Congxu. "Are you tired from sitting on the plane for so long? Brother Lu, please get in the car."
Lu Congxu handed the suitcase to him, helped Wen Mianyu get into the car first, and then got in himself.
Cheng An watched the interaction between the two with a sour look on his face. After putting down his luggage, he walked around to the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.
"Brother Lu, where are you going?" Cheng An asked as he started the car.
Lu Congxu gave the address of a community that Cheng An had never been to.
"Where is this?" Cheng An asked.
"It's my home." Wen Mianyu replied.
The one who went with Lu Congxu to help with the move was Zhang Ye, and Cheng An didn't know where she lived.
"Oh..." Cheng An responded politely and drove the car onto the road with a complicated expression.
Half an hour later, a black business car stopped in front of the apartment building.
Cheng An got out of the car and, following Lu Congxu's instructions, took the silver suitcase out of the trunk and handed it to Wen Mianyu.
"Thank you." Wen Mianyu took the box and thanked him, then walked over to Lu Congxu and asked, "Would you like to come up and sit down?"
"No, Xu Hong has something to talk to me about. Please wait for me at my company." Lu Congxu did not move.
"Then I'll go upstairs first. See you at the cinema then." Wen Mianyu said.
"See you tomorrow." Lu Congxu took a step forward, and the distance between them suddenly shortened. He reached out and helped Wen Mianyu straighten the collar of his shirt. "Let's go out for dinner together?"
"Okay, I'll contact you then." Wen Mianyu agreed generously, but her tightly pursed lips revealed her discomfort.
Lu Congxu saw through it but didn't say anything. He took a step back to make way and said, "Go back and rest early."
"You too, have a good rest these two days." Wen Mianyuli gave the advice.
…
After watching Wen Mianyu go upstairs, Lu Congxu returned to the car.
Cheng An started the car, glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.
"Just say it if you have something to say." Lu Congxu could see that he had something to say.
"Brother Lu..." Cheng An bit his lower lip, "I heard from Sister Hong that you and that..."
"Yes, Sister Hong didn't lie to you." Lu Congxu said calmly and frankly, "I like her."
"..." Cheng An was choking back all his words.
Lu Congxu turned his head and lowered the car window a little to let the wind in.
The breeze blows on my face, cool and comfortable.
In front, Cheng was quiet for half a minute before mustering up the courage to speak again, "But you clearly didn't like her before. She was so... pestering you, weren't you always disgusted? It's only been a short time, I really don't understand..."
As someone who witnessed how Su Moli was obsessed with him and how she pestered Lu Congxu, Cheng An found it harder than anyone else to accept the fact that Lu Congxu would fall in love with such a woman.
Before becoming Lu Congxu's assistant, Cheng An's idol was Lu Congxu. He really hoped that his idol could find someone to spend his life with, but it would definitely not be a flower-crazy person like Su Moli.
The male god actually fell in love with this kind of woman. Cheng An felt that his three views collapsed.
Lu Congxu didn't want to explain anything further and said, "These things can't be explained in a few words. In short, just remember that you don't have to care about the past. You just need to remember that from now on, she is the most important to me. How you treat me, you will treat her the same way."
Cheng An widened his eyes and almost forgot to brake when the red light ahead appeared.
Treat her the way you treat me.
Coming from Lu Congxu's mouth, these words were really heavy. Cheng An had never seen him care so much about any woman in such a long time.
Lu Congxu always seemed noble and self-respecting, unlike other men who fell in love with every woman they met and were slick and flattering to her.
If he says he cares about a woman, then he really cares about her.
…
When Wen Mianyu moved out of the shared apartment, she only took some of her belongings with her. The rest, such as old appliances and other things, were left in the original house.
Later, she was in a hurry to go to the island to film, so she didn't go back to sort it out. She just thought that if she didn't have time to go back after the lease expired, she would just throw away all the things.
There were only a few days left in the lease, and she also had some vacation time, so she decided to pack up and sell her things.
Although the selling price would not be much, she did not want to let Liang Xiao get away with it cheaply.
The next morning, Wen Mianyu took a taxi to Liang Xiao's place.
When he got off the car in the community and walked into the apartment building, Wen Mianyu suddenly heard someone calling Su Moli's name behind him.
"Su Moli!"
"Su Moli, stand right there!"
"Su Moli, stop!"
Wen Mianyu stopped, turned around, and saw two people who surprised her.
A short middle-aged woman was followed by a young man. They were running towards her from ten meters away, walking on the green belt between the two roads. They slowed down when they saw her stop.
"Mom, please run slower. Jasmine has stopped." The young man supported the middle-aged woman and pointed at Wen Mianyu.
"This little bastard!" the middle-aged woman cursed breathlessly.
The woman is in her fifties and looks very old due to improper maintenance. Her face has the commercialism and calculation that are unique to women of this age.
The man was in his twenties, with features somewhat resembling a woman's. He was wearing a branded sports outfit and had a look of over-indulgence on his face.
It was Su Moli's biological mother and brother, who had been calling Wen Mianyu repeatedly to ask for money.
Wen Mianyu changed her number after that and never gave the two men the chance to harass her again.
I didn’t expect these two people to come to City A?
"Little bastard! Let's see how you can hide!" After the two ran over, the woman pointed at Wen Mianyu and started scolding, "You think you can leave us now that you're strong enough? Don't you see who raised you up?"
"Auntie, please speak with more respect." Wen Mianyu frowned and took a step back to avoid being poked by the woman's fingertips.
Her biological mother died early in her previous life, and she didn't have many opportunities to call her mother. It was impossible for her to call a savage woman like Su's mother "mother", and she didn't want to call her that.
She couldn't even utter a respectful title like "Auntie", so she just called her "Auntie".
"Auntie, you called me Auntie!" Su's mother glared, unable to believe what she heard.
"You don't like it? Then I can call you by your name." Wen Mianyu said readily, "Shufen."
“…” Su’s mother.
“…”Brother Su.
Su's mother's name is Li Shufen, which is a very common name given to her by many people in rural areas, but except for Su's father, no one in the family calls her that.
Su Moli has always been obedient to her parents since she was a child. She basically listens to whatever her mother says. Her mother was already surprised that she refused to send her living expenses before, but now she even dares to call her by her name.
It’s really...really the opposite!
"Su Moli, how dare you talk to your mother like that? I think you are really itching for trouble!" Brother Su yelled at Wen Mianyu before his mother could speak.
Wen Mianyu glanced at him calmly and said, "Xiao Qiang, you have nothing to do here. Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."
“…”Su Qiang.
When he was a child, he played with the kids in town. Some of them called him Xiaoqiang, but he beat them up.
Don’t think he doesn’t know what Xiaoqiang is. Wen Mianyu actually dared to insult him like this!
"Don't call me that!" Su Qiang said loudly.
"What about Daqiang?" Wen Mianyu asked.
“…”Su Qiang.
Why does it feel even weirder?
"What are you two doing here?" Wen Mianyu asked as he lifted his backpack.
The mother and son of the Su family were confused for a while after hearing her random names.
Su Qiang first remembered the purpose of his trip and shouted, "You still dare to ask, were you the one who changed the family living allowance to 1,000 without my permission? You even dared to hang up on Mom and change her number!"
"So what if it's me?" Wen Mianyu said with a look of superiority and indifference, "I earn money, and it's my freedom to spend it however I want."
"You..." Su Qiang was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Mother Su naturally couldn't accept seeing her precious son being wronged. She immediately became spirited and pointed at Wen Mianyu and said, "I gave birth to you and raised you. All your things are mine. You have no right to decide how to use them."
"If you're here to tell me this kind of nonsense, I don't have time to talk to you." Wen Mianyu turned and left.
"Stop!" Su's mother grabbed her and said, "You are not allowed to run away!"
"Why would I run away?" Wen Mianyu thought it was ridiculous and looked sideways at Su's mother. "I'm free and I'm leaving openly. What qualifications do you have to stop me?"
"I think you're itching for trouble!" Su Qiang was completely enraged by her contemptuous attitude. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards her.
Su's mother immediately let go of her hand and took a step back to make room for Su Qiang to perform.
This is not the first time these two have acted like this.
Su Moli had to help with housework since she was very young, but Su Qiang, as the only male in the family, did not have to do anything and always got to eat the best food.
Su Moli had also felt aggrieved and tried to fight for herself, but she was always scolded by Su's mother and occasionally beaten by Su Qiang.
In the Su family's view, women are from outside the family, and no matter how well they are raised, they will belong to someone else's family after they grow up and get married.
But it is different for males. They inherit the family line and property. After getting married, they are also the head of the family and have the right to dispose of the women in the family.
Therefore, every time Su Qiang took action, Su's father and mother thought it was natural, and would even help Su Qiang to stand up and then scold Su Moli.
Su Moli was a thin girl, so naturally she couldn't beat Su Qiang. After a few fights, she no longer wanted to fight.
Su's mother still thought the person in front of her was the former Su Moli. After stepping back, she encouraged her son, "Beat him! Beat this little bastard to death. I want to see if he will learn his lesson..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Su's mother widened her eyes.
Wen Mianyu easily dodged Su Qiang's fist and threw a right straight punch directly at Su Qiang's face.
Unlike Su Qiang who only uses brute force, Wen Mianyu has been learning martial arts since elementary school and started learning Taekwondo and free fighting in his teens. This punch uses the strength of his waist and back, and is fast and fierce.
Su Qiang felt like his nose was about to collapse. The pain was so severe that he saw stars and his nose bled instantly.
Mother Su was completely stunned. She was stunned for a few seconds before rushing over and hugging her son, "A Qiang!"
"Mom, it hurts so much..." Su Qiang covered his nose and cried out in pain.
Mother Su hugged her son, heartbroken, and scolded Wen Mianyu, "You little bastard, you damned bastard! You even hit your brother!"
The commotion made by a few people standing on the roadside has attracted quite a few people. Residents in the community leaned out of the windows to look down, and some elderly men and women who were walking nearby also gathered over.
Everyone was confused and pointed at Wen Mianyu and the others, talking and making all kinds of guesses.
Wen Mianyu didn't care about being watched. She remained calm and composed, clasping her fists to the people around her. "It's nothing serious. Sorry to bother you all. My brother is uneducated and my family forced me to take care of him. We had a little quarrel. Everyone, please come and watch the fun and then go away."
After she explained the whole story in a few words, the people around her who had originally sympathized with the Su family mother and son immediately sneered.
The phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is now rare in big cities. Gender equality is the trend now. Aren’t girls cute enough? Or is there a throne in your family that you want to inherit?
Seeing that Wen Mianyu was fair, pretty and polite, while the mother and son of the Su family were cursing and had no manners at all, everyone felt sympathy for Wen Mianyu.
Born in such a family, alas.
Wen Mianyu lost patience with the Su family mother and son. Too lazy to waste time with them any longer, she turned around and left.
"Where are you going!" Su's mother was afraid that she would run away, so she hurriedly pulled Su Qiang to follow her.
Su Qiang's nosebleed stopped on its own after a while, and he wanted to follow Wen Mianyu even with paper stuffed in his nose.
"I don't need to report where I'm going." Wen Mianyu walked into the apartment building and called for the elevator.
The door opened, Wen Mianyu walked in, and the Su family mother and son also squeezed in.
Wen Mianyu didn't care whether they followed her or not. She stood aside and kept a distance from them.
"Su Moli, don't think you're awesome just because you can beat me. Don't you think I don't know? You're not just a supporting actress anymore! Now that you're the leading actress, you're going to be famous. Famous stars are most afraid of scandals. If you don't pay us, we'll expose you in the media!"
Su Qiang was probably very angry and said a lot of words in one breath.
Wen Mianyu was worried that he would faint in the middle of his speech, so she listened patiently to the end, but only gave him a nonchalant smile, "Whatever you say."
As they were talking, the elevator arrived at the floor. With a ding, the door opened and Wen Mianyu stepped out.
The mother and son of the Su family were stunned by her retort. They only reacted when the elevator door was about to close. They hurriedly squeezed out and were almost pinched by the door.
