☆, Chapter 127 Nickname
"Well, I'm a little afraid of falling out of love right at the beginning." Lu Congxu said seriously, "After all, I... finally got a girlfriend."
"Haha..." Wen Mianyu was amused by him, and the vague melancholy caused by Wen Xueyao disappeared in the joke.
"Oh, right, there's something." Lu Congxu suddenly remembered something and turned serious. "When I was recording my statement at the police station, I asked my friend about the progress of the case. According to him, Wen Xueyao and Xia Ning have confessed everything they should have. There's only one thing they both deny."
"What's the matter?" Wen Mianyu asked.
"Regarding the large truck that hit us, Xia Ning insisted she had no knowledge of it, no matter how many times she was interrogated. Wen Xueyao also denied it," Lu Congxu said. "According to the information the police have found, the truck driver and Wen Xueyao indeed had no prior contact."
"You also think that the truck was not an accident?" Wen Mianyu sat up straight.
"I'm just guessing. There's no substantial evidence. Wen Xueyao only admitted to tampering with the brakes. It seems the truck incident really has nothing to do with her." Lu Congxu said.
Wen Mianyu pondered and fell into thought.
Unlike Lu Congxu, she faced the truck head-on and was deeply impressed by the speed at which the driver rushed towards her without any hesitation.
It's possible to say it was an accident caused by fatigue driving, but it's also possible to say it was a murder for hire.
Wen Mianyu still can't be sure.
"Since they don't admit it, it probably isn't true. There's really no need for them to hire someone to kill someone after the brakes are applied. That's too stupid." Wen Mianyu said.
"Yes, the police also think so, so this case should be closed soon." Lu Congxu said.
"Let's close the case. Whatever happens, that's enough." Wen Mianyu didn't want to dwell on it any further. "The truck incident was probably just an accident. Don't dwell on it anymore."
Lu Congxu nodded.
…
The car accident case has come to an end and is just waiting for the final verdict.
Wen Mianyu put his mind at ease and devoted himself to filming again.
She only has three days of filming left before it is finished, and she will be separated from Lu Congxu for a short period of time.
In the remaining few days, Wen Mianyu raced against time to spend more time with Lu Congxu. The newly-in-love young couple had a lot of romance to learn, and they were so sweet that even when filming the quarrel scenes, there was a pink atmosphere around them.
"Cut!" After several consecutive NGs, Director Lin got furious. "Congxu, Moli! What's wrong with you two? We're filming a quarrel. You two are having an unprecedented argument over your children. Moli, you're very sad and feel that Congxu doesn't understand you. Congxu, you're very determined. This is the first time you haven't compromised for love..."
"Sad, sad, lost, these are the emotions you want to express, Jasmine! Why are you always pursing your lips? Look at Congxu's eyes, they are full of affection. Is that right, don't you think?"
"Cong Xu, you must be steadfast and indifferent. How come you become gentle the moment you meet Jasmine's eyes? What is indifference? Don't tell me you can't express such a simple emotion! All those Best Actor awards were won for nothing?"
Director Lin scolded the two of them severely.
He had noticed something was wrong in the past few days. When Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu were acting opposite other actors, they performed well, but once it came to the emotional scenes between the two of them, something was wrong with them.
She can act out sweetness perfectly, but not arguments and cold wars. No matter what she plays, she exudes a romantic atmosphere, which makes him wonder if the two are in love.
Of course, based on Director Lin's understanding of Lu Congxu, he felt that this was still impossible. Lu Congxu was so cold and stubborn, how could he possibly know how to fall in love?
So he thought that these two people were at the end of filming and were not emotionally invested enough, especially Wen Mianyu, who was about to wrap up in a few days, and his heart was probably elsewhere.
"You two go to the car and reflect for half an hour, and then continue filming after half an hour. Jasmine, if you don't take it seriously, I will take you out alone." Director Lin criticized Wen Mianyu by name.
…
"You said, it's obvious that both of us performed poorly, so why did Director Lin criticize me specifically?" Back in the car, Wen Mianyu thought about it and still felt that it didn't make sense, so he complained to Lu Congxu.
Lu Congxu laughed when he heard that. "Maybe Director Lin thought you were about to wrap up filming, so it was hard for you to get into the mood and that's why I couldn't get into the role."
"That's really unfair. I tried so hard to get into the role. It's obviously someone who didn't act well and always emitted waves of affection." Wen Mianyu raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, it's my fault." Lu Congxu admitted his mistake without hesitation.
"Forget it, you'd better stop talking to me. I need to calm down and find my state." Wen Mianyu pushed him away. "If you don't perform well again, Director Lin will be mad at us. Don't bother me!"
"Okay, I won't disturb you." Lu Congxu was very obedient. "I'll get off and take a look around."
"Go ahead." Wen Mianyu waved her hand.
…
Lu Congxu got off the car and happened to meet Cheng An coming over.
"Brother Lu." Cheng An was holding a box in his arms. It looked a bit heavy, and he was so tired that his breathing was heavy.
Lu Congxu approached and saw that it was Fu Lai's milk. He was a little surprised, "Didn't I ask you to give it to everyone? Why did you bring it back?"
"Brother Lu." Cheng An's face darkened upon hearing this, his bitterness pouring out. "Ever since Su Moli's commercial came out, you bought a whole truckload of milk and gave it all away. Now the entire crew, even the extras, have received several cartons. They're drinking milk every day instead of mineral water. I give it to them, but they won't drink it!"
Lu Congxu was rarely embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "Then take it back and give it to the people in the studio when you get back."
"Brother Lu!" Cheng An hurriedly stopped him, practically begging for mercy, "Please let the people in the studio go. You've already sent a whole car of drinks to the studio. I guess they haven't even finished half of them yet. If you keep sending them, everyone will be tired of drinking."
"Then send it to the mountainous area for charity or to the school." Lu Congxu always has a way.
"Haven't you donated several cars..." Cheng An retorted weakly.
“…” Lu Congxu.
"You've been buying milk these days. I know you're doing it to support Su Moli's endorsement, but this much is enough. You've been good enough to her..." Cheng An couldn't help but say a few more words. He really felt that his brother Lu had changed.
Ever since the advertisement shot by Wen Mianyu was released, Lu Congxu has been like a crazy fan, buying and donating ten truckloads of milk.
Although this amount of money is nothing to Lu Congxu, it is completely unnecessary.
In order to save face for Su Moli, even Su Moli didn't know that Lu Congxu had done so much. Isn't he trying too hard?
Their Brother Lu is so good, and so many actresses like him. If they can be together, then Su Moli is definitely marrying up.
Cheng An thought unconvincedly.
But he knew that Lu Congxu would be unhappy if he heard these words, so he did not say it directly, but only gave subtle advice.
"Brother Lu, you don't even qualify as a spokesperson. The brand will think you've boosted sales, but they won't give the spokesperson commissions. With this money, you might as well buy some luxury bags or something. Su Moli will definitely like it more."
After all, he is obviously a vain person, Cheng An thought.
"I told you, she doesn't like those." Lu Congxu said, "Okay, I won't buy them for now. Milk has a shelf life, and I won't waste it."
"That's good." Cheng An breathed a sigh of relief and took the box back to the car to put it away.
Lu Congxu stopped him and said, "Mianmian is reciting her lines, don't disturb her. Put the milk under the tree first."
"Oh." Cheng An responded reluctantly, thinking that it had only been a short time since they started dating and he had already given her a nickname, which was quite lingering.
…
On the day Wen Mianyu finished filming, she discovered that everyone on the crew had a box of milk that she endorsed, and they drank milk for three meals a day.
The brands she endorses are available in boxes and bags, and even the extras who used to drink mineral water are now drinking milk.
this……
Do you support her career so much?
Wen Mianyu felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Zhang Ye also drinking milk, she asked indirectly, "Is this milk delicious?"
"It tasted pretty good at first," Zhang Ye said, biting his straw. "But even the best things taste good, and if you keep drinking them, you'll get tired of them. I've been drinking milk like water every day for the past couple of days, and now I can't really tell whether it tastes good or not."
"..." Wen Mianyu.
She had been so absorbed in her relationship these past few days that she hadn't really observed what Zhang Ye usually drank. She hadn't expected that Zhang Ye would make such sacrifices to support her.
She discovered it too late.
"Actually, you don't have to be so polite. This isn't the first time I've endorsed a product. I'd be happy if sales were good, but I don't get any commission or anything. I feel embarrassed by your support." Wen Mianyu laughed.
Zhang Ye turned to look at her, a little surprised, "Did you misunderstand Jasmine? It's not me who's showing support, it's Actor Lu who sent the milk, and the whole crew has it."
"Ah?" Now it was Wen Mianyu's turn to be surprised.
"I heard that Mr. Lu donated a lot. Everyone has been drinking the same thing these days. Haven't you noticed?" Zhang Ye asked.
"I didn't. I was almost done filming these past two days and was pretty busy, so I didn't notice." Wen Mianyu stood up immediately, "I'll go ask Mr. Lu."
Zhang Ye smiled and watched her leave.
…
Lu Congxu should be in the lounge at this time. Wen Mianyu went over and pushed open the door, but found no one inside.
He must have been asked to add more scenes at the last minute.
Wen Mianyu pulled over a chair and planned to sit down and wait, when the door suddenly opened and a man wearing sunglasses leaned in.
Wen Mianyu met the gaze of the man who came up and felt familiar at first sight. The next second, she recognized who the man was, "Ye Qianan?"
Ye Qianan was about to turn around and leave when he saw Lu Congxu was not there, but he stopped when he heard this.
He took off his sunglasses and glanced at Wen Mianyu, "What do you want me to do?"
"I should be the one asking this question. What are you doing here?" Wen Mianyu stood up suddenly.
"This is a film set, a public place. I can come here whenever I want. It's my freedom and I don't need your consent." Ye Qianan said coldly, with contempt for her in his tone.
Wen Mianyu was almost amused. "You can go to the set, but this is Mr. Lu's lounge. It's owned by someone. How can it not be considered a public place? You are trespassing in private territory!"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Ye Qianan turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop." Wen Mianyu called him and took a few steps forward. "What are you so anxious about? Are you so afraid of me? It's true that you don't want to pay attention to me, and in fact, I don't want to pay attention to you either, but why do I still care about you even though I clearly don't want to pay attention to you? It's because you said some nonsense to Mr. Lu."
"What I say has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between me and Lu Congxu." Faced with the provocation, Ye Qianan's face was cold. "When I met him, you didn't even know where you were."
"When you met him, I was on Qingzhu Island. But when I met him, you didn't know him yet." Wen Mianyu crossed her arms and looked down at Ye Qianan with a superior attitude. "You know, I was the one who introduced him to you."
"..." Ye Qianan was suddenly stunned, his face full of suspicion, "What did you say?"
"I'm saying..." Wen Mianyu walked up to him, emphasizing each word. "When I met Lu Congxu, you didn't even know him. Qian'an, you've never had many friends since you were a child. You've been focused on learning opera, holding yourself to the standards of a gentleman. Your life has been dull and boring. Which of your friends wasn't introduced to you by me?"
"You... who are you?" Ye Qianan widened his eyes and couldn't help but step back.
"Who am I? Can't you tell now?" Wen Mianyu pressed on. "Who am I? I studied opera like you since childhood, and entered the entertainment industry like you. I acted, you sang, and you took advantage of my death to profit from so many people's misfortunes. How come you don't recognize me now?"
"Impossible, Mian Yu is already dead." Ye Qianan shook his head.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to be reborn, but life is so interesting. I was reborn in Su Moli's body." Wen Mianyu looked at him, "You always boast about how affectionate you are, and even lied to Lu Congxu. How come you can't even recognize the person you like now?"
"Or..." Wen Mianyu stretched out her voice, "Or are you just a hypocrite? Or has your love never been deep? You only love my original appearance and identity that match yours, not me. I have never deliberately concealed my identity, but you see, you can't detect it at all. Your deep love is nothing but a joke."
"No, no, I didn't!" Ye Qianan denied harshly, "You lied to me. It was Lu Congxu who asked you to lie to me, right? You can't be Wen Mianyu!"
"Stop deceiving yourself!" Wen Mianyu stopped him, "Lu Congxu doesn't know anything about what happened between us. You initially stalled the engagement for Grandpa, and later you lied to me. It was raining on the day we met on the island, and you said something to me then..."
Wen Mianyu spoke like a machine gun, telling many stories of the past. These were things that only she and Ye Qianan knew about. Neither the media nor Lu Congxu knew about them.
Listening to these memories that could not be faked at all, Ye Qianan was completely stunned. He couldn't believe it, but he couldn't find any flaws to disbelieve it.
He could only repeat the three words "No" over and over in his mind, not knowing who to tell them to.
After Wen Mianyu finished speaking, she gave him a mocking smile and said, "These things are things that only you and I know. If you still want to hear more, I can tell you more, until you believe it."
At this moment, Su Moli's face in front of him strangely overlapped with Wen Mianyu, and Ye Qianan seemed to really see the shadow of Wen Mianyu in the person in front of him.
