Chapter 29: Being given the nice guy card!
What?!
Everyone in the Du family turned their heads and looked above Director Gao's head.
Just at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and when everyone was unprepared, it revealed a huge secret that someone had hidden for a long time.
A few stubborn hairs on the sparse forehead fluttered in the wind, reflecting the light of a small circle of vacuum area in the center of the top of the head. It sparkled brightly under the sunlight, like a light bulb.
Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Director Gao subconsciously reached out and touched the top of his head, and felt the familiar smoothness.
“…”
Silence is the hospital tonight, and awkwardness makes reality dull.
Director Gao was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He shook his hands and laughed dryly twice: "It seems that today is not suitable..."
"Actually, it's not impossible for me to calculate it for you."
Director Gao was stunned for a long time before he realized what Duan Rao meant. He was delighted and no longer cared about the missing wig. He asked excitedly, "Really?"
Du Anrao glanced again at the black smoke that had condensed into dark clouds above the other person's head, as well as the faint purple light that was faintly visible behind the dark clouds.
"What do you want to calculate?"
"Of course, it's about whether the drama on hand can be successfully filmed and released, and what the harvest is."
Duanrao choked and fell silent again.
[Help, how can I tell him that your drama is about to end because your male lead is about to collapse! ]
Several people from the Du family: "Pfft..."
The strange silence made Director Gao feel uneasy, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope: "Should I write a word too?"
"No need." Duan Rao considered his words and said in a mysterious way, "The situation you want to ask is a little complicated, but you don't have to be too nervous. I will give you eight words."
"…Which eight words?"
"Dark clouds cover the sky, and purple air comes from the east."
Everyone: “???”
Not only Director Gao, but everyone present was confused when they heard these eight words.
Director Gao thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what these eight words with completely opposite meanings meant, so he had to ask Du Anrao for help again.
"...Master, can you be more specific?"
Du Anrao didn't say anything else, just gave him a look and let him figure it out.
Director Gao: "..." Okay, the secret can't be revealed, right? I understand, I understand!
When the group was about to walk out of the hospital gate, Duan Rao suddenly stopped and said, "Mom, Dad, and Brother, you and Director Gao should go out first. I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon."
Du Hexuan was not too reassured: "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, no, I saw the toilet sign when I went upstairs just now. It's not far away." Duanrao said as he ran in, and it was obvious that he was really anxious.
Seeing this, the others didn't insist and prepared to wait for her at the door.
Duanrao found the toilet as quickly as possible to relieve himself and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at the toilet door.
"Mr. Xi?"
"Ms. Du." Xi Jingyue saw Du Anrao's surprised expression, "What a coincidence, why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, a senior from my second brother's crew was hospitalized due to some incident, so my second brother and I came here to visit him."
"I see."
"Why is Mr. Xi here? Are you sick?"
"No, this hospital is one of my family's assets."
Duan Rao didn't expect to get such an answer. He was stunned for a moment: "Doesn't your family run an entertainment company?"
When Xi Jingyue heard her words, he knew she was thinking wrongly, and smiled and said, "That's my cousin's business. His family doesn't run an entertainment company, but he was interested in this area, so he used the money given by his family to invest in an entertainment company."
Du Anrao took a few seconds to digest the meaning of Xi Jingyue's words and nodded.
[I understand, I understand. Rich people love to invest. They have businesses everywhere. 】
Xi Jingyue: “…” This idiom is not used like this.
Du Anrao looked at the person in front of him and suddenly thought of Zhou Shunzhe and others' speculation not long ago: "Mr. Xi, can I ask you a question?"
Xi Jingyue was a little surprised. He and Duanrao had only met a few times, and her brother deliberately obstructed them, so they were not really familiar with each other.
But even so, she still started chatting with me so smoothly. Is this little girl so unsuspecting towards everyone?
"Of course. I'm about the same age as your second brother. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xi."
Du Anrao didn't know what Xi Jingyue was thinking, and he didn't call him brother as he said. Instead, he gave him a more appropriate name: "Mr. Xi, Jiang Huaiying was arrested. Were you helping behind the scenes?"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Xi Jingyue was still caught off guard by Duanrao's direct shot: "Why do you ask that?"
"Director Gao and the others guessed."
"What about your own thoughts?"
Duan Rao looked at Xi Jingyue for a while, pursed his lips and said, "I think it's you."
"Why?"
"Intuition." Du Anrao couldn't explain why. When Zhou Shunzhe and the others talked about it before, she didn't think there was anything wrong.
But now standing in front of this person, she suddenly had a very strong intuition in her heart, telling her that yes, it was indeed this person.
"So, is that so?"
"It's me."
"Why?" This time it was Duanrao who asked.
"Maybe it's because you feel bad?"
"Excuse me?"
"If I hadn't invited you to dinner that night and agreed to Jiang Huaiying's table sharing, you and your second brother wouldn't have had a conflict with that woman, and you wouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster because of offending her."
Du Anrao had never expected Xi Jingyue to think this way. Although it was not wrong to be fussy about it, but...
"This is not Mr. Xi's fault. She had already set her sights on my second brother. Even if we didn't go to that restaurant for dinner that night, she would have come to my second brother sooner or later. Moreover, everyone agreed to the proposal to share the table at that time. Mr. Xi just agreed to it according to our request. It can't be blamed on you in any way."
Hearing Duanrao comforting him, Xi Jingyue smiled slightly: "That being said, if you look deeper into this matter, I am still responsible, and I was the one who forced her to apologize to you. If she really wanted to take revenge for what happened that day, she shouldn't have left me out. In the final analysis, she is just bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and she has also transferred her hatred for me to you, so strictly speaking, it is me who has implicated you."
"Fortunately you are all okay, otherwise I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life. It's good enough that you don't blame me. Now I am just lending a hand and making sure the evildoers get their comeuppance. This is what I should do."
As Du Anrao listened to Xi Jingyue's explanation without taking any credit for it, he felt more and more that he had not misjudged him.
【Mr. Xi is indeed a good man. 】
Xi Jingyue: "..." Uh, it seems that I accidentally pretended to be too much and got the card of being a nice guy! "
