Chapter 22 The Fallen Child Star 22
Xu Weiheng was extremely passionate about doing charity work.
He spent an entire night making a two-page list of books, saying that he wanted to create another reading corner for the children in the orphanage in the summer.
Yao Rong looked at his list of books, and only two of the four great classics were listed: "Aren't you going to buy the other two?"
Xu Weiheng said, "The other two are already available."
The list of books he made not only ensured its literary and entertaining value, but also ensured that there would be no duplication with the books already in the orphanage.
Yao Rong nodded and continued reading.
Then, she scanned a title that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.
"Starry Sky?" Yao Rong said jokingly, "Didn't you say that the books you want to buy are all selected from the must-read list for primary and secondary school students. How come I don't know that my novel is selected for the must-read list for primary and secondary school students?"
Xu Weiheng coughed and explained in a low voice: "Let children read more science fiction novels, which will help enrich their imagination."
As he spoke, Xu Weiheng became more confident: "I'm not trying to speak my mind. It's because your book is well written that it was selected into my book list."
Yao Rong laughed.
Xu Weiheng was embarrassed by her smile, so he reached out and snatched the list of books back, folded it and put it in his pocket: "I'm going to the bookstore."
Yao Rong asked: "Do you want me to help you?"
He wanted to buy a lot of books, and it would be tiring to carry them alone.
Xu Weiheng shook his head: "No, I'll just go to the bookstore twice more. You go and do your thing."
He wanted to complete such a meaningful thing by himself.
It took two full days, and Xu Weiheng successfully set up a reading corner for the orphanage.
On the day the reading corner was opened, Xu Weiheng invited Yao Rong to go to the orphanage with him.
When he arrived at the orphanage, Xu Weiheng was warmly welcomed by many children. After all, he had been in the orphanage for the past two days, and the children were familiar with him, so they were not afraid of strangers.
Qin Lele was there too.
She liked Xu Weiheng more than Yao Rong at this moment. Except for sweetly calling Yao Rong "sister" when she first saw her, she kept circling around Xu Weiheng, begging him, "Brother, please tell us a story."
Xu Weiheng was a little tempted and looked at Yao Rong.
Yao Rong said, "You go with Lele, I'll go around by myself."
Xu Weiheng followed Qin Lele and left.
Yao Rong walked around the orphanage and returned to the classroom corridor.
She stood outside the classroom, looking at the new reading corner through the clear glass.
In that small space, Xu Weiheng was surrounded by the children.
He sat on a dark blue dinosaur stool that was too small for his height, holding a comic book in his arms, with a light and relaxed smile on his face.
Yao Rong could read a kind of emotion from him, which was enjoyment.
At this moment, Yao Rong's mobile phone suddenly rang.
She looked down and saw that it was a message from the program team, saying that they had bought tickets for her and Xu Weiheng to fly to G City at noon tomorrow.
Thinking of the upcoming second episode of the variety show, Yao Rong's smile turned slightly cold.
Now that Xu Weiheng's life has gradually got on track, she didn't want the Xu family to affect Xu Weiheng's mood anymore.
Take this opportunity to put an end to everything.
The next afternoon, Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng rushed to G City with Ping An.
As soon as she left the airport, Yao Rong saw the staff of the program team.
"They should be here to pick us up. Let's go over there." Yao Rong said to Xu Weiheng.
Xu Weiheng, carrying his guitar in one hand and holding Ping An in the other, smiled and agreed.
The staff also saw them and trotted over to them: "You two teachers have worked hard. You can get in the car and take a rest first. The plane of the other group of guests will land at about the same time as yours. We will set off after picking them up."
Yao Rong: "No problem, we can do it."
The camera in the car was always on. As soon as Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng got in the car, the live broadcast room was also turned on.
The other group of guests did not make people wait for a long time. They arrived just as Yao Rong drank two sips of water.
"Hallo!" A crisp laugh came from outside the car.
The popular young actress Wen Qiu took off her sunglasses, shook her chestnut-blonde curly hair, and poked her head into the car while greeting Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Teacher Wen Qiu, we just arrived too." Xu Weiheng stood up and gave up his seat, politely replying.
Wen Qiu got into the car holding her Persian cat, and smiled and said: "Don't call me teacher, it's too polite. It happens that I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Sister Wen Qiu."
The other party took the initiative to release goodwill, and Xu Weiheng showed a faint smile at the corner of his lips, and followed Wen Qiu's words and shouted: "Sister Wen Qiu, I've seen the TV series "The Terror" you filmed, and I really like your performance in it."
Wen Qiu looked at Xu Weiheng in surprise.
If Xu Weiheng said that he really liked the hit idol dramas she had acted in, Wen Qiu would not be surprised.
But "The Shock Wave" was her first TV series after her debut.
At that time, she was not famous at all, and she played a girl with anorexia in this TV series, and all the shots added up to less than ten minutes.
In addition, the ratings of "The Shock Wave" were not high. To be honest, even fans who had liked her for many years might not have watched this TV series.
Wen Qiu asked tentatively: "Do you think I acted well in it?"
Xu Weiheng nodded affirmatively: "Although there are not many shots, but every time you appear, your eye acting is very well controlled. And a few habitual small movements are also well designed."
Hearing this, Wen Qiu believed that Xu Weiheng had really watched "The Frightening Saga" and was not deliberately looking for topics to get close to her.
For a moment, Wen Qiu felt a little bit of favor for Xu Weiheng.
She took out snacks from her backpack and shared them with Xu Weiheng: "Would you like some chocolate?"
Xu Weiheng nodded: "I'm a little hungry, then I won't be polite."
"Aunt Yao, do you want some too?" Wen Qiu asked Yao Rong again.
Yao Rong smiled and thanked him.
After Wen's father got in the car, the car left the airport and drove towards the coastline of City G. They will be recording in a villa by the sea for the next few days.
Wen Qiu pulled the car window halfway down, feeling the humid sea breeze, and asked the staff: "Have the other two groups of guests arrived?"
"They are all here."
Xu Weiheng, who was tickling Ping An, froze, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and his eyes were dim.
But only for a moment, he regained his composure and asked the staff: "How long does it take to drive from the airport to the villa?"
"It's very close, only twenty minutes."
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Xu Weiheng was sitting in the car. When he looked up, he saw the father and son standing at the door of the villa.
As if he had noticed Xu Weiheng's sight, Xu Ji, who was dressed in a suit, lifted his legs and walked towards the car.
The photographer followed Xu Ji closely with a camera, eager to capture the famous scene of the biological father and son meeting and the ex-husband and ex-wife reuniting for the first time in a century.
Their program team invited Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng to participate in the variety show recording, wasn't it for the upcoming moment!
The bullet screen in the live broadcast room instantly became hot.
[It's worth it that I squatted in the live broadcast room at noon, the famous scene I'm looking forward to is coming! ]
[Will they start fighting directly! ? ]
[Hahaha, it's so lively when the fighting starts. I've long been tired of those variety shows where everyone is fine and the years are peaceful]
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ji came to the car.
He looked at Yao Rong who got out of the car, with a smile of melancholy and nostalgia on his face: "Yao Rong, it's been many years since we last met, and you're still the same as before, without any changes."
Yao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "You are the same. After so many years, you are still as hypocritical as before."
[Hahahahaha God, this is too embarrassing]
[Thank you, Ms. Yao, please maintain the current standards and continue to attack. There is no need to show mercy to the scumbag ex-husband and his ex-husband's thief son]
Xu Ji knew that Yao Rong hated him, but he didn't expect her to be so disrespectful.
Fortunately, Xu Ji was not unprepared for such a scene.
His expression was slightly gloomy: "You have too deep a prejudice against me."
"That's not called prejudice." A cold voice sounded, and Xu Weiheng stood between Xu Ji and Yao Rong, faintly protecting Yao Rong behind him, "That's the fact."
Xu Ji frowned.
It was not until this moment that Xu Ji realized that this son, whom he had never looked at directly, had grown taller than him.
He had to look up to see Xu Weiheng's eyes clearly.
This posture made Xu Ji feel an unknown anger in his heart.
He always acted like a patriarch in front of Xu Weiheng. When had he ever been so humble?
But in front of the camera, Xu Ji could only continue his strategy of showing weakness: "Wei Heng, no matter what, I am your father."
Yao Rong quickly followed up: "If possible, I hope you can not be. But unfortunately, I am not like you, I can't do such a shameful thing as cheating in marriage."
Xu Ji: "..."
Xu Ji couldn't respond to Yao Rong's words at all.
Wen Qiu and others who were watching nearby didn't know whether they were stunned or what, and they didn't mean to help Xu Ji out.
At the critical moment, Xu Yiyuan stepped forward and forced the topic to Wen Qiu: "Sister Wen Qiu, I have always liked the TV series you filmed. Today I finally met you in person."
"Oh?" Wen Qiu's eyes turned and asked, "Which TV series of mine do you like?"
Xu Yiyuan replied: "It's the summer hit drama that you released last year. You looked so beautiful in it."
Wen Qiu smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment."
[Xu Yiyuan's answer is so perfunctory...]
[+1, after listening to the conversation between Xu Weiheng and Wen Qiu just now, I want to say that the difference is really obvious. 】
【Anyone who is not completely disconnected from the Internet must have heard of the TV series that Wen Qiu released last year. However, it was not the plot and acting that were praised, but Wen Qiu's appearance...Xu Yiyuan actually hasn't watched that TV series...】
【I must say that Xu Yiyuan is worthy of being Xu Ji's good son. The two of them are indeed hypocritical in the same vein】
