Chapter 7 The Fallen Child Star 7
This Weibo post was actually posted by Zhang Qingyi at the request of Yao Rong.
Zhang Qingyi is the blonde woman with pearl earrings and short hair.
Coincidentally, the editor-in-chief of the A City Daily is Zhang Qingyi's father.
The air police asked Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng to take their statements, not for any other reason, but because they were very close at the time, they wanted them to be eyewitnesses.
Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng both proved that Zhang Qingyi did not do anything, so when Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng left, Zhang Qingyi could leave with them.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Zhang Qingyi thanked Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng again.
She originally had delicate makeup on her face, but now the makeup was smudged, and her eyes were very red and swollen.
Seeing that it was still early, Yao Rong asked Xu Weiheng for some makeup removal wipes: "I'll go to the bathroom with you to remove your makeup."
Zhang Qingyi heard her suggestion, and the tears that had just stopped came out again.
She sniffed: "I really don't know how to thank you. I've delayed you for so much time. I'll treat you to dinner later. Don't refuse."
After washing her face with cold water, Zhang Qingyi's mood finally calmed down a lot. She took Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng to the fast food restaurant in the airport.
During the meal, Xu Weiheng took off his mask.
Zhang Qingyi looked at him several times, and the more he looked, the more familiar he looked. It seemed that he was a child star who was often on the hot search some time ago. What was his name?
"You...you are..."
Xu Weiheng took the initiative to answer: "Xu Weiheng."
Xu Weiheng acted so frankly that Zhang Qingyi felt a little embarrassed.
Yao Rong interrupted and resolved Zhang Qingyi's embarrassment.
"What are your plans? Are you going to fly directly back to City A later?"
Zhang Qingyi smiled bitterly: "I haven't figured out what to do yet, but I don't want to go back to City A so soon. I haven't been to City D before. Since I'm here this time, I'll stay here for a while to relax." She took this time to calm
down and consider other things.
Impulse can't solve any problems, it will only further intensify the conflict.
On the plane, she said she wanted a divorce in a rage, but her family and her husband's family are old friends, and the two have a seven-year-old son. Even if she wanted to divorce, it would not be so hasty.
"What about your son..." Xu Weiheng hesitated, but still asked.
Zhang Qingyi said with some relief: "He is currently attending a closed summer camp, which will not end for more than a month. Before he goes home, I will do my best to calm myself down and deal with this matter."
Xu Weiheng smiled slightly and nodded: "That's good."
Yao Rong glanced at Xu Weiheng and handed him the fries in front of him.
Immediately, Zhang Qingyi asked Yao Rong what fun places there were in City D.
Yao Rong thought about it and gave her a suggestion.
"I have a homestay in Ying County. If you haven't decided where to stay yet, why not go to Ying County first and rent my homestay for a while. Although Ying County is small, the environment is very livable. If you want to relax, there are many farmhouses around."
Zhang Qingyi was overjoyed: "That's great."
In order to reassure Zhang Qingyi, Yao Rong told Zhang Qingyi the name of the homestay and asked Zhang Qingyi to search for the name of the homestay on the rental software and then make a phone call to verify.
After some operations, Zhang Qingyi still had nothing to worry about.
The three of them had just finished dinner when Zhang Qingyi's phone rang.
She walked to the window to answer the phone. At first, she looked very sad, but she didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, and her expression became a little angry.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qingyi found Yao Rong and whispered about the hot search and the fact that some netizens were slandering Xu Weiheng.
"Sister Yao, what do you think? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhang Qingyi has heard a lot of gossip about Xu Weiheng during this period.
But seeing is believing, and Zhang Qingyi believes more in the real people she has come into contact with in person than the gossip she has heard on the Internet.
She didn't believe that a boy who was willing to stand up to defend a stranger would be the kind of person who acted like a big shot and fought on the set.
This kindness is worth her trying her best to repay.
Yao Rong frowned.
After she got off the plane, she followed the air police to take a statement, but she didn't expect the video to be on the hot search.
However, since the video has already been circulated, it would be a pity if she didn't do something to follow the trend.
"Can you help me post a Weibo and prove as a person involved that the person in the video is Wei Heng?"
Living in this information society, it is impossible to completely avoid public opinion.
So what she has to do is to help Xu Wei Heng reverse public opinion.
Let's start with this video.
Zhang Qingyi nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was no problem, and then ran to call her parents.
If she were to post on Weibo herself, it would not have much weight, but her parents happened to be journalists. Since they promised to help, of course they would help to the end.
[A City Daily Zhang Hongyu v: To be honest with you, the person wearing pearl earrings in the video is my daughter.
Regarding family affairs, my daughter and I do not want to say too much in public, but there is one thing I still want to explain specifically.
The boy who spoke up for my daughter in the video was Xu Weiheng.
Not only did he speak up for her on the plane, he also testified for her afterwards and even invited her to his hometown to relax. Our family is very grateful to him. @许危衡】
Dad Zhang is indeed a journalist who has been working for many years.
In this Weibo post, there is not a single word to whitewash Xu Weiheng, but he just listed the things Xu Weiheng had done.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see the kindness in it.
Dad Zhang also mobilized his connections and asked many people in the industry to help forward it.
There are many big V personal accounts, and even official blue V accounts.
This reversal completely blew up the netizens.
[What about those who said it was not Xu Weiheng? Can they come out and apologize now? ]
[It turned out to be Xu Weiheng. Oh my god. I suddenly feel that he is a good person, not what I imagined.]
[Single-parent family, father cheated. I am not a fan of anyone, but the words Xu Weiheng said in the video really touched me. My father is such an irresponsible person, but he did something wrong, and in the end he asked me and my mother to pay for his mistakes and suffer because of his mistakes. I just couldn't help but call my mother and told her that I missed her.]
[Suddenly I felt that Xu Weiheng was a little pitiful. His parents are also divorced. He bullied Xu Yiyuan. Could it be that he felt that Xu Yiyuan stole his father away? 】
【Now that you put it that way, I actually think I can understand Xu Weiheng. 】
【+1, I feel inexplicably distressed】
【+10086】
【Bah, is it justified to hit someone? Both Xu Yiyuan's mother and Xu Weiheng's father reunited after their divorce. What do you mean Xu Yiyuan stole Xu Weiheng's father? 】
【Xu Yiyuan didn't take anyone's things away. Is it his fault that he wants to please Xu's father? 】
As Xu Yiyuan's fans left in droves, those who said they felt sorry for Xu Weiheng were gradually relegated to the back row.
However, this kind of forced control of comments also aroused the disgust of many passers-by.
For a while, even Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan heard about it.
The director of "Entertainment New World" rubbed his hands happily, and despite the early morning, he made a phone call to urge the post-editing.
"When will the episode with Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan be edited? Can it be aired next week?"
His professionalism made him want to take advantage of this wave of popularity immediately!
***
After staying in the city for one night, Yao Rong, Xu Weiheng and Zhang Qingyi took the bus back to Ying County early the next morning.
Ying County is a small county town in the south. The most famous attraction here is a waterfall, and the most famous specialties are tangerines and lotus roots.
On the way back to Ying County from the city, you can sometimes see endless fruit forests and sometimes you can see large tracts of lotus lakes.
At almost noon, the three arrived in Ying County.
It had just rained a little in the morning. The sky was even bluer and brighter after the rain. The breeze blowing gently towards them was refreshingly gentle.
Yao Rong led Xu Weiheng and Zhang Qingyi into an alley.
The homestay she opened was located at the entrance of the alley.
It was midsummer, the sun was high in the sky, and the outer wall was covered with lush green ivy. As the breeze blew through the alley, the leaves of the ivy swayed in the wind, full of green.
Yao Rong went forward and opened the wooden door.
The Chinese native dog, who was taking a nap under the grape trellis in the courtyard, heard the movement, barked, trotted to Yao Rong's feet and turned around twice.
Smelling the familiar scent on her, the Chinese native dog rubbed her calf with the tip of its nose.
Xu Weiheng's eyes lit up, and his gaze was fixed on the dog, looking at it with interest: "What's its name?"
"Ping An."
Ping An thought Yao Rong was calling him, and he barked happily and shook his hairless tail vigorously.
There were footsteps at the door, and a dark-skinned old man poked his head in: "Yao Rong, are you back?"
He looked at Xu Weiheng and felt that he looked familiar: "Could this child be..."
"Yes, he is Weiheng." Yao Rong replied, and then said to Xu Weiheng, "His name is Grandpa Chen, he lives next door to us. I haven't been here these days, and it's Grandpa Chen who helps feed Ping An."
Xu Weiheng shouted, "Grandpa Chen."
"Hey." Grandpa Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Weiheng, "This child is really handsome, and looks a lot like you, but too thin. I'm worried that he will be blown away if the wind is a little strong." Xu Weiheng
was a little embarrassed by the teasing.
"Who said no?" Yao Rong said with a smile, "He will stay here with me in the future, and he will grow fat if he is fed more."
Grandpa Chen said happily, "Live with you? Oh, that's really great."
He watched Yao Rong grow up, and they were neighbors, so he naturally knew how difficult Yao Rong's life was in these years, and how much she missed her son.
"It just so happens that my family made glutinous rice balls today, I will bring them to you to try later."
After chatting for a while, Grandpa Chen knew that they had just returned and must have a lot of things to do, so he went back to get a bag of glutinous rice balls, put them on the stone table next to the well, and left without staying to disturb them.
Yao Rong pointed to the room in the corner of the first floor and asked Xu Weiheng, "Is it okay for you to live there? I
live next door to you." After arranging Xu Weiheng, Yao Rong looked at Zhang Qingyi and smiled at her, "The B&B is closed for the time being. The rooms on the second and third floors are empty. You can live wherever you want."
Zhang Qingyi said, "I'll live on the top floor. The light there is the best."
Many daily necessities are readily available in the B&B and do not need to be purchased separately.
Zhang Qingyi did not have much luggage, only a small bag, which she carried upstairs by herself.
However, she was the guest, and Yao Rong, as the host, naturally followed her upstairs.
Xu Weiheng dragged his large suitcase alone and swiped the room card to open the door.
The room was simply decorated, but very spacious.
Xu Weiheng took out all the things in the suitcase, hung them up one by one, and wiped the furniture with a rag before going to the middle of the yard to bask in the sun.
There was a half-new rocking chair under the grape trellis, and Xu Weiheng stared at it for a long time.
With some curiosity, Xu Weiheng sat on the rocking chair with his back straight.
The afternoon sun penetrated through the gaps between the grape branches and leaves, and the mottled shadows of the trees fell on him, interweaving light and dark.
"Woof."
Ping An, who was squatting by the well to cool himself down, stood up and called to Xu Weiheng.
Xu Weiheng tried to wave at it: "Ping An, come here."
Ping An really ran to his feet, grabbed his loose trouser legs with his teeth, and pulled his trouser legs back, as if he was not allowed to sit here.
Unfortunately, Xu Weiheng did not understand its little thoughts, and bent down and rubbed its head.
Ping An looked up at him and pulled harder.
Seeing that it did not run away after being touched by him, Xu Weiheng finally let go of his hands and feet and touched Ping An's fur.
Even though it had rolled in the mud for the past few days and its fur was not smooth at all, and it was not as delicate as the poodle that Xu Yiyuan raised, Xu Weiheng couldn't let Ping An go.
Ping An pulled for a long time and finally got tired. Knowing that the guy in front of him was a difficult one, he silently loosened Xu Weiheng's trouser legs.
It felt very comfortable with its fur being stroked, and lay down at Xu Weiheng's feet, allowing Xu Weiheng to touch it, and wagging its tail from time to time.
Yao Rong and Zhang Qingyi went downstairs and saw this scene.
Ping An smelled Yao Rong's breath, and instantly ran away from Xu Weiheng, jumping towards Yao Rong, wagging its tail enthusiastically.
This enthusiastic look was completely different from the indifference he had just shown to Xu Weiheng.
Xu Weiheng: "..."
I don't know why, but I always feel a little heartbroken.
Yao Rong smiled, squatted down to play with Ping An, and did not forget to comfort Xu Weiheng: "You just came home, it is not familiar with your breath. If you walk it more, it will be close to you."
Yao Rong asked again: "Do you like dogs very much?"
"I like it very much."
Xu Weiheng pursed his lips.
Maybe the atmosphere is too good now, or maybe he suddenly has the desire to confide, Xu Weiheng turned his head and looked at the pink roses blooming in the corner of the yard.
"When I was five years old, I picked up a stray dog on the road. It was very pitiful. I don't know if it had a fight with other stray dogs, but its right hind leg was bitten and bloody. I took it home and wanted to bandage its wound before letting it go."
At this point, Xu Weiheng paused for a long time.
Yao Rong did not urge him, but waited quietly.
"Later, Xu Yiyuan found it and wanted to play with it. I didn't allow him to get close, because it was my puppy."
Xu Weiheng looked at Yao Rong again, his tone calm.
"That afternoon, Xu Yiyuan's mother took him to the pet store to adopt a poodle, and chased my stray dog away."
To this day, he can still remember what Xu Yiyuan's mother said at the time, and her disgust with her hands covering her mouth and nose.
-This stray dog is full of bacteria and is so dirty. Yiyuan, be good. If you want to have a dog, mom will take you to the pet store to adopt one. By the way, where is the nanny? Why don't you chase the stray dog away quickly? It's really annoying. They dare to bring any cat or dog home.
At that moment, a kind of cognition began to take root in his heart.
He was also a cat or dog in that house who could be chased away at any time.
Zhang Qingyi's fists were hardened when he heard this from the back.
Yao Rong patted Ping An, carried it to Xu Weiheng's feet and put it down, chuckled and said, "From now on, the matter of walking Ping An will be left to you, you have to take good care of it."
Xu Weiheng lowered his eyes and smiled, took Ping An, and put it on his lap regardless of the dust on it.
He likes Ping An so much, not just because he likes dogs.
The fact of raising a dog symbolizes that he can be the master of his home, and his beloved things will no longer be thrown away casually.
This B&B is not as luxurious as Xu's home, it is simple and even a little plain.
But everything here is more like a home than Xu's home, and makes him feel more at ease.
Home is a place that should make people who live in it feel warm and relaxed, and become a safe haven for the soul.
After spending some time sunbathing with Xu Weiheng in the yard, Yao Rong went back to her room to take a nap and planned to go to the nearby market to buy vegetables.
She knocked on Xu Weiheng's door and took him with her.
Many stall owners in the market knew Yao Rong. After knowing that Xu Weiheng was back, they were more enthusiastic than each other, and many of them stuffed things into Xu Weiheng's hands.
Garlic, onions, potatoes, etc., although the price was not expensive, they were all thoughtful.
When the boss of the butcher shop was cutting the pork, he directly gave Xu Weiheng an extra piece of meat, saying that it would replenish what you eat, and asked him to eat more meat tonight. Xu Weiheng had never
