Chapter 354: Complex Relationships
Qi Zhen remained quite calm. When he heard Meng Chuyuan expose his relationship with Qi Yan, he just chuckled and said, "So you knew it all along..."
Meng Chuyuan explained to him: "I don't mean to pry into your family. I just see you like this and I'm a little worried about your condition."
For some reason, when she saw Qi Zhen in this state, it was a bit like seeing her past self.
Qi Zhen looked at her with a hint of envy in his eyes: "You seem to be nice to everyone."
"When you're out and about, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy." This is her normal social need.
If you can get along, get along with each other; if you can’t, have less contact.
"I wish Qi Yan was half as good as you." Qi Zhen also longed to have a sister who could accept him, but the reality was cruel after all.
"She's actually not bad, isn't she? Aside from her personality being a little hard to judge, she's not a bad person." Meng Chuyuan lowered her eyes to look at the gauze in his hand and said, "Maybe she approves of you in her heart, otherwise I really can't think of any reason for her to treat your wound."
Qi Zhen looked up at the sky and said blankly, "Really? But she doesn't want to communicate with me at all."
Originally, Qi Zhen did not want to reveal his family relationship to outsiders. However, when he learned that Meng Chuyuan already knew about this, he felt that there was nothing to hide.
What's more, they will be recording a show with their family next time. Even if they don't say it now, as the recording of the variety show is exposed, there will naturally be media that will dig into their family background.
“The relationship in our family is too complicated…”
In fact, Qi Yan's parents divorced without telling her or announcing it to the public. The two continued to live together after the divorce. This was for the development of the company and to stabilize the stock price from falling. Secondly, it was also because Qi Yan was still young and they were afraid that she would not understand why her parents divorced.
Later, Qi Rongsheng met Qin Wanyu by chance, and the two began dating, and soon Qi Zhen was born.
However, Qi Yan's mother was still living in the Qi family at the time and didn't know that Qi Rongsheng had a new family outside. It wasn't until Qi Rongsheng wanted to take his son back that he confronted his ex-wife...
Later, no one knew what happened, but Qi Yan's mother committed suicide by taking medicine.
This is all the version Qi Zhen knows, and it was Qin Wanyu who told him. Now he told Meng Chuyuan everything he knew.
"My mom only got the marriage certificate with my dad later. This really puts her at a disadvantage. She can't explain herself to Qi Yan even if she's right."
"When I was little, I loved following her around with my toys, calling her sister, wanting her to play with me. She'd yell at me if I got close. When I offered her a toy, she'd throw it far away. Then I'd run to pick it up, but when I went back, she'd be gone... It wasn't until I could remember that I realized how much Qi Yan hated me..."
Qi Zhen lowered his eyes and said calmly, "She always thought my mother was a mistress, who had interfered with her parents' relationship and treated me as an illegitimate child. Qi Yan also thought her mother's death was related to my mother... Tell me, with such a woman like her, do I still need to please her?"
Meng Chuyuan tilted her head to look at him and said calmly, "You are not wrong about this, and neither is she."
"You were just a child who didn't remember anything back then, and we didn't choose where we were born."
"Qi Yan didn't know about her parents' divorce. In her eyes, Mom and Dad were very loving, as if they were together every day. But suddenly one day Mom left forever, and Dad started a new family without telling her. And this happened after you were born. She would feel that her original family had been broken up, and her father's love was divided into half for you... If it were anyone else, the world would collapse."
Finally, Meng Chuyuan made a summary: "To put it bluntly, the rift between you was caused by your elders. It was their failure to handle these things properly at the time that affected your relationship. You are both innocent."
Qi Zhen smiled bitterly: "No matter how innocent you are, it still can't change the current situation."
"I can see that you cherish Qi Yan as your sister. She also has you as her brother in her heart. You can find another opportunity to talk and get to know each other more..."
——
In the afternoon, Meng Chuyuan participated in the community's graffiti activity.
There is an old residential area nearby. A while ago, a public wall was renovated. Local residents felt that the wall was too empty, so community staff organized a public cultural practice activity and welcomed every painting art enthusiast to sign up.
Hearing that the event was still going on, Meng Chuyuan came over.
She received painting tools from community staff, and after learning about the painting theme, Meng Chuyuan started to get started.
At the beginning, Meng Chuyuan had some problems and the spray paint didn't come out.
She pondered it for a while and felt she didn't quite grasp how to use it, so she took the initiative to ask the person next to her, "Hello, could you please teach me how to use this?"
Afterwards, the enthusiastic person carefully taught Meng Chuyuan how to use it.
[Oh this... I thought Sister Meng was a King, but she's only a Bronze?!]
[Hahahaha maybe this is new. If you want the paint to spray out, you may need to press it a few more times to see the effect.]
Even if you haven't used spray paint before, you've definitely used sunscreen, right? Aren't they all the same? I'm kind of speechless. I can't even use something so simple.
[Huh?? People are criticizing this? Isn't it normal that the paint can't be pressed out?]
After Meng Chuyuan understood, she thanked him politely, found a blank wall where she wanted to paint, and then used spray paint to draw lines and outline the general contours. Each of her movements was very smooth, and she finished all the line drawings in a short while.
Then, Meng Chuyuan filled the blank space with spray paint of the corresponding color, did a second outline, and added processing and embellishment at the position she wanted.
In less than an hour, Meng Chuyuan completed a mural.
Because the photographer was only taking close-up shots, the audience in the live broadcast room had no idea what Meng Chuyuan was actually drawing.
Only after the entire painting was completed did the camera cut to a clear panoramic view——
A wall picture about fire safety propaganda, with two cute firefighters, a fire extinguisher, a big fire underneath, and a line of fire safety tips next to it.
[Oh my god! If this wasn't a live show, I'd have suspected the painting was pasted on... I can only say it's beautifully done. I spent the entire afternoon watching it so carefully. I'm truly happy for them now that I see the finished product.]
[Ahhhhh, this graffiti is so beautiful! ! Does anyone know where this is? I'd love to check it out sometime.]
[The person who just said Sister Meng couldn't use tools, may I ask if your face hurts now?]
As an art student myself, why don't I have such nimble hands? If I had half the painting skills of Sister Meng, I'd be the new Van Gogh!
Oh my god! This is such a great artist! I've seen Sister Meng draw peonies and paper-cut rabbits before, and I thought she was amazing when she was just drawing line art. But now seeing her graffiti is so beautiful, it's making me cry.
The community staff admired Meng Chuyuan's painting, their expressions full of affirmation: "You draw very well, have you practiced before?"
Meng Chuyuan modestly explained: "My major is animation art, but this is my first time trying graffiti on a wall. I think it's quite fun."
"Are you interested in painting for a while longer?" Seeing that she painted very quickly and well, the community staff gave her free rein on the remaining blank wall.
Meng Chuyuan happily agreed: "Okay."
Not long after, Lu Jinsen and Liao Jiayan also came over.
Seeing that there were still some extra tools, Liao Jiayan rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward: "I'm going to play for a while too. Lu Jinsen, do you want to go?"
"You go ahead and have fun. I won't go." Seeing everyone painting with spray paint, Lu Jinsen thought it was quite interesting and wanted to try it too. However, he held back in the end because he had no basic painting skills.
Catching a glimpse of Lu Jinsen staring at them graffiti, his eyes filled with a desire to try, Meng Chuyuan tossed the spray paint bottle in his hand to him and extended an invitation: "Would you like to try it?"
Lu Jinsen perfectly caught the spray paint bottle she threw at him, his penetrating eyes filled with incomparable sincerity: "I can't."
"How difficult is this?" Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, raised one hand over her shoulder, pointed at the wall behind her, and said softly, "I've already drawn the line drawings, you just need to fill in the colors."
"Then I'll try." Lu Jinsen hesitated for a while, but finally chose to step forward.
Meng Chuyuan stepped aside, pointed his finger at a corner, and told him clearly: "This, spray green paint."
Lu Jinsen uttered a soft "oh" and then did as he was told.
[Oh~ Damn! Lu Jinsen, please be so good! I'm losing my mind to you.]
[Sister Meng: You don’t know how? Isn’t it enough to have hands?]
[This guy can't refuse anyone, no matter who he is, Sister Meng, hahahaha, I even suspect he has a sister-in-law complex]
[Sisters in front, don't doubt it, he is /dog head save life]
Under Meng Chuyuan's command, Lu Jinsen quickly filled in all the blank spaces with color.
Finally, Meng Chuyuan was responsible for outlining the edges and adding facial features to the little figures, and the painting was completed.
Even though he was only responsible for the filling part, Lu Jinsen felt a sense of accomplishment. He even couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to take a photo as a souvenir.
Seeing Lu Jinsen taking the photo, Meng Chuyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, asking lightly, "Do you want to sign it?"
Lu Jinsen frowned and said, "I'll sign if you sign."
After all, this painting was not entirely his work, so how could he dare to leave only his own name on it?
"Then I'll sign one." Meng Chuyuan picked up the spray paint again and found a suitable place to spray his name on it.
She used an artistic signature and even added some creativity to make the signature look better.
When it was Lu Jinsen's turn to sign, he deliberately chose grass green spray paint, then squatted down and wrote his name at the bottom of the corner.
Is there any room for rent in this neighborhood? I'd love to move in so I can see their signatures every day.
[Honestly, Sister Meng's handwriting is so beautiful, even prettier than celebrities' signatures!]
[Why are you signing autographs when you're fine? Are you trying to make me jealous?]
