Chapter 53: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
Xie Yan looked at his father who seemed to have something to say, then lowered his head and said to the little person in his arms:
"Would you like to follow your brothers to play in the yard? There are puppies there."
Su Youran's eyes suddenly sparkled:
"want!"
Xie Yan waved to Xie Tianhua. After all, this kid was one year older than Xie Tianqi, so he felt more at ease.
Xie Tianhua ran over happily. Xie Yan carefully put Su Youran on the ground and said worriedly,
"Remember to hold your sister's hand, and be careful when watching the dog, don't let the dog bite her. Also, don't go under the sun, be careful of getting sunburned..."
Xie Jin subconsciously looked at his watch. Well, he remembered the time correctly. It would probably be dark in about an hour. You told me to be careful about the sun?
Well, there is indeed a sunset.
But I heard Xie Yan say again:
"Why don't you put on your little cape? It's windy now. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Xie Jin touched his bare arms and felt the coolness of the central air-conditioning in the room. It was at least 30 degrees outside. Are you afraid of catching a cold?
Well, it's cool inside and hot outside, and the contrast between the cold and the hot can indeed cause you to catch a cold.
Today, Xie Yan, who was particularly nagging, was still chattering on and on:
"Tianhua, bring your little sister a small water bottle. She might be thirsty."
Xie Jin looked at the courtyard so close. Did he need to bring water for such a short distance? He could just walk a few steps back.
All right……
What's good about that?! Is it going to end? By the time you finish talking, it will really be dark. Does that mean it's time for you to go to bed again, my dear?
Xie Jin couldn't help but hold his forehead. Is this still his third brother who was always serious, cold and taciturn? Even his wife couldn't talk as much as he did!
Bai He crossed her arms over her chest, with a half-smile on her face. Xie Zuping lowered his head and drank his tea. He was very patient.
Unfortunately, the child couldn't wait. Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianhua looked at each other, and each of them took Su Youran's hand and ran away quickly, laughing as they ran:
"Uncle, I know. We will take good care of my sister."
The laughter of the three little men gathered together, light and pleasant, like the most beautiful music in the world.
Xie Yan couldn't help but curl up his lips, and he didn't forget to shout at the brat:
"Slow down, be careful not to let Ranran fall!"
Even when everyone was out of sight, he was still craning his neck to look over there. Xie Jin couldn't help coughing and took the initiative to bring up the topic:
"Old Three, what's going on?"
He just wanted to finish his words and leave as soon as possible, he couldn't stand this disgusting feeling! Is it a big deal to have a daughter?
Although it is indeed somewhat remarkable...
Xie Jin thought unconvincedly: Who do you think she is? She is also my niece, so she is half a daughter if you round her up!
Xie Yan turned back reluctantly and explained what had happened in a few words. At this moment, he and Xie Jin had the same idea.
He had to finish what he said so that he could go find his daughter. He was worried about others!
Xie Zuping frowned slightly:
"Where's that woman?"
Xie Yan sneered:
"She didn't show up at all. The surveillance camera in front of the Xinghui Building showed that she took a taxi there. She didn't even get out of the car. She just dropped Ranran off and left."
He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and his eyes were cold:
"She is determined not to care about Ranran anymore, so just pretend she doesn't exist. Ranran is still young, and she won't miss her anymore in a few years."
Xie Jin didn't quite understand the woman's mind:
"But why didn't she contact you before? No matter what, you definitely wouldn't ignore your own flesh and blood."
"Why else?"
Bai He casually fiddled with the beads on her wrist. Perhaps it was because women understood women better. She knew the ins and outs of this after just one listen:
"How can showing up actively compare to discovering passively? Raising a child alone with all the hardship, how great it is. Who knows, Yanyan might be so moved that she would give in to her."
Xie Yan is dissatisfied:
"Mom! I'm not that stupid!"
Straight man Xie Jin still doesn't understand:
"Then why now..."
After working hard to raise a baby for three years, if he or she just decides not to want it anymore, wouldn't all the efforts before that be in vain?
Unfortunately, before he could finish his question, he was slapped by his wife:
"Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you that woman is getting married? Do you believe it? The man she is looking for now is definitely no worse than me. They can get married there, but not necessarily here! So of course she will choose that one."
Xie Jin was amazed:
"You women have so many thoughts."
As soon as these words came out, the three women present all looked at him. Xie Jin quickly waved his hand:
"I was wrong, I was wrong. That woman is really scheming!"
Bai He snorted and laughed, not intending to argue with her eldest son who was two-faced. He looked very imposing and was indeed very convincing at work. He had firmly established himself as the deputy director in his thirties.
But in front of family members, he sometimes acts silly. I don't know who he looks like?
The second oldest, Xie Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said three words seemingly out of nowhere:
"Want to check?"
He has nothing but a lot of connections and comrades. Now they are distributed in various departments, so it is easy to check a person.
Xie Yan shook his head:
"No need. From the moment she decided to send Ranran here, Ranran is mine alone. It has nothing to do with her anymore."
He looked towards the courtyard, and through the bright and clean glass door, Xie Yan seemed to see the little girl's cheerful and bright face, and her laughter like a silver bell.
He murmured in a low voice:
"She's mine alone."
Bai He looked at Xie Zuping, who sighed softly:
"What are your plans? Should Ranran follow you or stay here?"
Xie Yan did not hesitate:
"Follow me, of course!"
Xie Zuping looked at him calmly and communicated with him in an equal manner:
"You have to think about it. Raising a child is not an easy thing. It's not just about taking care of her daily life. More importantly, you have to take responsibility for her life. Cultivate her and guide her to be an honest and kind person. Are you sure you can do this?"
He didn't mention anything else, just the reality:
"You've been unavailable for a while now. I guess you'll be joining the crew soon to film, right? Once you join the crew, it will be several months. What will happen to Ranran during this period? Are you sure you can take good care of her while filming?"
Xie Yan's eyelids were drooped, making it difficult to see his expression.
Xie Zuping added:
"Ranran is three years old and will go to kindergarten in the second half of the year. Have you decided where to send her? Can you pick her up and drop her off on time? Yes, there is a nanny, but are you sure you want Ranran to live with the nanny all the time?"
Both Michael Tse and Michael Tse were raised in the old house until they were old enough to start primary school and then started living with their parents.
The eldest and second son are both busy with work. Even now, don’t they often send their children here when they can’t take care of them?
There is indeed a nanny and a driver at home, but the company of family members is something that none of these people can replace.
Can they stop their children sternly when they are naughty? Can they criticize and correct their children when they make mistakes? Can they kiss and hug their children when they need praise?
Neither.
Each question cut Xie Yan's heart like a knife, clearing up his mind which had been filled with surprises since yesterday.
Yes, what my father said was right. His next film has been confirmed, and now he probably has less than half a month of vacation left. Once he joins the crew, the time is really unpredictable, and sometimes he can shoot all night.
Did he want Ranran to sleep alone at night? Whenever Xie Yan thought of Ranran staying alone in the room, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
So...do he really have to leave his beloved baby with his parents?
Xie Yan remained silent, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. After a long while, he stood up, said nothing, and went outside.
Bai He looked at his back, her eyes reddened. She owed this son a lot. Because of her carelessness and negligence, he was forever traumatized.
She tried to make amends, but her son no longer needed it. He clearly separated himself from them.
He is rational, calm, and intelligent, but also cold, indifferent, and distant.
This was the first time in all these years that she had seen him express such emotions outside of acting. He was so happy, so worried, so anxious, and all his emotions were so real.
Bai He couldn't help but say:
"How about I move in with them?"
Xie Zuping patted her hands gently, signaling her to be patient, and that it was up to Xie Yan to decide. In fact, he didn't really want Xie Yan to leave the child here, but just wanted him to understand that being a good father is not that easy.
From the moment he became a father, he carried the weight of a man on his shoulders.
If Xie Yan insisted on raising the child alone, then let him do it. He had to experience it himself to truly understand the dilemma.
If you want to take care of your children wholeheartedly, you have to give up something appropriately.
They had a deep hatred and were full of love for their children. They thought that parents loved their children and would make long-term plans for them. But they didn't expect Xie Yan to figure it out right away.
He looked at his little baby chasing the puppy and playing in the yard. He was happier than he had imagined, with eyes curved into crescents, clear and bright, and a smile like the rising sun, dazzling yet heart-warming.
Xie Yan smiled as he watched. Nothing was more important than the little person in front of him.
Busy with work? Then schedule less time and make more time to spend with her.
Are you afraid of not being able to go home at night? Then try to coordinate your time. Even if it is a necessary night scene, you should finish the filming as early as possible and rush back as soon as possible.
He is not short of money anyway. The entertainment industry makes money quickly, and the assets he has accumulated in the past few years are considerable.
At worst, can't he still rely on his parents? Xie's father is a politician, and he is as clean as water. But Bai He is a famous strong woman. Xie Yan's annual dividend alone is enough for him to lie still.
Xie Yan watched as his baby finally noticed him, and ran towards him happily while shouting "Dad". He quickly took a few big steps towards her, lifted her up under the arms, and threw her up.
Their hair fluttered in the air, and the laughter of the father and daughter echoed in this world.
Xie Yan smiled with unusual satisfaction:
Acting is a hobby, and this little guy is his only love.
The author has something to say:
Oh, I'm so sleepy. I feel like my ears are ringing all the time. I need to go to bed quickly. Good night, my darlings.
