Chapter 84: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
"We can't stay here anymore, we have to move tonight!"
This was the only thought in Xie Yan's mind the moment he opened the door.
"Brother Qi Zheng?"
Su Youran was sitting in the restaurant. When she heard the noise and looked over, she saw Han Qizheng, dressed in casual clothes, walking in with a lunch box.
More than ten years have passed, and the skinny boy has grown into a tall and straight young man. His face is no longer childish, but mature and charming.
A light grey jacket, a beige shirt underneath and blue casual trousers exude elegance and calmness in its simplicity and casualness.
His facial features are not as impactful as Xie Yan's that can touch people's hearts, nor are they like Feng Hao's that make people feel that they are not easy to deal with at first sight.
Han Qizheng is gentle, and both his expression and temperament give people the feeling of a gentleman as graceful as jade.
Especially when facing Su Youran, that kind of tenderness seemed to emanate from his bones:
"I just happened to pass by here, and I knew you were back, so I brought you some food."
Xie Yan sneered in his heart, your company is a million miles away from here, and your home is not in this direction either, so why don’t you tell me how it happened that you passed by here by chance?
If you want to be attentive, just be attentive. Why don't you just find an excuse honestly?
Han Qizheng, who was previously criticized by Xie Yan as a smooth talker for not making up an excuse and directly saying that he came to see Su You, said: …
Anyway, you just don’t like me, right?
Xie Yan, who disliked any boy regardless of age, held down Su Youran as she tried to stand up:
"Sit down. He comes uninvited, so he is not a guest. There is no need to be polite with him."
Su Youran stuck out her tongue at Han Qizheng:
"Brother Qi Zheng, have you had breakfast? Let's eat together?"
"Not yet... Uncle Xie, is it convenient?"
Han Qizheng looked embarrassed and put the lunch box on the dining table and opened it.
As soon as Xie Yan saw the packaging, he knew that this was a snack from a well-known old brand in Beijing. There was also a can of soup. Before the lid was even opened, a unique aroma wafted out. Su Youran exclaimed in surprise:
"Chicken feet soup with black beans and peanuts?"
Han Qizheng smiled and nodded:
"You haven't eaten for a while, right? I guess you should miss it."
Xie Yan was silent for a while, then stood up:
"Sit down, I'll get you some porridge."
The dim sum shop and the soup restaurant are very famous in Beijing. There are people queuing up before dawn every day. Ranran likes the things in these two shops very much, and he often buys them for them.
However, one of the two stores is in the south of the city, and the other in the north. If you buy food from one and then rush to the other, the queue is already too late, so it is difficult to get food at the same time.
I don’t know what time this guy got up?
Forget it, since he made Ranran happy, I'll just reward him with a meal.
Xie Yan went into the kitchen reluctantly. Han Qizheng sat down next to Su Youran and winked at her in a funny way. It seemed that getting up in the middle of the night and driving around the capital was very effective. Even the iron wall Xie's father was willing to keep dinner for her!
One word: worth it!
If it could be like this every day, Han Qizheng would be happy to wander around there at midnight every day.
If Xie Yan knew what he was thinking now, he would give him a merciless roll of the eyes and add two words: Hehe.
Why do you think he kept you here today? It was because he knew it had been raining since the early morning, and the rain was heavy. Otherwise, he would not have kept you here even if you had run yourself to pieces!
As for why Xie Yan didn’t suspect that Han Qizheng could ask someone else to buy it for him?
Even though these little men were annoying, after watching them for more than a decade, Xie Yan knew that they were never vague when it came to matters related to Su Youran and would never delegate to others.
Han Qizheng poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Su Youran, mumbling:
"Fortunately it's still hot, drink it quickly."
He looked at the thin knitted cardigan on Su Youran:
"Are you going out today? It's still drizzling outside. If you are going out, remember to wear more clothes."
Su Youran took a sip of her soup and couldn’t help but sigh:
"This one is still the best, not greasy at all."
She looked towards the balcony and seemed to still hear the sound of rain:
"I should go back to the old house and bring gifts to my grandparents."
Han Qizheng combed back her hair that had fallen down due to her lowering her head, and said with a smile:
"Gifts? Any for me?"
Su Youran glanced at him:
"I didn't have any originally, but since this bowl of soup is so delicious, I'll prepare one for you."
Han Qizheng held her hair with one hand and gently touched her forehead with the other:
"Then thank you!"
Su Youran couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She pushed his hand away and casually gathered her hair into a knot.
Unfortunately, her hair was too smooth, and it spread out again the moment she let go. Su Youran pouted in annoyance, and Han Qizheng continued to help her hold her hair with a smile:
"Stop it, just eat yours."
Xie Yan just came out with some porridge. Seeing this, he narrowed his eyes and placed the porridge in front of Han Qizheng:
"I'll do it."
He took out a pink hair tie from his trouser pocket, turned his wrist up and down, and in a blink of an eye he had tied Su Youran's hair into a nice low ponytail.
Su Youran tilted her head back and looked at him with her eyebrows and eyes curved in a smile. Xie Yan raised the corner of his mouth and scratched her chin.
It seems that no one can interfere with the atmosphere between the father and daughter.
Han Qizheng's eyes darkened for a moment. This was the bad thing about having a father who was too young. You couldn't tell the age difference from his appearance.
Looking from his direction, the handsome man and beautiful woman complemented each other very well. People who didn't know the difference would never imagine that they were a father and daughter with a 19-year age difference.
"Uncle Xie, if you want to please a girl, you can definitely do it."
Han Qizheng was very gentle, as if he was just saying it casually. It seemed that he would have to carry a hair tie with him at all times in the future.
Su Youran's smile faded slightly. Xie Yan stroked the top of her head and patted it soothingly:
"Let's eat first. I seemed to hear you say you wanted to go back to the old house?"
Su Youran nodded and continued eating:
"Well, I have a gift I want to bring back."
"Then we'll be back in a bit."
Xie Yan stood behind her. His voice was normal, with no sound unusual, but his eyes fell coldly on Han Qizheng.
His face, as if he was in his early twenties, was handsome and without a single unnecessary expression. Only Han Qizheng, who was being stared at by him, could feel the ruthlessness hidden deep in those dark and deep eyes, which wished to tear the enemy to pieces.
Han Qizheng raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. Well, I can’t afford to offend you!
Question: What is it like for the girl you like to have a father who is extremely outstanding, very difficult to mess with, and a womanizer?
Han Qizheng: It's fucked up! Not to mention that I have been fighting guerrilla warfare with him since I was a child, I can't scold him or hit him, and I dare not even show disrespect. But no matter how much and how well you do, for a father who controls women, thinking about his daughter first is an unforgivable and unforgivable sin! What can you do?
Han Qizheng came over happily and left helplessly. The fence here is strong and can't be broken through for a while. It's better to save money for his wife first. At least the assets should be better than his father's, right?
Su Youran followed Xie Yan back to the Xie family. Xie's father had not been in good health in the past two years and had been resting most of the time. The old house was equipped with basic medical equipment and a private doctor was on call at all times.
The third family members go back to the old house more often. Xie Yan used to feel that someone would snatch Ranran away from him when he came back, so he was reluctant to go back, but now he no longer says that.
As parents get older, no matter how healthy they are, they still hope to see their children and grandchildren more often.
Xie's mother Bai He has also aged a bit, with gray hair on her temples. She has not dyed her hair black, but has let it grow. In her own words:
"That's the mark of time, and no one can resist it. If you dye your hair black, will your white hair stop growing? If it grows, why dye it? Isn't white hair as shiny as black? I think I'm beautiful no matter what."
So Su Youran quite liked coming back, especially when she was with Bai He, she could always feel her unparalleled confidence and aura.
Not because of wealth, not because of appearance, not because of power, just because of inner strength and confidence.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong a person is, once they switch to the role of a mother, they can't help but worry about trivial things.
Su Youran stood at the corner where the living room and balcony met, holding a fruit plate, and listened quietly to Bai He's chattering:
"You are not young anymore. Do you want to live like this after you make up your mind? I am not forcing you to do anything. I just want you to meet her. If it is suitable, then we can get along. If not, then forget it... You have seen the girl from the Kong family before. She is good-looking and gentle. She has a high degree of education and strong abilities. She has been studying in some research institute abroad for many years. That is why she is delayed...
I'm not saying that I like her, it's just that her parents are very worried that she will end up alone for the rest of her life, and you happened to be single, so they mentioned it to me several times, and I had no choice but to agree to let you meet...
You have Ranran, but what happens after Ranran gets married? She will have her own life, and then what will you do...Xie Yan, you take Ranran too seriously, so seriously that she occupies your entire life...Have you ever thought about it? If Ranran is removed from your life, what will you have left?"
Silence... a long silence.
After a while, Bai He's voice was heard again:
"Think about it carefully. It's up to you whether you meet me or not. No matter what, I won't interfere with your life. You live your life by yourself, and you define happiness by yourself. I'm just reminding you as a mother..."
Su Youran didn't listen to the rest of the conversation and turned to go upstairs.
It was raining outside. Su Youran was standing on the second-floor balcony. A cool breeze was blowing in front of her, and the warm room was behind her. The contrast between the cold and the heat made her heart shiver.
She pulled the cardigan she was wearing closer and silently stared at Xie Yan in the corridor downstairs.
He seemed to be in a daze, not moving even when the rain splashed on him. His broad back, which always gave people a sense of security, showed a hint of decadence for some reason.
This was a look that Su Youran had never seen since she met Xie Yan.
Confusion, struggle, and uncertainty almost burst out of his soul.
