Chapter 42: The Forty-first Day After the Character Collapse
Qin Qingqing didn't know that someone had planned it and was waiting to confront her.
She has been busy filming these days.
Yes!
Director Fang Yun's film "Fly" has finally started filming.
Qin Qingqing had a small role, so the filming was done very quickly.
She went back to China and met Liang Chen again. She was filmed showing weakness in various ways, recalling the past, and trying to poach Liang Chen. And finally -
Black Moonlight Han Yueyan, was defeated in the end.
Not only did she lose to the childhood sweetheart heroine, she also lost to Liang Chen himself.
She returned to the country alone and teamed up with other navigators from "The Kingdom", but suffered a terrible defeat in the Formula 1 championship.
And the people who defeated her were the male and female protagonists.
This time, Han Yueyan finally tore off her "well-behaved and lovely" mask and looked at the male and female protagonists in the championship seat for a long time.
Turn around and leave...
Director Fang also stared at the figure on the screen for a long time before he called “Cut”.
Then, a staff member presented a bouquet of flowers.
"Congratulations, my Black Moonlight Han Yueyan, you've accomplished it!"
"Really! I really fell just now... I fell in Han Yueyan's last look at the hero and heroine... That was actually a feeling of relief!"
"It's so strange! She could do anything for her racing career, but when she was defeated, she was relieved..."
"Perhaps, she has tried her best despite everything?"
"So why is it that she works so hard to race, but because her partner gets into an accident, she doesn't get rewarded?"
"She put everything aside and asked her ex-boyfriend for help; she thought he had not forgotten her, but it turned out to be her own fault."
"In the end, I was defeated by my ex-boyfriend and his childhood sweetheart, but I accepted the result and let it go."
"Our Black Moonlight is truly both beautiful and tragic..."
"Who says it's not?"
The staff were discussing this.
But they all sympathize and pity our Black Moonlight.
Qin Qingqing blinked helplessly.
"But no matter what, her behavior of disturbing her ex-boyfriend for the sake of her racing career is not worth learning."
“It will cause trouble for others.”
She said this half-jokingly.
"Okay, okay... got it."
"Then let me have one last moment with our Yue Yan, please?"
"Tie Tie~ I'll go first!"
Everyone smiled.
They took a group photo and said goodbye to Qin gently.
Qin Qingqing comforted everyone for a long time before she was ready to leave——
I met Lin Lan, whom I hadn't seen for a few days.
Lin Lan came with Qi Fan. When she saw Qin Qingqing, she froze slightly at first.
After hesitating for a moment, he greeted her with a slight smile.
But inadvertently, the bruise on his elbow was exposed.
Qin paused.
While pretending nothing happened and being intimate with Sister Lan, he also looked at Sister Lan carefully.
Indeed, suspicious bruises were found on Sister Lan's knees, neck, arms, etc.
Qi Fan domestic violence?
Qin Qingqing had a terrible guess in her heart.
But she hesitated several times and still did not ask Lin Lan in front of the crew - after all, there were too many people and too many eyes.
She finally waited until Lin Lan left alone.
She followed while no one was paying attention.
But in a secluded corner, I found——
"Oh, it finally came out."
"I thought... you were going to tell your best sister everything about yourself."
It was Qi Fan's voice.
Qin Qing paused and hid herself in a corner. At the same time, she quietly turned on her mobile phone and recorded the whole process to prevent any accidents.
But she saw the injuries on Lin Lan's body!
“…”
Facing Qi Fan, Lin Lan did not answer.
This made Qi Fan a little unhappy.
Whenever he was unhappy, he would stare at Lin Lan with his dead fish eyes, which made Lin Lan feel terrified.
“No, no.”
She spoke dryly.
But it didn't please Qi Fan!
Qi Fan's mind was filled with the scene where Qin Qingqing was praised by everyone just now.
Damn it!
Shouldn't he be the one being praised?
How could it be Qin Qingqing who had once crushed him?
However, Qin Qingqing was very close to this woman; he even had reason to suspect that Qin Qingqing had rejected his words in public before because she had instructed her to do so!
Qi Fan felt depressed.
He subconsciously reached out and dragged Lin Lan to the corner of the wall - obviously, this was a consistent, subconscious behavior.
Lin Lan wanted to run.
But all I heard was Qi Fan's sinister smile and uttering two words.
"Yaoyao."
She didn't dare to resist anymore.
Qi Fan's fists had already rained down on Lin Lan - this time, Qin Qingqing had completely captured the "domestic violence of Actor Qi" scene.
She rushed out as fast as she could, cell phone in hand!
"stop!"
Qi Fan froze as he had never expected that there would be anyone here.
Lin Lan was pulled over by a hand.
It’s Qin Qingqing.
She successfully rescued Lin Lan and protected her firmly behind her; then she raised her cell phone and spoke.
"Mr. Qi, if you don't want to see yourself on the trending search list tomorrow, I advise you to calm down."
The veins on Qi Fan's forehead were throbbing.
"Why are you here?!"
"So actually, did Lin Lan confess to you? Or did you two set a trap for me together?"
"Does she really not want Yaoyao's custody rights?"
Qi Fan asked three questions in a row.
Then Qin Qingqing roughly understood: It turned out that Qi Fan used "child custody" as a bargaining chip to make Lin Lan willingly submit to domestic violence!
but--
He didn't know: from the moment he started domestic violence against Lin Lan, did he lose the prerequisite for obtaining "custody rights"?
Unless he is absolutely sure that the child is willing to follow him in this situation.
Qin was silent for a moment.
He glanced at Lin Lan's face again inconspicuously and was sure: this was the case, Qi Fan was sure.
Didn’t you see Lin Lan was already in tears, trying to beg for mercy?
"It seems that Actor Qi is really looking forward to his domestic violence scandal appearing on the trending searches."
"Then I'll help you?"
Qin Qingqing took the initiative to ask before Lin Lan begged for mercy; she ignored Qi Fan's three questions and shook her cell phone before speaking - there was a stone hammer in her cell phone.
Qi Fan's expression turned ugly again.
"What do you want?"
He gnashed his teeth.
Qin Qingqing didn't answer.
Instead, he turned around and took Lin Lan out—
Qin Qingqing held Lin Lan's hand tightly and took her to her car. She lowered the front and rear soundproofing panels and handed her a bottle of water before taking out the medical kit to treat her bruises.
She was not in a hurry to ask Lin Lan what was going on between her and Qi Fan and his wife.
She felt that Lin Lan had to calm herself down first.
After a long time, Lin Lan finally came to her senses and told Qin Qingqing about her condition.
But in fact——
It’s similar to what Qin Qingqing discovered before.
Lin Lan and Qi Fan appear to be in harmony but their hearts are far apart.
The reason for their apparent disagreement was that Qi Fan was influenced by public opinion and believed that he was "all thanks to Lin Lan" for his fame.
Therefore, he became more and more disgusted with Lin Lan.
He hates Lin Lan.
However, Lin Lan still had illusions about him.
Until recently—
Qi Fan started beating her.
Qi Fan would beat her while pretending to be a kind father and gentleman in front of Yaoyao and everyone.
Qi Fan is a complete scumbag with a beastly heart!
But, Lin Lan was entangled by this scumbag.
He always threatened her with Yaoyao's custody rights.
Because he was always good to Yaoyao, as good as a real father; at the same time, he made her become a bad mother in Yaoyao's eyes who ignored her father and her.
As we all know, children have the right to choose to follow their parents after they turn eight years old.
She was in his hands.
But today, Qin Qingqing collected evidence of "Qi Fan's domestic violence" and took her away from him.
It’s Qin Qingqing again, this brave girl.
Lin Lan had a complicated expression.
But——
He met Qin Qingqing's calm gaze.
She also calmed down.
She sighed.
"Thank you so much today."
"Sister Lan, what are you going to do in the future?"
Qin Qingqing grasped the crux of the problem.
It also made Lin Lan fall silent again.
Lin Lan smiled bitterly.
"have no idea."
"But I absolutely cannot let Yaoyao fall into the hands of someone like him. He will not treat Yaoyao well."
Qin was silent for a moment.
He was still very serious and suggested that Sister Lin and Qi Fan divorce.
"But before you get divorced, you'd better find a way to tell Yaoyao the truth."
"Yaoyao is already in middle school. She will know who is really good to her and who will be more beneficial to her growth."
"I……"
"Can you really tell Yaoyao the truth?"
"Will she believe what I say?"
Lin Lan was a little hesitant.
Qin Qingqing spread out her palms——
She handed the "Qi Fan's Domestic Violence" hammer that she had just transferred to the USB drive to Lin Lan.
"She'll believe it."
"This, as well as the injuries on your body, are all evidence."
"……good."
Lin Lan nodded.
Qin Qingqing raised the front and rear soundproofing panels and told the driver to drive directly to the hospital - it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day, she wanted to take Sister Lan for an injury assessment.
After the injury assessment, Lin Lan's condition had improved a lot.
She told Qin Qingqing that she chose to tell her daughter the truth alone, and immediately began to prepare for a divorce.
Qin Qingqing expressed her understanding and cheered her up.
As for her divorce,
Should she choose to directly expose the "black material hammer" and kill Qi Fan; or should she take it slow and use the "black material" as a handle to keep Qi Fan under her control forever?
The choice still lies with Lin Lan.
Qin Qingqing believed that Lin Lan could handle it.
After all, she is a gold medal agent!
The golden agent who brought Qi Fan, a scumbag, from a small unknown to a big movie star!!!
Lin Lan can indeed handle it well.
She plans to release some dirty laundry.
But it was prepared after threatening Qi Fan with divorce with "black material"; after "Fly" was broadcast and Qi Fan thought that they were getting along well.
When "Actor Qi thought he was safe", she would personally remove him from the altar - who said he was a scumbag?
Lin Lan's eyes sharpened.
Suddenly, I thought of Qin Qingqing.
The girl who protected her, cared for her, and taught her to be brave...
Lin Lan thought:
Maybe, when everything is over, she should give Qin Qingqing something in return.
Then, make her famous and deify her?
Her plan was proceeding more and more smoothly.
*
Qin Qingqing didn't know that making her famous was also part of Lin Lan's plan.
She had just finished shooting a new movie and sent her sister Lan to the hospital; when she came back, it was getting dark.
Can--
She hasn't found anyone to accompany her to the "Final Banquet"~
The first person she thought of was her own eldest son!
So he told the driver to go directly to No. 1 Middle School to pick him up after school.
At this time, it is still some time before the end of school at No. 1 Middle School.
She was not in a hurry either.
I was just about to tell the driver to wait...
I saw: At the gate of No. 1 Middle School, a student was fighting with the security guard.
"Husband, Madam..."
"Is the student who got into a fight the young master?"
The driver spoke hesitantly.
"Hmm? Really."
Qin Qingqing saw the student's face clearly.
Get out of the car with the driver immediately and separate them!
When Lu Liye was pulled away by his own mother, he was also stunned for a moment.
But at least...
He stopped struggling and decided to beat up the security guard.
He stood there with a stern face.
His eyes were filled with hostility.
In my ears, I heard Qin Qingqing's confused question.
"What's going on?"
"Why did you fight at the school gate?"
“…”
Lu Liye said nothing.
The security guard also hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.
Qin Qingqing raised her eyebrows when she saw this.
"OK!"
"Since the two parties involved can't explain it, then I will call the principal myself and get the permission to view the surveillance."
"Mrs. Lu..."
Although the security guard felt threatened, he still did not explain the reason for the fight, whether it was because the situation was too chaotic or for some other reason.
Lu Liye still said nothing.
In addition to the hostility, there was even some familiar gloom in his eyes.
Gloomy?
Qin Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.
She had a vague guess.
Could it be that today's fight has something to do with her?
Only when it comes to her does Lu Liye become gloomy and silent - he has always suffered psychological trauma in this regard.
Qin Qingqing did not delay and decisively called the principal.
She finally saw the surveillance video.
In the video——
Lu Liye took the leave application and handed it to the security guard; the security guard registered it while complaining quietly.
"Um?"
"Mr. Lu, you really listened to Mrs. Lu. Have you asked for leave to leave school?"
The security guards are always just spectators.
Of course, I have also seen the first episode of "Little Happiness", where Qin Qingqing asked Lu Liye to "leave school openly and with leave".
“…”
Lu left the field without saying a word.
Seeing that Young Master Lu remained silent, the security guard complained even more fiercely—
"Mrs. Lu is really something."
"How can we allow you to skip class openly on this show?"
"The most outrageous thing is that you did as you were told and your class teacher, Xiao Wang, even agreed to your leave."
"Tsk, you are so pitiful."
"To have a biological mother who is even less responsible than a stepmother..."
A biological mother who is even less responsible than a stepmother?
Lu Liye caught this sentence accurately, and immediately looked up with a sinister look!
When the surveillance video reached this point, Qin Qingqing understood the details; she also understood why the security guard was hesitant and unable to speak just now.
Her eyes swept across the land and the security guards.
The security guard was aggrieved at the time and said in a low voice: "Why, why, I was right at that time, wasn't I?"
He had just finished speaking.
Lu Liye seemed to be enraged and was about to rush forward!
At the same time——
Qin Qingqing heard a crisp sound!
[bite--]
[Main storyline mission 6, please check.]
Qin Qingqing subconsciously checked and suddenly found that this mission was very different from the previous ones.
The system actually let her take a big step ahead and confront the "outrageous" security guard! She only had two or three lines... It looked very perfunctory, like, like giving away pension for free.
[Tongzi, our mission is good, but the time limit is really stuck!]
She only had time to complain to the system; she raced against time to adjust her state and spoke before Lu Liye attacked again -
"Oh……"
"Yes?"
"You are wrong to judge others at will."
"Not to mention——"
“How can I let others judge my own way of education?”
She said this without any emotion.
Instead, it carries a certain air of nobility, coolness, and an air of authority that brooks no argument.
This made Lu Liye stunned.
Taking advantage of Lu Liye's distraction, Qin Qingqing quickly took Haoda'er away.
Slipping very fast.
Otherwise, she was worried that the security guard would react and beat her and her older son together (bu shi).
At the same time——
Qin Qingqing heard the crisp prompt tone again.
[bite--]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully delivering the required plot lines and completing the main plot mission 6.]
[Get pension of 100,000~]
The system speaks well.
It didn't forget to respond to Qin Qingqing's urgent complaints just now -
[Good host.]
[I will pay attention to the task deadline in the future.]
Qin Qingqing did not answer, but took Lu Liye back to the car.
Maybe...
Is she more worried about Lu Liye's psychological problems?
From watching the surveillance, to Lu Liye trying to beat someone up again, to her taking him away first; the gloom in his eyes has been accumulating more and more.
She suddenly realized that she had always underestimated the influence of the original owner on Lu Liye; she also underestimated the impact of the sentence "ask for leave through the main door" on Lu Liye.
She tried to say something to help Lu Liye come out of the shadow of the original owner; or do something to explain to Liye the real reason for "letting him take leave and go through the main gate".
But she found that at this moment, whatever she said or did was in vain...
Maybe, all she can do now is accompany?
Then Qin Qingqing chose to accompany him.
until--
Lu Liye finally spoke with a frustrated look on his face.
"sorry."
He opened his mouth, but it was an apology.
He shrank into a corner, almost collapsing, muttering to himself.
"sorry……"
"I know I shouldn't have made malicious assumptions about you."
"I also know that you are now truly good to me. You have changed."
"But I still believed the security guard when he said that."
"I can't help but wonder: Are you really less responsible than your stepmother?"
"What if everything you do now is just to maintain your image in front of the public?"
"What if you go back to your old self?"
"I……"
When he said this, he choked up violently.
I tried my best to control my emotions, and only then did I have the energy to say the last sentence:
"Am I unworthy of being your son?"
"How could that be? Of course you deserve it!"
Qin Qingqing was surprised and helpless.
Finally, she couldn't help herself and stroked her son's hair to comfort him.
"You are a big boy who beat up the security guard and protected me even if you were tortured inside!"
"Leave the wilderness, I should do this, thank you!"
"Um?"
Lu Liye heard what Qin Qingqing said.
He was slightly startled, then blinked in confusion and with red eyes.
As if asking: "Is that so?"
"yes."
Qin nodded gently.
Then he spoke very solemnly——
"Thank you for protecting me."
This time, Lu Liye was completely stunned.
He didn't expect that after he revealed all the darkness in his heart, Qin Qingqing would actually comfort him and thank him.
He couldn't help but follow her thoughts.
Is that so?
Even though he is like this, in Mom's eyes, he is worthy of gratitude?
The gloom in Lu Liye's eyes dissipated a little.
At this moment, his eyes were red and he looked very pitiful.
Qin sighed again.
"Not to mention——"
"It's normal for you to have such speculation."
"I was not very nice to you before. I should be the one to say I'm sorry."
"sorry."
She spoke again.
"No, it's okay."
Lu Liye murmured blankly.
This time, the gloom in his eyes finally dissipated more than half...
Qin Qingqing was relieved and explained to him the matter of "asking for leave through the main gate".
"and--"
"In the show before, Mommy asked you to take a leave and go through the main entrance. It's not like what the security guard said, that she doesn't care about you."
"But I believe..."
“Believe that you can still learn well even if you skip classes.”
“Believe that you skip classes not to waste time or do anything wrong, but because you have more important things to do than listen to the teacher’s lecture.”
"I also believe that when the time comes, you will tell me everything."
"Right?"
Qin Qingqing said it very gently.
Gentle and kind...
This made Lu Liye stunned again.
He nodded slightly, confirming Qin Qingqing's words.
It was a long time before he raised his eyes again.
The haze in his eyes had completely dissipated; replaced by calmness.
He looked at Qin Qingqing very calmly, and told her everything.
Qin Qingqing then realized:
Lu Liye skipped classes because he had already taught himself all the subjects taught by the school teachers; he even finished all the courses in high school.
He skipped classes mostly to visit Han Zirui's sister, a professor, and ask her questions about astronomy-related courses.
He even...
I have recently been admitted to the Department of Astronomy at University A.
Of course, sometimes he would skip classes to learn racing and take exams - just like when Qin Qingqing saw him in Tianrui before.
Qin Qingqing expressed her understanding of this.
She couldn't help herself and rubbed her eldest son's soft hair.
"You are indeed my most proud son!"
Arrogant...?
Lu Liye was stunned again.
I just felt that all the entanglements and worries I had in the past had vanished into nothing.
His mother is very proud of him.
His mom will never be the same again.
That's great.
*
Here, Qin Qingqing understood the real reason why Haodaer skipped classes; there, the driver also dealt with the matter of "young master fighting".
Qin Qingqing can finally treat her eldest son to a wonderful "after-death banquet"!
*
After a sumptuous feast, everyone's life goes on.
However, Qin Qingqing hadn't seen Mr. Lu, who was obsessed with work, for a long time and missed him a little.
However, there is no longer any barrier between Lu Liye and Qin Qingqing; they can spend time together and have fun in a stable mood without any threat of physical or psychological problems.
only……
The term #戚凡林兰divorce# suddenly appeared on the hot search list.
"It's great that our sister Lan has gotten rid of that scumbag!"
Qin Qingqing whispered softly.
