Chapter 128 Chapter 128 She actually ignored Bai Qingqing herself...
It's strange, once a person begins to isolate himself from another person in his heart, many things that have been ignored in life will gradually surface like plankton.
I didn't notice it when I wasn't paying attention, but Ningning's... acting details are too poor.
How come she never noticed?
Looking back now, I realize that she was full of loopholes.
"Not fast, Old Tang has handed me the script for more than two months." Ao Xinyi looked at her, and as soon as her calm eyes met Jiang Mu Ning's, her eyes bounced away like a water flea.
Ao Xinyi pretended not to notice and continued, "It just so happened that Qingqing just returned home at that time, so I put this matter on hold. Now Old Tang is urging me, and I have to go for an audition tomorrow, so time is a bit tight."
In just two sentences, Jiang Mu Ning had adjusted his mentality and calmed down, with a trace of worry on his face: "No matter how tight the time is, you must take care of your body. Dean Tang said that you must protect your throat now, otherwise it will be damaged for life."
When expressing concern, the eye contact should be consistent with the previous emotion, and often appears at the same time as the emotion of opposition.
Ningning said something objecting, but her eyes clearly showed a pause for thought and then an isolated expression. Her body language did not match her expression at all.
Ao Xinyi was too exhausted to sigh.
"When we were young and acting, a sore throat was nothing. We could stay up all night on the set even with a fever. Your mother came from that era and was not that delicate."
Ao Xinyi smiled indifferently, as if he had made up his mind to arrange it this way.
Jiang Mu Ning knew that he couldn't change her mind, so he cheered up and said with an encouraging smile: "Okay, I'll help you with the play. Here's the script. Which part are you at now?"
The light in the room was really dim. Jiang Muning looked around and ran to open the curtains a little.
The light at two o'clock in the afternoon was bright, pouring into the house. She turned her head and smiled at Ao Xinyi in front of the window, and saw Ao Xinyi speak calmly:
"The heroine was betrayed by the person closest to her in the world."
The pair of eyes that were looking at her from a distance of three meters were equally calm and silent.
Jiang Muning's heart trembled, and the smile on his face subconsciously disappeared, becoming nervous.
Ao Xinyi would never look at her like this.
She just stood there quietly, watching herself speak, as if those words were spoken to her.
Jiang Muning subconsciously glanced at Bai Shuting who was standing silently beside him, trying to read something from his expression.
Ao Xinyi spoke faster: "Many conflicts and tragedies in the world are caused by misunderstandings. The heroine was misunderstood and suffered some harm from the people closest to her in the world.
This is the part where the two people's emotions exploded and unknowingly brought out the misunderstanding, page 173, starting from the fifth line. "
Ao Xinyi picked up a book from the desk and handed it to Jiang Mu Ning, saying with a somewhat sarcastic tone: "I think this paragraph is not well written. It's obviously just a question, why didn't you ask it at the beginning?"
"Ningning, if they really talked it out, would the person who did the hurtful thing regret it?"
Jiang Muning took the script with both hands in a daze, turned to page 173, and saw that Ao Xinyi had made a lot of annotations on the script.
Jiang Muning looked down at the densely packed lead type in front of him, but he didn't read a single word. He subconsciously turned his gaze to the two photos on the desk.
That was what she had seen in the drawer compartment of Jiang Jin's office.
I didn't expect that Ao Xinyi would have an identical set of photos here.
That’s right, this is her photo, of course she has it.
Why would a man who already has a family keep a photo of someone he loved more than 20 years ago...
Jiang Muning quickly lowered his head and flipped through the script in his hand. He let out a breath and replied, "You will regret it."
"Yeah, so I think it's a pity. It's so difficult to form the closest and most trusting relationship in the world..."
Ao Xinyi sighed with emotion, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He held Jiang Mu Ning's hand and said, "Ning Ning, we are also the closest people in the world. Is there anything you misunderstood about your mother but have never asked? Don't tell Dad, you can ask Mom secretly, okay?"
“…”
At this moment, Jiang Mu Ning's pores really tightened, and he felt that this conversation was too coincidental.
Is it because she feels guilty or is it because Ao Xinyi really discovered something and is hinting at something?
Jiang Muning felt her body temperature dropping rapidly. In the hot July day, her hands gradually became colder as they were wrapped in Ao Xinyi's palms.
But the candle she gave to Ao Xinyi was still on her desk, and the night light was still on the bedside. If Ao Xinyi found out, he would not have left those things so close to her.
Is it really such a coincidence...?
Jiang Mu Ning held his breath and looked at the script in his hand. He kept his expression to avoid revealing any clues and complained in a delicate voice, "Tsk, there is no misunderstanding. I'm just unhappy that someone doesn't take care of his own body and treats himself as a young man and works hard..."
Ao Xinyi snatched the script from her hand, closed it, and urged her to leave: "Go back and rest quickly. You are the one in the family who cannot be tired the most right now."
Jiang Muning originally wanted to stay here for a while longer to get the hair or items from Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting, but now, after being pushed by Ao Xinyi, she was pushed to the door of the room with empty hands.
Jiang Mu Ning wanted to say something else and stayed.
But Bai Shuting, who had been silent the whole time, followed Ao Xinyi and silently sent her to the door: "Ningning, have a good rest."
…
The door closed between the three of them.
Ao Xinyi walked back to the computer, turned on the screen, and the half-played video started playing automatically, and the sound of Bai Yuangar's gardener laughing and talking loudly could be heard.
On the surveillance camera, Jiang Mu Ning approached and several gardeners greeted her. Seeing that she was holding a book and seemed to be going to read, they turned off the water pipe, simply packed up the tools and left.
A dozen seconds of footage flashed by.
Ao Xinyi closed the interface and switched to the real-time monitoring in the corridor in front of the master bedroom door. He saw with his own eyes that Jiang Muning looked in the direction of several rooms on the third floor, and then walked away from her door.
She called Butler Xu and whispered, "Keep an eye on Mu Ning this afternoon and see what she wants to do. Don't stop her."
The phone call was hung up.
Bai Shuting couldn't bear it, so he walked up and gently touched Ao Xinyi's shoulder. He felt that the relationship between their family had changed overnight.
Xinyi values feelings the most, and Ningning was raised by her with that kind of feeling. Now that Xinyi has done this himself, how sad she must be...
"Leave it to me. I'll do it."
"I want to do it myself." Ao Xinyi shook his head quietly: "Have you forgotten what the entertainment industry is like? Have you forgotten where I came from?"
"I am the person who was stabbed in the back by my ex-best friend but smiled and gave her an award the next day. I am the person who dared to marry you even when a gun was pointed at my head."
Two photos on the desk.
One photo was of the scene in which Boss Liu of the Water Gang asked her to wear a wedding dress and marry him in a movie. Bai Shuting, who had not yet confirmed their relationship, broke into the set, and she happily stood up in the convertible and waved to him. This scene was photographed by Jiang Jin and became their love photo, and also Jiang Jin's masterpiece.
If Liu Da had not disagreed with the release of this photo, that love photo would have become a classic still that saved the box office of that bad movie.
Now, unexpectedly, she raised Jiang Jin's daughter.
I never expected that they would end up in this situation with Jiang Jin's daughter...it's really fate.
Suddenly, Ao Xinyi lowered his head and chuckled. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't even cry. He held Bai Shuting's hand on his shoulder and was silent for a while. Then he said:
"Before Qingqing left, she reminded me to stay at home less recently. You and I both know that she was not willing to talk about the allergens directly. I have already told Ms. Xu that I will be with you at the company recently. Don't let it slip."
Bai Shuting nodded.
Thinking of going to Baotong with his daughter, Ji Kui frowned, "Ji Ke and Ning... are engaged to Jiang Mu Ning, and Ji Kui is Ji Ke's uncle, and they are both from the Ji family in Jing City. If he follows Qingqing around... will it be bad for Qingqing?"
Ao Xinyi noticed her husband's address, smiled and let go of his hand, saying angrily: "Alright, what attitude do you want me to put on? It's so stiff, people will notice it later."
But what my husband said makes sense.
According to rumors, Ji Kui is a cold-hearted and cold-faced person, not someone who is so approachable. He took the initiative to approach Qingqing, so he must have ulterior motives...
Ao Xinyi thought, "Qingqing went to Baotong to do some work. People from the Special Investigation Bureau are also there. If Ji Kui has any bad intentions, he has to consider that there are so many people around. It shouldn't be a big deal."
"Anyway, they will be back tonight, and Mu Ning and the others will also return to Beijing early tomorrow morning. It's the last night, so it's okay."
Bai Shuting nodded and asked someone to go into the master bedroom to clean up. After Ao Xinyi changed her clothes, he went to the company with her.
*
night.
Bai Qingqing, who had said she would be home around seven o'clock, was nowhere to be seen. Ao Bai and his wife were absent-minded during their dinner.
No one answered the phone when I called Bai Qingqing and Ji Kui, so I had to send them a message every once in a while. While eating, I would check my phone from time to time to see if my daughter had replied.
Tomorrow morning, Jiang Muning and the uncle and nephew of the Ji family will leave.
Tonight is their farewell banquet.
Aunt Qiao even went into the kitchen herself and prepared several elaborate dishes, including the cherry meat that Jiang Mu Ning ordered.
The scene was originally solemn, but because the two hosts were not paying attention to entertaining the guests, Jiang Muning felt a little embarrassed.
She put a piece of cherry meat on Ji Ke's plate and apologized to him, "I'm sorry, Sister Qingqing hasn't come back yet so late, my parents are a little worried..."
"I understand." Ji Ke smiled at Jiang Muning and looked at her picking up the cherry meat from his plate, unable to help being distracted.
Jiang Mu Ning seemed not to notice the change in his expression. He put down his chopsticks and asked softly, "By the way, Ji Ke, do you know why Qingqing and uncle went back to Baotong so soon?"
Ji Ke came back to his senses, looked at her again, and listened to her patiently.
"The Special Investigation Bureau, Xuanmen, and the Taoist priests from the Yunji Sect are all here, so why do Sister Qingqing and the others have to go back to clean up the mess? Even my uncle has to go to help? There won't be any danger, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ke fell into deep thought.
His people also stayed there. I heard that sealing the evil Buddha went smoothly. Although it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, the whole process went smoothly and it didn't seem to require any external assistance.
When Bai Qingqing left, not only did he not tell his family in detail, his uncle didn't even explain to him. He just said that Baotong had something to do and needed his help, and then he and Bai Qingqing left early in the morning.
Originally Jiang Muning didn't ask, and he didn't care.
Whatever my uncle wants to do, he must have his reasons, and there is no need for others to worry.
Now that he had said that, he recalled the brief conversation between his uncle and Bai Qingqing that he had heard earlier, and he recalled, "It seemed that Bai Qingqing said that she had something to do at Baotong... So, it was not Baotong who needed help from his uncle, but Bai Qingqing who needed help."
"Bai Qingqing has something to say..." Jiang Mu Ning frowned and thought for a while, then realized that he had been neglecting a problem.
Bai Qingqing had changed a lot, and it ruined a lot of her things.
But from Bai Qingqing's perspective, what has she been doing all this time? And for what purpose?
When Jiang Mu Ning thought of this, he was shocked. He realized that since he was reborn, he had never carefully observed Bai Qingqing.
She was blinded by the different situation from her previous life and was too obsessed with her own affairs...
Bai Qingqing's metaphysical abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. Regardless of whether she had any prior contact with Wushang, ever since Bai Qingqing appeared in the Bai family's vision, she has been actively doing things related to Feng Shui.
She is such a lazy person that she would never stand if she could sit down. Even if she sits down, she will lie down all over the place as if she has no bones.
I am only active when I eat...
But such a person, when there is no notice, actually goes out almost every day to do feng shui for others. Is she short of money or...
Probably not.
As far as she knew, Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting gave her a lot of pocket money, and Bai Lincheng would often give her some money, not to mention the things Ao Teng sent to her, which were truckloads of things.
If Bai Qingqing wasn't doing this for money, why was she so active?
If it was for money, what would she need so much money for?
Jiang Muning was immersed in his thoughts and didn't notice the smiling expressions on Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting's faces.
A slender figure ran in from outside the door, put down his bag in a hurry, and shouted: "I'm so hungry, so hungry, luckily you are eating, good evening, Mr. Ji, please continue eating, Aunt Qiao, please give me a big bowl of rice, save the child!"
Bai Qingqing's voice filled the entire restaurant.
Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting relaxed their worries and asked someone to pour her a glass of water and then bring a warm towel to wipe her hands.
Aunt Qiao reacted very quickly. After hearing her shout, she didn't even come to the restaurant to take a look. Instead, she served her a bowl of steamed rice.
Everyone else at the table was dumbfounded. Following the steady and orderly footsteps behind her, they saw Ji Kuiwan walk into the restaurant with a gentle smile on her face and in the corners of her eyes.
He smiled politely at Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting and nodded. Then he glanced at Ji Ke and followed Bai Qingqing, who was the last to arrive, and sat down in the empty chair next to her.
Ao Xinyi watched Bai Qingqing drink a whole glass of water in one breath. He wanted to ask her a question, but he didn't have the heart to speak to her.
He looked at his daughter and then moved his gaze back one step to Ji Kui who was standing beside her. He leaned over and asked, "Mr. Kui, did you encounter any problems on your way back this time? You came back much later than scheduled, and I couldn't get in touch with you and Qingqing. I was so worried."
This time I came back late because I was delayed in Baotong.
It was just a little trouble at the end, but it wasn't an accident.
Ji Kui was about to open his mouth to explain to Ao Xinyi when he was suddenly kicked under the table.
"The plane was delayed." He said, "Qingqing and I both ran out of battery on our phones. We thought we would arrive soon, so we didn't charge them. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Ao Xinyi's expression was somewhat doubtful.
But seeing his daughter nodding like a chick pecking at rice, with her arms and legs intact, and already starting to eat vigorously without stopping for a second, Ao Xinyi felt a little more relaxed, and smiled with a relaxed expression: "So that's how it is."
"I'm so sorry that we have to start the meal first. You must have had a hard time on this trip. Please enjoy your meal, Mr. Kui."
Ji Kui shook his head indifferently, glanced at Bai Qingqing, wiped his hands and started to eat.
