Chapter 88 Battle Suit
Information was pushed on the phone very quickly, and Jin Baobao was chattering.
Originally it was just talking about the meeting between the parents of both sides, but suddenly there was a sentence of “Ahhhhhhhhhh…” in it, and Jinbaobao sent a picture.
Bai You opened his eyes and saw the Weibo post from the official account of "Meng's Jewelry".
He felt grateful and warm in his heart, and smiled as he handed the phone to his mother.
"Your Aunt Shen is such a really, really good person." Bai Xiuxi said, feeling so relieved and moved that she was a little overwhelmed. "The children she taught, mother can rest assured."
Her life has not been easy.
She lost her parents at a young age and depended on her elderly grandparents for support. Before she came of age, her grandparents left her again.
It is conceivable what kind of situation a helpless, underage but extremely beautiful girl will face.
Because of this, the casual kindness and help from others made her reveal her true feelings and fall into despair again.
In such a backward and isolated little mountain village, it seemed that everyone lived like that.
Bai Xiuxi had never even been to school, so he could only accept his fate and think that he would just have to endure the rest of his life like that.
But it didn't matter if the man beat her or scolded her, but he almost dropped her baby to death after getting drunk, so she tried her best to escape.
The worst that can happen is death, she thought as she ran out in the dark on the mountain road.
She walked out while begging and picking up garbage while holding her child. She didn't even wash her face properly because she was worried about encountering any special situations on the road. When she was taken in by Jin Lai and Xiao Wei, her face was as black as a potcake.
It was not until she was cleaned that Xiao Wei was shocked to find that she was actually a beautiful girl.
Everyone looked down on her status and thought she was just someone else's nanny.
But Bai Xiuxi never thought there was anything wrong with it.
How much better were the years she spent as the Jin family's nanny than every day she lived in the mountains?
Especially at this moment, looking at Bai You's slightly curved eyes, she was even more grateful for her decision to escape that year.
She was even extremely grateful, because it was because of this child that she suddenly woke up and left that dark place without hesitation.
And outside of that, she has the chance to meet the best people in the world.
Whether it is the Jin family or the Meng family.
At this moment, the public opinion on the Internet began to change, and most people began to realize that the Meng family really liked Bai You.
Although both of them are still young, the Meng family can't wait to make this happy event happen.
After all, the announcement clearly mentioned "wedding ring," and perhaps in the near future, the two will walk hand in hand into marriage.
It was a bit fast and a bit sudden, after all, the relationship had only been exposed for a few days.
Fans cried with joy, CP fans were proud, and ordinary audiences sent congratulations, but some people were envious and jealous to the point of madness, and their words were full of sourness...
However, no matter what, no one dared to look down on Bai You anymore.
After returning home and parking the car, Bai You went upstairs carrying the gift box sent by Shen Yueting.
My phone vibrated. I thought it was Jin Baobao again, but it turned out to be Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi sent a voice message, with a smile in his usually gentle voice: "Congratulations."
Although there were only three simple words, Bai You could especially understand the sincerity and joy in them.
When his relationship with Meng Qingyan was exposed a few days ago, Fang Zhi did not react at all.
Because he has experienced it.
I have experienced all kinds of pressure and suppression during my youth.
Even Bai You was deterred at first because of the precedent set by him and Zhou Xing.
But now, he saw the attitude of the elders of the Meng family, and he was really happy for him.
Bai You listened to it twice before replying with a smile, just as simply: "Thank you."
After returning home, Bai Xiuxi washed her hands before opening the gift given by Shen Yueting: "Your Aunt Shen said that there are two pieces in it, one for your Aunt Xiao."
While dismantling the box, he sighed: "How can she be so nice and considerate?"
When the gift box was opened, there were indeed two velvet boxes inside, one red and one gold.
Inside were two sets of jewelry, one set with rubies and the other with diamonds, from earrings and necklaces to brooches, bracelets and rings, everything was complete.
The light from outside the window shines in, shining brightly.
The rubies are lustrous and warm, while the diamonds are sparkling.
"Oh," Bai Xiuxi was surprised, "this is too expensive."
Not only Bai Xiuxi, but Bai You's heart also skipped a beat.
He usually didn't pay much attention to these, but he knew that these two sets of jewelry were worth a lot of money.
"How can I be worthy of them?" Bai Xiuxi said repeatedly. The best jewelry she had ever worn in her life was the gold jewelry that Bai You bought for her, but because she had to do housework, she just put it away carefully and was reluctant to wear it. Now that she saw these, she wished she could display them as a gift.
"Just keep it if you give it to me." Bai You smiled and asked his mother softly, "Which one do you like?"
"Any set will do," Bai Xiuxi looked at it for a moment and picked out the diamond set. "This set is for your Aunt Xiao. She can match any color to the cocktail party."
"Okay." Bai You said, and heard Bai Xiuxi repeatedly regretting that the gift he gave was not light enough.
Shen Yueting had seen everything, so Bai Xiuxi could only spend more time thinking about it. When she heard Bai You say that she was afraid of the cold, she chose the best wool yarn and knitted a thin and warm shawl for her.
Seeing her regret, Bai You smiled and comforted her: "For Aunt Shen, something you made with your own hands is worth a fortune. She will definitely like it."
"Really? You just know how to coax me." Bai Xiuxi said, but he finally relaxed.
"I asked someone to buy two limited edition bags before. They will arrive in a few days. One is for Aunt Xiao and one is for Aunt Shen." Bai You smiled, "Although it is not as expensive as jewelry, it is also thoughtful."
This is what it looks like when there is a huge gap in family background.
Shen Yueting had no intention of showing off, he just chose the gift he thought was most suitable, but when it fell on Bai Xiuxi, it became brilliant and precious beyond imagination.
Bai You had thought about it before.
Even though Shen Yueting cherished and loved that shawl, he still wanted to make up for it within his ability.
The reason why he chose that bag for Xiao Wei was that, since he was a child, almost all the valuable things he had were bought by Xiao Wei and Jin Lai.
Bai Xiuxi was reluctant to let him go. She had to always consider his future. If he encountered difficulties and needed money, he could not rely entirely on the Jin family. She had to leave him a way out.
Especially after entering the entertainment industry, a circle of extravagance and decadence where people flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, Xiao Wei would take the opportunity to bring him some luxury brand shoes, bags and clothes almost every time she went on a business trip abroad, for fear that he would be looked down upon in the circle for his simple dress.
Bai You remembered all these good things.
He didn't have the ability to buy these before, but now, not to mention the salary and share of the film from Fireworks, the income from several endorsements is not low, so he is willing to spend money on them.
Not just this time, there will be many, many better things in the future.
As they were talking, someone suddenly opened the door and Jin Baobao came back.
“Ahhhhh…” As soon as the kid saw Bai You, he started talking like crazy. He jumped over, hugged Bai You and spun him around a few times. “You saw the picture I sent, right? I’m so happy for you, Youyou.”
Bai You smiled and patted his head to make him quiet for a while.
Bai Xiuxi also smiled, put away her things and went to wash the fruit.
Now it is October, which is the busiest time for the Jin family. Overseas orders are arriving in batches, all of which are rushing to Hong Kong for sale before Christmas. Jin Baobao wishes she could live and eat here forever.
Jin Baobao ate the fruit with a clear conscience, and did not forget to feed Bai You and Bai Xiuxi, while not forgetting to vent his excitement: "You don't know that our classmates are all crazy."
"By the way," he bit a grape, his face full of joy, "Xiao Qiu is back from Paris Fashion Week, and she said she wanted to make a dress for you in advance."
"What dress?" Bai You laughed and suspected that Ye Zhiqiu was just believing everything he heard and was going to make a wedding dress for him in advance.
"The film festival," Jin Baobao said as a matter of course, "Xiao Qiu said you will definitely win the Best Actor award."
“Ahhhhh…” He held up his chin, his eyes shining brightly, “In the future, when I go out, I’ll have two movie kings following me. Oh my god…”
Bai You was amused by him and reached out and tapped his forehead, causing Jin Baobao to cover his head and face with his hands.
"What?" he protested.
"Who is it that is like a mouse seeing a cat when seeing Meng Qingyan?" Bai You teased him, "and you dare to let him follow you?"
"Then there's still you?" Jin Baobao muttered, but soon became excited again, "Xiao Qiu said that she would take a rest for two days to finish the things she was doing and then come over to measure your size."
"The nominations haven't come out yet," Bai You smiled, "Keep a low profile for now."
This year is different from last year. "Fireworks" has reached its best in terms of height, depth, and his own acting skills. It has not been released for half a month, and the box office has exceeded 7 billion.
Although the single-day box office has started to decline recently, it should not be a problem to reach over 100.
It should be one of the best in the domestic box office.
It was indeed a critical and commercial success.
Therefore, many people are optimistic about him winning the award this year.
However, although the nominations have not been officially announced yet, there are already some rumors in the circle that the competitors are most likely some senior veterans with excellent reputations.
Unlike last year’s mentality of being nominated equals victory, Bai You really wants to win the award this year.
His original intention remained unchanged, and he wanted to use this trophy as a betrothal gift to Meng Qingyan.
Although she was not sure when Meng Qingyan started to like her, she was also not sure how he had helped her behind the scenes over the years.
But he knew very well in his heart that he must have done many things for him secretly.
Love is mutual.
We can't let him wait and make sacrifices all the time. Bai You also wants to do what he can to the best of his ability.
If possible, he would like to be the one to propose.
If I could hold that trophy, showing that I am also working hard for this relationship, striving to reach the top, and trying to stand at the same height and shoulder to shoulder with him, then everything would be perfect.
Bai You really wants to get it.
But precisely because he wanted to get it so badly, every time he saw the names of those seniors, he would feel extremely insignificant.
Like a tiny snail, trying hard to climb over the mountain.
After the relationship was exposed, Meng Qingyan transferred a driver from his company to Bai You and also took the most comprehensive security measures for his car.
At the end of October, the first wave of temperature drop began in Beijing, and Bai You put on a thin wool coat early.
His days were peaceful and happy.
The preliminary work for “Gambling Heart” is nearing completion and filming will start around December.
Bai You spends the day studying scripts and attending classes, and at night he stays in the bedroom or study with Meng Qingyan.
That day, he came back from class. As soon as he put down the fresh asparagus in his hand, a message came in from his mobile phone.
The organizers have finally officially announced the shortlist for each award of this year's film festival.
Among the six names for Best Actor, Bai You's name is ranked in the middle.
Bai You looked at the list quietly for a moment, then pushed open the door of the cloakroom.
There is a silver-gray dress in the closet. The entire dress is made of gold and silver threads that are several times thinner than a hair. When it moves slightly, it looks like flowing waves, which is extremely beautiful.
That was the battle suit that Ye Zhiqiu made for him personally.
Bai You lowered his eyes and looked at him, the faint light from the dress reflected in his eyes.
He reached out his hand and touched it lightly, and smiled slightly, not knowing what he was thinking of.
