"Huh? Didn't Director He just recently say that he had a girlfriend? Did I remember it wrong?"
Look, this is a person who is both a writer and a screenwriter.
Teacher A Liu's words were ambiguous. He could advance or retreat or defend. He changed the topic from Tao Wei and He Yuanchong, and made He Tianran instantly become the target of public criticism.
Now, it depends on how He Tianran responds.
This bald eagle was stunned on the spot. Who is Teacher A Liu talking about? Cao Aiqing?
I remember not telling Teacher A Liu about this. Could it be that Sister Taozi and the others told her?
Wait a minute, what does "just said I have a girlfriend" mean? This is not consistent with Cao Aiqing's characteristics. Regarding this matter, he has always said that he has someone he likes, and there is no way he can say what he said to have a girlfriend...
Although A Liu rescued himself from his father's blame, now it seemed that he had been pushed into another pit of fire. He Tianran frowned and said with suspicion and uncertainty on his face:
"You...remembered it wrong, Teacher A Liu...?"
"Did I...remember it wrong?"
A Liu's eyes unconsciously drifted towards Wen Liang. At this moment, the girl really understood. She immediately pretended to be nervous, as if she had been caught at the scene, and helped deny:
"Teacher A Liu, you remembered it wrong, you really remembered it wrong, Director He did not have this matter..."
Good guy, Wen Liang's little expression of denial is just like those artist friends who don't want to expose their relationship too early. Her acting skills are maxed out, for fear that others won't see the tricks hidden in her unnatural expression.
A Liu was also very good at drama at this time, as if he suddenly realized after he said something wrong, he quickly admitted the error in his words and continued:
"Ah ah ah, yes, yes, I remembered it wrong, I remembered it wrong, it doesn't matter..."
He Tianran opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, thinking what are you doing? Is this a cover-up or something? Isn’t this reaction even more misleading?
"Dad, this is really a misunderstanding. I'm really not in love..."
"Ah, I know, I know. You don't need to tell me this. Today's guests are here. Let's put these household matters aside for now. Otherwise, we will be like old feudal people who are constantly urging us to get married. Come on, come on, let's talk about it again. one."
Just as his son was about to explain, He Panshan, who saw this scene, suddenly became very enlightened, as if he was not the one who blamed him just now. He even took the initiative to help He Tianran change the topic and raised his glass of wine.
He spoke, but no one dared to say anything. The words "the guests are present" made Tao Wei criticize He Yuanchong and praise him implicitly.
But in this case, He Tianran's matter could not be explained clearly. When everyone was toasting, something was wrong with the way he and Wen Liang looked. Sui Chulang and Gu Qiaoman thought to themselves, no wonder Wen Liang, who has always been surrounded by black materials, can get This opportunity for S-level resources to come into play, and this situation, further confirmed their previous suspicions.
Xie Yanyan still has fresh memories of the scandal that spread after the filming of Surf Line. Even He Panshan had heard about it. Although the gossip in the entertainment industry cannot be fully believed, looking at the two people's cover-up reactions now , this doesn’t seem to be groundless.
Neither Tao Wei nor He Yuanchong expressed their opinions on this matter. Now that He Tianran is both a director and a boss, having an ambiguous relationship with a female artist under his banner would be embarrassing at best and cannot be brought to the table, but This is not something unexpected or unusual.
So, for certain things, it doesn’t matter how you answer them, because everyone has come up with a “reasonable” explanation from their respective standpoints, and with some preconceptions, everyone feels that He Tianran and The relationship between warmth and coolness is not that simple, even if one of the parties thinks he is "innocent".
Teacher A Liu's words made He Tianran not a human being inside and out. No matter how he explains it now, others will only say "Yeah, I understand." But what he actually thinks in his heart, who knows.
What is this called?
With the cooperation of Wen Liang and Teacher A Liu, He Tianran had yellow mud fall out of his crotch. Who would believe it if he said it was fine?
"Come to Xiaowen and eat some food~"
"Ah...Okay, Uncle He."
He Panshan's look at Wen Liang has obviously changed now. Although he was very enthusiastic towards others before, picking up food is too intimate, and Tao Wei is present, so it is impossible for an old man to behave like this.
But now it's okay. Once the thought "Wen Liang might be He Tianran's underground girlfriend" came to mind, everyone including Tao Wei felt that this behavior was normal. It was not normal for the father-in-law to pick up a dish for his daughter-in-law. Is it something...
"Xiao Wen, are you used to Cantonese food? People in Shancheng probably eat spicy food. I didn't see how you used your chopsticks."
"You're used to it. Uncle He, I've been coming to Hong Kong City for many years and I've long been used to it."
"Ah, how about I ask the kitchen to add some Sichuan dishes for you." After He Panshan finished speaking, he said to everyone present: "If you have anything you want to eat, be sure to tell me. Our family usually eats light food, so this I didn’t even have time to tell the cook this time.”
Well, He Panshan has the momentum to prepare a table of food for one person. Fortunately, others know that this enthusiasm is not directed at them, but is warm and cool. Asking them is just a compliment.
He Tianran couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to defend himself but couldn't get angry. He ignored the others. Anyway, no one would listen if he continued to argue about this matter. Besides, he kept saying that this kind of thing was really not good-looking in such a situation, so he had to pretend. Nothing happened, so he started chatting with others.
Ever since, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the scene turned into He Tianran chatting happily with the two leading actors, Tao Wei chatting with He Yuanchong and Xie Yanyan about work and life, and He Panshan asking questions. After receiving some basic information from Wen Liang, A Liu, who was cooking on the side, would add a word or two to each game from time to time, enjoying himself a lot.
Although He Panshan said that he did not have the conservative ideas of the older generation, some deep-rooted traditional concepts were always unavoidable. As the eldest son of the He family, He Tianran, and his future partner, would not let this person be his father. of heart.
What's more, this can only be seen by outsiders. As the head of the family, He Panshan has too many things to consider.
"Xiao Wen, how long have you been in Hong Kong City?"
"I came here when I was less than sixteen years old. He Tianran, did I come to our class in the first semester of high school or in the second year of high school?"
He Tianran, who was suddenly called, was stunned and subconsciously replied:
"First semester of high school."
"Oh yes, I am the port city where my family moved to that year."
He Panshan listened to the young couple's questions and answers and said unexpectedly:
"Hey, it turns out you've known each other for a long time? We were in the same class in high school, naturally. Why haven't you heard of this before?"
"She... an art candidate, not only takes cultural classes in school, but also attends art training classes outside, so we don't see her a few times in one semester."
As He Tianran explained, he suddenly felt that the more he explained, the more detrimental the situation would be to his "innocence".
"Ah, so your relationship was good at that time?"
"Not good.", "Mediocre."
He Tianran and Wen Liang answered two answers at the same time, then looked at each other, corrected their answers respectively, and once again said in "tacit agreement":
"Average.", "Not good."
"..."
He Panshan and A Liu who were standing by both laughed...
Wen Liang looked at He Tianran and squinted his eyes in annoyance:
"No... He Tianran, although we didn't have much interaction at that time, I never provoked you. I understand when you say 'not familiar', but when you say 'bad', where does this come from?"
He Tianran was also eager to explain the relationship between the two. Unexpectedly, it would be self-defeating now, so he had to say:
"Oh, didn't I change my words... Slip of the tongue... Dad, we really didn't have any friendship in high school. We are not close friends. Wen Liang, do you think there is nothing wrong with me saying that?"
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it."
Wen Liang sneered and admitted this statement. He Panshan nodded and said with a smile:
"I can understand that you didn't get along with each other at that time. Not to mention Xiao Wen, you just had the same personality as you did when you were in high school. I wouldn't even want to be friends with him. It's too boring."
Wen Liang felt as if he had found a close friend, and said happily:
"Right, uncle, he was so bored at the time that he might not even say a word for the whole day. What do you ask him? He can think about it for you for a long time..."
He Tianran never expected that these two people could talk about the dark history of their high school days. He Panshan asked again:
"Then how did you get to know each other again?"
"On the commercial shoot last month..." "When I was about to graduate from college..."
"..."
Good guy, there is a gap of more than three years between graduating from college and last month!
And twice, neither of them answered the same question...
He Tianran really didn't want to explain anything, because the more he explained, the more it seemed like a pair of lovers in the ambiguous period suddenly met their parents without talking to each other beforehand, and they both knew that each other's words were correct. But in the eyes of others, who can believe that there is nothing wrong between these two people?
Moreover, Wen Liang has postponed the time. If we really want to talk about meeting again, it should be the time we went to the snowy mountains in the junior year of the previous year. However, He Tianran was aliased as Xiao Jia at that time, and we met again probably on the night when the band disbanded. .
On that day, He Tianran said that he wanted them to officially become friends and get to know each other again.
Wen Liang regarded this as very important, so when He Panshan mentioned "getting to know each other again", she answered this day without hesitation.
But this node undoubtedly aroused some curiosity in He Panshan, so he asked:
"Who should I trust?"
He Tianran knew Wen Liang was stubborn about this. Some bizarre memories that had flashed through his mind recently made him lose the idea of refuting this statement, so he was too lazy to argue. He could only follow the girl's argument and said:
"Believe her, even though I don't have any impression..."
Wen Liang was overjoyed when she heard it, and her eyes shone with joy. This was the first time that He Tianran admitted her statement, even though he had said that he had no impression of it.
He Panshan silently observed the expressions of the two people. Of course, he did not know the specific details of that day, but he could infer some things from this...
For example, when He Tianran was about to graduate from the University of Hong Kong, he wanted to switch from finance to the film and television industry.
Presumably when the son had this idea, it should have been during the same time period when he and Wen Liang met, right?
His son, who had always obeyed his instructions, suddenly said that he wanted to study film. At this time, he happened to meet a female classmate who wanted to be an actress. And today, three years later, he made his first business investment. company of……
Although He Tianran never mentioned the existence of Xiao Wen to himself from beginning to end, it was all such a coincidence, wasn't it?
Although He Panshan said that he was an outsider in the film and television industry, he was very meticulous about some business operations. When Zhao Chengming did the back-up for He Tianran's investment, He Panshan always saw it first. , and then gave it to my son.
This is not the first time that He Panshan has paid attention to the girl Wen Liang. The first time was last month when she had an affair with He Tianran.
However, the information contained Li Lan's marketing plans for his artists. He Panshan's focus at that time was not on that, but on Bai Lingye, the heroine of his first drama who lived next door to his son.
He Panshan originally thought that this investment was a formal method to get the best of both worlds that He Tianran thought of after "hiding the beauty in the golden house". On the surface, he had no reason to refuse, but after the last dinner, He Panshan He gave up this idea and confirmed that there was no ambiguous relationship between the two people.
Just because that night when he asked Bai Lingye and Wen Liang's son who they liked more, He Tianran answered Bai Lingye.
If He Tianran really wanted to hide it from himself, he wouldn't be so honest.
At that time, He Panshan was sure that his son had a soft spot for Xiao Cao from abroad, and he might really have to be prepared to wait for several years before finally getting married.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wen suddenly appeared today.
With all the clues put together, it is difficult for He Panshan to speculate in this regard. What's more, He Tianran has actually given in to Wen Liang on the matter of acquaintance, which shows that this matter is very important to them. It's so important that I'm not even willing to lie to deny it.
Good boy, it turns out you are hiding here, you are hiding deep enough!
Even I almost didn't see it.
He Panshan cursed in his heart.
Is this a good thing? For He Panshan, this is of course a good thing. If his son's scheming and government really reach this point, then he will undoubtedly be an excellent successor.
As for his son's love affair, it's not that He Panshan doesn't like Cao Aiqing, it's just that it's difficult for him to interfere in young people's affairs. But in terms of means alone, He Panshan, as an "experienced person", really feels that He Tianran is better than Cao Aiqing. I was much "smarter" when I was young...
Of course, He Tianran didn't know that his father would think so much in one moment. In the end, his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness, and he became even more convinced that there was something "dirty" between him and Wen Liang.
Many things are difficult to explain in public. At the end of the dinner, He Panshan specifically asked Xie Yanyan and He Yuanchong to take the two leading actors and the screenwriter teacher to take a walk in the garden outside to visit and take a walk. , just in time to have a cup of tea when I get back.
He Tianran and Wen Liang were left alone to make tea. Everyone realized that it was Shanhai Group's "private" time. The master had the intention, and the guests did not dare to disobey and leave one by one.
Seeing her son leaving, Tao Wei had no reason to stay, so she went upstairs on the pretext of changing clothes. If there was really something going on with He Tianran, there were many opportunities for communication between her and He Panshan's husband and wife. For this person who was not her His biological son, Tao Wei, is not easy to disturb.
So after a while, there were only three people left in this huge living room.
