"Ai...Ai Qing? Are you with my mother?"
He Tiansheng suppressed his anger, and there was a hesitation in his words. At this moment, lightning flashed in his mind.
Ai Qing is also with her mother, so does she know anything about Wen Liang? What would she think if she knew?
"Yes, Aunt Bai invited me to visit Nanzhi Island today. She said she would like to live on the island in the future. In recent years, the facilities on the island have been improved and there are more and more tourists. Aunt Bai and I rented a small electric car and traveled around the island.
Speaking of which, when I came here as a child, I didn’t have much impression of the scenery here, but now that I’m here this time..."
On the phone, the other party whispered about today's experience around the island. He Tianran did not interrupt, but agreed and listened patiently.
As his girlfriend slowly narrated, the distracting thoughts and anger in He Tianran's mind also disappeared little by little. Although she talked about some insignificant daily things, it seemed that this was mixed with such a narration. The magic power of spring breeze and rain can gently soothe the impetuous people's hearts.
He Tianran felt a little ashamed for suspecting Cao Aiqing's knowledge just now. He could only say that his mother had done a good job in letting Wen Liang participate in the love show in the name of her son, which could not only learn about the two people's situation, but also differentiate them. Their relationship finally allowed Cao Aiqing, his real girlfriend, to talk to him. After this combo, the more Wen Liang liked him, the more hurtful and insulting it would be.
But hasn't she ever thought that Wen Liang is a living person?
As the other party said, even if there is no result between the two of them, it is enough to draw a clear boundary. Why do they still use this to humiliate and offend each other?
On the other end of the phone, Cao Aiqing returned to the original question after finishing speaking:
"Of course, are you going home tonight? If you go home late alone, it will be lonely to cook for yourself..."
He Tianran felt warm in his heart and replied:
"I have to deal with the company's affairs here. You are tired after playing all day today. It would be great if you have uncles and aunts to take care of you when you go home, so don't worry about me. Besides, my mother is going to your house, so I won't go. Oh...this scene, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes my toes clench, you know?"
The girl's giggles came from the phone, along with a sweet complaint:
"Weird look~ This is such a bad description..."
Then, there was silence for a few seconds, and it seemed that they had taken a step or two away. Cao Aiqing's voice came again:
"But it's okay if you don't come. After all, I'm very nervous too. When my mother called me today to ask what time I would be home, I told her that I was with Aunt Bai, so she made a video call with Aunt Bai. We were chatting among ourselves and we decided to go back to my house for dinner today. If you don’t come, my stress will be reduced a lot.”
The parents of these young people have met each other, but the Cao family's parents are more familiar with Bai Wenyu. After all, their daughter was studying in the UK and received a lot of care from her. The two families had more video or online chats at the beginning. , Now that Bai Wenyu has returned to China, although it is not as formal as to regard each other as in-laws, it is indispensable to treat guests and thank them, and to interact in their free time.
However, this situation does not happen every day. After all, Bai Wenyu returned to China not long ago, so the two young people have not yet adapted to the embarrassing scene of two families sitting together and being teased by their elders.
He Tianran smiled and said: "Hey, you are different from me. This is your home. You should be more comfortable. Why are you nervous? Let's do it. Give the phone to my mother. I thought I still had something to say to her just now. explain."
"Well, then don't work too late today~!"
"Okay~"
After agreeing, He Tianran heard a rustling sound on the phone. He could clearly feel that there was a different person on the other end, but the other party did not make any sound, and He Tianran's expression also darkened. He He said seriously:
"Mom, there is something I must explain to you.
Wen Liang is a living person, not the static artworks you deal with in Europe. You won't consider the feelings of an object, but you have to consider the feelings of the person. The artist signs an agency contract with us, not the auction rights. Agreement, I hope you will no longer use my name to help me make decisions. You are here to help me manage the company, not to manage me. And the best time to discipline a person is in his childhood. I think you know what I mean.
Also, I don't care about all the scheming and calculation in this matter, but don't tarnish Ai Qing with this kind of thing called "sophistication", which is actually "low-level work", and then call it the euphemistic name of excluding dissidents. She is good, she admires you very much, if you really like her and approve of her, don't lose your place in her heart! "
"beep--"
This time, it was the other party who hung up the phone first.
…
…
Harbor area, ferry terminal.
"Aunt Bai, are you done talking?"
Bai Wenyu stood at the exit of the pier, holding her cell phone, slightly lost in thought. Cao Aiqing, who was standing aside waiting for a taxi, came over. Seeing her gloomy face, she asked carefully:
"Aunt Bai... naturally he... made you angry?"
Bai Wenyu shook his head and forced a smile:
"No, I just chatted about work and made some arrangements for him. He's just not satisfied."
"That's it... well, let's discuss it if we have anything to do. This is a catchphrase that Ziran often says. He always likes to say things like 'think about it again'. Although he is a bit abrasive on the surface, Hey, sometimes he may not be able to make up his mind right away, which makes people anxious and angry, but in fact he always knows it in his mind. Most of the reasons for hesitation are that he thinks another approach would be better, and the results often prove that he is right. From the looks of it, he and Aunt Bai are the exact opposite of you in doing things vigorously and resolutely~! It's normal for you to have some friction at work."
Cao Aiqing's playful and comforting tone made Bai Wenyu smile. She touched the girl's head and couldn't help but say:
"You kid, you actually comforted me..."
The young girl hugged the middle-aged woman's arms and said coquettishly:
"Oh, what kind of comfort is this? It's human nature. The car is here. Let's get in the car. Aunt Bai, don't be so angry."
Bai Wenyu pinched Cao Aiqing's cheek lovingly and said something that the other party could not understand:
"It's not me who should be angry..."
"Yes, yes~"
The girl echoed innocently, putting her hands down and the two women walked towards the taxi.
…
…
"Wen Liang, please don't be angry first. I think there may be some misunderstanding in arranging for you to appear on the variety show."
In the BMW, while waiting for a red light, He Tianran held the steering wheel in one hand and his mobile phone in the other, and sent a voice message to Wen Liang.
However, during the 90 seconds of red light during rush hour, he did not wait for the other party's reply.
There was a crossroads in front of him. If he went straight, he could go home. If he turned left, he could go to the Medog River Bridge. It was also the direction to the Wenliang Family Martial Arts School.
After the light turned green, the BMW was still parked in place, and the vehicle waiting behind him honked impatiently, seeming to urge him to make an immediate choice.
So, after another four or five seconds, after a brief pause, He Tianran turned in the direction, and finally the vehicle drove to the left.
…
…
"Wen Liang, don't be angry first..."
The female star, who was resting at home today, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, listening to the voice message from her boss on her mobile phone. This was the twelfth time she picked up her mobile phone to play the message.
Only this time, before the voice on the phone finished playing, she threw it aside as if she was disgusted, and said angrily to the air:
"Then what? What about the explanation? What about the follow-up? Why did I misunderstand you? It's been half an hour, and you can't even make up a reason for co-writing, right?"
Obviously, it is very irritating to receive a separate voice message from the other party without any follow-up content.
However, after this burst of venting, the living room became quiet again, and no one responded to her emotions. Only the sound of ping-pong-pang-pang-rang from the TV set could be heard one after another from "The Wild One".
Wen Liang was sitting on the sofa. After venting her anger, her eyes looked a bit lonely and she looked listless. But at this moment, her stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound, and the hunger that followed prompted her to He got off the sofa, went to the refrigerator, and took out a plastic-wrapped box of fruit platter.
"Woof~woof~"
Two dogs barked in her ears. She looked sideways and saw a little golden retriever squatting on the ground, looking up at her with its tongue hanging out, its tail wagging happily behind it.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that it's time for you to eat."
Wen Liang put the fruit in her hand on the table and moved to take down the dog food placed high in the kitchen. During this period, the slippers she was wearing made a clicking sound, and the dog followed her feet. When she saw the owner, Dog food was poured into the dog bowl, and the dog immediately lowered its head and started making loud noises.
The female star squatted next to the dog, watching the little beast working hard, and then picked up the dog food bag at hand and took a look at it. There were several eye-catching ingredients slogans on it: "0 grains, fresh chicken floss, Antarctic krill, egg yolk beef "...
She thought again about the fruit platter she had just taken out, closed her eyes, and sighed again.
"Ding dong - ding dong -"
The doorbell rang, and Wen Liang in the room said loudly:
"Who?"
"express delivery!"
The voice of the courier came through the door. Wen Liang stood up and opened the door. Sure enough, a middle-aged man wearing a courier uniform was standing at the door. Behind the courier, there was another man who looked familiar to her...
He Tianran? !
Wen Liang's pupils shrank, in disbelief...
"Hello, please sign..."
"boom--"
The courier was about to sign for the receipt with a formal smile on his face, but unexpectedly, the security door that was hastily closed almost missed the tip of his nose with a bang...
Inside the door, Wen Liang leaned against the door, breathing rapidly. She was stunned for a few seconds, thinking that she had seen something wrong. Then she turned around, put her eyes close to the cat's eye, and looked out again to confirm.
Outside the door, He Tianran was scratching his head and talking to the courier brother:
"Ahem...what about that, brother, give me the stuff."
He Tianran met the courier in the elevator just now, but he didn't expect that the courier was going to Wen Liang's house. It wasn't until he reached the door of the girl's house that he realized they had bumped into each other.
"Ah, you are a family, right? Your wife almost knocked me when she closed the door just now."
"No, no, no, I misunderstood, I misunderstood, friend, friend."
He Tianran hurriedly explained, but the courier's hand that handed over the items suddenly retracted, and he still confirmed:
"Then what is the name of the girl in the house?"
"The surname is Wen."
The courier looked down at the recipient's information and shook his head:
"No, that's not the last name written by the recipient..."
"ah?"
Just when He Tianran was confused, he heard the courier brother speaking with a dialect accent, frowning and muttering:
"Hiss... I don't think I blame you for not being able to pronounce the name. The recipient is 'The goddess He Tianran will never get'. Forget it He Tianran, you should just give me your mobile phone number."
"Ah...Okay, okay."
He Tianran couldn't help laughing. He took out his mobile phone and looked up Wen Liang's phone number. He and the courier couldn't help smiling.
"Squeak~~~~~ah!"
Suddenly, the security door opened again. Wen Liang's face was filled with despair. The two people outside the door looked at her blankly. The girl took the express from the courier's hand with an expressionless face, and then closed the door again numbly... …
"...Isn't your name He Tianran?"
"My name is He Tianran..."
"Then why does she close the door?"
"If she opens the door, wouldn't I get it... So closing the door now... is reasonable, right?" (End of Chapter)
