Chapter 25 I Want to See You Now
Dong Jian was not in a good mood when he contacted Shen Xiaomin. Shen Xiaomin gritted her teeth and told him how shameful and deliberate Du Ran was. She was so angry that she asked Dong Jian to take her to the hospital for a check-up immediately, and also to find the media to expose Du Ran's ugly face. Dong Jian scolded her severely.
"You are so stupid that it makes my scalp numb. Don't you think about where she got the courage to deal with you so openly? You know what good things you have done!"
Shen Xiaomin didn't cry until she saw the coffin. "I don't understand what you are saying! I am the one who has been wronged, but you don't think of a solution for me and you are even speaking for that bitch!"
There was already a murderous look in Dong Jian's eyes. If Shen Xiaomin could see his current expression, she would probably realize her situation at the first moment.
"Do you think Du Ran is as stupid as you? Don't think that everything will be fine if you delete the surveillance video. You hurriedly changed your assistant the day after she started the scandal. If it were me, I would be the first to suspect you."
After the falling out, Shen Xiaomin no longer tried to cover up the truth. "So what? What evidence can she have to prove that I did it? As long as Qin Qi thinks she did it, the Qin family will never let her off."
Dong Jian felt like he was talking to a cow.
In one afternoon, he talked about playing the piano twice in front of two cows.
"Hurry up and apologize to the director, and then to Qin Qi. I don't care how you and Du Ran quarrel, I just ask you not to delay the filming process, and more importantly, not to waste Qin Qi's time. I can tell you responsibly that as long as he is unhappy, you will never be able to film again in your life. Do you understand?"
As soon as Kong Nanzhu got in the car, he called Qin Qi.
"Honey, I was with a talent scout from an agency just now. I met him on the street before. He contacted me again through Qingqing. I have already rejected his invitation."
Before Qin Qi asked anything, Kong Nanzhu had already explained the matter simply and clearly.
Just like a work report.
"Why didn't you tell me you were going out to meet strangers?"
This was the first time that Qin Qi took the initiative to ask Kong Nanzhu to report his itinerary.
Kong Nanzhu was stunned for a moment. Indeed, when she called last night, she didn't say what she was going to do today. She only asked Qin Qi how he was doing on the crew.
"Then I'll tell you everything later. I'm just afraid you'll think I'm nagging you. After all, you're so busy."
The tension in Qin Qi's heart was instantly calmed, "I like you to report to me."
This was the first time that Qin Qi directly and frankly said the word "like".
Kong Nanzhu's heartbeat was unbearably fast. Qin Qi's gentle, smiling face had just emerged in her mind when a banner advertisement of Qin Qi's endorsement flashed past the bus stop sign outside the car window. Kong Nanzhu stupidly turned around to look at the poster and murmured into the phone, "I saw you."
Qin Qi: "What?"
Kong Nanzhu came back to his senses and explained, "Ah, I just saw your poster."
Qin Qi held the phone, his face showing a tenderness that he himself was not aware of, "If you want to watch it, I'll start the video."
Kong Nanzhu hesitated for a moment and glanced at the driver in front of him. "Can you wait for ten minutes? I'll be home soon."
"No, right now, I want to see you."
Even when she's acting coquettishly, she uses such a domineering tone. It's really not cute at all.
Kong Nanzhu coaxed him, "Wait a moment, please. It's not convenient outside."
Qin Qi gradually got used to Kong Nanzhu's gentle and cautious attitude. He knew that she was afraid that someone would see or hear the video outside. But the more cautious she was, the more he wanted to tear apart the layer of rationality that bound her and make her become as impulsive and reckless as himself in their relationship.
He wanted to get more love from Kong Nanzhu, wanted her to show a strong possessiveness towards him, and wanted her to pester him and tell him that she missed him as she pleased.
He didn't know whether she controlled herself too well or Kong Nanzhu didn't have the same mood as him at all. Qin Qi always guessed that a woman's heart was as unfathomable as the sea. For so many years, he had been guarding his love with anxiety and fear, but even today he still felt that there was a membrane between the two of their hearts.
Kong Nanzhu must like him, he knew it.
But liking is different from loving, what he wants is Kong Nanzhu's unconditional love. This kind of love is not mixed with any other reasons, it has nothing to do with Qin Hehai and Shen Jun, it has nothing to do with the friendship between the two who grew up together, but it is pure, a woman's love for a man.
But this is too difficult.
But Qin Qi never dared to ask for the love he had longed for for many years. He knew Kong Nanzhu's temper too well. As long as he made a request, even if Kong Nanzhu had no feelings for him, this woman would force herself to work hard in the direction he asked and try to fall in love with him.
Kong Nanzhu treated their family as relatives, but also as benefactors. From the day Kong Nanzhu stepped into the Qin family's door, Kong Nanzhu made the word "sensible" her life creed.
Qin Qi only has a vivid, smart and lively memory.
All in all, Kong Nanzhu is not the same as he was after coming to the Qin family.
He could understand the shock and changes that a huge family change brought to a person, but Qin Qi still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Kong Nanzhu's feelings for him were sincere enough not to be disturbed by any other external factors, and not to be influenced by any voice other than their own feelings.
From the beginning till now, he had been skeptical about why Kong Nanzhu agreed to be with him. This feeling made Qin Qi, who had to be absolutely sure of everything, anxious.
Finally, the video call failed to go through. Qin Qi received a call from Shen Xiaomin, followed by a call from the director.
Shen Xiaomin apologized to Qin Qi for her injury and the delay in the filming schedule, and pointed the finger at Du Ran. Qin Qi didn't care about the grudge between the two and only asked her one question, "Can we continue filming now?"
Shen Xiaomin was not stupid. Seeing that the other party was not buying it, she immediately said, "Of course, let's go to the set together. I'll wait for you in the hotel lobby."
After Qin Qi got through to the director, the director felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was less than an hour before he called Qin Qi back to film. It was like playing a joke on him. If the progress was not worrying, the director would not have handled it like this.
In Qin Qi's mind, the play was more important than anything else and all other matters were put aside. After answering the phone, he directly said that he would leave for the set immediately, avoiding a series of false exchanges.
After so many days, it was finally the day when Qin Qi was going back to Beijing to shoot materials. Shen Jun arranged for them to go back to the old house for dinner. The two did not hold a wedding banquet for their wedding, nor did they notify relatives and friends in a big way. Shen Jun always felt that this was not in accordance with etiquette, so he invited a group of relatives and friends who often visited to hold a banquet at home.
Kong Nanzhu has never been good at dealing with this kind of situation. She has repeatedly advised Shen Jun not to bother, but Shen Jun insisted on giving her a decent gift and announcing to everyone that she has officially become the daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
Kong Nanzhu had no reason to reject such a reasonable arrangement by her elders. She had to accompany Shen Jun to persuade Qin Qi and behave appropriately and generously so as to uphold the reputation of the eldest house in front of the Qin family.
Qin Qi's grandfather died early and left the family affairs to Qin Qi's father, Qin Hehai, more than ten years ago. The Qin family's current status can be said to be the result of Qin Hehai's painstaking management.
Qin Qi has four aunts and no uncles. Qin Qi is the only legitimate heir of the Qin family, but he has no interest in business and is devoted to acting. His cousins are vying to perform in front of Qin Hehai. Every time they meet, Kong Nanzhu is inevitably courted by these people in turn.
At first, the Qin family had different opinions on Qin Hehai's adoption of Kong Nanzhu, but when they realized that this matter would not change because of the opinion of any one of them, their minds and ideas began to move in other directions.
Whoever can marry this little girl home as a daughter-in-law will be able to get more shares of the Qin family and get closer to Qin Hehai.
Therefore, several of Qin Qi's cousins have pursued Kong Nanzhu one after another , but Kong Nanzhu avoided them whenever possible. It was not until she graduated and under Shen Jun's unconventional operation that she started a nominal relationship with Qin Qi that the controversy of "whoever marries Kong Nanzhu will become the heir" gradually subsided.
The Qin family's in-laws are very powerful, and Qin Qi's uncles are all successful people with great reputation in the business world. From the first day Kong Nanzhu entered the Qin family, she was shocked by this huge family power network. Although they all showed friendly and amiable faces, Kong Nanzhu could feel indifference in their eyes.
Indifference of indifference.
As cold and indifferent as her uncles and aunts.
