Wen Ling put away the umbrella and reclined it beside the shoe cabinet in the entrance.

Since the evening, the rain has poured down, and there are a lot of light water stains on the clothes just on the way from the gate of the courtyard.

Water droplets rolled down the black umbrella surface and silently penetrated into the floor mat.

The phone in his pocket kept vibrating, Wen Ling folded his fingers, but finally ignored it.

Every time she came back, she felt uncontrollably distraught.

Wen Ling took a deep breath, opened the shoe cabinet, and found that the slippers she often wore were gone. She was silent for a moment, then found a pair of disposable slippers and put them on, then walked into the living room and said "I'm back" to the figure on the sofa.

Mother Wen raised her head, glanced at her lightly, and nodded.

She has an elegant and beautiful face, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Wen Ling's. She was reclining lazily on the sofa in her fitted dark green silk loungewear. He holds an open book in his hand, and there is hot tea brewed on the coffee table in front of him.

Seeing her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she did not show excitement. When Wen Ling entered the door, he didn't even get up to greet him.

Wen Ling seemed to be used to her indifference, sat down on the sofa at a distance, and poured herself a cup of hot tea.

She took a sip, and the warm tea flowed into her throat, dispelling the coolness brought by a little rain.

Wen Ling put down the cup and asked, "Is he not at home?"

"Not here." Mother Wen didn't look at her, her eyes fell calmly on the page. She swept the last few lines lazily, flipped the pages with her fingertips, and continued, "It should be with a certain woman."

Wen Ling looked at her mother's indifferent face, and the emotion in her eyes became more and more indifferent.

At a very young age, she realized that her family was different from other children. When other children come home, their parents will accompany them to do this and that, but her parents are often not at home.

It's not because of work, the two of them have lovers outside, and they usually play their own way.

Wen Ling accidentally broke through this incident after she was in junior high school. At that time, she suffered a huge mental shock. Since then, her three views have been subverted, and she was even in a state of trance for a period of time.

And her parents didn't care, they just told her to keep it secret, otherwise it would affect the reputation of the two of them in the academic circle. As well-known scholars in colleges and universities, they obviously care more about their own career than their daughter's psychological condition.

Later, Wen Ling wanted to understand two things.

First, any intimate relationship is unreliable, not as real as money.

Second, not all parents love their children.

It turned out that the family she thought did not exist, and she was alone from beginning to end. Her parents gave birth to her only because they needed a well-behaved daughter to form the perfect family to outsiders.

After he figured it out, Wen Ling felt a sense of relief. It's good to be alone, and you don't have to worry about anyone, just stick to what you want to do.

So when her parents objected to her entry into the draft, she simply ignored their opinions. She knew that they were not out of concern, but out of the inexplicable self-esteem of the scholars, who didn't want her daughter to be an actor in the eyes of others.

Wen Ling insisted on participating in the draft, and after his debut, he carefully calculated the expenses they had spent on himself over the years, and returned a reasonable amount with interest.

After finally realizing the reality that their daughter would no longer be at their mercy, the two finally gave up and stopped trying to pull their daughter out of the entertainment industry.

Wen Ling thought that they had been separated since then, but did not expect her mother to call her back after knowing the location of the concert.

Wen Ling took another sip of the hot tea and asked, "Aren't you divorced yet?"

Mother Wen paused, and finally raised her eyes to look at her again: "In the world of adults, there are many things that you can't help yourself, and you will understand in the future."

"I'm already an adult." Wen Ling smiled, but her voice was cold, "Also, if you're okay, don't come back to me."

Mother Wen closed the book and threw it aside. She sat up straight, looked over with a half-smile, and said, "Just make some money, do you really plan to stay in the entertainment industry for the rest of your life?"

Wen Ling pursed her lips, "This is my business."

"What's the name of the little girl you're doing business with? Yi Zhuo, right?"

Hearing Yi Zhuo's name being mentioned, those eyes that were like a quiet lake flickered slightly.

Mother Wen said: "does she like you? Don't have anything to do with this kind of person. People from the bottom, no matter how high they climb, are still inferior in their bones and can't be changed. It's okay to play in private, but if you really If we want to be with her, our family can't afford to lose this person."

It's strange to say that in the process of getting along for so many years, Mother Wen has said countless mean things, but none of them sound harsh.

"Home?" Wen Ling sneered, with a rare emotion on his face, "When did we have home? Who am I with and what does it have to do with you?"

Mother Wen didn't expect her to react like this, and was stunned for a moment: "what are you excited about, don't you..."

Wen Ling ignored her, took out her cell phone, made a direct call, and turned on the speakerphone.

Almost as soon as the first beep sounded, the call was connected.

Yi Zhuo's voice sounded clearly, sounding surprised and a little worried.

"What's the matter, captain, are you alright?"

Wen Ling held the phone, turned her face, and looked at her mother expressionlessly.

She said, "Yi Zhuo, I miss you, come pick me up."

***

When Yu Tingbai called her manager to mention Chu Ning, Shen Siqi had an ominous premonition. Because Yu Tingbai glanced in his direction while talking, with fox-like eyes, as if he wanted to sell her in the next second.

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Tingbai put down the phone, he got up and sat over, sandwiching her with An Qing.

Yu Tingbai asked, "Siqi, do you and Captain Chu have a good relationship now?"

Shen Siqi shrank to the side and answered cautiously, "It's alright."

She looked at those beautiful eyes vigilantly and asked, "Do you want me to invite my sister? I can try, but I'm not sure if I can succeed..."

Although Chu Ning chatted with her every day for more than a month, the two of them were just ordinary friends, and she didn't feel how important she was in each other's heart.

Everyone said that the purpose of chatting is to experience a giant wheel and a big spark. In addition, Chu Ning's two younger sisters said that they are not the type that Chu Ning likes, so she has always been quite measured when chatting with Chu Ning.

Shen Siqi is very self-aware, she is a delicate little girl, soft-hearted and loves to cry. To say that she has no idea about Chu Ning at all would be a lie, but in case she falls into it affectionately and the other party doesn't mean it, she will die of sadness.

So to be on the safe side, it's better not to have hope at the beginning, and she is very satisfied to be friends with idols.

Yu Tingbai's mouth twitched, a hint of slyness flashed in his eyes, "Siqi, do you want to make a deal?"

She added: "Of course, everything is for the group. If you don't want to, I won't force it."

When she heard that it was for the group, Shen Siqi was immediately moved. Thinking about it this way, she has a better relationship with Chu Ning than others, so what if I begged her to be a guest at the concert instead of asking her to confess.

So she hesitated: "What kind of deal? I don't do anything illegal."

Yu Tingbai said: "In a while, you will go to meet Captain Chu as I said, and you can say whatever I want you to say. In return, I will be responsible to the end and help you catch Captain Chu."

Shen Siqi: ! ! !

Her face flushed red to the root of her neck, "No, it's not good..."

Seeing her like this, An Qing realized that there was a drama, and quickly said to help: "What's wrong, don't you want Captain Chu to be your girlfriend?"

Shen Siqi said in a low voice, "Sister is so good, I don't dare to think about it."

An Qing said, "Don't worry, when have things that you said you can do in vain fail?"

Shen Siqi thought about it and seemed to be the case, but then questioned: "But both of you are single dogs, and you don't have much experience in chasing people, right?"

After saying this, she suddenly felt the atmosphere was very strange. The two people in front of them paused for two seconds in synchronization, looked at each other, and didn't speak for a while.

"What's the matter, am I wrong?" Shen Siqi said strangely, "We are people who get along day and night. If you two have girlfriends, pigs can see it."

An Qing was stunned, trying her best to hold back her laughter. She wanted to refute the little pig Shen Siqi on the spot, saying that she was too experienced in chasing people, and she had worked so hard to chase her fiancee.

She was thinking about how to implicitly hint at her rich life experience with Xiao Mannei when she heard Yu Tingbai speak slowly.

"I can't say that. Captain Chu has never been in love, and he hasn't written a lot of touching love songs. Talent is more important in this kind of thing. If you haven't done it, you may not be able to do it well."

Taking idols as an example is always very convincing. Shen Siqi immediately turned his back: "Yes, you are right."

So Yu Tingbai struck while the iron was hot: "Then?"

Shen Siqi's heart skipped a beat: "Just do as you said!"

This can't be blamed on her, although she doesn't know what Yu Tingbai wants her to tell Chu Ning, but the conditions offered by the other party are too tempting, even if the society is dead, she will recognize it!

She asked, "So what do we need to do now?"

Yu Tingbai said, "First of all, I want to know how far you have progressed."

Shen Siqi was very frustrated: "I haven't developed yet, just chat casually every day."

Yu Tingbai said, "Then you are halfway there."

"Huh?" Shen Siqi almost bounced off the sofa, she half-believed, "Really? But we talked about daily trivia, like what to eat today, and didn't say anything ambiguous."

Yu Tingbai said: "You think, Chu Ning is not an idler. If she doesn't like you, will she care about what you eat?"

Immediately, Shen Siqi was in a state of empowerment, sat up straight, and appeared to be listening.

"Show me a few chat records between you and Captain Chu, the content is not important, you choose."

Yu Tingbai leaned on the sofa and tapped the phone on the coffee table with his slender fingers, "I mainly want to see what Chu Ning's attitude towards you is now."

Shen Siqi picked up the phone and unlocked it, clicked on the dialog box with Chu Ning, casually pulled out a record from a few days ago, and then handed the phone over obediently.

She said a little embarrassedly: "There's nothing to watch. The things we talk about are quite nutritious. Don't laugh at me."

Yu Tingbai took over the phone and started browsing the chat history. An Qing was already curious, so she hurried over.

Chu Ning: A new hot pot restaurant has opened on Guanghua Road.

Chu Ning: I heard it is delicious.

Qiqizi: Sister, do you want to eat?

Chu Ning: A little bit.

Chu Ning: Xiao Jiang and the others don't have time to accompany me.

Qiqizi: What's the name of the shop?

Chu Ning: The iron pot washes everything.

Chu Ning: There are a lot of people. If you want to go, you have to reserve a private room in advance.

Qiqizi: No problem.

Qiqizi: I'll see if I can buy it from the store.

Qiqizi: Sister, you can go whenever you want!

Then Chu Ning ignored her.

An Qing lifted her forehead, "Shen Siqi, what are you doing?"

"Spend money." Shen Siqi blinked innocently, "If you like someone, you have to spend money on her, what's wrong?"
