Chapter 97 After so many years of hard work

"Xie Mingchao! I heard that you won the qualification to perform on the same stage as Shen Qing?" His voice was gritted.

The way the question was asked put Xie Mingchao on a level lower than Shen Qing, but Xie Mingchao didn't care. He raised the corners of his lips lightly and responded with a half-smile, "Yeah."

His expression was calm and breezy, but Zhou Chen sensed a hint of provocation at a shallow level.

Zhou Chen was so angry that he asked, "Are you resorting to tricks? Which girl in your class doesn't have a crush on you?"

Xie Mingchao's tone was low: "Shen Qing didn't."

Zhou Chen was stunned and did not answer immediately.

"The drawing is fair, just and open. If you have any questions, please go to the monitor of Class 9 instead of going crazy on me."

Xie Mingchao picked up his schoolbag and slung it over his shoulder, turned around and went down the stairs.

When Zhou Chen came to his senses and said he was crazy, he had already reached the first floor and he could only hold back his breath.

After Xie Mingchao left school, he did not go home directly, but went to a bookstore to buy the original book.

Although the monitor said he would distribute scripts to each participant, he still wanted to respect Shen Qing's favorite works.

When he got home, the living room was dark. He turned on the light as usual, but the living room was empty.

Xie Mingchao's heart tightened, and he ran straight to Chen Ziwan's room without changing his shoes.

The door was wide open and there was no one inside.

He walked downstairs while calling Chen Ziwan.

No one answered the phone, and the elevator he was waiting for didn't arrive, so Xie Mingchao took the emergency exit directly.

When Shen Qing came up the stairs with a yawn, she met Xie Mingchao who was coming down the stairs.

She raised her head and asked, "Where are you going?"

He paused, "How do you take the stairs?"

"Don't you also take the stairs? I thought you knew that the elevator was broken and was being repaired."

"My mother is missing, I'm going to find her."

Shen Qing became anxious and said, "Then I'll go with you."

The two searched the entire community but couldn't find Chen Ziwan. When Xie Mingchao was about to call the police, she walked in cheerfully from the door of the community.

Xie Mingchao stepped forward quickly and held her tightly, "Mom, where have you been?"

Chen Ziyuan was startled, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Xie Mingchao, "Chaochao?"

He asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you answer the phone?"

"My phone is out of battery," she pulled down the brim of her hat guiltily, "I just want to find out if there are any suitable jobs nearby..."

"Did I tell you to stay at home for a while?" Xie Mingchao said in a reproachful tone, "What should I do if I get photographed by those paparazzi?"

Shen Qing's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word paparazzi. Chen Ziwan was indeed too beautiful to be ordinary people, but why was there paparazzi following her?

Chen Ziyuan replied weakly: "I promise I won't do this again."

Shen Qing knew that Xie Mingchao had always been unhappy, and she could tell that he was really angry now.

But this was their family matter, and as an outsider she had no room to interfere, so she could only listen silently.

Chen Ziwan explained aggrievedly: "I really couldn't stay at home any longer, so I wanted to come out for some fresh air."

Xie Mingchao: "If I need anything at home, I will buy it. I don't have to run out myself."

Chen Ziyuan: "What I lack is freedom."

Shen Qing listened to their quarrel and felt that she was redundant, so she interrupted bravely: "Since Auntie has been found, should I go back first?"

Xie Mingchao stopped her: "Wait a moment, I have some questions about the script that I need to ask you."

"Script?" Chen Ziyuan's eyes lit up, "You can ask me, I am professional in acting!"

Feeling Xie Mingchao's warning eyes, she waved her hand carelessly, "It doesn't matter even if Qingqing knows who I am."

Shen Qing asked blankly: "What do you mean?"

Chen Ziyuan held her hand enthusiastically, "It's not convenient to talk here, why don't you go to my house?"

When she learned that Chen Ziyuan was really the innocent little girl in the entertainment industry that Shen Qing thought she was, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Xie Mingchao glanced lazily at the person sitting on the sofa, "I told her not to tell her, she is too scared to speak now."

It wasn't until Li Xin called and asked her why she hadn't returned home after buying an ice cream that she came back from her confused thoughts.

"I'll go back right away."

Shen Qing hung up the phone and stood up, looking at Chen Ziwan with a complex expression, "You have worked hard over the years."

Chen Ziyuan's gentle smile froze, and the grievances she had endured for a long time welled up in her heart, but she suppressed them again after a moment.

Her voice dropped a few degrees, "I'm used to it. My wish now is that Chaochao can live a good life."

Xie Mingchao did not respond, quietly lowering his eyes.

Shen Qing suddenly thought of the three days when there was no news from him during the winter vacation, and asked tentatively: "During those three days, you said it was inconvenient to bring electronic devices. Is it because of exposure?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Every year I go to City B in person to ask for alimony from Xie Ronghua. We agreed five years ago that alimony would be paid regularly before I turned eighteen.

Xie Ronghua has been trying to find out our address, so every time I go to see him, I take a taxi with only cash, turn off my phone, and then go around two cities to get back here."

Shen Qing felt more and more that her growing up environment, which lacked the company of her parents, was nothing compared to Xie Mingchao's hiding in Tibet. She was shocked for a long time and sat back down.

Her heart twitched, "Then Auntie doesn't plan to collect evidence to clarify what happened back then?"

"If there was evidence, I wouldn't have had to suffer the crime back then." Chen Ziyuan sighed: "How could that person's methods leave flaws so easily?"

Shen Qing looked at her steadily: "Auntie, I want to help you."

Chen Ziyuan shook her head gently: "No, Qingqing, I know you have good intentions, but investigation is not an easy task. You are at the age to study hard now, so there is no need to worry about me."

"In the past, it was Xie Ronghua who tried every means to block the news and hit a wall. Now after so many years, he has relaxed his guard." Xie Mingchao's expression was rarely serious. "I think you can consider it."

"Then where should we start investigating? It has been twelve years, and what should have been destroyed has long been destroyed." Chen Ziyuan no longer had any hope in this, "Forget it, don't bother, you will be in your senior year of high school soon." Now, learning is the most important thing.”

"Auntie, let me make an exchange with you," Shen Qing said with a smile, "You supervise our rehearsals, and we will help you investigate. Don't worry about connections, I can ask Aunt Xin to help."

Chen Ziyuan wanted Xie Mingchao to persuade Shen Qing to give up, but he also acted like he had nothing to talk about, so she had no choice but to smile: "Okay."

When Shen Qing returned home, Li Xin was already waiting on the sofa.

Before Li Xin's words of condemnation came out, Shen Qing solemnly said: "Aunt Xin, there is a big matter that I need your help with."

After hearing the whole story, Li Xin put down the feather duster and laughed lightly: "You were so happy when you agreed, but now you know how to beg me?"

Shen Qing hugged her waist and said, "Aunt Xin, please, didn't you also say that Chen Ziwan was your favorite female star before?"

"Okay, I'll help, not only for you, but also for me."
