Zhou Ze was already feeling guilty, and this made him even more frightened, thinking that he had said something wrong. He nodded and bowed: "Auntie, hello, I'm Zhou Ze."
After coming out, Zhou Ze asked Wang Yiyi: "Is our mother dissatisfied with me?"
Wang Yiyi kept suppressing her laughter in front of her mother. She had never seen Zhou Ze so timid. After she came out, she no longer had any scruples. She laughed so much that she squatted on the side of the road holding her stomach, almost crying, "
No, just get used to it slowly."
Zhou Ze took it for granted that Wang Yiyi's words were just to deal with him casually, and became even more nervous. He hid aside and silently reflected on what he had done to make his mother-in-law hate him so much.
After much deliberation, I decided to hide the fact about getting the certificate from both parents and wait until the incident came to light before telling the truth.
After meeting Wang Yiyi's mother, he realized where Wang Yiyi's ability to reject others thousands of miles away came from with just a frown and a smile.
Despite this, he found it strange that Wang Yiyi was not like this ten years ago. She was not only happy and angry, but she could also cry and laugh, and she could love or hate, with all the expressions on her face.
As for what happened in the middle, Zhou Ze has never been able to muster the courage to face it.
But there are some things that don’t mean they don’t exist if you don’t mention them in a self-deceiving way.
Thinking of the past, the two looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Ze touched the cup in Wang Yiyi's hand: "The movie is good, keep up the good work."
Wang Yi was stunned, but she still clinked the glass with him mechanically, put the glass to her mouth, and drank it in one gulp. Her mouth was sour and astringent. She put the glass aside, unwilling to drink anymore.
She understood that he was talking about the film festival some time ago and she was once again not nominated for this film. He was comforting her.
It's strange to say that ten years ago, her famous film with Zhou Ze won the Best Actor and Actor Award at that year's film festival.
It is the best honor for the film that the hero and heroine of the same film win this award at the same time.
This is not the case in the history of film festivals, but very rare.
Those couples all rose to success together, and everything went smoothly from then on.
No exception, except Wang Yiyi.
Since then, things have gone from bad to worse. Many people have even never seen her works and preconceivedly call her the queen of bad movies.
It's amazing to say that each of the movies she has participated in over the years has won some major or minor awards, but she is the only one who has failed every time.
Although most of the awards at major film festivals now require participation in the operation of capital and the influence of fans, the gold content of various awards is not as high as before.
Although Wang Yiyi said she didn't care, after all, she already had the thing that everyone was fighting for when she was eighteen years old.
But investors need it, advertisers need it, brokerage companies need it, and audiences need it.
Ever since Wang Yi entered the house today, she and Zhou Ze had acted as if they had never seen each other outside, just like an ordinary couple, eating together and discussing family matters.
Just like they did before, they returned home and kept silent about things at work.
Zhou Ze also admitted that he was under the influence of Yang Bowen and Lu Bin today. Under the catalysis of alcohol, he became bold and wanted to give it a try.
Will it happen if I leave after filming?”
Wang Yi frowned, intertwined his hands tightly, and interrupted before he could finish his words, "I made the decision, it has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Ze knew that if he continued talking, there would inevitably be another big quarrel, so he had to finish the sentence regardless: "What if I didn't say that in front of reporters at that time?"
Wang Yiyi did not want to destroy the hard-won calm that he had managed to maintain in the past few days. He stood up, looking evasive but pretending to be calm: "There are no ifs. Let me say it again. The decision was made by me and has nothing to do with you."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn around and walk inside.
Zhou Ze grabbed her wrist one step ahead of her, blocking her way back, with scarlet eyes: "Let me ask you, what if I didn't say that in front of reporters at that time!"
Wang Yi stared at him, his smile not reaching his eyes, but his eyes were firm: "Do you insist that I tell you?"
Zhou Ze was most annoyed by Wang Yiyi hiding like this, looking at her condescendingly: "Say it!"
Wang Yiyi chuckled softly, "It's just that we broke up a few days later, or waited until I went abroad, and the long-distance relationship, separated by distance and time difference, ended up breaking up."
Zhou Ze suddenly lost his battle like a deflated rubber ball. He concentrated all his strength on his hands and asked incredulously: "Do you really think so?"
Wang Yi didn't answer and asked instead, his words full of powerlessness: "So what if it is? So what if it's not? It's all over."
"What happens next?" Zhou Ze held on to his last glimmer of hope and refused to let go despite Wang Yiyi's struggle.
Wang Yi shook his head and stopped struggling. At the same time, he also calmed down his anger and said, "Zhou Ze, what I just said is serious. It has nothing to do with you that I have come to this point. I don't need you."
With help, you don’t have to feel guilty.”
Zhou Ze denied it subconsciously, "No, I don't want to influence your decision, and I respect all your choices. I just want you to go on this road more smoothly."
"But I don't necessarily need it," Wang Yiyi smiled bitterly, "I don't know what people outside say about me and how I can play such a good deck of cards. Even the people around me can't figure it out.
There is obviously a shortcut in front of me, but I don't hesitate to sacrifice the near for the far. If I insist on saying that I don't care about these words, it must be a lie, but now I don't worry about losing all day long. I am very magnanimous and practical."
Zhou Ze actually wanted to ask, "What about me?", but he held back because he was not sure what answer he would hear, or he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.
He thought that Wang Yi would cry or make a fuss, then he would know what to do, but he was afraid that she would be as calm and rational as she is now.
When Wang Yiyi walked off the stage today to comfort fans, he noticed Zhou Ze sitting in the corner with his peripheral vision. At that glance, Wang Yiyi was sure that Zhou Ze knew that she had seen it, and this was also the case.
Although she was dazed for a moment, she looked away before anyone noticed that she was distracted.
The words she said next were what she wanted to say before she saw Zhou Ze. She admitted that she had hesitated, and when she turned around and returned to the stage, she made her decision.
She didn't say these words to Zhou Ze, but they were indeed what she really thought in her heart.
Wang Yiyi originally thought that if she didn't mention it, Zhou Ze wouldn't mention it again, just like every time before, pretending that nothing happened.
But tonight, Zhou Ze wants to break the balance between them that has never been stated but both sides have acquiesced.
Zhou Ze silently let go of Wang Yiyi's hand. Whether it was seeing her red wrist or because of his recklessness today, he was the first to lower his head: "I'm sorry."
