Along the way, Xu Wan was sitting on pins and needles, looking for thousands of excuses in his mind, but they were rejected one by one.
He won't accept this.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a kindergarten.
Ruan Chen opened the car door and walked out.
Xu Wan saw this was a good opportunity and quickly wanted to follow it.
But as soon as she reached for the car door, she found that it was locked.
Xu Wan: "..."
Soon, Ruan Chen picked up Zhou Jianan and came back. The little guy climbed into the back seat of the car. Seeing that there was someone else in the passenger seat, he tilted his head and recognized it for a long time: "Aunt Xu Wan?"
A smile appeared on Xu Wan's face, and she turned her head and waved to him: "Hello, Jian An."
Zhou Jianan put down her schoolbag: "Mom said that my aunt went away to film a movie. When did you come back?"
"Been back... for a while."
The little guy's eyes were bright: "Will auntie come to our house to play tonight?"
Just when Xu Wan didn't know how to answer, the driver's door opened and Ruan Chen sat on it.
Zhou Jianan looked at him and said, "Uncle, will aunt go home with us?"
Ruan Chen put on his seat belt: "Yes."
Zhou Jianan leaned back in his seat happily: "That's great!"
Xu Wan felt his head hurt even more.
The car drove in the direction of Xinghu Mansion.
With the little guy talking a few words from time to time, the atmosphere in the car is much better than when we arrived, at least it is no longer so awkward and stiff.
Seeing that he was halfway along the road, Xu Wan had no other choice but quietly took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his assistant.
Two minutes later, Xu Wan's cell phone rang.
The other end of the phone said: "Sister Xu Wan, how come..."
Xu Wan held the phone, tilted his head, and immediately answered the message: "What?
Has something so big happened?
I am coming over now!"
Ruan Chen glanced at her.
Xu Wan quickly glanced at the road sign and said, "I'll wait for you at the intersection of Chaoyang Road. Come here to pick me up."
After hanging up the phone, she said immediately: "Something happened over there at the theater. I have to go there right away. You can drop me off at this intersection."
Ruan Chen said calmly: "Are you anxious?"
"in a hurry!!!"
She paused and then added, "I'm very anxious! My assistant and driver will come to pick me up soon. Please send Jian An back quickly."
The car slowly pulled to the side of the road and stopped.
Xu Wan unbuckled his seat belt and turned around and said, "Jian An, I'm sorry, my aunt is suddenly in a hurry. I'll see you and your sisters another day.
Bye-Bye!"
After saying that, she opened the car door as quickly as possible and ran out.
Zhou Jian'an just raised his hand and didn't have time to say the words "Bye".
He lay in front, looking at Xu Wan's fleeing figure, and then at Ruan Chen, his little head tilted: "Uncle, are you chasing after aunt?"
Ruan Chen looked away and drove forward again: "Huh?"
"I heard dad say that you like Aunt Xu Wan."
"When did he say that?"
Zhou Jianan thought hard, but couldn't remember: "It seems... a long, long time ago."
Ruan Chen smiled lightly: "I'm home."
…
After Xu Wan got off the bus, he found a place to stand under the shade of a tree and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are really no flaws in her performance, otherwise Ruan Chen would not have let her go.
Soon, Xu Wan's cell phone rang again, and the assistant said: "Sister Xu Wan, are you at the Chaoyang intersection? We are here now."
Xu Wan looked around: "Yes, I'm here."
She put away her phone and stood there in a daze.
It will probably be better once the tour starts next month...
In the next few days, Xu Wan stayed at the theater every day, and Ruan Chen never came to see her.
It seemed that her deliberate alienation had an effect.
The days seemed to be back to what they were before, dull and quiet, like stagnant water, without any ripples.
On Friday night, Yan Xiang called her: "Tomorrow night is Director Yang's 70th birthday party, will you go?"
Xu Wan nestled on the sofa: "I won't go..."
Yan Xiang said: "From the gossip, it is said that Director Yang retired after filming this movie. This birthday banquet can also be said to be his retirement banquet. I think you should go there."
Xu Wan lowered his head and said nothing for a while.
Director Yang Shan is considered her mentor. He has given her a lot of guidance and help since she started filming.
For both emotional and rational reasons, she should go.
Yan Xiang knew what she was worried about and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's been three years since that incident. No one remembers it. They won't mention it again."
Xu Wan was silent for a while: "Please send me the time and address."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wan fell on the sofa, curling up like an ostrich.
…
On Saturday night, Xu Wan showed up at the hotel door on time.
Because it was the birthday party of a famous director, many media reporters came, and any big name photographed was enough to become a hot search.
After Xu Wan stood across the street for a while, he finally took a detour and went in through the side door.
At the same time, An Yating came in from the front door in a graceful manner, and the two met at the elevator entrance.
An Yating looked at her: "Who is this? Am I right?
Big star Xu Wan, why don’t you go through the main entrance but the side entrance?"
Xu Wan ignored her and pressed the elevator button.
An Yating was crushed by her before, and she stayed quiet for a while because she offended Zhou Cishen. But what happened to Xu Wan happened, and she happily celebrated at home for several days.
Xu Wan has not attended any awards ceremony or reception in the past few years. She was suffocated to death. Now that she finally got the chance, can she not let out a sigh of relief?
An Yating added: "Maybe he did something bad again and didn't dare to go through the main entrance."
At this time, Yan Xiang also walked in: "Oh, I heard a dog barking so far away. What's going on in this hotel? Why are you so careless that you even let the dog in?"
An Yating's face suddenly turned pale and red: "Yan Xiang, why are you so crazy!"
Yan Xiang looked at her in surprise: "It turns out to be you, I'm sorry, I misheard, I thought..."
At this time, the elevator door opened, An Yating snorted, strode in, pressed the door close button, and the elevator immediately rose.
Yan Xiang walked over and touched Xu Wan's shoulder: "What's wrong with you? You actually let her ride on your head. Your fighting ability has declined."
Xu Wan pressed the elevator button again: "Isn't she always like this? Even if she wins or loses, I don't think she will be able to restrain herself next time."
But now she really doesn't have the energy to argue with An Yating about whether she will win or lose.
Yan Xiang smacked his tongue: "That's right. I don't know who shows her arrogance all day long, as if the whole world owes her."
An elevator stopped again, Xu Wan said: "Let's go."
At this moment, a voice came from behind them: "Wanwan, Yan Xiang."
