Chapter 47: rain at night
This party is nothing but the 70th birthday of an old artist.
The old artist was a famous Peking Opera actor in China when he was young. He has been to many countries for exchange and study, and has performed on the stage in major world-renowned theaters.
Later, she got married and had children, and slowly retired to the background. She just stepped down from the position of director of the National Peking Opera House two years ago.
Her husband, surnamed Huo, is a businessman with a son and a daughter.
And the son gave birth to only one child.
So in total, Huo Xingchao is such a grandson.
Well, that's right, the important party that Huo Xingchao desperately needs a female companion to attend is his grandma's birthday party.
When Shi Yusheng was notified of the news, she had already followed him to the entrance of the lobby. She was still walking in a majestic manner, but her ears heard a man saying, "I'll go and say a birthday to my grandma later." At that time, he couldn't help moving, and then stopped in surprise, "Your grandma is also coming to this party?"
"yes."
Huo Xingchao nodded and stuffed the phone into her bag, "My grandma's own birthday party, how could she not come."
......
The little girl was stunned.
She looked at the brightly lit banquet scene in front of her and stammered, "You, you, you don't joke with me!"
"I'm not kidding you."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Is there a difference between telling you earlier and telling you now?"
"I-I-I didn't even prepare a birthday present, so I just went in empty-handed?!"
"It's okay, I have it. Just prepare one for the two of us. My grandma doesn't care about such a little gift."
"..."
The sound of the rain was almost mad at him, so irritable that he called out his full name, "Huo Xingchao, do you know what it means to bring a woman to grandma's birthday party and only prepare a gift?"
"I know."
Huo Xingchao took her hand, and his brows were full of a dashing smile, "So I want to give you an endorsement."
......
Otherwise, why is it said that the most shrewd person in the world is a businessman.
Because they never lose.
Have you ever bought that giant Ferrero?
- Oversized, super spectacular, the kind that I thought I could eat for seven days when I placed the order.
Even when you unpack and see the outermost chocolate shell, you think you're about to have a great chocolate time, and you want to give a big thumbs up to whoever made the giant Ferrero.
Then you cut it open, crackling.
—It was hollow inside, with two tip Ferrero scattered, in a pile of broken chocolate shells, looking weak and pitiful.
And it's less than ten dollars in total.
At that time, did you feel a sense of anger at being deceived? Want to throw this chocolate in the producer's face and ask him to give you the money back?
That's right, the sound of drizzling rain is what it feels like now.
She followed Huo Xingchao with a smile on her face, wearing a light red one-piece sleeveless skirt and black curly hair shawl, very elegant and generous.
Because today was the 70th birthday of the old man, Huo Xingchao specially dyed his hair back to black. He had a tall and straight body and a handsome face.
"Grandma, happy birthday, this is our present to you."
Grandma Huo sat at the table, took the gift box in his hand, opened it on the spot with a smile, and found a set of diamond jewelry inside.
Pink diamonds, shining in the light, very beautiful.
In fact, most people don't understand Grandma Huo's preferences, and they think that it is more appropriate to send jadeite, but although Grandma Huo is so old, she still has a beautiful girlish heart.
She particularly likes diamonds, especially pink diamonds. She once pulled Huo Xingchao and said, "When you get married, I will give all these jewelry to your daughter-in-law. They must be young people who like it too."
......
He bent his lips, took off one of the necklaces, put it on the empty neck of the old man with his own hands, and spoke in her ear with a very gentle voice,
"Grandma, we designed this ourselves. If you like it, I will give you a set of this kind of jewelry every year in the future."
"Okay. As long as it's your design, grandma likes it."
Grandma Huo smiled and took Shi Yusheng's hand and patted it, "but grandma hopes you can give grandma other gifts. Star Dynasty, grandma's only wish now is to see my great-grandson born with her own eyes. Then hug him and grandma will be satisfied."
Huo Xingchao laughed,
"I promise, you can not only see him born, but also see him grow up, you know, I am the most impatient to take a child, and when he is a little older and can walk on his own, I will send him to you. Let you help us with it, okay?"
"Good, good, of course good..."
......
do not know why.
When Huo Xingchao said these words, many people around heard them. There are bigwigs in the business world and political circles, as well as movie stars and queens in the circle, and they all cast a veiled look at her.
According to Shi Yusheng's previous character, even if she didn't directly refute, she wouldn't choose to cooperate with him to ruin her reputation.
But at that moment, when she looked at the gentle and gentle movements in the man's eyes, and watched him gently wipe away the tears from the corners of the old man's eyes, she suddenly had the urge to cry.
So she blinked, held back her tears, and showed a shallow smile, "Grandma, you look so pretty in this necklace."
......
"I can give your acting a hundred percent today."
On the terrace next to the banquet hall, the man held a glass of wine and raised his eyebrows at her with a smile in his tone.
Di Yusheng raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Of course, I'm a professional."
The old man's body couldn't last too long, the banquet didn't start long, and all the guests who had a background were celebrating their birthdays, so Grandpa Huo and Huo Xingchao helped her down to rest.
Di Yusheng followed him the whole time, and felt that Huo Xingchao at this time was simply a warm-hearted little boy.
But she was a little curious and asked him, "Are you being urged to marry by your family? Why do you have to bring a female companion back to celebrate your birthday?"
"No one at home urged me."
The man took a sip of wine and leaned against the railing on the terrace, "I just want to make her happy while the old man can still see it."
......
Shi Yusheng dared not speak.
Because the content of this sentence is ambiguous, she is very afraid of saying something wrong.
"Actually, it's nothing. She has stomach cancer, but she can't operate because of her old age. The doctor said that if the situation is controlled well, it is estimated that it will take another year. Her wish after the age of 60 is to hope that I will deliver it sooner. girlfriend, then get married and have kids."
The little girl pursed her lips and said cautiously, "...Oh."
To be honest, she didn't know what it was like to be separated from life and death. Because up to now, the relatives and friends she loves are still alive and well, and no one has brought her such a deep parting.
But she has acted in some TV dramas, and the characters in them have experienced the death of their relatives. She tried to understand and even went to the hospital to observe them secretly. The kind of onlookers made people feel heartbreaking, and she couldn't help but start to sympathize with Huo Huo. The star is coming.
She thought about it for a while, and decided that a good person will do it to the end, and patted him on the shoulder, very grand,
"Well, next time you want me to do this kind of help, just say it, I'll do the labor for free."
In fact, after all, she was quite grateful to Huo Xingchao.
—Really, a lot of times.
At the very least, it was his gags and the huge debt hanging over her head that made her temporarily ignore the pain of her ex-boyfriend's cheating breakup. It is also because of his support that she can retaliate against her ex-boyfriend unscrupulously.
She thought about it later and estimated that the audition opportunity for "The Lost World" was also handed to her because of him.
There are also endorsements. To be honest, Shi Yusheng didn't plan to come to the party at first, but as soon as Ketive's name was reported, she reacted for three seconds, almost subconsciously agreeing.
Later, when the K party sent someone over to discuss the contract in detail, even the company was shocked.
Because Di Yusheng always thought that this endorsement was an endorsement in China. After all, it was a very high-quality resource for her.
As a result, she later found out that she was the spokesperson of the whole world.
What is the concept.
Well, one of the four great actresses, Luo Yi, who has won the prestigious award, is now the spokesperson for Ketive's Asia-Pacific region. That is to say, she only needed to attend a party, and she easily passed the seniors above and obtained the global endorsement resources of international first-line brands.
When signing the contract, the little girl thought in her heart: How big is this big guy! Since he is such a big guy, he still has to worry about her mere 16 million for wool? If she had more resources like this, she would be willing to sell two houses for 100 million yuan!
Moreover, she just walked into the hall holding Huo Xingchao's hand, which is almost everyone's attention, so she was originally very unhappy.
But when he saw the stunned faces of Jiang Sicheng and Xuan Wen inside, he felt relieved, and even the smiles on their faces were much more sincere.
Believe it or not, for such a big party, most of the stars who have attended tomorrow will ask the team to choose pictures and post on Weibo.
At that time, all the photos Xuanwen and Jiang Sicheng sent were group photos with a group of little girls, but her photos of the sound of rain were not a force at all.
She had already figured out what to do.
The first row is a group photo of clinking glasses with various actors and actresses.
The second photo is a group photo with various bigwigs who only live in financial news.
As for the last row, she's going to post a cheek-to-cheek selfie with Grandma Huo!
Everyone has vanity, and the vanity of the little fairy is very, very huge.
She just wanted to **** them off and make them feel ashamed with these two sets of contrasting pictures, but the little fairy never looked back at them, hum!
When Shi Yusheng thought of this, he immediately felt refreshed and raised his head, "Don't worry, as long as Grandma Huo wants to see me, I will spare no time and help you for free!"
......
Huo Xingchao held his forehead and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your reputation now?"
...fame.
What's so bad about this.
If it is an ordinary middle-aged rich businessman with a big belly, it may be very ugly by others. But if you change to such a handsome, rich and handsome man with a real girlfriend who has seen her parents, people will only be envious.
The sound of the rain has a lot in mind.
Anyway, she is still single now, even if she is misunderstood as Huo Xingchao's girlfriend, it's fine, and she can just use the name of a boss to domineering in the forest. This is simply a win-win strategy.
However, Shi Yu has always been good at getting cheap and being good, so he said seriously, "It doesn't matter, Grandma Huo is such a good grandma, she can make her happy, why am I aggrieved. Why don't you just fake dating, my acting skills, you Don't worry, it's guaranteed not to reveal anything!"
The man raised his eyebrows, and with a smile in his eyes, touched a glass with her.
......
How long will Di Yusheng's confidence last?
last until a month later.
At that time, the filming of "Wandering in the World" was halfway through, and Ketive's official announcement had come out, and the online passersby were shocked. When the fairy fans started to enjoy themselves, she huddled under the covers and called Huo Xingchao.
"Huo Xingchao."
"What's wrong?"
"Huo Xingchao ah woo woo woo..."
"Have you been drinking again? The sound of the rain, let me tell you, it's daytime, you, a girl star, don't cry in public, hide yourself at home and cry, do you know?"
"Ohh Ohh ohh....."
Huo Xingchao finally gave up, made a gesture of free discussion, and walked out of the conference room holding the phone, "Where are you?"
"at the hotel."
"How much did you drink?"
"I didn't drink..."
"Then why are you crying?"
"Uuuuu, I just discovered a very scary thing. I think I need to tell you about it because I can't make a decision by myself and I haven't dared to tell others what to do. Huo Xingchao, I'm a little scared of you now. Say what if..."
"Stop."
Huo Xingchao rubbed his brows helplessly, "What did you find? Did Ultraman get into your house or did Guardian Sweetheart invade the earth?"
"neither."
The little girl hiccupped on the other end of the phone and choked, "I'm pregnant."
......
"Did Ultraman coerce you?"
He paused, squatted down, and said in a soft tone, "Is the guardian sweetheart next to you? If so, cry once, if not, cry twice. Don't be afraid, I will come to save you."
"Ohh Ohh ohh......"
Oh.
It looks like she is really pregnant.
