Chapter 734 734. Studying Abroad
One day ago, after learning the news of Nie Wei and Shu Chang's marriage, Lin's mother immediately dropped the work she was busy with and rushed back home.
Because only she knew how big the impact of this news would be on her daughter.
Although the relationship between her daughter and the other party seemed to have become dull in the past year, and they just nodded to each other like ordinary friends when they met on weekdays, the mother knew her daughter very well, and all this was just her disguise.
Because the mother and daughter lived together, even if the daughter had carefully concealed her feelings, there would always be times when flaws were exposed.
For example, when watching entertainment news, Lin's mother found several times that when her daughter was behind her back, she would always secretly stare at the photo of the person she liked in the news in a daze, and when she appeared, she would hurriedly cover up and pretend that she didn't care.
Also, when watching TV, whenever that person appeared, her daughter would quickly change the channel, but the more this happened, it made people feel that she had not let go of this person in her heart.
There are many similar examples. Mother Lin was confused, fearing that her daughter would not be able to accept the news and run into danger after learning about it at home.
Thinking of this, Mother Lin quickly put down her work and called Lin Yifei, but what made her feel disappointed was that she could not get through to her daughter.
"Is it really going to happen?" Thinking of those girls who collapsed because of the breakup of love, Mother Lin thought fearfully.
At this moment, she just wanted to rush home to check on her daughter's condition, and she also held a one-in-ten-thousand hope that her daughter had not seen the message.
Without bothering to explain the reason, Mother Lin hurriedly called the driver. It usually took an hour to get home from the company. This time, under the urging of Mother Lin, it took less than 40 minutes to get home.
Without even bothering to thank the driver who stepped on the accelerator and ran a red light all the way, Mother Lin opened the door before the car stopped completely, and staggered when getting out of the car, almost falling down.
This surprised the driver who had been driving for the Lin family. In his eyes, when had Mother Lin lost her composure like this over the years? In his impression, she had always been a very elegant lady. It was the first time he had seen her so flustered today.
Mother Lin didn't care about her image at this moment. She almost trotted all the way to her home. When she finally opened the door panting, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because her daughter was just sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"It seems that Xixi hasn't seen the news yet." Mother Lin thought to herself. After all, in her opinion, if Lin Yifei really knew the news, how could she have the heart to watch TV? At best, she would cry.
However, in this way, Mother Lin was also a little worried. After all, the current situation was like guarding a timed nuclear bomb. She didn't know when Lin Yifei would find out about this. What should she do then?
With the idea of delaying as long as possible, Mother Lin decided to take Lin Yifei's phone first. Everything went smoothly. Lin Yifei seemed to be concentrating on the movie on the TV and didn't notice that Mother Lin took her phone away.
Mother Lin, who got the phone, naturally couldn't stay with Lin Yifei for long. She was thinking about secretly turning off the phone and hiding it, so she found an excuse to help her daughter clean up the bedroom and went to the bedroom with Lin Yifei's phone.
After entering the house, Mother Lin immediately took out Lin Yifei's phone and turned it off, and then temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
Since she had just found an excuse to clean up the bedroom, Mother Lin would certainly not make such a low-level mistake. She put away her phone and started to clean up the bedroom. However, when she was helping Lin Yifei to make the bed, she was stunned when she picked up the pillowcase.
A minute later, Mother Lin hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and looked at her daughter who was still sitting on the sofa and seemed to be watching TV.
Mother Lin's eyes wavered. When she picked up the pillowcase just now, she realized that her daughter had probably known the news, because the pillowcase was wet, which was obviously the traces of tears. But if she really kept crying, Mother Lin thought it was okay, at least she could vent her inner depression, but what was wrong with her daughter now?
She looked calm, so she didn't notice that she had cried at all, but the quieter Lin Yifei was, the more scared Mother Lin was, because this kind of calmness was like the moment before the storm came at sea. The calmer it was, the more dangerous it would be later.
Mother Lin's steps were very slow, almost moving towards her daughter little by little, because she was thinking about how to persuade her daughter at the moment, but when Mother Lin barely thought about how to persuade her daughter, it was Lin Yifei who was sitting on the sofa who said something.
"Mom, I'm a little tired recently and want to take a break. Can I go to the United States to study?"
"Okay, okay!" Lin's mother blurted out the promise, and her eyes were full of relief at the moment. It was great that her daughter could figure it out by herself.
Although Lin Yifei is currently at the peak of her career, taking a break to study will definitely have a big impact on her career. However, in Lin's mother's view, nothing is more important than her daughter's mental health. Anyway, her family is not short of money. Her daughter wants to take a break from school and stay away from this sad place. It is undoubtedly the best solution.
"Which school do you want to go to? Mom will help you apply."
"I want to find a school on the west coast, with fresh air, plenty of sunshine, and a pleasant environment. As for what to study, it's up to you."
"Okay, Mom will definitely find you a school with the best environment. By the way, we will buy a house nearby, and Mom will accompany you then." Mother Lin hugged her daughter, and she felt distressed while making promises. As a mother, she certainly understood why her daughter suddenly stopped her beloved acting career and went to study in the United States.
If it was really for study, how could she not care about school so much? In fact, her daughter ran away to avoid and heal her wounds, so no matter how many requests her daughter had, Mother Lin felt that she had to help her daughter get out of this emotional injury, and not be stuck in the same place, otherwise her daughter would eventually collapse one day.
After agreeing to her daughter's request to study, Lin's mother began to contact friends, and even took the initiative to call her ex-husband who she had not contacted for a long time. After all, the other party worked in the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and Lin's mother felt more at ease with his help. After all, although the relationship between the two broke down, Lin Yifei was indeed his biological daughter. Lin's mother did not believe that he would stand idly by for her only biological daughter.
In fact, after receiving the call, Lin's father, in addition to scolding Nie Wei, immediately agreed to Lin's mother's request after understanding the general situation. Just as Lin's mother thought, that was his biological daughter.
While preparing for her daughter's study abroad, Lin's mother also found an opportunity to report to Wang Zhonglei.
After all, Lin Yifei's contract is still in Huayi. As an artist within the contract period, this kind of big thing of rest, even if Lin's mother has made a decision, at least notify the company.
As for how the company chooses, it is not important. Lin's mother has already made up her mind to take her daughter away even if it violates the contract.
Of course, she didn't believe that Nie Wei would be so cruel. He had already hurt a girl's heart in love, and he was going to embarrass them in their careers. In the eyes of Lin's mother, although she hated Nie Wei for hurting her daughter, she also admitted in her heart that Nie Wei was a good child and he was not the kind of bad guy who would embarrass others.
Moreover, if it weren't for Nie Wei's relationship, how could her daughter join Huayi? She had an agency that served her alone, not to mention that Huayi was still in a precarious situation at the time. In any case, Huayi owed Lin Yifei a big favor.
After Lin's mother told Wang Zhonglei about the decision, Wang Zhonglei was stunned.
He also had some understanding of the emotional entanglement between Nie Wei, Shu Chang and Lin Yifei, but he didn't expect it to reach this point, which made Lin Yifei want to quit the entertainment industry and go to the United States to study.
After Wang Zhonglei came to his senses, he began to weigh the pros and cons.
He really couldn't bear to let her go. You know, among the teenagers, Lin Yifei is the most popular actress in the company, even more than Shu Chang, who won the Golden Horse Award for two consecutive years. Although she doesn't have too many honors, she is an absolute goddess-level star among young people with her solid acting skills and outstanding appearance and temperament.
Such artists are treasures for any entertainment company. If they are lost, it will be a huge loss.
But she wanted to stop it, but Lin's mother's attitude was very firm. Wang Zhonglei even thought about using force, but soon gave up.
Lin Yifei can be regarded as a hero of the new Huayi. At the beginning, most of the company was poached by Wang Jinghua. It was the addition of Lin Yifei and Shu Chang, a group of popular actors, that allowed Huayi to quickly stabilize its position.
What's more, the relationship between Lin Yifei and Nie Wei also made Wang Zhonglei wary. If he used the contract to force Lin Yifei to stay, it would be very likely to offend Nie Wei, which Wang Zhonglei thought was not worth the loss. However, he was unwilling to let Lin Yifei go, especially when the company was about to go public. The existence or loss of Lin Yifei might bring hundreds of millions or even more changes in Huayi's market value.
"Sister Lin, Lin Yifei is an artist that the company attaches great importance to. She wants to study abroad to improve herself. Of course, we will not object. However, I can't promise you this right away. I also need to seek advice from other senior executives of the company." When Wang Zhonglei said this, he was ready to call Nie Wei. In his opinion, only Nie Wei could come forward to solve this problem.
