Reunion [entertainment circle]

As soon as he walked out of the airport pick-up gate, he saw Xia Mo standing outside the crowd looking at his mobile phone with his head down. Ji Ran threw away his luggage, rushed over and hugged him.

Xia Mo was taken aback, then smiled again, hugged him tightly and rubbed his hair: "I'm still reading your message."

Ji Ran bit his lip, and Xia Mo quickly hugged him tightly after being dazed, turning his back on the guest.

In foreign airports, no one knew each other, so they hugged and kissed brazenly until they were almost out of breath, then Ji Ran let him go with a smile, put his hands on his shoulders and looked at him: "You have lost a lot of weight."

Xia Mo touched his face and asked him, "Where's your luggage?"

"what--"

Ji Ran hurriedly turned back to look for it. Fortunately, his things were still where they were and were not taken away by anyone. He ran over and pulled them over. Xia Mo was helpless and funny, and helped him pull the suitcase: "Let's go."

After getting in the car, Ji Ran looked at the black driver in front of him and fell into Xia Mo's arms. Xia Mo touched his face again and asked him in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

"Well, I didn't sleep much on the plane."

"Go home and sleep in a while."

"Go home?" Ji Ran raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Go back to your house? Aren't you afraid to piss your mother off?"

"She's in the hospital, you can go back with me instead of staying in a hotel."

Ji Ran didn't object, curled his lips, and asked him again: "What did your grandfather ask me to do?"

"He wants to talk to you. He...isn't very against our affairs."

"why?"

"Actually, my dad is not very opposed." Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he said truthfully: "I told them about your family background. There is nothing wrong with cooperation..."

Ji Ran clicked his tongue: "Businessman... If I'm really an ordinary third-rate starlet, I'm afraid your family members won't accept me, right?"

"I'll fight for it too." Xia Mo pursed his lips. In fact, there was another sentence that he didn't tell Ji Ran. I don't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that his family, including Zhang Jiarui, had a weird attitude when they mentioned Ji Ran. , It seems that he is deliberately concealing something from him.

Ji Ran didn't say anything more, turned on the cell phone that had been shut down for more than ten hours, and Say sent him a message, telling him that Helen had gathered a crowd to take drugs and entered the police station, and the matter had spread rapidly on the Internet, this time it was completely ruined, internal information Hearing that the TV station was planning to change the host of his trump card show, Ji Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise, Xia Mo leaned over to look at his phone, and pursed his lips.

Ji Ran glanced at him and asked him, "Why is it such a coincidence? What happened to him in just a few days?"

"Many people in the circle know about his drug use. It was deliberately revealed, isn't it your uncle?" Xia Mo answered him calmly.

"No," Ji Ran affirmed, "If he said, he wouldn't be so surprised."

The reporter who took the photo of Ji Ran that day, Xu Cheng quickly found out that he was the guy who offended Ji Ran when he went to cut the ribbon last time and was later made to lose his job by Xia Mo. The guy could hardly get along anymore, and finally went to an informal small website to be an online media reporter. He kept staring at Ji Ran and tried to catch him. Lost it, I owed a lot of money to usury when I went to Macau to gamble before, and Xu Cheng also has friendship with these high-ranking gangsters. Under his hint, that guy has been cornered, and the end is probably either dead or disabled.

But Xu Cheng didn't touch Helen directly, after all, he was still concerned about his backstage.

Ji Ran's eyeballs rolled around, and he doubted: "Xiao Mo, did you do it?"

Xia Mo reached out and brushed the hair on his forehead, and still admitted: "I didn't ask someone to beat him up, and he already gave him face. If he dares to touch you, he will have to pay the price."

Ji Ran murmured: "Aren't you afraid of his revenge? Didn't you tell me to walk around when I saw him so as not to offend him?"

"It's okay," Xia Mo said, "I'm not afraid of his revenge if I dare to do it. Although his family has a background, my grandfather is not a vegetarian. Although it's a little troublesome, I can't help but involve you."

Ji Ran felt quite comfortable listening to these words, but he still snorted softly, Xia Mo's grandfather is really well.

Xia Mo's grandfather is indeed a remarkable person. The previous generation also came from a red background. He himself had no interest in politics, so he chose the path of doing business. Later, when the domestic entertainment industry just started, he cooperated with others to create The brokerage company later came out on its own to establish Shining Star Entertainment. It is a real entertainment giant. A few years ago, when he was old and in poor health, he let his only grandson take over and went to Europe to recuperate. Xia Mo specially invited him to the United States because of his mother.

Seeing Xia Mo's grandfather at his home in Los Angeles, Ji Ran was actually a little nervous. When he first entered the entertainment circle, he was already preparing to retire and almost never showed his face in public. He had never seen him before. Before, when I was very young, I met him two or three times in Spain. He was a very dignified old man. Even Xia Mo was cautious when talking to him. When Ji Ran was still a pure young boy, he didn't dare to look at him, who was almost serious. grandfather.

After so many years, the other party is not much different from Ji Ran's impression, but he is much older. After Xia Mo came with Ji Ran, he was kicked out of the room. Grandpa said that he had something to say to Ji Ran alone. Not daring to object, he nodded to Ji Ran to encourage him, and then withdrew.

After the door was closed, Ji Ran bowed to the old man first, and the other party raised his jaw and motioned him: "Sit down."

Sitting down on the sofa cautiously, the old man spoke first: "I know about you and Xiao Mo, including the past."

Ji Ran smiled: "I saw you when I was a child."

The old man said: "I have the impression, because I know the situation in your family, and Xiao Mo really likes you, so I didn't object to your matter."

Hearing this, Ji Ran was a little surprised. Although Xia Mo had already heard that his grandfather did not object to them, he didn't expect him to say it so directly and affirmatively. Instead, he didn't know what to say, so he just held back for a long time. He choked out two words: "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. Xiao Mo's mother wants him to marry Jia Rui. I don't think so. Jia Rui is Xiao Mo's cousin's daughter. I know her character very well. She is not suitable for Xiao Mo, so I won't marry her." Ask Xiao Mo to marry her."

Ji Ran pursed his lips tightly and did not answer, the old man continued: "I know you didn't tell Xiao Mo about the past, I am very satisfied with that, Xiao Mo's mother is very sick now, she must undergo surgery immediately, I don't want to At this time, Xiao Mo is distracted and arguing with his mother because of this matter, as long as his mother has finished the operation, you can rest assured that she will not interfere with your affairs again."

Ji Ran frowned slightly: "But Xiaomo said that if he doesn't marry Zhang Jiarui, his mother won't go to the operating table, and won't agree to anything."

"Regarding this point, Xiao Mo has already made up his mind, and he will tell you later that his mother is now on the edge of a dead end, and persuasion alone will not work, and procrastination is not an option, the only way is to follow her, she After all, it is my daughter, I must save her, and I hope you can understand."

Although he didn't know what he meant, Ji Ran nodded and said, "Thank you."

The old man's facial expression became much happier, and he changed the subject and casually asked Ji Ran about the songs he sang in the dramas he had filmed in these years. Ji Ran also heaved a sigh of relief, and answered him one by one. How could your family agree with you to do this? Is it because of Xiao Mo?"

Ji Ran nodded embarrassedly: "Yes."

On the contrary, the old man smiled: "It's rare that you like Xiao Mo so much."

Ji Ran followed up shamelessly: "He also likes me very much."

When he got up to leave, the old man stopped him suddenly and said, "Say hello to your grandpa for me. If I have a chance, I will visit him in Spain."

Ji Ran responded obediently, but what he thought in his heart was that he was indeed a businessman. If he hadn't had a rich grandfather, how could he pass the test so easily.

After staying with the old man for an hour before coming out, Xia Mo waited for him restlessly in the living room downstairs. When he saw Ji Ran coming downstairs, he quickly got up and greeted him: "What did grandpa tell you? Are you talking well?" ?”

Ji Ran pushed him: "Let's go outside and talk."

After going out to the garden outside, Ji Ran looked at him: "Be honest, how do you plan to solve your mother's problem?"

Xia Mo asked him back: "If you are with me, will your family object?"

Ji Ran was a little surprised that he would ask this suddenly, and after thinking about it, he replied: "I used to object, but now I won't."

"why?"

"I'm afraid I'll run away from home again. My mother loves me very much, and she doesn't want to embarrass me."

Xia Mo was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to stroke the upturned hair on his head: "Your mother is fine. I want to see her in the future, Xiao Ran. My mother has to undergo surgery as soon as possible. I want to coax her first."

"How to coax?"

"The operation she is going to have is very risky. She is afraid that she will not be able to get off the operating table, so she thinks about it but wishes. Before the operation, she saw that I was married to a woman. The partner does not have to be Zhang Jiarui. I think it can be a fake marriage. She is at ease."

Ji Ran frowned upon hearing this: "Fake marriage, with whom?"

"I'll take you to meet her. Don't worry, it's just a wedding. She has her own lover, and it's just to deal with the family. I'll just play a show with her."

Ji Ran was silent for a moment, snorted, and stretched out his hand to grab Xia Mo's nose: "I barely believe you, wait until I see you."
