Reunion [entertainment circle]

When Say came to pick her up, Ji Ran was eating an apple with her mother in the restaurant of the hotel. Seeing Say's nervous look pretending to look at her mother casually but not daring to look at her, Ji Ran found it funny. While my mother was picking up food, I asked him, "What are you going to do with public relations this time?"

Say was annoyed: "I want to ask you first! What the hell is going on with you! Can you be less annoying?! I haven't dared to tell the big boss yet!"

Ji Ran took the last bite, threw the fruit core into the dinner plate, licked her lips, and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, why are you close to a rich woman, why am I so unscrupulous, that's my mother."

"Where did you come from... what?! Your mother?!"

Ji Ran nodded.

"...Godmother?"

"Mom!"

Say, who couldn't believe it, froze for a moment, then widened his eyes in astonishment: "Your real mother?!"

Ji's mother has already returned, handed the fried egg to Ji Ran, poured soy sauce on him for him to eat, and then asked Say with a smile: "Are you Xiao Ran's manager? Why are you standing all the time, sit down .”

Say choked completely, glared at Ji Ran a few times, Ji Ran patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "Brother Say, don't be angry, let me eat breakfast first, we will go back to the room later and I will take it easy." I'll explain it to you."

In fact, Say has been Xu Cheng's exclusive manager assigned to Ji Ran since Ji Ran's debut. Of course, the manager is actually also working as an assistant and nanny. All his thoughts are devoted to serving this little ancestor, but he doesn't care about it. Knowing Ji Ran's family background, he didn't even know his real relationship with Xu Cheng, so after listening to Ji Ran's detailed explanation of what his family does and what his relationship is with the big boss, the poor The agent has been completely frightened.

Say, who recovered from the shock, stared at Ji Ran, and couldn't speak fluently: "You...you...your family is really a capitalist who runs a bank?"

"Yeah." Ji Ran nodded.

The manager was stunned for three seconds, cried and rushed forward to embrace his thigh, swore allegiance to the death, and begged him to lead him to the bright and prosperous road.

Ji Ran was speechless: "Are you acting so exaggerated?"

Say wiped his face: "You don't know, I've been in this business for more than ten years. It's really meaningless. I'm exhausted and often pretend to be a grandson. A weak heart will shorten my life sooner or later. I want to put down the burden in the morning , if you want to do something else, who would put it here?"

"Okay," Ji Ran agreed happily: "Follow me for a few more years, and when I don't want to do it anymore, I will take you with me."

Enough gags, the two finally got down to serious business, Say asked Ji Ran what his plan was, Ji Ran smiled, and asked him: "You are my manager, if you don't help me figure out how to do public relations, you ask me?"

Isn't that afraid that you will be dissatisfied, young master? Say is very helpless, and finally understands what is going on with Ji Ran's previous attitude of being fearless and fearless. He has money and confidence: "The most concise and clear thing is Directly issue a press release affirming that your real relationship will stop the mouths of those boring people, but I'm afraid you won't like it."

Ji Ran sighed, and said that if it weren't for this matter, he would really not be very happy to expose his family background for no reason and cause trouble for himself, especially for his family members, but when things got to this point, unless he told the truth, he would not wash it off. Bai He couldn't escape being labeled as a rich woman.

"...Let me think about it again."

In fact, he didn't have time to think about it at all, because it was exposed by Weibo that not only a large number of fans but also gossip reporters rushed downstairs from the hotel where they lived. They originally said that they would take their mother to climb the Great Wall today. He was speechless at the grand occasion, and asked Say, who was about to touch his forehead: "Those photos were taken after following me for several days. It is impossible for passers-by to do it. Can you find out what happened behind the scenes?" Who is it?"

"It's very difficult," Say spread his hands: "I specially registered a new trumpet, and all the information is fake. You have offended many people before. Who knows who didn't like you."

"...I must be unlucky this year, I am so unlucky even after my natal year has passed."

Say nodded: "Ever since you met Boss Xia, you've been so bad, you should reflect on it."

"Get out." Ji Ran stretched out his foot and kicked over.

In the end, this matter still needs to be dealt with. The previous scandals were rumored to be true or false, and he let him go. This time, because the photos are too embarrassing, not only are the passers-by dancing happily, but even his fan base is in chaos. Ji Ran was very hesitant, and finally his mother came and knocked on the door after hearing about the incident from Xu Cheng. Slapped him on the head: "What the hell are you thinking? Doesn't this explain that you want to be scolded to death?"

Ji Ran is innocent: "I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

Ji's mother was angry: "You look at your mother without explaining, and I was scolded for raising a little boy, isn't it implicating me?"

"...How can you say that your son is a little boy?"

"Isn't that the route you're taking?" Ji's mother exposed him without any shame: "I've watched every one of those romantic TV series you filmed, if it wasn't for my son, watch it for an extra minute It’s all too much.”

Say watched the mother and son bickering silently, and silently stepped aside to call Xu Cheng to discuss the matter. After obtaining the consent there, he immediately arranged for a familiar online media to publish the draft.

At noon, Ji Ran, who was bored in the hotel and could not get out, climbed the Internet again. The trend of public opinion has completely changed. Passers-by, men and women, all ran to his Weibo to ask for marriage proposals, and they were still crying in the morning The young fans happily brushed up to meet their mother-in-law, all the previous bad words towards his mother disappeared, and his mother turned into a gentle, intellectual, beautiful, elegant and refined fairy in the mouths of his fans.

Ji Ran shook her head and sighed: "This is the deep love of fans..."

Say tutted loudly: "In this fucking society, money is justice."

Although the draft only clarified the mother-child relationship between the two, and did not mention Ji Ran's detailed family background, almost as soon as the draft was published, the largest gossip forum on the Internet began to flesh out his family background, although it has not been uncovered so far. Come out, but one thing is for sure, just looking at his mother's outfit, he is not an ordinary wealthy family. There are still many cynics and sarcastic remarks in the comments, but his fans are also full of confidence, which is exactly right Say's words, these days, if you are rich, you will be just. People who kneel and lick continue to follow, and I don't know how many so-called passers-by have turned "fans".

Ji Ran is not interested in watching it again, and presses back to the main page of the mobile phone, looking at the WeChat icon that has not been moved, a little depressed, it has been a few days, since Xia Mo went to Spain, it seems to have disappeared, and all the messages he sent in the past have disappeared. , Calling over there has always been off.

Boring to swipe the screen twice, Ji Ran was a little discouraged, but he couldn't help feeling angrily. Could it be that guy repented and ran away?

******

During the few days in Barcelona, ​​Xia Mo traveled to many places. The old butler knew about his and Ji Ran’s affairs but kept silent. He only revealed some details of the year under his repeated questioning. It was clearly his own story but it needed to be told by others. It sounds like Xia Mo didn't have the extra energy to understand what it was like, so he just took the time to travel around the city where he and Ji Ran grew up together in the next few days. places visited.

The elementary school they went to together, their respective middle schools, the cathedral in the city center, the world-famous football stadium, and the sea that is bluer than the sky, I don’t want to miss every possible place.

He still can't think of anything from the past, but the sense of familiarity lingers in his heart, but he can't get rid of it. Occasionally, when he closes his eyes, there seems to be a flash of Ji Ran's smiling face in his youth, and it seems like That was just his illusion.

Later, he found a photo album in the pile of books, all of which were photos of him and Ji Ran, every year since he met Ji Ran when he was eight years old, from children to teenagers to gradually Changcheng, the last picture was fixed on the smiling face when they were leaning together. At that time, Ji Ran's eyebrows and eyes were more delicate than now, and his eyes were also very simple. There were not so many complicated melancholy and feigned cynicism, but it made him feel even more palpitating .

On the last day in Barcelona, ​​he packed up all the things that he could take away, packed the marriage registration certificate carefully in a file folder and put it in his body bag, said goodbye to the old housekeeper, got into the car and prepared to leave Suddenly, the shepherd dog raised by the old butler in the house jumped out, rubbing against him with grass still mixed with mud in its mouth.

The old housekeeper immediately scolded the naughty big guy. Xia Mo smiled and squatted down to hug it. Although he didn't remember it, he knew that he had raised this big dog back then, and he was afraid to see him again after so many years. reluctant.

The big dog rubbed against his arms, and spit out the thing in his mouth to the ground in front of him. Looking at the thing that rolled down to his feet, the smile on Xia Mo's face slowly stayed at the corner of his mouth, and he So dazed.

Picking up that thing with trembling hands, it was a silver ring that was stained with mud, black and rusty, and could barely see its original appearance, but he recognized it at a glance, it was exactly the same as the one Ji Ran wore around his neck The pair of rings, something he has been looking for these days but has never found, the letter "R" engraved can be vaguely seen on the inner circle of the ring.

"This...where did I find it..." Xia Mo murmured, not knowing whether he was asking the big dog in front of him or himself.

The big dog whined and rubbed against him twice, then turned back and barked twice in the direction of the back garden. Seeing that he was a little lost, the housekeeper said cautiously: "It should be on the side of the garden..."

Xia Mo got up and walked over. In the corner of his room downstairs near the bottom of the wall, the soil was turned over. The big dog squatted there and barked twice. Xia Mo pursed his lips, raised his head, and stared at the second floor The window of his room was closed tightly, and the direct sunlight made his eyes ache and he almost cried, and some fragments suddenly flashed in his mind in a trance.

He anxiously pushed open the closed window, jumped down without any hesitation, and didn't notice that the ring on his hand was thrown out. He stumbled up and struggled out while enduring the pain of twisting his feet. .

He ran forward in the night with difficulty, and there was a screeching sound of brakes behind him. He had no time to react, and his body was thrown high after the violent collision.
