Chapter 64 (1/2)
A banner reading “Miss Lin Ruomeng’s New Movie Tour” hung high above the lobby.
Lin Qikai stood on the stage and spoke on behalf of the Lin family: “Thank you for your personal arrival in your busy schedule. I believe everyone has known this time. After Lin Ruomeng, the jewel of the Lin family, lost his childhood, he finally returned to our Family, and what makes us even more happy is that Ruomeng has become a shining star in the film world through her own efforts. Ruomeng’s return to the family is very grateful to my father Mr. Lin Daoshan…”
Lin Qikai paused when he said that, sitting in the first row, Lin Daoshan, got up and bowed in greeting, and applauded from the audience.
“So this time, our Lin family decided to invest in the new movie “Remains of the Sea” based on the life story of my sister Lin Ruomeng. All the proceeds from the box office will be donated to charities such as Yuyingtang to express our family’s gratitude. Love, use our little love to do something for social welfare.”
The audience applauded again, Lin Daoshan and Xu Rui’an smiled at each other. And Xu Xingyuan never left Lin Qikai on stage from the beginning to the end.
Lin Ruomeng, who was sitting with Huang Xinghan, looked very absent and a little lost. She watched Xu Xingyuan staring at Lin Qikai in a daze, thinking of herself and Luo Fusheng.
Lin Daoshan looked at her daughter’s absence, and he was concerned. During this period, Ruo Meng and Huang Xinghan, the custard boy, got too close. Although it is understandable that the two of them have work cooperation, but they often make private meetings in private.
This Huang Xinghan is not bad. He has created a world in Shanghai, and many ladies and ladies in Greater Shanghai favor him. But in Lin Daoshan’s eyes, he always felt that no one was worthy of his daughter.
Lin Qikai stepped off the stage and walked towards Xu Xingyuan, who was dressed up, naturally took her hand. Xu Xingyuan’s smile became even deeper, looking sad in Lin Ruomeng’s eyes.
Since Lin Ruomeng returned to Lin’s house, Xu Xingyuan has seen the most. My brother is busy and always ask her to accompany Xu Xingyuan. They went to art exhibitions together, to listen to the show, and sometimes Xu Xingyuan would accompany her to the studio to film. After coming and going, the two have similar temperaments and become best friends.
She likes her sister-in-law the most. Xu Xingyuan is the same age as her, but much more innocent than her. She is a eldest lady who is really raised in a deep and simple mind. It’s sincere to anyone who is good .
Most importantly, she really loves her brother. Unfortunately, no matter how good the role of the fiancé, the brother, is acting. Because he looked at Xu Xingyuan the same way he looked at himself, except that she was a younger sister. Lin Ruomeng sighed, why do lovers always suffer so much?
Xu Xingyuan and Lin Qikai walked hand in hand to greet Lin Daoshan. “Hello, Uncle Lin! Hello, Miss Lin!”
Lin Daoshan nodded in satisfaction. “Yuanyuan, I haven’t seen you for a while. I have become more beautiful. It is the one who will be the bride soon.”
Xu Xingyuan smiled shyly while pinching her kerchief. “Thank you, uncle. My brother met some acquaintances on the road and talked a few more words. I first came to Ruomeng to talk to him.”
“You two played the best when you were kids. It’s better to see each other after so many years. Okay. You can talk about your little sisters. I will help you take away these eyesores.” Lin Daoshan joked both Lin Qikai and Huang Xinghan. Shout away.
Xu Xingyuan happily dragged Lin Ruomeng’s hand. The two walked out of the house to let the wind out.
“Is there something on my mind?” Unexpectedly, when Xu Xingyuan looked at her brother wholeheartedly, she was distracted to see her.
Lin Ruomeng shook her head and smiled at Xu Xingyuan. “You have something on your mind, right?”
Xu Xingyuan pointed at herself for unknown reasons. “I?”
“Every time you see you, your eyes are always on my brother. Is he so good-looking?”
Xu Xingyuan was shy. “He is the best-looking in the world in my heart.”
Lin Ruomeng suddenly a little envious of Xu Xingyuan’s way, never expressing her love and joy with stubbornness. Even if the whole world was laughing at her wishful thinking, she never denied her intentions.
“I think that’s how I like a person. Even if you can’t get close, you will be happy if you look at him from a distance.”
“Really? Even if you can’t walk very close and watch from a distance, will you be happy? What if there is an insurmountable deep hatred between them?”
Xu Xingyuan didn’t know who she was referring to, but she still helped her seriously: “What kind of deep hatred?”
“For example, the grievances of the previous generation… the enmity of killing father and mother.”
Xu Xingyuan understood. That period of grievances, she was also the direct party. “Ruomeng, then… do you remember those grudges?”
Lin Ruomeng shook his head. “I don’t remember, I don’t remember anything. It’s like it has never happened. It’s all pieced together from others, and it sounds like someone else’s story.”
“If you don’t remember anything, does it mean that God wants to give you a chance to start again? Then why do you want to torture yourself with memories that you don’t remember at all?”
“But since I already know, I can no longer pretend to be ignorant. If I can’t put it down completely, we can’t be together. The same goes for him.”
“Uncle Lin has never liked Zhong Jing and Brother Fusheng walking too close.” Xu Xingyuan paused. “But it. You have seen their relationship.”
Hearing her directly mention Luo Fusheng’s name, Lin Ruomeng raised her head and looked at Xu Xingyuan’s eyes, her eyes were clear and firm. Xu Xingyuan nodded firmly to Lin Ruomeng. “Looking at a person is never with his eyes, but with his heart. If Brother Fu Sheng hated Uncle Lin, how could he have been so close to Zhong Jing these years. I believe Zhong Jing also distinguished Luo Fusheng from his father very clearly in his heart. .”
Lin Ruomeng was surprised that she had always felt that Xu Xingyuan, who was as transparent as crystal, was much more thorough than she had seen. Perhaps it is because of her simplicity that she can look at the problem in the simplest way.
“Do you know Ruomeng, in fact, I envy you and Fusheng. What stands in between me and Zhong Jing is never an external cause such as national hatred and parental destiny. But I know it is in his heart Without my position, if there is, then even if I lose my life to love him, I will not let go.”
Can you overcome everything as long as you have each other’s place in your heart? Lin Ruomeng recalled that Luo Fusheng gave his life to protect each other along the way, and he walked forward with a heavy burden in the dark in order to guard this country. She always thought that what she was asking for was just a lover who could gently care for her and join hands for life. But since her family broke down and the country broke, she suddenly realized that the love she wanted was a man with iron shoulders like Luo Fusheng. Even if they want them to give up their little love for this righteousness, she is willing. As long as you can stand beside such a man and fight alongside him.
“Thank you.” Lin Ruomeng thanked her sincerely, but found a figure flashed behind the flower stand, and someone was eavesdropping.
“Who is there?”
Xu Xingcheng, who was hiding in the dark, thought he had been discovered, and walked away quickly. Lin Qikai walked out from behind the flower stand.
Lin Ruomeng’s expression relaxed: “It’s my brother. Why are you eavesdropping on us?”
Lin Qikai obviously heard their conversation just now, but was embarrassed to admit it. “I…no…I want to call you back, what are you talking about?”
Just as Lin Ruomeng wanted to answer, Xu Xingyuan immediately interrupted her: “Nothing!” She completely lost her composure just now.
Lin Ruomeng gave her a funny look, and Xu Xingyuan blushed and lowered her head.
“You two must have something to say. Talk slowly. I’m going in.” Lin Ruomeng sly trot away and left.
In the banquet hall, Lin Daoshan held champagne and clinked glasses with Huang Xinghan. “Mr. Huang’s appreciation and guidance to Ruomeng, Ruomeng has already told me about it. Lin is very grateful.”
“Yes, she is a very promising actor.”
“Hey, Chollima often has it, but Bole doesn’t often have it!”
“Ruomeng has a good work and a good character. I discovered this new star and said that it is to add light to my face.”
The two of you came to me for a while, and finally came to the subject.
“However, I am a father. Since I was young, I have been strict with Lin Qikai, hoping that he will achieve a great cause in the future, even if he sacrifices his life for the country. I Lin Mou will not say a word. But my daughter is different from my son. Dreaming to be happy all her life and stay away from all dangers. She has been lost for so many years and suffered a lot. I can no longer bear the pain of gain and loss for her. Can Mr. Huang understand?”
Huang Xinghan’s eyes deepened. “Of course I understand.”
“Mr. Huang is the one who wants to do important things for the country. I am bound to Lin if I need help in the future. The only request is not to involve the little girl in.”
“I understand.” Huang Xinghan raised his glasses, and the two clinked glasses. Huang Xinghan calmly observed Lin Daoshan.
How much does this old official of the Nanjing government know about them? No matter how much he knows, the only certainty is that he will not betray himself for the time being, because his baby daughter and them are in the same boat. When Lin Ruomeng was selected in the primaries, besides her own tenacious mind and knowledge of righteousness, more importantly, she had the strong backing of the Lin family.
After the banquet was over, Lin Daoshan drank tea in the hall, and his servant stepped forward to report. “Master, there is a man who claims to be a young lady’s brother who insists to see you. I am afraid that his ranting will not affect him well, so I have brought him in on his own terms and waited outside the door.”
Lin Daoshan frowned and nodded.
The servant led Duan Tianci into it. This once stunning young man has not seen him for more than half a year, crawling in the hall like a beggar. “Master Lin, give me some more money. For the sake of Tianying, oh no, Miss Ruomeng. Lend me another hundred oceans. Otherwise, I will be killed by the debt collector!”
Lin Daoshan’s eyes showed disgust. When Jiu Suihong died, he gave Duan Tianci a large sum of money, enough to eat and drink for the rest of his life. But he has spent most of his time on eating, drinking, and gambling.
“The last time. Next time you dare to make trouble in front of the Lin Mansion, I’ll break your leg.” Lin Daoshan let out a cruel word, and let his servants take a hundred oceans to him.
Duan Tianci held a gift box full of dangdang in both hands, and walked out excitedly.
