Chapter 51
Chapter 50 – Transition
Although it was explained that Lang had also been to Taoyuan these few times, except for the first time, she was relatively low-key every time she came, one person came and one person went, every time she was silent, but Han Xinyuan had never been to such a place, With no experience, she came here in her Porsche 911. Unfortunately, the west of the city is an old city with many shantytowns. The road attracted countless onlookers, and finally got stuck in a dead end, unable to get out. Han Xinyuan looked at the garbage pile in front of the windshield and wanted to cry.
If it had been two months earlier, Han Xinyuan would not have been very famous. She had filmed a few movies and took on a few TV dramas, but she didn’t appear in the public very much. There was not even much information about her, but she was so alive. Competing with Ji Chenli, I accepted a variety show, but I didn’t expect it to become a hit, and the ratings are soaring. As soon as the first episode aired, the trending search has been hanging up for several days, and the discussion has also increased. She couldn’t suppress her even if she wanted to. With her current popularity, she didn’t even dare to open the car door, for fear that she would be surrounded by people when she got out of the car.
Hungry, Han Xinyuan sat in the car for half an hour. During this half hour, several groups of people came and went, and a Porsche drove in such a slum! Many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Han Xinyuan’s car at 360 degrees without any dead ends, and they gradually dispersed after more than half an hour.
Han Xinyuan heaved a sigh of relief, but looking at the dark surroundings, there wasn’t even a street light, and they were all low and dilapidated old buildings. She was stuck in a dead-end alley and couldn’t get in or out, and Ji Chenli couldn’t get through on the phone, and finally Desperately lying on the steering wheel, thinking that no one will be there in the middle of the night, I will slowly go back.
In desperation, a figure suddenly appeared in Han Xinyuan’s rearview mirror. She had a good memory, and even after a distance and the light was dim, she still recognized the person at a glance. She felt that she had suddenly grasped a life-saving straw. Quickly opened the car door and got out, “Sister Tao Yuan!”
It’s almost ten o’clock now, Tao Yuan took care of the children and put them to sleep, and had a video call with Ji Chenli for half an hour, thinking about throwing out the trash and then going to bed, but she didn’t expect someone next to the trash dump to call her at night , She was startled, turned around, and didn’t notice Han Xinyuan who was leaning against the car door, first she was blinded by Han Xinyuan’s flamboyant sports car, and Tao Yuan didn’t realize until Han Xinyuan trotted over and greeted herself with a smile. , oh, isn’t this the little girl from the gang with the surname Ming?
Tao Yuan Huduzi always held the attitude that the person my family Chenchen hates is my enemy, so he didn’t look good towards Han Xinyuan, and nodded coldly, “It’s you.”
Han Xinyuan and Tao Yuan only met once, the day Ji Chenli was hospitalized. Han Xinyuan had a very happy conversation with Tao Yuan that day, but Ji Chenli spoke ill of her afterwards, so he immediately greeted Tao Yuan. Too eager, and only put on a sincere smile, “That’s great, Sister Tao Yuan, I finally found you.”
“Why do you want me?” Tao Yuan was puzzled.
Han Xinyuan was stopped by the question, and looked away uncomfortably, “It’s nothing, I brought some souvenirs from the northwest for filming, and specially sent them to Chenli…and you.”
“Oh, thank you Miss Han for your kindness, but Chenchen is not here, it is too late to entertain, please go back.”
“Ah?” Han Xinyuan felt that he had a good chat with Tao Yuan last time, and thought that he would treat him warmly, but he didn’t expect Tao Yuan to be so indifferent. Seeing that he really turned around and left, Han Xinyuan had no choice but to grab Tao Yuan’s arm in desperation. Begging for mercy with a wry smile, “Sister Tao Yuan, I… seem to have lost my way, can I trouble you to take me out?”
After she finished speaking, her stomach grunted cooperatively, which was especially loud in the silent night. Han Xinyuan subconsciously held his stomach, but it was too late. Tao Yuan waited for her to explain with a half-smile, and she had to explain with a slightly red face in embarrassment: ” I came out in a hurry, and I didn’t have enough to eat at night.”
“…” Everyone was talking about this, and Tao Yuan couldn’t keep the guests away, so he got into Han Xinyuan’s car and took Han Xinyuan back to the orphanage.
Tao Yuan cooked according to the portion size every day, and there were so many children in the yard that there was no food left, so Tao Yuan had no choice but to serve Han Xinyuan a bowl of dried noodles, a poached egg, and a few green vegetables for garnish. Drizzle two drops of sesame oil on the table, and the fragrance will overflow immediately.
Han Xinyuan was really hungry, and she could still care about eating at first, but the more she ate, the more delicious the noodles made by Tao Yuan became. , even drank the soup, covered his mouth and hiccupped quietly, touched his stomach and smiled embarrassedly, “I have never eaten such delicious noodles, thank you sister Tao Yuan for the hospitality.”
“…” Although Tao Yuan wanted to kick this person out in his heart, he didn’t reach out to hit the smiling face. Han Xinyuan had a good attitude, so Tao Yuan just got up and put away the bowl, saying: “Chenchen is really not here, Miss Han is fine. Go back.” As he said that, he turned on the flashlight and left the kitchen, going to the second floor to cover a few children who were kicked under the quilt.
“Then where did she go?” Han Xinyuan did not give up, and asked persistently after Tao Yuan.
“Africa.”
“Africa?” Han Xinyuan was speechless, “What the **** is she doing in that hellish place?”
Tao Yuan thought it was up to you, so he just walked ahead, arrived at the children’s dormitory, checked them one by one, stuffed those little hands that were exposed outside the quilt back into the quilt one by one, and packed up the clothes and socks that fell on the floor Put it in a handy basket.
When she did this, she kept her hands and feet very lightly, so as not to wake up the children, and the flashlight was turned off. The faint moonlight outside the house came in and shone on her. Han Xinyuan looked at the kindness in Tao Yuan’s eyes, and felt that this person saw Although he looks ordinary and his temper doesn’t seem very good, but looking at it this way, he has the compassion of the Bodhisattva enshrined in his grandma’s Buddhist hall, and his true love is silent.
Han Xinyuan’s parents died early, and she had very little impression of her parents. At this time, she couldn’t help but think that if her mother was still alive, she must be like Tao Yuan. Cover yourself with a quilt.
Inexplicably, Han Xinyuan was a little envious of Ji Chenli.
She and Ji Chenli were both orphans. Although she had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, she felt that Ji Chenli’s life was a hundred times, a thousand times better than hers.
Although Ji Chenli has no parents, she has Tao Yuan. Tao Yuan protects Ji Chenli very well and gives Ji Chenli the same love and care as his mother, so Han Xinyuan has been looking for someone who can give him safety. A person with a sense of security, but Ji Chenli is already reliable enough to give others a sense of security.
Only those who have gained a sense of security since childhood have such capital, Han Xinyuan did not, she has been losing since she was a child, so she desperately wants to grab what belongs to her.
After Tao Yuan took care of the children one by one and retreated, Han Xinyuan asked, “Did Ji Chenli grow up here?”
Speaking of Ji Chenli, Tao Yuan had a smile on his face, and the conversation started, “I grew up with her, and she was cowardly and mischievous when she was young, and she would come to me every time she got into trouble, which made me Together with her, she was punished by the old dean.”
When they came to the yard, Tao Yuan pointed to a stone bench in the corner, and said with a smile, “Here, that stool was broken bit by bit with a small hammer while the adults were not paying attention. There was a corner missing on it. Chenchen’s masterpiece.”
Tao Yuan is sincerely proud of Ji Chenli, she remembers all the bad things Ji Chenli did when she was a child, and when she tells others, her tone is full of pride.
Han Xinyuan leaned closer to look at the stone bench, and there was indeed a small corner missing. She imagined that when Ji Chenli was a child squatting on the ground with a small hammer, twisting his buttocks and doing bad things, she couldn’t help laughing, with a bit of self in her tone Unaware of the intimacy, “Chenli, so you were so bad when you were young.”
“Chen Chen didn’t dare to do anything when she was a child? Climbing trees and climbing walls to play pranks, she was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and finally grew up. At that time, I thought, if she can find a good husband, the couple will live happily ever after, and I will be content.” Oh, who knows…” Tao Yuan glared at Han Xinyuan, and snorted, “Who knows that I met such a thing named Ming!”
Tao Yuan hated Ming Lang, and by the way, he also hated those who were related to Ming Lang. Han Xinyuan pretended not to hear Tao Yuan’s words, and concentrated on looking at the missing corner of the stone bench. After watching for a long time, he made a decision and sued Tao Yuan. Resigned, flew home and began to check the preparations to go to Africa.
I didn’t know it before, but now the more I think about it, the more I realize that Ji Chenli is good. Han Xinyuan is a selfish person. Whatever she thinks is good, she will take it for herself by whatever means. It was like this in Minglang before, and now Ji Chenli is like this Anyway, Ji Chenli is divorced now, even if Minghong is still thinking about her, whoever dies will have to rely on his own ability, and they are all apprentices brought out by a master. Is she, Han Xinyuan, worse than Minglang?
Confused by the authorities, once he got out of this situation, Han Xinyuan felt more and more that he was really blind in the past, how could he fall in love with Minglang, and it was clear that Ji Chenli was the person he wanted most.
…
Ming house, study room.
Ming Lang sat behind the desk, her right index finger tapped the table rhythmically, her face was covered with frost, her lips were tightly pressed, her brows were usually indifferent, but her eyes were dark and dark, standing in front of her A row of people, all of them are ordinary-looking, the type you can’t find in the crowd, but their bodies are all strong, with extremely stable legs, and they look like people who have practiced martial arts all year round.
Any one of these people picked out at random would be a top guard that each family is vying to recruit, but now all of them bowed their heads and looked ashen, standing in a row and not daring to show their air.
“Lost it?” Finally, Ming Lang spoke, the rhythm of tapping with his index finger stopped suddenly, and he glanced at several people.
These top guards, because of Minglang’s look, their feet softened at the same time.
“Miss, it’s my subordinates who are not good at doing things, and my subordinates are willing to be punished.” The leader gritted his teeth and stood up, with eyes like bright swords, said with difficulty.
Ming Lang didn’t say anything, just stared at him.
The air in the study seemed to have been drained, everyone’s heads were lowered, and the leader’s back was drenched with sweat. He quietly raised his eyes, only to see Ming Lang’s hand still on the desk.
The sleeves of the shirt are lifted slightly, revealing a bright wrist. This is a hand that belongs entirely to a woman. It is well maintained, with delicate skin, but it is very thin. A thin layer of skin tightly outlines the outline of the bones. The wrist is very thin. It seemed that one hand could be broken, but the hand only moved slightly, and the guard immediately felt like an enemy. The sweat on his back froze instantly, as if he fell into the ice cellar immediately.
“Twenty-four hours.” Clearly said.
Everyone was taken aback.
“Within twenty-four hours, get the person back.”
“Yes…” The man in the lead didn’t seem to be able to react, and he was stunned for a few seconds before returning to his senses, “Yes, yes! Miss Xie!”
“Go out.”
Several people retreated, well-trained and silent.
Ming Lang’s hands clenched into fists on the table, his nails dug into the flesh and blood of his palm unconsciously.
Chenli, where are you?
