Lesley didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the sudden question. Under the wild rumors of the entertainment reporters, it turned out that she and Dong Chengyu had already progressed to the point of getting married and having children in the hearts of the movie fans. She was about to clarify…
Who knew that Dong Chengyu would interrupt…
" That depends on how the box office of this movie goes. If the box office exceeds one billion, I'll immediately propose to her…"
Propose!
A wave of sighs and exclamations! The entertainment reporters who had gathered immediately exploded.
They were simply envious, jealous, and hateful! Some of Dong Chengyu's fans began to show their heart-wrenching pain.
Lesley was furious and swept her gaze over. Dong Chengyu smiled even more charmingly.
At this moment, the reporters in front of An Yaqi had already thinned out. She looked at Lesley and Dong Chengyu with a vicious jealousy in her eyes. She stared at Lesley, who had snatched away her LM endorsement, and her slender hands unconsciously twisted into a ball. Shameless hype. Lesley, let's see how long you can stay popular.
After the reporter's interview, excited fans rushed over with movie posters.
Lesley took a pen and signed for the fans in line one by one.
"Brother Chengyu, I love you…"
"Brother Chengyu, you're so handsome…"
" Brother Chengyu, you can do it. You must be happy…"
On the other end of the phone, the fangirl fans were screaming non-stop. As Lesley signed autographs for her fans, she secretly glanced over and saw Dong Chengyu smugly hugging his fans. The corners of her mouth twitched." Attracting bees and butterflies, narcissistic…"
" Xiuli-I finally see you, Xiuli…"
A hoarse and old voice suddenly drifted into Lesley's ears amidst the fanatical voices of the fans.
Xiuli?
Isn't that the host's original name?
Lesley's heart skipped a beat.
Before she could raise her head, a pair of hands that had gone through the vicissitudes of life and were only left with wrinkled skin and bones had already grabbed Lesley's wrist with trembling hands." Xiuli..."
Lesley looked up in shock and met a pair of cloudy eyes. She had a head full of white hair and a sad and old face that looked like she was in her twilight years. An old woman in her fifties stood in front of her.
Wrinkles covered her face like thousands of valleys. No matter how old the person in front of her looked, she could still find traces of her in the host's memory. Because the host had abandoned her past to hide her identity, she had avoided her thousands of times. The word 'mother' was like a sharp sword that could cut through her disguise.
He Xiuli…
She grew up in the slums of Shikumen. When he was six years old, his father died early, and he and his mother, Li Sulan, relied on each other. When she was ten years old, her mother's remarriage became the beginning of her nightmare. His stepfather was a famous local gangster, Gu Yaozu, who was known as the local tyrant. He would do anything to eat, drink, and gamble. Because of his arrival, not only did the entire family become poorer, but they also became restless. Gu Yaozu had even plotted against him many times. When she was 18 years old, she finally chose to run away from home when she was forced to pay her debts and was beaten by her stepfather. She became a dancer in a dance club called the Demon Cave. For money and survival, she showed off her coquettishness. After the debauchery stopped, she climbed up from the side of countless different men and left. She thought that she would be stuck in the dust forever and would never be able to stand out. However, on an ordinary night, under the dazzling lights, she was pulled into the arms of a man who was destined to be extraordinary...
" Accompany me for a night, and I'll give you everything you want…"
The handsome and arrogant man's voice and expression were as cold as ice, but his entire body was burning like a flame. That night became the turning point in her life…
The experiences before the age of 18 are the last thing the host wants to talk about…
" I've been looking for you so hard…" Bean-sized tears rolled down from his turbid eyes.
Lesley looked at the old man and was at a loss. In public, in front of thousands of reporters, movie fans, and entertainment reporters, could it be that they were going to put on a show of recognizing their relatives? If people knew that the host was a dancer before she became famous, what kind of blow would that be to her image?
Helpless, she could only pretend to be calm. She took a pen and signed a poster before handing it to the old lady." Old lady, your poster is signed…"
" Xiuli…" The old man's voice trembled even more hoarsely, and the tears in his eyes shattered.
Lesley's heart ached. That gaze pierced into her soul and made her feel deeply guilty. Although the host's stepfather was a shameless beast, the host's mother had used all her love for her only daughter. Her actions had hurt a mother who was desperately looking for a daughter.
Just as she was at a loss, the fans behind her rushed forward excitedly." Lesley, sign it for me…"" Sign it for me…"
The old man's skinny figure was pushed further and further away in the crowd...
Her mouth opened and closed with difficulty, as if she was still calling Xiuli's name.
In the blink of an eye, the heartbroken person disappeared from Lesley's sight…
Lesley stood there in a daze, as if her soul had been whipped. The cheers of the fans around her were like thunder drums, but she could not hear them clearly." Xiuli..." Only a hoarse voice drifted away from the noise and echoed in her ears for a long time.
At this moment, An Yaqi, who was not far away, sneered. She saw Lesley's dejected look.
"Look, sister is very powerful…"
In the Aoyama mansion, Henako was holding an entertainment newspaper in her hand. She pulled Kingstown to him and insisted on showing him." She's here again..."
Kingstown glanced at the entertainment newspaper and said," She's a celebrity. She's being gossiped about…"
"What are celebrities? Do they just fly around on TV and in the newspapers every day? What else was gossip? Was it a scandal that was dug up and then hung up?”
Kingstown was speechless." If you say so, then so be it..."
At this moment, Han Shaoyuan came back from outside. When she saw him, her eyes lit up." Uncle, you're back…" She ran over and hugged Han Shaoyuan's leg." Sister went to the papers again…"
Han Shaoyuan took the newspaper, and the black headline on the entertainment section immediately caught his attention." A golden couple is about to have a good time. Dong Chengyu promises that 'Devour the Butterfly' will exceed one billion at the box office, and he will propose to Lesley immediately."
The corners of his mouth twitched without him noticing. The publicity for this movie was getting more and more unreliable. He casually threw the entertainment newspaper on the table and picked up Henako." Henako, Uncle will take you to the movies…"
"Watch a movie? " Okay, okay…" Henako clapped her hands happily.
Han Shaoyuan had just left Kingstown with Hyunako when he bumped into Lesley, who had just returned from work.
"Where are you going?" Lesley asked.
" Uncle wants to take us to the movies..." Henako skipped and grabbed Lesley's hand." Let's go together..."
Watching a movie?
Lesley was surprised. Han Shaoyuan, this cold-faced devil, wanted to go to the movies? With two children?
She glanced at Han Shaoyuan and saw that he was looking at her indifferently. There was nothing unusual about his expressionless face.
"What movie?" She braced herself and asked Han Shaoyuan weakly.
" Dream of the Swallowing Butterfly." Han Shaoyuan narrowed his eyes and uttered these words.
Dream of the Swallowing Butterfly?
He brought the two children to watch the movie he acted in? Lesley couldn't believe her ears.
There were only four lonely figures in the large, empty theater. Lesley sat on the chair in a daze. Was she watching a movie with Han Shaoyuan? She was still in a state of shock and disbelief. Henako and Kingstown sat between Han Shaoyuan and Lesley. Ayunako was as excited as ever, and Kingstown was playing her PSP quietly as usual.
"Didn't you say that if the box office sales exceed one billion, you'll be proposed to?”Han Shaoyuan leaned back in his chair and said in a leisurely but cold tone," I'll book the entire theater. Perhaps you'll be closer to a lifetime of happiness…"
Lifetime happiness?
She didn't even dare to think about these words. Would she have a lifetime of happiness? For the sake of Kingstown and Henako, she had to be confined to this demon's side for the rest of her life. Other than humiliation, would she still have any happiness? These words were undoubtedly a cruel mockery.
" I didn't expect the CEO of the Han Corporation to believe such gossip in the entertainment industry…"
"Don't you want to turn the show into reality?"
Her? Making a fake show with Dong Chengyu real? One day, when he walked on the streets, he would definitely be assassinated by a bunch of brainless fangirls.
Lesley listened to Han Shaoyuan's words carefully and felt that there was something threatening and probing in his cold tone. " Of course, I won't make it real. That would be suicide. Dong Chengyu's fans won't let me go, and you won't let me go either. Maybe one day, I'll die for no reason.”
"It's good that you know your place." A faint smile appeared on Han Shaoyuan's lips, but he disappeared like a shooting star in the blink of an eye.
"Ah…"
Henako suddenly screamed and buried her head in Lesley's arms. Her small body was trembling in fear." Ghost... Ghost..."
Lesley patted Henako's back to comfort her. She looked up and saw Lin Huizhu, who was played by An Yaqi, floating out of the movie screen after she died. For some reason, she didn't feel scared at all when she saw An Yaqi's pink-white face. Instead, she felt that An Yaqi's image had been made fun of again.
" In the future, the Han Corporation will definitely not invest in such movies…" Han Shaoyuan said coldly.
" Only an idiot would be scared..." Kingstown looked at the screen calmly and added expressionlessly.
Lesley turned to look at the adult and child. She suddenly felt that the entire movie was like playing the big knife in front of a master and playing the lute to a cow with disdain. Only the trembling Henako in her arms gave her some psychological comfort.
" Huina-Huina-don't go-I love you…"
In the movie, Liu Aotian, played by Dong Chengyu, grabbed Lin Huina, played by Lesley, and kissed her deeply. The feelings that had been buried for many years finally surfaced. It was supposed to be the most touching scene in the movie, but before it could be touched...
" Not suitable for children…" Han Shaoyuan's cold voice interrupted.
Kingstown consciously covered his eyes with his hands.
She turned to look at Kingstown and imitated him by covering her eyes with her toot hands.
"Not suitable for children?"
A mere kissing scene, not suitable for children?
Han Shaoyuan actually said that?
