MTL - The Actress is My Favorite-Chapter 56

This corner is indeed very secluded and quiet, even the sunlight is mostly blocked by the corner wall.

Xia Shutong walked to the corner step by step, slowly squatted down, curled up again, and buried his head.

After a few minutes, she slowly raised her head, tilted her head, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

No wonder... When Xia Hongye and Xia Hongye came here just now, she felt that this corner was somewhat familiar.

When she first arrived at Xia's house, she hid here and cried many times.

Nineteen-year-old Xia Shutong is fragile, sensitive and timid. It was the first time that a person came to a strange city and lived in a strange big house, and everything around her made her feel scared.

At the same time of fear, Xia Shutong crazily missed someone in Yuncheng, and deeply loathed this cowardly and incompetent self.

At night, Xia Shutong hid on the bed in her room and cried, and during the day she went to this corner. No one would come over, no one would notice her.

Every time I cry, I bite my arm tightly with my teeth, swallow tears and cry in pain, and there is only one thought in my mind:

She must, must not go on like this anymore, must change herself, must become stronger, must be able to protect... Maomao. It must be so that everyone can no longer bully them.

She wanted to stand on a higher ground and help Yun Feiwu resist when the sky fell.

At that time, she...was still a little kid who didn't even dare to speak to strangers, but she often curled up in a corner where no one was around, harboring the wishful thinking of...becoming a **** for another girl who was thousands of miles away.

…

Xia Shutong supported the wall, stood up slowly, something flashed in his eyes.

She probably knows why she has undergone such a big change, from the little girl who could only hide behind her mother back then to what she is now. Although there is still some confusion in my mind, and there are some key things I can't think of, but it is not very important anymore.

Xia Shutong steadied her steps and quickly walked to her room.

She wanted to see Yun Feiwu soon.

I want to hold Yun Feiwu... tightly in my arms.

Walking to the door of the room, Xia Shutong was about to knock on the door, but felt a sharp gaze not far away, staring at her firmly.

As soon as Xia Shutong turned her head, she saw that Xia Cha was standing outside the study on the third floor, watching her condescendingly across the entire hall. After looking at each other, Xia Cha raised his chin, turned and walked into the study.

Xia Shutong paused, but in the end she didn't open the door immediately, but walked up the stairs to the third floor, and went straight to the direction of the study.

Xia Cha sat on a chair in the study, making no effort to hide his sullen eyes.

"Grandpa?" Xia Shutong narrowed her eyes slightly.

When dealing with Xia Yuansi's matter this morning, Xia Shutong had a faint feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with Xia Cha's last mood. But she didn't think much about it at the time, and it wasn't until now that she realized what happened to Xia Cha.

At the beginning, Xia Cha's anger was indeed aimed at Xia Yuansi, but in the end, it was inexplicably transferred to Xia Shutong. And this kind of anger is obviously different from the beginning.

It should be shallower and harder to ponder.

Xia Cha ignored her, stroked the crutch with both hands, and let out an angry "hum".

Xia Shutong blinked in confusion, now she can be sure that Xia Cha is indeed angry with her, but...why?

Could it be because Xia Cha believed Xia Yuansi's words and thought she was using company resources to support Yun Feiwu? But with Xia Cha's personality, as long as she manages the company well enough, he shouldn't care.

And if this is the reason, why didn't Xia Cha attack directly in the morning, and must wait until now?

Xia Shutong moved closer, sat down, and asked tentatively, "Grandpa, are you feeling unwell?"

And appropriately softened the voice.

Xia Cha turned his head, and after a while, he said angrily again: "I'm not feeling well, and it's all because of you!"

"I...?" Xia Shutong said softly, "Xia Yuansi is about to go to jail, so you don't have to be angry with him any longer. Am I okay?"

"Am I mad at him?" Xia Cha finally couldn't help it, and angrily threw his cane to the side, "I'm mad at you!"

At this time, Xia Cha didn't look like the old fox who had been in the mall for many years, but instead looked like an old man who was **** off by his granddaughter and helpless.

That's why Xia Shutong was even more confused: "What's wrong with me?"

Xia Cha stared at her for a long time before pursing his mouth and saying, "Xia Shutong, tell Grandpa, is what Xia Yuansi said true?"

"He said that I used the company's resources to support Yun Feiwu?" Xia Shutong smiled and shook his head, "Grandpa, Yunyun and I really love each other, it's not an improper relationship between a funder and a canary, you don't have to Worry about that."

Xia Shutong didn't quite remember what happened before, but Yun Feiwu said that they were not in a nurturing relationship.

"Is this the point?" Xia Cha raised his hand and pointed at her sharply, "The point is, Xia Shutong, did you secretly get together with Yun Feiwu without telling grandpa and everyone else! In, You were together before your car accident!"

Looking at the furious Xia Cha, Xia Shutong was slightly taken aback.

So... The reason why Xia Cha is so angry seems to be because Xia Shutong has a relationship with Yun Feiwu without telling him? But with his character, he shouldn't... As long as it doesn't affect the interests of the company, he shouldn't care at all, right?

But at this time, although Xia Cha was full of anger, he really had no deterrent effect, so Xia Shutong thought about it, and said truthfully: "Well, Grandpa, I married Yunyun very early. But my memory has not recovered yet. , I don’t remember much about the situation at that time.”

Xia Cha was so annoyed by Xia Shutong's words, but seeing her take it for granted without any guilt, he couldn't say any curse words for a while.

"You, you, you..." Xia Cha pointed at Xia Shutong "you" for a long time, but said nothing.

In the end, Xia Shutong said with concern: "Grandpa, I didn't hide it from you before, so you can't blame me completely, right? It's not like you don't know the situation of our family. If you found out about my relationship with Yunyun at that time, you would be very happy." Isn’t he a mandarin duck hunter? So it’s not too late for me to tell you now, right?”

If it was in the past, Xia Cha might have looked at her with an admiring expression, lamented that he was old, and staged a scene of hypocritical and standard grandpa and grandson filial piety, but now, Xia Cha is really attracted by Xia Shutong. The attitude is too angry to speak.

She kept it from him for so many years, but what is the meaning of this flirtatious attitude now!

"You, you go away!" Xia Cha only said this in the end.

Like an old fox with its hair fried, it has no deterrent power.

Xia Shutong got up without knowing why, and when he walked to the door of the study, he turned back and sat in front of Xia Cha again.

She was still a little uncertain about the specific reason why the old man was so angry.

So Xia Shutong looked at Xia Cha seriously, and said slowly, "Grandpa, maybe... we can communicate."

After a while, Xia Cha let out a breath and said in a low voice, "Tongtong, didn't you secretly contact that girl Yun Feiwu without telling grandpa? Then you got married without telling grandpa. Married, this concealment lasted for seven whole years..."

"I don't remember. But it seems...it's true." Xia Shutong said truthfully.

"Tongtong, why are you doing this?" Xia Cha sighed.

"I can't remember the reason why I did this before, but I think it's probably because... I love her." Xia Shutong licked her lips, her voice was soft, "I contacted her secretly because I missed her, and I tried my best to hide it. It is because I am afraid that I will bring unnecessary trouble to her."

"Grandpa, I know that you may not understand my feelings for her, so...for example, I love Yun Feiwu, just like you love your industry and company. In matters of the company, you never There's a slip up, so I do the same with her. Do you understand?"

Xia Shutong tried hard to explain.

However, Xia Cha's face changed again and again, and finally he became angry again: "...Get lost!"

Did he come to listen to Xia Shutong's show of affection? He is not!

This time, Xia Shutong didn't stay any longer, and got up and left in a daze.

…

Although he was scolded by Mr. Xia for no reason, Xia Shutong's mood was not affected at all.

After returning to the room, Xia Shutong's smile softened again.

Yun Feiwu had already woken up, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she sat up in a daze: "...Ruanruan?"

"Well, it's me." Xia Shutong softened her voice, took off her shoes, and squeezed into the bed.

Yun Feiwu immediately wrapped her arms around her waist: "Ruan Ruan, what are you doing?"

Xia Shutong rubbed her hair, and said truthfully: "Just now I went to thank Xia Hongye. Then we chatted for a while on the balcony."

"Oh..." Yun Feiwu grunted, rubbed against Xia Shutong's waist, and then vaguely tried to lift her clothes, "It smells like smoke."

Xia Shutong blocked Yun Feiwu's hand, but her body softened: "Yes, Xia Hongye is smoking... Well, Maomao, don't move around, okay. I'm going to have dinner later."

Yun Feiwu really didn't move obediently: "So Ruanruan, what did you talk about with your sister?"

Xia Shutong had never called sister Xia Hongye a few times, but Yun Feiwu called her first.

"It's nothing... mainly because she was talking. She just... said something about me." Xia Shutong recalled, "Actually, Xia Hongye is quite a nice person, and she hasn't treated me too badly these years."

Yun Feiwu nodded seriously.

As for what she had cried here, Xia Shutong didn't say anything.

...so shameful.

But after a few seconds of silence, Yun Feiwu arched her body again, and said to himself: "There is also the scent of sandalwood."

Xia Shutong: "..."

"Puppy nose." She poked the tip of Yun Feiwu's nose with her finger and continued, "Then, after chatting with my sister, I went to grandpa's study."

"Oh…?"

Xia Shutong didn't hide it from Yun Feiwu: "Grandpa seems to be angry with me."

Yun Feiwu's expression immediately became serious: "Is it because... grandpa actually doesn't want to see his grandson go to jail?"

"No." Xia Shutong shook his head in bewilderment, "It seems that he is only angry because I kept in touch with you without telling him, and married you without telling him. But I think, with his character, You should be angry about something like this."

Yun Feiwu blinked.

Xia Shutong continued: "He is a shrewd and cold-blooded businessman who only cares about the result. Since I have been with you for many years and cannot change the result, why is he still angry? At first, I thought it was because he couldn't understand Our relationship, after all, he himself is not a very cold-blooded person, so I explained it to him, but after the explanation, he became even more angry and asked me to leave."

After listening, Yun Feiwu chuckled lightly.

"Ruan Ruan," she poked Xia Shutong's chin with her finger, "it's true that grandpa is a businessman, but at the same time, he is also your grandpa. I guess, he is angry because, as a granddaughter, you don't trust him, and you don't even get married. This important matter has been kept from him, and it has been kept from him for so many years."

"But..." Xia Shutong tilted her head, becoming more and more confused, "I can't talk about the word trust with him at all, he knows it well. Besides, even though I am his granddaughter, he doesn't care, he does. , is just an heir who can manage the Xia family property well."

Yun Feiwu said softly: "But Ruan Ruan, people are very complicated, not to mention... grandpa is old too."

Yun Feiwu couldn't hide the light smile in her eyes, she was always so soft and insensitive to feelings. Maybe this is why Xia Shutong is so calm and ruthless in front of others.

Xia Shutong was stunned for a moment.

Yun Feiwu was right, Xia Cha was indeed cold-blooded, and he was indeed a shrewd businessman who only looked at the results, not the process. But he is indeed... Xia Shutong's grandfather. Perhaps even Xia Cha himself didn't realize that he had feelings for his granddaughter.

And that kind of feeling is very weak, not one ten thousandth of what he has for the company. But now that Xia Cha has completely retired, he can no longer pay attention to the company all the time like before, and he has begun to live the life of an ordinary elderly. At this time, his faint affection for his granddaughter appeared.

In the past, Xia Cha only looked at benefits. He single-handedly trained Xia Shutong into what he is now, and he also knows that there has never been any trust between them. It is normal for Xia Shutong to hide something from him, and he would even be proud of what Xia Shutong did. But after retirement, Xia Cha would be sad and angry because of this.

"Maomao..." Thinking that he had figured it out, Xia Shutong was still struggling, "In this case, do I still have to make him happy?"

Although he had acted coquettishly in front of Xia Cha before, it was all pretended, and Xia Cha himself didn't really care. If he really wants to coax him now, Xia Shutong really feels... a bit embarrassing.

But Yun Feiwu sat up and nodded seriously: "Yes, I have to coax."

Xia Shutong said with a bitter face, "I won't."

She can only coax Yun Feiwu.

"I'm not very good either." Yun Feiwu sighed in her ear, and thought for a while, "The second episode of "Shanchuan" seems to be broadcast tonight, should we ask Grandpa to watch it together?"

Xia Shutong tilted his head and thought for a while, and felt that Yun Feiwu's suggestion was very feasible.

Although it was still difficult for her to act like a baby to Xia Cha sincerely, inviting him to watch the show together was a show that she and Yun Feiwu participated in together, and it was considered to be taking the initiative to show weakness to Xia Cha. Presumably at that time, Xia Cha should also take a step back along the steps, right?

…

night.

The family ate dinner in silence. Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu cared about Mr. Xia's emotions, but they didn't show much affection. They didn't even pick up food for each other. At most, they made eye contact from time to time, so for a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table was terribly stiff.

"Ahem..." In the end, Xia Hongye was the first to shake off the bowl and chopsticks, breaking the silence, "I'm done."

After speaking, he got up and left.

Yun Feiwu slightly pushed Xia Shutong's arm, signaling that it was time for her to speak.

Xia Shutong hesitated for a moment, then tried to be gentle and said: "Grandpa, sister, should we watch a variety show together tonight? "Adventures of Mountains and Rivers"... is the show that Yunyun and I participated in, and it will be broadcast later."

Hearing Xia Shutong calling her sister, Xia Hongye raised her eyebrows and wanted to sarcastically out of habit, but after feeling Xia Cha's sullen gaze, she pouted obediently and said nothing.

Seeing that Xia Cha didn't answer, Xia Shutong said in a soft voice as much as possible: "Grandpa?"

Yun Feiwu also hugged Xia Shutong's arm, and smiled softly: "Grandpa Xia, Shutong told me today that she hasn't watched TV with you for a long time, and she misses you very much, that's why she came to ask you like this. "

Yun Feiwu's acting skills are much more natural, her gray eyes are tender and shy, and her face is flushed, like a shy little daughter-in-law in front of her husband's relatives.

Not to mention Xia Shutong, even Xia Hongye had goose bumps, and the base of her ears turned red unconsciously.

No... Isn't this Yun Feiwu like this on TV? This... the cold big wolf dog suddenly acted coquettishly, isn't it too terrible?

I can't help feeling a little envious of my sister.

Sure enough, after Yun Feiwu's words, Xia Cha's expression softened a lot.

Xia Cha raised his chin and snorted softly. He didn't speak, but walked towards the sofa on his own. Xia Hongye followed behind him and hurried to turn on the TV.

Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu looked at each other with the same smile in their eyes.

When they walked over to the sofa, Xia Hongye had already turned on the projector, and an advertisement was broadcasting on it, and it would start in a few minutes.

Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu held hands and sat in a corner of the sofa in a decent manner.

Xia Cha sat in the middle, and Xia Hongye sat in the other corner.

During the period, Xia Shutong went to fetch a few more cans of drinks, and the second episode of "Shanchuan" officially started broadcasting.

As soon as the opening song is over, it is the scene of the six guests arriving at Lu Village. The six people got out of the car and marveled at the landscape in front of them for a long time before the director slowly sent a card to each of them and began to issue tasks.

There are a total of five check-in points: Yuanyang Island, Sanshengshu, Tongxin Cliff, Husband and Wife Bridge, and Butterfly Spring. Except for the last place, the names of the rest of the check-in points are ambiguous.

After Zhou Hanchi and Ouyang Chao saw the above words, they didn't have any superfluous reactions.

"Uncle Zhou, where do you want to go first?" Ouyang Chao scratched his head, looking like an idiot, "I'm a road idiot, listen to Uncle."

"I don't know either." Zhou Hanchi smiled gently, "Then let's go in order, and go to Yuanyang Island first."

Ouyang Chao smirked: "Okay!"

Then there were Jiang Feng and Xi Ao.

As soon as Jiang Feng saw the name of the check-in point, he pulled Xi Ao's arm excitedly: "Mandarin Duck Island! Three Living Trees! Concentric Cliff! There is also the Couple's Bridge! Which one do you choose, Xi Ao?"

Jiang Feng ignored the butterfly spring with the most common name.

Xi Ao sighed in disgust: "It's up to you."

"Then go to Sanshengshu first?" Jiang Feng happily pulled people away.

The last ones were Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu.

Xia Shutong stared at the card for a long time, and finally chose Butterfly Spring.

At that time, Xia Shutong chose Butterfly Spring to avoid suspicion, but at this time, comparing the previous two groups, even Xia Shutong himself felt a little weird—is it true that normal friends get along like this? Is there no need to avoid suspicion at all?

Xia Shutong didn't open the barrage because he was afraid that Mr. Xia was old, so they didn't know that when each guest chose the first place to check in, the barrage had already been discussed.

[To tell you the truth, I have a small doubt, why did Mama Xia choose Butterfly Spring? 】

[I'm also surprised! Why do you feel weird? I can’t tell what’s wrong…]

[As if... to avoid suspicion? 】

[Hush! 】Swipe the screen.

[I think it may be that Mr. Xia has figured out the peeing nature of the program group, right? Butterfly Spring was listed last, so maybe the program crew deliberately tricked them and put the closest place at the end? Mr. Xia is so smart, he must have been thinking about this at the time]

【right! This is our caring mother Xia, who refuses to fry cp! 】

[Yes, yes, I still want to see the beautiful mother-daughter relationship between Mr. Xia and Yun Zai. Other CPs can be used, but let’s forget about the two of them.]

Soon, the camera came to Yun Feiwu asking the children for directions.

Yun Feiwu asked for directions but was rejected, so he pulled Xia Shutong together and smiled softly at the children.

[Fuck...my Yunyun cub is too gentle in private! 】

[Is this really the cold goddess Yun? Ahhhhhhh my daughter is so cute and gentle Mom loves you! 】

[Even the children were mesmerized by Yun Zai's smile, I am Yun Juemei]

[Also, Mr. Xia's smile is so gentle! Both of them are so cute]

[And when Yun Yun made Mrs. Xia laugh, she was obviously very embarrassed, but she still laughed, she really spoils Yun Yun's cub]

[Beautiful Mother-Daughter Love] Swipe the screen.

However, when it came to Tongxinya's small theater, the CP party hidden in the crowd finally spoke out, and almost didn't quarrel with the "Mother and Daughter" party.

The first two groups were all kinds of jokes, noisy and noisy several times, and finally managed to check in when the staff turned a blind eye.

However, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu's painting style has completely changed...

Yun Feiwu's acting skills have never been talked about, no matter what he plays, there will be no trace of "acting". At this time, she played a young man full of enthusiasm and affection, and the same is true.

In the camera, Yun Feiwu gently held Xia Shutong's finger, knelt on one knee, and the light in his gray eyes was so sincere and warm that it was impossible to resist.

And Xia Shutong's aura also changed instantly.

From the frightening Mr. Xia to the shy little girl who was confessed, her ears were completely red, and her eyes were evasively looking at the lake, not daring to look at Yun Feiwu.

The audience in front of the TV couldn't help but wonder, could Xia Shutong be pulled into her arms easily by Yun Feiwu at this time?

I don’t know who sent a sentence: [噫~~~~~~~~~~]

Immediately afterwards, the bullet screen was swiped by a series of "噫".

It wasn't until the whole sitcom was over and the staff yelled "Cut", that someone realized: Was that acting just now?

Or just a simple sitcom?

They almost thought that Yun Feiwu was going to be with Xia Shutong!

Although at this time, Xia Shutong had returned to his usual demeanor, and Yun Feiwu had also lightly put away his smile, but the audience always felt that... there was something wrong with these two!

[Fuck, who told me this is a mother-daughter relationship? ? ? Mr. Xia and Yunyun are clearly beautiful love! 】

【Beautiful love +1】

[+10086! 】

[Don't just think about CP when you see everything, it's clearly Mr. Xia and Yun Yun who are good at acting]

【Yes, I don’t know what to think if I see you guys flirting with them here】

【Yun Yun is an employee of Mr. Xia, if they really see someone licking their CP, they will be very embarrassed】

[What's embarrassing? They are clearly a couple! 】

【Yes, the relationship between steaming and cooking is good, so you don't need to embarrass others】
