Chapter 227: Learn the truth of 3 years ago
"What!?" Shi Yuxuan looked at her father in shock: "You...you mean Zhang Yang is the dog you hired for me?"
Shi Mingzhe smoked his cigarette one puff after another, with a look of melancholy on his face: "That's right." He called his daughter home today because he decided to tell her the truth. He really couldn't let his daughter go on making trouble like this.
She has had two problems recently. One time she injured her head and had to undergo surgery, and another time the National Security Bureau showed up at her house.
If this continues, who knows what big trouble will happen, and he, as a father, won't be able to handle it anymore.
"Since... since when did it start?" Shi Yuxuan was trembling all over, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.
"It started from the very beginning and ended after that night with the gangster." Shi Mingzhe buried the cigarette butt fiercely into the ashtray, but immediately took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it.
"Then... the relationship between Zhang Yang and I..."
"It's all fake!" Shi Mingzhe interrupted her harshly: "He's just pretending to be a bootlicker just to stay by your side!"
Shi Yuxuan's legs went limp, and she sat on the chair and murmured, "Impossible, how could it be fake? He clearly ate poisonous mushrooms for me, and fought with gangsters for me, and you tell me this is all fake?"
"That's just their dedication to their job! It's fake, all fake!"
"Devoted to one's work? If that's fake, why did you let me pursue Zhang Yang without any worries?" Shi Yuxuan smiled and said, "No, Dad, you just want to stop him from being with me, right?"
Shi Mingzhe's face twitched. He never expected that the bootlicker he hired out of his own smartness would actually trap his daughter. Now it was too late for him to say anything.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Dad just doesn't want you to get hurt. You have to understand that Zhang Yang has more than just you as a client."
Shi Yuxuan, who was already extremely shocked, was almost petrified, and the strange scenes from the past appeared before her eyes one after another.
She finally understood everything. It turned out that Zhang Yang was her only one, and she was not even Zhang Yang's only client.
But, was he deceiving himself?
No, when she wanted to confess to Zhang Yang, he rejected her outright, even many times. Instead, she pretended to have amnesia in order to win his affection and kept clinging to him.
But, does Zhang Yang really have no feelings for me at all?
After three years of living together day and night, even if it was fake most of the time, couldn't it be real at some points?
No, Shi Yuxuan is not made of stone, and Zhang Yang is not made of wood. It is impossible that they are all fake!
No matter how much of what he said was true or false, she had to ask Zhang Yang. She had to tell him her true feelings and express what she didn't say that night. Otherwise, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
After figuring everything out, she stood up and walked straight out the door.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Shi Mingzhe called out to his daughter.
Shi Yuxuan turned to look at her father. His hair had turned gray, but he looked worried about her. Her heart seemed to be pulled.
She smiled faintly: "Dad, I'm going to confess to him. Don't worry, I've thought it through clearly and I won't mess around this time."
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Shi Mingzhe stopped her again: "Go tomorrow. Dad will help you prepare tonight."
……
"Crack!"
With the director's shout, today's fight scene is finished and the crew is about to have a short day off.
Director Ma smiled and said, "Teacher Xia, all of today's takes were done in one go. You are indeed a veteran actor in tomb-raiding dramas."
Xia Xueqi wiped the dust off her face and said calmly: "That's what I should do. Isn't it good to save everyone time?" But her eyes were on the prop costume beside her.
"What's wrong, Teacher Xia?" Director Ma followed her gaze.
"I see the crew seems to have a lot of props, right?" Xia Xueqi still looked at the several sets of props beside her: "Can you give me one set each for the male and female protagonists?"
Director Ma was startled. This Xia Xueqi was really strange. Why did she suddenly bring up this request? But this was not a big deal.
However, he immediately called the person in charge of the props team over and asked, "Do you have extra costumes for the hero and heroine?"
"Yes, we prepared a few extra sets to prevent wear and tear."
Director Ma waved his hand and said, "Please arrange to send a set of costumes for the male and female protagonists to Teacher Xia."
Chen Ying standing by frowned. In the past, she would ask the crew for costumes only after all the scenes were finished. Why did she ask for them just a few days after the shooting started?
And she increasingly felt that this habit of hers was too strange, and her expression when she looked at those costumes was a little odd, which always made her feel uneasy.
Since she asked the crew for it in advance, she would definitely use it in the next few days, but she was filming here, why would she use these props? She vaguely felt that she must have some special purpose.
By the way, Zhang Yang must know something, send him a message and ask.
At this time, Zhang Yang was on his way back to school. Recalling the disappointed and angry look Dr. Lin gave him when he left, Zhang Yang felt uncomfortable.
Only now did he realize how cruel it was to give others hope and then take that hope away from them.
Although he has always adhered to his principles, human emotions are not that simple. It is not a set game where everything can remain unchanged.
The ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Chen Ying: "Zhang Yang, are you free? I want to ask you something."
"Oh, Sister Chen, what's the matter? Ask me."
"Well, I want to ask, has Xueqi ever worn a prop costume in front of you, the ones she wore during filming?"
"Yes, I wore a fox demon costume once on Christmas Day. It was really pretty. She also gave me a set of Emperor's costume to wear, but I had something to do that day, so I left before I put it on."
Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she collected these clothes for COSPLAY with Zhang Yang.
Wait! This doesn't explain why she wants the costume in advance. Zhang Yang isn't here, so she can wait until the filming is finished, right?
"Okay, I got it." Chen Ying hung up the phone.
She felt a little uneasy, thinking this must be more than just COSPLAY.
Xueqi is her cousin, but she is also her half-daughter, so she certainly cannot turn a blind eye to this.
Therefore, she decided to secretly keep the key to Xia Xueqi's room and wait for a surprise attack at night to see what tricks she was playing.
Chen Ying waited until half past ten in the evening and arrived at her hotel room.
This time is her absolutely private time, and Chen Ying has been repeatedly asked not to disturb her at this time.
Sure enough, when she got closer to the door, she heard some faint sounds coming from inside...
