Chapter 68 "I think of my parents."
When Ji Zeqiu met Shen Qingtang, he knew that her blood type was the same as Wen Li's, and she and Wen Li looked quite similar. Similar, so he helped her when she was in danger.
At that time, Shen Qingtang had just entered the entertainment industry for a year and had many roles. Some had one or two lines, and some had no lines at all.
Even so, she cherishes these opportunities very much, feeling that gold will always shine, and one day others will see her strength.
But reality will only give her a slap in the face.
When she finally got a role as the second female lead and was so excited that she couldn't sleep well for two days, the director told her that the second female lead was going to be replaced and ruthlessly assigned her a supporting role.
Later the agent told her that because the actress had an affair with the director, the director gave the role to the actress.
"Sometimes in this circle, academic qualifications are not the most important. Taking shortcuts is not a bad thing." Her agent secretly advised her.
Shen Qingtang bit his lip, his chest seemed to be pressed down by a huge boulder, making it uncomfortable.
She stared blankly at the script filled with notes on the table. Her lip was bitten and she felt nothing. A trace of blood oozed out, and her mouth was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood and rust.
Unwilling to admit defeat, she continued to play a supporting role with only a few minutes of scenes.
Later she met a director at a cocktail party, and he took the initiative to talk to her.
"I've seen your previous plays and your acting skills are good. How about you being the heroine in another play I'm preparing?"
"Is it really possible?!" Shen Qingtang's eyes lit up, thinking that someone recognized her ability.
"Of course, there are just a few conditions." A smile formed on the skin on the director's face, and he touched the back of Shen Qingtang's hand.
The meaning of the words is particularly obvious.
Shen Qingtang's face was stiff, her heart sank, and she declined him politely.
But no one expected that he would actually curse in public: "Who do you think you are? I think your acting skills are good, but you don't know how to cherish the roles I recommend to you. Don't be shameless!"
For a moment, everyone in the cocktail party looked over, and their probing and teasing eyes made her feel extremely embarrassed.
"No, that's not the case." She opened her mouth to defend.
But no one paid any attention to her.
The director turned around and yelled to his colleague next to him, "You must never film with this woman in the future. An 18th-tier artist is still imitating others in acting like a big name, and he doesn't even think about how much he weighs."< br>
"Okay, okay." The colleague nodded.
After hearing his slander and the echoes of many people in the industry, Shen Qingtang's face suddenly turned pale as if he wanted to ban her from the industry.
"I didn't...he was talking nonsense. He was clearly harassing me just now."
The group of people seemed to be working together, but no matter how she tried to defend herself, no one paid any attention to her.
Ji Zeqiu appeared in front of her at this time. He smiled slightly and handed Shen Qingtang a glass of champagne, "Director Li, please stop joking. This friend of mine is very timid. How dare he talk to you? She's playing a big role."
The director paused, "Is she your friend, Teacher Ji?"
"Yes, for my sake, please forgive Director Li. She." Ji Zeqiu pushed Shen Qingtang's back and motioned for her to toast.
Shen Qingtang quickly raised the champagne.
"Haha, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Director Li smiled, not daring to pester Shen Qingtang any more, and turned around to leave.
"Teacher Ji, thank you!" Shen Qingtang looked up at Ji Zeqiu with a smile on his face.
Ji Zeqiu is a top-tier popular artist, so he didn’t expect that he would come forward to help her.
Looking at the similar smiling faces, Ji Zeqiu was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face was a bit complicated and subtle.
After a while, he said: "This circle is too complicated. If you want to stay away from the dye vat, it is impossible to stay out of it. This kind of thing will continue to happen in the future. What will you do then?"
"I..." Shen Qingtang clenched his palms tightly, so hard that his fingertips turned white.
She also knows that she will encounter more of this kind of thing in the future, not less. But what can she do.
"Are you willing to make a deal with me?" Ji Zeqiu stared at her with dark and deep eyes.
Inexplicably, Shen Qingtang's cheeks felt a little hot and his heart was beating a little fast.
"Instead of dealing with those people, how about you follow me? Accordingly, I will also give you money and resources to provide you with a background." He said.
"Why...choose me?"
Shen Qingtang originally thought that Ji Zeqiu would choose her, and maybe he liked her somewhat.
But he said.
"You are somewhat similar to the person I like. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
The small ripples in Shen Qingtang's heart disappeared in an instant.
Knowing this, she still agreed to the deal.
Because her grandma, who she depends on for life, is sick and needs a lot of money for treatment, there is no time to wait for her.
Later, Ji Zeqiu helped her a lot, finding a doctor for her grandma, and she gradually produced some works, and her name became known to the audience.
For Shen Qingtang, she was very grateful to Ji Zeqiu, so when she received his call and rushed to the hospital, even though she knew that he needed her blood to save Wen Li, she still agreed .
"Doctor! She also has rh-negative blood type. She can donate blood to patients!" Ji Zeqiu said hurriedly to the doctor.
"Great, come with me!" The doctor hurriedly walked towards the blood donation room.
Shen Qingtang raised his head and glanced at Ji Zeqiu, finding that his attention was entirely on the operating room and he didn't even look at him.
The tip of her nose felt sore, and she left with the doctor holding back tears.
Ji Zeqiu looked at the door of the operating room, his hands on his side shaking violently, cold sweat overflowing from his back, soaking the clothes behind him.
Car accident...
Another car accident...
The long-lost memories were opened. When I remembered that my parents also died in the car accident, I felt a suppressed breath in my chest, and I couldn't breathe anymore.
Ji Zeqiu's eyes were red, stomach acid surged in his body, and he desperately resisted the urge to vomit.
Lin Xu stepped forward and wanted to ask Ji Zeqiu to take care of Shen Qingtang, but found that his current condition seemed a little abnormal.
There was no color in his cheeks, and there was a steady stream of cold sweat on his forehead.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xu stepped forward and held his hand.
I found that the temperature of his palm was terrifyingly cold.
Ji Zeqiu held her hand instead and squeezed it hard, as if seeking a sense of security.
He closed his eyes, and it took him a while to recover. His voice was terribly hoarse, "I think of my parents..."
Lin Xu was stunned.
In an instant I understood what he was talking about.
He was afraid of car accidents, afraid of car accidents that would take away everyone around him.
"Don't worry, Wen Li will be fine." Lin Xu rubbed his head.
Although she doesn't like Wen Li, considering her son's mental state is not right, she still comforts him first.
"Not only Wenli is fine, but your mother will be fine too." What his father said was not yet certain.
“What did you say?” Ji Zeqiu was stunned.
