Chapter 280 Return to Twenty Years Ago (15)
In the car.
Shen Qingtang glanced at Ji Zeqiu, who was sitting in the back seat with her. The quiet atmosphere in the car made her a little uneasy, and she tugged at the corners of her clothes nervously.
"Um...thank you for calling me away, otherwise Sister Han will be nagging in my ears for several hours." She spoke in a low voice, interrupting the silent atmosphere in the car.
Ji Zeqiu raised the corners of his lips and just smiled faintly.
Then he took out a thick script from the car and handed it to her, "This is a costume drama. The director is currently auditioning for the role of the second female lead. If you are interested, you can give it a try."< br>
Shen Qingtang looked at the script he handed over and looked stunned for a moment, "Me? Can I really audition?"
She originally thought that the script Ji Zeqiu said was just casual. It was an excuse, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted to recommend it to her?
"I can say hello to the director and ask him to give you a chance to audition. Whether you can be selected in the end depends on the director's decision," Ji Zeqiu said.
Shen Qingtang looked at the script in his hand, with a trace of struggle in his eyes.
She knew this was a hard-won opportunity, but she wanted to win it through her own efforts rather than relying on others.
At least it wasn't Ji Zeqiu...
However, the image of her grandmother who was in the hospital flashed in her mind. She gritted her teeth and compromised, "Thank you, I will definitely work hard."
Ji Zeqiu nodded without any unnecessary expression on his face, "Where is your home address? I'll ask the driver to take you there directly."
"I'm not going home, please take me to the city hospital." ." Shen Qingtang said hurriedly.
"Hospital? Are you sick?" Ji Zeqiu looked at her again.
Shen Qingtang immediately explained, "It's not me, it's my grandma who is in the hospital, so I have to go to the hospital to take care of her."
After Ji Zeqiu responded briefly, he picked up his phone and started reading. , I don’t know what I’m looking at, and my face is a little ugly.
After a while, the driver drove the car to the entrance of the city hospital. Shen Qingtang thanked Ji Zeqiu again and hurried into the hospital.
Just before the driver was about to drive away, he glanced in the rearview mirror and spotted the small bag on the back seat. "Teacher Ji, I forgot to take Miss Shen's bag."
When Ji Zeqiu heard this, he turned around and saw a small white bag lying quietly on the seat.
Ji Zeqiu originally wanted to ignore it and wait until she finds it tomorrow to find him to get it. But she thought that if she complained to her grandma, her grandma would tell Lin Xu.
What should he do if his mother murders him?
There was a trace of irritation in his eyes, he picked up the small bag and got out of the car, "I'll send it to her."
Ji Zeqiu was lucky, he saw it first without asking anyone. He looked at Shen Qingtang who was talking to the nurse by the window.
"Ms. Shen, it's time for you to pay your hospitalization fee." the nurse reminded.
"I'm a little tight lately, can I pay it later?" Shen Qingtang looked embarrassed.
"You have been delaying for almost two months. If you continue not to pay, the hospital will stop treating the patient." The nurse said ruthlessly.
Hearing the nurse's words, Shen Qingtang's face suddenly turned pale.
She reached out and grabbed the nurse's wrist, and begged with red eyes: "Please wait two more months. I will definitely pay you after I receive the new script. Please don't stop treating me." Grandma’s treatment.”
"My grandma will die if she stops treatment. Please tell the hospital. If you give me a few more months of grace, I will definitely pay the money!"
Shen Qingtang couldn't help but choked with tears. It fell to the ground and slowly trickled down the cheek, which was heartbreaking to watch.
The nurse's originally expressionless face was also infected by her tears, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "I will help you discuss it with the hospital." "Thank you, I will definitely do it as soon as possible Get the money together!" Shen Qingtang's red eyes were filled with joy and excitement, and he held the nurse's wrist tightly.
Just when she turned around and was about to take the elevator upstairs, she caught a glimpse of Ji Zeqiu not far away. His face froze, and he lowered his head hastily, while frantically reaching out to wipe away the stains on his cheeks. tears.
After she calmed down, she walked over and asked, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"
"You forgot your bag." As if he didn't see her embarrassment, Ji Zeqiu handed the bag in his hand. Give it to her.
Shen Qingtang suddenly said "Ah" and thanked him immediately: "Thank you, I was in such a hurry just now that I even forgot to take my bag."
She hurriedly took it from him She took the bag, her heart beating nervously, fearing that he would ask about what she had just begged the nurse for.
However, her worries did not happen. After Ji Zeqiu returned the bag to her, he turned and left without saying a word.
Shen Qingtang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little inexplicably disappointed.
......
When Ji Zeqiu returned home, the sky had turned from blue to dark night, dotted with a few faint stars.
He passed through the living room and was about to go upstairs to his room. Unexpectedly, he saw Ji Yanli eating simple noodles on the dining table.
"Father, are you not full for dinner?" he asked.
Ji Yanli glanced at him calmly, "This is my dinner."
Ji Zeqiu was stunned for a moment, "Only noodles?"
"Your mother is not at home, so I will let you The servants can just cook some noodles. There should be some noodles left in the kitchen. If you are hungry, just go get a bowl." Ji Yanli said.
Ji Zeqiu's expression was a little subtle, and a touch of sadness suddenly surged in his heart.
Unexpectedly, his mother was not at home, and he and his father were like left-behind children. They could only eat noodles for dinner. This was too bitter.
Ji Zeqiu sighed, changed into home clothes, went downstairs, and brought out a bowl of noodles. He picked up his phone and took a photo of the simple noodles, intending to send it to Lin Xubo as a sympathy message.
However, I didn’t expect to see photos of Ji Tingyang and Lin Xu eating delicacies in a restaurant in the circle of friends, and even @ him to come and take a look.
He looked at the noodles in front of him again, and anger suddenly burst out of his body. He called Ji Tingyang angrily, "Ji Tingyang, you bastard! I want to curse you for choking on your drink and not going to the toilet. Paper!"
Ji Tingyang's voice did not come from the other end of the phone. Instead, Lin Xu's slightly angry tone came, "Ji Zeqiu, how can you say this to your brother? Please apologize quickly."
Ji Zeqiu was so frightened that his heart trembled, and even the hand holding the phone trembled.
I didn’t expect that my mother would hear my bad words.
At this moment, Ji Tingyang's voice sounded softly, with a smile that seemed to be a bit gloating, "I thought you would miss your mother very much, so I wanted to talk to her by the way, so I clicked on speakerphone, but I didn't expect ..."
"You must have done it on purpose, you bastard!" Ji Zeqiu gritted his teeth.
"Ji Zeqiu!" Lin Xu shouted his name sharply.
Ji Zeqiu was immediately frightened and whispered "I'm sorry".
