Chapter 108 The Corner of Fate (Second Update)
On the blue Hong Kong Island, only seagulls flew low, and the cry came from the sky. The sound of the cruise ship's whistle, accompanied by the lively laughter of the crowd, drifted away in the cool sea breeze.
The wide and tidy Esplanade is intertwined with the Gold Coast, and the beautiful palace-like huts are blooming against the sea. Palm trees look vibrant in the sunlight.
This is a quiet town. It seems that nothing has happened for thousands of years. People live a paradise-like life here. This is a lively town, and Ji Ji people come and go.
In early summer, the largest annual ceremony is held here. People from all over the world gathered here with their proud film exhibits, the Cannes Film Festival.
Before it was cancelled, the cheers were full. No red carpet has been seen, and the crowd has been seen, surging.
She walked slowly on her retro hollow high heels, her ankles were light, and her delicate toes were faintly exposed. Wearing a deep V satin champagne dress, the collar is inlaid with clear red diamonds. The skirt with no extra shape hangs down to the calves, and the skin is almost white and almost transparent, as delicate as cicada wings. Pearl earrings are just rightly decorated with small earlobe, and its light looms under the long-haired waterfall.
At every step, the roads on both sides are full of blooming flowers, daffodils, tulips, ghts, blooming to beauty, fragrant to fragrance.
The crystal eyes stared at something calmly, carefully repaired eyebrows, dark and slightly raised eyelashes, dark eyebrows, revealing a mysterious light. The skin on the face is light and transparent, and the plump apple skin is still pitiful.
Diana! Diana! Diana! ..." A throat-like scream lingered in my ears, and rows of cameras were facing me, flashing like the jewels here.
Many Chinese faces squeezed out of the crowd and shouted her name.
After accepting questions from reporters one by one and preparing to appear, the last question is: "I heard that I came in a hurry this time and didn't have time to watch a movie. Will I stay for a few more days after the exhibition?"
"It's horrible. The one at home is keeping a close eye on him. He has to be nagging for several days when he goes back a day later."
"It seems that he is sticky to you!" The reporter joked.
She smiled inadvertently at the corners of her lips, raised her eyebrows and shook her head and said, "On the contrary, I stick to him."
The film exhibition for several days in a row finally came to an end. She sat in the huge independent dressing room. The makeup artist finished his face makeup, handed her the comb as usual, and then left.
The slender fingers gently clamp the comb, flowing between the long hair at the waist, and a few strands of soft hair hanging down the cheeks, faintly revealing the soft curve of the side face. While combing his hair, he said something to the woman next to him in fluent English.
"Diana, are you really not going back with us? This is the first film you entered the world. The response has been so enthusiastic that you should seize the opportunity now.
"Elizabeth, you know I'm going back sooner or later. There will always be people I'm waiting for in that place. Her indifferent eyes stared deeply at Elizabeth, with an elegant and gentle expression on her face.
The phone on the table rang. He looked at the people on the screen and said to Elizabeth, "Well, I called as soon as I had a break. How dare I stay?"
"I'm coming," he changed to a mouthful of Chinese and said softly to the phone, with a child-like impatience.
"Would you show me what my baby looks like now?" A familiar crisp voice came from the other end of the phone, and his tone was quite majestic.
She immediately understood, clicked on the video call, and saw a boy's face. The child's eyebrows are slightly raised, his nose is high, his beautiful lips are slightly thin, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and the baby's fat on his face has not decreased, and his childishness has not yet taken off. He frowned slightly, stared over with a pair of phoenix eyes, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "I'm thin."
"Do you know what to do when you go back?"
"Let's see the performance." The child blinked and said.
"Wow!" He kissed the screen and pouted his little mouth. The child lowered his head a little disappointedly and raised his head and said, "It's not this! If you dare to be late tomorrow, I won't give you food!"
"Hey...!" He stared at him with unconvinced eyes, but the child said coldly, "I will follow up the flight information at any time. If I find that it is not because of force majeure, I will only drink porridge when I come back."
"Kid, why do you always want to control me?"
The child shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it's because he looks like my father."
"Where did so many ghost theories come from?"
"Maybe it's because I'm like my mother."
She hung up the phone and pouted her helpless face. Seeing Elizabeth giggling beside her, she had to tilt her head and said relievedly, "This child is becoming more and more like his father."
"12-year-old child, you never know what he is thinking." Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders, nodded with approval, and said, "Go back and say hello to Aunty Cheng for me. She hasn't been to the United States for more than a year, and I'm starting to miss her."
Get off the plane and walk on the familiar road. Every wisp of air here is so familiar.
The warmth of the summer wind and warmth stuck to her face, like groups of people already surrounded on both sides of the aisle, emitting heat waves everywhere towards her.
They called her name over and over again: "Shen Pocket! Shen Xiuzhen...!"
She nodded and smiled at each face that leaned over, reached out and touched the palms stretched out to her on both sides of the passage from time to time, and finally walked out of the airport with the support of the staff.
I got on the car sent by Hu Yue, waved goodbye to the fans who chased me, and then turned on the phone: "Kid, your mother, I'm really going to be late today. I'm going to meet someone more important than you first."
Afternoon tea is drunk in a resort in the suburbs. Aunt Cheng is already in her 50s, and she is still red, smiling and chatting. Long-term exercise keeps her in good shape. She likes to wear close-fitting casual clothes, and most of the clothes have a national flavor.
"Reborn series perfume has been launched for more than four years now, and the sales momentum has been very good. After opening the domestic market last year, it did not dare to be out of stock. Your franchise has brought great profits to the company. Thank you. Aunt Cheng said.
"Aunt Cheng, don't say that. You know that I am more than grateful to you. Moreover, that person will be very happy if he knows what I have done.
Aunt Cheng was silent for a while and asked in a kind tone, "Do you really have to wait?"
"Wait." Pocket said almost without thinking. Although she only spit out a word, her tone was very firm. She said slowly, "Wait, I'm used to it. I will wait until there is no news from him. If I can't wait, I will wait from the beginning.
The sunset in the evening fell on the table, shining the shadow of the slender arms. Pocket took the last sip of tea and said, "Wait for me at home every day. I'll go back first." I'll bring him to see you and Uncle Hua another day.
"I can't keep you anymore. It's too late to go back. How can I starve my naughty grandson?"
Pocket smiled and said, "I heard that the project in the villa area of City C has been cancelled, and no one will move on that site. I plan to take it every day in the second half of the year. You and Uncle Hua haven't been there this year, can you go with us?
Aunt Cheng shook her head and said, "Lao Hua and I haven't been there since two years ago. Since you have come back, we won't join in the fun. If you want, take over Xiaohui. He arranges to take care of the house now.
Aunt Cheng raised the cup and took a sip of tea. She is a senior essential oil refiner. Her hands are extremely beautiful, round and jade, white and smooth, as if taken out of milk. She doesn't have too much decoration on her body. The only thing she has is a small diamond on her ring finger.
I met Aunt Cheng three years ago. That was her third year in the United States. Taking the opportunity of shooting perfume advertisements, she was liked by Elizabeth's agency and took over two small dramas. Later, he was excavated by a Chinese director and invited to make a film. After two years of hard work, he finally enjoyed the fruits and was invited to the Cannes Film Festival.
Three years ago, not long after the Reborn series perfume was launched, the company introduced her and the project leader of the perfume, who was also the refiner of the product, so she met Aunt Cheng. When I first met her, what she said was perhaps the most shocking thing she had heard for so many years.
"Over the years, Xiao Xiu has been very unhappy. There is not a day that his father and I will not regret it. He finally came back. I had expected that he would come back.
At that time, Pocket only felt that this strange aunt must have recognized the wrong person. What did she mean?
"Sometimes I've been thinking that if I didn't tell Xiaoxiu the truth of the matter in those years, if I let him marry you in those years, how bad would it go? After all, you are all innocent. Xiao Xiu's father didn't want Xiao Xiu to live in hatred from the time when he brought Xiao Xiu to our house and asked us to change his identity and create news of fake death, but we... we still didn't keep our mouths shut. Because at that time, when he first heard that Xiaoxiu wanted you, his father was really annoyed.
Aunt Cheng's face was full of apology and regret. When she said this, she was not like talking to strangers at all, but as if she had known her for many years. He listened word by word and let himself clear his thoughts little by little before he finally knew that the woman in front of him was Hua Tianxiu's mother, that is, his aunt.
"I know that Xiaoxiu has a deep affection for you, and he was still on vacation in C City. That coffee shop has been hanging photos of the fingerprints taken by Xiaoxiu at that time. Later, two more photos with your name were added. After he went to South Korea, he only came back twice. Each time, he only stayed at home for two days. He looked at me, his father, and Xiaohui, and then left. Later, we learned that he would go to City C every time before he left.
At that time, it had been two years since she lost Hua Tianxiu. In those two years in the United States, she was so busy that she had little time to be sad, think about him and recall. When Aunt Cheng uncovered these things, Pocket felt that her insensitive heart had finally regained consciousness, even if it was not pleasant.
"Xiao Xiu and I have a good relationship with his father and younger brother. Although he rarely returns to China, he will arrange us to go to South Korea for a holiday the next year. I know that he doesn't want to come back. We didn't mention anything about you. Only once, I saw on the web page he browsed that his search engine was full of news about you, and my heart was pounding... We have always underestimated his persistence, thinking that as long as time passes, he will be fine.
He is very sad and very sad. He loves mountaineering. Once on the way, he saved a woman. The woman was two months pregnant at that time, and she didn't know it. Because the rescue was not timely, she had a misdeed child. Xiaoxiu saw her shed a lot of blood with his own eyes, and finally fainted in pain, and was once depressed. For a whole month, he closed himself up in the church and finally couldn't even say a word.
He hugged me and cried. That's what I dare not think about until now. It was after that that that he had a plan to return to China.
Every sentence she said seemed to be engraved on the pocket heart. Those painful and painful memories surged into her heart, mixed with guilt for Hua Tianxiu. She felt that she was going to split again.
"I know he likes to give you fengxins, so I began to study the main perfume of fengxins. At present, there are very few perfumes with fenginth as the main flavor, and the most made is the previous flavor. It took me a long time to test it repeatedly for three years, and finally made a good sample. I named it Reborn, which means rebirth of love.
No wonder, when she first smelled the perfume, she felt that it was unique and familiar, but she couldn't tell the smell of flowers.
"Because of the company, I often go to the United States. Two years ago, when I knew that you came to Las Vegas to record specials, I asked someone to send you samples. At that time, the product was becoming more and more mature, and it was my idea to invite you as a contemporary spokesperson. I want you to use the perfume that Xiaoxiu wants you to use the most. I also want to use this way to tell Xiao Xiu that his father and I have regretted it for a long time. We are sorry for him. Unfortunately, I don't know when he will hear this surprise..."
Tears blurred her vision, and she saw that Aunt Cheng's eyes had turned red. I remember that two years ago, on the edge of the iceberg, it was this woman who called Hua Tianxiu, and she answered it that time. Unexpectedly, Hua Tianxiu didn't even have a chance to hear his mother's last phone call.
"Why, tell me this..."
"Please, forgive Xiao Xiu... He... Whether he is dead or alive now, he must want you to live a good life..."
When it comes to the word "death", Aunt Cheng's tone is very calm. It seems that after years of precipitation, she has already been indifferent. But the pocket has stayed on this word for a long time.
Later, she learned that coming to the United States was a game. Her acquaintance with Elizabeth was not as simple as the arrangement of the program team. Hua Tianxiu had a deep friendship with the boss of an American brokerage company many years ago. When he decided to pay off the money for her, he already had the intention of being expelled from the world. Fearing that Gamer would be affected, her work would also be implicated. Hua Tianxiu paved the way to let her come to the United States and met Elizabeth. So, there were a few opportunities later.
She has also suffered a lot in the United States, but compared with foreign artists with the same conditions as her, she is lucky. She is not at a loss, not unpopular, and has been a noble person all the way.
She also foolishly thought that it was really a blessing that she had suffered for so many years. It turned out that it was Hua Tianxiu again.
It seems that she will never know what this man has done behind her back. Only when he comes to the end of the mountain and has no way out, and meets the corner of fate, can he know what he has done.
He will always be invincible. He would rather be ruthless to himself than heal her wounds.
"Actually, I have forgiven him for a long time, and I don't hate him. Since I announced Tiantian's identity, I have never hated it. If he dies because of me, I can't pay off what I owe him anymore. I want him to see that he still has a son. If he knows that Tiantian is his son, he will definitely come back.
