Chapter 40 Li Lu Night Talk
Ten o'clock in the evening, in the west room of the main building of the agricultural machinery compound.
"No, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm...Okay then, remember to notify me before you come."
After hanging up the phone, Lv Liping, wrapped in her military coat, sat on the bed for a long time. Then she got up and filled a basin with hot water, intending to soak her feet before going to bed to rest.
Just now, Sun Haiying said on the phone that he would come to visit the crew. The implication of his words was that he wanted to take advantage of this meeting to formally confirm their relationship.
He also revealed his idea of getting married this year.
According to Sun Haiying, they are both not young anymore and can't just drag their feet like young people.
Yes, you are not young anymore.
Lu Liping soaked her feet in the warm water and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although she felt that she had maintained herself fairly well and her figure was only slightly plumper than when she was young, the people and things she had encountered in the past two years seemed to remind her all the time: You are no longer young.
This is especially evident in career.
The roles that Lv Liping has been asked to play recently are basically middle-aged or elderly roles such as mothers-in-law. She thought that the success of "The Passionate Years" was enough to prove that she could still play young people, but the facts disappointed her again and again.
Am I really old?
Lu Liping raised her hand and stroked her cheek, a faint feeling of loss and unwillingness surged in her heart.
Bang, bang, bang~
"Empress Dowager, open the door, open the door!"
Hearing the drunken voice, Lv Liping responded helplessly: "Wait, I'm washing my feet, wait for me to wipe them clean first."
The people outside obviously didn't hear this and continued to bang on the door and shout "Empress Dowager".
Lv Liping had to wipe her hair twice hurriedly, walked forward in her slippers to open the door, and then Li Xiaolu staggered in - it was obvious that Li Dazui could not stay in the single room this time. The reason given by the crew was to allow her and Lv Liping to develop a tacit understanding.
Lv Liping helped Li Xiaolu sit on the bed, poured her a cup of hot water, and complained: "Why did you drink so much today? You are a little girl, aren't you afraid of any accidents?"
These things should have been done by Li Xiaolu's assistant, but Li Xiaolu sent the assistant away a few days ago because she was annoyed that the assistant was too controlling.
"What are you afraid of?"
Li Xiaolu kicked off the heels of her sneakers and threw them under the bed opposite her. She then chuckled and said, "Queen Mother, you didn't see our Seventh Prince. He drank a lot and even vomited all over himself."
Lu Liping had been with her day and night these days, so she naturally knew why Li Chen got her drunk.
He couldn't help but scolded her, "You're the same. You ordered Li Chen around and now you're doing this Xu, Xu..."
"Xu Kun."
"Yes, you brought Xu Kun into the group, and you even pulled him around in public. What do you think Li Chen will think?"
"Think whatever you want."
Li Xiaolu curled up lazily on the bed, leaning against the pillow and said disapprovingly: "I didn't sell myself to him."
"Hey, you young people are really..."
Lv Liping kept shaking her head. In her heart, she neither agreed with Li Xiaolu's approach nor envied her youthful boldness.
Ten years ago, I was as high-spirited as her. At that time, the character Ge Ling I played was popular all over the country and was regarded as the representative of new-age urban women.
But now...
Beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.
Lv Liping suppressed her sadness and tried to probe: "What's going on between you and Xu Kun? Are you attracted to him? I heard that he is not from a professional background and just came to Beijing to play a minor role recently. In terms of background and future prospects, he can't compare with Li Chen."
"Him?" Hearing Lv Liping mention Xu Kun, Li Xiaolu couldn't help but chuckle, "He's just a stinky hooligan who wants to take advantage but doesn't want to take responsibility. How can I... Ugh~"
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly felt a surge in her throat.
Lu Liping quickly brought a trash can, patted her on the back and asked her to lie on the edge of the bed to vomit.
After cleaning up the mess, Li Xiaolu drank some hot water and became noticeably more sober than before.
Lü Liping couldn't help but remind her again: "If that's the case, then you have to control yourself. It's best to have less contact with Xu Kun in the future - young girls should learn to love themselves."
"Pfft~hahaha!"
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Li Xiaolu burst into laughter, pounding her pillow and saying, "My Queen Mother, this is not the Qing Dynasty anymore. What you are talking about is all outdated."
After a pause, she couldn't help but add, "Besides, aren't you getting married for the third time soon?"
The obvious implication is: If you knew how to love yourself, how could you have married three times?
This really hit Lv Liping's lungs, and she was so angry that she said coldly: "How can this be the same? We divorced because of emotional discord after marriage, how can we be like you..."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes."
Li Xiaolu lay down and waved her hands perfunctorily, "Just pretend I was wrong. Your Majesty, please don't bear grudges. Let's go to sleep quickly. We still have to shoot tomorrow."
She now feels very good about herself. When she treats Lü Liping, she even looks down on her and sympathizes with her. So what if she was the first generation of Mou Girl? So what if she was famous all over the country? She still has to play a supporting role for me!
And looking at this old-fashioned face, I'm afraid she can only play the role of a nagging mother in the future.
This perfunctory attitude of hanging up the banner of avoiding fighting after stirring up a hornet's nest made Lv Liping very angry. She kept blaming Li Xiaolu for doing something wrong and for having such a bad attitude, which was simply unreasonable.
He even threatened that if Li Xiaolu continued to do as she pleased and hang out with that Xu Kun, he would report the matter to Li Xiaolu's parents.
Li Xiaolu's parents are also in the circle. Although Lv Liping is not very familiar with the couple, she can always get in touch with them in a roundabout way.
This also touched Li Xiaolu's sore spot. She sat up and said excitedly: "Then go and tell them. Do you think they are too embarrassed to control me?"
Only then did Lv Liping remember the rumors in the circle, and she suddenly felt that she had found the root of the problem. She felt sympathy and her anger subsided a lot.
He shook his head and said, "I'm doing this for your own good, young girl..."
"What's wrong with young girls?"
She softened, but Li Xiaolu didn't stop, and said angrily: "I make my own decisions on my own affairs, and I don't need others to point fingers at me! I think it's because of your old feudal mentality that you can't keep up with the times, so you can only play the role of a nagging mother."
At this point, she sneered disdainfully: "Humph, in order to become popular again, you have to take the initiative to tie yourself up with an old and ugly man. Isn't that shameful?!"
"you you!"
"What are you!"
Li Dazui continued to speak with full force, "Isn't that Sun Haiying old and ugly? It's amazing that you can eat him! Don't say that I don't like him now. Even if I am your age in another 20 years, I will still not like this old-fashioned dish!"
It is said that you should not hit people in the face or expose their shortcomings when scolding them, but every word Li Xiaolu said pierced into Lv Liping's heart.
In fact, Lv Liping was not very satisfied with Sun Haiying. After all, her first two husbands were good-looking, but Sun Haiying looked haggard and prematurely aged.
The reason why she agreed to Sun Haiying's pursuit was, firstly, that she felt she was not young anymore and could not ask for too much; secondly, she was a little overwhelmed by Sun Haiying's enthusiasm.
As a result, Li Xiaolu actually used this matter to ridicule him in person. This was truly intolerable.
So the two of them had a big quarrel...
