Chapter 571 The enemy general has been defeated
Since going upstairs, Liu Yifei never went downstairs again. Instead, Liu Tao went downstairs to get a lot of food and drinks, and then he kept eating and reading magazines opposite Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei was also looking through the script, but she couldn't concentrate, so she could only skim through it.
But the excellence of the script of "The Way of Heaven" lies in those "long and difficult sentences". Without the careful chewing of these "long and difficult sentences", what is presented to Liu Yifei is just an ordinary love tragedy.
This made it even more difficult for her to concentrate.
But if she didn't look at the script, she didn't know what she could do or how to face this embarrassing situation.
It was not until the noise downstairs gradually died down that Liu Tao, who had eaten and drunk his fill, put down the magazine in his hand and took the initiative to break the dull atmosphere between the two.
"I thought you would continue to ask me why I was here."
Liu Yifei put down the script in her hand, glanced at her, and said calmly: "Isn't this obvious?"
Seeing her so calm, Liu Tao became a little uneasy. He anxiously changed his leg and raised it, his black fish-mouth high heels bouncing up and down at a very fast frequency: "I thought I would successfully marry into a wealthy family like me, and then..."
Halfway through her words, Liu Yifei suddenly asked in surprise: "You married into a wealthy family?"
Liu Tao almost choked, and after taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "I got married in January last year, and I sent you an invitation at that time."
"Is this happening?"
Liu Yifei tried hard to recall, but she had no recollection of it at all. She could only shake her head and said, "Maybe my mother got rid of it directly - you know, her mood was so unstable during that time."
"Of course I know!"
Liu Tao said this with gritted teeth. Although she was cheated later, the grand wedding at the beginning of last year was still the most glorious moment of her life.
I thought everyone in the circle knew about this, but who would have known that Liu Yifei knew nothing about it - I had obviously been paying attention to the news about her all along!
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Although Liu Yifei was a bit of a naive person, she could see that her words seemed to have touched the other person's heart. She wanted to make amends, so she took the initiative to ask: "By the way, who are you marrying?"
"Yes……"
Liu Tao just started talking when he collapsed like a deflated ball. He picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he mumbled, "It doesn't matter who he is. Anyway, he is just a poor man with a lot of debts now!"
The room fell into silence again.
Liu Yifei originally wanted to encourage and comfort Liu Tao, but she quickly realized that Liu Tao's appearance here must have mustered up the courage to go astray.
What else is there to say?
It was not until half an hour later that the dull atmosphere between the two was broken again when the dull sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Liu Tao, with his face flushed with alcohol, stood up unsteadily and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to step aside for a moment?"
Seeing that Liu Yifei was holding the script tightly and had no reaction at all, she chuckled and went to the door to greet her.
The person who came could only be Xu Kun.
Seeing that Liu Tao had drunk a lot, Xu Kun avoided her advances and pointed downstairs, saying, "Young Master Wang is waiting for you in the lobby. He has good news to tell you."
Liu Tao curled his lips when he heard this: "What good news can he have? Could it be that all the creditors are dead?"
But despite what she said, she still staggered downstairs. Fortunately, it was an elevator and not a staircase, so there was no need to worry about her falling.
After watching Liu Tao get on the elevator, Xu Kun walked into the house.
I saw Liu Yifei sitting on the sofa, staring at the script. Her head was bowed so low that her long hair fell from her shoulders, making her innocent face hazy.
"Which part are you watching now?"
Xu Kun walked over and stretched out his hand towards the script, as if he wanted to take it and take a look, but when he dropped it, it landed on Liu Yifei's wrist. Then he sat down next to Liu Yifei, and his strong body leaned towards the girl, as if he wanted to wrap her up.
After all, she is a girl in her prime, with fingertips as smooth as cream and warm jade. This alone is something that old women cannot compare to.
"If you have any questions, you can always ask me."
Xu Kun spoke seriously, but his other hand unceremoniously wrapped around Liu Yifei's slender waist and pulled her into his arms. Liu Yifei, who was subconsciously dodging to the side, was bent like a bowstring that was about to break.
At this moment, two tears as big as beans fell silently on a corner of the script, blurring the words.
"Tsk~"
Xu Kun withdrew his hand from her waist, fished out his cell phone from his pocket, flipped to the page with Aunt Liu's phone number, and then stuffed it into Liu Yifei's hand.
"Look, this makes me like a prostitute."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Liu Yifei's waist and said righteously, "Well, if you don't like it, just call her and ask her to pick you upstairs - don't worry, I will never stop you!"
Liu Yifei immediately looked at the phone screen with tearful eyes, but when she stared at the familiar number on it, the glimmer of hope that had just ignited in her heart was shattered silently.
She knew very well how she had come to this point.
At this time, ask the main promoter for help...
Does it make sense?
If she was more mature, she would have exposed Xu Kun's treacherous face to his face, but now Liu Yifei just stared at the screen blankly without making any move for a long time.
Seeing this, Xu Kun shamelessly said, "Anyway, if you want to leave, you can call me anytime. Of course, if you don't plan to leave, then let's think about this role carefully. I promise to give you a thorough explanation."
As he spoke, his hands were not idle, and he became more and more unbridled in searching mountains, conquering seas, and capturing cities.
Liu Yifei did not resist at all, but her body was shaking more and more violently. After an unknown amount of time, her hand shook and the phone rolled under the sofa.
…………
downstairs.
Liu Xiaoli looked up at the ceiling from time to time. It was clearly something she had initiated with her own hands, but her heart was aching and she shrank into a ball, even the corners of her eyes felt a little hot.
Looking back on when the mother and daughter first came back from abroad, they were so high-spirited and looked down upon all the big domestic stars. All they were thinking about was how to use them as stepping stones to eventually realize their vision of returning to Hollywood.
But why did it turn out like this?
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, then repeated the words "I'm doing this for her own good", but before she had said it a few times, her cell phone rang.
Liu Xiaoli took out her cell phone and saw that it was Xu Kun calling.
Why is Director Xu calling at this time?
Did something happen upstairs, or did he want me to...
Liu Xiaoli raised her head and looked at the ceiling again. She was stunned for more than ten seconds before she answered the phone tremblingly.
"Hello? Hello? Hello?!"
However, no one answered the phone, and only some vague and indistinguishable noises could be heard.
What exactly is going on?
While Liu Xiaoli was wondering, she suddenly heard a cry of pain from her phone. The sound was sharp and dull, like a roar squeezed out from the depths of the soul, or like the first cry of an eagle after breaking out of its shell...
