red and white roses together

Chapter 87 The Seventh Rose

As a result of the final verdict, Ji Congxiao compensated Jing Huan with sky-high liquidated damages, and the contract was terminated.

In just a few hours, the news that Ji Congxiao lost the lawsuit quickly spread throughout the Internet.It directly overwhelms all the hot topics and firmly occupies the first place in the hot search.

In addition to this result, Ye Zhuo's testimony was also passed on.

Playing big names, beating and intimidating artists, ignorant of repentance, taking the initiative to unspoken rules, discrediting the company, beating them up, one after another, the black material broke out, making the black people jump up and down with joy, and completely angered those who originally supported him, whether it was fans or passers-by, They thought they were deceived, wasted their feelings, wasted their kindness, and wasted their justice. Their dissatisfaction with the loss made them vent their anger multiple times. They scolded, despised and protested on Ji Congxiao's Weibo, with a tendency to drive people out. The momentum of the entertainment industry.

Of course, in contrast to this, there are fans who firmly believe in him, as well as many passers-by who are still rational.From Ji Congxiao's candid attitude of suing, from his true feelings in the video, from his daring past, from his previous indifference to these resources and his attitude towards unspoken rules. Attitude analysis, and finally decided to stand on Ji Congxiao's side, thinking that there are obvious tricks here.

Besides them, some people in the circle also expressed their support for Ji Congxiao.Needless to say, Sheng Huaiqiao Yi, Han Lue and He Liuliu also issued statements successively, and several directors and artists who have worked with him before, such as Director Guan, also expressed their support for him, which is the most unimaginable What's more, there are many crew members, scene photographers, martial arts instructors, etc., who are on his side.

Although the number of people was indeed only a small number, reprimands and cursing were still everywhere, but in the end it gave Ji Congxiao some confidence, and it also shook the hearts of some people who were watching.

The two parties were arguing endlessly, and the quarrel turned upside down on the Internet. Immediately afterwards, the navy entered the arena, controlling public opinion, and gradually regained some of the situation for Ji Congxiao.But in the end, the three words Ji Congxiao have had mixed reputations.

……

Sheng Huai arrived in the imperial capital three hours later.As early as at Changnan Airport, he learned the detailed situation.At this moment, I hurriedly got off the plane and hurried to Ji Congxiao's house.When entering the community, I clearly saw a lot of reporter paparazzi squatting nearby.But he just glanced at it and left quickly.

The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor. He ignored the knock and entered the password to open the door.

The sudden sound of the door opening made the person on the phone in the living room turn around vigilantly.However, when he saw it was Sheng Huai, the vigilance in Ji Congxiao's eyes disappeared instantly.

He said to the other end of the phone: "That's it, you can check it for me. It's best to hurry up."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

"Check what?" Sheng Huai asked.

"Du Mingjing's recent movements. I've been ignoring one thing until just now." Ji Congxiao recalled with a frown, "Although there are countless things like giving away people for profit in the circle, I remember He once said that this is only a shortcut taken by people without strength. He has always sneered at this kind of behavior, and even regarded it as a threat to the other party. Then... why would he tolerate the existence of this threat? Although I also guessed that he wanted to target me, but this is really not in line with his style. He will not wrong himself because of anyone."

"So the biggest possibility is that this project is particularly important to him. However, given Jing Huan's status in the circle, joining this project may lead to a higher level, but if not, there is nothing wrong with it. Then, he is bound to win, It's weird to not hesitate to pay the price." Sheng Huai followed Ji Congxiao's words.He and Du Mingjing didn't know each other very well, and they had no business relationship. What he saw in the past was what the other party wanted to show, so that he didn't know the inside story at all.

Ji Congxiao nodded, that's why he wanted to investigate.

"Who are you looking for? Is it reliable?" Although Sheng Huai knew that asking this question meant distrusting the children, but when he thought of the little rookie who followed him, he couldn't help but want to ask.

Ji Congxiao obviously realized what he meant, and hooked the corners of his lips that were drawn into a straight line: "Don't worry."

Last time, he asked Xue Heng to find someone at will, and he didn't care about Sheng Huai's discovery, but this time, he was looking for Xue Heng himself.The price was a little high, but he wasn't... er, probably on the verge of paying it.

Sheng Huai looked at him quietly. He had been worried all along, and after Ye Zhuo's unexpected betrayal, Ji Congxiao's condition should not be very good now, either furious, or extremely uncomfortable.However, the person standing in front of him was calm and self-possessed, his thoughts were clear, and he handled things in an orderly manner, completely different from what he had imagined.Sheng Huai didn't know whether he should be sad or happy at the moment.Because he wasn't sure if the kid was really not sad now, or if he was just trying to force himself.

But that's not the point right now.

He put aside all his emotions and talked with Ji Congxiao about the most important issue right now.

"Du Mingjing finished the investigation, what about Ye Zhuo?" He asked softly.

If Ye Zhuo hadn't intervened in this matter and hadn't been betrayed by him, then Ji Congxiao could have won it all.If it wasn't for Ye Zhuo, even if it were any other person, it would be impossible to create so many false evidence and rhetoric, overthrow Ji Congxiao's evidence chain from the source, and blatantly expose all the evidence that can convict Jing Huan. Said to be a reasonable and legal punishment.

When this name was mentioned, Ji Congxiao was obviously silent.

Sheng Huai looked at him, observed his emotions, and tried to cut off the conversation when he found something wrong.But Ji Congxiao didn't give him this chance.

Silence is only for a moment.

"Ye Zhuo..." He murmured and said in a low voice, "He said that if people do not do it for themselves, heaven and earth will perish."

These were the last words Ye Zhuo said to him when the two met at the door after the trial.

What does Ye Zhuo want?reputation money.But if these are converted into actual existence, then he wants an actor, just like what he occasionally mentioned in Ji Congxiao's ear before, bring out an actor and become famous.And it's not just about acting as the actor's agent, what he wants is to create a legend, and he is famous all over the world as the person who created the legend.

So, what benefits did Du Mingjing promise him?This is not something that can be done overnight.

"How is your relationship with Rong Yun?" Sheng Huai reminded him.

"It's so-so, but he..." Ji Congxiao replied subconsciously, but suddenly his eyes lit up after he finished speaking, and he went straight to find Rong Yun's phone and dialed it.

The phone rang three times and was picked up there.

"Brother Rong." Ji Congxiao greeted.

"Xiao Ji." Rong Yun replied, "I've been waiting for your call for a long time."

"Brother Rong knew I was looking for you?" Ji Congxiao raised his eyebrows.

"Guess, but if you didn't think of this level, I will take the initiative to find you."

The mobile phone turned on the loudspeaker, and a deep voice came from the receiver. Sheng Huai raised his eyelids to look at Ji Congxiao, and secretly cursed, how is this normal?

However, just as he had this idea, Rong Yun immediately added another sentence: "After all, it's really uncomfortable to be in a relationship for a long time."

Sheng Huai: "..."

Ji Congxiao smiled: "Then what does senior brother want to tell me?"

"My agent is about to leave in the near future, and the person who will take over has not yet been determined. Moreover, I just received a Hollywood film contract."

His words were cryptic, but not difficult to understand.

It was nothing more than that Du Mingjing used Rong Yun as a substitute, and wanted Ye Zhuo to take him.This is a real actor, and those so-called legends, so-called fame and honor...

Rong Yun is exploring foreign markets, which is a brand new platform.Moreover, no one knew about this news, therefore, once Rong Yun succeeded, the credit would definitely be on Ye Zhuo's head, then naturally everything he wanted had already been obtained.

"Just say that, aren't you afraid that Jing Huan will trouble you?"

"Junior Brother Ji still has time to care about me?"

"No, I'm just asking casually." Ji Congxiao said speechlessly.

"Then let me tell you some more news." Rong Yun said, "My manager left early because I want to open a studio by myself, understand?"

Ji Congxiao paused: "Your contract..."

"Half a year."

There was still no emotion in the voice coming out of the receiver, but it was harsh to Ji Congxiao's ears.If his contract time is about to expire, then he doesn't have to be so anxious at all.It is entirely possible to wait until after leaving and slowly release news to fight Jing Huan to the end.

"I can't imagine that Jing Huan hasn't urged you to renew your contract?" Ji Congxiao asked with a frown.

"Thank you for giving me a very good reason."

Ji Congxiao: "..."

He understood, Jing Huan wanted to replace Ye Zhuo with Rong Yun, he didn't want it, he was not satisfied, as long as this problem was not resolved for a day, then he could delay signing the contract for a day, moreover, so as not to be suspicious.

"One piece of news is not enough to repay favors. Add some more. If you have no place to go, my studio welcomes you." Rong Yun threw out an olive branch.

But Ji Congxiao no longer wants to talk to him.

"I have a place to go, so don't bother Senior Brother." He squeezed the space between his brows, "When I want to clarify, I hope Senior Brother Rong can help me with a word."

Rong Yun naturally complied.

Ji Congxiao hung up the phone and couldn't help but sigh.

"Ye Zhuo wants to use me as a pedal to fall into Rong Yun's arms, but Rong Yun is about to leave. It's really a waste of money and money. Brother Sheng? What are you thinking?"

Sheng Huai raised his head and smiled: "Think about some bad things, but they haven't formed yet, I'll tell you when I'm sure."

He curled the corners of his lips, and pushed the person to sit on the sofa: "Also, that's not how people and money are used when they are empty."

Ji Congxiao didn't have the mind to bicker, and leaned back on the sofa: "It's about the same." He raised his hand and pressed his temple, "I hate these things the most, why can't we get along peacefully? Let's each live in peace."

"As long as there are conflicts of interest, there will never be peace." Sheng Huai looked down at him, took over his actions, and pressed for him, "Don't think about it when you're tired, I'll sort it out for you."

On the way back, Sheng Huai had already studied this matter over and over again.There are three main lines in the whole incident, and what Ji Congxiao solved just now is the second of them, which is the key motive.But there is another one, which is the most direct source issue that needs to be considered.And the source of this is the crew of "Heze".

The reason why Ye Zhuo was able to overthrow all of Ji Congxiao's conclusions was because he imposed an original sin on Ji Congxiao, turning everything that could be condemned into a normal operation.But as long as it is proven that what happened to Ji Congxiao on the crew of "Heze" is not true, and the truth of what happened is restored, then everything that follows will be like a domino, overturning one, and the rest will be solved easily. up.

"But it's not that simple." Ji Congxiao looked up at him.The key figures of the entire crew must have been silenced, and the rest of them are naturally irrelevant.

"Where's the entertainer who changed the wine for you?"

Ji Congxiao shook his head: "Impossible. The reason why I changed the wine at the beginning was because I accidentally turned around for her, and the change of wine was only in private at that time. This time I have to make a public statement. As far as I am now, it is almost the whole network. The image of black, the possibility is too small."

"But it's not impossible." Sheng Huai controlled his strength to press him, and continued to explain, "The reason why he didn't speak was because he had scruples. As long as this concern is resolved, then naturally there will be no problem."

Sheng Huai let go, half-kneeled on the sofa, and stroked his hair: "I'll take care of this."

……

Night comes especially fast on rainy days.After these words were finished, the sky had already darkened.Sheng Huai went to prepare dinner, Ji Congxiao moved to the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the night outside the window in a daze.

These things cannot be accomplished overnight, what is needed now is to wait for news.And without the cover of being busy, those things that were deliberately avoided just surfaced in the empty mind like this, making people have to face up to it.

There was no light in the room, only the dim light in the kitchen.

After Sheng Huai quickly ordered two bowls of noodles, as soon as he came out, he saw the child sitting on the sofa in front of the French window lost in thought.Suddenly, my heart hurts.

He walked over in the dark, squeezed into a sofa, and took his little friend into his arms.

Ji Congxiao changed his posture, leaned on his shoulder, and retracted his whole body between his arms.He pressed against Sheng Huai's neck, and after a while, he said softly: "This time... I'm not ready."

Sheng Huai felt uncomfortable, and hugged him tighter.

The children in his family habitually plan for the worst before making a decision before interacting with others, and review it in advance, so that when it really comes, they will not be sad or overwhelmed.

However, Ji Congxiao was not prepared for Ye Zhuo's betrayal, nor was he mentally prepared.

He thought that the relationship between them had already been written off when he left the other party's office, and no one owed anyone else.Since then, the road has been turned upside down, and passers-by come and go.His psychological preparation for Ye Zhuo had already been used when the other party gave up and left, so that the sudden betrayal that followed was like a sharp knife, piercing hard into his heart unimpeded.

It's still hard for him to accept it now, he can't believe it.

Sheng Huai patted his back, touched his forehead, and coaxed him in a low voice: "It's okay, it will pass soon."

"I still can't figure out why." Ji Congxiao frowned, "In the office, when I asked him if he knew about it, he was very surprised and even relaxed for my safety, but How long has it been, why..."

He didn't say any more.

"Because in people's hearts, there are many sorts. All people and things are marked with one, two, three, and four. When there is a conflict, it is self-evident which one to sacrifice."

Ji Congxiao pursed the corners of his lips, and laughed softly at himself: "Then my ranking is probably very bad. In my mother's heart, I am not as good as my father, and in my father's heart, I am not as good as an illegitimate child and the company."

"But..." He pondered for a moment, "It's probably good for Xiao Qiao. He chose me between acting and me."

Saying this, the originally deep and depressed voice became a little lighter.

Sheng Huai frowned, and kissed his hair: "With me, you are number one."

Ji Congxiao looked up at him.

"Always be number one, nothing is more important than you."

Ji Congxiao finally laughed, put his arms around his neck, and rubbed him lightly.

"What are you going to do next?" Sheng Huai asked.

"I spend little money, and I have saved a lot over the years. Adding this house and a car, I can make it together." Ji Congxiaohuan lifted his head from Sheng Huai's shoulders, and glanced around at the house immersed in the darkness. In this apartment, he originally planned to spend the rest of his life here, but it's a pity...

However, there was no way, the lawsuit was lost, and he had to pay Jing Huan sky-high compensation and termination fee.This is the only good news. Although the prosecution failed, it was successfully resolved.Although in his opinion, it was Du Mingjing who felt that he had no room to stand up, so he just threw it away.

Sheng Huai still hugged him, and asked softly: "Are you here to sing the praises of heaven?"

He brings up the question for the third time.

This time, Ji Congxiao didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement: "I'll go after I've settled the matter."

Sheng Huai frowned: "I mean, let Tiansong come forward to solve this matter for you."

Ji Congxiao was startled, and realized: "You asked Tiansong to pay me?" He quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, although you have shares in it, it's not yours after all."

He looked serious, thinking for himself, Sheng Huai had no choice but to accept it.Immediately afterwards, he proposed the second solution: "Then let me help you pay half of it?"

Ji Congxiao declined.

"You don't need to be polite with me, you said it yourself, we will be together forever, so why do you have to distinguish so clearly?"

Ji Congxiao remained silent.

Sheng Huai frowned, and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, trying to persuade him gently: "I don't want to see you with nothing."

Ji Congxiao bent his lips, and his face was vivid and reckless in the neon lights and shadows: "I won't have nothing, I still have you."

"kid……"

Although the words of love are really nice, but now Sheng Huai is not in the mood to listen to the words of love, he just wants to persuade him again.However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Ji Congxiao watching him quietly, his eyes serious and persistent against the neon lights outside the window.

Sheng Huai knew that he couldn't persuade him.But he really didn't understand why the other party didn't accept it.His brows gradually drew together, but he didn't say any more.

……

Ji Congxiao slept until the sun was high, and when he woke up, the other half of the bed had lost the heat.He woke up suddenly, quickly lifted the quilt to get up, searched the house back and forth, but never found Sheng Huai.

He stood silent in the empty living room.

When Gu Yangyang came over, he didn't move at all.

"Brother Ji...?" Gu Yangyang was almost taken aback when he entered the door.

Ji Congxiao came back to his senses, put away the expression just now, and looked at her: "Why are you here?"

"Here's breakfast for you. And... as I said, I won't go."

Ji Congxiao looked up at her, and twitched the corners of his lips: "Do you know how I've been hacked now?"

Gu Yangyang nodded. She has been paying attention to the dynamics on the Internet. This is her job, and she will not stop watching it because of an accident.Instead, she was more careful than before, and even stayed up late until her boyfriend forced her to sleep.

But this didn't affect her decision. She followed Ji Congxiao, knowing that those things were nothing but what Ji Congxiao was like, so she resolutely fulfilled her previous promise and followed him all the time. .Of course, unless Ji Congxiao stopped acting completely.

From the expressionless assistant girl's face, Ji Congxiao saw a sense of sight of advancing and retreating together, and laughed for a moment: "But I can't afford your salary."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Yangyang shook his head and smiled shyly, "My boyfriend said he wanted to support me, so give him a chance."

Ji Congxiao completely raised the corners of his lips, sweeping away the gloom caused by Ye Zhuo's stabbing in the back and Sheng Huai's departure this morning.

Leaving Ye Zhuo aside for the time being, the scars from the past will slowly heal with time.And Sheng Huai... He pursed the corners of his lips, even if there were some things that were hard to say, even if the other party definitely didn't want him to say that, he had to explain it clearly so that people wouldn't be misunderstood and angry.

"Yangyang help me hang up the house and car. I'll pack up after breakfast and move today."

Gu Yangyang paused, she didn't expect Ji Congxiao to sell the house at all, but the other party's expression didn't seem to be fake, she immediately responded and went to the side to make a phone call.

After Ji Congxiao washed up, he sat at the table and ate breakfast.The mobile phone that was thrown aside suddenly lit up, and he glanced at it. It was a money transfer message.The transfer person is Qiao Yi.He counted the zeros at the back, and he knew very well that the other party gave him all his belongings.Immediately made a phone call--

"It's not much, I'll make up the odds for you." Qiao Yi said on the phone.

Ji Congxiao smiled: "I don't need your little change, I have enough money."

"Really?" Qiao Yi was a little skeptical, after all, the amount was unusually large.

"I'm not polite to you." Ji Congxiao replied.

Qiao Yi didn't bother with his words, so he just said, "That's fine, then I'll find you when I get back. Don't look at those things on the Internet, take a good rest for a while, treat it as a vacation... "

Qiao Yi was afraid that Ji Congxiao would be hit, so he gave a few instructions, until someone urged him on the other end, and then hung up the phone.

Ji Congxiao held the phone in a daze, always felt that the voice that appeared on the phone at the end was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

……

When Sheng Huai called, Ji Congxiao was staring at the sun that had risen above his head in a daze, and the phone vibrated in his hand for a while before he realized it.

"Where have you been?" Sheng Huai's anxious voice came from the moment the phone was connected.

Ji Congxiao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "At the door of your house."

The person on the other side was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly said "wait" and hung up the phone.

This waited for more than an hour.

Sheng Huai didn't even have time to park the car in the garage, and turned off the car outside the yard.Through the windshield, the kid who saw the door was safe and sound was relieved, opened the car door and strode towards him.

He walked quickly to the eaves, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak immediately.However, with a glance, he saw two neatly packed suitcases at the door, they got stuck, and subconsciously asked, "This is...?"

Seeing his expression just now, Ji Congxiao felt a little uncertain, so he only smiled tentatively at him: "Boyfriend, are you living together?"

Sheng Huai was stunned by these words, and all the worries and anger just now were completely wiped away by these light and fluffy words. He softened his eyebrows, opened the door, and carried two suitcases into the house , answered this question with practical actions.

"How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you open the door yourself? The key fell off?" he asked.Just like he knew the password of Ji Congxiao's house, he had already given him the key to this small villa.

"Didn't dare to go in," Ji Congxiao followed him into the room, and when he heard this, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, "I'm afraid you're still angry."

Sheng Huai: "?"

He had doubts in his eyes, not knowing where the other party came from.Just as he was about to turn around, someone grabbed his arm from behind.Slowly, the warm body embraced him.

Ji Congxiao put his head behind Sheng Huai's shoulder and tightened his arms, as if to block all the possibility of the other party leaving.

"I'm not being polite to you, I'm not at odds with you."

With a word from him, Sheng Huai knew the problem.

"I actually don't care about these things. As you said, you and I will be together in the end, so why bother to divide you and me. But..."

He took a deep breath, letting the familiar smell spread across his nose.

"Brother Sheng."

"For so long, every sentence I've said 'you want to spend your life with me' is almost driven by possessiveness, which is so insincere. I don't want you to have the slightest misunderstanding that I am only because of this. With you. So, this time, I came to you alone. Now I have nothing but myself and you. But you are mine and can only be mine, so I can only take Make an exchange yourself."

"It has nothing to do with possessiveness, I still want to be with you, always, forever, without a deadline."

Sheng Huai frowned, covered his hands wrapped around him, and turned around.

"I didn't misunderstand, I always knew it. I don't need to express it deliberately, I know your feelings for me."

"But this is my sincerity." Ji Congxiao looked up at him.

"Then I accept." Sheng Huai bent his lips and raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't you say it yesterday?"

Ji Congxiao sighed, he didn't intend to say it originally.These words, these connotations, shouldn't it be more wonderful for the other party to comprehend them?However, whoever made Sheng Huai angry, he had no choice but to coax others with a cheeky face.

As soon as these words were finished, he obviously felt the hand holding his shoulder pause, and immediately raised his eyes to look at Sheng Huai.I saw the other party asked with a strange expression——

"I didn't leave in anger. He She came to me for something. I left you a note, didn't you see it?"

Ji Congxiao: "..."
