Chapter 445: I Have an Ideal
She had originally wanted to continue to give Ye Zhiyun the cold shoulder for a while, to wait for her to take the initiative to apologize. But after only a short while, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. The main reason was that the news was really too suggestive. Yu Linna’s heart was also playing tricks on her, making it impossible for her to calm down.
Deep down, she was still afraid. She was always unable to force herself to be calm. She was always afraid of losing. Ye Zhiyun was her person, at least for now. She didn’t want the other party to leave her.
Although this report was largely to please the audience, Yu Linna still didn’t dare to be careless. This time, she took the initiative to call, to ask about the other party’s situation.
“Hello?”
It had been a while since she had heard her voice, and she still missed it a little. At this time, no matter how great the anger, no matter how great the resentment, it didn’t matter anymore. She just wanted to hear Ye Zhiyun’s words. Even if she was being unreasonable, she didn’t want to hear what she didn’t want to hear from Ye Zhiyun’s mouth.
“Zhiyun. You, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Ye Zhiyun didn’t understand her intention for calling. She was a little strange at the moment. Could it be that she had some ulterior motives?
But affected by the events of the past few days, Ye Zhiyun was still a little unhappy. She thought that she couldn’t just bow her head like this. At least she had to let her know who the husband was.
“I, I saw the news. You, and that Li Muqing.”
“Huh? That… those are all written by unscrupulous media. Don’t mind it. It’s impossible for me to have any relationship with him. That’s all in the past. Besides, nothing has ever happened between him and me. We’ve never been together. You don’t have to mind too much.”
“Mmm.”
For some reason, this girl was a little different. Ye Zhiyun had a feeling she couldn’t describe.
It seemed that Yu Linna had become a little soft, a little different from when she was at her house before. As for what it was like, she wasn’t clear.
“Nana, what’s wrong?”
“Zhiyun, I… we should stop fighting.”
For the first time since they had started dating, Yu Linna had bowed her head. She didn’t want to be like this either, but she was really a little uneasy. With Ye Zhiyun’s personality, it was very difficult for her to bow her head. Yu Linna thought for a moment and still decided to bow her head first. After all, it wasn’t good for the two of them to be like this all the time. They were dating. They couldn’t be fighting all the time. If no one bowed their head first, then the argument would not end.
“Well, I wasn’t planning on fighting either… and besides, were we fighting?”
“…”
“Let’s not talk about this first. I’m busy with work. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Zhi…”
She wanted to call out to her, but the phone had already been hung up. Yu Linna held the silent phone, always by her ear, unable to put it down for a long time…
…
Ye Zhiyun was indeed busy. After the New Year, she had to pull herself together, at least to get the company through the bankruptcy crisis. Naturally, she had no time to be with Yu Linna. There was nothing to be done about it.
Everyone has a time when they are helpless.
Yu Linna collapsed on the ground, hugging her knees, her phone slipping to the floor, burying her face inside. Sometimes she didn’t know what to do, which direction was the right one. She really wanted to know…
…
With nothing to do for the time being, Yu Linna was wandering outside. At the invitation of Officer Ye, she had gone to the police station, nominally to assist in a case. Regarding the death of her editor, Chen Xi, Officer Ye still wanted to investigate some things from it, but Yu Linna had nothing to say.
“Although I suspect that Chenghe’s side was involved in this matter, there is no evidence after all. And Chenghe is so big. To file a case would involve a lot of things. This is also the reason why we have been unable to do anything.”
Listening to Officer Ye’s words, Yu Linna leaned against the chair, her mind also beginning to recall what had happened that day.
Indeed, Yu Tianchen of Chenghe had been a little strange that day. How did he know at that time that what Yu Linna wanted to ask was about her editor? Did he have precognition? Or was it just a coincidence?
Now that things had come to this, Yu Linna had no way of knowing, and she had no evidence either.
The clue had been broken here.
“We will continue to investigate the subsequent matters. You should pay attention. Although we have no evidence, it’s not good for us to say anything. But what can be confirmed at present is that the driver who caused the accident, Liu Chenghui, had an inextricable relationship with Chenghe Company before his death.”
This matter ended just like that.
After the conversation was over, Yu Linna had asked Officer Ye to log into their police station’s population records to check if there was a family record of looking for a child named Yu Linna. After searching for a long time, in the end, no such record was found. Although Yu Linna had been found in the archives of a long time ago to have been registered as a child abduction record, there was no record of a family looking for her.
Even though she knew it was impossible, Yu Linna still felt a heartache after experiencing this disappointment. She was already twenty this year. For more than ten years, if her relatives were still alive in this world, it wouldn’t be that they couldn’t find her. Either she had been sold, or her parents had already died, and the three characters “Yu Linna” on the exercise book might even be someone else’s name, not hers.
Every time she thought of this, Yu Linna felt a little sad.
It was about time to accept reality. To continue to look like this would be of no use.
Many people online knew that Yu Linna had been an orphan before she had moved to Guangnan City, and no one had taken care of her. If her parents had known, they would have been able to find her through the news.
Perhaps she had no relatives in this world…
Really, it was about time to accept reality.
“What’s wrong, great author? Why the long face? You don’t seem very happy after the New Year.”
Fang Jiangning shook her shoulder.
Now Yu Linna had gone to Fang Jiangning’s house. Because she didn’t know what to do, she had no choice but to run here. Anyway, she didn’t want to write her manuscript. For now, she would just be reckless for a while.
Yu Linna shook her head and hugged the little bear in Fang Jiangning’s room tightly.
“I’ve been thinking recently, I’m already twenty, right?”
“If you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have been able to tell. Your appearance is no different from a thirteen or fourteen-year-old…”
“Ahem, don’t interrupt. When Auntie Wu picked me up at the orphanage, they said I was only six. Actually, I don’t even know how old I am. If you count from that time, I’m already twenty.”
Yu Linna lay on Fang Jiangning’s bed, looking at her family’s ceiling, a look of bewilderment in her eyes.
In a flash, so many years had passed. Unconsciously, she had grown so old, but the things she wanted had never come to her.
“Jiangning, you won’t laugh at me, but I, I kind of have the idea of starting a family.”
“You, you want to get married?”
Fang Jiangning was shocked.
“Well… I do have that little bit of an idea, but don’t worry, it won’t be realized now. Although it’s impossible for a girl and a girl to have children, I’m thinking, if I get married, I can also have my own family. Thinking like this, I’m a little looking forward to it.”
Yu Linna sat up and said with a smile.
The things she couldn’t get as a child, she would just have to fight for them herself when she grew up. Although she had no parents, that didn’t matter. If she could, she wanted to try to be a parent herself. A girl and a girl couldn’t have children, and Yu Linna didn’t want to adopt. Although future technology might also make it possible for same-sex couples to have children, that was a matter for the future after all. She wanted to try to get married, to start a family. That way, she would have a family.
Yes, even if she was angry with Ye Zhiyun again, she still saw the other party as her future partner, a person she could marry in the future. She wanted to be with Ye Zhiyun forever, wanted to start a family with her, to be a family for a lifetime.
She really did long for it so much.
Fang Jiangning smiled wryly. What else could she say at a time like this? But it was also normal for Yu Linna to have such an idea. She had been used to being lonely since she was a child, and always wanted her home to be a little more lively. And she had a lover, so she would indeed think of getting married and starting a family. Her biggest wish in life was to have a family of her own, and to be famous was her dream.
There was nothing wrong with that.
…
This one year had passed, and many things would change, including the entertainment industry that people were paying attention to. Tang Yumeng had been very popular ever since her movie had been in theaters. The movie she had played the second female lead in, Soaring, had sold very well, but her partner, Nangong Ying, had not appeared in the public eye at all, and there had been no news of her for a long time. The audience was very anxious and vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but they also didn’t know what had happened.
“Phew…”
Tang Yumeng leaned against the balcony and took a puff of her cigarette. She had also read those comments online. She couldn’t stand up and say anything. After all, Nangong Ying was now banned from filming for a year. Even if she stood up, so what? It was also the first time she had known that there really was a power that could cover the sky with one hand in this world.
So scary. It was a good thing she was not a person from Chenghe. To be in such a company, she might have been gotten rid of in the next moment. Such a company was actually the leader of the film industry. It was really ironic.
“Sister, someone is looking for you.”
“Who is it? Looking for me during the New Year.”
“A big star is here. She made a phone call to have an appointment with you.”
Tang Yumeng put out her cigarette butt, put her hands in her pockets, and walked downstairs to answer the phone. Through the other end of the phone, she learned that the person looking for her was named Zhou Shilan, the current queen of the pop music scene, and could be considered her senior.
“Senior Zhou? Hello, I am Tang Yumeng. Is there anything you need me for in your busy schedule?”
“Hello, Miss Tang. Actually, I have an unreasonable request this time. I am going to enter the film industry for a period of time and film a few movies. I want to cooperate with you. I am still a newcomer in acting. I hope you can teach me a little more.”
“Filming?”
Tang Yumeng was a little puzzled.
But she quickly felt relieved. The matter of Zhou Shilan’s recent transformation into the film and television industry was not something she had just heard of. Long ago, when she had starred in the Hollywood movie Speed Limit and had sung a song, the insiders should also have known that she had the intention of developing in the film and television industry. But Zhou Shilan’s main focus was still on the pop music scene.
It was not uncommon for singers to transform and enter the film and television industry. Now, many of the new generation of actors were singers who had transformed and entered the film and television industry, including many examples from the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the last century.
And Nangong Ying was now developing in Hong Kong. She had already discussed the time with the Hong Kong film company, and had also discussed the salary, and had officially started her first footprint in Hong Kong. This was also Nangong Ying’s first time filming a movie in Hong Kong. Unlike filming on the mainland, this time she not only had to offer exciting action scenes, but also had to speak Cantonese, which could be said to be a big challenge.
With the heat of the Spring Festival, the people who were paying attention to Nangong Ying had finally exploded online, questioning the film company why they had hidden Nangong Ying. A war without smoke had begun.
