When Qi Qi heard that he was going to be kicked out, he felt sad as he thought about not having seen his father yet. So he pulled Bo Yan’s sleeve and asked him, “Why are they kicking us out?”
Seeing that he was worried, Bo Yan quickly said to him, “It’s okay, we won’t go out.”
Hearing this, Zhang Cong sneered, “Nowadays, these little brats dare to say anything. Who do you really think you are!” He looked at his assistant, “Go call the stage staff and clear out all these irrelevant people. It’s annoying to see them.”
Hearing what he said, Bo Yan couldn’t help but reply, “You are annoying.” After all, he was a rich young master who was raised in luxury. From childhood to adulthood, no one dared to say anything bad about him except Bo Feng. Now that a stranger was talking about him, Bo Yan’s temper also came up, “We are playing our own game. What does it have to do with you? Who are you to say anything about us!”
Seeing that he dared to talk back to him, Zhang Cong couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t expect that you are so young but have such a bad temper. This is where we shoot a movie. You don’t follow the rules and enter other people’s territory. Can’t I say a few words to you? You have no manners!”
When Bo Yan heard him say that he had no manners, he clenched his fists in anger and shouted, “You are the one who has no manners. My mother is Fu Minzhi. My mother told me to play here. What right do you have to say that to me!”
Zhang Cong laughed when he heard what he said, “Fu Minzhi? Everyone knows that Director Fu is single, so how could she have a son like you? You actually know this name. Su Qing must have told you. Your mother is Fu Minzhi? My wife is also Fu Minzhi? You call everyone mom, what did your mother teach you? Aren’t you born by a mother but not raised by one?”
When Bo Yan heard this, his eyes turned red instantly. He ran over, raised his fist and hit Zhang Cong. Zhang Cong relied on the fact that he was an adult and pushed Bo Yan to the ground.
“Yan Yan.” Seeing his friend being pushed down, Qi Qi hurried to help Bo Yan. He helped Bo Yan to stand up and glared at Zhang Cong. He didn’t know how to curse, but he was angry that Zhang Cong pushed Bo Yan, so he could only express his dissatisfaction in this way.
But Bo Yan was much more stubborn than him. He stood up, broke free from Qi Qi, and wanted to continue beating Zhang Cong.
Zhang Cong grabbed him like a chicken. So Qi Qi ran over and hit his arm, asking him to let go of Bo Yan.
Zhang Cong was annoyed by him and pushed him away. Qi Qi staggered back two steps and almost fell but was hugged from behind. Qi Qi turned around and saw Yan Qingchi looking at him worriedly, “Are you okay, baby?”
Qi Qi’s eyes suddenly became sore and he cried out in grievance, “Dad.”
Yan Qingchi hurriedly hugged him in his arms, patted his back and coaxed him, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, Qi Qi.”
He then looked up at Zhang Cong with anger in his eyes.
However, there was no need for him to take action, because Jiang Mochen had already knocked the man down.
Jiang Mochen looked at the person lying on the ground and thought of how he and Yan Qingchi had just turned the corner and saw Zhang Cong bullying two children from afar, and he couldn’t suppress his anger.
He was about to speak when he saw Bo Yan rushing out like a little cannonball, kicking Zhang Cong and cursing, “You are the one who was born by a mother but not raised by her, you are the one who has no manners!”
After Bo Yan finished cursing, he glared at him with red eyes.
Jiang Mochen hurried over and protected Bo Yan behind him.
Zhang Cong was kicked unexpectedly by Bo Yan. He was stunned for a while before he reacted. He then stood up from the ground and looked at Jiang Mochen, “Jiang Mochen, you are not from this crew, right? You come in our crew and you hit our actors. Do you think you are right?”
Yan Qingchi sneered when he heard it, “He is not me. You think he has no right to hit you, right? Okay.” Yan Qingchi let go of Qi Qi, walked over and punched Zhang Cong, knocking Zhang Cong staggering and almost falling to the ground.
Yan Qingchi shook his hands and said, “But I am qualified to hit you, right?”
When Zhang Cong’s assistant and the crew members came over, they saw Yan Qingchi punching Zhang Cong. The crew members and the assistant looked at each other, ran over quickly and asked what was going on.
Yan Qingchi ignored them, walked up to Qi Qi and asked Qi Qi, “Did he hurt you just now?”
Qi Qi shook his head, “I’m fine, but he pushed Yan Yan down, and he still held Yan Yan.”
Yan Qingchi was relieved to see that he was okay, and touched his hair, “It’s okay.”
Qi Qi nodded and thought of the punch Yan Qingchi had just thrown, and whispered, “Dad is so awesome.”
Yan Qingchi smiled at him gently and put an index finger on his mouth, “Shh.”
Qi Qi remembered that he had promised Jiang Mochen not to call Yan Qingchi dad on the set, so he immediately covered his mouth and nodded at him.
Yan Qingchi pinched his face, “So good.”
Since Zhang Cong entered the circle, he had never been humiliated like this, relying on Mr. Wang behind him. He was not convinced with Yan Qingchi and Jiang Mochen hitting him, so he wanted to fight back on the spot. Yan Qingchi was concerned that Jiang Mochen was not from the crew, so he did not let him take action again. And every time Zhang Cong moved, he would hit back. Zhang Cong’s assistant saw Yan Qingchi hitting Zhang Cong like playing whack-a-mole, so while trying to stop the fight, he signaled the crew to find Fu Minzhi.
Fu Minzhi never expected that such a fight would happen in her crew. She looked at the people in front of her, from Bo Yan with red eyes to Zhang Cong who had bruises on his face but was still unwilling to give up, and asked puzzledly: “What’s going on? Why did you start fighting?”
She looked at Bo Yan, “Yan Yan, tell me, what happened?”
Bo Yan was unable to speak and kept his head down without saying anything.
The moment Zhang Cong heard Fu Minzhi calling the child in front of him “Yan Yan”, he knew that he was finished. He looked at Fu Minzhi with disbelief in his eyes. Wasn’t she single? Wasn’t she the kind of independent, hardworking woman? Hadn’t she been pursuing her film career all her life? How come she had such a big son?!
Zhang Cong swallowed his saliva, his Adam’s apple rolled, and his heart was filled with fear.
Yan Qingchi couldn’t help but sneer when he saw him like this. Unlike actors, even for a well-known director like Fu Minzhi, most people only knew what works she had produced, but didn’t know what her private life was like, who she was married to, or who she had children with.
Yan Qingchi had long guessed that Zhang Cong probably didn’t know the identities of Bo Yan and Qi Qi and was just flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Seeing that they were young and were with Su Qing, he wanted to bully them.
Fu Minzhi heard his sneer and asked him, “What’s going on?”
Yan Qingchi looked down at Qi Qi, “Qi Qi, tell Aunt Fu what happened.”
Qi Qi nodded, looked at Fu Minzhi, and tried hard to tell us what had just happened, “Yan Yan, my sister and I were playing with the puppy, and this brother suddenly became mean to us and said he would kick us out. Yan Yan said to Aunt Fu, you are his mother, and you let us play here. He said Yan Yan was uneducated and said Yan Yan…”
“Qi Qi, you are not allowed to say it!” Bo Yan shouted, tears coming out, “You are not allowed to say it.”
When Fu Minzhi saw Bo Yan like this, she knew that Zhang Cong probably said something unpleasant, but she didn’t know what Zhang Cong said to make Bo Yan so nervous. She looked at Bo Yan and comforted him, “Yan Yan, be good.” Then, she looked at Qi Qi, “Qi Qi, tell Auntie what he said?”
Qi Qi shook his head and refused to say anything.
“Qi Qi…” Fu Minzhi still wanted to coax him.
Yan Qingchi interrupted her, “He won’t say it. If Yan Yan doesn’t let him say it, he won’t say it anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Min turned to look at Zhang Cong, “What did you just say to him?”
Zhang Cong didn’t dare to say anything, he just lowered his head and apologized, “I was wrong, I didn’t know he was your son.”
“So if he’s not my son, you can be mean to them and call them uneducated?”
“I’m sorry, Director Fu.”
“Zhang Cong, I know you think you are superior because you have a background, I have already said, if you can act, do it, if you can’t, leave. Do you want to leave?”
“Of course not, I’m sorry, Director Fu.”
“You don’t have to apologize to me, apologize to these kids.”
Zhang Cong immediately turned to Bo Yan and Qi Qi and said, “I’m sorry.”
“Get out!” Bo Yan said hatefully, “I don’t accept your apology, I don’t forgive you.”
Fu Minzhi looked at Bo Yan’s excitement and was a little surprised. Bo Yan was not an unreasonable child, and he rarely got so emotional. She became more and more curious about what Zhang Cong had just said that made Bo Yan hate him so much. She saw Su Qing standing quietly on the other side and remembered what Qi Qi had just said – he, Yan Yan and Su Qing were playing together. However, because Bo Yan clearly didn’t want her to know, she couldn’t ask Su Qing directly on the spot.
When Qi Qi heard Bo Yan say that he did not forgive Zhang Cong, he echoed, “If Yan Yan does not forgive him, I will not forgive him either.”
Yan Qingchi did not expect that he and his little friend would share the same hatred for the enemy and could not help laughing.
Qi Qi looked up at him, Yan Qingchi smiled at him and Qi Qi said seriously, “He just said some very bad things, Yan Yan is very angry. If Yan Yan doesn’t forgive him, then I won’t forgive her either.”
“Okay.” Yan Qingchi touched his face, “I’ll listen to you.”
Qi Qi saw that he was not angry and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Minzhi had a little headache. Zhang Cong apologized, but the two children did not accept it. What should she do? Should Zhang Cong be expelled from the crew because of the personal grudge between him and Bo Yan and Qi Qi? She was dissatisfied with Zhang Cong, but if that was the only reason, then it would be an exaggeration.
Just as she was worrying, Bo Feng came back. Seeing so many people gathered here where the area around had obviously been cleared, it was as if this place was specially cleared for them to talk, he was a little curious and asked, “What’s wrong?”
When Bo Yan heard his voice, tears came to his eyes. He turned around and ran towards Bo Feng, throwing himself into his arms and hugging him.
He felt wronged and uncomfortable, but he couldn’t tell Fu Minzhi what made him even more uncomfortable. He didn’t want Fu Minzhi to hear others say this about him, so he could only endure it. Now that Bo Feng appeared, Bo Yan felt that he had finally found someone to rely on and couldn’t help but hug him and cry silently.
Bo Feng never thought that just as he returned from making a phone call, his son would be crying. His son was so amazing that he could run away from home with a suitcase, but now he was crying.
“What’s wrong?” Bo Feng asked him while wiping his tears, “Aren’t you a man? Why are you crying?”
Bo Yan felt aggrieved and pointed at Zhang Cong and complained to him, “He scolded me.”
Bo Feng smiled, “If he scolds you, just scold back. It’s not worth your tears.”
Bo Yan whispered, “He also said that he was mother’s husband.”
Bo Feng:…
Bo Yan bit his lip and looked at his father. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and tears fell with his words, “He also said that I had a mother who gave birth to me but did not raise me, and that I was uneducated. Dad, why did you divorce mom?”
Bo Feng was instantly furious when he heard this. He bent down and wiped Bo Yan’s tears, and said with anger, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. You are a good child. What happens between dad and mom has nothing to do with you. You are a good child, be good.”
After that, Bo Feng gently pushed Bo Yan away, walked to Zhang Cong, pressed down Zhang Cong and beat him up. Zhang Cong was caught off guard and begged for mercy.
Fu Minzhi came over to pull him, “If you have something to say, say it. Why are you hitting people?”
“How can your son be wronged in your crew? Is there a mother like you?”
“If you were watching him just now, could he be wronged?”
“So it’s still my business?” Bo Feng sneered, “Who is this guy? Is he famous? Is his acting good? You also use actors with this kind of moral character. Is your artistic sentiment like this? I tell you, let him go, don’t let me see him in your crew again!”
“Bo Feng, how old are you, do you have to be so impulsive?”
“You are not impulsive? So you let your son be scolded, and you even support those who scold him.”
“I didn’t want to support him. Wang Xin is behind him. If he leaves, not to mention Wang Xin withdrawing his investment, I will have to pay the penalty for breach of contract!”
“Isn’t it just money?” Bo Feng sneered, “You decide how much you want. I have nothing else in my life, but I have plenty of money. I am different from you. I will never allow anyone to bully my son and still be alive and well as if nothing happened.” He looked at Fu Minzhi and asked her in a low voice, “Do you know what he just said about Yan Yan?”
Fu Minzhi’s heart trembled, “What did he say?”
Bo Feng looked at her with hatred in his eyes, “He said that Yan Yan had a mother who gave birth to him but did not raise him, so he has no education. Fu Minzhi, you are Yan Yan’s mother, but you let him suffer such humiliation in your crew! You will be sorry for Yan Yan for the rest of your life!”
Fu Minzhi never thought that Zhang Cong would actually scold Bo Yan like this, and finally understood why Bo Yan was unwilling to let Qi Qi say it in public and was unwilling to forgive Zhang Cong.
She bit her lip, feeling a bitter feeling in her heart, until even her nose was sore. She turned to look at Zhang Cong, slapped him hard, and said in a cold voice: “Chen Xi, go and tell the producer, I said, I will pay the penalty for breach of contract, and let Wang Xin withdraw his investment. Zhang Cong will never be able to join my crew again in this life. If he disagrees, tell him to come to me directly!”
After she said that, she walked to Bo Yan, whose tears had not yet dried and looked at him after crying. She felt uncomfortable in her heart. She reached out and hugged Bo Yan, apologizing to him, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Yan Yan.”
Bo Yan didn’t know why she wanted to apologize. He didn’t know that his father had told his mother that. He just pursed his lips and shook his head.
Fu Minzhi picked him up and walked away.
Yan Qingchi glanced at Fu Minzhi’s departing figure, and when he turned around, he saw Bo Feng kicking Zhang Cong hard and chasing in the direction Fu Minzhi left.
Yan Qingchi “tsk tsk” twice and looked at Zhang Cong, “I reminded you before, but you didn’t listen. Now you’ve hit a wall.”
Zhang Cong hadn’t yet recovered from the fact that Fu Minzhi had fired him when he heard Yan Qingchi’s words and looked at him with hatred.
Yan Qingchi looked down at Qi Qi, “Qi Qi, how did he scold you just now? Now you can scold him back.”
“Yan Qingchi!” Zhang Cong said angrily.
“Why, you still want to be beaten by me? Haven’t you been beaten enough?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cong was speechless for a moment.
Qi Qi didn’t know how to curse, so after holding it in for a long time, he just said angrily, “You are the one with no manners! Get out!”
After he said that, he looked up at Yan Qingchi, who smiled and said, “Well said.”
Jiang Mochen saw that he had almost understood the matter, so he reminded Yan Qingchi, “Let’s go.”
Yan Qingchi nodded, took Qi Qi and Su Qing with him, and went to the small tent where he had been waiting for the scene.
Su Qing lowered her head, took two steps, and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Mochen.
Jiang Mochen noticed that she was always stealing glances at him and asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Su Qing quickly said, “No, nothing.”
Yan Qingchi teased her, “Is Jiang Mochen also your idol?”
Su Qing quickly expressed her sincerity, “No, Brother Lin, you are the only one who is my idol. It’s just that,” she was a little embarrassed, “I have only heard of Brother Jiang Mochen before, but have never met him. This is the first time I have seen him, so I am a little curious.”
“Really? Then who is more handsome, me or Jiang Mochen?” Yan Qingchi asked her.
Su Qing answered without thinking, “You are handsome, and brother Jiang Mochen is handsome too, but not as handsome as you.”
Yan Qingchi smiled.
Jiang Mochen felt helpless.
Su Qing looked at Qi Qi and asked him, “Is this kid your brother, Brother Lin? Or is he Brother Jiang Mochen’s brother?”
When Qi Qi saw Yan Qingchi, he called out “Dad” in a very soft voice, so no one else heard it except Yan Qingchi.
Yan Qingchi looked at Jiang Mochen, and Jiang Mochen said to Su Qing, “He’s not a younger brother, but a very close relative.”
Su Qing saw that it was him who spoke instead of Yan Qingchi and thought that the child should be a relative of Jiang Mochen, who was entrusted to him, so he came here to play with him.
She nodded and said “Oh”.
They soon returned to the small tent where Su Qing was resting. Su Qing thanked them, “Thank you.”
Yan Qingchi looked at her and was still a little worried about her. Zhang Cong was fired from the crew of “Jianghu in the Mist”. He must be resentful of the people who were present just now. But whether it was him, Fu Minzhi, Qi Qi, or Bo Yan, none of them could be dealt with by Zhang Cong and his backer Wang Xin. The only one who was easiest to attack was Su Qing.
He looked at Su Qing and asked her, “Do you know why I didn’t ask you to explain what happened just now?”
Su Qing shook her head.
Yan Qingchi said, “Because I’m afraid Zhang Cong will hate you because of this. You know, you are in this circle, and he is also in this circle. He has a backer behind him, and you have nothing. It’s easy for him to bully you.”
Su Qing nodded, “I know.” Just like those Japanese troops found it easy to bully Yin Ling who had nothing.
She looked at Yan Qingchi, “But it doesn’t matter. At worst, I will just stop acting in the future. If I’m not in this circle, he can’t bully me.”
Yan Qingchi smiled. He had seen Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoming act. She was a good seedling. There was no reason for her to quit this circle just because of Zhang Cong.
“Then do you know why I didn’t let you explain what happened just now, but let Qi Qi say it instead?”
Su Qing glanced at Qi Qi and asked him, “Why?”
“Because someone will protect Qi Qi, Zhang Cong doesn’t dare to bully him.”
“Brother Jiang Mochen?” Su Qing asked him.
“Yes.”
Su Qing smiled and felt it was great.
“You have my WeChat and you know my Weibo, right?”
Su Qing nodded.
“Well, when you grow up and become an adult, if you still want to develop in this circle, if you want to keep acting, tell me. Don’t just sign with an agency casually, tell me first, okay?”
Su Qing didn’t quite understand, but that didn’t prevent Yan Qingchi from being her idol, so she trusted Yan Qingchi unconditionally, “Okay, then Brother Lin, don’t change your number.”
“Okay.” Yan Qingchi said gently.
Jiang Mochen looked at them and listened to the conversation between Yan Qingchi and Su Qing. At that moment, he felt that he saw the “inheritance” – he saw his former self in Yan Qingchi.
He had been alone for so long, developing and expanding Nancheng, which he had worked so hard to build. He also felt tired and wanted to leave this circle, stop and take a rest, but he did not have the conditions to do so. And now, he seemed to have finally seen the person who could succeed him, the person who could allow him to leave with peace of mind without having to worry about whether Nancheng would decline after he left.
Jiang Mochen felt that he could retire from the entertainment industry with peace of mind.
