presumptuous [entertainment]

Chapter 216 216

Tang Ruoyao ushered in the second New Year in the Qin residence.

Just like last year, Tang Ruoyao kept her "leisure". Now she doesn't answer the announcements she can take or not, and she really goes deep and keeps things simple.

She is not really idle, nor is she willing to be idle.She watches movies and reads books at home, goes out to watch dramas and stage plays, listens to concerts, spends time with her family, falls in love, and occasionally participates in entertainment with Han Yuping.

Tang Ruoyao has become more "Buddha", fans are getting angry one by one.

In the past, fans knew that she had joined the group and was filming on the set, but now they are completely blinded. She stays at home and does not show up. No matter how powerful the fans are, they cannot know what she is doing.

Tang Ruoyao's marriage had just been exposed last year, and the ensuing exposure rate was greatly reduced, making fans think of a terrible guess: she is not going to take a break, is she?

Returning to the family, taking care of husband and raising children is the choice of many married female stars.But how old is Tang Ruoyao? 24 is less than 25, it is the golden age of a female star, how can she stop working?

The fans immediately looked sad and wailed in various Weibo comments.

Empresses and concubines also share their sympathy.Who is Qin Yinong?Notoriously a workaholic, he joined the group continuously.Even the knives in the sky can't stop Qin Yinong from going to the set to film. It's not that there are hardworking people in the industry, and it's not that there are outstanding talents, but Qin Yinong is the only one who is both genius to pervert and hardworking to the devil. The concubines used to be on one side Distressed and proud.

After "True Colors" finished, Qin Yinong didn't take on new dramas anymore, three months, five months, half a year, fans can explain that she wants to take a break, one year, it doesn't matter if you take a longer break, but it will be almost two years soon, concubine How can we sit still?

In the 90s, there was also a talented actress who was known as a person who was guided by God. Aoxue dared to bully Shuang. She was a well-known national goddess. She satisfied many people at that time and even now. has become a symbol.After the other party reached the pinnacle of the film industry, he resolutely chose to take a break from filming, not caring about the false fame he gained, and devoted himself to other interests.

Qin Yinong's situation is so similar, she is not young, she has won all the awards she should have received, she seems to have nothing to pursue, just like the senior who suddenly retired, retreated bravely, and called a curtain call at the most beautiful time of life, Preserving the reputation and letting the light and shadow retain the most beautiful youth forever, in some people's eyes, is indeed the best result.

The news of Qin Yinong's possible retirement was only worried among fans, but some gossiping netizens gradually noticed it.

Catchy rumors were passed around, and the word "possible" was dropped.

[Qin Yi's Nongxiying Shadow] was listed as the number one hot search.

——Don't rest! (21871 likes)

——The first bolt from the blue in 2021, I burst into tears when I heard the news (18752 likes)

——At the age of 24, Cannes became the emperor, double winner of the three major international film festivals, and two rounds of grand slams in the mainland.I advise God to cheer up! (12546 likes)

Qin Yinong did not come out to respond to Xiying's rumors from the beginning to the end, and the rumors became more and more intense.

Lin Ruohan found this trending search on the Internet, frowned, and made a call to Qin Yinong's mobile phone, and said directly: "Are you going to take a break?"

Qin Yinong was puzzled: "No, what's wrong?"

Just as Lin Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Yinong changed the subject and said vaguely, "Hurry up."

If Tang Ruoyao can win the award for "Xiao Hong" this year.

Lin Ruohan waved his hand to reject the dessert that Ren Xingyue fed with a small fork, his voice was slightly cold: "Why?"

Qin Yinong wouldn't tell the real reason, but said: "I'm busy with other things."

Lin Ruohan felt stuffy, walked to the balcony to breathe, and said, "Too busy to take the show?"

Qin Yinong: "No."

Lin Ruohan said angrily, "Stop yelling at me, just say it!"

Qin Yinong was silent for a while, told half the truth, and said, "I want to stay at home with my wife."

Lin Ruohan scolded: "Unworthy stuff!"

Ren Xingyue was next to her, thinking she was scolding herself, she raised her head blankly, Lin Ruohan gestured her palm outward, Ren Xingyue walked away silently, Lin Ruohan closed the balcony door.

Qin Yinong let Lin Ruohan scold her head and face, she had made up her mind, and she just let Lin Ruohan vent her anger.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruohan calmed down after scolding her, and asked, "What if your wife is filming?"

Qin Yinong said: "Buying or renting a house near the studio is the same as in W City."

Lin Ruohan groaned, and said, "Then don't you feel itchy to watch her filming every day?"

Qin Yinong said: "It's okay."

Lin Ruohan sighed and said, "Don't you feel sorry for yourself?"

Just as Qin Yinong was about to answer, Lin Ruohan said: "That's what you've accumulated over the past ten years, so why don't you just let it go? There are more than ten years in your life, don't you miss the days of filming at all?"

Qin Yinong didn't say a word.

Even if you have been working in a boring job for more than ten years, you will still miss it once you leave, but what you miss is not the job, but the young self at the beginning.

Acting is not a boring job, Qin Yinong has gained a lot from it, and even apart from her sister, it was once a life-saving straw for her to continue in life, filming was once everything she had.

Once she gave up, she certainly felt a pity, but she also thought it was worth it.

There are two ends of the balance, some are light and some are heavy, all of them can't compare with Tang Ruoyao.She wanted to retreat behind the scenes and give Tang Ruoyao the best possible future.

Qin Yinong avoided answering, and said lightly: "People always have to make a choice."

Lin Ruohan said softly: "Then why do you always come to sacrifice? Or, do you always consciously put yourself in the position of sacrifice?"

Qin Yinong retorted: "I didn't, it's not a sacrifice."

Lin Ruohan spoke quickly, and immediately asked: "What is that? You have to give up what you have. She got it and you gave it up. Isn't this a sacrifice? What is it? You are in your 30s, and she is in the prime of life. She spoils you and spoils you, you enjoy your life, you are seven years older than her, you are not 27, and you are not her mother, what are you doing about selfless dedication?"

Qin Yinong: "..."

Are the first half and the second half the same thing?

Qin Yinong smiled and said, "I..."

Lin Ruohan interrupted her, and said: "I can't tell you the truth, and I won't tell you the truth. Anyway, I think you are a bit of a dedication spirit. Doting on your wife is the same as doting on your daughter. You are used to carrying everything by yourself. People have paved the way for two people. You ask her, is this what she wants? You two are already together, and you should not decide anything that involves her. "

Lin Ruohan said indifferently: "I don't know how you told her, but she agreed with you to take a break. Maybe you fooled her for a while, maybe you even fooled yourself. It's good to lie to yourself that you don't love movies that much. If you really don’t love movies that much and are willing to go another way, I bless you. If it’s for her, you have a better choice. Let me give you a piece of advice, time can’t be turned back, it’s given to you If you don't catch it well, it will be taken away."

Qin Yinong was shocked suddenly.

……

Long after Lin Ruohan hung up the phone, Qin Yinong kept holding the phone still.

After a long time, with a slightly condensed expression, she slowly put down the phone.

In the last announcement of the year, Qin Yinong was interviewed by reporters in the background.The reporter asked her the question about her recent filming retreat, and Qin Yinong was silent for a long time in front of the camera.

The reporter's heart skipped a beat.

Shouldn't it be true?

After a while, Qin Yinong said slowly, "I don't have any plans at the moment, it's just that I've been focusing more on my family recently, and my time is limited, so I don't take plays as often as before."

The reporter said: "Looking forward to the early arrival of Queen Qin's new works to meet us."

Qin Yinong said politely, "Thank you."

On the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Ruoyao took a nap, woke up in the middle, and found that the pillow was cold. She rubbed her eyes and got up, put on her coat and came out of the room, and finally found it in the home theater a few rooms away from the bedroom. she.

Qin Yinong was playing a personal clip of her own movie, and when she heard the sound, she pressed pause. Tang Ruoyao saw that the progress bar on the screen had been going for 10 minutes, almost shortly after she fell asleep, Qin Yinong came over .

Tang Ruoyao sat cross-legged on the tatami, and asked casually, "Why don't you sleep?"

Qin Yinong casually found an excuse and said, "I slept too much last night."

Tang Ruoyao didn't expose it, and said softly: "Keep watching, I'll accompany you."

Qin Yinong played it again.

From the age of 20 to 30, she devoted ten years to movies, excluding sporadic holidays.She spent all her birthdays in the crew, and the traces left by movies in her life are indelible.

She has made many movies, with protagonists and supporting roles, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, with thousands of faces. She can't remember how many movies she has made and how many people she has played, but every character appears on the screen When she was in the middle of the night, she found that her memory was so clear. She remembered the hard work she performed for them, the interesting things that happened, and the period of life she spent.

Tears welled up in Qin Yi's eyes.

She even discovered that she didn't love movies as much as she thought.

She is so free and easy now, and she stops her shadow when she says she wants to, because she has no fear.She has too many, so for the most important, it's okay to throw away one or two pieces, besides, she's not throwing away, it's just temporarily stored, and she can still take it out if she wants to.

——Time cannot be turned back. If you don’t catch what is given to you, it will be taken away.

If one day I lose this talent...

A self who can't act in movies...

Qin Yinong shivered.

Tang Ruoyao vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Qin Yinong a while ago.

She saw the rumors on the Internet, and she asked Qin Yinong. Qin Yinong's attitude was as casual as ever, and he was very busy with the company.Tang Ruoyao is helping her find scripts, and if there are suitable ones, she will tell Qin Yinong, Qin Yinong has read it, either because there is no schedule or the script is not good enough.She was demanding, and Tang Ruoyao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the weirdness was there. She said that she wasn't good enough, so Tang Ruoyao put the script in a drawer, and secretly took it out to read it again, with a weird look on her face.

Tang Ruoyao guessed that she didn't really want to make a movie, but was suppressing it so that she wouldn't think about making a movie.

Regarding the issue of Xiying, the two have discussed it several times.Tang Ruoyao is not a strong person, nor does she want to be strong. She respects Qin Yinong's personal wishes 100%.Qin Yinong seems to be gentle and considerate, and everything goes her way, making her climb to the top of Tai Sui to break ground, but she is actually a very stubborn person, with her own set of codes of conduct and weighing judgments.

More than 30 years of experience and experience have made her mature and rational, but maturity also has disadvantages, such as being stubborn, not willing to accept opinions like young people, being open-minded to change, and sometimes even being able to deceive herself.She didn't even realize what was wrong with her.

She is the older one, and she is stronger, so it is only natural for her to give up something to pave the way for the future of the two of them. Is there a problem?

Father, like son.

Lin Ruohan gave a blow to the head, and Qin Yinong realized that what she gave up was not what she thought was secondary or unimportant.

She can give up the company she runs, but she cannot give up her career as an actor.

Movies are second only to Tang Ruoyao's love.

Light and shadow flow on the screen, and the world is so close, each of the past selves has passed through the long river of time, and they will never look back.Off the screen, Qin Yinong unknowingly burst into tears.

Tang Ruoyao gently hugged the woman into her arms, listening to her sob silently, tears wet her shoulders.

after a long time.

Qin Yinong, who had regained his composure, sat in front of the screen, very confused.

She couldn't give up the movie, and Tang Ruoyao couldn't, so the two of them were destined to face the situation of getting together less and leaving more.She still has a company, and the current work intensity is not as strong as before, so it is difficult for her to take care of both.

Tang Ruoyao once said that two people will take on the film at different time slots, and one will accompany the other when filming, but it is easier said than done.When I was in W City, I couldn't stay there half the time.

What should I do, is the best choice for the two of them?

Her thoughts were confused, and she didn't realize that she had uttered the truth in front of Tang Ruoyao. Tang Ruoyao let out a long sigh, so heavy that it almost turned into substance.

Tang Ruoyao held Qin Yinong's face with both hands.

Qin Yinong's face is small, and being supported by her like this, his eyes are extraordinarily big, with dark eyeballs, but slightly dazed and helpless.

Tang Ruoyao was sympathetic and loving, so he couldn't say anything harsh, and said, "Look at me."

Qin Yinong looked at her.

Tang Ruoyao took a deep breath and asked, "Who am I?"

Qin Yinong replied: "My wife."

Tang Ruoyao said: "Remember what I said when I confessed my love to you and asked you to be my girlfriend?"

Qin Yinong blinked his eyelashes slowly.

Tang Ruoyao looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Whether it is good times or bad times, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad, I will always love you, cherish you, and be loyal to you. Depend on each other, live and die together.”

Qin Yinong's voice was slightly hoarse, "I remember."

Tang Ruoyao said: "Why do you always think about sacrificing something for our relationship? Isn't it a joy for the two of us to be together? Why is there such a strong sense of sadness in your mouth?"

"..." Qin Yinong said, "Didn't you also reduce a lot of work for me? Every day at home, your fans think you are going to take a break."

Tang Ruoyao asked plainly, "Then do you know what I do at home?"

Of course Qin Yinong knew: "Watch movies, read books, practice calligraphy, watch dramas, stage plays, musicals..." She counted and slowly frowned.

Tang Ruoyao said coolly, "Do you still think I'm a sacrifice? I'm living a much better life than before."

Qin Yinong: "..."

Tang Ruoyao sighed, and said: "We agreed to share happiness and sorrow, but you only give me happiness and worry alone. What kind of couple are you?"

Qin Yinong retorted instinctively: "I haven't."

Instead of arguing with her, Tang Ruoyao waved his hands and said, "If you say there is no, then there is."

Qin Yinong: "???"

Tang Ruoyao said: "I'm halfway through my nap, I'll sleep a little longer." She rolled up the blanket and pillow on the spot, and fell asleep on the tatami mat. There was heating in the room, so she wasn't afraid of catching cold.

Tang Ruoyao doesn't want to say more now, one is that Qin Yinong is a smart person, she doesn't need to say so clearly; the other is that Tang Ruoyao is angry with her and doesn't bother to talk to her, so let's calm down first.

Tang Ruoyao just fell asleep, breathing lightly.Qin Yinong sat upright, thinking about what Tang Ruoyao said with a solemn expression.

Is she really wrong?

Qin Yinong thought about it, and his eyes fell on Tang Ruoyao's sleeping face. She slowly stretched out a palm and pressed it against the young woman's cheek. Tang Ruoyao raised one hand and directly grabbed her. wrist.

After she checked exactly, she found that Tang Ruoyao was indeed awake, but she still held her hand for a long time.

Qin Yinong simply gave up thinking about it, and lay down on his side, facing Tang Ruoyao, and took his afternoon nap.

Qin Yinong roughly understood what was wrong with her, but two different thoughts were wrestling in her mind, and she didn't know how to straighten it out, let alone how to make a choice.

She told Tang Ruoyao everything Lin Ruohan said.

When Tang Ruoyao heard the part of "you are in your 30s, she is in the prime of life, you should let her pamper you and spoil you, so you can enjoy your life", she took it for granted, and said: "Teacher Lin is right. Makes sense."

Qin Yinong deliberately said, "How old am I?"

Tang Ruoyao did not hesitate to sell his teammates: "Mr. Lin is 35, and will be 36 soon. You are young."

Qin Yinong smiled with satisfaction.

Tang Ruoyao said again: "But her mentality is younger than yours." Regardless of whether she will be punished or not, Tang Ruoyao will say, she continued, "Mr. Lin's girlfriend is as old as me, and they are as old as me when they are together Like sisters."

Qin Yinong asked curiously, "What about the two of us?"

Tang Ruoyao gave her a look of "Do you have to tell me?"

Qin Yinong was silent for a moment, then said awkwardly, "It's not like mother and daughter all the time."

Tang Ruoyao sneered, and said unceremoniously: "Most of the time, they are like mother and daughter."

Qin Yinong could only say: "The way couples get along is different."

Tang Ruoyao pinched her face, stared and said, "Are you going to argue again?"

Qin Yinong shut up obediently.

On the road of love, Teacher Qin is not Teacher Qin, and Teacher Qin has become a classmate of Qin.

Tang Ruoyao said that she had fallen into a misunderstanding. The spirit of dedication in the past had not been overcome, and she had a strong sense of self-sacrifice. It seemed that the more precious the relationship, the more sacrifice it had to be accompanied to highlight its importance, but this was not the case.

Tang Ruoyao also said that she made a big mistake. She said good fortune and misfortune depended on each other, and they shared joys and sorrows. She drank all the wine together, but in the end she cheated herself and wanted to bear their future alone, so she had to punish her.

That night again and again and again and again, Tang Ruoyao refused to tell her the same, and hung her up in a different way, slowly, dawdling, Qin Yinong was so angry that he almost violently bit someone on the spot .

Qin Yinong's problem can't be solved once it's opened, she must realize that she doesn't have to sacrifice anything, as long as the two of them work together, both worlds can be fine.

Tang Ruoyao brought her a stack of new scripts, piled them on the desk, and said, "Choose."

Qin Yinong glanced at her, took a light breath, and looked down at the script intently.

She hadn't read the script carefully for a long time, and the printed paper smelled like ink. Qin Yinong stroked the outline of the script on the first page, raised her eyes, and met Tang Ruoyao's gaze.

Tang Ruoyao smiled at her.

Qin Yinong lowered his head and smiled in relief.

Tang Ruoyao was very happy to see that shining Qin Yinong again.

Qin Yinong is also very happy, because in Tang Ruoyao's eyes, she has found her shining self.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Yinong went to Ji's house to attend a family dinner.

She considered whether to take Tang Ruoyao there, but she dismissed the idea just now.Don't say that she and Tang Ruoyao didn't make it public, even if it was made public, Ji's house is not a place where you can come and go casually. She is an unappreciated side branch, and now she has enough limelight because of Ji Yunyao. Bringing a girlfriend, yes It's really hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse.

There are many descendants of the Ji family, and the family banquet covered a whole floor of the banquet hall, which was very grand.

Qin Yinong was well-dressed to attend, but because of her outstanding beauty and temperament, she still attracted the attention of many people as soon as she entered the door, and everyone present showed friendly smiles regardless of whether they were sincere or not.

A side branch with a good relationship with Qin Yinong came forward to meet her and dragged her to the table.

Even though Qin Yinong had Ji Yunyao as his backer, he was still the same as before, neither too close nor alienated.She felt a few scrutinizing gazes, the meaning of which was unknown, but gradually, she probably couldn't see anything, and they all retracted.

The banquet was about to start, and Qin Yinong always felt that something was missing. She looked around the venue, especially the head table of the Ji family's direct line, but there was no sign of Ji Yunyao.

She frowned imperceptibly, and asked the side branch next to her in a low voice: "Why don't you see Ji Yunyao?"

She is senior, so she usually calls Ji Yunyao by her first name.

The person who answered her was of the same generation as Ji Yunyao, and said: "I heard that Mr. Ji was punished." The voice was so low that only two people could hear it.

She simply switched to typing.

Qin Yinong took out his mobile phone from his bag, and saw the message that came in saying: [Mr. Xiao Ji's poor management has damaged two companies, and he was locked up by the owner]

Qin Yinong's eyes trembled.

She knew that Ji Yunyao had lost the two companies, but she exchanged the two companies for Li Yichuan's vitality.

The year before last, Ji Yunyao agreed to help Qin Yinong deal with Li Yichuan, and after that, Qin Yinong gave her the information he had collected, and Ji Yunyao took care of it by herself on the grounds that she didn't like other people's interference.She is a gambler, Li Yichuan never imagined that she would rather pay her own company as bait than pull him off the horse, after all, it seems that there is no hatred between the two of them.

A few days ago, Ji Yunyao sent her a message to announce the good news, and Qin Yinong planned to cook for her personally and invite her to have dinner at home.Ji Yunyao freely said that she would go again when she was free, but Qin Yinong thought she...

Did she make up her own mind without her father's consent?Why not tell yourself?

Qin Yinong then thought, with Ji Yunyao's character, it would be strange to tell her.

Qin Yinong had mixed feelings for a while.

***

Ji family.

On the ancestral hall are the tablets of the ancestors of the Ji family, lined up in a row, and the black tablets are even more eerie under the flickering candlelight.

A thin figure knelt straight in front of the futon.

For the family dinner tonight, everyone surnamed Ji in the old house went out except Ji Yunyao who was punished.

The old servant saw that there was no one around, and slipped in quietly with a tray. He was old and his hands and feet were not very agile, so he put the tray next to Ji Yunyao as quickly as possible, and said: "Miss, no one at home found out, You eat something quickly."

Ji Yunyao stared ahead with her eyes open, without moving her eyes: "Don't eat, take it away."

The old servant said anxiously: "These are cold dishes, they won't smell. You've been kneeling for a whole day."

Ji Yunyao's expression was indifferent, and she still said: "Don't eat."

The old servant picked up the water glass: "Then drink some water."

Ji Yunyao's lips were dry and cracked, she just said: "I'm being punished."

Old servant: "Miss!"

Ji Yunyao closed her eyes.

The old servant walked around her anxiously for a few times, then reluctantly left with the tray.

After kneeling for an unknown amount of time, Ji Yunyao heard a voice.

"The old Patriarch asked Miss to go to the study for questioning." The servant reported at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Ji Yunyao replied respectfully: "Yes."

She supported the ground with one hand, gritted her teeth and stood up. The joints seemed to be frozen, sore and painful, and the muscles in her calf were cramping. She stood still for a few seconds and followed the servant into the study as if nothing happened.

"Grandpa." Ji Yunyao knelt down again, eyes closed.

"Do you know it's wrong?" The voice of the person above was calm, not angry and pretentious.

"Granddaughter doesn't know what's wrong." Although Ji Yunyao was kneeling on the ground, her momentum was not weaker than the person above, and said, "The heir of the Ji family should protect all the descendants of the Ji family. Didn't you teach me the first day?"
