Chapter 563
563 Let’s go
If Liu Ye’s performance in “the demon” was very good, then as his transformation work, it had attracted a lot of discussion.
In that case, Jiang SE’s performance in “a chance of survival” could be said to be on par with his.
Everyone who came to the premiere could see that Zhang Jingan favored her. A few shots were focused on her. Her character was far more well-developed than the character ‘Cheng Jianguo’.
Originally, the main focus of the film was on Cheng Jianguo’s ‘repentance’, but in the end, it helped the character Tang Jing.
Apart from the fact that Zhang Jingan’s love and regard for Jiang se had already been shown in the film, Jiang SE’s ability to control her character was also the reason why she and Liu Ye had their own merits in the current film.
When the movie ended, many people were deeply touched. Naturally, the rumor that Jiang se had stolen Tao cen’s role in “a chance of survival” was dispelled on its own.
No matter how one looked at it, those who had watched “a chance of survival” felt the same way as shupeien, who had watched it first at the French Film Festival. Other than Jiang se, no one else could replicate Tang Jing’s character in Zhang Jingan’s script to such a high degree.
After the broadcast ended, there was an interview segment that followed. Jiang se was the star of the night.
PEI Yi watched as she was surrounded by cameras from below the stage. She was different from his impression of her young and inexperienced appearance, but she was still outstanding.
After the event, PEI Yi said that he had something to do and had to leave first.
Jiang se recalled what mo Anqi had told her about Xiao Liu. After removing her makeup and changing her clothes, she went down to the garage and waited.
It was around 11 p.m. When she was done with her activities. The garage was quiet as PEI Yi was not by her side. She had also sent mo Anqi and the others away.
‘A chance of survival’ would be screened tonight, so many people who had managed to get tickets for the midnight premiere had already gone upstairs and were waiting in the hall.
The garage was unusually quiet. The occasional security guard patrolling the garage could be heard from afar.
Jiang se remained in the same position and sat in the car for a long time. She kept thinking about the reason why her grandfather had asked her to stay at this time and for her to send him home alone.
He refused to accompany her to the premiere, but booked a theater alone to watch ” a chance of survival “. Ah Yi said that sometimes, Feng Zhongliang also needed some time alone.
She waited for a long time and thought for a long time. When Feng Zhongliang came down, it was already past midnight.
At this time, many of her fans in the capital were in the cinema, watching her performance and sharing her happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy in the movie.
“Grandpa, Zhenzhen”
Feng Zhongliang alighted with his walking stick. As soon as he got into the car, Jiang se could smell the cigarette smell on him. Just as she was about to say something, he turned around.
“Let’s take the Northwest Gate Bridge.”
The road he was talking about was not the fastest shortcut from the cinema to the Feng family’s house. Instead, it was a Riverside Road that almost surrounded the imperial capital along the Hucheng River.
It was built in the early days of Qing Kingdom and repaired by the country after the Revolutionary War, so it was quite quiet.
Jiang se nodded. Feng Zhongliang was a very restrained person. He never smoked and rarely drank.
He reeked of cigarettes tonight. She wondered if he had broken his precept for some reason.
She wanted to ask, but Feng Zhongliang obviously didn’t want to say.
Jiang se started the car and drove out of the IMAX theater building.
The more the car drove to Binjiang road, the fewer people there were.
There were many people here in the summer. Couples on dates and night joggers could all become the embellishments of this Binjiang road.
However, it was late spring and early summer. The night in the capital was as cold as water, and it was almost one in the morning. There were very few people.
It was extremely quiet in the car. Jiang se focused on driving. She knew that her grandfather was not asleep. He was just silent.
“Park the car at the corner in front.”
He stretched out his hand and pointed to a sign for a temporary parking on Binjiang road. get out of the car and walk with me.
Jiang se nodded. Following Feng Zhongliang’s instructions, she parked the car in the temporary parking lot. She opened the car door and got out of the car. A gust of wind lifted her long hair and covered her delicate face.
She ran her fingers through her hair, went to the other side of the car, opened the door, and helped Feng Zhongliang out.
On such a night, Feng Zhongliang should not be so willful after watching the movie. Instead, he should go home, take a shower, and sleep to rest up.
“Look over there, Yingluo.”
Feng Zhongliang held onto his walking stick with one hand while Jiang se supported him with the other.
The other side of the moat was the other side of the lower half of the imperial capital. The lights on both sides of the river looked at each other across the river.
“I remember that when I brought you here, the facilities on the other side were still under repair.” Now, it had become a skyscraper and was extremely prosperous.
“It’s been more than twenty years.” Feng Zhongliang sighed, ” what a huge change.
Jiang se smiled as she listened to his sigh. She helped him walk forward.
“Grandpa, why are you suddenly sighing about this?”
Feng Zhongliang did not say anything. For a moment, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing across the willow trees on the riverbank and their unhurried footsteps could be heard. There was also the crisp sound of Feng Zhongliang’s walking stick hitting the ground. After walking for a while, Feng Zhongliang seemed to be a little tired. When he saw the bench by the riverbank, he patted Jiang SE’s hand and gestured for her to help him sit down.
The water on the river was illuminated by the neon lights on both sides of the river, which made it more peaceful and gentle than it was during the day.
The ships that were anchored by the shore were lit up by sparks of fire. Jiang se felt that in such an environment, her impetuous heart had calmed down.
“Tonight, I went to watch ‘a chance of survival’.”
Feng Zhongliang put his walking stick aside and suddenly spoke.
Jiang se turned to look at him. He had his head lowered and his back was straight. This was a habit he had developed over the years in the Army. Even though he was getting old, he still maintained it.
“Yes, I know.” She nodded. uncle Liu did.
“I’ve watched the movie twice.” He stretched out his hand and gestured the number ‘2’. His tone slowly became serious.
“The more I look, the more I remember what happened back then.”
As he spoke, the smile on Jiang SE’s face gradually froze.
“Grandpa, Zhenzhen”
“I remember that I just came home from a business meeting.”
“Grandpa.” She seemed to have guessed what Feng Zhongliang was going to say. Her lips trembled, but Feng Zhongliang had no intention of stopping.
your uncle Liu was worried at the time, so he went to the kitchen and asked them to make me some sweet soup.
“Grandpa!” She was a little anxious. Her hands were clenched into fists and placed on her legs tightly, as if she was trying to stand up.
Feng Zhongliang ignored her, ”
“The servant who brought the tea told me that she received a package.” It was only then that he realized that Feng Nan had gone missing.
At this point, Feng Zhongliang finally raised his head, ”
I took action immediately after I found out that you were missing. However, I know that it was still too late.
It was because of the Feng family’s negligence that she had been hurt by the bandits and had been in their hands for a long time, suffering from mental torture.
“For many years, your uncle Liu, your parents, and your uncles all thought that I should hate Jiang Zhiyuan and his gang for hurting you. In the dead of the night, I also want to comfort myself like this, but sometimes I think back to that time when I found you in that wooden cabin in the forest. Were you most afraid of those vicious Desperados or were you afraid of something else?”
Feng Zhongliang’s gaze fell on her face. She lowered her head in a panic, as if she did not want him to find out the true feelings in the depths of her heart.
there are some things that I’ve never dared to say. Even I find it ridiculous when I think about it. He muttered to himself, ”
you’re clearly my closest grandparent and grandchild. You were brought up by me. You’ve been by my side for more than ten years and even ate at the same table as me. But you’ve become more and more distant.
If it was not for the opportunity to be reborn, which changed the way the grandfather and grandson got along, Feng Zhongliang might have left with regrets for the rest of his life.
“Grandpa is old. There are some things that I don’t say. I may not have the chance to say them in the future.”
At this moment, Feng Zhongliang was not as cold and serious as usual. His eyes were gentle.
ah Nan, Grandpa was wrong. Grandpa was too self-centered back then. He put all his heart into work and neglected the people around him.
He reached out to hold Jiang SE’s hand and called out to Feng Nan the way he had called her when they were young.
“That’s why we didn’t find out in time that ah Nan was missing, and let you fall into the hands of the kidnappers. You’ve suffered enough.”
Jiang SE’s hands grew colder with each word he said. Her entire body started to tremble.
I’m not a good grandfather. Perhaps I haven’t learned how to be a good head of the family since your father and uncles were born.
It was only when the problem occurred that he suddenly regretted it.
but in grandpa’s heart, Grandpa has never given up on my ah Nan. It’s just that he’s too careless sometimes. Some people are not born to be qualified parents and elders. He paused for a moment. As he looked at Jiang se, his eyes were quickly covered with a layer of moisture. He pursed his lips and frowned slightly. He looked like he was about to cry but was forcing himself to hold it in.
a child’s growth needs to be taught. Grandfather has lived for so many years, but he also needs to explore. It’s only in these few years that he’s understood what a ‘grandfather’ should do.
I’ve never given up on my granddaughter. If I Could Turn Back Time, I could’ve let go of Zhongnan industries earlier and spend every day with my granddaughter. I could’ve discovered her disappearance earlier, and I could’ve been by her side when she was in a state of panic. I could’ve held her hand and walked out of that wooden house.
He held Jiang SE’s hand. Her hand was delicate and smooth. Her fingertips were like scallions and were as fair as Jade. However, what he ‘saw’ was her tightly clenched fist after he had saved her.
She was still trembling, and her tears were flowing silently.
“In grandpa’s heart, you’re not just a granddaughter of the Feng family, not a socialite ornament, not a bargaining chip to add to the glory of Zhongnan industry. Whether you’re obedient, sensible, obedient, or not, you’re my granddaughter.”
He tightened his grip on Jiang SE’s hand.
now that you’ve grown up, grandfather knows that you’re no longer the ah Nan of the past. You have ah Yi by your side. At this point, he coughed twice. grandfather can’t correct the mistakes of the past, but grandfather can. I’m here. As long as my granddaughter needs me, grandfather will always be there for her.
Jiang se tried her best to take in deep breaths, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.
She was no longer a child, and she had long known that tears had no effect.
But at this moment, no matter how hard she tried to hold it back, her tears were rushing out. She saw that the thin and weak old man, who was so stubborn in the eyes of the Feng family that he had a strange temper and was unreasonable, was now straightening his back and saying loudly, ”
“As long as grandpa’s little ah Nan doesn’t have to be afraid.”
He was already so old. His hair was white, and he had caught a cold not long ago. He was still coughing just now and needed someone to help him walk. However, Feng Zhongliang was now extremely powerful in Jiang SE’s heart.
His words were said many years later, but strangely, they filled in the missing part of her heart all these years.
“The elders are also slowly learning how to become good elders.” This was the first time he had seen his well-behaved granddaughter cry uncontrollably. She bit her lips and tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn’t help but sob.
She bit the back of her hand, holding it in until her face turned red.
After she was rescued from the kidnapping, Feng qinlun, his wife, and the Feng family were the most exaggerated. They cried and screamed loudly, as if they were even more miserable than Feng Nan, who had been frightened at that time. However, she was quiet and obedient.
The tears that she had held back for many years were finally released at this time.
“Can you forgive Grandpa?”
Feng Zhongliang also felt that his eyes were sore. Seeing that she was crying uncontrollably, he raised his hand and touched her head.
She nodded her head vigorously and cried until she hiccuped.
On the road by the river, the grandfather and grandson finally moved away the barriers in their hearts after so many years.
Jiang se had never felt so relaxed before. Feng Zhongliang’s words were very important to her. She was not that unimportant in the Feng family after all. Even if she disappeared, there would still be people who remembered her.
The two of them walked along the riverbank and chatted for a long time.
She also tried to open her heart and talk to her grandfather about the things she didn’t know how to say in the past.
“Actually, when I was young, I envied my classmates. When they were sick, their parents would take leave from school.” Her parents had always been strict with her, hoping that she could work hard and become an outstanding lady in the Feng family’s first household. They hoped that she could persist with minor illnesses.
I remember when I was in elementary school, there was a girl in my class who had a beautiful bun on her head. She said that her mother had especially woken up early to comb her hair because she played the piano very well the day before. She even praised her for a long time and rewarded her with snacks.
She wrinkled her nose, ”
“But I’m better than her.”
However, no matter how well she performed, in her mother’s eyes, she felt that she could do better, not to mention the rewards. It was impossible for mother Feng to spare time for social activities to coax her.
She mentioned that one day, ou miaosheng’s painting was being exhibited in Hong Kong. She wanted to attend it, but her mother asked her to attend a social party a few days later. She was given a list of names to memorize, which caused her to miss the exhibition.
“Ou Miao Sheng’s work is rarely displayed on such a large scale.” In the end, she looked at the works that others had participated in many times and felt regretful for a long time.
“Actually, I didn’t want to eat with Zhao junhan, because I wasn’t close to him at all back then.”
However, because Zhongnan industry had a partnership with the Jianghua group, she had agreed to her parents ‘request.
She talked a lot, and Feng Zhongliang nodded, ”
“You’re the best, much better than the other little girls! If you can’t see ou Miao Sheng’s art exhibition, Grandpa will buy you a few more paintings later and hang them at home. You can treat it as an art exhibition every day!”
“I don’t want to eat with that shifty-eyed boy from the Zhao family. He’s more scheming, unlike ah Yi, who’s calm and collected.”
As if he was coaxing a child, he finally managed to make Jiang se laugh.
“Of course I won’t eat with him in the future, Yingying!”
In the future, it would be another person who would be under the control of Feng Nan’s parents, take over Feng Nan’s body and identity, and have a meal with Zhao junhan.
