Hold On, You’re Something Else

Chapter 72: Pt.72

Gu Xi was thinking about selling her house, how much balance is left after paying off the debt, and how much the movie's box office bonus can get.

If it was enough, he took out a check for 50 million yuan, and Gu Xi's brain theater was constantly performing, with a calm face.

Xie Ling glanced at the room number and then at the person at the elevator entrance.

Gu Xi, omega, (sexual xing) do not confirm that it is correct.

That's all right.

Xie Ling, who had been shrouded in the shadow of stinky boy aa for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Gu Xi was able to pull an alpha that already had a tendency toward aa back on the right path, which he had never expected.

Xie Ling was very pleased, but the eyes that looked at Gu Xi became colder and colder.

Gu Xi's heart lifted up, very nervous. Why is the look in Rongjing's eyes so terrible?

Does he think that I am (gou) the little fairy who attracts Rongjing?

Oh, I am.

Xie Ling directly left with his little brother who was constantly making noises, and passed by Gu Xi, who was in a storm in his brain.

Xie Ling stuffed the person into the car and ordered Zhou Xiang to drive. By the way, he lowered his hair and sent a message to Liu Yu, stating that the person had been found and expressed his apologies.

For my own private affairs, I worked hard and moved the crowd.

The assistant director and others have also seen this news. Xie Ling's kind of educated style is really unpleasant.

It is said that the rich is only three generations, but the Xie family is more than a dozen generations old.

If they are all heirs like Xie Ling, they really deserve to be on the rich list again.

The back row of the car.

"Happy last night?"

"It's accidental flight mode." The answer was not what was asked.

"What is your relationship with him?"

"friend."

"Friends who can stay overnight?"

Rong Jing just took a bottle of water from the small refrigerator next to him, and almost squirted it out before drinking a few mouthfuls: "Cough cough cough cough."

How should I answer this? If it is said that he still intends to do superficial (baobao) support with Gu Xi, it is actually a complicated (guanguan) system of a friend, will Xie Ling kill him?

However, Xie Ling didn't get too entangled in this issue. He patted his younger brother on the back disgustingly, and then revealed the purpose of coming today, to take Rongjing to the nursing home.

Rong Jing suddenly remembered what Xie Ling said before, there was a scene with grandpa, and Rong Jing's face was startled: "Brother, isn't it..."

Xie Ling didn't answer directly, rubbed his little brother's head, and looked at the black green in Rongjing's eyes: "He looks like he's been squeezed (gan), and I'm calling you at the break."

Rongjing: "..." was offended.

Saying that, Xie Ling took out a furry bear doll from the locker where he didn't know where, and stuffed it into Rongjing's arms, letting him use it as a cushion.

You must know that before this, Xie Ling's car had never seen anything related to softness and cuteness.

Rongjing buried his face in the soft baby, how old is my eldest brother?

Father Xie’s ward was not allowed to enter and exit at will, except for his family members and doctors. As the second young master Xie Jisheng, who had the blood of the Xie family, he was allowed to enter.

After a series of registrations, Xie Jisheng quietly came to the door of the ward and squeaked--opened the door.

In the monitoring room, the brothers who had been waiting for a long time saw Xie Jisheng enter the house, and Xie Ling stood up abruptly. Rong Jing glanced at Xie Ling's tight face and stared at the monitor together.

Although Xie Ling said, Xie Jisheng's chance was gone.

But this time, apart from getting evidence that Xie Jisheng committed the crime on the spot, it's not that the elder brother gave this last possibility (sexual xing).

Next to them are a few police officers. Since Mr. Xie himself is a valuable person and has participated in many major economic events, when Xie Ling made this request, there was an arrangement of relevant personnel.

Father Xie was already a ninety-year-old man. When Xie Ling became an adult, he passed Xie Zhanhong and directly appointed Xie Ling as the first executive officer of the Xie family.

Xie Ling hadn't graduated from high school at the time, and it was impossible for any big chaebol to make such a hasty decision. This is a very courageous old man. His decision has been opposed by everyone around him, but he has always stood behind Xie Ling, helping Xie Ling to solve many directors who saw Xie Ling's young plan to go dark.

The old man was also helpless, he was already old, Xie Zhanhong was not this material, Xie Jisheng was taken into the ditch by the Ji family a long time ago. Before the Xie family left, Xie Ling needed to stand up as quickly as possible.

He knows better than anyone how much Xie Ling shoulders at a young age.

The room was very quiet, as if only Xie Jisheng's footsteps were quiet.

The old man is lying on the sick (bed chuang), and the electrocardiogram monitor shows the fluctuation graph of the old man's various indexes.

There is still salt water hanging on the old man's hand.

Xie Jisheng was a little nervous, he went to the door and looked around before walking to the bedside again.

Xie Jisheng was a little excited, but also a little bit painful.

The interweaving of the two emotions made him tremble slightly, took out the needle tube that he had prepared with him, took out the tube, and held the infusion tube.

Some old people looked sickly at the Shen (Shui Shui): "Don't blame me, you forced me! In your eyes, there is only Xie Ling, and there is no grandson like me!"

Xie Jisheng was indeed forced to feel helpless. He who was once placed high hopes by the Ji family has become a criminal who has attempted to (kill sha) in the eyes of the Ji family. He can feel a pair of pushing hands behind the scenes, but he is looking for Not that person.

And the omega named Qi Ying he was looking for, he actually said that he is not as good as Rongjing's hair, and an unpowered omega dare to yell at him, and he will make him pay the price.

As long as the old man disappears, he can fake the imperial decree and completely drive Xie Ling down.

Xie Jisheng has been stunned, and has begun to reckless.

He knows that there is someone who can help him eliminate all hidden dangers and evidence.

He was about to punch in with the needle.

 , the door was knocked open!

A group of police broke in, Xie Jisheng was immediately controlled, and he was struggling frantically.

Xie Ling's face was full of coldness. The disappointment was for someone who still had feelings, but this person was not worth it.

Raising his hand, he slapped Xie Jisheng: "Bastard!"

After looking at the old man Xie who woke up long ago and quietly watched this scene, Xie Ling asked the police to take Xie Jisheng away, and don't disturb the old man's recuperation. This time Xie Jisheng would never come out of prison again.

Xie Ling asked Rong Jing to accompany the old man here for a while, and he went out to solve Xie Jisheng's matter.

Rong Jing was a bit cramped. When the original owner arrived at Xie's house, the old man's body was no longer good enough, and he lived in a simple way. This was the first time that he faced face to face like this.

The old man's eyes were grey, and the turbidity revealed the wisdom of the human heart.

Old man: "Xiao Ling is soft-hearted and has been unable to move his hands. He should have done it as early as twenty years ago."

Rongjing: "Are you talking about the kidnapping of Big Brother?"

The old man: "He even said this to you? It seems that he really trusts you."

"I am old, but my heart is not blind." The old man gasped, "Zhan Hong is unreliable, and Xie Jisheng hides the evil intentions. Xiao Ling's affection, but was bruised all over his body. He was forced to grow up by me, and Xiao Ling may hate it. I."

"Big brother won't." Xie Ling really cared about the old man.

"He won't."

But I am sorry for him.

Compared to grandpa, I am more like a pointer, urging him to grow up quickly.

"Xiao Ling has never been happy since he was a child, but during this time, he was very happy... when talking about you."

Rongjing's mood was a little shaken, and at this moment, the old man made Rongjing bend over and said a series of numbers in Rongjing's ear.

"This is my deposit password in the rs bank. There is a sum of funds not less than Xie's assets. Once Xie's has any crisis, it can be used to save it. This is the second password. The first password is in Xiaoling. In your hand, you can only open the password box if you use the two passwords together.” These years, I have been waiting for the person who will deliver the second password.

Rongjing looked at the old man in shock. The old man said not only the password, but also trust and a kind of trustless trust.

The old man laughed with a voice like a broken gong: "Don't you call me? The old man has been waiting for more than ten years."

Obviously he didn't say too much, but Rong Jing was feeling a little turbulent.

He finally knew why in the original book, Xie Jisheng would be easily annexed by the Wu clan after defeating the Xie clan, because he personally strangled (killed sha) the only life-saving straw.

It is impossible for the old man to leave his property to people who are not righteous, and would rather let them sink into the ground with him.

"grandfather."

"Ok…"

Brothers support and never forget each other.

Xiao Ling is finally not alone anymore.

Old man, I can only accompany you here.

Rongjing walked out, in the corridor, with a cool blue (color) tone.

Without Xie Jisheng's figure, he might have been taken away by law enforcement officers a long time ago.

Xie Ling sat on the bench, drawing a curve from his back.

Xie Ling covered her face, his heart was filled with boundless anger, and disappointment even worse than anger.

Until Rongjing stepped forward, he gently clasped the back of his head and pulled it onto himself.

Xie Ling's body became stiff and slowly softened again.

*

Rong Jing went to the family doctor first, cheeky and consulted the ointment needed after the incident. After the doctor's introduction, Rong Jing knew which one was the most comfortable, which one was the coolest, and which one had the best effect.

Then I ran to the drugstore, struggled a bit, and finally (gan gan) bought all of it, which was a whole bag.

After returning to the film and television city, with a bag of medicine, knocked on Gu Xi's door.

It was Mo Dian who opened the door, and Mo Dian was a little scared when he saw him. This was the alpha that Gu Xibeng set up for them.

No matter how you look at it, this is a terrible man.

The ink dot gave way, and then closed the door silently, leaving room for them.

Gu Xi's head was put under the quilt, breathing evenly.

The first eight hours were not enough for him, but unexpectedly, the stamina was too much. He took a full day off today, and (sleeping Shui) was very dim.

Rongjing put his big hand on his forehead, but fortunately, he didn't have a fever.

When he opened Gu Xi's quilt and was about to put the ointment on him, Gu Xi noticed something and opened his eyes with difficulty.

Suddenly seeing a pair of hands on his pants, I was shocked: "You..."

Rong Jing stammered when he saw his clear eyes: "I, I will give you medicine."

Gu Xi grabbed the ointment: "I'll do it myself!"

I haven't looked at that kind of place carefully. The room is lit up like this, so I can see everything clearly?

Gu Xi shook a bit, and it was enough to do it on her own. If you give it to me, I'm afraid I can't take it anymore.

Rongjing helped clean up the wound yesterday, so it took it for granted.

Seeing Gu Xi's flushed face, he became uncomfortable, and gave Gu Xi a bag of ointment next to it: "It's all inside, you see which one is suitable."

Rongjing stood up mechanically, said goodnight, and left quickly.

Gu hoped the door was closed tightly.

It took a long time to look at the bag of ointment, which was specifically for omega sex.

Each type has a sticker strip on it, and their respective uses are written. The handwriting is written by Rongjing.

He actually specializes in researching these?

"Ah~~~"

Wrapped in the quilt, Gu Xi screamed in the quilt and rolled around on the (bed chuang).

Wu Hanqi woke up from his dream and opened his eyes.

The sudden inversion of the mood made him momentarily confused. He got up, put on a woolen sweater with excellent texture, and calmly looked at the lightning and thunder in the distance.

He hasn't had a dream for a long time. From a very young age, his dreams have only had the same scene.

The boundless darkness, and the vortex that keeps falling.

Today, the heavy fog has disappeared little by little.

Boundless consciousness is instilled into the mind. At the beginning of the world, only a small part of consciousness is sent to a carrier, just like planting a seed that will not germinate in the carrier.

Only at the moment of its crisis, this carrier will be restarted.

Such a start also represents the end of a certain law in this world.

This carrier carrying his sporadic consciousness must meet the requirements of calmness, objectivity, (strong qiang), and other hard (sexual xing) requirements. Only in this way can it be able to turn the tide.

Just last night, the laws of the whole world were completely disrupted.

Once it has no energy, all the sons of destiny, together with it, will disappear.

And Wu Hanqi's special status, because of this special (sexual xing), he will not be read.

At this moment, a vast and dark space appeared in his mind. He seemed to be a master, looking at them mercilessly, a galaxy dividing the two sides.

Of the five humanoid cards on the right, two of them were completely darkened, meaning they could not be recovered. There was also a light bulb that looked like it was about to go out, flashing.

Only two humanoid cards are still standing unharmed, and they should not have been affected.

There are also several human-shaped cards on the left. The human-shaped card with golden light in the front cannot be moved. He has his own destiny, but his destiny has been tampered with.

Among the gray (color) human-shaped cards, the most eye-catching is a miscellaneous card that has disappeared and then suddenly appeared. This miscellaneous card is red (color), which represents a different kind of bug that must be cleared.

All the cards do not show their real names.

But Wu Hanqi could vaguely feel the law, that the cards are both human. The two closest to him, eight achievements are the people next to him, otherwise Tiandao would not choose himself.

Wu Hanqi looked at the red (color) human-shaped card indifferently, and saw a small knife appeared above. There were five options for hitting (sha), and only one of them was displayed: Magic

The reason is that this bug is abnormal and there is no processing authority. To unlock other options, you must pay a price.

The magical energy has 40% left. Once the opponent breaks the level, the lost energy will never come back.

A total of 60% was consumed in the first three times, which shows that after failure, it can accumulate energy for the next time, increasing gradually, and the last time is the most powerful (strong qiang).

It hasn't been removed three times. It's a waste.

The response to Wu Hanqi was waves of muffled thunder blasting above the villa.

In Wu Hanqi's boring eyes, a trace of interest finally appeared. After decades of boring life, something interesting finally appeared.

The phantom still has the last time, search for the most wanted thing in the soul of the other party, and give the real phantom. Key word: water.

Who can escape the most cherished things in people's hearts.

During this time, an anonymous staff account became popular in a small area.

One is very early, #Ahhhhh, people are on the crew, so excited they can hardly breathe, first (kiss wen), g actor's screen first (kiss wen)! Who can think of this, I think I can only see borrowing and borrowing and borrowing in this life! At the beginning, the director said that the actors were really on the look at this event. I still didn’t believe it. Just for this (kiss wen), I can go to the box office to do it again! #

At the beginning, there were only a few sentences, plus it was not a celebrity trumpet, no one cared about it.

However, following the occasional live pictures of this account, sharp-eyed people found some clues. Netizens with keen sense of smell have guessed that this staff member may be on the "Imperial Power" crew.

Except for the first scene at the beginning, the crew was open to some media and film critics to watch, and declined all media visits. Later, there was almost no sound, and it was extremely low-key.

If it weren't for the occasional official website exploding some photos, or the crew members fancy fancy food every day, I really thought that the entire crew had disappeared in the industry.

g actor, is it Gu Xi?

Only he best fits the situation of this revelation, Gu Xi has always refused emotional drama and affectionate drama.

As a result, some marketing accounts began to speculate, but eventually fell silent because no one responded.

Xifan even said categorically that it could never be their Gu Xi. If Gu Xi is willing to act in the (kisswen) scene, they can cover the whole scene!

When everyone thought that the account would no longer send messages, they suddenly sent an unknown message.

#Do you think the boy next to you is just a boy? No, he might be a big guy, respect the big guy! #

This sentence was a bit clouded, but not long after it came out that there was a "Mr. Unspeakable" in the "Imperial Power" crew. Don't ask, just don't say it.

Fans from all walks of life felt that they had been slid for a few laps in vain, and in the end they didn’t get any useful information:

"It can't be said that Mr. is not the big boss who broke the news, right now, anyone can be called the big boss?"

"Probably it's recently the popular second-generation rich set. This is the first one. Which is not a fake rich man? Can these set up teams use snacks to respect the IQ of netizens?"

"This is the first time I saw this kind of filming with peace of mind, and did not act as a demon and did not engage in scandals during the promotional period, but it was repeatedly sent to hot searches by the marketing account!"

"Don't believe it, don't spread rumors, just follow the official website!"

"Imperial power is really miserable, cue all day long."

"Sisters, hurry up and watch the pilot film of "Absolute Idol", I can't do it anymore, I am suffocated! The boss inside is almost broken, and I want to make a debut!"

At the beginning, everyone didn't know what "Absolute Idol" was, until they saw Amway in many places and started to wonder what it was, and then they realized that it was a domestic entertainment idol selection program that bought the copyright.

The program team will select 100 trainees to participate in the competition. In the end, 9 candidates will be selected to make their debut. They will form a new idol group. In the pilot film, the camera will pass one by one handsome abos, and I can’t help it. I wanted to be a sea king until they saw a certain judge. In the end, many netizens were given fans by the judge.

The judge looks very young. Why does he look? Because he can't see his face.

The footage the show team gave him was either the back or only half of his face, from the tip of the nose to the chin. In the words of netizens, the silhouette is beautiful and intoxicating.

Beside the camera, a line of words was added in the later stage very thoughtfully: Non-combatants, here should be coded.

Next, everyone discovered that this judge is not only very handsome, he is also very venomous, and from time to time he bursts out a golden sentence:

"...3 months and 1 month respectively, is there one more, are you guys here to be funny?"

"Oh, I aimed at loneliness."

"You mean you smoke and drink, but you are a good alpha, shouldn't I just eliminate you?"

"Be confident, and get rid of the ‘a little bit’, you’re pretty good at jumping."

...

"I can't control my screaming soul anymore, and I accidentally popped out a golden sentence. This is not the point. The point is that the sound is good and it feels so temperament!! Kneeling for the decoding, who is he!!! "

"If you know you can say more!"

"It's so handsome, even the poisonous tongue is super charming, and the voice is very special. Is there him in the feature film? I want the feature film!"

"Does anyone think that his voice is similar to xjr, but his is more charming, so naturally it is very magnetic (sexual xing)! Listening to it, I am pregnant."

"The xjr fans will be there in ten seconds."

"According to where he sits as a judge, he should be a high-level executive of Xietian Entertainment, so young, looking back from the back is so aura!"

"I just want the c judges to make their debut, you deserve it!"

Because the pilot film directly caused a lot of applause, Manager Gao of Xietian Entertainment asked Rongjing if he wanted to disclose his true identity.

Rongjing didn't expect everyone to say casually on the Internet in the previous life. This world has never appeared before. This is just ordinary chat, and it is not necessary.

There was a moment of silence: "I had been filming this incident, why didn't anyone tell me?"

Don't you get excited when you get angry, why can you still remember such details?

Moreover, this is not because you are afraid of having a lens and you are not playing well.

Who would have thought that you are more merciless than Mr. Xie, would you be afraid if you didn't see those players?

After Rongjing refused to make his debut in this way, the official Xietian Entertainment immediately issued a statement. Since the judges are internal members of the company, they did not intend to make a debut on the show. Thank you for your love. We will do this show with our heart. .

The more you don't show it, the more curious you are, and this mysterious Mr. Poison Tongue becomes more popular because of this.

Although Xiantian Entertainment is determined not to reveal (reveal) his identity, some media with channels have already heard the wind, because after hearing the wind, they dare not broadcast it at will.

This has caused Mr. Poison Tongue's name to become more and more loud, but there are only legends that people talk about, and no one dares to dig it up to now.

In Rong Jing's view, the popularity of the accidental fame has actually contributed to the attention of "Absolute Idol". Perhaps it can be more popular than in the original work. Rong Jing cares more about how the original line is broken.

Today's play is the second falling into the water.

After the deepening of the scenes, Rong Jing finally gradually cured the lens phobia rooted in the body. Of course, there is a big reason for Gu Xi. Gu Xi appeared in the early stage almost every scene. Let Rongjing enter the play in various ways.

The story tells that Fu Qianming, the **** played by Rongjing, discovered that what the enemy country paid tribute to may be an addictive poison.

Fu Qianming once found a rat after stealing food, biting the wooden box containing the tribute to blood like crazy, and eventually died of excessive blood loss. He didn't tell anyone about it, but concealed it secretly.

And this poison has been sent into the palace by the three princes and others. It is intended to be used by the emperor and other high-ranking people in the palace. At that time, the emperor will be able to use the du addiction to force the emperor to modify the biography of Zhaoshu.

Fu Qianming had already been by the emperor's side, and he planned to destroy them privately before paying tribute.

In order to prevent Shao Hua from being implicated, he intends to pretend to break with him and draw the eyes of the three princes to himself.

At this time, Fu Qianming had noticed that Shao Hua had some abnormal thoughts about him. In order to prevent Shao Hua from getting trapped, Fu Qianming concealed his true purpose.

After a series of hurtful words, Shao Hua angered the jade pendant that the two of them had carved personally when they were traveling.

On the surface, Fu Qianming didn't care, but after Shao Hua left, he came to the shore in the middle of the night, looking for the jade pendant that he didn't know where it was thrown.

But he never thought that Shao Hua just made a fake jade throw at the time. No matter how he was hurt by Fu Qianming, he was not willing to throw it away. What he threw was only the worthless beads on his body, so no matter how he found it, Fu Qianming was impossible. turn up.

Such a blunder, it seems to herald the ending of the play.

"In this scene, you mainly showed forbearance and pain. You care about Shao Hua in your heart, but you know that in this treacherous situation, you are not qualified to talk about love. Only this object is the bond between the two. You will do everything you can to find it. This is your only thought."

Rong Jing nodded, if there is Gu Xi who looked not far away, there is no Gu Xi's play today, Gu Xi just came to watch, he is wearing his own private clothes.

Due to the prevalence of autumn tigers, the weather today is not too cold. Gu Xi is actually wearing only short pants. When she sits down, she can see a short section of white thighs. Many eyes around him are staring at his slender white legs.

Gu Xi still didn't realize it, stretched out lazily, still holding a lollipop in his mouth, oh, he gave it, it tasted like plum.

Rong Jing took a look from time to time, and felt a little furry in his heart, and wanted to put a blanket on Gu Xi's legs.

But his thoughts were too selfish, and alpha's **** possessiveness was at work again. Gu Xi didn't wear any exposing clothes, only his legs (exposed), and he was really wide-minded.

Rong Jing never noticed that Gu Xi's expression was drooping, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

On the shore, at some point, an uninvited guest came, and Wu Fuyu's key parts finally healed under the attack of not stingy with money.

He was dressed in a luxury suit and his behavior was still arrogant. He came to the resting place and asked his assistants to share the (Milk Nai) tea, which meant that they worked hard to shoot night scenes in the middle of the night.

Xia Manni, who is the main female (sexual xing) role (color), also saw him and was puzzled: "Why is this person here again?"

When Gu Xi heard this, he saw the second generation ancestor surrounded by a group of people, and said nothing.

"I said, he won't come at you, will he?"

"It's not me." It's my man.

Wu Fuyu, with Erlang's legs upturned, watched the crew busy from a distance, and looked back and forth on Gu Xi and Rong Jing.

Seeing that Gu Xi's gaze came over, she said hello in a very good mood.

Gu Xi thinks of what she is doing, but if the other party has nothing to do, she is even more jealous. With Wu Fuyu's domineering (sexual xing) son, how could she not care at all.

Gu Xi didn't seem to see it, watching the script intently.

His (body shen) body has recovered, Rong Jing looks rough, but in fact he is very gentle.

Although the size is a bit inappropriate, he can adapt slowly, and he can get used to it many times, but when will he have the next time?

Since Rongjing talked about the contract that day, he has temporarily lost the news. Except when filming, he will leave the crew at other times. It seems to be going out to deal with the affairs of Xie's family and the company. After learning about Rongjing's other identity, The whole director team gave Rongjing the green light.

Although there is still contact every day, his lure plan is not successful, and he can't even reach people. How to lure him.

The contract was not obtained either, but there is still an alpha who is pressing people, these factors make Gu Xi feel as if she is walking a tightrope, and her future is uncertain.

The play begins here.

By the lotus pond, Fu Qianming once again came to the place where he quarreled with Shao Hua in the daytime. The galaxy and the moon (color) were reflected on the surface of the pond.

He first glanced at the empty surroundings, and looked at the location where Shao Hua threw the jade pendant with a complex expression.

Suddenly, with a leap, the flowing clothes flew in the air, and the fireflies drifted among the trees in the distance.

Once in the water, to no avail, he went ashore and took a deep breath.

His expression was sometimes hesitant and sometimes eager.

Go into the water again.

The second time, still to no avail.

The camera slowly zoomed in, showing his expressions one by one.

Until the third launch, this time the time passed every minute, but Rongjing showed no sign of coming up.

The director still remembers that Rong Jing said that his water resistance is very good, and there is no problem for two to three minutes.

Planning to continue shooting, Gu Xi suddenly stood up: "Stop, Director Liu!"

Gu Xi looked at his watch, and it has been 2 minutes and 03 seconds since Rongjing went into the water.

Even according to the plot, Rongjing shouldn't be up yet.

This is by no means that Rongjing wants to be more involved in the play, Rongjing is not the kind of person who temporarily changes the rhythm of acting.

Gu Xi glanced at the sky (color), the moon was bright, the wind was clear, and the nebula was dense. There was nothing wrong with it, but he felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

Gu Xi didn't have time to think, and amidst everyone's exclamation, he jumped out of the water.
