PFC Chapter 210 Who is your mother?
Chapter 210 Who is your mother?
"Are you...looking for me?"
Qin Xi couldn't bear it any longer and opened the door. She met eyes with Gu Chenxing, who had been wandering around her door for nearly half an hour. They looked at each other in surprise.
"How... did you know I was outside?"
Gu Chenxing was shocked. He was afraid of being discovered by Qin Xi, so he carefully controlled his footsteps, but he was still discovered? Was it because Qin Xi had extraordinary hearing, or were they actually... telepathically connected?
Qin Xi pointed upwards and said speechlessly.
"I have anti-spying cameras at home."
Gu Chenxing: “…”
Gu Chenxing screamed in his heart, what a mistake, he was so busy organizing his words that he even forgot to check the environment. Well, when Qin Xi suddenly opened the door, he forgot all the wording he had thought of before.
The two looked at each other, Gu Chenxing was silent, Qin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just when she had appeased the mad Tan Jing, a more difficult person came.
"You've been wandering around for half an hour. Aren't you tired? Come in."
Gu Chenxing breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. After such a big incident, Gu Chenxing, like Lili, first reacted to worry about Qin Xi's mental state. He was afraid that Qin Xi would suffer a major change and would never recover. He was also afraid that if he came here rashly, he would not be able to comfort her from her perspective, which would be counterproductive. But he was still worried, and he felt like he was living a year in a day, and was very anxious.
Today he finally made up his mind. No matter what, he had to see Qin Xi to feel at ease. Unexpectedly, Qin Xi looked... unexpectedly... normal.
Compared to the last time I came to her house, she looked like a ghost, but now she is much more energetic. Gu Chenxing couldn't help but frown. Qin Xi was so normal that she was a little abnormal.
"Come if you want to, what else do you want to bring? Sit down~"
"Oh... I brought you some food. I heard that carbohydrates and desserts can make people feel better..."
Gu Chenxing said cautiously while sizing up Qin Xi's expression.
Qin Xi raised an eyebrow, "You also brought wine?"
"Alcohol can also bring a sense of pleasure..."
At least, it should be stronger than carbohydrate desserts.
Qin Xi smiled playfully, "Why? Do you still want to force me to drink?"
Gu Chenxing immediately understood what Qin Xi meant, and in an instant, his entire neck and face turned red.
"How...how is it possible?"
Not to mention that he had the intention but not the courage, he didn't even dare to think about it, but it must be said that his actions did have the suspicion of impure motives.
Qin Xi looked at Chen Xing's bewildered eyes, scratched his ears and cheeks, and wanted to make eight hundred small movements in a minute, and also put away his bad taste in joking.
"I know you came to comfort me, thinking about how to make me relax and feel better. I just don't know how to express it. In fact, you don't have to say it, I understand your feelings. I am already very touched that you can come to see me at this time..."
Gu Chenxing's charming and shy feelings disappeared. He stared straight at Qin Xi, trying to discover her true emotions from her calm expression.
Qin Xi smiled and picked up the bottle of red wine that Gu Chenxing brought. Although she didn't know much about wine, it was obviously high-quality stuff at first glance.
"As for this wine, I won't drink it. The idea of getting drunk to relieve all worries is just deceiving yourself. Trying to numb yourself with alcohol will only trap yourself in a muddled world and won't solve any substantive problems. Moreover, excessive drinking also has the risk of inducing cardiovascular disease. I won't do something that is so harmful that it has no benefits..."
Gu Chenxing was silent...
After a long while, he managed to utter a few words with great difficulty.
"You...don't you think that you're a little scary in your calmness?"
Qin Xi burst out laughing.
"What? Is it normal for me to cry and tear my hair out and confess my sin?"
Gu Chenxing sighed helplessly.
"I'd rather you stay like this... Now... I'm really afraid that you'll keep everything to yourself and get sick."
Seeing Gu Chenxing looking dejected, he was even more depressed and anxious than Qin Xi himself.
Qin Xi's mind moved, his eyes turned, he sighed deeply, sat back on the sofa, picked up a book beside him and started reading.
"Now that things have come to this, what can I do if I get mad and collapse? When we are alive, we can't always cling to the past, we must always look forward..."
As he spoke, he hid behind a book and looked at Gu Chenxing quietly.
Gu Chenxing could actually hear a kind of calmness after being frustrated in Qin Xi's tone. Gu Chenxing hated himself for being helpless. When this happened, Gu Chenxing immediately searched all the connections he could think of, but the answers he got were all, without exception, too late!
Things have fermented to this point, and the country has launched an investigation. This is no longer something that capital and power can intervene in. Qin Xi's acting career will be completely blocked if nothing unexpected happens.
She is only 24 years old!
Looking at Qin Xi's face that was pretending to be nothing happened, Gu Chenxing couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
Huh? Is this... a professional book for learning English?
Even in this situation? She still has the mood to learn English?
Yes, she said, people should look forward, right?
Because Gu Chenxing's gaze was too strange, Qin Xi couldn't help but ask.
"what are you thinking?"
Gu Chenxing hesitated and struggled to say what was in his mind.
"You...are you planning to leave this sad place and settle abroad in a fit of rage?"
Qin Xi's face was filled with black lines.
what? !
"Why... do you have this idea?"
Gu Chenxing took a deep breath, "I understand you. Acting is so important to you! Acting is like your second life. How can you be willing to give it up like this?"
"so what?"
"So... you plan to learn English well and enter Hollywood?"
Qin Xi: “…”
Qin Xi tried hard to control the corners of her mouth that were curled up uncontrollably.
"You...really think highly of me!"
"Because when you're filming, your eyes glow. They look so lively and sparkling. I've only seen this kind of light in one person's eyes..."
Qin Xi became interested, "Who is it?"
Gu Chenxing's gaze drifted away, his expression seeming both happy and sad.
"My mother..."
Damn! Looking at Gu Chenxing like this, this must not be a beautiful memory! In order to comfort himself, is he going to dig up some secret past?
Qin Xi couldn't help feeling guilty. If she said it was unnecessary now, would it be too late?
But...curiosity kills the cat, she really wants to eat this big melon.
"Is your mother also an entertainer?"
Gu Chenxing sighed softly and said softly.
"My mother's name is Chen Qinglan..."
Chen Qinglan? Why does this name sound familiar?
Qin Xi suddenly had an idea: Chen Qinglan!
Isn’t she the one who won four Best Actress awards for just one movie? However, after that stunning movie, Chen Qinglan seemed to have disappeared from the public eye soon after.
With just one glimpse, she left a strong mark on Hong Kong's entertainment circle and was hailed as Hong Kong's brightest meteor - Chen Qinglan?
Gu Chenxing is actually Chen Qinglan’s son?
Oh my God, they kept it a secret without leaving any trace. It is indeed a shocking piece of news!
This time it was Qin Xi's turn to be cautious.
"Your mother...did she retire later?"
Gu Chenxing's voice was exceptionally low, and he narrated the past of the legendary Chen Qinglan with extraordinary calmness.
"Because of the movie [The Songbird], my father fell in love with my mother at first sight. He started to pursue her passionately. Under the siege of his powerful influence and charm, no matter how clear-headed and intelligent she was, she fell for him unknowingly. [The Songbird] seemed to have really become my mother's calamity. For him, she gave up her favorite acting career..."
"My mother did fight back after the marriage, but my father's status meant he wouldn't allow his woman to be in the spotlight. Just when my mother wanted to give up everything and pursue her career again, I came along. It was my father's selfishness and my arrival that ruined her career and her life..."
Qin Xi had a vague feeling of foreboding.
"Ever since I can remember, my mother has been accompanying me and taking care of me, but I always knew that she was not happy, and her relationship with my father was even more estranged. He was a life of luxury and had many women around him. The reason why my mother had always endured it was for me. Later, when I was 8 years old, I was kidnapped by my father's rival family..."
Qin Xi: I feel like my CPU is about to burn out...
"Luckily, I was rescued, but this was the last straw that broke the camel's back for my mother. She broke off relations with my father and resolutely took me to Guangcheng to live with my uncle. Over the years, her love for acting has never changed. Just when she was planning to start over, God didn't give her this opportunity..."
Qin Xi: Could it be?
"Years of physical and mental exhaustion finally blew up, and she... was diagnosed with breast cancer..."
Qin Xi: Wow, it’s true!
There was a barely perceptible choke in Gu Chenxing's words.
"My mother is the strongest woman in the world, but in the end, what she regretted most was that she was not brave enough when she was young, and gave up on herself due to various reasons! I think if she were given another chance to start over, she would never give up! She would definitely choose a completely different life."
Qin Xi: Why does this story seem more familiar to me?
"I know that you, like my mother, will never give up. If you want to develop abroad, I support you. I will do my best to help you!"
Qin Xi: “!!!”
An astonishing thought flashed through Qin Xi's mind. Could it be that Gu Chenxing liked her so much because of... Oedipus complex?
Mother lover? Chen Qinglan?
Hong Kong? Guangzhou? Uncle?
Chen Qingbai? Chen Qingdai?
Gu Chenxing? Star?
Star? Little star?!
In a flash, the thoughts in his mind connected into one line, and Qin Xi suddenly felt enlightened.
Qin Xi spoke with difficulty.
"Don't tell me, Chen Qingbai is your uncle? Chen Qingdai... is your aunt?"
