Jiujiu felt uncomfortable under Madam Wang's suspicious gaze. "We know each other."
Hearing Jiujiu say that she knew Luo Cheng, Madam Wang frowned. She didn't need to say anything, Jiujiu could feel her dissatisfaction.
"Just know each other?" Madam Wang didn't believe her. "Luo Cheng is stubborn. If they just knew each other, he wouldn't have helped you like that."
It was obvious that Jiujiu's words made Madam Wang very unhappy. Moreover, Madam Wang didn't believe Jiujiu's words.
Jiujiu was silent for a moment and asked, "Madam Wang, do you know Luo Cheng very well?"
If she didn't know him well, how could she say something like that?
Madam Wang felt that she had said something wrong and a trace of annoyance flashed across her eyes. After a moment, she looked up at Jiujiu and said, "I'm Luo Cheng's mother. You can call me Auntie Wang."
Jiujiu looked at Madam Wang, at a loss for words. She obediently greeted her, "Auntie Wang."
"Aye," Madam Wang responded and looked at Jiujiu. Her expression finally softened a little.
Madam Wang walked over to Jiujiu and sat beside Jiujiu. She grabbed Jiujiu's hand and sighed deeply. "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. I'm looking for you today because of Luo Cheng's matter."
Jiujiu pursed her lips. "Auntie, Luo Cheng and I really aren't as close as you think."
At most, she and Luo Cheng only knew each other and had spoken to each other before. Luo Cheng had helped her a little.
If Luo Cheng hadn't wanted her to act in a movie, the two of them wouldn't even have known each other. At most, they would have just met by chance.
Madam Wang squeezed Jiujiu's hand. "Luo Cheng is my son. I know him. If the two of you weren't very close friends, he wouldn't have taken the risk to speak up for you."
Jiujiu opened her mouth and wanted to tell Madam Wang that she really wasn't as close to Luo Cheng as she thought. However, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she inexplicably swallowed them.
Because, based on Luo Cheng's personality to outsiders, he was indeed someone who would at most raise his eyelids if someone fell into the water.
For someone who wasn't even willing to call someone when he saw them fall into the water, suddenly took the initiative to stand up for you. Just like what Madam Wang said, if they weren't very close, who would be willing to do that?
For some reason, Jiujiu wanted to thank Luo Cheng.
Seeing Jiu remain silent, Madam Wang knew that she was right.
Madam Wang continued, "Our Luo Cheng has been smart since he was young. When he was in school, he learned everything quickly. His father and I wanted him to be a scientist when he grew up and contribute to the development of our country. Who knew that not only was this child not interested in scientific research, but he was even obsessed with acting?"
Madam Wang sighed, "It's not that I'm looking down on actors, but the truth is that most of the actors in this industry aren't very good. Back then, when I spoke to his father a little harshly, Luo Cheng ran away from home. It's been 12 years since he left, and not only has he not returned once, he hasn't even called us once. His father and I only have one child, and now that we're both getting older, we're regretting not understanding him back then. It's just that both of us are a little prideful, so we can't bring ourselves to ask. So, we'd like you to help us talk to Luo Cheng, is that okay?"
Jiujiu was speechless.
Even if her imagination was running wild, Jiujiu would never have thought that there would be such a reason.
Jiujiu was silent for a moment before she said to Madam Wang, "Auntie, I don't think I can help you with this."
Although she knew from Madam Wang's words that her relationship with Luo Cheng was much better than she had imagined, this didn't mean that she was willing to help Madam Wang talk to Luo Cheng about this.
Madam Wang's request could be said to be a small matter of helping her put in a word, but it could be said to be a family scandal.
Even if Luo Cheng treated her as a friend, if her friend found out about her family scandal, no one would be able to get away with it.
Hence, Jiujiu rejected Madam Wang without hesitation.
It was obvious that Madam Wang had never thought that Jiujiu would reject her request.
Madam Wang's expression froze. "Why?"
"This is your family matter. It's not very convenient for me to be an outsider."
Madam Wang said, "You're Luo Cheng's good friend, so you're my friend. Friends don't have to be so formal."
The corners of Jiujiu's mouth twitched. Madam Wang was really a logical genius.
"Although that's the case, this matter is still a little out of line. Moreover, I think that whoever started the trouble should end it. There's no overnight grudge between family members. Auntie, if you really want to mend your relationship with Luo Cheng, you should take the initiative to contact Luo Cheng instead of asking me for help."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she didn't wait for Madam Wang to say anything else. She immediately used the excuse that she had something to do and quickly slipped away, leaving Madam Wang alone.
After Jiujiu left, Madam Wang sat for another ten minutes or so. She finished the tea in front of her in one gulp and left without hesitation.
Madam Wang was able to find Jiujiu because she had gotten someone to investigate Jiujiu.
Since she couldn't get anything from Jiujiu, she would start from the people around Jiujiu.
When Jiujiu returned home from work, she opened the door and saw Madam Wang sitting on the sofa in the living room. Jiujiu was shocked.
Jiujiu looked in shock at Madam Wang, who was smiling at her on the sofa. Her eyelids twitched and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and said, "Master, who is this?"
"Oh, this is Madam Wang. She said that she's your friend's mother. She had a small conflict with your friend and couldn't bring herself to do it. She wants you to help her put in a word with your friend."
After Zhang Dashuan finished speaking, he stroked his recently grown beard. "Jiu, if the matter isn't serious, you can help your Auntie Wang with this."
Jiujiu was speechless.
Jiujiu looked at Madam Wang. Madam Wang was smiling elegantly.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and looked at Madam Wang as she said, "Auntie Wang, can we talk in private?"
Madam Wang stood up elegantly and walked towards Jiujiu.
Jiujiu brought Madam Wang to her study.
After the study door was closed, Jiujiu looked at Madam Wang and sighed. "Auntie Wang, I really can't help you with this."
"How do you know that you can't help if you haven't tried? I think you're the one who doesn't want to help. " Madam Wang's gaze was as sharp as a sword that could see through people's hearts. "You've been able to accumulate this family business at such a young age. You're not someone who gives up easily."
"This is different from starting a business." Jiujiu looked at Madam Wang. "Auntie, how about this? I'll help you ask Luocheng out and you two can talk about it slowly."
Madam Wang sighed. "Now that things have come to this, I won't lie to you anymore. Before looking for you, I looked for Luocheng, but Luocheng's assistant said that Luocheng didn't want to see me.
I have no other choice. That's why I've come to you. I hope you can help this poor mother of mine. "
