As Madam Wang spoke, she picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. "At my age, I don't ask for anything else. I just want my children and grandchildren to be by my side."
Madam Wang squeezed out her tears as she looked at Jiujiu. Her pitiful look made Jiujiu's head hurt instantly.
She wasn't a child. How could she not understand the meaning in Madam Wang's eyes? But because she understood, her head hurt even more.
She wasn't as close to Luo Cheng as Madam Wang imagined.
Even if what Madam Wang said was true, she didn't know how to contact Luo Cheng.
Because she didn't have Luo Cheng's phone number at all.
Before Jiujiu could bring up the awkward fact that she didn't have Luo Cheng's phone number, the warm-hearted Madam Wang stuffed all of Luo Cheng's contact information into Jiujiu's hands. It was so complete that even Luo Cheng's preferences were included.
Jiujiu was speechless.
However, she didn't expect Luo Cheng, this sharp-tongued and indifferent man, to actually like sweets.
Could it be that every man had the heart of a young girl?
But she knew in her heart that Madam Wang gave her these so that she could help her get closer to Luo Cheng.
Jiujiu helplessly took the things Madam Wang gave her and sent her off.
After Madam Wang left, Jiujiu started thinking about how to contact Luo Cheng.
But no matter how she thought about it, Jiujiu felt that it wasn't a good idea. In the end, she decided to call Luo Cheng directly.
When he received Jiujiu's call, Luo Cheng was in the middle of a meeting.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, Luo Cheng pressed the call without thinking and continued the meeting.
After he pressed the call, the number sensibly didn't continue to call. Instead, it sent a message. "Hello, Luo Cheng. I'm Jiujiu. If you see this message, please call me back."
It was already afternoon when the meeting ended. Looking at the message on the phone screen, Luo Cheng blinked and called back.
"You're looking for me?"
Luo Cheng asked straightforwardly.
Although Luo Cheng really cherished Jiujiu's talent and wanted her to enter the film and television industry, Jiujiu didn't want to, so he didn't force her. He said that if Jiujiu wanted to enter the film and television industry, just let him know and didn't continue to contact her.
Jiujiu suddenly contacted him. Could it be that she wanted to enter the film industry?
"Can we talk in person?"
No matter how she thought about it, Jiujiu felt that she had overstepped her boundaries by persuading Luo Cheng to reconcile with her parents. She wondered if she should meet up to talk about it.
After all, even if Luo Cheng was really angry and wanted to leave, he could quickly finish what he wanted to say before Luo Cheng left.
Luo Cheng raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was 5: 20 pm. There were still 40 minutes before he got off work.
"I have time in an hour. You can decide the time and place. Is that okay?"
"Xiao Yuan, is it convenient?"
Xiao Yuan was a private restaurant. Because it made good dishes and was very private, all the powerful people in the capital liked to eat there.
Luo Cheng nodded and asked Jiujiu to send the time and room number to his phone. Then he continued to work.
Jiujiu asked Bao Bun to book a private room for her at Xiao Yuan. After she finished her work, she drove to Xiao Yuan.
After arriving at Xiao Yuan, Jiujiu ordered a pot of green tea according to Ms. Wang's preferences and waited quietly.
After about ten minutes, the door was pushed open from the outside. Jiujiu looked up and saw Luo Cheng standing at the door.
Because he was working at the company, Luo Cheng's appearance was also serious.
His hair was firmly fixed with hair gel. His eyes were deep and firm. The thin lips under the high bridge of his nose made people want to rush up and kiss him.
After entering the private room, Luo Cheng casually put his dark blue suit on the back of the chair. He pulled off his tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing a small piece of wheat colored skin and sexy collarbone. He was wild and sexy.
Luo Cheng looked at Jiujiu up and down.
Today, Jiujiu had exquisite makeup on her face. Her red lipstick was like a burning flame that burned people.
Luo Cheng poured a cup of tea for himself. He looked at Jiujiu and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Jiujiu looked at Luo Cheng's expressionless face. She couldn't tell if he was happy or unhappy. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Luo Cheng, your mother looked for me yesterday."
"My mother?" Luo Cheng, who was drinking tea, almost spat it out.
Luo Cheng looked at Jiujiu in surprise. He thought he heard wrong and asked again, "You mean, my mother looked for you?"
Jiujiu nodded. "Yeah, your mother looked for me."
Luo Cheng put down the teacup in confusion. "Why did my mother look for you?"
Madam Wang said that her relationship with Luo Cheng was very serious. However, judging from Jiujiu's reaction, it didn't seem like their relationship was that serious.
Jiujiu considered her tone and said, "Well, your mother said that she realized that she and your father had made a mistake by not contacting you in order to stop you from acting. She said that she is old now and her health is deteriorating day by day. Her biggest wish now is to have her children by her side. So, she asked me to tell you that she and your father have realized that what they did back then was wrong. They hope that you can forgive them, reconcile with them, and reunite with your family."
After hearing Jiujiu's words, Luo Cheng's expression instantly became complicated.
Luo Cheng was silent for a moment. "My mother told you that?"
Jiujiu nodded. "Yeah, what do you think?"
Luo Cheng sighed helplessly. "My mother told you that my relationship with my father isn't very good?"
Jiujiu nodded. After a moment of silence, she quickly understood.
If Luo Cheng really didn't have a good relationship with his parents, he definitely wouldn't have looked so helpless after listening to her.
Seeing Jiujiu's enlightened expression, Luo Cheng kindly explained, "We made up when my first movie was released."
Jiujiu was silent for a moment. She looked at Luo Cheng quietly and asked in confusion, "Since you've already made up, why did your mother tell me that?"
"Probably because I'm too nice to you." Luo Cheng considered his tone and said to Jiujiu, "You are the only woman who has been friendly to me since I started acting."
Jiujiu was speechless.
Seeing that Jiujiu still didn't understand, Luo Cheng smiled and continued to explain, "My mother thought that I liked you and wanted to set us up."
Jiujiu was silent for a moment. She looked at Luo Cheng and asked, "Because of this?"
Luo Cheng nodded. "Yeah, because of this."
Thinking about Luo Cheng's attitude towards her, Jiujiu was silent for a moment. Then she looked sad. "How badly did you treat people in the past? Your mother actually thought that you liked me because of this."
Luo Cheng was silent for a moment. He recalled what he had done in the past.
However, he felt that it wasn't his fault.
In the beginning, he was really enthusiastic about acting.
At that time, he was just a newcomer. He had no popularity and no background. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be chosen by the director to play the male lead, he would probably still be fighting like those newbies who had just graduated for a small role.
