He Cheng's company is very willing to support him and has invested a lot of resources to have him play the second male lead in a play. Although he is called the second male lead, it is at least a starting point, which is much better than other newcomers who debut without a background.
Because He joined the production team, He Cheng's time was relatively less free. Even if he left the set, he had to inform his agent in advance and report his itinerary. He was naturally unrestrained and hated being controlled. By the second week of joining the team, he became impatient and his temper flared up. He was not as nice to his assistant as before and would often scold him. His assistant was a young girl who was quite cute. Even after being scolded by He Cheng, I didn't dare to say anything.
However, He Cheng later found that his assistant looked somewhat like Xin Gan, especially the expression of frowning and about to cry. Xin Gan had also cried in front of him that year. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that he suddenly fell in love with Xin Gan at that time.
After shooting a scene, the assistant, who had adjusted his mood, quickly brought him a chair to rest and asked him carefully, "Do you want some water?" Brother Cheng, would you still like something to eat?
"No need." He Cheng was playing with his mobile phone without even raising his head. "What's your name?"
She has been his assistant for half a month, but he still doesn't know her name. The assistant didn't dare to say anything and said, "My name is A Zhou, which means' zhou 'in day and night."
How old are you?
Nineteen years old.
"Not going to school?"
Well, I dropped out of school because I couldn't afford the tuition fees.
He Cheng smiled and said, "How pitiful!"
He said he felt sorry for her, but he didn't really feel sorry for her. Ah Zhou sensed something about it. He was not an easy person to please and had a bad temper. But she didn't dare to offend him. She needed this job, otherwise she wouldn't be able to survive.
He Cheng said, "Have you had a boyfriend yet?"
"No, no." She had no time to talk about a boyfriend, but when He Cheng asked her these questions, he always felt very strange.
He Cheng put away his phone and finally looked at her directly: "I'm sorry. I was in a bad mood before and was a bit harsh to you. Don't take it to heart. I'll change in the future. Let's work together well. Take care of my daily life. I told the company to give you a raise."
When Ah Zhou heard that she could get a raise, of course she didn't hold back the past. Besides, he had also apologized. She took it seriously and hurriedly forced a smile, saying, "Thank you, Brother Cheng. This is all what I should do."
Help me order a bouquet of flowers, send it to a place and write my name on it.
Ok. Are there any other requirements, such as what kind of flower species do you want?
What kind of flower? Whatever. What chrysanthemums? White chrysanthemums or something like that.
He Cheng sent her the address. Ah Zhou didn't think much of it and took advantage of the break when he was shooting to contact the flower shop.
...
After Xin Gan confessed to Cheng Jiu, he remained silent for a long time. She felt insecure all of a sudden, thinking that she had brought shame upon herself. He must have cared, otherwise he wouldn't have said nothing.
The more she thought like this, the more dejected she felt. But that was fine. If he cared, it would be a good opportunity to call off the engagement, thus fulfilling her wish.
After she finally broke off the engagement, she made it clear to her family and comforted them. Then she confessed to her family that she was going to emigrate. After that, things would be much easier to handle and there would be no difficulties.
Besides, she didn't particularly like him. It wasn't that she couldn't do without him, nor was it that she couldn't live without him.
So it wasn't that sad.
He remained silent. Xin Gan broke the silence and said, "If you have nothing else to say, then, then I'll pretend that what just happened never happened. If you find me disgusting or dislike me, you can break off the engagement."
"Cheng Jiu, don't worry. This is my problem. You can shift the blame onto me later. They won't blame you for anything. It's my responsibility."
She had already spoken to such an extent that what else could Cheng Jiu say? Afraid that he might feel psychological pressure, he deliberately took the blame on her. Cheng Jiu's eyes darkened as he stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and said, "Xin Gan, I haven't spoken yet, and you're already so worried that I won't want you?"
Xin Gan: "..." So what do you mean? And not saying a word.
It's not your fault. Don't take it all for yourself. I won't hate you, nor will I disgust you. Getting married is serious, and wanting you is also serious.
After she talked about what He Cheng had done, Cheng Jiu felt more guilty. If he had been more attentive and tried to understand and get to know her back then, this situation would most likely not have occurred.
But now it's no use saying anything.
Xin Gan didn't know how to react either. He just stood there stunned and said, "But..."
"Nothing but."
Xin Gan sat beside him, looking up into his eyes. "You won't regret it?"
"No."
She finally compromised: "Then give it a try."
...
He Cheng sent the flowers ordered by A Zhou to the ward. Cheng Jiu received them. Xin Gan had already gone home to rest. When Cheng Jiu opened his business card and saw that the signature was He Cheng, his face turned completely black.
It seems that He Cheng has been to the hospital before and is aware of his coma.
Previously, considering that He Cheng was He Chuan's younger brother, he didn't hold a grudge against He Cheng for kidnapping Xin Gan. Now, taking advantage of his coma, he's still harassing and provoking him. It's really shameless. No wonder he could secretly take pictures of Xin Gan.
Xin Gan returned home, took a bath carefully, and stood in front of the mirror for quite a while. Seeing the uncontrollable smile on her face, she felt very happy, as if she had confirmed their relationship with him. She was even happier than she had imagined.
Even during the meal, Mother Xin noticed something was wrong with her and cheerfully asked her what was wrong.
Xin Gan hurriedly said, "No."
"Say no, but be stubborn." Mother Xin made a few teasing remarks and the topic shifted to Cheng Jiu, "Is Cheng Jiu doing well in his recovery?"
"Not bad."
That's good. Your dad was still saying this morning that he would make an appointment in a few days for the two families to meet and chat about the two of you. Let's fix the date first so that we can make preparations in advance.
Xin Gan said, "Isn't it too hasty?"
"Take it easy." Mother Xin was about to speak but stopped, thinking that it was better not to talk to Xin Gan anymore, so she didn't continue.
I'm a little scared. Not long after she accepted Cheng Jiu, she got married and still felt it was too fast.
"Don't worry. Everyone has to go through this. Your cousin is doing well now. Just look at how much Song Chen loves her." Mother Xin also said, "At that time, I thought Cheng Jiu wouldn't wake up. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to survive, so I said those rather selfish words to you. Forget all those words. Mom didn't mean it."
Xin Gan understood and nodded.
Xin's father is not at home at the moment and hasn't returned yet. There are some words that Xin's mother said alone to Xin Gan and never to Xin's father.
Oh, by the way, aren't you not going to work at your brother-in-law's? "Don't rush to find a job for now. Cheng Jiu hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. You spend more time with him first."
The Xin family is not short of Xin Gan's salary either. The top priority now is her life matter.
...
The day for the two families to meet was coming soon. Cheng Hui's military training was over and he had tanned a lot. Cheng Jiu could also get up and work. He was in good physical condition and recovered quickly.
Both families came to the hospital and met there. Considering that Cheng Jiu couldn't be discharged yet, they both came to the hospital.
Both elders were present. Xin Gan was standing aside, serving tea and water. They couldn't have a conversation; it was all the elders who were talking.
Cheng Jiu couldn't get a word in at this moment, but his future father-in-law and mother-in-law were both there. He had to behave well and not neglect them, so he pricked up his ears to listen to what they were talking about.
Holding a wedding is rather troublesome. Cheng Jiu has never been married and has no experience. He really didn't know that there were so many things to do when holding a wedding. Although there are many things to do, the necessary ones still have to be done. This is also to give Xin Gan an account.
When someone hands over their raised daughter to you, you have to make them feel at ease no matter what. So, holding a wedding is definitely acceptable within his financial capacity. The main reason is that Mrs. Cheng wants to make it more grand, but Cheng Jiu doesn't quite agree. It's not appropriate to go all out.
Lady Cheng then said to Cheng Jiu, "Now you're not the only one getting married. You should also ask Xin Gan for his opinion."
So Mrs. Cheng asked her in front of everyone, "Xin Xin, why don't you share your opinion?"
Xin Gan remained relatively calm and said, "I think what Cheng Jiu said makes sense. A wedding is just a formality and doesn't need to be so grand. I'll listen to him."
This time, the blame was shifted back to Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu's lips curved slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Mrs. Cheng said, "This kid is afraid of trouble. Don't listen to him. Your mother-in-law will make the decision for you."
Mother Xin was also at a loss for words and tried to persuade Mrs. Cheng, "Sister Qing, since the children are paying attention, let's listen to them. We shouldn't offer any opinions. Neither of them will accept it, leaving us in a difficult situation both inside and out."
Both Xin's father and Cheng's father's opinions were rejected by his wife, so he stopped expressing his thoughts and obediently stood aside, whispering to each other.
...
Finally, Cheng Jiu's plan was settled. He would handle it himself and no one else should interfere.
There won't be any time now. He hasn't recovered from his illness yet and has to wait until the end of the year.
Or be transferred back to Yongcheng and complete the wedding.
Before this, the marriage certificate needs to be obtained.
Cheng Jiu gave her one last chance and said, "Once you get the marriage certificate, you can't go back on your word."
As for that immigrant, I can't think about it any more.
Xin Gan said, "Then what about you? Will you regret it?"
He was resolute, without the slightest hesitation: "No."
