once i loved you

Chapter 32

After the festival, the photos of Gu Weiye beating someone in a bar were published by several big media, and the scandal was rampant for a while.Some celebrities and celebrities expressed their condemnation of the beating behavior openly and implicitly through various channels, but Gu Weiye, who has always presented a cool and low-key image, was not pulled down from the "shrine".

According to the bar owner's later confirmation, Gu Weiye fought because the guest harassed another female guest, and out of arguing for the latter's grievances.

After learning the truth, a large number of netizens chose to support or ignore it.However, there is still a small group of netizens who hold a middle point of view. Although Gu Weiye is wrong, it is not a big mistake. As long as he comes out to apologize to the public and admit that he has acted too aggressively, the matter can be over.

However, in the face of the calls from the outside world, Gu Weiye not only failed to respond positively according to their expectations, but also chose to remain silent.

Several good news media made a big fuss about it.They believe that Gu Weiye's refusal to admit his mistakes set a wrong example for young people.Therefore, it would be wrong to say that the incident had no impact on Gu Weiye at all.

Cen Xiao watched the entertainment news every day, and was very worried—it was okay to act out of anger, but if the media found out that things were not that simple at all, then he would not be optimistic.

In the few photos that were taken, it may be because the people who took the photos were more aimed at Gu Weiye, so Gu Weiye's face was very clear, but Ye Chengjin's face was very blurry.

If so, after thinking about it for a few days, Cen Xiao still bit the bullet and called Ye Chengjin just in case.

He also knew that it was impossible for Cen Xiao to call because he was concerned about his arm, Ye Chengjin knew that it was because of Gu Weiye as soon as Ye Chengjin received the call.

"No matter what emotions I have for that person, I still cherish my feathers at least. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense to any media."

"Thank you." She let go of her hanging heart.

"Don't hang up the phone in a hurry." Ye Chengjin said again.

"Is there anything else?" Cen Xiao thought he was going to start talking about those unhappy topics again.

Ye Chengjin smiled wryly on the phone.After what happened that day, he reflected deeply.In any case, he was wrong first, whether he still has feelings for her has nothing to do with Cen Xiao.Whoever Cen Xiao fell in love with, he has long since had no right to question and interfere.

In the future, he will not pester her again.

"I want to tell you that two days ago, that is, before this news appeared in the newspaper, someone really came to me."

Since he came back from Hengdian, he hasn't answered her calls.

Cen Xiao knew that Gu Weiye would not give up their relationship just because of this matter.Intentionally giving him time to think calmly, she refrained from calling, and only sent a few caring text messages every day.

But when Cen Xiao put down Ye Chengjin's phone, hoping that someone would contact Ye Chengjin intentionally, hoping that he would come forward and tell the media the truth about Gu Weiye's beating, she realized that Gu Weiye's personal phone was turned off.

She was about to call Ben, but Mu Ziyue walked into the classroom at this moment and asked the three of them to go to his office together.

The photography studio is only a small business of the Hongbai Group, and there are many other jobs. In fact, Mu Ziyue seldom appears in the studio.

This time he came here in person, and the purpose of calling the three of them to a meeting was not difficult to guess.Calculating the time, they have also been here for three months, and it is already time for the first assessment.

Mu Ziyue likes orchids, even if he doesn't visit them often, he still has a few pots of orchids in his office here.

The office was filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants. Mu Ziyue looked in a good mood. Seeing the three young men sitting on the black leather sofa, he opened his lips and said in an easy-going tone: "The assessment is done this time. The topic has been drawn up, and you will draw lots to decide. According to the practice of the studio, the results of this assessment will be ranked, and the person who gets the last place will be disqualified from staying in the studio."

Song Qian was born in a middle-class Chinese family in the United States, and his family conditions are not bad, but the opportunity to train in Hongbai is a rare opportunity for him, so he pays no less attention to the assessment than Cen Xiao.

Only Chen Xize, if you say he is also very passionate about photography.It's just that compared to the other two, he always owes a little.Chen Xize is a person who attaches great importance to winning and losing. He himself thinks that it is okay to leave because he is bored, but he absolutely cannot accept leaving because of being compared.

"If you understand what I mean, then come and draw lots. Which one will come first?" Mu Ziyue looked at the three of them with a smile.

"Lady first!"

"Lady first."

Song Qian and Chen Xize said in unison, they looked at each other knowingly, and their eyes fell on the silent Cen Xiao at the same time.

Cen Xiao looked in a daze, she looked around blankly, and finally Song Qian patted her on the shoulder, giggling, "Cen Xiao, we gave you the chance to draw first! Don't you If I go, I will go."

In fact, Cen Xiao is not completely lost in the world, but her mind is divided into two, thinking about Gu Weiye while listening to Mu Ziyue's speech, it is inevitable that she will be a little bit late.Hearing Song Qian's ridicule, she smiled at him, and walked forward without rejecting her kindness.

What Mu Ziyue held in his hand were three sheets of hard cardboard that was a quarter of the size of A4 paper, with the back facing up, and three meticulous paintings with the theme of fairy tales were printed in sequence, namely, Kuafu Chasing the Sun, Public Anger, etc. Hit Buzhou Mountain, and Nu Wa made man.

Cen Xiao didn't know whether the picture on the back was related to the content of the lottery, she chose Kuafu Chasing the Sun based on her first instinct, then Song Qian who came up later chose the public one, and Chen Xize finally got a female snail.

"Okay." Mu Ziyue's eyes lingered over the pictures of the cards in the hands of the three in turn, and said with a faint smile: "Before you reveal the answer, let me briefly explain the rules of the game. This assessment will last for one month. , you need to take at least one photo according to the theme you have drawn, and there is no limit if there are more. During this month, you can apply for the fee specified by the studio."

After speaking, he pushed his hand and made a "please" movement, and then saw three people flipping the card over, and seeing the words on it, they had colorful expressions.

"Shit!" Chen Xize couldn't help cursing in a low voice, hit his head with his fist, and complained angrily, "Old Mu, are you sure you're not kidding us?"

In terms of age, Mu Ziyue is much older than Gu Weiye and Chen Xize. He almost watched them grow up. Gu Weiye has always been mature, but Chen Xize is always deviant.He has long been used to it, so he doesn't mind the kid's offense.

He raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Cesis, are you afraid of losing?"

Chen Xize took a sharp breath, pointed to his nose, smiled, and slapped the piece of paper on the table with disdain, "Old Mu! Are you kidding me? I, Chen Xize, would be afraid of losing!"

"Then is there any problem with Cen Xiao and Song Qian?" Mu Ziyue looked at the other two, his deep eyes lingering on Cen Xiao for a long time.

The shooting theme given by Mu Ziyue is confusing. Behind the three cards, there is one word written on each.On the back of the cards that Cen Xiao, Song Qian, and Chen Xize drew were written in order: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The topic seems simple, but the scope is too large, but it is difficult to grasp.From the point of view of Cen Xiao's women, the "people" Chen Xize draws are the best.Although the "land" that Song Qian has drawn involves many things, it won't be too difficult as long as the materials are selected carefully.

Only the "sky" she drew, shot the sky?shoot clouds?Shoot for the stars?Even if she is highly skilled and can take good photos, but such photos are good-looking, but it is still difficult to give deep meaning when participating in the competition.

Why did she feel that she was doomed before the assessment started?

Ugh.

After the assessment theme was settled, Chen Xize and Song Qian didn't bother to stay in the studio any longer. They didn't know whether to go back to prepare or busy with other things.

Cen Xiao didn't have a clue about the assessment.She was still thinking about Gu Weiye, but she didn't leave.Sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, he dialed Ben's phone.

"Hello, Miss Cen?" Ben's voice was not unexpected, but Cen Xiao felt relieved when he heard it.

She told him that she couldn't get through to Gu Weiye's phone, and Ben said it was because Gu Weiye's cell phone was temporarily in his hands, and he turned it off to respect privacy.

"After you left, Ms. Cen, the boss had a stomach problem. The scene was put on hold temporarily. There was a lot of trouble with the beating before, and the boss asked me not to contact you because I was afraid that it would involve you," Ben hesitated to speak.Fear of implicating Cen Xiao was Gu Weiye's statement. He knew that the matter was far from that simple, and he speculated that there might be a serious conflict between the two of them.

She wanted to give him a space of peace, so why not him.But even when he was sick, he didn't say a word, wouldn't it be too much.

Cen Xiao felt that the nerves in the back of his head were bouncing happily, and the stretch made his whole head numb and painful.She decided in her heart that after she put down the phone, she would buy a plane ticket.

"The boss is not in Hengdian now. He is in Chengdu, his mother's house. If Miss Cen wants to go there, I will send you the detailed address."

Gu Weiye's mother?The mother who divorced his father when he was very young, and then abandoned them to go abroad alone?
She felt panicked, if that was the case, did it mean that Gu Weiye was seriously ill this time, and even her mother came back to take care of her?

She couldn't wait to ask Ben for clarification, but Ben only told her, don't worry, everything will be clear when you go.

The old man, who was buried in the grass and trees, saw a girl in a black dress and holding a suitcase standing in front of the black iron gate looking back and forth, and clapped his hands to greet her.

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for... Gu... I'm looking for Ms. Su Lilan." If she directly said that she was looking for Gu Weiye, she was afraid that the other party would think that she was a movie fan who got the news and came to see the idol.

The old man snorted, looked at Cen Xiao, and said gently and politely: "Wait a moment, I'll ask."

While waiting, she accidentally saw mud splashed on the hem of her skirt, not afraid that it would be impolite to see Gu Weiye's mother later, so she lowered her head and poured out some mineral water, rubbing it with her hands to clean it up.

She came in a hurry and didn't have time to check the address before she came out. She didn't know that Gu Weiye's mother's home was actually in the countryside in the suburbs of Chengdu, otherwise she would never have worn a skirt.

"You are looking for me?"

Hearing the loud and friendly female voice, Cen Xiao quickly straightened up, "Hello, Auntie."

"You know me?" Su Lilan doesn't go back to China very often, but occasionally, she either lives here or lives in the house in Suzhou.After immigrating for many years, her friends are all abroad. Apart from the occasional contact with a few relatives in China, Su Lilan does not remember that she has ever met a young girl.

Cen Xiao decided not to make any more detours, and looked at Gu's mother sincerely, "Auntie, my name is Cen Xiao. I am looking after Gu Weiye."
