Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 216 Running away
When a man pursues a woman, the mountain between them may be a mountain of gold.

When a girl chases a boy, the only thing between them may be a desert.

It is difficult for Yang Mi to pursue Liu Jing, and this layer of gauze is Qianqian.

There was no confession, no flowers, and the veil was just torn apart.

From then on, the relationship between the two changed tacitly.

Cheng Long, Tucker and Xixi were chatting, and Liu Jing remained silent.

What do you mean I need time? What kind of time do I need? It seems like I really need it.

A man wearing glasses? What man?
"A clean-looking man, probably between thirty and sixty years old. He seems to be a reporter." Tucker pondered hard. In his eyes, all Chinese men seemed to be the same.

"Is it thirty years old or sixty years old?" Liu Jing was impatient.

"Oh, I remember now. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a big bracelet on his wrist. I have to say, that bracelet was ugly." Tucker finally remembered.

"Oh, you mentioned that person, I also have an impression of him. You mentioned the reporter, it's really possible. We have booked the entire place, no one is allowed to enter or leave, but the staff actually let him in, it seems there is some connection." Cheng Long suddenly realized.

"That guy is a pervert. When they were eating together, he was watching with a telescope. Who am I? I am Officer Carter. Of course I can't tolerate it, so I just chased him away." Tucker was proud.

Sissi bit her lip, not caring about the ugly bracelet.

She bought the big gold bracelet, which Liu Jing once criticized as tacky. Teacher An didn't think it was tacky, nor did she think it was dazzling, and it didn't match her temperament, so she happily put it on.

Liu Jing pulled her to the side, not wanting to listen to the two bastards showing off.

"Why is Lao An here? Didn't he just take two days off?" Liu Jing scratched his head.

"I don't have to go to work tonight." Xixi was as aggressive as before, and now she was as timid as before. She pulled Liu Jing's clothes and said timidly, "Mu Tou, how about we run away?"

She was worried that if she didn't run, her father would break her legs.

Since childhood, Mr. An has always advocated teaching by example. If it can't be done, then he doesn't mind turning into a wolf dad.

Liu Jing had never been beaten by Teacher An, because he was smart and knew his bottom line. In addition, he could run fast, so Old An was also worried that if the naughty kid fought him, he would definitely lose.

Xixi was hit on the palm of her hand with a ruler, leaving a red mark. Most importantly, she was told to hold back her tears. If she cried, the punishment would be doubled.

"Run?" Liu Jing's heart was moved, and he was also nervous. When an honest man gets angry, the scene is terrifying.

"Yes, let's elope and travel around the world. Let's find a place where there is no one..." Xixi nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Liu Jing's face turned black. "Are you sick? What era is this? Where should I elope with you? Mars or Saturn?"

Xixi stuck out her tongue, impulsive.

"Let's finish the filming and return home quickly, so we don't have to say goodbye to Lao An." Liu Jing sighed. This was a very difficult situation, and he was at a loss. This was not a business, nor a battlefield, but a family matter.

"Tsk! I thought you had some good ideas, but you're just running away." Xixi mocked, but she felt much more relieved. The pressure was reduced by more than half when one person took on the burden and two people shared it.

"You were so fierce just now, why don't you come up with a good trick?" Liu Jing said angrily.

"Let's run away." Xixi lowered her head and looked submissive.

"Alas! Cao Gui once said in his discussion of war, 'The first time you are strong, the second time you are weak, and the third time you are exhausted. When he is exhausted, we are full, so we can defeat him. Lao An is a stubborn donkey, full of anger and momentum. Going back now is like walking into the muzzle of a gun. He is now resting and waiting for us to go back. Let's hide from him for two rounds first, and his momentum will naturally be lost.'" Liu Jing explained that his escape was completely different from Xixi's. He retreated strategically, while Xixi was just running away.

"You are so amazing. If you were in the Three Kingdoms period, you would definitely be a strategist like Jia Xu." Sissi was so happy that her eyes turned into peach blossoms.

As his identity changed, Liu Jing enjoyed this look, "Couldn't it be a counselor like Zhuge Liang or Guo Jia?"

Jia Xu is a poisonous scholar, and Liu Jing suspects that Xixi is scolding him.

"One died before accomplishing his mission, and the other died young before accomplishing his great cause. Which one do you want to choose?" Xixi asked crisply.

"I want to go back to find our mother. She has to take care of this matter." Liu Jing rolled his eyes. It was not a good thing for Xixi to read too many books.

Before dawn, the scene was finally finished. The filming was not over yet, but there was no more story between the two of them.

The two did not dare to go back to the hotel. They were very glad that they had their documents with them, and they went directly to the airport to change their flights.

The original plan was to fly to Hong Kong two nights later, but they spent a lot of money to change it to fly to Hong Kong at noon today.

This was the earliest flight, and there was no earlier one. The two of them were very nervous and stayed at the airport for several hours, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the plane took off.

If they delayed, something might happen. As a diplomat stationed in France, Lao An could not stay in Paris. They both agreed that it was safest to return to China.

As for the suitcase, the assistant hasn't left yet, so let them bring it back.

"Wow..." After stepping onto the land of Hong Kong, Xixi was completely relieved.

"Don't relax too soon, I have no money in my wallet." Liu Jing looked at the familiar place, and his sense of security also increased.

"As long as you have a card, it's fine." Xixi didn't care.

"There are quite a few cards, but not much money in them. The card with the most money was taken away by you the day before yesterday." Liu Jing looked depressed.

Old An treated his children to a big dinner, took them to various places for fun, and strolled along the Champs-Elysées.

The money for meals and entertainment was paid by Lao An.

When Xixi was shopping, she bought a lot of gifts for her father and used Liu Jing's card to pay.

After swiping the card, she naturally put it into her wallet.

"That card doesn't even have one million on it, and you say that means you have money?" Xixi looked at Liu Jing in disbelief.

"The second most valuable card has been almost used up to buy plane tickets. The balance on all other cards combined probably doesn't even reach 10,000 yuan." Liu Jing scratched his head. There were so many cards, but so little money on them. It was a bit embarrassing.

"You've earned a lot in a year, where's the money?" Xixi complained, her heart bleeding. In her opinion, the money was hers, and this guy wouldn't give it to some vixen.

If he could give Gao Yuanyuan one million back then, he could probably give Yang Mi ten million.

"I spent the money on decorating the office and buying equipment. I invested the money I earned this year in sugar men. I didn't have enough money on hand, so I took five million from you. The money is of no use to me, so I didn't withdraw any money from the company." Liu Jing explained.

Liu Jing has indeed made a lot of money, and film pay is just one of his sources of income.

Although there is no commercial endorsement, there are still royalties from Yun Taikang.

He also has a stake in the resort hotel opened by Zhang Min and gets a share of the profits every year.

This is just him personally, not to mention several companies.

Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the money was spent in the right way, it would be fine. "What should I do? How about calling my mom?"

Her passport and ID card were in Liu Jing's bag, and her wallet was in the suitcase, which was left in the hotel.

As for her bag, there were a small mirror, sunglasses, wet wipes, sanitary napkins, lipstick, hand cream, powder, etc., as well as a folding umbrella. There was a dazzling array of things, but there was no wallet.

When Liu Jing said this to her, she was quite reasonable. You have a wallet on you, why should I take it?
"We still don't know what's going on with Sister Li." Liu Jing shook his head.

"I'll call Tangtang and ask her to transfer some money to you." Xixi frowned. The dead guy had many ways to make money. Just call Zhang Min and millions would be deposited into his account.

Even if he didn't go to Zhang Min, he could borrow money from those friends in minutes.

So she didn't wait for Liu Jing to speak and gave the choice first.

"Forget it. Old Hu was transferred to Hong Kong for treatment, and I haven't been to see him yet. Since I'm here, I might as well go and visit him." Liu Jing sighed and went to borrow some money from Old Cai.

"Okay." Xixi nodded. She understood Liu Jing's thoughts and didn't want to alarm too many people.

"Do you think we are sick? How did we end up in this situation? If we stay in Paris, will Old An eat us up? At most he will get a beating, what else can he do?" Liu Jing was very depressed, and on impulse, he ran away with Xixi.

Thinking about it now, I feel so regretful.

Sissi is childish, and he actually follows suit. It turns out that stupidity is contagious.

"Stop talking nonsense." Xixi said impatiently.

The two of them still had enough money for a taxi, so they went straight to the hospital where Lao Hu was.

They had contacted Lao Cai before they came.

Lao Hu has completely lost the spirit he had in Jiaxing Hospital. At that time, he was still talking and laughing, saying that he often bumped into others in the play, and this time he was bumped by someone else.

He already knew about his assistant's death and was silent for a while.

Liu Jing chatted with him for a few words and then pulled Xixi out.

"Mu Tou, I want to discuss something with you. The sugar man production cannot be stopped. Lao Li is preparing to shoot "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which is a unit drama. Can you invite a few big-name stars to boost the popularity of the sugar man and give employees and partners some confidence?" Lao Cai said it very directly, without any beating around the bush.

Liu Jing is now a shareholder of Tangren, holding 30% of the shares, so there is no need for her to hide anything.

"The budget for "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is not high. If we invite big names, the remuneration will definitely exceed one-third." Liu Jing frowned.

"So ask them to give us a friendly price." Old Cai felt a little embarrassed.

"All artists from Chunqiu can be given a friendly price, but I can't control other people." Liu Jing answered bluntly.

"Where is Yifei?" Old Cai was beating around the bush. She was trying to target Xixi.

Just as Xixi was about to agree, Liu Jing said, "She doesn't have time. She's still a student and the school doesn't give her any vacations."

Old Cai snorted and said, "It's not holiday time now, but you are still running around."

Seeing Liu Jing's firm attitude, she could only say the second thing, "About a quarter of the scenes of The Legend of the Condor Heroes have been filmed, only the scenes of Guo Jing and Hua Zheng, and the scene at the end where Genghis Khan unified the grasslands. The other scenes have not been filmed. I would like to invite you to play Yang Kang. Your joining this play can also give everyone a reassurance."

"Okay." Liu Jing agreed readily this time.

"besides……"

As Lao Cai opened his mouth, Xixi's phone rang and she looked at Liu Jing in embarrassment.

"We both have something else to do, let's talk about it later." Liu Jing pulled Xixi aside, as Old Cai was not suitable to listen.

Old Cai shook his head, feeling both regret and envy, "Liu Yifei is an ace. It would be great if she could come to Sugar Man."

Liu Jing and Xixi came to a quiet corner, and Lao An's phone rang for the second time.

"Take it. If you stick your head out, you'll get stabbed. If you hide your head, you'll get stabbed. You'll be executed sooner or later." Liu Jing sighed.

"Just now it was so energetic, but now it's declining." Xixi complained. Things changed so quickly.

She answered the call and turned on the speakerphone directly without daring to speak first.

"Hello! Xixi, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet? Is there something wrong with the crew?" Lao An answered the phone and asked a series of questions.

"We...we have something urgent to do, so we came to Xiangjiang." Xixi and Liu Jing looked at each other. Why wasn't it a storm? This was not right.

"What's going on over there? Your luggage is still in the hotel." Lao An was very nervous. They had to leave in such a hurry. This must be a big deal.

"Uh! Let's go see Lao Hu, he...he...he...is fine."
