Chapter 146 Sister Meng Rushes Home

It's been three days.

I haven't been able to contact Brother Xiu for three whole days.

Meng Ziyi, waiting outside the audition room of Huace Film Studio, kept repeating these two sentences to himself.

Since filming wrapped on "Love O2O", she would chat with Chen Xiu almost every day. If they were both busy with work during the day, Meng Ziyi would stay up until bedtime to chat.

If you're willing, you can always find a suitable opportunity to chat...

This situation continued until December 24th, Christmas Eve.

That is, the day of the premiere of "Detective Chinatown".

After seeing the interview clips from the premiere on Weibo, Meng Ziyi waited several hours to make sure the premiere ceremony was over before calling Chen Xiu.

The call didn't go through!
In the past, even if I couldn't reach someone by phone, there would only be no answer. But this time, I couldn't get through at all?
This unusual situation secretly worried Meng Ziyi.

But then she thought that Chen Xiu might be quite busy with the movie premiere, so it was normal for her to turn off her phone temporarily.

With this thought in mind, Sister Meng waited until the next day to try contacting Chen Xiu again, but she still couldn't get through...

On the third day, the 26th, which was the evening of the second day after the movie's release, Meng Ziyi still could not be contacted.

At this point, she already had the idea of ​​returning to the capital.

However, Yongle had arranged an important audition for the 27th, which made it impossible for Meng Ziyi to take leave.

Since it was already late that day, and the audition was scheduled for the morning of the 27th, Meng Ziyi could only endure for a few more hours and make a decision after the audition was over.

The next day, Meng Ziyi sat outside waiting for the audition, praying in her heart that nothing would happen to Chen Xiu.

While waiting, she suddenly thought of something else: she could contact Wei Feng and Xiong Ben!

The silly beauty's previously dull and lifeless eyes instantly lit up, and she quickly took out her phone and dialed Wei Feng's number.

"Hey, Sister Meng, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Feng, is Brother Xiu staying with you?"

"No. On the day of the premiere, the boss said he wasn't feeling well and went home early. Didn't you know?"

"He's not feeling well!?"

Meng Ziyi couldn't control her voice and shouted it out. The people around her who were also waiting for their auditions all turned to look at her.

Sensing the strange looks from these people, Sister Meng would probably have apologized awkwardly under normal circumstances.

Now, let's just go to hell!
I have more important things to do, so you all better shut your eyes.

She gave everyone a fierce glare, and Meng Ziyi hurriedly asked into her phone, "What's wrong with Brother Xiu? Is it serious? He's not feeling well, why can't we even get through to him on the phone?"

"I don't know! I've been busy with the movie release these past few days and haven't slept much... Oh right! Sister Meng, don't worry, it was Da Xiong who took the boss home that night. I'll call him and ask. Wait a moment."

At the critical moment, Wei Feng remained very calm.

"Okay, go ahead and ask, I'm waiting."

After saying that, Meng Ziyi hung up the phone first, thinking that Wei Feng should contact Xiong Ben as soon as possible so as not to delay.

Just as she was anxiously waiting for a call back, a guide suddenly walked out of the audition room.

"Number 15, Meng Ziyi, get ready, it's your turn for the audition!"

Before Sister Meng could react to the sound, her assistant, who had been waiting in front, rushed back and pulled her along.

"Sister Meng, it's your turn to audition."

"My turn?"

Meng Ziyi frowned, her face filled with anxiety and worry, hardly the demeanor one would expect from an audition.

But since I'm already here, and they've called me to the audition, I have to go in and take a look, even if it's just a formality.

Thinking of this, Meng Ziyi bit her lip lightly, swayed as she got up, and strode forward, rushing into the audition room, hoping to get through the audition as quickly as possible...

"Your current emotional state is very similar to Mu Nianci's! Have you practiced it specifically?"

Director Jiang Jiajun commented on Meng Ziyi's audition results.

In terms of temperament, he felt that Meng Ziyi did fit Mu Nianci somewhat, but her appearance was a bit too bright and beautiful, which did not quite fit Mu Nianci's character.

"I haven't had any specific training."

Having already performed once, Meng Ziyi rubbed her palm with her fingernails to calm herself down: "Director, my performance is over. Do you need to try other scenes?"

"Hmm, are you in a hurry?"

"a little bit."

"Then you can go out now! We'll let you know when we have the results."

Jiang Jiajun adjusted his glasses, his impression of Meng Ziyi inevitably dropping somewhat.

Knowing everything was perfectly clear to her, Sister Meng couldn't care less about the audition or the role; all she wanted was to leave the audition room as quickly as possible and check her phone.

After politely thanking her, Meng Ziyi turned around and left the audition room even faster than before.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiajun's brows furrowed involuntarily. "Sister Meng, Da Xiong said that after he took the boss home that night, everything was normal. It's just that the boss seemed to be in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he told Da Xiong to go back."

"Then why can't we get in touch with him?"

"He doesn't know either. The eldest brother gave Da Xiong a day off to go home and see his grandfather... I'm at the roadshow right now. The movie has just started. I'll go to the eldest brother's house in about 3 hours."

"No need, I'll head back to the capital now. Thank you, Xiao Feng."

After expressing his gratitude, Meng Ziyi immediately booked a flight to Beijing.

Standing beside her, the assistant, who knew she was going back to the capital, looked at Meng Ziyi somewhat timidly.

"Sister Meng, you've gone back to Beijing, what about me?"

"I'm giving you time off, but you'll still get paid as usual. I'll contact you again when you're done with this!"

Meng Ziyi had seen Chen Xiu use this technique many times and had already learned it through observation and practice.

The sudden use of it today left the assistant stunned and surprised, before her face lit up with excitement.

For working people, paid leave is the best thing ever! If Meng Ziyi could learn all of Chen Xiu's tricks, he could just give his assistant a red envelope and add a few emotionally charged words, and he could easily win over a Toastmaster.

Unfortunately, she's not in the mood for that right now.

Having bought his plane ticket, Meng Ziyi rushed to the airport without stopping, and then headed north back to Beijing.

After landing, she didn't waste a minute and hailed a car at the airport entrance, heading straight back to Xiangshan Qingqin.

When Meng Ziyi got home, it took her four and a half hours. Even taking into account the delays on the way, she wasted almost a single second.

Just as she stood at the small doorway, about to enter her password, a food delivery driver suddenly called out to Meng Ziyi.

"Miss, are you the owner of this house?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Oh, your friend ordered takeout, and I haven't been able to reach her by phone... Um, I'm in a bit of a rush, and my electric scooter is still parked at the entrance of the complex. Could you please take it in for me?"

When entering this villa area, delivery drivers have to park their vehicles outside and register before they can come in.

If you don't wear a delivery uniform, like Nezha, the security guards won't stop you.

When Meng Ziyi heard the deliveryman say that someone had ordered takeout but couldn't be contacted, the first thing that popped into his mind was Chen Xiu's takeout order.

The heavy weight of worry that had been pressing on my heart suddenly dissipated at that moment.

A smile appeared on Sister Meng's bright and beautiful face: "The person who ordered takeout is my boyfriend, give me the food!"

"Boyfriend? Oh, okay..."

The delivery guy gave Meng Ziyi a strange look, thinking: The order clearly says Ms. Gu, how did it become this beautiful woman's boyfriend?

However, rich people have many tricks up their sleeves, and he just wanted to get it over with quickly so he wouldn't ask any more questions.

After taking the bag from the delivery guy, Meng Ziyi waited for him to leave before turning around to enter the password and walking briskly inside.

After crossing the front yard and arriving at the front door, Meng Ziyi, who was just about to open the door, suddenly remembered to check what Chen Xiu had bought.

It can't be some kind of medicine. Xiu-ge'er is so healthy, he shouldn't get sick.

Meng Ziyi thought to himself, then picked up the takeout order with his finger. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the name left on the order was Ms. Gu, followed by a string of numbers, and the item was Miu Miu women's clothing.

"Crench!"

The sound of a stiff paper bag being crumpled rang out, followed by the sound of a doorknob being turned.

With a blank expression, Meng Ziyi gripped the paper bag tightly in one hand and clenched his fist in the other as he walked inside.

I glanced around the living room; everything was fine, nothing had happened.

Turning to look at the spiral staircase, Sister Meng rushed up the stairs in twos and threes, but she deliberately kept her footsteps low.

Upon reaching the second floor, Meng Ziyi first went to check the nearest study. After discovering the mess inside, her originally bright and beautiful face instantly turned dark and gloomy.

Just as she was slowly walking towards the master bedroom, the deliberately left door open in the second bedroom, and the faint singing coming from inside, made Meng Ziyi stop in her tracks.

"Uvinas, the Miracle of Chachy..."

The a cappella singing, mixed with the sound of splashing water, made it impossible for Meng Ziyi to tell what song it was, but she recognized the person in the voice.

Pushing open the door and entering, Meng Ziyi moved against the wall to check the condition of the bed.

When she saw that there was no one under the blanket, she let out a long breath, then leaned against the wall to keep herself from collapsing to the ground from exhaustion.

"Hey~"

Taking a deep breath, Meng Ziyi composed herself and glanced at the hazy silhouette on the frosted glass of the bathroom.

Suppressing the urge to rush in and strangle her, Sister Meng stood silently outside, waiting for the person inside to finish showering, waiting for her to wrap herself in a towel and hair towel of unknown origin, waiting for the glass sliding door of the bathroom to be pulled open to one side...

The steam rising from the bathroom billowed out the door, accompanied by the floral scent of shower gel, and Naza, wrapped in a disposable bath towel and hair towel.

After taking a nice shower, Nazha was considering whether to go to Chen Xiu dressed like this when a voice, which was trying hard to suppress its anger, suddenly reached her ears.

"finished Wash?"
