Chapter 228 1 Everything is fine
Hearing the news, Jiang Mo didn't have any unnecessary reaction. She asked calmly: "Do you suspect that I asked someone to hit her?"
"Of course I don't think so. I'm afraid that the Lu family might think so and cause trouble for you, so I'm asking you."
"No." Jiang Mo said lightly.
"That's good." Xu Jingtong glanced aside and then asked, "Your aunt wants to talk to you, do you want to say it?"
Jiang Mo's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled, revealing her panic.
"No need," she said, "Just convey your New Year wishes to me."
Xu Jingtong was not surprised by the expected answer: "Okay, so are you. Happy New Year."
Just as a crew member came to call outside, Jiang Mo hung up the video and left the room.
This time the dinner was not in the hotel restaurant, but in the studio, where a long table was set up.The cast and crew of the production crew sat on both sides, making the scene lively and noisy.
Yuanmei is not here, he went home to celebrate the New Year.The second female lead went to the local TV show, so Jiang Mo, the third female lead, was placed to Luo Hongfeng's right.
Dinner was hot pot. There were a dozen pots placed on the long table. An old photographer with some qualifications joked with a smile: "I am in a good position. I can eat both pots. The left hand has clear soup and the right hand is spicy. I am so happy." ."
Everyone around him laughed and put food into the hot pot.
"Why don't you move your chopsticks?" Luo Hongfeng asked Jiang Mo, "If you're celebrating the New Year, you should give yourself a holiday and don't have to be so strict. Just now Xu Zhi sent me a special message, asking me to help you prepare a bowl of sesame sauce for dipping. Said you could eat it today."
When the old photographer heard this, he immediately held up the sesame paste bottle and asked, "Who? Who said you want sesame paste?"
"Here!" Luo Hongfeng raised his hand, "I'll make some for Jiang Mo."
Luo Hongfeng put three tablespoons into the small white porcelain bowl and asked Jiang Mo: "Would you like chive flowers and soybean curd?"
Jiang Mo smiled: "I'll do it myself."
"Here, let you try it. I'm very good at making sauces."
Luo Hongfeng put white sesame seeds, chili oil and crushed peanuts in the bowl. After mixing well, he put two slices of hot and curled fat lamb slices in: "Here, let's try your sister Luo's sauce."
Jiang Mo picked up a piece of mutton roll and put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly for a while, and then swallowed it.
"How is it?" Luo Hongfeng asked.
"It's delicious." Jiang Mo smiled and nodded.
But after eating a few slices, she realized she was full.
In fact, she wasn't very hungry at all.
Luo Hongfeng lamented that she had eaten too little, and asked her if she wanted to eat while scalding the vegetables.
"I'm full, please eat more."
She hasn't had much appetite lately, probably a side effect of the medication.When she was taking medicine in the past, there would be times when she couldn't eat because she simply didn't feel hungry.
The people around him were chatting enthusiastically, covering all kinds of topics, but it didn't make people feel noisy.
Jiang Mo slowly looked at everyone in the steam rising from the pot, scanning the expressions on their faces.
Many people's cheeks were red. I don't know whether it was because of drinking or being smoked by the heat. In short, it was very suitable for the occasion.The New Year should be prosperous and joyful.
Jiang Mo suddenly felt that she was a little out of place in this environment. She felt like she was cut into a transparent cover, with a membrane around her ears, isolating her from the excitement around her.
She could hear those sounds and feel those atmospheres, but such red fire could not invade her body and pull her into such an atmosphere.
She felt like an outsider.
His eyes felt sour for a while, and the uncontrollable tears welled up again.She hurriedly lowered her head to prevent others from seeing her, so as not to spoil their happiness.
People started making New Year calls one after another, so she took the opportunity to leave.
When she walked to an unoccupied corner where filming equipment was piled, she seemed to catch her breath. She took a few long breaths and wiped her eyes with a tissue.
This spacious room of several hundred square meters was unusually large. The side where the dining table was set was steaming hot, while the side where no one was around was cold. There was even an icy night breeze coming in through the open window on one side, making it even colder.
A message came on the phone: "Can you answer the phone?"
Jiang Mo wiped her nose hurriedly and replied: "Convenient."
The phone call came from the plastic husband.
Compared to the noise on her side, his side was much quieter, with only the sounds of the gala in the background.
"What did you have for dinner?"
"hot pot."
"Did you use that sesame sauce dipping sauce you've been craving for?"
"Eat it." Jiang Mo smiled, "It's delicious! I ate a lot. Our mutton tonight was brought back from Inner Mongolia by a colleague. It was so fresh and tender, and there was no smell at all!"
"Did you watch the party?"
"Well!" Jiang Mo looked up at the big screen hanging on the roof not far away. A colorful dance was playing on it. Although it was too far away to hear the sound, it looked quite festive.
"This dance is really interesting. These men are dressed like flowers. It's so funny." Jiang Mo said with a smile, "Hey, I know the lead singer. He is even more handsome in person than on the screen."
Gu Jichen's tone dropped slightly: "Really?"
He was standing on the porch, and when he heard her say this, he turned around and went back into the house, insisting on seeing who this handsome star was.
Tsk, just like that, very ordinary.
Jiang Mo heard that something was wrong in his tone and hurriedly changed the subject: "Is grandma watching the show too? Which program does grandma like best?"
You're careless. You shouldn't praise other men for being handsome. Your plastic husband already has low self-esteem about his appearance. Hearing her say that must make him feel bad.
Really, she is celebrating the Chinese New Year, how can she speak without going through her brain.
Knowing that she was changing the topic, Gu Jichen still went on as she said.
He could clearly tell that she was not in high spirits, and there was no joyful New Year atmosphere at all.She was currently talking to him on the phone with all her energy in mind.
She was always like this and didn't want anyone to know that she was bad.
If he hadn't known her true state, he might have been overshadowed by her.
For a moment, Gu Jichen couldn't tell what he was feeling, whether he was worried or distressed. Anyway, the sourness that gradually emerged made his chest swell and choke.
He could feel the loneliness and desolation beneath her forced excitement, and he could analyze the exhaustion and lethargy that followed her excitement.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jichen lowered his eyes and looked at the dialog box on his phone.
It was sent to him by a crew member: "Ms. Jiang's appetite is not very good, so she only ate a few bites of hot pot, drank a glass of wine, and kept listening to others talking."
There is also a photo of Jiang Mo.
This staff member was far away from her, and through the mist of the hot pot, her facial features could not be seen clearly, except for a thin and blurry outline.But it was obvious that she was surprisingly quiet amidst the commotion.
Gu Jichen turned off his phone and looked at Grandma Zhou: "Grandma, I'm leaving first."
"Go quickly, go quickly." Grandma Zhou waved her hands hurriedly.
During the meal just now, Gu Jichen said that he would leave Zhou Jiang after the New Year's Eve dinner and go back to Beicheng to find Cheng Yi on the set.
Grandma Zhou was so happy that her eldest grandson finally did something beautiful.
"I don't need you to accompany me here. You go find Cheng Yi." Grandma Zhou pushed him out of the door and hung a cloth bag in his hand. "Take your things and don't forget them."
"Okay, you can go back."
"Go, go." Grandma Zhou waved to him with a smile, wishing that he would start running and fly to Beicheng as fast as possible to accompany her grandson-in-law.
Grandma Zhou doesn't feel lonely at all. She is used to living alone.To her, everything is fine when the juniors are doing well.
