The sound of rain and wind are getting louder and louder, and even indoors, it seems that you can hear it clearly.

The sky is dark and there is no limit to see.

Xia Wan stared at the mysterious text message on the screen, and her mood was not affected by the wind and rain outside, nor even by the text message.

She suddenly smiled.

Can't wait?

The smile in her eyes was not warm, so she called Xiao An, who had been following her almost inseparable, and then handed her the phone: "Check this number."

She had actually guessed who it was. After all, there were only a few things in her life. The person behind it could be said that it was not dark, but she still wanted clear evidence.

There are some things she can turn a blind eye to tolerate, but if she wants to challenge her bottom line, she will not be ruthless.

"I will do it as soon as possible." Xiao An took the phone and nodded, then walked towards a place with few people.

Xia Wan stood up and looked at the rain outside through the glass.

"Director Xia." The deputy director hurried over at this time.

Just listening to his voice, Xia Wan felt that something must have happened.

As expected.

"Originally we were going to another shooting venue in two days, and everything was arranged, but just now, a phone call came from the other side and said that the time was about to be delayed. I thought it was strange. There seemed to be hesitating and hiding something." The deputy director frowned and said.

In fact, in the past, whether it was filming, TV or advertising, this situation was not uncommon, but this time, he just felt that it was indescribable, especially the attitude of connecting with people there, which was very subtle.

The most annoying thing is that I can't find out anything useful.

That's why he felt strange.

After thinking about it, he said again: "It's better to wait for the rain to stop, I'll go there in person, over there..."

"No."

"What?"

Xia Wan turned around, shook her head slightly, and the curve of the corner of her mouth seemed to be a little smirk: "I can't change it even if I go, so wait for the time being."

If she was not mistaken, she should be waiting for her to "come forward".

Then wait and see who has better patience.

The deputy director was a little confused and wanted to say something, but when he saw Xia Wan's expression, he swallowed it back when he said that.

Forget it, I believe Director Xia is right. The movie can’t make any mistakes. After all, the biggest investor in the movie now is Director Xia’s husband, Mr. Huo, Huo...

The deputy director was heartbroken.

Mr. Huo?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Xia Wan asked casually when he noticed the deputy director's desire to speak.

The deputy director looked at her and somehow blurted out: "The news this morning... Director Xia, are you okay with Mr. Huo?"

He was upset after he finished speaking. After all, this was someone else's name. No matter how curious he was, he shouldn't ask this question.

"Sorry, Director Xia, I..."

"Do you think we have something to do?" Xia Wan smiled, not caring about it at all.

Her eyes were very clear, and the deputy director looked at it and understood.

Although Mr. Huo’s gossip was also circulated on the set this morning, most of the staff actually believed Mr. Huo and thought it was nonsense. Maybe it was Cheng Yu who directed and acted by himself.

He had no nerve to speak again.

Xia Wan didn't say anything, and glanced out the window again. After thinking about it, she said, "It seems that this rain will stop for a while. Waiting like this will be a waste of everyone's time. Let's finish work today, go back early to rest, and get a little earlier tomorrow."

The deputy director agreed: "Okay, then I'll inform you."

"Please trouble you."

"Director Xia, why are you polite?" The deputy director waved his hand, turned around and walked to the place where the crowd sheltered from the rain not far away.

Xia Wan was about to turn around, but her eyes suddenly collided with Jin Lin.

Between far apart, she could not see his expression clearly, and only saw him nodding to herself.

Xia Wan raised her lips and nodded, then withdrew her gaze.

But she didn't know that Jin Lin looked at her for a long time.

After standing for a while, Xia Wan decided to pack up and go home.

"Director Xia." Xiao An came back.

Xia Wan raised her eyebrows: "So quickly?"

Xiao An smiled embarrassedly: "Not yet, it's about half an hour later. It's because your phone rang and your father called it."

dad?

Xia Wan took the phone and happened to call Xia Zhengtao again at this time.

"Wanwan..."

More than fifty minutes later.

A car stopped in front of a tea room.

"Director Xia, I'll go in with you." Xiao An said while untiing his seat belt.

Xia Wan stopped her: "No, just wait for me in the car. If you are hungry, go to the nearby area to find something to eat. I will call you if you have something to do, don't worry."

She could probably guess why Xia Zhengtao was looking for her, so there was no need to worry about safety or something.

Xiao An also thought of this, so he did not persist anymore, but just repeated it: "Director Xia, call me if you have something to do."

"good."

After Xia Wan finished speaking, she pushed open the car door.

There was a waiter waiting in front of the tea room. When she saw her coming, she came up and said, "Ms. Xia? Mr. Xia is waiting for you in the private room. Please come with me."

Xia Wan nodded.

This tea room is in the garden style. The two of them walked through the corridor and the cobblestone path before they arrived at the private room where Xia Zhengtao was located.

"Thank you." Xia Wan thanked politely, then pushed open the door, "Dad..."

The voice came to an abrupt end.

In the box, there was not only Xia Zhengtao, but also an old man who seemed very old but still energetic. With just one glance, you can see that the old man has been in the forefront for a long time.

The atmosphere was not very good, and it could even be said to be very depressing.

"Wanwan..." Xia Zhengtao stood up with a pale face, looking at her wanting to speak but stopping, finally holding her hand and patting her, and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, your father will carry it for you."

Warmth flows in my heart, Xia Wan was moved and smiled slightly: "It's okay, Dad, don't worry."

She could see that the old man was not called by Xia Zhengtao, but should have appeared suddenly. Before she came, she should have said something to Xia Zhengtao, so the air pressure in the private room would be very low.

Xia Zhengtao was still worried: "Late..."

Xia Wan shook her head and simply took him and sat down on the chair.

Just so happened that she was sitting opposite the old man.

Even without raising her eyes, she could still clearly feel the old man's exploratory vision on her.

Majestic and sharp.

Xia Wan didn't care or look at him, but instead turned her eyes on a set of tea-making tools on the coffee table.

The corners of her lips curled slightly, and a faint smile appeared. She reached out and took the tea set and placed it in front of her.

Xia Zhengtao, who was standing beside him, was worried and upset, puzzled her actions: "Wanwan, you..."

"Aren't you here to have a tea? Let's make a cup of good tea first." Xia Wan interrupted him with a smile.

Xia Zhengtao wanted to say something, but when it touched her confident and indifferent eyes, she swallowed it back.

Xia Wan just pretended that there was no one else in the private room, and was busy with his actions without caring about himself.

Warm cup, wake up tea, make tea.

Soon, the tea fragrance filled the air.

Xia Wan then looked up and met the old man's gaze, then leaned over and handed the brewed tea to him with both hands.

"Please have tea." She said neither humble nor arrogant, polite and alienated.

After saying that, she didn't look at him anymore, and brought another cup of tea and put it in front of Xia Zhengtao.

Finally, it's her own.

Xia Zhengtao knew that she had always had ideas, and after experiencing this, she was no longer as impulsive as before. Thinking of this, he forced himself to suppress the stuffiness in his chest, picked up the teacup and started drinking.

Seeing this, Xia Wan smiled and said, “Is it delicious?”

"It's delicious." Xia Zhengtao nodded with relief.
