285 Don’t go out
Jiang se pulled her hair up messily and reached out to scratch it. The staff member who had come to lead the way felt sorry for her originally smooth and moist hair when she did not care about it at all.
Her hair quality was very good. When it was let down, she looked like a model in a shampoo commercial on TV. However, after she messed it up, she even deliberately left a few strands in front of her forehead, making her hair look a little messy. The staff turned his head away, not quite understanding her actions.
She led them to the door of the conference room. The woman who led the way knocked on the door. Yang Boxi’s voice came from inside, “please come in. the woman pushed the door open. Liu Ye and Zhao rang were sitting on the couch and talking. Yang Boxi had moved a stool to the side. When Jiang se entered, Liu Ye’s back was facing her, so yang Boxi and Zhao rang noticed her first.
The moment the two of them noticed Jiang se, their expressions changed.
“Why are you so cowardly?”
ah! Zhao rang could not help but exclaim. He had not seen Jiang se for almost two months. The end of January was close to the Spring Festival, so he had his own matters to attend to. Although he was thinking about the script for “demon,” other than talking to Jiang se on the phone, there was nothing else he could do.
After February, he had wanted to meet Jiang se but was rejected several times. Through Xia Chaoqun, he knew that Jiang se was busy and had even applied for leave from school. However, Zhao rang never dreamed that Jiang se would change so much in just two months!
When Zhao rang saw Jiang se, he was too surprised. Beside him, yang Boxi’s expression was similar. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was agape. He could not say anything for a long time.
The last time yang Boxi had seen Jiang se was at the Huaxia International Film Festival. Back then, Jiang se was radiant in a custom-made gown. She had an outstanding aura and was flawlessly beautiful. How could he have possibly linked the Jiang se back then to the Jiang se now?
After she entered the meeting room, her shoulders drooped slightly and her neck was lowered out of habit. She gave off a feeling of lethargy and was so thin that she looked like she would fall with a gust of wind. However, her bones supported her and she had a hint of stubbornness.
When Liu Ye saw Zhao rang and yang Boxi’s reactions, he felt that something was amiss. He turned around instinctively. The moment he saw Jiang se, he was also shocked.
Her hair was tied up messily, as if it had been tied up in a hurry. Most importantly, she had become very thin. Her wrists were so thin that they looked like they were skin and bones, and her knuckles were so thin that they looked like they would break if someone squeezed them.
The loose and old-fashioned black dress on her body was a little empty and did not match her figure well due to her overly thin body. A pair of chopsticks-like legs were exposed under the skirt. Most importantly, her pale face and the way she looked at people made Liu Ye’s scalp numb.
He still remembered how he was stunned when he first saw this girl. In ” the Grand occasion of Beiping, ” she was as beautiful as a Jade Orchid. However, at this moment, Jiang SE’s aura was weak and her face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He could still see some beauty under her messy hair, but it was all masked by her heavy and indescribable exhaustion.
At this time, she seemed to have a lot of things on her mind. She was a woman who was carrying a lot of pressure. Where was the elegance she had in the past?
“Luo Shen?”
When Liu Ye turned his head, the corners of her lips twitched into a smile. Her face and mouth were a little stiff. She was clearly smiling, but it gave off a numb and cold feeling. The blood vessels on her forehead even throbbed. She squinted her eyes, her cheek muscles trembled, and her wide sleeves trembled. Liu Ye clearly noticed that her entire body tensed up the moment she spoke. Her deeply-caved collarbone at the collar of her black coat was exposed because of her deep breath. The dent was much deeper.
Her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat, as if it had been dipped in poison, with a bit of hidden bitterness. When people heard it, they would shiver for no reason.
The ‘Luo Shen’ that Jiang se had called out was the male lead in ” the devil “. He was also the devil who had killed Zhang Yuqin’s daughter, ZhuZhu. After Zhang Yuqin had investigated the matter thoroughly and confirmed that something had happened to her daughter, she had finally found him.
Liu Ye had read the script before, so he quickly realized that Jiang se must have gotten into character the moment she arrived.
He had been talking to Zhao rang with a smile. When Jiang se called out to him, he was stunned for a moment before he quickly frowned. Then, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. His eyelids drooped, blocking most of his vision. When his gaze fell on Jiang SE’s leg, his expression immediately turned numb.
At the same time, he clenched his fist that was placed on his thigh. He quietly put it into his pocket and pressed it against his thigh. This was an instinctive action when one was nervous and on guard.
Jiang se walked toward him step by step. Amidst the clattering of her heels, her body was like a ghost. The man whom she had called out his name was now expressionless and calm. He did not say a word.
The man, who was confident and handsome a moment ago, had turned into a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties due to the subtle changes in his body language and expression. He answered her question silently with a wooden and cold expression.
“Luo Shen?”
what’s going on? ” Jiang se asked again. He looked up and his eyes fell on her. His pupils dilated.
His face was filled with disgust and contempt. After a short while, Liu Ye’s eyes turned bloodshot. When he looked at people, he gave off the illusion that his eyes were bloodshot from excitement. He slowly smiled. His smile was not exaggerated, but it made people feel like they were looking at a living demon baring its ferocious fangs.
“I am, Who are you?”
When he spoke, his brows were furrowed and his upper eyelids were wrinkled. There was a murderous glint in his eyes and the corners of his eyes were tensed. He looked like a cold, venomous snake. Jiang se chuckled.
“You don’t recognize me?” She sighed, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes. She muttered softly, ”
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time,”
Her voice was muffled and a little shaky. It was as if something that had been weighing on her heart for a long time had finally been released, but she could not get over it. It was as if she had finally gotten what she wanted, but at the same time, she sounded a little neurotic. Yang Boxi, who was watching from the side, felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively wondered if there was something wrong with Jiang se.
In reality, when Jiang se entered and shouted the name ‘Luo Shen’, Zhao rang knew that Jiang se was probably engrossed in her character.
He did not expect Jiang se and Liu Ye’s meeting to be so direct. Her actions were very risky. In front of Liu Ye, who had won Best Actor twice at the Huaxia Film Festival and whose acting skills had been acknowledged by the audience, directors, and film Critics, Jiang se might become a joke if she was not careful.
