Chapter 49 Airport Pickup (I)

A few days after forcefully kissing Huo Yan, Lan Su felt uneasy.

　　Especially when eating, you can see that this person puts the food into his mouth from the left side to avoid touching the wound, and even drinks soup after letting it cool down.

　　I still feel a little guilty.

　　But it was only one point. After all, it was Huo Yan who threatened her first. If it was in the past, the punches would have been thrown out for several rounds. She just "retaliated" in the way Huo Yan "threatened" her, which was considered mild.

　　On the third day after the incident, Lan Su set off for Thailand to film a movie. He kept hypnotizing himself that Huo Yan was a wound-healing monster and could heal just by closing and opening his eyes.

Now, there is one more important thing - to find "Black Mountain".

　　Since Huo Yan has no idea where to start, then what about the other members of the Huo family?

　　The crew of "Blade" paused for ten days after the shooting, and after resuming work, they shot until late at night every day to catch up with the progress. Lan Su, as the second female lead with the most action scenes, often flew around on wires.

　　Fortunately, she was very good at completing her movements, and she was able to complete her parts ahead of schedule.

　　The work was finished early that day, and while the crew was reshooting the heroine's running scene, she pretended to be waiting and walked to the rest area.

　　Sitting opposite was the daughter of the Huo family, Huo Jingjing, who had made a comeback after being disfigured.

Earlier, in order to deal with Lan Su, Huo Jingjing put a potion that causes skin ulcers in her liquid foundation. However, Lan Su saw through her plan and switched the potion. Instead, she used the problematic liquid foundation herself. In the end, her entire left cheek was ulcerated and it took her three months to repair it.

　　"Is there no seat anywhere else?" Seeing Lan Su sitting over, Huo Jingjing immediately frowned and rolled her eyes.

　　Lan Su leaned back on the folding chair holding the script, and calmly marked the lines: "This chair doesn't have a name on it, so I can't sit on it? If you don't like me, you can apply for a single rest room."

　　Huo Jingjing was furious - Director Mi Huai hated being treated specially. Even the leading actress didn't have a private rest room, so how could she, female No. 8, have that?

　　Looking around, seeing no one else, he stopped pretending:

　　"Lan Su, don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because Huo Yan is here. I haven't settled the score with you for the last disfigurement."

　　Lan Su was not good at bickering originally, but during the time of marriage, she saw Huo Yan quarreling with many people. She followed his example and learned a little bit from him.

　　Step 1 - Don't get angry. Staying calm will do double damage to your opponent.

　　Then she tucked her hair behind her ears and said calmly:

　　"Don't do that. If we really want to settle the score, I can't beat you. The Huo family is rich and powerful, and I have nothing."

　　Huo Jingjing was furious. After Lan Su married Huo Yan, she immediately had a commercial building under her name. She also relied on Huo Yan's relationship to enter the entertainment industry and played the second female role under Mi Huai, who won the Best Director Award at a young age. Is this still called "nothing"?

Huo Jingjing relied on the Huo family's connections for five years and only got the No. 8 female position.

　　But it was impossible for her to calculate this huge disparity, because the more she calculated, the more she found that she was stretched to the limit.

　　I could only suppress my anger and grievance and said:

　　"That's good to know. In this generation, my grandfather loves me the most. When he knew I wanted to make a movie, he immediately contacted Director Sun for me. When this movie is finished, I will join the crew as the female lead. What else do you want?"

　　The quality of the heroine bought with money is probably questionable.

　　But this can satisfy Huo Jingjing's vanity, so Lan Su was tolerant and didn't care about it. Instead, he asked:

　　"Want to buy you anything?"

　　"certainly."

　　Lan Su's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he continued in that nonchalant tone:

　　"Ancient paintings are popular on the black market recently. "Rose", "Lady in Qipao", "Sunset Horse", and "Black Mountain" are all worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. If you really like them, ask grandpa to buy them for you."

　　"What!"

Just like Huo Yan, when Huo Jingjing heard the word "Black Mountain", her pupils felt as if they were pricked by needles and she sat up suddenly.

　　"You said Black Mountain was sold?"

Lan Su took her abnormality into consideration and said calmly, "Why are you so nervous? Black Mountain is just a painting from the Republic of China. It's not very old and it's not very valuable."

　　Huo Jingjing sneered: "What do you know? Grandpa took great pains to get Black Mountain, how could he possibly sell it? Where did you see it?"

　　Lan Su would not put herself in the spotlight: "A friend just said it casually."

　　Huo Jingjing: "What friend? Can you give me information about the black market?"

　　Lan Su shrugged: "After all, the Lan family is in the antique business, so it's normal for them to have some exposure to the black market, right? Do I need to report to you the Lan family's information channels?"

　　"snort."

　　Seeing that there was no real evidence, Huo Jingjing was relieved and said sarcastically:

　　"Even if he's selling Black Mountain, it must be a fake. This painting is kept by my grandfather himself. Even if the Huo family loses all their assets, he won't sell it."

　　As time went by, Huo Jingjing's vanity was greatly satisfied. She thought that in terms of property, what Lan Su had was still insignificant compared to the Huo family.

　　When she was satisfied and went to film, Lan Su also stood up triumphantly, pulled off the hair tie, and let the curly hair spread out and fell softly on her shoulders. She raised her hand and combed the hair that fell on her forehead to her ears. The moment she turned and walked towards the hotel, her eyes were bright, and it was obvious that she understood something.

　　A few days later, Lan Su went to the mall alone, intending to buy some gifts for her when she returned home. Among them was a bottle of Thai massage oil. She took a photo and sent it to Huo Yan, asking her on WeChat:

　　[Can you help me see if Grandpa will like this gift? ]

　　Almost instantly, a call came from Huo Yan.

　　"Are you coming back?" Huo Yan asked.

"Well, my scenes are almost done now. I'll be back next Friday and have two weeks to rest. I'll come back to shoot the ending later." Lan Su answered truthfully.

　　On the other side, Huo Yan tapped the rhythm with his fingers on the desk, and finally showed a hint of joy after Lan Su left:

　　"What's the flight date? I'll pick you up."

　　Lan Su refused: "I can just take the studio's car, you don't have to go there."

　　Huo Yan's reason was legitimate: "The new couple rings have just been launched and they need to attract attention."

　　"Oh, yes."

　　In Lan Su's heart, Huo Yan was a person who put business first. Whenever she was given a business reason, she would respond without hesitation.

　　"The day after tomorrow afternoon, we should arrive at the airport around 4 o'clock."

　　"good."

　　Huo Yan deleted the meeting for the day after tomorrow afternoon from his electronic schedule. Then he remembered why this person was looking for him and clicked on the picture in the WeChat chat box.

　　"Why do you suddenly want to buy a gift for the old man?"

　　Lan Su picked her words: "Well, we have been married for so long. Apart from that visit, I have never been back since then. So, I wanted to go back and see him. After all, he is older and would like to be in a lively environment."

　　This reason was warm and natural, and she thought about it for several days. She thought that although Huo Yan had a bad relationship with the people in the old house, as a businessman, he would always do something to save face, and it would also be good for the company to interact with the people in the old house.

　　Unexpectedly, there was no sound from the other end of the phone, only a faint rhythmic knocking sound, like an ancient pendulum clock striking the time.

　　"Black Mountain is not in the old house, don't bother with it."

　　Buzz!

Lan Su only felt a buzz in his head, and the whole person was trapped in the chaotic magnetic field of transverse waves. He gritted his teeth and said:

　　"What is Black Mountain? I don't understand."

　　Huo Yan was not joking with her, and his tone became serious:

　　"Lan Su, I solemnly remind you. No matter who mentions "Black Mountain" to you, if he has evil intentions towards this painting, or wants to use you to have evil intentions, it is best to stay away from him."

　　Lan Su kicked the stool in dismay and said angrily, "Now you are the only one who brings this up to me, should I stay away from you?"

　　Huo Yan: "I am your wife."

　　Lan Su: "What's wrong with my wife? There are so many people who kill their wives to get insurance."

　　Huo Yan: "…"

　　After two seconds of silence, Huo Yan asked, "Are you reminding me to buy insurance?"

　　Lan Su said indifferently: "You said that yourself."

　　Angry.

　　Although she was not in front of him, Huo Yan could clearly feel her emotions.

　　Normally, she should be relieved because Lan Su was no longer on guard against her like she was at the beginning, but began to show her emotions, even if they were negative.

　　But Huo Yan was a little confused at that time, and all he was thinking was, Lan Su seemed angry, and I had to say something to make her happy.

　　"Are you buying local specialties?" She continued the topic of buying gifts.

　　"No." Lan Su was upset.

　　"You just said you wanted to buy something for the old man."

　　"I did not say."

　　"I would be happy if... you brought me a present."

"It's nice to think that I'm catching sharks in the seafood market now."

　　Much later, Huo Yan asked her what she was thinking at the time and how she could come up with an excuse to catch sharks in the seafood market. Lan Su said, I originally thought of fishing in the Milky Way, but I thought it was too exaggerated.

　　In the end, it didn't get anywhere real.

　　Of course, this is a story for later. At that time, Huo Yan on the phone was still racking his brains to continue the topic, and even thought about whether he should ask if shark meat tasted good, when he heard the voice of the shopping guide on the other end of the phone:

　　"Ma'am, I found it. This scarf should be perfect for your wife!"

　　Lan Su covered the receiving port hastily out of guilt, but the sound had already passed through. When he picked up the phone again, Huo Yan's voice came through the outlet in a hesitant tone.

　　"I like scarves, too."

　　Okay, even more angry!
