Zhu Shuangyao was completely oblivious to the reactions of Xiao Wen and Song Nan. She was still wondering how she could get rid of these two and borrow a phone from someone else.
Song Nan stared at Zhu Shuangyao with a complicated look in her eyes for a while and quickly withdrew her gaze before Zhu Shuangyao noticed. She said to Xiao Wen, "Maybe she was under too much pressure a few days ago. It's okay to forget."
Lan Zhen never showed such a relieved look on her face before. Before she got sick, she was full of enthusiasm for this industry. Every time after shooting a magazine or a movie, even though her face was tired, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
After she got sick, she always had a blank expression, or was haughty or contemptuous. More importantly, the way she looked at them was strange.
Song Nan knew that something must be wrong with Lan Zhen again. But after repeated examinations, they couldn't find out what exactly was wrong with her. Now that she had lost her memory and regarded them as strangers, forcing her to go to the hospital might have the opposite effect.
She thought, forget it. Maybe it was better for her to stay in this state of ignorance. Maybe Lan Zhen would recover her memory when she gradually gained her trust.
Song Nan said, "You keep an eye on her. Lan Zhen still has a variety show. After she finishes this show, I'll let her take a few months off and then take her to see a doctor."
Xiao Wen hesitated a bit. "But this is exactly the time when Sister Lan is at the peak of her popularity. If she's out of the fans' sight for a long time, her career will be greatly affected. When she comes back, the situation won't be as good as it is now."
Didn't Song Nan know this?
Stopping Lan Zhen's schedule would affect not only Lan Zhen but also her own career. But she was really worried about Lan Zhen's state.
At first, she thought Lan Zhen was just under temporary pressure. When Lan Zhen's memory got confused, she took her to the hospital for an examination. The doctor just said it was due to stress and told her to take good care of herself, so she didn't take it seriously. But until today, when Lan Zhen lost her memory, she finally realized that Lan Zhen's problem was very serious.
She was going to take Lan Zhen abroad for a good rest.
Song Nan said to Xiao Wen, "Her health is the most important thing. We've earned enough money in these years. It's time to stop and take a good rest. Don't worry. Even if I leave, I'll definitely arrange a good future for you."
Xiao Wen also had feelings for them. Although she looked young, she had actually been through thick and thin with Lan Zhen and Song Nan. Hearing what Song Nan said, she said, "Then I'll look for a good doctor and a good sanatorium abroad."
Song Nan patted her on the shoulder. "Thanks."
Xiao Wen smiled. "Don't thank me. Consider it as a farewell gift. And Sister Lan will come back after she recovers. She loves acting so much that she won't give up so easily."
Song Nan smiled. She walked towards Zhu Shuangyao, who was in a daze, and coughed. "Come back to your senses, Lan Zhen. Today's schedule is over. I'll ask Xiao Wen to take you home."
Zhu Shuangyao then came to her senses, nodded to Song Nan, and looked at Xiao Wen. Xiao Wen said to her, "Sister Lan, come with me. Let's go home first."
Zhu Shuangyao didn't know where Lan Zhen's home was. Fortunately, as a celebrity, Lan Zhen had an assistant. Otherwise, she would be completely at a loss on her own.
Xiao Wen took her into the nanny car. On the way, she said to her, "Sister Lan, you once incited your fans to cyber - bully others on the Internet. Sister Song is dealing with the public relations. You'd better not go online recently, or you'll easily be attacked."
Lan Zhen incited others to cyber - bully? Zhu Shuangyao pursed her lips. This was too much.
Xiao Wen glanced at Zhu Shuangyao's expression through the rear - view mirror. Good. She knew she had done something wrong and was starting to feel guilty and regretful now. It was better than before.
Zhu Shuangyao asked worriedly, "Should I go online to apologize? And those fans were incited by Lan... me. Should I go to the police station to turn myself in?"
Xiao Wen: …
Xiao Wen: "No need. It's just a common practice in the entertainment industry. The other side also asked their fans to cyber - bully you. It's even."
Well... the entertainment circle was really chaotic.
Next, Xiao Wen began to tell Zhu Shuangyao in great detail about Lan Zhen's background.
Lan Zhen was an orphan. Thanks to the national policy, she went to university. She studied acting at the prestigious Imperial Capital Academy of Drama in China. Because she was very beautiful, she became famous as soon as she entered the university. After becoming famous, she actively approached Song Nan and wanted to be an artist under her. The two had been partners ever since.
She told Zhu Shuangyao every single detail about the relationship between Lan Zhen and Song Nan. Zhu Shuangyao suspected that Xiao Wen might have noticed something. But when she carefully observed Xiao Wen's expression, it seemed quite normal.
She could only say "Oh", meaning that she understood. Seeing Xiao Wen's attitude soften, Zhu Shuangyao had another idea. She hesitated and asked, "Xiao Wen, can you lend me your phone to make a call?"
Xiao Wen's eyes suddenly turned cold. It seemed that Sister Lan hadn't forgotten everything and still had some memories. Xiao Wen didn't want to lend her the phone, so she said to her, "Sister Lan, I'm about to get on the viaduct. We'll talk about it later."
She still refused to lend it. Zhu Shuangyao scratched her fingers and said, "Okay."
Xiao Wen took Zhu Shuangyao home, watched her enter the door, and then did something to the door before leaving.
Zhu Shuangyao was looking through the peephole. After Xiao Wen left, she immediately wanted to open the door and go out to borrow a phone. But when she pulled the door hard, and then pulled it again, it wouldn't open.
She studied it carefully and found that Xiao Wen had set permissions on the door lock, preventing her from opening the door. Wasn't this just imprisoning her here? Wouldn't Mr. Huo be worried sick?
Zhu Shuangyao sat down angrily.
Zhu Shuangyao was locked up like this for two or three days in a row. Someone came to deliver meals on time every day, but no one else came. There was a TV but no computer. Before Xiao Wen took her back, all the communication tools had been confiscated by Xiao Wen.
No matter how strong she was, she couldn't kick open the anti - theft door! And she lived on the 16th floor. How could she get out?
Zhu Shuangyao was locked up for several days.
She had no choice but to look for clues in this house. She thought that in the worst - case scenario, she couldn't get in touch with Mr. Huo. She wasn't sure if Mr. Huo could recognize her. If Mr. Huo ignored her, she would have to live as Lan Zhen for the time being and then find other ways to try to get back to her original identity.
But after rummaging through the whole house, she found that the house was as clean as a model room. It had no sense of human presence at all, as if no one had lived there for months. Some personal items were covered with dust.
Zhu Shuangyao rummaged through everything carefully. Most of them were personal items. She slumped down on the carpet beside the bed, playing with a steel ball for finger exercise.
Unexpectedly, by accident, the steel ball rolled under the bed. Zhu Shuangyao failed to catch it, so she had to lie on the floor and reach under the bed to get the steel ball.
But as she was feeling around, she didn't know what she touched. There was a soft "ding" sound, as if something had been opened outside.
Zhu Shuangyao quickly crawled out from under the bed, not caring about the steel ball anymore. She saw that the bed she had slept in for several days had a gap the size of an A4 paper opened, and there was a small safe lying inside.
