Chapter 74 Did he use drugs?

After filming wrapped up for the night, we returned to the hotel.

Jiang Yuan passed by the room that used to belong to Li Yitong and Yang Chaoyue. The door was open and the room was pitch black.

Jiang Yuan shone her phone flashlight around and found that the room was spotless.

The cute duvet cover that Li Yitong and Yang Chaoyue had bought themselves was gone, replaced by the hotel's own white bedding.

A brand-new glass was upside down on the table, with bottled water neatly arranged next to it.

A week ago, Jiang Yuan entered this place. Clothes and snacks were still folded on the table, the computer was placed casually, and next to it were the two of them, each with their own unique water cup.

Li Yitong prefers a simple light pink thermos, while Yang Chaoyue likes dopamine-themed cartoon water bottles.

Now, all traces of life have been erased, leaving only the monotonous feeling of a hotel.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shake the vintage floral porcelain cup that Tian Xiwei had left for him in his bag.

Including the water cups left by Li Yitong and Yang Chaoyue in his room, he has almost collected all kinds of cups.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, whether you're out or at home, you'll never lack a water cup.

"It seems the cleaning lady forgot to close the door after cleaning."

A voice came from behind, and Jiang Yuan turned around to look.

Then he saw Mencius standing with his arms crossed, leaning against the door, looking at him with a smile.

"It should be."

Jiang Yuan walked out of the room. "Then Sister Meng, please close the door for me."

"Please, Jiang Yuan, you're so nostalgic."

Mencius closed the door and joked, "Is it because of this personality that you always wanted to try different professions and new things in an attempt to change yourself?"

"Maybe so, I do have that problem."

Jiang Yuan casually remarked, "When I was little, my dad was an avid reader of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' and he'd use his literary flair to criticize me, saying that my son's nostalgia was unlike that of a ruthless hero. He said that this flaw of mine made me unlike a great ruler."

He is indeed quite nostalgic. In his previous life, he experienced different professions: working in a factory where he was fed by the rich young girl Xiao Yu, and working as a chef where he met the extra Zhang Er.

Although they didn't have much interaction, they kept in touch for many years afterward.

"Uncle is too biased. There's nothing wrong with being nostalgic."

Meng Ziyi stood gracefully in front of Jiang Yuan and said softly, "So there's no need to correct it."

"Yes, Sister Meng is right."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "So my dad shut up after that."

"."

Mencius was stunned. "I thought Uncle would make Xiao Jiang correct his ways."

"That's what he originally thought."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "But my mom gave my dad a good talking-to, and I paid the price for the pressure."

In fact, after his father saw that he was blessed with divine favor and great fortune, he changed his story.

From "My son cherishes the past, unlike a ruthless hero."

It transformed into, "My son is blessed beyond compare by Heaven; what harm is there in reminiscing?"

Jiang Yuan told Mencius about his father's two comments.

Mencius covered his mouth and chuckled: "Uncle, you're a cultured man."

"Not really, but he does live in his hometown. My mom runs a bookstore next to her guesthouse, pretending to be a cultured person."

Meng Ziyi's eyes lit up: "Which two shops are they? Can I visit them when I travel to Dali in the future?"

"sure."

Jiang Yuan told Mencius his name.

In fact, he thought his family's shop was pretty bad.

Without the good fortune that followed his birth, his parents' shop might have gone bankrupt twenty years ago, leaving them with a mountain of debt.

"Can I get a discount from the uncles and aunties?"

After noting down the shop's name, Meng Ziyi excitedly asked Jiang Yuan, "Can I meet your uncle and aunt? I'll bring Sister Qian to meet you next time she's free, and I'll treat you to a meal."

Mencius suggested bringing up his own mother.

"Sure, just tell the staff at the store my name."

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "But I might not be able to see my parents. My mom might be busy at the guesthouse, but my dad's bookstore is basically managed by the staff. My dad used to open the bookstore simply to pretend to be a cultured person and to woo my mom."

"What is Uncle doing now?"

"I usually do some investing, and when tourism is booming, I help my mom manage a bed and breakfast."

Jiang Yuan said earnestly, "But most of the time I'm either fishing in the wild or on my way to fish in the wild."

Thanks to Jiang Yuan's good fortune, his family has quite a lot of assets.

When Dad made money, he blindfolded Jiang Yuan and let him choose whatever Jiang Yuan chose. Dad would vote for Jiang Yuan however he wanted.

The result was that no matter how they invested, they made money. They invested in shares of many large companies, and the annual dividends were more than they could ever spend.

"That uncle really loves fishing."

Mencius scratched his head, ignoring the investment.

Her father also invests and trades stocks, but he always loses money, and the family shop has to cover the losses.

Sister Meng subconsciously assumed that all fathers were the same.

Losing money is also called investing —

Since not selling means no loss, I'll aggressively buy more shares—

Do you like fishing?

Mencius pondered and thought that if Jiang Yuan liked it, he could give him a good set of fishing equipment later.

"dislike."

Jiang Yuan walked to her room door, took out her room card, and opened the door.

"Fishing isn't really that interesting. My dad only likes it because he's always catching nothing. But I catch fish no matter what I do, and I'm exhausted just reeling in the line and using the landing net."

Mencius followed him into the room and nodded, "I see, then I understand."

It's a bit of a pity, as Mengzi had already planned what to give, but Jiang Yuan didn't like it at all.

But it's not a big problem.

She gave Jiang Yuan the same gaming equipment.

We went inside.

Mencius stretched while lying on Jiang Yuan's bed.

"It's just the two of us left."

Although she expressed regret, she had already overcome the sadness of parting.

As I reflected on it, a sense of joy welled up within me.

Meng Ziyi apologized to Sister Xue and Xiaotian Chaoyue.

It's certainly more lively with more people.

But when he has a chance to be alone with Jiang Yuan, actually—

Absolutely fantastic!

Don't blame the sisters for not being affectionate; it's just that having too many people affected their performance.

Meng Ziyi nuzzled against Jiang Yuan's pillow, and whether it was her imagination or not, she vaguely smelled Jiang Yuan's faint hair fragrance.

"Sister Meng, what two people?"

Just then, Jingjing walked in through the door with food. Hearing what Mengziyi said, she couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Yuan usually takes care of her meals on set.

But I was rushing to meet a deadline tonight and didn't have time to eat.

Jingjing finally got the job of preparing late-night snacks as an assistant.

"It's nothing."

Mencius looked up at Jingjing.

I usually find Jingjing quite cute, but now I find her a bit of an eyesore.

Meng Ziyi buried his head in the pillow again; it turned out she really was a bad woman.

"Sister Meng, dinner's ready." Jingjing waved the bag in her hand.

"Jingjing, you've come at just the right time. I'm starving."

Mencius discussed turning things around, and then, with a leap, he did something remarkable.

Snapped!

It failed.

"Don't bother, your waist looks like it's been neglected."

Jiang Yuan sat in the chair, filled a paper cup with water, and took a sip.

Seeing Mencius's actions, he couldn't help but smile.

"Who said that? I trained in physical fitness at school."

Mencius, unconvinced, did another somersault—

Snapped!

Failed again —

With two consecutive somersaults, the girl was hit in the face by strands of hair. Her hair was now spread all over her face.

"Alright, get up and eat."

Jiang Yuan placed Tian Xiwei's water glass next to Li Yitong's and Yang Chaoyue's water glasses, stood up, and pulled Meng Ziyi up.

Mencius followed Jiang Yuan's hand and helped the duck sit properly.

Jiang Yuan helped Sister Meng smooth her hair, revealing her delicate face.

Mencius Yi, who had finally shown his face, gave an awkward smile: "It does seem a bit difficult."

"Yes, it is a bit difficult."

Jiang Yuan arranged the chairs, opened the lid with Jingjing, and then patted the chair next to Meng Ziyi.

"Come sit down and eat."

Mencius advised him to sit properly.

Jiang Yuan turned on the TV and started playing music, intending to eat while watching.

"Brother Yuan, Sister Yu said she'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Jingjing quietly reported on her contact with Xiaoyu.

"Sister Yu said she's going back to Xiamen to join the crew of 'The Left Ear'."

"Okay, fine."

Jiang Yuan nodded, and Xiao Yu decided to leave if he didn't want to stay a few more days.

Anyway, I've spent a few days with Chaoyue.

Ring ring ring!

A video popped up on Jiang Yuan's phone.

Mencius leaned closer and looked over: "It's Xiao Tian. I wonder if he's gotten home yet."

Tian Xiwei boarded the plane in the afternoon.

Jiang Yuan and the others returned to the film set to shoot the evening's scenes.

Within a few hours, Tian Xiwei's plane had landed in Chongqing.

She called Jiang Yuanmeng Ziyi, who was on set, to let her know she was safe, and her father came to pick her up.

"It should be."

Xiao Tian is calling again now, so he must have already taken a bus to Tongliang.

Jiang Yuan answered the video call and saw Tian Xiwei's younger sister, Xiao He, holding her face and staring at the video.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan and the others, they quickly waved.

"Good evening, brother."

The little girl kept greeting Jiang Yuan, and didn't forget to discuss the peace between Mengzi and Jingjing.

"Hello, Sister Meng and Sister Jing."

Xiao He's reduplicated words sound incredibly cute in her childlike voice.

Mencius Yihe and Jingjing were both moved and greeted the little girl: "Xiaohe, you've become even cuter."

"Hehe, the older sisters are the best."

Xiaohe smiled happily, not forgetting to tease her sister, "Unlike that devil Tian, who always says Xiaohe has gotten fatter and her face is rounder when he sees her."

"Tian the Great Demon's face is the roundest!"

Xiao He was pouting, still hoping to get Jiang Yuan's support, "Right, Brother Yuan?"

Jiang Yuan was amused by the little girl and was about to speak when he realized that Xiao He's face was being pinched by two hands.

"Tian Xihe".

Tian Xiwei appeared behind Xiao He, and said with a forced smile, "I'm back now, and you still dare to call me a demon? I'll show you what a demon I am today."

Xiao He's chubby little face was instantly rubbed and kneaded by Tian Xi.

"Xiao He was wrong, please let Xiao He off the hook, big sister."

In the video, Xiaohe looks up and begs for mercy.

The next moment, the little girl suddenly remembered that there was a savior and hurriedly said to the video, "Brother Yuan, help! That devil Tian is going to strangle Xiao He!"

Mencius and the other man couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Yuan spoke up to stop Tian Xiwei: "Alright, Xiao Tian."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Tian Xiwei obediently released her sister's face, her originally energetic voice now tinged with coquettishness: "Jiang Yuan, it was that little brat who slandered me, I'm not a devil."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He frowned at Jiang Yuan, her lips turning down.

She seemed to be saying she was lying and that her brother shouldn't believe her.

As it turned out, Xiaohe forgot that the video could see her side of the camera.

Tian Xiwei, who was behind her, could clearly see her younger sister's expression.

He turned his palm into a fist and used his spinning technique on Xiao He's little head.

Xiao He quickly covered her head, pleading, "Big sister, please let Xiao He go."

"Now you know I'm the older sister?"

Tian Xi said with a hint of relief, "Your brother is on the other side of the camera, so I'm going to teach you a lesson today: distant water can't quench a nearby fire!"

"Brother! Help me!" Xiao He cried out loudly in her childish voice.

Jiang Yuan merely frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Tian Xiwei quickly released Xiao He and stuck out her tongue: "It's not my fault, it's all because the little brat is so annoying."

Jiang Yuan shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Tian Xiwei was just teasing Xiao He; she wasn't using much force.

In his view, the two sisters had a very good relationship, and Tian Xiwei loved Xiao He, her younger sister who was a generation younger than her.

"I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm going to be in first grade soon."

Xiao He blinked and looked at Jiang Yuan in the video, then whispered.

"Yes, Xiaohe is the best." Jiang Yuan nodded encouragingly.

"Jiang Yuan, just spoil her then." Tian Xi waved her hand helplessly.

Jiang Yuan asked her with amusement, "Aren't you tired? You've been on the bus for so long today, what time did you get home?"

I got home at 11 p.m. I wasn't too tired.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's concern, Tian Xiwei pressed her hand against her cheek and looked at Jiang Yuan with longing: "More than being tired, I actually want to—"

Tian Xi glanced at Meng Ziyi beside her, swallowing back what she wanted to say: "I miss you."

He then pinched Xiao He's cheek, both to make amends for what he said and to show his affection: "Actually, I miss Xiao He more."

"She knew I was coming back, so she hasn't slept at all. Now she's come to my room and wants to sleep with me."

After finishing her phone call with Tian Xiwei.

We've finished eating.

Mencius stretched his slender waist.

Ring ring ring!

Jiang Yuan received another video call.

Mencius asked in surprise, "Does Xiao Tian have something else to say?"

"My mom's phone call."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Meng Ziyi immediately straightened his back, raised his head, and nervously placed his hands on his thighs, sitting upright.

"It's not like we haven't seen this before, Sister Meng, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Yuan glanced at her amusedly.

During the months he was filming on set, he kept in touch with his parents, and several girls appeared on screen.

Mencius pursed his lips and remained silent.

Can they be the same? Before, I would meet her as a colleague on set, wearing costumes.

We're in a hotel now!

Mencius suggested that the light shine on Jingjing, and Jingjing made her feel slightly relaxed.

But deep down, a strong thought inexplicably arose within me.

I hope Jingjing isn't here, only she is.

So that the aunt would feel that she was the most special one among them.

Jingjing thought that Sister Meng was looking at her because she was nervous, so she whispered, "Sister Meng, relax, Auntie is a very nice person."

Mencius nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuan had already connected to the video call. On the video was a gentle and elegant middle-aged woman with fine lines around her eyes. She had a kind face and a calming aura. This was Jiang Yuan's mother, Deng Ning.

His mother lost both her parents when she was young and lived with his maternal great-grandfather, Changtian.

I suffered a lot as a child, but I didn't complain or blame others. Instead, I was kind and peaceful.

Anyone who sees her will know that she and Jiang Yuan are mother and son.

This was how it was when Mencius first met Deng Ning.

If Meng Jie were to say something different, she feels she would be biased towards Jiang Yuan.

In Sister Meng's eyes, Jiang Yuan was less about being approachable and more about constantly exuding sweetness.

He makes you want to hug him, be close to him, and love him dearly.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep so late? Are you missing your son?"

Jiang Yuan laughed, thinking that her mother missed her.

The result was the next moment.

Then Deng Ning asked sternly, "Xiao Yuan, have you been doing drugs?"

Jiang Yuan:?
