Chapter 17, The Prospective Mother-in-Law Comes to the Door?

Xia Guiying came by bus!

When I arrived at the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama, it was already 5:30 pm. The students had just finished class, and young men and women were laughing and joking as they ran out of the main teaching building.

One of the girls ran the fastest.

She ran to the door, looked left and right, and perhaps because she didn't see the person she was looking for, her eyes were full of disappointment.

Seeing the girl turn around, wanting to go back to her dormitory, Xia Guiying smiled and called out to her.

Hello, young lady!

I'm looking for someone at the Central Academy of Drama. Could you please call them for me?

"sure!"

Zhu Yuanyuan was kind-hearted by nature. Even if she encountered a beggar on the street, she would buy her two steamed buns. Now, this elegant woman was only asking her to help call someone.

"The person I'm looking for is named Jiang Nan. He was a student in the 93 undergraduate class of the Performing Arts Department. His pager number is 127..."

"Who are you?"

Seeing that the person in front of her was looking for Jiangnan, Zhu Yuanyuan smiled and asked a question before she could finish speaking.

"I'm the mother of a friend from Jiangnan. I've come here to talk to him about something."

As a soprano singer in the coal mine art troupe, Xia Guiying is tall and has a gentle temperament. Just by speaking, she gives people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

"hey-hey…"

Upon seeing that it was the mother of a friend from Jiangnan, Zhu Yuanyuan's enthusiasm immediately flared up, and she reached out to grab Xia Guiying, saying:

Hello, Auntie!

Jiangnan is my classmate. He went out to act with our teacher, Mr. Gao. It seems he went to the 101 Middle School area. He should be back soon.

  

"How about... you come with me to the cafeteria for dinner, and then we wait for him together?"

"I see..."

Xia Guiying hesitated.

She didn't mean anything by it; she just wanted to come and see Jiangnan and see what kind of boy her daughter, Wang Fei, had taken a fancy to.

In just one day, Wang Fei made 10 pagers to Jiangnan using a landline in Beijing.

Such passionate behavior was something she had only done recently, when she and Dou Wei were having a huge fight.

But now, Jiangnan is gone.

Just as she was hesitating, Xia Guiying suddenly heard someone talking at the entrance of the alley.

...

"Haha, junior brother!"

You're such a great driver. It would take me at least an hour to drive all the way from Taipei 101 Middle School.

You'll arrive at your destination in 40 minutes.

Okay, fine!

Give me your ID card, and I'll use my connections to get you a driver's license. That way, you can help drive when our film crew moves between locations.

"Hehe... Thanks, senior brother!" Jiang Nan didn't stand on ceremony and took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Wen.

In 1993, getting a driver's license in Beijing was no easy task. The strict identity requirement alone would eliminate half of the applicants.

Secondly, the tuition fees are high. In an era where the average monthly salary is less than 300 yuan, the cost of getting a driver's license exceeds 2000 yuan, which eliminates half of the potential applicants.

However, relationships are different.

For example, a movie star like Jiang Wen, who starred in "Hibiscus Town," can sometimes get things done with just a phone call, and the other party is always delighted...

"Superstar Jiang Wen asked me for help!"

At the entrance of Dongmianhua Hutong, Jiang Nan waved goodbye to Jiang Wen and headed towards the Central Academy of Drama.

As for teacher Gao Jingwen, he was kept by Jiang Wenqiang at the hotel rented by the "In the Heat of the Sun" crew so that he could teach Xia Yu how to act overnight.

Today, the crew of "In the Heat of the Sun" filmed two scenes.

Having seen the original film in his previous life and possessing rich life experience, Jiangnan basically passed it in one take, especially the first take, which gave Jiang Wen a pleasant surprise.

But Xia Yu, the lead actor... his performance was hard to describe. Facing Feng Xiaogang, who was already in a bad mood, he couldn't even deliver his lines.

"Jiangnan..."

"Jiangnan, this auntie is looking for you!"

As Jiang Nan arrived at the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama, he was wondering whether to have dinner at the Jingxiu Restaurant across the street when he saw Zhu Yuanyuan waving at him, skipping along.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Jiangnan."

Although he was certain he had never seen this woman before and that he had no relation to her, Jiang Nan still greeted her with a smile.

"You are Jiangnan?"

Xia Guiying carefully examined Jiang Nan twice, from head to toe and then from toe to head, before secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

So what if she's a little younger?!

The key is that he is tall, handsome, and has a scholarly air about him, unlike Dou Wei, who always makes him angry.

That day, Wang Fei was clearly at his house; she even went to his door, but he stubbornly refused to open it.

At that moment, I was so angry that my liver hurt!

"Yes, I am Jiangnan!"

Auntie, who are you?

"I'm Linlin's mother. Oh, by the way, Xiaofei's previous name was Xia Lin. She changed her name to her current name when she was 9 years old."

擦…

Jiangnan wanted to swear.

What's going on here?

Yesterday, she only had a minor disagreement with Wang Fei, the future queen of the Chinese music scene, but now, her mother has actually come knocking on her door.

However, despite his inner grumbling, Jiangnan, after his rebirth, was still very good at handling people. He pointed to Jingxiu Restaurant and said:

"Auntie, so you're Fei's mom!"

Haven't you had dinner yet?

"Come on, let me treat you to dinner. We can chat while we eat."

"No, no!"

Upon receiving Jiang Nan's invitation to dinner, Xia Guiying immediately declined, pulling an envelope from her pocket and saying:

"Auntie had something to do today, but she just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see you."

Now that I've seen the person, it's time for me to go.

After saying that, he slapped the envelope into Jiangnan's hand, turned around and left.

Watching her retreating figure, and glancing at the envelope in his hand, Jiangnan immediately wanted to chase after her. However, after only two steps, he saw a boy emerge from the alleyway. The boy first reached out and took Wang Fei's mother's arm, then turned to look at Jiangnan, opened his mouth, but then remained silent:

"Be nice to my sister. We're all happy that she broke up with that guy surnamed Dou."

...

"Hey, who is she?"

"What's in the envelope I gave you?"

The carefree Zhu Yuanyuan didn't care about appearances at all. She had been hiding at the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama, but when she came over, she nudged Jiang Nan hard with her elbow.

"A friend's mother!"

She heard I was going to university, so she came to give me some living expenses. Jiangnan touched the envelope and knew without even looking that there was about 1000 yuan inside.

"Boyfriend or girlfriend?"

At this moment, Li Naiwen and Tang Xu also ran out of the campus.

"Of course it's my girlfriend!"

My girlfriend is beautiful, 1.95 meters tall, and as strong as an ox. When she has nothing to do, she strolls around the streets with a pair of double-edged axes, and if she sees anyone she doesn't like, she immediately chops their head off.

"Ha ha…"

Before he could finish speaking in the Jiangnan dialect, the classmates burst into laughter.

Sometimes it's like that: the more serious your explanation, the less people believe you. But if you address the matter in a joking tone, they'll immediately know you're lying.

Just like now, Li Naiwen, Tang Xu, and Zhu Yuanyuan originally wanted to find out some gossip, but when they saw that Jiangnan had actually switched to storytelling, they all started to purse their lips.

This is the rude gesture of giving the middle finger, which is not popular now. If it were popular, these three people would probably do it exactly the same way.

"Have you eaten yet?" Jiangnan suddenly asked.

"No, we're just waiting for you to treat us!" Li Naiwen, Tang Xu, and Zhu Yuanyuan said in unison.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go eat. While we eat, I'll tell you how your first movie was filmed."

However, we've already made a deal.

"This meal is on you guys."
