Chapter 109 My requirements are already very low
Qin Yuhuan handed the phone to Li Xinyu and cheered up to go back to film, but she was really nervous. This nervousness made her seem to be dreaming back to that night when Qin Yusu (Qin's younger brother) called her and told her that her mother seemed to have a stomach upset and had been vomiting at home.
After each show, she would check her cell phone. An hour later, her aunt had not arrived yet, and instead several aunts called and said they couldn't find her father.
At twelve o'clock, Qin Yuhuan had just finished her morning scene. Fang Jinyao comforted Qin Yuhuan, "Maybe he went to buy groceries, or maybe he went for a walk. It's normal for an old man to leave his phone at home when it runs out of battery."
The cell phone suddenly vibrated violently, and the call number labeled "little cousin" kept jumping on the screen, just like Qin Yuhuan's heart at the moment. She didn't know what kind of courage she mustered to click to answer the call.
I don't know what my cousin said on the phone. Qin Yuhuan fell to the ground in a breath. Fang Jinyao didn't even have time to help her up. Tears fell unexpectedly. Qin Yuhuan's calm voice trembled, "My dad is gone... is that right?"
Hearing this, Fang Jinyao's eyebrows throbbed. She looked at Qin Yuhuan and said to the other end of the phone that she would rush back as soon as possible. After Qin Yuhuan hung up the phone, she said, "I'll go find Zhiying. Do you want to..."
"Can you shorten my scene?" Qin Yuhuan couldn't see Fang Jinyao's face clearly. There were only tears in her eyes. "Seven days, give me seven days. I want to go back to take care of my father's funeral. After the funeral, I will come back."
The play was already halfway through filming, like an arrow on a bowstring, with Ziyi backing her up, Qin Yuhuan could have quit the show, she had a legitimate reason, but she didn't have one. She just grabbed Fang Jinyao's wrist, pleading in her eyes, her whole body seemed to be broken: "Five days... three days is fine, the shortest funeral takes three days, sister Jinyao, help me, you can... you can tell others about my situation, it's okay."
"Qi Tian, I'll talk to Zhiying and move your scene to the back. Yuhuan, I'll go with you." Fang Jinyao handed the tissue to Qin Yuhuan and asked Li Xinyu to watch from the side while she went to Fang Zhiying to communicate with her.
The phone kept vibrating. Li Xinyu watched Qin Yuhuan crying and trying to control her emotions while communicating with everyone who called. Sun Er and the others heard the news and gathered around, asking Qin Yuhuan if she needed any help.
Qin Yuhuan just shook his head, stood up and bowed to everyone, "I'm sorry, I have to go back these few days, and I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."
"What's the big deal? It's just a matter of changing the order of filming. Yu Yu, you...you should accept my condolences." Sun Er didn't know what to say.
Fang Jinyao came out to block the greetings from many people for Qin Yuhuan. Qin Yuhuan had already boarded the bus back to Changping County without having lunch, and she was alone.
Fang Jinyao looked at the rear of the car gradually disappearing, hesitated for a moment, and then called Ziyi.
Ziyi was also on her way to Changping County at the moment, and was quite surprised to see Fang Jinyao's call, "How come Sister Fang has the time to call me?"
"Yu Huan's father...is gone."
The rest of the crew didn't know what this meant to Qin Yuhuan, but Ziyi and Fang Jinyao knew. Ziyi straightened her back in an instant and put away all the jokes, "Why is this happening?"
"I didn't hear the call clearly. Yu Huan was restless when she woke up this morning. She has been in a bad state since you left, so she wanted to call her father. It happened that her aunt went to see her father today, but she couldn't find him after going there several times."
Fang Jinyao felt as if the breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't breathe it out, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"We initially thought that the old man was out for a walk, his phone ran out of battery or something, but Yu Huan... seemed to have a premonition."
"At lunch time, her cousin called and said that the person had been found. It was a neighbor... The neighbor smelled something and called the police. The police came to pry open the door and found that the person was gone."
Ziyi took a deep breath, "Where's she?"
"There is only one ticket from Shancheng to Changping, and it's past the time today. I asked the driver to take Yu Huan back to Changping County. I originally wanted to go with her, but she... maybe she's too stubborn, or maybe it's something else."
Fang Jinyao recalled the courtesy and logic that Qin Yuhuan still maintained when dealing with other people. "Ziyi, if it's convenient for you, go ahead. If you can't make time..."
"I'll go." Ziyi made a prompt decision, "I'll contact her. What about the crew?"
"I helped her adjust her role. She doesn't want to stop acting. There may be some minor disturbances afterwards. I will handle it."
It seemed like many people in the crew came to comfort Qin Yuhuan, but sometimes... it was hard to say. Fang Jinyao still had to cheer up in case there was any negative news online about Qin Yuhuan "being passive and slacking off and acting like a big shot after getting the endorsement."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Fang. Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it. Keep in touch."
After hanging up the phone, Ziyi asked the driver to stop at the service station ahead and began to arrange the work, pushing off all the tasks that could be pushed off, or letting Zhao Fengzhuo take on them himself.
In this matter, Zhao Fengzhuo and Ziyu formed a united front and let Ziyi go without worry.
The scenery outside the car window passed by like a fast-movie movie, and Qin Yuhuan's soul seemed to have been suspended in mid-air since the beginning, unable to settle down, until Ziyi called.
"Xiaozi..." Qin Yuhuan still tried to pretend to be calm.
Ziyi was straightforward, "Qin Yuhuan, I'm at the Taicheng service station ahead. Ask the driver to turn over there. I have time, and I'll go home with you."
"You know." Qin Yuhuan didn't want to cry, but her tears kept falling.
The packages of paper in the car were empty. The driver looked through the rearview mirror several times. He still didn't know what was going on with his boss.
"I know. Don't be afraid. I'm here this time."
Ziyi's words were like a gentle stream of water. Qin Yuhuan couldn't control herself and broke down in the car, "Ziyi, I don't have a mom and a dad anymore."
"Why? My requirements are already very low. I just want him to be alive. If he wants money, I will give him money. I will answer every call from him no matter how reluctant I am. I will call him every week for several hours. I just want him to be alive so that I can... not be so pitiful. Why can't he even do this?"
Ziyi listened quietly to Qin Yuhuan's words. Since her rebirth, she thought that Qin Yuhuan was just having trouble with his career and his mother's affairs.
She helped Qin Yuhuan get rid of the deceptive agency so that she could have a good career development, and tried every means to make her happy, but she didn't expect that fate would play tricks on people like this, as if it couldn't bear to see Qin Yuhuan happy at all.
