156. A Battle On The Internet
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
Chen Mama took pity on Qi Leâan.
The child had lost his parents at such a young age and was treated badly by his relatives. It took him a long time to become a little famous, but he was framed by that bastard Jiang Shan just because of his family business.
Yes, Chen Mama felt that Qi Leâanâs banning had something to do with Jiang Shan and his Glory Corporation.
Her heart was overflowing with pity and pain.
Mr. Chen had evaded the crucial point and told her something about it, so she understood that Leâanâs future in China was not promising, so it was better for him to go abroad to study. If another Hollywood director was asking him to shoot, then returning to the domestic market wouldnât be a dream to him at all.
Chen Mama thought about it again. Qi Leâan had not been living a good life for a few days, and he couldnât make much money by being an actor. How could he pay the tuition fee?
Back then, when Chen Shan went abroad to study, he spent money like water. She didnât want Qi Leâan to live frugally and suffer outside. But she was also afraid that Leâan wouldnât accept it if she gave him a lot, so she gave him one million yuan on the debit card finally.
âThis money is an investment from your godmother! I lost when I invested in Chen Shan back then. You canât let me lose money again this time! âChen Mama said casually, afraid that Qi Leâan wouldnât accept it.
The money Qi Leâan had now was more than enough to cover his expenses. He didnât need to take the money from Chen Mama.
However, when he saw Chen Mamaâs nervous expression, Qi Leâan couldnât bear to refuse her, so he took the bank card.
Sure enough, Chen Mama secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, âIâll go to visit you with your sister when she grows up a little! Leâan, you must treat us well then!â
âThatâs for sure⦠And I will come back during the winter and summer holidays!â Qi Leâan said.
âYes, yes, yes,â Chen Mama was overjoyed when she heard that he would be back.
âOkay,â Qi Leâan finally agreed and smiled at Chen Mama.
Chen Mama was overjoyed. She clapped her hands and said, âI bought you some clothes when I went shopping with my sisters a few days ago. Oh! I nearly forgot it! Just wait, Iâll go and get it for you!â
As she said this, Chen Mama put his sister into Qi Leâanâs hands and went upstairs to get the clothes.
Qi Leâan and Chen Shanâs sister looked at each other while the baby sister blew a bubble in her nose.
He couldnât help laughing and whispering, âYouâll be a real beauty when you grow up.â
He didnât know if this little sister could understand him, but she giggled. When Chen Mama took the clothes downstairs, she saw this sweet scene.
The clothes Chen Mama bought were very fitting, and they looked like fashionable new designs. Qi Leâan could smell a faint scent of laundry detergent when he put it on. Chen Mama had already washed it for him.
There were five or six sets of clothes and only one of them was a little bit. Chen Mama saw it and asked. âHave you lost weight, Leâan? Leave these trousers here, and I will have the tailor adjust the size for you. Iâll ask Chen Shan to send it to you another day.â
Chen Shan, who was going downstairs, happened to hear it and said, âHe hasnât lost any weight. Itâs just you bought the wrong size.â
Chen Mama, âShut up or Iâll beat you upâ¦â
However, Chen Shan immediately praised the pile of clothes. âThese clothes are very nice. Your taste is getting better.â
Chen Mama was happy at first, but then she thought that something was wrong. She immediately raised her hand and tried to hit Chen Shan, but he just laughed and got away.
Qi Leâanâs arrival relieved Chen Shanâs severe atmosphere. His younger sister walked around and finally reached Chen Shanâs arms. Chen Shan was cock-a-hoop and he didnât want to let go of her when he saw Qi Leâan out.
In the end, it was Chen Mama who said that the baby sister would catch a cold at night before he gave his sister to Aunt Song reluctantly.
To avoid suspicion, Wei Changfeng parked the car at the gate of the community. Qi Leâan didnât let Chen Mama out, so he was accompanied only by Chen Shan.
After leaving for a while, Chen Shan asked, âDid my mom give you money?â
Qi Leâan nodded obediently.
Chen Shan added, âI prepared some money for you too, but since she had given money to you, Iâll spend it myself.â
Qi Leâan, ââ¦â
âTake good care of yourself when youâre outside. Wei Changfeng⦠Donât put up with Wei Sama if he bullies you. You can always count on me whenever you need.â
Qi Leâan didnât know whether to laugh or cry, âIâm not leaving tomorrow. Besides, Wei Sama is very good to me.â
The two of them walked to the gate of the community. Qi Leâan looked up and saw Wei Changfeng waiting for him under the street lights. Wei Changfeng smiled at him from a distance and opened his arms in a gesture of embrace.
Qi Leâan looked at Chen Shan and Chen Shan snorted, âIsnât he afraid of being photographed?â
âIâve been banned already. Whatâs the point of photographing us?â Qi Leâan ran over happily and hugged his Wei Sama.
Wei Changfeng rubbed against him before letting him get away from his embrace.
Chen Shan didnât go forward and Qi Leâan made a gesture of goodbye to him from a distance. Chen Shan also waved his hand handsomely and then turned to go home.
When Wei Changfeng and Qi Leâan got into the car, Chen Shanâs phone rang. He took it out to read the message and smiled unconsciously.
There were thousands of families in this world and every family has its own story. It was a long night, and the story of the joys and sorrows had just begun.
â¦â¦
Wei Changfeng, who just returned home, was a little happy. Qi Leâan guessed that he had encountered something special. He asked him and knew that his teacher had got a promotion in the school.
Wei Changfeng hugged Qi Leâan and said, âSo we can ask him to write a recommendation letter for you.â
Qi Leâan nestled in Wei Changfengâs arms and said, âYou spend a few days with him just to get a recommendation letter?â
Wei Changfeng pinched Qi Leâanâs nose and said seriously, âHow is that possible? I did it for my wife.â
Qi Leâan couldnât help laughing.
To coax his teacher to write a recommendation letter for his âwifeâ, Wei Changfeng went out early and returned late in the days following. Qi Leâan was also at ease. He studied English and looked for information about universities at home, and finally settled his choice on a few schools.
Among them, he wanted to go to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Not only was it one of the top three film academies in the United States and had produced the most Academy Award winners, but it was also the Alma Mater of Wei Changfeng.
Ang Lee, Martin Scorsese, and some other celebrities were all alumni of this school.
When he came back in the evening, Qi Leâan asked Wei Changfeng and learned that Wei Changfeng was studying movies rather than acting at Tisch. He was confused for a while, but Wei Changfeng smiled and said that in fact, there were performing study courses and acting courses in film science subject and Qi Leâan could apply for it if he liked.
Qi Leâan could not help but be tempted, that was the place where Wei Changfeng had lived for four years. He felt happy when he thought of being an alumnus of Wei Changfeng.
Besides, Wei Changfeng added, âMy teacher has always regretted that I didnât continue to study. If youâre going to Tisch, we can be classmates in the future.â
At that moment, Qi Leâan ruled out the other schools.
On the weekend, Wei Changfeng led Qi Leâan to meet his teacher. Before he went out, Qi Leâan was very nervous. He was worried that his English was not good enough and that the teacher would look down on him. In the end, Wei Changfeng touched his head and asked him to be at ease before he walked out of the door.
The place where they met was a Sichuan food restaurant, which was very noisy and had special local characteristics.
Wei Changfeng booked a private room and Qi Leâan ordered a variety of dishes. When they arrived at the restaurant, Professor Aiden arrived as they expected.
This was the first time Qi Leâan met Wei Changfengâs teacher. He was a white-bearded old man with blue eyes. There was a playfulness in his bright blue eyes that didnât match his age. Wei Changfeng introduced to Professor Aiden in English, âThis is my lover.â
Qi Leâan understood this sentence and instantly blushed.
The old man whistled and said, âSo cool!!â, and came over to hug Qi Leâan.
They spoke in English throughout the meal. Qi Leâan understood only part of it. In order not to reveal his timidity, he had to smile all the time. During this period, Professor Aiden also asked Qi Leâan a few routine questions, and Qi Leâan stammered to answer him.
The old man was eating the pork lungs in chili sauce and boiled fish, which was so spicy that he had to stick out his tongue and drink tea to relieve the spiciness. But then he kept eating, and he kept saying it was delicious
Finally, the old man packed the spicy beef back with satisfaction and said to Qi Leâan, âWelcome to Tisch. Iâll be right there waiting for you.â
Qi Leâan was surprised and could only say thank you.
When he got home and asked Wei Changfeng, he found out that Professor Aiden had promised to write a recommendation letter for Qi Leâan. With Professor Aidenâs recommendation, Qi Leâan only needed to solve the language problem.
Qi Leâan jumped happily on the bed. Studying abroad was an exciting thing for him at last.
Wei Changfeng looked at Qi Leâan who was so excited and smiled, âWe can go over there to play after I finish my domestic affairs.â
Qi Leâan nodded. He knew that admission to the preparatory courses at New York University was in January and August. Now that he couldnât catch up with it in August, it would be perfect for him to attend the course in January.
Before this excitement was over, Chen Shanâs phone call made him excited again.
âLeâan! The video was already posted online! Go and have a look!â
Qi Leâan quickly picked up his mobile phone and opened his Weibo. He saw that #Li Zheyuâs Restaurant Abuse# had already been on the topic ranking list, and the word âLi Zheyuâ had also successfully been on the hot search list. Qi Leâan clicked on it and found that many of the bloggers with a lot of fans were reposting a video.
Wei Changfeng leaned over to watch it, and he was stunned for a moment. He reached out to open the video on Qi Leâanâs phone.
Qi Leâan suddenly felt bad!
Sure enough, Wei Changfeng frowned within seconds after he saw the video. The video was professionally edited and Qi Leâan was completely invisible. Li Zheyuâs words were silenced so that ordinary viewers couldnât tell who he was arguing with.
The video highlighted Li Zheyu scolding the restaurant girl and beating the person who was recording the video. The counterattack that Qi Leâan made was directly cut off. The whole video was so well-edited that it was just enough to make anyone who watched it angry.
However, Wei Changfeng still could tell that the other person involved was Qi Leâan. He waited until the two-minute video was over and asked, âWhatâs going on?â
Wei Changfeng frowned, and he looked serious and angry. Qi Leâan had rarely seen him like this. He panicked and swallowed his saliva.
âWei Sama, listen to me!â
Wei Changfeng snorted and then replayed the video to pause the scene on the waitress.
âIsnât this He Xin? Iâll let you explain.â
âOh, no! â Qi Leâan thought inwardly. I
