Mrs. Ye was fuming mad and roared, "Don't tell me you'll wait until your mother is dead before you come back?!" With that, she ended the call.
During his lunch break, Ye Xiaotian ultimately still returned.
Having not seen him for many days, Mrs. Ye took a closer look and realized that her son was in such a haggard state. Seeing that he had grown much thinner, her heart ached for him terribly.
"Son, have you not been eating properly, why have you become so thin?"
"I'm fine. Why did you ask me to come back?" Ye Xiaotian said irritatedly."There are a lot of things I have to handle at the company."
"Today, I saw Mo Li's mother when I came back from the hospital and we bickered a little. Xiaotian, you can't possibly not recover from this setback. You still have a long road ahead. Find a nice woman and lead a good life going forward."
Ye Xiaotian was annoyed after hearing her words."You called me back just to tell me this?"
"Xiaotian... Mother doesn't have much time left anymore. Can't you let your mother rest in peace next time?"
"You've always wanted me to do this and that for you..." he answered weakly."But have you thought about how it is for me in my shoes? Stop using your love to coerce me. I've gotten divorced and my child is dead. Mother, do you still want to torture me?"
"How am I torturing you? Do you think I wanted to see Nini die?"
Ye Xiaotian was gasping agitatedly as he snarled, "Stop talking about this incident! In the future, don't interfere in my affairs anymore. Just lead the rest of your life well. As for mine, it's my life, so don't interfere with it!"
Mrs. Ye was alarmed by his words."Do you have a grudge against Mother?"
Ye Xiaotian frowned and responded, "This is what I should ask you. Mother, do you have a grudge against me? Is that why you're torturing me non-stop? You can't wait to torture me to death, because only then will you be happy, right? Mother, now that my family is all broken up, are you happy?"
Mrs. Ye did not say a word. After a minute of exchanging glances with her son, she finally replied, "Why would I be happy? I want you to lead a good life too and continue the family line of the Ye family. Only then will people not talk behind your back saying you have no son. Am I wrong for wanting this?"
"Alright, I don't want to talk about this issue anymore. My head hurts."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Mrs. Ye started to weep bitterly."Mother just got discharged, can't you stay to keep me company for a while longer?"
"There are too many things I have to handle at the company."
Even as his words landed, he was already out the door.
Mrs. Ye sat there, her eyes full of pain. Seeing how her son was treating her, Mrs. Ye found herself unsure about how things came to this state.
—
Even during the New Year, there was no holiday for the production unit.
They had a tight schedule to follow and for each day that filming was delayed, the production fee would be raised by more than ten thousand dollars.
As the director, Jing Tian did not dare to be careless about the filming process at all.
The production team worked absolutely diligently and meticulously.
All the actors and staff members of the production team were not allowed to take leave if there was nothing terribly important. In the production team, no matter how big of a shot one was, their foremost role was an actor.
Lin Mingxi took some free time to visit the production unit during the New Year and had a meal with the director and casts. Everyone was curious about An Xiaoning's issue, so she told them truthfully that because An Xiaoning was busy, she could not come to the production unit for a period of time.
Everyone said that it was okay and that as long as she was well and fine, it didn't matter.
On this day, there was filming at night and everyone had to stay up'til three to four in the morning. Everyone could barely keep their eyes open.
When they were removing their makeup, Jing Tian's assistant carried a pack of supper to Fang Erlan's dressing table and remarked, "Brother told me to send this to you."
"Thank him for me. Next time, it'll be my treat."
"I'll definitely tell him, " the assistant answered before leaving the makeup room.
After having her makeup removed completely, Fang Erlan had started enjoying her supper when she heard Xiao Li in one corner talking to Yan Ge.
"Brother, do you want supper? I'll go and buy for you."
"It's okay, eating at night will make me gain weight easily. If every bite of supper is full of fatty meat, I may look fatter on camera tomorrow. It'll look hideous." Yan Ge's cold voice revealed that he absolutely did not want to eat.
The chopsticks in Fang Erlan's hand paused for a moment and, all of a sudden, she did not feel like eating anymore...
Darting a bitter glance at Yan Ge, she abruptly stood up and passed the supper to her assistant Xiao Yue."You can have it."
"Sister, you're not eating anymore?"
"No... not eating."
For a glutton like her who was very hungry at the present moment, saying these words took a lot of courage. She gulped down her saliva, resisting her urge to eat.
"Then, Sis, I'll have it, okay? I'm starving."
Xiao Yue herself was very hungry and did not stand on ceremony as she devoured the food.
Fang Erlan nodded and watched as she finished all the food. It was a torturing sight for her.
After leaving the makeup room, she had one hand on her growling stomach and felt light-headed. It was fortunate that she had no afternoon filming, so she could have a good sleep.
When she returned to her room, she started regretting not finishing that bowl of supper just now. She should have given Xiao Yue some money for her to buy another bowl of supper.
After cleaning herself up, she lay on the bed in her pajamas. Yet, her hunger prevented her from falling asleep.
Fang Erlan felt a muffled sense of regret. Why did she have to pretend as if she could go without supper? Yan Ge was afraid of getting fat from supper, but why did she have to ensure that she herself would be on par with him?
It was merely so that she would not be despised by others.
Fang Erlan opened her mouth and took in a few mouthfuls of air. The more she thought about food, the hungrier she was. It was absolutely frustrating.
After tossing and turning on the bed, then shaking and swaying her limbs, she felt even hungrier than before.
After some thought, she decided she simply could not hold it in anymore. She put on her clothes, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask, then got ready to look for food.
When the elevator came, Yan Ge came out from it with a packet of supper in hand.
Fang Erlan's gaze landed on the packet of food in his hands and asked, "Didn't you not eat supper because you were scared of getting fat?"
"I changed my mind again. Do you want to join me?"
Fang Erlan wanted to have integrity and reply with guts, "It's okay!"
But in reality, she replied, "I see you've bought quite a lot and won't be able to finish it by yourself anyway. I shall be kind and help you with it, then."
Yan Ge simply continued walking ahead and ignored her words while Fang Erlan chased after him, following him to his room.
The room was icy cold, so she took the initiative to turn on the heater.
After throwing her mask and sunglasses onto the sofa, she sat on the seat opposite him.
There were clay-pot noodles, lamb skewers, and beer.
"Eating lamb skewers will make you gain weight easier than eating noodles..." Fang Erlan was placed in an internal struggle. Should she eat it or not?
"Then, you eat the clay-pot noodles. Leave the lamb skewers for me. I still think it's not enough, " he responded with a completely expressionless face.
She chuckled as she replied, "No, I want to eat it too."
With that, she took a lamb skewer, opened a can of beer, and started to feast.
"Why do you look rather upset?"
Yan Ge's expression remained mild."You've seen wrongly."
"Where did you buy these lamb skewers? There are a few shops that sell them downstairs, one of them sells them rather expensively and they don't even taste good. This one that you bought is quite good. It smells great..."
"Eat your food, don't ask so many questions."
"..."
Fang Erlan ate a bowl of clay-pot noodles, some lamb skewers, and drank a few cans of beer.
She was rather stuffed and lay down on the sofa after her meal, not wanting to move an inch.
