MTL - They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes-Chapter 3 bell

"Little Orange." Luo Zhi replied before she hung up, "I got into trouble, Dad will break my leg."

The other end of the phone was silent, and no one answered.

"Since you are both in the company, I will go home first."

Luo Zhi's tone was relaxed, he raised his hand and dialed the bell hanging in front of the car: "You help me keep an eye on it, I'll take a few changes of clothes and leave..."

Luo Orange interrupted him on the other side of the phone: "...So the second brother's injury was really caused by you?"

Luo Zhi paused for a while.

He still held the phone in one hand, lowered his gaze, and did not answer immediately.

"Second brother is seriously injured, and his head is covered with gauze. No matter how I ask him, he won't say anything." Luo Cheng's tone was colder than before, "So you really did it."

"Why do you always do this?"

Luo Cheng asked: "Is it short of money again, or is something at home that makes you dissatisfied again?"

Luo Zhi raised his head and leaned back on the seat.

He was silent for a while before smiling: "It's not at all, little sister, it was me and Jian Huaiyi who had a private conflict."

"I didn't agree on a few words. I was on impulse." Luo Zhi let go of the bell, "Please help me and Dad. Don't you want the script that you recently bid for? I'll buy it for you."

Luo Cheng went to an art school, and the group's final assignment was missing a good script.

Just two days ago, Luo Cheng was so worried that he couldn't sleep, and in the middle of the night, he sent a circle of friends everywhere to ask for help.

Luo Zhi didn't tell her that he had secretly asked someone to buy the script.

Although the original script was not a hit, it was of high quality, and it was adapted by a well-known senior screenwriter himself, which almost emptied the little money he had saved.

Luo Zhi bought the script, watched it for one night, and was so moved that he used up two whole packs of paper.

Anyway, it is my own film and television company, near the water tower. He was going to set up a relatively formal team directly, and then invite a few professional teachers to guide him and shoot a web drama for Luo Cheng and her classmates.

Luo Zhi has been busy with this matter these days.

He was going to give Luo Cheng a surprise, and kept the matter so tightly that few people in the entire company knew about it.

...Although now is not the right time in his plan at all, but it doesn't seem to care so much.

"Little sister." Luo Zhi said, "Actually—"

On the other end of the phone, Luo Orange just said in a low voice, "It's time for Dad to break your leg."

…

The second half of the sentence was drowned out by tinnitus.

It was a sound Luo Zhi had never heard before. It was like the roar of a train or some kind of huge vehicle. When it whistled and rumbled past, even the railroad tracks and the dull and sticky air trembled slightly.

Luo Zhi raised his hand, covered his ear, and switched the phone to one side.

Luo Cheng is well-bred, well-behaved and docile, whoever sees her will praise a sensible and caring little girl, and she has never blushed or made a loud noise with anyone.

Even when he said this, his voice was low and soft, light and soft.

But it was like a chill that could not be wiped clean.

The kind of hateful and cruel words that a little girl who has never seen a sinister heart and was carefully protected to grow up to the most hated person can give.

"Little Orange." Luo Zhi heard his own voice, "Do you know what this sentence means?"

"I used to think that my father was too strict with you, but I didn't expect you to do this...to do such an excessive thing to the second brother. "

Luo Orange said in a low voice: "If only this can make you reflect, and you will not be in trouble for a few days after Ansheng, and you will no longer be saddened by your mother, and you should be given a decent punishment..."

Luo Zhi gave a soft "Oh".

He subconsciously raised his hand, and his fingertips rubbed the scar on the corner of his lip back and forth.

Because there was no treatment at all, the place was clearly red and swollen, and the slightest touch caused a burning pain.

Luo Zhi smiled apologetically: "No way."

Luo Cheng was talking on the other end, her voice was lower than usual, and her tone was a little anxious, as if she never thought she would blurt out such an impolite remark.

And these reasons that are constantly listed can just prove Luo Zhi's bad deeds and crimes.

Luo Zhi was not a good person, and the whole family was saddened by the tossing, so he was only punished by his father's family law, which was actually very tolerant.

Hearing Luo Zhi's answer, Luo Cheng's voice also stopped without warning.

"No way." Luo Zhi fastened his seat belt. "It hurts a lot. I'm most afraid of it."

Luo Cheng gritted his teeth: "Then you—"

Probably because the previous words were too rude, this time she restrained herself and did not say any more.

But it is not difficult to guess the following words.

"Then when you hurt the second brother, why didn't you think that the second brother would hurt."

"Then why do you never do the right thing, always make trouble, why do you have to make everyone uncomfortable."

"Then why can't you disappear far away, why can't you disturb us less, what else do you want..."

In fact, Luo Zhi didn't listen to each of these words.

He was already familiar with these things, so even if Luo Cheng only said two words this time, they still spontaneously and consciously jumped out of his memory clearly and thoughtfully filled out the rest of the content.

Luo Cheng did not continue to speak, and Luo Zhi was not in a hurry to speak.

The repressed silence on the phone made the sound of the electric current become harsh and noisy, like the damp fine sand being stuffed into the ears one by one, hard against the eardrum, and rustled by the breath.

Luo Zhi sighed softly and started the car: "What do you have to do with me?"

"…"

Luo Cheng paused before answering: "Dad wants you to come and discuss the company's power distribution with the second brother..."

"Huaisheng Entertainment?" Luo Zhi said, "Little sister, this is my company."

Although it can be regarded as the Luo family's industry, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy when it came into his hands.

During the two years when his ears recovered the best, Luo Zhi couldn't hold back his itch, picked up a guitar he hadn't touched for many years, and indeed became a popular singer for a while.

This is also an important evidence of "not doing a proper job" in the eyes of the Luo family.

Luo Zhi thinks now, but it is not the prejudice of the Luo family - after all, his traffic is only black and not red, and he is chased and sent threatening letters all the way. A small entertainment company, but its reputation is not very good.

The chairman of this company is named Luo Chengxiu, but in fact Luo Zhi has always been in charge. The name "Huaisheng Entertainment" was also decided by him.

There was no help from the Luo family, no money from the Luo family, and no shares or positions in Jian Huaiyi.

...but now it looks like it's almost there.

Luo Zhi raised his hand and gently rang the bell that had long stopped ringing.

"I guess."

Luo Zhi said: "Little sister, you want to enter the entertainment industry. Mr. Luo's condition is that he can rest assured unless he joins his own company and Jian Huaiyi takes over?"

The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

The person on the opposite side seemed to be suddenly pierced, not knowing how to answer, and subconsciously held his breath.

After a long while, Luo Orange finally asked him back: "How can you be called Mr. Luo? Luo Zhi, that's our father..."

"Looks like I guessed it right." Luo Zhi smiled, "Okay, give it to him."

Luo Orange was stunned on the opposite side of the phone.

She didn't believe Luo Zhi would say such a thing at all, and after hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "What tricks are you playing?"

"It's nothing." Luo Zhi's tone was very soft, "It's not very important, I'll give it to you if you want."

He really has no interest in doing business and wants to start the company well, just because Luo Cheng has dreamed of being an actor since he was a child.

In a place where fish and dragons are mixed, if there is no point of reliance, clean and well-behaved girls are too eye-catching...

Luo Zhi leaned back and looked up at the bell.

He put the phone back to his left ear.

The hearing in that ear without the hearing aid is weaker than that of ordinary people, and now the tinnitus is faint again, and only some movement can be heard vaguely.

He listened to the girl's sweet and crisp voice.

While distracted, the voice vaguely became more childish and soft, like a little girl who just learned to walk.

He refused to let him go out without saying anything, sobbed and pulled the corner of his clothes, stumbled step by step, hiding behind him like a little crying bag.

"Second brother, you are not allowed to leave, I am afraid!"

"Second brother, as soon as I shake the bell, you will come immediately. I will count down to three numbers."

"Someone bullies me, you help me beat him, second brother..."

…

I don't know when, that voice faded away, and it also faded away from his trust and reliance on him.

Later, even the title "Second Brother" became Jian Huaiyi.

The bell was thrown in the utility room, and a thick layer of rust was born, and it stopped ringing early.

Luo Cheng was about to go to college, and turned it over when he was packing.

She can't remember where this thing came from, and she is going to ask people to take it away with other useless things, take it out and throw it away.

Luo Zhi picked up the bell, polished it bit by bit to clean the rust, and hung it on the car.

Luo Zhi bent his index finger and tapped the microphone twice.

The muffled voice in the ear suddenly stopped.

"When you grow up, anyone can protect you."

Luo Zhi said warmly, "Since you believe in Jian Huaiyi more, then leave it to him."

"Forget it today." Luo Zhi said, "I will go to the company tomorrow to hand over to him."

Luo Orange was silent for a few seconds, then whispered to him: "Luo Zhi..."

Luo Zhi took off the bell and put it in the storage box.

He didn't let the call last any longer, and after saying this, he hung up.
