Chapter 20 Relatives
At ten o'clock in the evening, the premiere ended perfectly.

The media and audiences who watched the film responded enthusiastically.

More importantly, at the end, many media turned their microphones to Shen Lang.

"Teacher Shen, I heard from Zhang Yixin that you served as the assistant director of the crew and gave him a lot of suggestions on his acting. Is that true?"

"This is the actor's own understanding of the script, I just played a guiding role!"

"Teacher Shen, how would you rate your transformation to the big screen this time?"

"Five points!"

"You seem to be more cheerful than before. Is it because you have a new place to put your feelings?"

"My emotions have always been placed somewhere, and that is work!"

"Teacher Shen..."

"Thank you friends from the media...my colleagues from the crew have been waiting for me for a long time!..."

……

When Shen Lang finally got rid of those reporters, everyone in the backstage had already prepared champagne.

With a "bang", the champagne spilled all over Shen Lang.

"Teacher Shen, Zhang Yixin is treating us tonight. Let's go to the bar and not leave until we are drunk!"

"Teacher Shen, when you went on stage, I was sweating for you. You performed so well!"

"Amazing! Anti-fraud sobering water! Teacher Shen, how did you come up with this? This will definitely be a hot topic on the search list tomorrow!"

……

Among the crowd, Jing Cheng smiled the happiest.

"Brother Shen is really capable. Compared to my pale words, your actions and charm are more likely to impress people! So amazing!"

Shen Lang came to his side and said solemnly: "Thank you, Jing Cheng!"

Although there were only five words, the sincerity in those words was clearly felt by everyone present.

"Oh~~~~"

"Oh~~~~~~"

Everyone made a good-natured "booing" sound, which made Jing Cheng so embarrassed that he hid behind Zhou Ye.

"Let's go to the bar!"

"Teacher Zhang is treating us..."

At this moment, the cell phone in Shen Lang's pocket suddenly rang.

He gestured to everyone to keep quiet, then took out his phone and answered the call.

An old woman's voice came from the other end of the line: "Shen Lang, come back, your father wants to see you!"

When Shen Lang heard this voice, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"what's up?"

"Come back when I told you to. How would I know why your father is looking for you?" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed very cold to Shen Lang, and her words were extremely stiff.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Lang said to everyone: "Sorry, I have something to do tonight, so I won't go!"

Jing Cheng quickly came to his side and asked, "Did something happen?"

In order to not spoil everyone's fun, Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's okay!"

"I'll take you there!" Jing Cheng was still worried.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's really alright, go play."

……

After everyone left, the noisy world seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

Shen Lang got into the car, rubbed his face, and finally started the car and drove towards the familiar yet unfamiliar home.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a red brick yard in the suburbs. When Shen Lang opened the door and got out of the car, he saw a woman in her fifties standing at the gate of the yard.

He walked forward and said calmly, "Mom!"

The woman saw Shen Lang and snorted coldly: "I don't have a son like you!"

After saying that, he turned and walked in, saying as he walked, "Your father is in the bedroom, go find him yourself."

As soon as Shen Lang changed his shoes and entered the living room, he saw a young man with a much wider distance between his eyes and eyebrows than a normal person sitting on the sofa watching cartoons.

When the young man saw Shen Lang, he jumped up from the sofa and shouted, "Brother!"

Shen Lang had the original owner's memories and knew that this was his half-brother.

Because he has Down syndrome since childhood, his intellectual development is not perfect, but his younger brother is very dependent on him. Every time they see him, the two brothers are very affectionate. "Shen Zhuangzhuang, you need to exercise more. You have gained a lot of weight recently!" Shen Lang patted his brother's shoulder and smiled.

Shen Zhuangzhuang stammered, "Mom, Mom won't let me go out, saying there are bad guys!"

At this time, the woman in the living room said, "Zhuangzhuang, watch your TV!"

Shen Zhuangzhuang was frightened by his mother's severity and trembled with fear. He sat back on the sofa pitifully, but he would sneak a glance at Shen Lang from time to time.

Shen Lang knew that he was not liked by women, so he smiled and said to Zhuang Zhuang: "Zhuang Zhuang, watch TV. I will buy you something delicious next time you come back!"

The woman sneered and said, "You? Just don't starve yourself to death. Zhuangzhuang doesn't need your help!"

Shen Lang glanced at her, turned around and went upstairs.

When he arrived at his father's bedroom, he wanted to push the door open, but in the end he knocked.

"Who is it?" The voice in the room sounded very old.

Shen Lang pushed the door open and said, "Dad, I'm back."

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a smell from the bedroom that only comes from the elderly's room.

The carved bed in Shen Lang's original owner's memory has now become a pushable steel-frame hospital bed.

The bedside table was also replaced by an IV stand.

Lying on the bed was a haggard old man, his wrinkled skin covered with dark brown age spots.

Shen Lang was shocked when he saw this scene. This father seemed to be a completely different person from the one in his memory: "Dad, why are you..."

The old man on the bed clenched his fist and covered his mouth with his hands, coughed twice, and then said, "You haven't been home for more than a year. Do you not recognize me as your father?"

Shen Lang was speechless. He had experienced the original owner's self-abandonment from his boss. He didn't expect that he would not even go home after his failed marriage. His father was in such a state, but he still chose to give up. No wonder he was abandoned by a woman.

The old man had a hard time speaking. He took two deep breaths and said, "It's all my fault that I was soft-hearted back then and let you pursue the path of an actor. Now it's turned out like this. I, I'll feel bad even if I die!"

Perhaps it was the remnant of the original owner's memory. Shen Lang's throat suddenly felt like something was blocking it. He felt sad and whispered, "Dad, everyone's path is their own choice, just like marriage. You didn't agree with my marriage at the time, but it was all my fault for being so confused!"

When the old man heard this, he looked at Shen Lang in great surprise. There was relief and relief in his eyes, and finally he trembled and said, "You, you have grown up!"

Can you not grow up?
His father was the most famous film screenwriter in the capital in the last century, and is very familiar with many bigwigs in the Beijing circle today.

Of course, due to the nature of his job as a screenwriter, his reputation is not as loud as those big guys, but he still has a lot of connections in the circle.

It was because of my father that I chose the path of an actor.

In the end, despite his family's opposition, he married Lin Jiaer.

This "wife" was gentle and lovely at the beginning, but as time went on, she gained control of many of her father's connections, and Lin Jiaer's true colors began to show.

Finally, word got out that he was committing domestic violence.

The original owner was a love-brained person. Even when they broke up, he had to give Lin Jiaer some dignity. In the end, he chose to leave the house with nothing. In the agreement, he also took the initiative to assume the responsibility for the unpaid loan for the car and house.

This incident was a big blow to the old man. He had two sons, one of whom had a mental disability since childhood and definitely had no one to rely on, and his eldest son had ended up in such a state.

The reason why he called Shen Lang this time was actually because he didn't want his eldest son, who had been divorced for almost two years, to continue to be so depressed.

He reached under the pillow with his shaking hands, took out a card and handed it to Shen Lang, saying, "This money is all my retirement money. Take it and pay off the overdue loan fees, and then sell the garage. Dad, this is all I can do to help you!"

A father is already so sick. If Shen Lang still asks for money to save the old man's life, wouldn't he be a beast?

"No, Dad, I can't take this money!"

"Here, this is the last thing I can do to help you! You, you have to rely on yourself from now on, son!"

Shen Lang choked up and said, "Dad, I really can't take it!"

The old man suddenly became anxious and shouted, "You, are you going to piss me off to death? You... cough cough cough..."

A burst of heart-wrenching coughing startled the woman downstairs.

She rushed in, glared at Shen Lang unkindly, then turned around and said, "Old Shen, don't get excited!"

After saying that, she yelled at Shen Lang with red eyes: "Your father has already given your brother's future living expenses to you for your financial support, can you please stop making him angry? Can you?"

When Shen Lang heard this, he looked at the old man on the hospital bed in shock.

His father passed away early in his previous life, so he had no concept of fatherly love, but at this moment, Shen Lang felt a little sour in his nose.

Yes, the person in front of me is obviously not my father, so why can I feel the father's love as heavy as a mountain?

Just then, his cell phone text message ringtone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and saw a text message that read: "Your card with the last digit 9399 received an interbank transfer of RMB 9 from the Capital Bank at 28:10 on September 38, with a balance of RMB 3. [Capital Bank]."

Just after I finished reading the text message, the phone rang.

"Have you received the money? Five months' salary for the assistant director and 300 million divided 180% to % is million, a total of million. Please move your tent out of the company corridor immediately!"
