Zhou Yun was sowhat surprised and asked directly, "Is there sothing that can’t be said over the phone?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them; it was too direct, almost like saying, "If it’s just words, say it over the phone, no need to et in person."
Jiang Haitian smiled and said, "It’s more convenient to talk in person."
Zhou Yun hesitated for a mont and then said, "Okay, Senior, where are you? I’ll co to you."
"Is it convenient?"
"I just finished a task and am in the car right now, I’ll co straight over."
"How about the coffee shop next to my house?" Jiang Haitian suggested, "It’s privately made over from a ho and is rather secluded."
"Okay, then send the address, Senior."
Zhou Yun hung up and ssaged Song Chi: Jiang Haitian asked to et, saying there’s sothing he wants to discuss.
Song Chi imdiately replied: What did he want to talk to you about?
Zhou Yun: I asked him, but he didn’t say over the phone, I am preparing to go now.
Song Chi: Do you need to co?
Zhou Yun: No need, Cao Jun is driving, he is with .
Song Chi: Okay.
Song Chi: Let know later what he wanted to talk about.
Zhou Yun: Okay.
At this ti, Jiang Haitian sent her the address.
Zhou Yun forwarded the address to Cao Jun and said, "Cao Jun, I need you to take here first."
Cao Jun replied with a sound of affirmation, "Okay."
Jiang Haitian was sitting in the coffee shop waiting for her. Probably because it’s winter and the coffee shop is in a residential area, there were only him and the owner there.
There are no waiters; the owner runs the cafe alone.
Zhou Yun took off her mask and sunglasses and sat down opposite Jiang Haitian.
Cao Jun took a seat at another table next to them.
"Senior," she called out.
Jiang Haitian asked, "What would you like to drink? And your... assistant? What will he have?"
Zhou Yun said, "Two lattes, please. Can you do takeout?"
Jiang Haitian nodded, "Please hold on a mont."
He got up to place the order.
The owner prepared the coffee in another room, hidden behind a curtain.
After a while, Jiang Haitian ca out holding two lattes.
He put one cup next to Cao Jun and then placed the other in front of Zhou Yun.
"Senior, what did you want to talk about?" Zhou Yun asked.
"I wanted to ask you about Xue Qin," Jiang Haitian said, looking straight into Zhou Yun’s eyes.
Zhou Yun was stunned.
Jiang Haitian: "I know this request is abrupt, you might not be aware that I know Xue Qin."
Zhou Yun: "I thought you were either her boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. The last ti we t, Song Chi and I were waiting for the driver, and we saw Xue Qin co to see you."
Jiang Haitian smiled unexpectedly and said, "So you knew about her and ."
"Yes."
"We are half-siblings with the sa father," he revealed.
Zhou Yun’s eyes widened in surprise.
She had not expected this relationship.
"Does that an... Xue Qin is Director Jiang He’s daughter?" Zhou Yun asked in surprise.
Jiang Haitian nodded.
"Yes, but please keep this a secret; only a very few people know about this," Jiang Haitian explained, "Xue Qin’s mother was my father’s girlfriend before. Later, she went to the United States. At that ti, she was already pregnant with Xue Qin but didn’t tell my father."
Zhou Yun fell silent for a mont.
Jiang Haitian slightly smiled and said, "Because of this, Xue Qin has always felt uncomfortable and does not acknowledge my father. But after learning he has a daughter, he has always been thinking about getting her back, which has beco his big concern."
"People haven’t gone missing, that it’s ’getting her back’?"
Jiang Haitian was taken aback and replied with a "yes."
Zhou Yun said, "Senior, did you ask here to find out sothing? To be honest, I’m not very close with Xue Qin and don’t know much about her."
"You’ve recently shot two movies with her, even if not close, you should know her better than us," Jiang Haitian remarked.
Zhou Yun did not respond.
"Don’t feel pressured, I just wanted to ask if she ever talked about her family matters with you," Jiang Haitian explained, "My father really hopes she would et him just once, but no matter how I try, she refuses, and I can’t do much but think if there’s another way to persuade her."
Zhou Yun remained silent.
After a while, she spoke, "She has never ntioned anything about her family to ; I only know she grew up in the United States."
Jiang Haitian nodded.
"Does she have a boyfriend now?" he inquired further.
Zhou Yun smiled sowhat bemusedly.
"Is this sothing you should co to for? While I don’t know about her emotional state, even if I did, this is sothing you should ask her directly."
Jiang Haitian replied helplessly, "If I could get the answer from her, I wouldn’t have made such an effort to inquire from you. My father is getting old and always wants to know a bit about his daughter. The more I know, the more he can understand, an old man concerned about his children, but the old grudges, I know it’s not easy for Xue Qin to let go, so I just want to find out as much as I can."
Zhou Yun said, "Senior, I also want to help you, but sorry, my relationship with Xue Qin is purely professional as a director and actor. Honestly, our cooperation wasn’t very smooth either. You’ve interacted with her and should understand her a bit. After filming, I haven’t seen her."
In fact, they had seen each other, but she guessed Jiang Haitian didn’t know.
Sure enough, Jiang Haitian did not further question.
He just sighed sowhat disappointedly.
"If that’s the case, then alright."
Zhou Yun said, "Xue Qin isn’t a cold-hearted person. If it’s as you ntioned, talk to her a few more tis, I think she’ll understand."
Jiang Haitian nodded, "I will."
"Senior, is there anything else? If not, I’ll leave first, as I have another shoot soon, and I’m already a bit delayed."
Zhou Yun apologized to Jiang Haitian with a smile.
Jiang Haitian quickly stood up, saying, "Then I won’t keep you."
"Goodbye, Senior," Zhou Yun said.
She picked up the coffee, smiled, and left.
