Meng Jinnian was slapped in the face and felt a burning pain on his face, especially since he was slapped in front of Cheng Yang, which almost made him angry and ashamed.
He pushed the other person hard almost instinctively without even seeing who was coming.
Men are much stronger than women. Wen Li's body retreated uncontrollably. After taking several steps back, he tripped over something piled on the floor of the dressing room and fell heavily to the ground.
The moment her body hit the ground, she heard a "click" sound from the equipment bag in her hand. Her heart skipped a beat, and she ignored the pain in her body and quickly opened the bag to look inside.
Her telephoto lens worth tens of thousands of dollars was smashed to pieces, with glass fragments scattered all over her bag.
She was so upset that her body was shaking. This lens was the same brand as her usual camera, and she had used it for several years. She brought it back from abroad, and it was not available in China. The photo that won her an international photography award was taken with this lens, which was of great significance.
Meng Jinnian's push broke the lens that she cherished.
She was angry and felt deeply powerless. She hoped that this was not true, but she also knew rationally that her lens was broken and could never be repaired.
Meng Jinnian only realized who she was the moment she fell, and he immediately felt extremely regretful. When he saw the miserable state of her bag, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice.
He walked over, stretched out his hand to pull Wen Li up, and said apologetically, "I didn't see it was you. Are you hurt?"
Wen Li pushed his hand away with force and said with disgust, "Stay away from me."
Meng Jinnian knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to argue with her. Seeing that she didn't look at anyone but only stared at her broken lens, with her beautiful eyes full of water, he knew that she was upset about her lens.
"Xiao Li, I'll buy you another lens, a newer and better one. You've been using this one for many years, and it's just the right time to wait for the old one to go and for the new one to come..."
Wen Li glanced at him. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were so cold that he was frightened and didn't dare to continue speaking.
Cheng Yang came over, squatted beside her, and helped her pick up the broken pieces in her bag. He said with regret, "What a pity, it broke into such pieces. Otherwise, maybe it could be repaired."
Wen Li looked at the bloodstains on his face and felt that he was implicated by her and suffered this unexpected disaster. She felt very sorry and stopped him from cleaning up.
"Don't do it. There are only broken glass pieces. You might cut your hand."
She glanced at him, a little reluctantly saying, "You should ask your agent to take you to deal with it. How are you going to participate in the show with blood all over your face?"
Cheng Yang was clearly aware of his injuries. It looked all bloody, but in fact, he was hit on the cartilage of his nose bridge. He bleed a little but it stopped quickly. He didn't even feel how much pain it was.
But he didn't mind pretending in front of Wen Li. He frowned tightly, as if in pain, and shook his head firmly, saying, "I'm fine. Sister is more important. Did you fall anywhere just now?"
As he spoke, he reached out and helped Wen Li up.
Wen Li felt a little pain in her thigh after the movement. She looked down and found that she had just fallen on a pile of performance clothes. One of them had sharp rivets on it, which cut a hole in her pants and thigh.
The wound wasn't deep, but who knows how many people had worn that performance costume, and who knows how many bacteria were on the rivets. She had to get a tetanus shot after being scratched.
She didn't say anything, but just said to Cheng Yang, "My lens is broken. I can't take pictures of you at this event. Why don't you use the photographer hired by the organizer? I'll go back first."
After a pause, he said apologetically, "After the event is over, go to the hospital to get an X-ray and check it out. Don't be careless. I'll pay for the medical expenses."
Meng Jinnian said hurriedly, "Xiao Li doesn't need to pay for the medical expenses. I'll pay for it."
Wen Li didn't respond. She didn't want to say a word to Meng Jinnian, and only told Cheng Yang, "Remember to go to the hospital."
So he picked up his bag and prepared to leave.
Meng Jinnian followed her out and wanted to see her off, but she rejected him coldly and said, "Please stay away from me. I don't want to see you now."
Meng Jinnian hesitated, but ultimately didn't dare to follow. He was afraid that if he completely annoyed her, he wouldn't even be able to see her again, and there would really be no chance of getting back together.
He felt unwilling again, and before leaving, he glared at Cheng Yang fiercely.
The latter was wiping the blood off his face with a wet towel. Noticing his gaze, he turned his head and grinned at him with an innocent and harmless smile.
"Brother Meng, don't forget to pay my medical bills."
Meng Jinnian was so frustrated.
On the way back, he was thinking about what he should do to make up for the mistake of pushing Wen Li today. After thinking about it, he decided to start with the camera.
The broken lens was bought with the money she saved for a long time when she was studying abroad. It is a foreign brand and a model from several years ago. Not only is it out of stock in China, it also requires a lot of searching even abroad. If you are lucky, you may be able to buy a new one.
He called Huo Yuanchen, and after going around in circles, he asked shyly, "Can An Ran do me a small favor?"
The other side asked him calmly, "What's the matter?"
Meng Jinnian then told the story of Wen Li's broken camera. Of course, he didn't say that it was him who pushed it, but he just said that Wen Li accidentally fell in Cheng Yang's dressing room and broke the camera, and his words were somewhat unfavorable to Cheng Yang.
Finally, I explained, "I want to buy a new lens for Wen Li, but I can't buy it in China. Isn't An Ran overseas? I'll send you the brand and model. Ask An Ran to keep an eye out for it overseas. If she sees it, help me buy it. No matter how much it costs, including the shipping fee, I'll pay double the price."
After hearing the whole story, Huo Yuanchen said impatiently, "An Ran didn't stay abroad just to buy things for you. She's busy, don't count on her."
The rejection was quite ruthless.
Meng Jinnian said, "At least ask An Ran for me. Maybe she is free. I think she is much more enthusiastic than you."
Huo Yuanchen said, "She is very busy."
Just hung up the phone.
He found some documents from the drawer, put them in a document bag, stood up and walked out.
When he walked to the door, he met a student who came to hand in a report to him and asked casually, "Professor Huo, are you going to a meeting?"
He said expressionlessly, "Go to the Second Hospital and get the clinical data of the drug."
This is a habit known to everyone in the teaching and research department. When a new drug is launched on the market, he will regularly go to the cooperating hospital to obtain clinical data to verify the actual therapeutic effect of the drug.
His student said, "Can I take your car with you? My mother is in the hospital there, I want to go see her."
He stopped and asked, "Is your mother in the hospital again?"
The student said, "Yeah, it's an old problem, I'm used to it."
This was a family matter for the student, so Huo Yuanchen didn't want to ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "I'll take you there."
The student followed him into the gate of the Second Hospital, but did not see him walking towards the inpatient department. Instead, he turned to the other side and stopped at the door of the emergency room.
The student followed him, wanting to remind him that he was going the wrong way. Turning his head, he saw a girl with a nice figure standing in the emergency room, standing sideways, with one leg of her pants rolled up, and the doctor was treating the wound on her leg.
Professor Huo's eyes fell on the girl's white and slender legs, and he couldn't take his eyes off them.
