Volume Five, Return, Chapter Fourteen, Complex Family Relations
Everyone from the Wei family has gathered in the Ghost Gate Hall.
Fang Leng gently inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner in front of him, looking at the portrait. He felt that at this time, he should still express a look of sadness, and of course he should also pay attention to the standards.
Yu Shuo had been watching Fang Leng from the side. For her, she had not seen Wei Ming for seven years, so she naturally had to look at him carefully at this moment.
Then, she looked at the portrait and said, "Father, Wei Ming is back. The second son you have been talking about, he has finally come back to see you."
Wei Ming's father always regarded Xu Yusu as his adopted daughter, so later, he simply asked Xu Yusu to call him his father. According to this plot routine, generally in a big family, an outsider who is not related by blood is regarded as a parent-child by the elders in the family, and will be hostile. The reason is naturally because he is worried that he will be separated by this outsider when his property is divided. However, this routine does not exist in this movie. People from the Wei family did not show any disgust for Xu Yusu calling Mr. Wei as his father.
This is a very unique family, and it is definitely not a bloody family in the secular world who are intriguing for property and inheritance rights. In fact, Ye Xiang has already guessed that the Wei family, perhaps similar to the Ouyang family in "The Confinement Room", is a psychic family. Then, this family must have the curse of the dead. This is also the most scarce thing in the Thirteenth Degree Cinema, which is currently in short supply of curses. Even if it has more power, it can be of great help to the future trip to "Ghost Sacrifice 3".
Not only Ye Xiang, but Fang Leng and Yu Shuo also thought of this. Both of them are experienced in this kind of thing.
Now, we need to act according to the opportunity and carefully observe everything in this family.
In the mourning hall, the people from the Wei family began to gather one after another. Among them, most of them focused on Fang Leng. These people naturally had many familiar faces.
Cheng Xuesong was standing with her hands down at this time. She was standing beside Li Weisi. She played Wei Si's wife. However, her eyes were staring at Fang Leng at the moment, but that gaze was not a kind of disgust, but on the contrary, it was a kind of deep attachment. Cheng Xuesong's interpretation of the eyes was much better than the lines. This expression was also her own guess. The reason was very simple. Xu Qianrong, the role she played, had always been in love with Wei Ming. Seven years ago, everyone was just a teenage girl, but at that time, Qianrong had been following Wei Ming, and her identity was Xu Yusu's sister. Sisters liked the same man, which was also a common setting in many movies, and it was not unusual. However, unlike her sister, because she also felt that Wei Ming would not return, she finally chose to marry Wei Ming's cousin Wei Si.
However, Wei Ming is back now, but she has already married a wife. On the contrary, her sister finally waited for Wei Ming's return. In her eyes, in addition to her attachment, she naturally couldn't hide her jealousy towards her sister Yusu. It can be seen that although she married Wei Si, she obviously did not live a good life after marriage. Or, although she married Wei Si, she couldn't forget Wei Ming in her heart, so she didn't have much feelings for her newlywed husband.
But speaking of this, what is the relationship between Xu Yusu and Xu Qianrong and the Wei family? This is quite difficult to understand. The script of the first act did not give this answer. Their relationship with this family is very special, obviously not servants. Even Mr. Wei regards Xu Yusu as his daughter, and others don’t say much. In addition, Xu Yusu is the heroine of this movie...
The Xu sisters must be the key to this movie, there is no doubt about this!
"Anyway, you're finally back."
At this time, the second uncle Wei Yuanwu walked to Fang Leng and bent down to look at him.
At this moment, his eyes began to soften, as if the viciousness in his previous eyes was just Fang Leng's illusion. Is he an actor?
"Yes, second uncle, it's a good thing for Wei Ming to come back." Yu Shuo, who was standing beside him, immediately smoothed out: "It's better to let him stay in the Wei family in the future!"
After this statement was made, Wei Si, no, it should be Li Weisi, but he said coldly: "What are you talking about? Yu Su? He must have made a secret hall outside, why are he willing to stay here?"
However, Wei Yuanwu said, "Okay. If Wei Ming wants to, I, the second uncle, can nod. My eldest brother has gone to the immortal world now, so I think this family is my decision."
"Thank you, Uncle Second!"
Although I knew this answer in the script as early as the script, Yu Shuo still smiled, just like a child who was promised a reward by his parents.
Li Weisi snorted, then looked at Cheng Xuesong beside her. The latter also showed a hint of joy in her eyes after Uncle Er said that. Li Weisi glared at her angrily, pulled her up, and said, "Everyone, I have lost my companion first, I don't want to disturb you!"
Then he pulled up Cedar and rushed straight to the second floor in anger.
It was getting late.
Fang Lengze also met all the "old friends" he hadn't seen for many years.
When his uncle saw him, his face was softer, not as much as his aunt. Although his uncle was in his fifties, he still looked very energetic and looked good, otherwise he would not be worthy of such a beautiful aunt. When his uncle saw him, he just said lightly: "It's good to come back. Ah Ming, do you still remember me?"
"Of course." Fang Leng also made his eyes softer at this time: "I remember my uncle still loved me very much when he was a child."
"You haven't forgotten."
My aunt said from the side, "That's right, you spoiled him the most at that time, even more than your sister."
Wei Ming's mother seemed to have passed away very early. However, it is not clear what age Wei Ming died. Fang Leng even guessed whether his mother died when Wei Ming was thirteen years old, which led to Wei Ming leaving this family and Baihe Town?
Speaking of which, according to the character introduction of the script, both aunts and uncles and the sisters of the Xu family are from Baihe Town. For people in Baihe Town, being able to marry into the Wei family means that they have no shortage of food and clothing. This family seems to be quite rich, but it is also quite mysterious and weird.
Next, he paid attention to Wei Xin, the cousin played by Dong Qilan, who is the sister of Wei Si, played by Li Weisi. After seeing Wei Ming, Wei Xin did not show much expression and seemed to be indifferent at all. Because she is a professional actor and Dong Qilan's already cold temperament, she interprets the role of Wei Xin to a full extent. This way, she looks very similar to the heroine of Jin Yong drama she played in the past.
Wei Ming's family is mainly these people, uncle, aunt and their son Haoxiang, second uncle and his two children. The role of second aunt does not seem to exist. It is unknown whether it has passed away or divorced. As for the role of aunt, it seems that she took her daughter back to her hometown after the divorce. Her daughter was played by Qi Qingqing, named Wei Lian, and she has few scenes at present.
The role played by Yang Hong is just an ordinary maid, extremely inconspicuous, with only one line, "Young Master, please have tea." Such a supporting role may die early. She herself knows this, so her hands trembled particularly hard when pouring tea. Relatively speaking, because Dong Qilan is a big star, she should be treated a little better.
"When my father died, did he say anything?"
In the living room, sitting in front of the elders, Fang Leng finally asked this question.
This is also what Wei Ming wants to ask the most.
"He just kept muttering about you. It's a pity that you changed your living place at that time." My uncle said, "I also heard that the housing prices in the city are high now. Otherwise, if you have a house to live in, you would be able to contact you earlier. But your phone was shut down due to arrears. If you could meet your father for the last time, that would be great."
Fang Leng was speechless.
Obviously, Wei Ming's life outside was very unsatisfactory. He had always lived in some temporary residences, which was no different from a migrant worker who went to the city to work, and he couldn't even afford the phone bill. He was so down and unable to return with such a rich family. Obviously, he had a very conflict with his family. Wei's father kept writing to him, and obviously he was not completely heartless, but Wei Ming still refused to come back until he heard the news of his father's death...
Wei Ming must have a strong negative relationship with this family. It is just like many people who don’t welcome his return. However, his return is the trigger of the most important plot of this movie. Something must have happened to this family in the past seven years. I’m afraid it has become completely different from seven years ago.
So, next, he added a line.
"Have there been any changes in the family over the past seven years?"
Fang Leng knew that even if the change really existed, the other party would not be likely to tell him. However, he would still observe. The elders on the other party may not be actors, and there are only NPCs among them. This is very important for the other party.
However, they did not show any special expressions.
It seemed they expected from the very beginning that he would definitely ask this question.
"Of course there are changes, and you see them all. Especially when Qianrong married my son, the letter sent to you by her elder brother, probably didn't mention this matter, right?"
Their reaction could not confirm Fang Leng's speculation. After a while, we must find a way to find an opportunity to let Yu Shuo walk around these five halls and find a way to sense what was wrong.
Perhaps... Wei's father's death is also related to it.
If this is true, then it will be very unusual. Among all the lines in the first act script, the cause of Wei's father's death cannot be judged at all. Because he mentioned that he was in poor health, ordinary people can easily preconceived that he died of illness. However, no one confirmed this at all. Wei Ming, played by Fang Leng, was obviously told about the cause of his father's death, so naturally he could not ask again. However, no matter what, he would find a way to find out.
