Chapter 374 Li Mubai passed away?
The dinner time was originally scheduled to be late, and the director had to arrive later due to some matters, so the middleman, Dong Guoqiang's old friend, could only sit and chat with Dong Guoqiang and Jiang Li first.
They haven't gotten together for a long time, so it's not bad to arrive early and chat first.
Dong Guoqiang introduced his friend to Jiang Li, saying that his surname was Liao and his name was Shijie, and asked Jiang Li to just call him Uncle Liao.
Seeing that the man was indeed quite young, only in his forties, Jiang Li called him Uncle Liao.
Uncle Liao is also very outgoing.
As soon as they met, he praised Jiang Li for her beauty and professional skills. He had heard some of the clips she had dubbed before and felt that she was very professional and fit in well with this play.
Jiang Li knew that these were just commercial boasting, so she didn't feel proud or complacent, she just listened to them.
Uncle Liao added: "Every time I came to Suzhou, I would come to eat at Lihualuo. I have to say, the food here is really good."
Dong Guoqiang smiled and said, "The restaurants here are really good, but it's hard to reserve a seat."
The man smiled and said, "It is indeed difficult to book, but we have Director Li, so we can use the back door. It is said that this restaurant is opened by one of Director Li's relatives, so Director Li will stay here every time he comes to Suzhou."
"Oh, no wonder." Dong Guoqiang smiled and said, "It seems that Director Li has a lot of connections."
The man laughed and said, "That's not the case. Don't you think about his background? He definitely won at the starting line. His grandparents were movie kings and movie queens, and his father is a well-known director. Otherwise, how could he be a director at such a young age?"
After thinking for a while, he felt that his words seemed ambiguous, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not saying that he relied on connections to get in through the back door. I mean, he has been immersed in this environment since he was a child. He has seen a lot, learned early, and is very talented. What I just meant is..."
Dong Guoqiang interrupted him with a smile, saying, "Alright, alright, no need to explain. Don't I know this Director Li? He's a young talent. I've seen the movies he made last year. His filming techniques are very novel and smart, and the plot connection is also very good and natural. He's definitely a talent."
"Right, right, right! When Director Li released this movie, I don't know how many people were slapped in the face. Those rumors that he relied on his family to make movies for three generations were dispelled."
Bala, bala, bala...
Jiang Li had also seen the movie that Dong Guoqiang and Liao Shijie were talking about. The director was Li Li, who won some award for emerging director last year.
Dong Guoqiang and Liao Shijie were talking more and more enthusiastically. Twenty minutes later, the legendary director Li Li finally arrived.
As soon as he entered the door, he apologized to everyone and said, "Sorry for being late."
Several people in the room stood up to greet him.
Jiang Li also greeted him, and then took the opportunity to look him over.
Director Li Li is very young, probably in his twenties, with a youthful face. When he smiles, he looks like a sunny and cheerful big boy.
The young are really to be feared.
At such a young age, he has already won awards.
Liao Shijie introduced them to Director Li Li one by one, but when he introduced Jiang Li, he hadn't even mentioned her name yet.
When Director Li Li saw her, his eyes widened.
"Have we met before?"
Jiang Li was frightened by Director Li Li's reaction and stammered, "Should... shouldn't be."
Director Li Li frowned, thought for a moment, and said in surprise: "I remember! Photos! I have a photo of you at home! Or rather, that person looks exactly like you!"
"Yes..." The man rolled his eyes, looked Jiang Li up and down, and exclaimed: "It's exactly the same, this face, this hair..."
"Do you have any photos of me at home?"
Jiang Li's heart was already lifted.
Could it be that the director's family knew her, had a photo of her, and her last name was Li...
Is it...
Jiang Li was still guessing anxiously when the man suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I remember it now, it's that photo! It's the photo of my grandparents on their wedding day!"
Jiang Li's heart began to beat "bang bang bang" and she seemed to have some tinnitus. She saw the director's mouth move slightly, and deep and shallow sounds came over.
"I have a very deep impression. You were standing next to my uncle Mu Bai and hugging him..."
"Mu Bai...are you talking about Li Mu Bai?" Jiang Li felt her heart was about to jump out.
"Yes! Li Mubai, the famous actor Li Mubai back then, but he has already..."
Jiang Li felt her hands trembling slightly: "You know Li Mubai, then who are your parents..."
Before the director even opened his mouth, the person next to him had already introduced him with a smile. "Director Li comes from a family of performing artists, but he is a low-key person and has kept it a secret. In fact, his grandfather is the well-known Li Xingmu, and his grandmother is..."
"Qin Sisi! You are Qin Sisi's grandson! Then Li An is yours?"
"It's my dad!" the director asked excitedly, "You know my dad? Do you also know my grandparents? Do you look a lot like your elders? Have your elders ever been to Hong Kong?"
Jiang Li looked at the director in front of her and felt dizzy.
Qin Sisi and Li Xingmu's grandson...
day!
Is the world so small?
Seeing that the director was very excited, Dong Guoqiang quickly called out, "How about Director Li, you sit down first? Jiang Li, you want to sit down..."
"Jiang Li? Your name is Jiang Li?!"
Jiang Li nodded dazedly and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
"Is it Jiang Ziya's ginger and Li's pear?"
Jiang Li nodded nervously: "Yes."
The director's face changed, and he kept muttering to himself, "We are triplets. My name is Li Huaijiang, my sister is Li Sili, and I have a brother named Li Nianbai... Miss Jiang, you! You must be related to my family."
Li Huaijiang, Li Sili, Li Nianbai...
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people present changed.
Is it possible that their ancestors really had some miraculous connection?
Jiang Li felt that she really couldn't sit still anymore. She felt her legs go weak and she sat down first, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
it's over...
it's over...
BBQ, it’s over, it’s over, she’s going to be exposed!
Jiang Li sat down, and Li Huaijiang followed suit. However, he did not sit in the seat arranged for him. Instead, he walked to Jiang Li and sat next to her.
"Ms. Jiang, you haven't answered my question yet? Do you look like your elders? Do your elders know my grandparents?"
Jiang Li tried to control her emotions and said calmly, "Well, I do look like me...my aunt. My aunt did go to Hong Kong when she was young."
"Ah! No wonder! It must be that your aunt knows my grandparents!"
Jiang Li could only nod in agreement: "Yeah, yes, that's right, it must be like this."
Li Huaijiang was in a good mood: "I didn't expect that I would have such a fate while filming a movie."
Jiang Li nodded rapidly: "Mm-m-m-m, magical."
At this time, the waiter came in and asked if the dishes were ready. Liao Zhijie said, "Serve the dishes." They ate and talked. Soon, the dishes were served one after another.
There were several plates of exquisite dishes on the table, including braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, steamed fish, etc. They were all home-cooked dishes, but they exuded an enticing aroma.
Li Huaijiang enthusiastically picked up some food for Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang, you're welcome, eat more."
Jiang Li was flattered, but she thought that this was Qin Sisi's grandson, and she was the elder. According to seniority, he had to call him aunt, so it was reasonable for the younger generation to pick up food for her.
Jiang Li thanked him with a smile, and when she looked at Li Huaijiang, there was more kindness in her eyes.
This is the grandson of Qin Sisi and Li Xingmu. Who do you think he looks like?
It seems that her eyes resemble Qin Sisi's and her nose resembles Li Xingmu's...
Thinking back to when his father was born, she held him in her arms...
I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye...
If she wasn't afraid of scaring him, Jiang Li would really like to reach out and rub him.
The atmosphere in the box was very harmonious, with everyone chatting while eating.
"This braised pork tastes really good," Li Huaijiang praised, "Miss Jiang, you should try it too."
I picked up a piece of ginger pear and put it in my mouth, savoring it carefully. It was indeed delicious, rich but not greasy.
"This ginger chicken is also good, you should try it too."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, and also picked up a piece of chicken and put it in the bowl. She noticed that Li Huaijiang had been taking care of her taste and constantly recommending various dishes to her, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
"Director Li, you don't have to be so polite. Eat quickly too."
Li Huaijiang smiled and said, "I just went to see an uncle of mine and had some afternoon tea. I'm not hungry at all. But you guys must be hungry after waiting for me for so long. You should eat more."
At the end of the dinner, seeing Liao Zhijie and Dong Guoqiang both go to the bathroom, Jiang Li took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Li, actually, I want to ask you about someone."
"Who?"
"How is Mr. Li Mubai now?"
Hearing this name, Li Huaijiang's face suddenly darkened.
"He...why are you asking about him?"
Jiang Li took out the excuse she had prepared long ago and said quickly: "Actually, when my aunt was young, she and Mr. Li Mubai were... lovers, but later they separated for some reason. She... she was always worried about him before she died, so I wanted to ask about Mr. Li's situation."
As Jiang Li spoke, she added in her mind: "Pooh, pooh, good luck, no taboos."
Li Huaijiang certainly didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking. He just said with a serious face: "My grandparents have told us that the affairs of our family and Grandpa Li's family cannot be disclosed to others. If it were someone else, I would definitely not say these words, but since your aunt and grandmother have this kind of relationship with my grandparents, then..."
Jiang Li was nervous, fearing that Li Huaijiang would not reveal the truth, so she quickly added, "When your father was born, my aunt held him in her arms. They had a very good relationship before, but later..."
"Miss Jiang, it's not that I don't want to say more, it's mainly because I don't know much about Grandpa Li. I only know that he and my grandfather were very good friends, and your aunt and my grandmother were also very good friends, because my aunt often looked at the photos of their wedding day and sometimes cried secretly."
The more Jiang Li listened, the more nervous she became.
Did something happen to them later?
But she didn't want to press too hard, for fear of revealing something, so she could only suppress her anxiety and wait for Li Huaijiang to slowly speak.
"Once, I asked my grandmother why I had never seen these two people, even though I had seen all the other people in the photo before."
At that time, my grandmother said, her expression was slightly startled, and then she slowly said that her best friend, your aunt, disappeared a long time ago, and Grandpa Li Mubai, he... died a few years after your aunt disappeared. "
