The call was picked up after a few rings. It was Fourth Sister Ye Chan.
“Hey, Sixth Sister, did the advertisement shoot go smoothly?”
“It’s alright, it’s alright. I’m preparing to come back now and take a ferry back. I haven’t seen the sea in a long time. I suddenly miss it. I’ll be back tomorrow night.”
...“Oh, okay, okay, we all know… Hey, Sixth Sister, I’ll pick you up tomorrow night!”
The last sentence was Ye Xuan’s voice. It seemed like he had heard it and snatched the cell phone to answer.
When she heard that her little brother was coming to pick her up, Sixth Sister Ye Meng was still quite gratified and happy. After returning from overseas, the warmest thing she would feel would probably be having a relative pick her up. It was much better than reaching the station alone, going out to take a taxi alone, and going home alone while looking at the night scenery outside the window.
Hence, she smiled and replied.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you, Little Brother. Is there anything you want? I’ll bring it back for you. It just so happens that I’m still in Shanghai.”
“No, you… Hey, Sixth Sister, go to the docks and see if there’s any Five Fragrance Beans from the City God Temple. If there are, bring a few kilograms back for me. I’ve been especially greedy recently. If there aren’t any, forget it. There’s no need for anything else.”
It was obvious that Ye Xuan’s phone was snatched away before he could finish speaking. From the voice, it seemed like Fifth Sister Ye Fei’s voice. There was a hint of gentleness in her sweetness, and there was a hint of mischief in her gentleness.
“Alright, alright. I’ll take a look when I get there. That’s all. Bye.”
Sixth Sister Ye Meng smiled and hung up. As soon as she hung up, the chauffeur saw an opportunity and immediately spoke.
“Hey, girl, why do I feel that you look a little like that actress who acted as Little Princess Wanyi? I was curious earlier. The two of you look too similar. Don’t tell me you’re that actress?!”
“She’s called Princess Royal Wanyi. Hahaha, Master, you also followed this drama. How’s my acting?”
Sixth Sister Ye Meng replied with a smile. When she heard this, the chauffeur immediately turned around. Because he was too excited and shocked, the car tilted a little out of control. The little white car beside him was so frightened that it swerved. Then, the driver lowered the window and cursed.
However, the chauffeur didn’t care at all and didn’t listen. He looked at the road in front of him in shock and spoke.
“I’m so tired. I even met a big star today. Aiyo, aiyo, my biological mother. I’ve never met a big star in my life. Oh my god, oh my god…”
The chauffeur was so excited that he was a little incoherent. Furthermore, his accent had changed from the Jinmen dialect to a dialect from another place. It was the same accent the actor who sang “The Orthodox Light”. He said, “I didn’t expect this. I really didn’t expect this. It’s hard to tell what the human heart is.” It sounded a little funny. Coupled with the chauffeur’s exaggerated appearance, Sixth Sister Ye Meng was also amused. She covered her mouth and laughed.
“Hahaha, Master, where are you from? Why do you have three accents? Hahaha.”
“Oh my god, oh my god. Are you really that actress called Ye Meng? Don’t lie.”
The chauffeur was still in disbelief. He looked at the rearview mirror and turned around to confirm with a shocked expression.
After all, for taxi drivers like them, the opportunity to meet a celebrity was simply the same as winning a big prize in a lottery. This was because most celebrities were chauffeured, let alone a movie queen like Ye Meng.
That was why the chauffeur lost his composure. He was shocked and felt like he was going to go numb.
He was also driving. He still maintained his last bit of rationality and his last bit of professional ethics. Otherwise, he would have gone over to ask for an autograph and a photo. He could brag about it for a long time when he brought it back to his family.
Furthermore, he could directly send it to the chauffeur group, it was enough to raise his status visibly. Moreover, with this impressive awesomeness, he could brag about it for a few years.
“Damn, it’s fate that we met. How about this, Master? Although I’m not very famous, I’ll give you an autograph. Don’t mind me.”
Sixth Sister Ye Meng spoke humbly. Then, she took out a high-grade fountain pen and note from her bag and signed an artistic signature for the chauffeur. Then, she pasted it on the box between the main driver’s seat and the front passenger’s seat.
When the chauffeur saw this, he was instantly overjoyed. After driving a few yards, he turned around and looked at the very beautiful artistic signature, as if he was afraid that the signature would suddenly disappear.
This made Sixth Sister Ye Meng happy. At this moment, the car arrived at the docks. Although the chauffeur was very excited, he was still rational and remembered where to stop.
It could be seen that he still had a deep psychological trauma towards the traffic police, so much so that he had already formed a subconscious muscle memory. He stopped at the taxi passenger area. He stopped in front of the white line on the ground.
“Then I’ll leave first. Thank you!”
Sixth Sister Ye Meng said goodbye to this uncle sweetly. Then, she opened the car door and got out of the car with her bag.
It was fate that they met. Many things looked chaotic, but in some deep-level ‘systems’, there was still a certain butterfly effect.
Sixth Sister Ye Meng had always been a person who took things as they came. Therefore, she had developed a calm personality towards everything. She was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither annoyed nor irritated. No matter how excited or sad she was, she would just watch quietly as time passed by her. She looked at the things that time brought and the things that it took away.
This was because she knew that what would come would come, and what would leave would leave. When she encountered many things that did not go well, when she encountered many people who disgusted her, and when she encountered many very sad stories, she would quietly watch calmly. She would not criticize or grieve. She would not be affected by these things.
Of course, this did not mean that she would make others follow fake Buddhist or tang ping[1] beliefs, such as, “In the end, the outcome will be like that. Why should I work hard?”
Instead, it was to say that when she encountered something bad, she would not be too dispirited, sad, or regretful. She just had to maintain her calmest and most ordinary mentality. She would use everything she knew to deal with it.
This was until she exhausted her methods. Then, she would quietly watch the results. No matter what, this was the best way she could do it.
People often went through this stage when they were young, but this stage was actually quite crucial. Many people had never learned this calmness even when they were old.
When they encountered something, they would be troubled, dispirited, and sad. Then, they would think of a solution and think of all kinds of solutions. However, they would do it with very sad and negative emotions.
