When Xin Bolang sent the children over, he said that the two children were too unruly and naughty at home, and he hoped to send them to France to receive more cultural and artistic education.
In the afternoon, Lin Leyao and Xin Ying took the two little ones to see an art exhibition.
The brother and sister have very different personalities. The older sister is outgoing and straightforward, and insists on walking by herself when she goes out, while the younger brother is introverted and shy, and will hide in Lin Leyao's arms in fear when he is in a crowded place.
When visiting art exhibitions, Xin Youyou likes the biographical introductions of each artist, while Xin Diandian is different; he can stand in front of a painting and stare at it for a long time.
After dinner, we all went to see the musical "Emilie Jolie".
This is a famous French children's musical that tells the story of Emily entering a book in a dream to help a witch find her prince charming and restore her princess status.
After the musical began, Xin Diandian was completely captivated by the stage. When the play reached its climax, Xin Diandian suddenly stood up and stared blankly at the actors on stage.
Xin Youyou wasn't interested in these artistic things. She sat in her seat, looking around and constantly observing the people around her.
The watch on this uncle's wrist is the same one his father also has.
This uncle's clothes are also from the fourth uncle.
This auntie's necklace is so pretty, I want Dad to buy one for Mom.
Wow, I saw this ring in the auction catalog!
After the musical ended, Xin Diandian lingered on the stage, reluctant to leave. Xin Youyou needed to use the restroom urgently, so Xin Ying took the child to the restroom.
In the bathroom, Xin Youyou had just sat on the toilet when she heard a sobbing sound coming from next to her.
Xin Youyou immediately said in French, "Who's crying?"
The crying next to her stopped immediately. Xin Youyou finished using the toilet and walked to the door of the bathroom next door.
She waited for a while and when no one came out, she boldly knocked on the door.
"Can you come out?"
A blonde, blue-eyed little girl came out. The girl was about seven or eight years old. She looked down at the little girl in front of her, who was much younger than her and had an Asian face, wondering what she wanted to do.
Xin Youyou looked at the girl's red eyes and asked, "Why are you crying?"
The little girl stared at her intently. Suddenly, a bright light flashed across Xin Youyou's neck. The girl's eyes lit up when she saw what Xin Youyou was wearing, but her gaze quickly dimmed again.
Xin Youyou tugged at the necklace around her neck and asked, "Are you looking at this?"
The little girl said dejectedly, "I also have a necklace like that, but it just fell into the toilet and was flushed away."
Xin Youyou looked regretful: "That's too tragic."
The girl's lips trembled, and she was about to cry.
Xin Youyou asked, puzzled, "Why are you crying again?"
“That was a gift from my father. My father was shot and killed last year.”
Xin Youyou's eyes widened suddenly.
After a while, Xin Youyou took off the necklace from her neck and handed it to the little girl: "I'll lend this to you."
"Lend it to me?"
"Give it back to me when you're no longer feeling bad."
"How long will that take?"
"It's fine until I die."
The little girl, her eyes red, took the necklace and said, "I can give you money."
Xin Youyou said nonchalantly, "I'll give you the money when you grow up."
The girl obediently replied, "Okay. How can I find you in the future?"
The five-year-old girl took a cell phone out of her small backpack and looked up at the little girl opposite her, asking, "Do you have a cell phone?"
The girl immediately took out her phone.
Xin Youyou skillfully exchanged contact information with the other party, and then said, "Each necklace has a number, so you can't lie to me, or I'll come to France to find you when I grow up."
The little girl nodded immediately and said, "I would never lie to you!"
The two children completed a secret transaction without the adults' knowledge. It wasn't until they got home that evening that Xin Ying noticed Xin Youyou's necklace was missing.
Xin Ying quickly asked, "Where's the necklace?"
Xin shook her head again: "I don't know."
Xin Diandian, who had been obsessed with the musical until now, had come to her senses and looked at her older sister with a pout.
Her older sister loves money the most, so she must have sold the necklace to make money.
Lin Leyao's movie has finally been released and has achieved very high box office results worldwide.
She was nominated for both Best Actress and Best Director at the Academy Awards that year.
Lin Leyao ultimately missed out on the Best Actress award, but the director successfully won the Best Director award.
When the news of her missing out on the Oscar for Best Actress reached China, many people booed her.
However, Lin Leyao paid no attention to this and did not care about other people's opinions. Over the next three years, she starred in a TV series directed by a Chinese-American female director in Hollywood, and also made a movie.
The success of the TV series earned Lin Leyao an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and the following year, her second film was nominated for an Oscar.
This time, Lin Leyao did not miss out. The Oscar for Best Actress was won by Lin Leyao, a 34-year-old actress from China!
On the awards stage, Lin Leyao looked at the many actors she had once admired who were now her colleagues and friends. She took a deep breath to suppress her excitement and slowly began to speak.
"At twenty-six, I gave up everything to study in New York, and my partner abandoned everything to be with me. I chose what I loved, and my partner chose what she loved. My first Hollywood film was also the director's first film with a Chinese-American female lead and an Asian background. I asked him if he wasn't worried about it affecting his reputation. He said, 'It's enough that I love this film and you love this film.' Last year, when my TV series won an award, I said on stage, 'I love this character, and you love this character, which is why you put me on the stage.' I still feel the same way now. Thank you to my partner, my director, and my films. Dear audience, do what you want—"
Love conquers all.
