C248 Getting Cold Feet

The crew was supposed to take the day off the day before New Year's Eve and then resume filming on the third day of New Year's. As a result, the cast was looking forward to going home and spending time with their families.

Around the Spring Festival, tickets and plane tickets were not easy to buy. Initially, Qin Lang planned to drive to pick Qiao Lin up, but Qiao Lin rejected him as it was too far away. Instead, he took the crew's car back to B City.

Along the way, Qiao Lin would chat with Qin Lang on WeChat from time to time, sending him the scenery of the snow that they saw on the way. He even asked Qin Lang for the address of the Qin family until a few hours later, Qiao Lin told him on WeChat that he had arrived in B City and would be able to get home very soon after taking a taxi.

"Mom, my friend will be here soon." As soon as Qiao Lin was about to reach home, Qin Lang told his mother and sister excitedly.

It was almost dinner time. The family gathered together to eat oranges and watch TV, waiting for Qin Lang's "friend" to arrive.

Seeing her brother's excited and nervous expression, Qin Shi shook her head with a smile.

His mother, on the other hand, did not understand why Qin Lang was so excited. She even laughed at him and said, "You child, I have never seen you so excited about a friend before. If you hadn't said that the child was a man and that he came to our house for the New Year because there was no one else to accompany him, I would have thought that you were preparing a surprise for us and secretly bringing your girlfriend to us."

Yu, who was playing beside his mother, suddenly took over his grandmother's words and said, "Dad Qiao Lin is not Dad's girlfriend, he is Dad's man..."

Fortunately, Qin Shu realized that the child was about to spill the beans and quickly stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth.

"Mom, I know Qiao and Yu. It seems like brother has no surprises for us this year." Qin Shu pretended to be disappointed, but he was sweating in his heart. If Yu were to spill the beans, their family would probably have a hard time this year. He and his brother were in the same boat. He had to protect his brother first before he could protect himself. Otherwise, before he could even pass Yee Fann's parents' test, the house would catch fire again. Tomorrow he was going to Yee Fann's house. He couldn't afford to cause any more trouble at this time.

"Sigh." The mother of the Qin family sighed, "I don't think so. Your brother is an actor, and for the sake of popularity and his idol burden, he probably won't get into a relationship so early. As for you, I originally had some hope, but you haven't even been in a relationship since you were born. Now you're following in your brother's footsteps. As a mother, I didn't expect my tone-deaf son to become a singer. He won so many fans by participating in a competition. I don't care anymore. You two brothers can do whatever you want."

Everyone present heaved a sigh of relief at Qin's mother's words.

"But this Qiao Lin..." Qin's mother suddenly mentioned Qiao Lin again, "I really want to meet him. Not to mention now, even when Lang was in school, he did not bring his friends and classmates home. But why does this name sound so familiar to me?"

"Mom, I've told you about him before. The watch you and Dad gave me was taken by the crew when I was doing extras in the cinema city. He ran off to fight someone and helped me get it back. But later on, I was too careless and thought I had lost the watch. In fact, he kept it for me. He was the one who took me in when I was in the cinema city. Later on, he left the cinema city because of family matters and cut off all contact with me. Half a year ago, we met again in the cinema city. He even gave me back the watch that he had always kept for me. His family was special. No one spent the Spring Festival with him, and he helped me so much that I wanted him to come to our house for the Spring Festival. "

After hearing her son's words, Qin's mother remembered who Qiao Lin was. Qin Lang had indeed told her about what happened in the cinema city when he returned home.

As for her son's watch, it meant a lot to her, not to mention Qin Lang.

At that time, Qin Lang's father was still alive, and the family's financial situation was not bad. Qin Shi was still in a relationship with Yan Ming, and Yan Ming had yet to reveal his shameless side.

It was Qin Lang's last birthday before he became an adult. At that time, his father was seriously ill and worried that he would not be able to spend the next birthday with his son, which would be his eighteenth birthday, so he prepared this gift a year in advance. After some discussion, Qin's mother and father gave Qin Lang a watch. The price of the watch was not cheap, not because his parents looked at it, but because of the meaning behind it. The designer of the watch had designed it to give it to his child, hoping that this gift would accompany his child and remember every wonderful moment of his life.

That was what Father Qin had hoped for.

However, Qin Lang did not know the significance of this watch. He only knew that it was given to him by his parents and was very precious.

When the watch had been taken away by the crew, he had told Qiao Lin to forget about it as he did not want to cause trouble for others because of him. If Qiao Lin had not helped him that day, he would have probably called the police.

The watch was a limited edition with a special code, which was the best evidence.

However, in the end, he had forgotten about the watch with Qiao Lin. He had thought that he had lost it and blamed himself for it for a long time. He did not expect that in the end, not only did he lose the watch, but he had also regained Qiao Lin.

"Then I really want to meet this child. He helped you so much in the past. We have to thank him properly." Through what Qin Lang had said about Qiao Lin, Qin's mother had a good influence on Qiao Lin.

Seeing that his mother seemed to like Qiao Lin very much, Qin Lang told her about the things that had happened between the two of them during the past half a year. Of course, he deliberately left out everything about their relationship.

Unknowingly, they had been chatting for almost an hour, but the person who said that he was taking a taxi back had yet to appear.

It was already seven o'clock.

Qin Lang began to worry and regret not going to S City to pick him up. He should have personally picked him up when he arrived in B City.

"I'll give him a call and ask him where he is," Qin Lang stood up and left for his bedroom.

Just as he found Qiao Lin's phone number from the call log and was about to dial it, Qiao Lin's phone rang.

Qin Lang heaved a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the phone, "Darling, where are you now? Don't tell me you're running away? Although you're not ugly, I still have to say that an ugly wife has to meet her in-laws in the end. Why are you running away?"

"Qin Lang," the man on the other end of the line interrupted him. "I'm sorry, but I may not be able to see you and your family tonight."

Qiao Lin looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, "I'm with my dad now."

"What's wrong? Did he get someone to take you away by force again? " Qin Lang did not think that Qiao Lin would willingly go to see Qiao Zhicheng. Since Qiao Lin had promised him that he would come home with him to see his mother and sister, it was even more impossible for him to change his mind.

Qin Lang's guess was right. Qiao Zhicheng had probably sent people to keep an eye on Qiao Lin. When he got out of the production team's car and dragged his suitcase to the side of the road to wait for the car, he was stopped by Qiao Zhicheng's car. He was even forcefully taken into the car by Qiao Zhicheng's bodyguards and brought back to the Qiao family.
