Chapter 44 What I Saw and Felt
“If it weren’t for me, would you be able to afford a restaurant and drive a nice car? And now you’re having an affair? You can’t even lay a hand on someone who could be your daughter. You’re such an ingrate.”
"I must have been blind to marry you."
The woman didn't cry when she confronted the mistress, nor did she cry when others cast strange glances at her. But when the man she chose stood against her for another woman, she couldn't hold back anymore. How could they, who once loved each other, have become like this?
With tears streaming down her face, she squatted on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, trying to let out all the pent-up grievances she had vented.
She is a wife, she is a daughter, she is a mother.
Originally, she wanted to protect her family. She worked hard and even spent money wisely, but she couldn't bear to spend a penny on dressing herself up.
But when she heard from others that her husband was having an affair, she didn't believe it until she saw him being intimate with a woman more than 10 years younger than her in a shopping mall. She couldn't hold back anymore and kicked the woman.
What she received in return was a merciless slap from her husband, leaving her stunned.
For the first time, her husband, who was completely helpless, raised his hand and laid a hand on her.
Perhaps she should swallow the bitter pill of the choices she made in her youthful impulsiveness.
She was helped up by the female police officer and sat down on a stool nearby.
She was wearing a restaurant uniform, and her hands were rough from working long hours. Compared to her husband, who had smooth and delicate skin, her hands were much rougher.
The policewoman handed her a pack of tissues and a cup of warm tea.
Don't drink cold water when the weather is hot, or you'll get an upset stomach.
The older woman politely said, "Thank you."
If it weren't for the helplessness of life, who would willingly turn into a shrew and startle in the street?
Ling Xia didn't leave; she kept an eye on how the case was unfolding.
A little while later, my older sister's family arrived.
They were an elderly couple with gray hair and wrinkled faces.
The two elderly people entered the house and struck their son-in-law several times. Knowing he was in the wrong, the son-in-law did not retaliate, and the police then intervened to break up the fight.
The two elderly people were panting heavily. The old man started to curse, "I disliked you from the beginning, but my daughter was so determined to marry you. If my daughter hadn't been pregnant, how could I have agreed?"
Lingxia knew there was something more to the old man's words.
The old man initially disagreed with the two being together, but later agreed because of the pregnancy. That pregnancy was such a coincidence!
Xia adopted the mindset of a police officer and began to consider the matter.
Old Yuan drove his car with his colleague Xiao Wu, and Ning Bei, who had just finished dealing with a family dispute after learning from their group.
When I got back, I saw that there were quite a lot of people in the lobby.
They walked along one side to their seats.
Ning Bei spotted a pretty girl looking this way from the doorway. Following her gaze, Ning Bei knew what she was looking at.
When he came here to study a few days ago, he couldn't help but come and see what was going on.
But after working with Officer Yuan and his team on this case for the past few days, he's seen this kind of thing all the time.
As for why so many people can spot Ling Xia at a glance, it's really thanks to Ling Xia's appearance.
Although Ling Xia wasn't wearing makeup, her natural beauty was so striking that she would stand out in a crowd.
She was wearing a white t-shirt, light-colored jeans, and white sneakers.
She stood tall and graceful, radiating youthful energy, like a female college student.
Many young police officers were secretly watching Lingxia, but Lingxia was captivated by the scene before her. Even if Lingxia noticed, it wouldn't matter; her identity as an actress had already been recognized.
"You must be Ling Xia!" Old Yuan had already walked up to Ling Xia.
Ling Xia only noticed the three men standing in front of her when she heard the sound.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a police uniform. He was short and thin, wore glasses, and had a pair of piercing, narrow eyes that were staring intently at Ling Xia. He also had a small mustache.
If he were on the street, no one would guess he was a police officer; when he was on a stakeout mission, no one would pay any attention to him.
To his left is a handsome middle-aged man with double eyelids, striking features, and a warm, gentle smile. This is Ning Bei, the veteran actor who plays her mentor in the drama.
He is about 180cm tall and has long legs comparable to a model's height. He should be called "oppa" now. He is wearing a dark blue short-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants, looking very capable.
The man on the right is a young man in a police uniform; he has short hair and large pectoral muscles. He looks like he's trained in martial arts.
"Hello, officer, I am Ling Xia." While Ling Xia was looking at the three people, the three people were also looking at Ling Xia.
Old Yuan chuckled and said, "I'm Old Yuan, the one leading your learning mission. Don't be nervous."
"Ok."
Lingxia and the other three entered the house.
Old Yuan noticed that the book in front of Ling Xia was open. "Were you reading here this morning?" he asked, pointing to the book on the table.
Ling Xia picked up the book. "Yes, I'll learn some basic knowledge."
Old Yuan took a glass of water, gulped down half of it, and took a breath. "You really need to see. Our police station is full of trivial matters. You'll understand when you come with us on a call later. It's almost all about everyday family matters."
"Whose bicycle was stolen, who got drunk and caused trouble, who had a fight with their spouse, etc."
“There aren’t that many murder cases. I’ve only encountered a handful in my more than ten years as a police officer.”
"Let's have a meal later, and you can learn from Brother Ning how to write a file."
During this period, Xia started from scratch, learning what each police officer's position was and what they needed to do every day.
She learned how to write files, how to conduct interrogations, how to handle police incidents, and how to answer emergency calls. Step by step, she became more and more like a police officer, and she also became more and more familiar with Ning Bei.
The internship, which lasted for more than two months, is now over.
There's still a little over a month until Chinese New Year, so I'll probably have to spend it on set this year.
The filming of "My Glory" officially started, and Ling Xia finally met the other actors in the crew.
Many media outlets attended the opening ceremony, but the director didn't pay much attention to them, simply holding it in a courtyard.
I thanked the media for coming and sent out some startup red envelopes.
The male lead is Zhang Jiayi, a talented young actor who has become a familiar face in mainstream TV dramas in recent years. He previously performed in stage plays, and listening to him deliver his lines is a pleasure.
His first words stunned Ling Xia, as if her ears had been cleansed.
The other is Chen Ke, a young actress with a strong scholarly spirit, who is very well-behaved.
The past few days on set have been filled with script readings by the main cast and crew, taking costume photos, and media interviews.
Ling Xia's look in this drama is designed to be ugly. Her willow-leaf eyebrows have been changed to thick, straight eyebrows, her skin has been covered with black powder, she wears almost no makeup and no jewelry, and everything is designed to be realistic.
Because it was a serious drama, almost no one in the crew had any ulterior motives. They were practically inseparable from the script in the theater, discussing how to perform the next act every day.
The most stressful part is reciting lines. If someone can't memorize their lines, they'll fall behind the schedule, like asking the production crew to treat them to a meal.
