Volume 2 Chapter 1319: Wanting the Leading Female Role

"I'll call him and ask him!" Qiao Man said, taking out her cell phone and calling Gu Ziming.

During this period, Qiao Man rarely called Gu Ziming, saying that they were husband and wife and that their relationship had not changed much from their previous lovers. But the place where I live has changed, from a hotel to here.

"Is something wrong?" Gu Ziming answered the phone. Someone was talking over there, probably busy.

"Can you come back earlier?" Qiao Man asked.

Gu Ziming thought for a moment and said, "I have a social event tonight, so I'll be back early then."

After he finished speaking, he spoke to the people around him.

Seeing that he was busy, Qiao Man didn't say any more.

Mrs. Gu heard some of the conversation and looked at Qiao Man who came out.

"Grandma, Ziming has a social event, we won't wait for him."

Qiao Man's tone was normal to Gu Ziming's socializing outside. Mrs. Gu looked at her and realized something was wrong between Gu Ziming and Qiao Man.

They look like a couple but not like each other.

"Give me your phone." Mrs. Gu followed.

Qiao Man handed over the phone, and Mrs. Gu called Gu Ziming.

Gu Ziming was surprised that Qiao Man called him twice in a row. This was something that had never happened before.

After he connected, before he started talking, Mrs. Gu's displeased scolding came.

"What are you busy with all day long? I don't even have time to have a meal with my wife when I come back!"

"Be right back."

Gu Ziming was surprised that Mrs. Gu and Qiao Man were together. Before he could say anything, Mrs. Gu hung up the phone first.

Gu Ziming put his phone on the table. He raised his head and looked at the assistant beside him, "I won't go to the dinner tonight."

"This?" the assistant hesitated, "Mr. Gu, Director Chen has made an appointment with you for a week. They have a new drama that we need to invest in. Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't go?"

Director Chen is a well-known director in the industry and cannot be compared with ordinary directors.

Gu Ziming knew the importance of Director Chen, but the old lady had called, how could he not go back?

"Let the vice president go instead of me." Gu Ziming decided. He stood up and took his coat. Before leaving, he remembered one more thing. He turned around and asked his assistant, "Is there a shortage of people for Director Chen's new play?"

"Huh?" The assistant looked at Gu Ziming doubtfully. Mr. Gu rarely asked about the crew's manpower issues.

"Ask the vice president to help me find a role."

"What role do you want?"

Gu Ziming thought for a while, and since he wanted it, he must be the female lead.

"The heroine."

"He was willing to give it, and I invested according to his requirements."

The meaning of this sentence is that as long as the director gives him the role of the female lead, even if the director asks for a huge sum of money, he will pay it.

"Mr. Gu, who are you planning to cast as the female lead?" the assistant asked curiously.

With such a big deal, no matter how good Gu Ziming is to his lover, there is a limit. Could it be that the little star Gu Shaoxin has fallen in love with is so fascinated that he plans to flatter her.

"Qiao Man." After Gu Ziming finished speaking, he walked out of the office.

The assistant watched Gu Ziming leave blankly. To be honest, Gu Ziming was not optimistic about this marriage for the assistant who had been by his side.

Over the years, Mr. Gu has had many women, each one more beautiful and younger than the last. Qiao Man is good-looking and has been with Mr. Gu for a long time, but she is getting older.

I don't know what kind of good luck she had, and she suddenly got married to Mr. Gu. Even now, the assistant thinks that this is all her fantasy.

Qiao Man is still Gu Ziming's lover.

However, no matter what, Gu Ziming is willing to spend huge sums of money to train Qiao Man. No matter how old Qiao Man is, she will become popular.

Gu Ziming arrived in ten minutes. The old lady was waiting at home. He had to hurry up.

As soon as he walked in, the smell of rice hit his nostrils.

Qiao Man had already prepared the meal and came out with the dishes and bowls. He looked around and saw no old lady.

"Where's grandma?" Gu Ziming asked.

Qiao Man said, "I just left."

After Mrs. Gu finished calling Gu Ziming, she said she was going to the Gu family to see the baby and left.

Qiao Man knew that Mrs. Gu deliberately called Gu Ziming back to cultivate feelings with her.

However, Qiao Man felt like a mirror in her heart. In her marriage with Gu Ziming, she lacked nothing but love.

Gu Ziming didn't love her and couldn't take her into his heart.

"Grandma, too." Gu Ziming said unhappily, called him back, but then left.

"Yes." Qiao Man responded, lowering her head and not looking at Gu Ziming.

I think Gu Ziming will leave immediately when he sees that Mrs. Gu is not here.

Gu Ziming didn't leave. He turned to look at the food on the table. They were all home-cooked dishes, but they smelled delicious.

"Did you burn it?" When Gu Ziming asked, he took off his coat on the chair and sat at the dining table.

Qiao Man took out the bowl and answered Gu Ziming's question.

"Um."

Gu Ziming looked at Qiao Man strangely, thinking it was strange that Qiao Man could cook.

The actor is very protective of his skin and fingers, how can he cook! He put a bite of the dish into his mouth and found it tasted good.

"I didn't expect that you made it delicious."

Gu Ziming smiled and praised.

He usually laughs, but not sincerely like this.

Qiao Man was distracted. Her eyes fell on Gu Ziming's face. Gu Ziming noticed it and turned to look at her.

"What are you looking at?"

he asked.

"No!" Qiao Man replied.

It was awkward for two people who communicated a lot except in bed to sit together and chat.

Gu Ziming asked Qiao Man first, "You usually cook by yourself."

"Not now." Qiao Man replied, "When I was with my sister, I always did it."

This was the first time I heard Qiao Man mention her family.

Qiao Man knew a lot about Gu Ziming's family, but Gu Ziming knew very little about her.

"Besides your sister, who else is there in your family?"

"Just sister." Qiao Man replied. She missed her sister because of Gu Ziming's problem.

It has been six years since she left Jingcheng. In these six years, she has not been back.

Her sister is married, and it is no longer appropriate for her to live with her sister.

"Huh? Your parents?" Gu Ziming lowered his voice. He wanted to ask Qiao Man if her parents had passed away.

Qiao Man raised the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly.

"They're divorced."

"divorced?"

"Um!"

Qiao Man said, "Their relationship broke down, so they divorced very early. My sister and I are girls, and my father didn't want it. He planned to get married again and have a son, so we followed him and it was a lot of pressure."

"My mother took us with her because she was afraid that we would drag her down and find another place."

Divorce was originally very harmful to the children. Listening to Qiao Man speaking so lightly, Gu Ziming felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

His parents were not divorced, but they died young. He is also a child without a father and mother. Fortunately, his grandparents and Gu Mocheng are very good to him.
