Volume 2 Chapter 1361: Losing Concentration

Tang Linglong followed Qiao Man, really afraid that Qiao Man wouldn't be able to bear the looks some people gave her, so she would lower her face and leave on the spot.

Fortunately, Qiao Man didn't.

This is the way this circle is. It's impossible for everyone to curry favor with you because of your identity, unless you reach the level of Gu Mocheng.

Since you are not in that position, you still have to endure it when you should.

When Tang Linglong pulled Qiao Man to help her introduce the director, there was a sudden commotion in the banquet hall. They passed through the crowd and saw Gu Ziming coming in with a woman in his arms.

It's bad!

Tang Linglong turned to look at Qiao Man and asked, "I was just wondering why you came alone? Does Young Master Gu have a new love?"

Qiao Man watched Gu Ziming come over with his arms around the woman with a smile on his face. When he appeared, everyone else at the banquet gathered around him.

She looked over there and did not answer Tang Linglong's words.

Seeing Gu Ziming coming over with his female companion in his arms, Qiao Man expected this. He, Gu Ziming, has many women, and without her, there will be others. She was just like he said, just one of the women he raised.

Although she thought so, Qiao Man felt depressed and uncomfortable.

"Do you like him?" Tang Linglong's voice came to her ears. Qiao Man was startled. She turned her head and met Tang Linglong's eyes.

Tang Linglong looked at her seriously and her eyes were firm.

This is not asking Qiao Man, but stating a fact.

"No." Qiao Man said quietly.

"A person's eyes can't deceive others." Tang Linglong said softly while holding a glass of champagne, "I've seen it a long time ago."

"Qiao Man, I can't interfere with who you like. But Gu Ziming." Tang Linglong sighed. She looked at Gu Ziming who was joking with others. In just a moment, many women surrounded Gu Ziming.

One by one, they wanted to throw themselves into his arms.

"If Gu Ziming doesn't bother, I think you have a problem with him. But, he has raised so many people, who has he been serious about? Qiao Man, I hope you don't get into too deep."

As a bystander, Tang Linglong gave advice.

Qiao Man didn't look at Gu Ziming anymore. She said calmly, "I know."

Just knowing that, she forcibly locked the door of her heart.

But does locking it work? Just because you don't think about it doesn't mean you don't fall in love.

Qiao Man walked aside to rest. She sat there and watched Gu Ziming talking to his female companion. I don't think he noticed her presence since he came in.

"Qiao Man!"

A woman walked past Qiao Man. After recognizing her, she said disdainfully, "It's only been a few days, and Gu Ziming brought a female companion with him again today."

"Qiao Man has become an old person so quickly."

"Who doesn't know that Gu Shao loves the new and hates the old? Qiao Man has gained a lot of benefits by following him, otherwise she would have so many commercials to shoot recently."

Their discussion fell into Qiao Man's ears. Qiao Man sat there, asked the waiter for red wine, and sat there drinking glass after glass.

She leaned back on the chair and looked at Gu Ziming, who was smiling and not even giving her the peripheral vision. Her heart became sour, and the movement of drinking wine in her hand became even faster.

"Young Master Gu changed women faster than I thought. I thought you could stay with him for half a year."

While Qiao Man was drinking red wine, a familiar face that disgusted her came into view.

It's Xia Yingying.

When Qiao Man came in, she saw Xia Yingying.

However, Xia Yingying came here today not with Cao Yu, but with another girl. The girl is younger than Cao Yu and more innocent.

Qiao Man was not interested at all in Xia Yingying's affairs.

"Qiao Man, you are so pathetic." Xia Yingying mocked.

When Qiao Man came in, Xia Yingying was very jealous. That person returned to China because of Qiao Man, and came to this banquet because of Qiao Man. As soon as Qiao Man appeared, his eyes were on her.

Unfortunately, while he was hiding in the dark and watching secretly, Qiao Man only had Gu Ziming in her eyes.

"By the way, did the Qiao family call you?" Xia Yingying said with a smile.

After she finished speaking, Qiao Man stared at Xia Yingying with cold eyes.

Needless to say, Xia Yingying must have exposed the matter between herself and Gu Ziming.

Over the years, she had carefully hidden her relationship with Gu Ziming, partly because of her duty as a lover, and partly because she didn't want Jingcheng to find trouble with her, let alone worry her sister.

"According to what I said, you might as well go home and listen to Uncle Qiao and get married." Xia Yingying suggested sarcastically.

"Indeed." Qiao Man replied lightly.

Xia Yingying was stunned, she didn't expect that Qiao Man would reply to her.

Could it be that the Qiao family knew about the relationship between Qiao Man and Gu Ziming and took care of Qiao Man's affairs.

Qiao Man's father remarried and didn't take much care of Qiao Man's two sisters. He even asked Qiao Man not to mention that she was his daughter outside.

"Qiao Man, do you think you can gain a foothold in this circle by climbing up to Gu Ziming?"

"When Gu Ziming doted on you, you were the master. Now that he has dumped you, just wait to be stepped on!"

As long as Xia Yingying thinks that Gu Ziming dumped Qiao Man, she will be happy, "Qiao Man, don't be sad. If you are dumped by Gu Ziming, I can help you introduce other men."

"Oh." Qiao Man responded calmly as she finished the wine in the glass.

When she stood up, she found that her head was starting to feel dizzy.

She doesn't like drinking, but she seemed to have drank more than a bottle of red wine today.

"Xia Yingying, who told you that I was dumped by Gu Ziming!"

Qiao Man said, raising the corners of her mouth and walking towards Gu Ziming in the middle of the banquet.

Step by step, she walked very steadily, not too fast.

"Young Master Gu!" She called in a soft voice as she walked beside Gu Ziming.

As soon as Gu Ziming entered the banquet hall, he saw Qiao Man. She acted as if she didn't recognize him, and he was annoyed and didn't go up to say hello to her.

When he turned around and saw Qiao Man smiling at him, he looked her up and down.

The bright red dress originally made Qiao Man very dazzling. Now she drank a lot of wine, her face turned red and she was charming.

"Young Master Gu!" Seeing that Gu Ziming ignored her, Qiao Man approached and took his arm.

When she touched his hand, Qiao Man's nose felt sore. This was how the woman held his hand just now.

Without her, he would have another woman. She had been with him for five years and originally asked for nothing, but he gave her the opportunity to want more.

When she wanted more, he made her heart freeze again.

Thinking of this, Qiao Man felt even more uncomfortable. She saw Gu Ziming looking at her without saying anything, and she saw people around her holding wine glasses and watching her show.

After Gu Ziming dumped the woman, he would not eat her again.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, Qiao Man is an old person, and they are waiting to see how Gu Ziming pushes Qiao Man away.

Tang Linglong looked at Qiao Man with worry. Even if Qiao Man wanted to please Gu Ziming, she shouldn't be in front of so many people. As soon as Gu Ziming took her hand away, the relationship she had established before was about to break down.

People in the entertainment industry are so realistic!

"Ziming!" Qiao Man said in annoyance when Gu Ziming didn't speak. She was drunk and looked so delicate that Gu Ziming was distracted.
