Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 584: The Ex-Wife Comes (5)

A few drops landed on her chest, and quite fortuitously, some also hit the director’s light-colored shirt.

"You!" Director Wei’s face immediately turned sour. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I’m sorry," Lu Wanwan said, not planning to give him a chance to entangle her any further. After a cold apology, she quickly walked away.

"You stop right there!"

"Director Wei, hello." Just as Director Wei prepared to pursue her, Shuman conveniently appeared in front of him.

On seeing her, Director Wei recalled this woman to be the one who was just beside Gu Annan earlier.

Word had it that she might be the future Young Madam of the Gu Family.

He immediately chuckled, wiping himself with a tissue, "I apologize for the scene earlier. Now some people, I don’t know where their arrogance comes from, are so impolite after just a few words."

When facing others, Shuman’s smile was merely proper and aloof, even carrying a hint of snobbish status.

"Is Director Wei still selecting actors?" she asked, curling her lips slightly.

Director Wei glanced at her, finding this woman to be quite attractive.

While not as spirited and stunning as the one just now, her demeanor fit very well with the female supporting role he had in mind.

"Miss Shu, are you also interested?" Director Wei asked with a smile.

Shuman lifted her chin slightly, replying with a smile, "Interested? I have no interest whatsoever in the entertainment industry. However, the Gu family is considering investing in a major film recently."

Director Wei’s eyes lit up—was the Gu Family looking to make money from the recent film craze?

This piece of news was even better than having Gu Annan’s future wife star in his movie.

"Mr. Gu, is he truly interested?"

"He does have some intentions toward investing in a major film, but whether he’s interested in Director Wei’s new project remains to be discussed."

"Is Mr. Gu interested in discussing it now?" asked Director Wei, his eyes gleaming.

Turning around to lead him to Gu Annan, Shuman was about to do just that.

To her surprise, Gu Annan had already disappeared from where he just stood.

Lu Wanwan went to the restroom to wipe the bit of red wine that had gotten on her chest.

It was not as easy to clean off the clothes as it was the skin, but luckily it was black and not so noticeable—still, there was a slightly obvious damp spot.

The entertainment circle surely was a tricky place; it didn’t take long for their true colors to show.

She absorbed some of the wine with a dry paper towel, already contemplating whether she should leave early.

But thinking of work, leaving like that would involve some loss.

The hall of the reception was very spacious; if she kept her distance from that director, she shouldn’t encounter him again.

To avoid Director Wei, she had initially chosen the upstairs restroom and figured that as long as she did not go downstairs, it was unlikely that he would trouble her over a slight like hers.

The sound of high heels approached from behind—coming out of the restroom and heading to the makeup area, the woman who saw Lu Wanwan’s face in the mirror abruptly stopped.

"Why is it you?"

Without turning around, Lu Wanwan saw through the mirror that the person was none other than Gu Yunsi, whom she had encountered yesterday, Gu Annan’s cousin.

Her tone was challenging from the very start, signaling that her anger had not yet subsided.

However, it was best to avoid trouble with the Gu Family whenever possible, so she decided not to engage.

"You are here as well, who are you?" Gu Yunsi knew that those who attended were no ordinary people.

But as Gu Annan’s cousin, she, of course, was not afraid of anything.

"I apologize, but I must excuse myself," Lu Wanwan responded, not ignoring her but also not intending to confront her further.

Having said that, she walked out of the restroom.

Exiting through the curved doorway, there stood a tall and straight dark figure in the corridor, whose cold and domineering presence demanded attention from anyone.
