Chapter 519: Zhou Manning’s Scheme (1)
In Xiao Gao’s opinion, Sister Zhou’s fondness for Movie Emperor Xie had come out of nowhere, but she was naturally worthy of him. Xiao Gao also liked Movie Emperor Xie very much, and he said, “Sister Zhou, I think Movie Emperor Xie is a very conservative and especially sentimental person. As long as you persist in trying to move him, or establish a connection with him, you don’t have to worry about him not taking responsibility!”
But he felt that Sister Zhou didn’t have to lower herself at all.
Zhou Manning, on the other hand, was enlightened by a clueless Xiao Gao’s words. Her originally unsightly face returned to its usual gentle expression, but however one looked at it, it seemed fake. When Zhou Manning flirted with Xie Mingxuan before, she had met with setbacks at every turn. Previously, Perfected Wu told her to snag Xie Mingxuan in a few days and make him dead set on her. Her heart thumped.
As expected, Xie Mingxuan was a tough nut to crack, so Zhou Manning could only find a way to force him to take responsibility. Zhou Manning was still a bit worried. She looked at Xiao Gao and asked, “You’re saying that Movie Emperor Xie is a very sentimental person?”
Xiao Gao immediately nodded. “Sister Zhou, Movie Emperor Xie is really a very good person. When his family was in trouble in the past, his father had all sorts of gambling debts, but Movie Emperor Xie didn’t say anything, and took them all on. After that, he still didn’t refuse to support his father. He also has a sister. I heard that he’s also especially good to her and always thinks of her first. I also heard from Director Li that as soon as Movie Emperor Xie receives a reward, he immediately transfers most of the money to his sister and her child the next day! He’s especially reliable!”
After listening to Xiao Gao, the smile on Zhou Manning’s face grew wider and wider.
If Xie Mingxuan really valued relationships so much, that was great! It was easier to snag someone who valued relationships! If she accidentally “created” a child, she didn’t believe she wouldn’t be able to get Xie Mingxuan!
Zhou Manning’s irritable expression from earlier disappeared. Her face was very gentle, and she even gave Xiao Gao a bonus for this month, making him very happy.
After sending Xiao Gao away, Zhou Manning received a call from Yang Zhaoning, and was very solicitous. “Celestial Master Yang!”
“Miss Zhou, how are things coming along?”
Ever since Zhou Manning found out that this malicious ghost, Zhou Manqing, wasn’t dead, she was worried that the ghost would come to her door at any time. Thinking of how Perfected Wu said that she wouldn’t live past next week, Zhou Manning was terrified. “Celestial Master Yang, may I ask when will Perfected Wu eliminate that malicious ghost? If she suddenly comes to my door, I…”
Yang Zhaoning interrupted Zhou Manning. “Miss Zhou, as long as you have that high-level Pure Yang Talisman that my master gave you, that malicious ghost won’t be able to touch you even if it wants to kill you. I just hope that you can work faster. As for that malicious ghost, my master and I will find its nest as soon as possible and directly finish her off for you! As for Xie Mingxuan, we’ll give you another month. If you don’t make any progress in a month, my master and I won’t be able to help you borrow luck!”
After Yang Zhaoning hung up, Zhou Manning panicked. It was said that a great man had to be ruthless. She had even dared to kill someone back then; she was willing to take a risk for a mere Xie Mingxuan.
Because of Yang Zhaoning’s call, Zhou Manning fawned even more on Xie Mingxuan. No matter how cold Xie Mingxuan’s face was, Zhou Manning seemed infatuated. She ignored everyone else’s gazes and insisted on pursuing Xie Mingxuan as she confessed boldly to him. Knowing that Director Li had some thoughts about Xie Mingxuan getting married, she even acted in front of Director Li from time to time, feigning the appearance of a rare, devoted girl.
In the eyes of others, Zhou Manning did indeed seem infatuated, but in Xie Mingxuan’s eyes, this woman was acting too aggressively. There had to be a reason for her abnormal behavior. He now very much suspected that she had another motive for sticking so closely to him. That evening, Zhou Manning took advantage of the fact that the production crew wasn’t as busy, and organized a party.
Director Li was in a good mood and agreed. After Xie Mingxuan finished filming, Zhou Manning came over and handed him a glass of water as she asked gently, “Mingxuan, are you tired?”
