eft, followed by Ye Feimo, Su Ran, and Lin Diyun.Tang Shuwen also went with them. Chen Xier grabbed his hand in fear, and Tang Shuwen turned around to kiss her lips lightly, "Don't worry, I will defin...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO Finale 687

Chen Xueru pushed open the door to the private room. Cai Xiaojing was already singing, with Mandong and Gao Chunmiao providing accompaniment nearby; the atmosphere was lively and warm. Chen Xueru sat down with them after they had finished a song and turned down the volume slightly.

Gao Chunmiao was wearing short sleeves but she was sweating profusely. Although A City's weather was spring-like year-round, it could still be chilly in February; yet she was drenched in sweat. She sat down carelessly, opened a beer and started drinking, "Warming, you left with Ye Director yesterday, did anything happen You know..."

Warming blushed, "Look like you all planned on interrogating me, the first thing out of your mouths was this question. Don't be tactful."

"What's there to be tactful about We're familiar with your ways; speak up! How did you come to want to get back together again Nobody could convince you when you were getting divorced, yet now you've returned. What happened then" Gao Chunmiao said, she was very curious about Warming’s romantic entanglements. To be fair, everyone in A City was equally curious, who wouldn't want to know the truth behind Ye Family's wife and second young master

Warming didn’t want to talk about such things as it would only lead to more gossip and they'd just call her foolish for not knowing better. She simply stated that she had lost a child and was depressed, unable to forgive Ye Nimo no matter how hard she tried, so she decided on divorce. That was all.

Cai Xiaojing said, "When you were getting divorced, Director Ye suddenly fell ill with stomach cancer; everyone in the circle who knew about it thought you left him because of his illness. Now that you've returned, there's going to be a lot more gossip."

With Ye Nimo’s condition improving now, Warming coming back at this time naturally led to speculations. Warming wasn't afraid; she had anticipated such situations and was willing to face the pressure.

No matter what anyone said, they were going to spend their lives together in the end. As long as he remained faithful to her, no matter how many obstacles or doubts there might be, she would overcome them.

Warming said, "What others say doesn't concern me; I can’t control that. All I need is for myself to know."

"You've been away a whole year and yet you're so confident in Director Ye. Do you know what Xu Wenhui..."

Cai Xiaojing nudged Gao Chunmiao's foot from behind. Gao Chunmiao frowned, saying, "Xiaojing姐, why did you kick me As good friends, I naturally want to inform Warming of everything. I'm not trying to stir up trouble; that’s exactly how things happened. Telling Warming will give her a better understanding and she can think it over herself. If she really wants to be with Director Ye, shouldn't she clear this up Otherwise there would always be an unresolved issue, why hide it"

Chen Xueru drank some juice while Warming smiled faintly, Cai Xiaojing shook her head and Tang Mandong said, "Gao Chunmiao is right. Warming, back then Director Ye took Xu Wenhui to the hotel, on Christmas Eve night they were together for a whole day."

Cai Xijing said calmly, "I see these two young girls are innocent and pure. Once a couple gets divorced, they go their separate ways. If Ye Total really has something with Xu Wenhui, what's the big deal"

Warming smiled while looking down, she indeed had no intention of forcing anyone. Gao Chunmiao pouted her lips and Warming chuckled as she said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. He told me yesterday that I don't mind it."

Cai Xijing clapped her hands together, "Then everyone is happy. By the way, before Lin Ning asked you today, do you have any intention to shoot a TV drama adaptation of 'Beauty Besieged by the City'"

Tang Mandong loved 'Beauty Besieged by the City', so she was very excited when she heard this and pulled Cai Xijing to ask, "When did this happen Is it true Are you sure I love that movie."

Cai Xijing nodded. Chen Xu'ru didn't know about this news either and asked her, "Directed by Lin Ning Isn’t he not a TV drama director"

"It's Director Chen from the Strange Film Company. He has been very successful in directing similar types of TV dramas. Currently, they are raising funds for it, and the script was written together by Lin Ning and Chen Xiaoyue. He just asked me to see if you have any interest. After all, this is your debut."

Chen Xu'ru said, "That's strange; I didn't even know that Lin Ning writes TV drama scripts."

"Yes, he does write them but never puts his name on them, only Chen Xiaoyue," Cai Xijing replied. Everyone knew that Chen Xiaoyue was a talented female screenwriter in the television industry, and her TV dramas were all top-rated with great reviews. They didn’t know Lin Ning had also been involved here until Cai Xijing told them; it turned out Chen Xiaoyue is Lin Ning’s cousin. Chen Xu'ru shook her head while smiling, "He really hides his talent well. He writes movie scripts smoothly and TV drama scripts smoothly too. No wonder I sometimes feel that Chen Xiaoyue's works are very grand."

Tang Mandong said, "I’ll graduate soon, my internships have almost ended, can’t they let me direct it"

Everyone: "..."

Gao Chunmiao laughed and pushed her aside, "Can you or can't you"

"Get lost!" Tang Mandong was annoyed. "My internship grades are top-notch, my academic scores are also excellent, what is there that I can’t do Fine, I’ll talk to my brother later about investing so I can direct it; haven’t the funds arrived yet"

Cai Xijing said, "Indeed they haven't arrived yet, but for this matter... will you be co-directing with Director Chen or taking on the role alone"

"If it's a solo project, losing money is my brother's problem," Tang Mandong said. "Oh, curse of the black crow, I'm sure my film won't lose money; it will definitely be a hit across China! Have you and Director Chen discussed this with Lin Ning"

"Director Chen and Lin Ning mentioned they wanted to make this movie, but Lin Ning hasn’t agreed yet. He’s currently writing the script. Lin Ning plans to give him the finished script; if he likes it, then it’ll proceed. However, since Lin Ning asked him for funding support, that’s already tacit agreement. If you want it now, it might be a bit difficult to say no unless you co-direct with Director Chen, which isn’t hard. Besides, as a new graduate from the directing program, your ambitions shouldn't be so high yet. You should practice first," Cai Xiaojing laughed and said. The industry is quite small; if this news spreads, it would be difficult for Lin Ning to handle the situation since he doesn’t mind offending people, but once he agrees to something, going back on his word isn’t good.

Tang Mandong wasn't an unreasonable person, but she loved that film so much. "Isn't this simple With City’s reputation and Brother Lin's script, it must be great. Why give such a golden opportunity away Wouldn’t it be better if we made it ourselves If Director Chen has issues with it, what about the sequel to Princess Qinglian We could gift him that for free or buy his favor with some personal investment. There will always be opportunities where I can pay back. As long as my debut work is City, I’d be content. Sister Xiaojing, mention this to Brother Lin tonight, okay You know about my capabilities; filming a TV drama wouldn’t be an issue for me. Oh right, Mr. Ye would surely agree since I’m so meticulous and he only invested so little. If it’s short of funds, I’ll dig into my own pocket or ask my brother for help – he will definitely approve," said Tang Mandong.

Chen Xier couldn’t laugh or cry while Cai Xiaojing found the plan quite reliable upon hearing this: "Alright, I'll mention it to him."

Tang Mandong was thrilled and clapped her hands. She then turned around to grab Nuanran: "Come on, you’re our lead actress now; no backing out."

"Me" Nuanran pointed at herself with a finger, finding it difficult since she didn’t plan to take up any TV dramas within China. Cai Xiaojing understood her reluctance and explained the situation to Tang Mandong too; if this happened one year earlier, casting Nuanran wouldn’t be an issue, but now... indeed there were some problems.

Tang Mandong said: "When we chose our majors, you promised me your debut would feature you. So don't back out on me now. Additionally, shooting a TV drama is good for maintaining fame too; my first film deserves your support."

Nuanran smiled knowing she couldn’t refuse Tang Mandong’s request: "Give me a role, whether in one or two episodes, and I'll perform as a supporting actor."

"No can do. Are you really not shooting any TV dramas from now on" asked Tang Mandong.

Chen Xier said: "Mandong, Nuanran graduated only last October; the timing might be off."

"Timing isn’t an issue! Script preparation takes one to two months at least. Casting actors and rehearsing for several months is quite normal—I’m afraid we won’t even start filming by October." Tang Mandong insisted on making Nuanran the main actress.

It's rare for a movie and TV drama with the same title to share the exact lead actor.

"Got it. You don't need to rush me; I have my own plans. If you can’t find anyone else, I’ll step in as your backup."

"Haha, then it's a deal, what backup I won't consider anyone else," Tang Mandong laughed heartily.

Wenran pursed her lips. Cai Xiaojing glanced at her and shook her head with a smile. Gao Chunmiao clapped her hands, already excited to be an extra actor. Looking at their enthusiasm, Cai Xiaojing and Chen Xueru felt particularly envious.

Being young is truly wonderful.

The group played late into the night, Ye Feimo came to send Wenran back to the Wen family; it was already midnight. It wasn't convenient for him to go in, he held her hand, somewhat reluctant, as if they were just dating all over again.

Saying goodbye is always hard.

"Be careful on your way home, I'm going inside now, I feel a bit sleepy today."

"Come have lunch with me tomorrow at noon."

Wenran thought for a moment, "I don't have any plans for tomorrow, but I need to ask Brother. If he doesn't need my company, then I'll come find you."

Ye Feimo was unhappy, "So now I'm behind him in line"

"We're not in a hurry, Brother rarely comes over once, I should take good care of him to have fun. But I think he probably doesn't need me either." Wenran chuckled, and Ye Feimo shook his head lightly, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead, "Go inside now, see you tomorrow."

"You go first, I'll enter later."

"You should go in first."

"You drive off first."time with them before getting married later. Therefore, Chuchu's life was quite pitiful—half the year spent with Chu Li and Rong Yan, and half with Zhou Muhuan. This time their stay in Riyadh would be...
