“””Chuchu is really smart, but you can’t just learn computer science. You need to focus on personal development too.”” Gu Manxi stroked the child’s soft hair. This child’s IQ and ability were similar to her father’s. She had been smart since she was young. ”
“Gu Chu nodded. “”Okay.”” ”
“It was rare for Gu Manxi to have time today, so she wanted to cook for the child personally. Zhao Yan was not at home in the afternoon. Zhao Yan accompanied Lin Xiaozhou to the hospital to have his wisdom teeth extracted. Lin Xiaozhou’s had been suffering from inflammation and pain recently because of his wisdom teeth. ”
Gu Chu changed into her shoes and took Manxi’s hand. She accompanied her to the supermarket nearby to buy vegetables.
“Gu Manxi was now a popular female celebrity. She had to wear a hat and a mask whenever she went out, otherwise she would attract unwanted attention. Fortunately, there were not many people in the supermarket today. Gu Chu was holding a box of eggs while Gu Manxi was carrying vegetables and fish. After shopping, she left the supermarket. ”
The mother and daughter walked by the roadside.
“””Mama, I want to eat pickled fish and fried clams tonight,”” Gu Chu said happily while holding the eggs. ”
“Gu Manxi smiled and said, “”Sure, whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you.”” ”
“Gu Chu asked again, “”Mama, Uncle Song said that he would come over for dinner tonight. You were at the supermarket at that time paying the bill and didn’t see Uncle Song’s text message, so he sent me a text message.”” ”
“Gu Manxi was stunned for a moment. Alright, I’ll add another pair of chopsticks tonight. ”
“Gu Manxi recalled that one of Song Chen’s favorite dishes was braised eggplant. Gu Manxi thought for a moment and said to Gu Chu, “”Chuchu, send a text message to Uncle Song. Tell him to come over early today and buy a kilo of eggplant.”” ”
“Gu Chu: “”Okay.”” ”
“Gu Manxi and Gu Chu returned to the apartment. At the entrance of the courtyard, they saw a familiar figure. It was Lu Shanhe. ”
“Lu Shanhe also saw Gu Manxi from afar. He quickly put down his phone and ran over. He carried the shopping bag for Gu Manxi and said anxiously, “”Manxi, you’re back just in time. I have something to tell you.”” ”
“Gu Manxi saw his anxious expression and said, “”Mr. Lu, don’t be anxious. Let’s talk inside.”” ”
Lu Shanhe sighed and frowned.
“After entering the house, Gu Manxi put the vegetables into the kitchen and poured Lu Shanhe a glass of water. “”What happened? You look so anxious.”” ”
Gu Chu pricked up her ears as well.
“Lu Shanhe rubbed his temples and said irritably, “”There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that ‘The Return of Spring Breeze’ has been shortlisted for the Clear Sky Award and has three awards lined up.”” ”
“Gu Manxi said, “”Isn’t that... a good thing?”” ”
It was a great honor to be shortlisted for a world-class film award.
“Lu Shanhe frowned. “”We were shortlisted for the Best Actor, Best Script, and Best Director awards this time! There was originally a nomination for ‘Best Actress’, but it was canceled!”” ”
“””Canceled?”” Gu Manxi was puzzled. ”
How could the list of nominees for Best Actress be canceled?
Lu Shanhe was furious!
He took out his phone and showed Gu Manxi the gossip that had just appeared.
The bright red headlines of the gossip were:
“””Newly-promoted actress Gu Manxi and Director Lu Shanhe’s relationship has been exposed, and they have been in and out of the hotel many times.”” ”
“””Insiders revealed: Gu Manxi has long been in love with Lu Shanhe.”” ”
...
“Not long after the gossip broke out, there were also many photos of Gu Manxi and Lu Shanhe entering and leaving the hotel! The two of them were together and looked very intimate. After the judges of the Clear Sky Awards heard the news, they determined that Gu Manxi had gotten the role because of her connections. ”
“Although she had contributed excellent acting skills, her character was not good and she should not have been nominated. ”
