Chapter 29
Who Is This Woman?
It was Zang Senyan.
He took the script and looked at Ning Mengmeng with interest. “Don’t you need to look at the script again?”
Ning Mengmeng looked at Zang Senyan and saw that his peach blossom eyes were full of smiles. He even mouthed something to her. Ning Mengmeng’s pupils constricted. She understood that the last two words were ‘Second sister-in-law’.
Director Guo glanced at Ning Mengmeng but did not say anything. This role was very important and Director Guo was very satisfied with Ning Mengmeng’s appearance. He was willing to give her a chance.
However… Director Guo immediately felt that something was wrong. He immediately turned his head and glanced at Zang Senyan. The other staff members in the room also looked at Zang Senyan in surprise.
One had to know that although Zang Senyan seemed to be smiling at everyone, his heart was actually harder than a rock. He was even a germaphobe and never let anyone get close to him.
Moreover, he was definitely not enthusiastic!
Not to mention to a newcomer who had never stepped into the industry before?
Director Guo subconsciously picked up Ning Mengmeng’s information, but he could not find anything wrong with it.
Ning Mengmeng touched the tip of her nose and could only pretend to be humble and ask for advice. “I’ve already seen this before I came. Thank you, Senior.”
Seeing Ning Mengmeng bow to him, Zang Senyan’s smile cracked a little. It wasn’t that he didn’t see the light in Ning Mengmeng’s eyes!
If Second Brother knew that Ning Mengmeng called him senior, his skin would probably be peeled off.
Director Guo raised his eyebrows. It was rare for him to be interested. He had always been looking forward to the third female lead. After thinking about it, he looked at Zang Senyan. “Why don’t you try acting with her?”
Zang Senyan was invited by Director Guo to play the male lead, so he had to be the one to choose the person who would act with him.
Zang Senyan looked like he was easy to talk to. He smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
Director Guo was speechless.
He didn’t have much hope when he said that just now.
Who was this woman? Not simple?
Director Guo narrowed his eyes and started to size up Ning Mengmeng again.
Then, he saw Zang Senyan walking toward Ning Mengmeng with a smile on his face.
“Let’s begin.”
Ning Mengmeng nodded.
Everyone’s eyes were on Ning Mengmeng.
The little girl who was still smiling and had a calm aura a moment ago suddenly transformed into a calm, reserved, jealous, and sad third female lead.
The desolation in her eyes seemed to be fully displayed as she stared straight at Zang Senyan.
“Why?”
However, these three words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. There was anger and disbelief, but no doubt.
It was a deep love for the male lead, just like… she was willing to be used, but… she just wanted to know the answer.
Zang Senyan was still very easy-going just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had turned into an experienced, cold, and black-bellied emperor.
He placed his hands behind his back, but his cold eyes were mixed with a few complicated emotions.
“They are just chess pieces. What do you want me to tell you?”
Ning Mengmeng’s body trembled violently, but she eventually closed her eyes as tears poured down her face.
Her lips curled into a beautiful smile as she repeated, “Yes, it’s just a chess piece.”
She laughed out loud, her tears still rolling down her cheeks. She had sacrificed so much for him, but in the end, she could not escape from dying for him.
Zang Senyan stared at her, more and more emotions surging in his eyes, but his face was cold and emotionless.
Ning Mengmeng’s voice was light but carried a force that could not be ignored. “This is good too. At least I’m free now. I don’t have to face you anymore. I don’t have to ask myself every day if you’ve ever had feelings for me for a moment. I don’t have to worry about whether it will affect you when I want to do something. I don’t have to…”
