Chapter 1005: Driven Away

Translator: Lan_ Editor: Efydatia

William, who did not care about politeness, just entered the house. Although the inside was not luxurious, it was warm. There was a lot of attention to detail, from the mat at the entrance to the soft carpet on the floor. The furniture showed the high standards of the couple’s life.

After waiting anxiously for two months though, William had no time to appreciate their perfect house. He was only concentrated on Qin Guan.

“When will you travel to America, Mr. Qin?”

“America? Why? Did I promise you that I would go to America? Okay, let’s talk about this. I must wait for my baby and wife to recover one month after the birth. Oh, no. I also have to attend the baby’s 100-day celebration. As you know, that’s a very important day for Chinese children.”

That would be in 2009. Is that right?

William felt like crying, yet he couldn’t produce any tears. The award-winning actor was shamelessly telling him that he would not go to America or shoot the film!

Before Qin Guan could pull all his hair off, Cong Nianwei said gently, all the while caressing her underbelly, “You can go to America, Qin Guan.” What? Am I dreaming? Wow! Is that an angel I see? She must be an angel! Cong Nianwei pushed Qin Guan away. “Wouldn’t this be Qin Guan’s first superhero film?”

“Yes. It would be the first time Qin Guan would get a chance to act in a Hollywood blockbuster that uses special effects.”

“I heard that many famous actors were interested in the role before you chose Qin Guan to play the Joker.”

“Yes, a lot of outstanding actors were interested in the part.”

“Thank you for being kind to my husband. As his wife, I have to support his career. By the way, if the film is popular, will your company promote it for the Oscars?”

“Of course!”

William raised his voice. He knew that this was a key point to solving the problem. Only this argument could convince the lady.

Nothing was important for Qin Guan, but winning an Oscar was an obsession of his. If there wasn’t an important award on the table, he wouldn’t leave China.

Cong Nianwei nodded. “I agree. Qin Guan will join you immediately. If I am not wrong, your crew must have already gotten to work.”

She was right. That was why William had aged 10 years while looking for Qin Guan. The film had a budget of 100 million dollars. If “I Am Legend” could earn nearly 600 million dollars, then so could Batman. The film’s box office would be really high!

I have to stop salivating!

Qin Guan was confused. Ten minutes earlier, he had been squeezing juice for Cong Nianwei, yet suddenly he had been kicked off to America!

“I can’t leave you home alone, darling!”

“Did you forget? Our parents will be coming to Beijing today!”

“Weiwei, I’m here! We’ve brought you plenty of snacks!” Cong Nianwei’s father entered the house, holding packages with local specialties. Qin Guan’s parents followed him in joyfully.

Qin Guan was caught off guard.

“Dad, mom! What are you doing here?”

“Why are you asking?” Cong Nanwei’s father stared at him. “I don’t need your approval to see my own daughter. What are you doing here? Don’t you need to work? A man should work hard to support his wife and kids. I heard that you suspended all your work, which I find completely unnecessary. Now that we are here, we can take care of Cong Nianwei. Go earn some money to buy your baby some milk powder!”
