Chi Yaoxi opened the script again and carefully read through the content. As expected, the second female lead also had many bright points. She decisively agreed to take on this drama and entered the production team that night.

It was a familiar hotel. Once they entered the elevator, Chi Yaoxi pressed the button for the 18th floor. This was a hotel that the crew often rented for filming.

Sister Ming came in with her luggage and changed the floor to the 17th floor.

“We’re staying downstairs this time. The VIP room on the eighteenth floor is reserved for the female lead.”

Chi Yaoxi frowned. She had forgotten about this matter. There was a clear difference between a normal actor’s room and a VIP room, from the living environment to the usual dining and care.

Seeing that Chi Yaoxi was a little unwilling, Sister Ming emphasized to her again, “Missy, I’ve already told you to consider it carefully. We’re taking on the second female lead, and the production team will only arrange for ordinary housing.”

Ordinary housing…?At the thought of this, Chi Yaoxi could not help but frown.

The hotels on the production team’s side were all very old, and the living environment of ordinary rooms was horrible. However, that was three years ago. Hopefully, there won’t be any rats or bugs.

As soon as she entered, she smelled something old. Chi Yaoxi frowned and was about to open the window for ventilation.

Her phone rang. It was an unknown number. Chi Yaoxi hesitated for a moment before picking it up.

“Mommy, mommy, it’s so late, why aren’t you back?” A soft and childish voice came from the other end of the phone.

This made Chi Yaoxi smile instantly. “Chenchen, be good. Mommy just checked into a hotel and has filming work to do. I can’t go back tonight. I’ll play with you after I’m done, okay?”

“Alright then. Mommy, are you staying in a high-class hotel? Remember to miss me when you sleep at night!”

Chi Yaoxi looked around at her surroundings and frowned slightly. “Okay ~ The hotel I’m staying at is average, but Mommy will definitely miss you. Chenchen, be good and go to bed early!”

After putting down the phone, Chenchen rolled his eyes and thought for a moment. He was still worried.?Mommy said that the hotel she stayed in was average. Would the conditions be bad? Would anyone bully her?

The little guy quickly turned on his laptop and started operating it skillfully. Through the omnipotent system that he had pestered his daddy to teach him previously, he found the hotel where his mommy’s production team stayed.

Amongst the list of actors, Chenchen quickly found the name Chi Yaoxi. She was arranged to be on the 17th floor with the other actors.

The little fellow pursed his lips. It was indeed an ordinary room. That would not do. Since she was his mommy, she must enjoy the best treatment and stay in the best room in the hotel.

Chenchen had a serious expression on her face as he made a call to the assistant, Ling Yue.

“Uncle Ling, help my mommy, Chi Yaoxi, change to the best VIP room immediately.”

...

Chi Yaoxi was in a good mood after ending the call with the little fellow. She was just about to unpack her things and wash up when she heard a waiter knock on the door, saying that he had changed her to a VIP room upstairs.

Chi Yaoxi was a little surprised.?Who arranged this? The director??She walked out of the room with her luggage in surprise. The phone rang. Seeing that it was her father’s phone number, Chi Yaoxi could not help but frown.

“Yaoxi, have you had dinner? Why aren’t you coming home? Where are you now?” Her father’s fawning tone came from the other end of the phone. When he came home early in the morning, he was still scolding her. Now, he was pretending to be concerned about her. She knew her father too well. He must have something against her.

“Filming. At the hotel.”Chi Yaoxi answered coldly.

“You’re not coming home? Which hotel are you staying at?” The person on the other end continued to ask.

“Jin City, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.” Chi Yaoxi hung up after saying that. These so-called ‘family members’, apart from mocking and ridiculing her for being useless and unable to bear children, were merely exploiting her. She did not want to contact them anymore.

The elevator arrived. Chi Yaoxi was about to walk in when she saw a familiar figure in the elevator. She stopped in her tracks and stopped at the elevator.

The woman standing in the elevator was wearing heavy makeup. It was Mo Yuzhen, who was playing the female lead in the same production team. This woman was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Chi Yaoxi took two steps back, not wanting to take the elevator with her.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yuzhen walked out with a mocking smile and stared straight at her. “Yo! Aren’t you the future movie queen who is here to be my partner?”

Chi Yaoxi frowned, then curved her lips into a smile. This woman was really crazy. She liked to make enemies everywhere. She already knew that this Mo Yuzhen would often post some articles on the Internet to drag other actresses down, belittle others, and elevate herself. She had even heard from the previous production crew that Mo Yuzhen had treated her as an imaginary enemy because she was too popular.

Chi Yaoxi had always been too lazy to deal with this kind of woman who did not rely on her acting skills and would pull tricks behind her back. She did not even bother to look at her. Chi Yaoxi moved away and took two steps back.

Seeing that Chi Yaoxi actually dared to disregard her existence, Mo Yuzhen’s expression instantly changed from ridicule to vicious provocation. “Why? Do you have to put on such airs? Don’t forget, in this movie, I’m the female lead and you’re only the supporting actress!”

Chi Yaoxi did not care about Mo Yuzhen’s words at all. Towards such a troublesome woman, it was best for her to stay away. Since Mo Yuzhen had already walked out of the elevator, she could enter. Chi Yaoxi was silent as she walked straight into the elevator.

Before she could take two steps, her arm was suddenly pulled back. Mo Yuzhen shot her a vicious look. “I’m talking to you and you still want to leave! Why are you so rude!”

Chi Yaoxi was speechless. She coldly withdrew her hand. “Miss Mo, I don’t seem to know you very well.” She then turned to leave.

But at this moment, Mo Yuzhen staggered backwards in the same posture as her hand. Sensing Mo Yuzhen’s exaggerated actions and feigned pity, Chi Yaoxi instantly understood. Mo Yuzhen was acting! This woman loved to play these tricks in the dark.

She would find a good reporter to hide in a corner in advance, and then deliberately provoke and cause a dispute. She would pretend that the two of them were not on good terms, and then post it out to gain her attention.

How despicable! How could she have her way with such a cheap trick? Chi Yaoxi quickly caught up and reached out to hug Mo Yuzhen, who was about to hit the wall. She even pretended to be very intimate and smiled at her.

Mo Yuzhen did not expect Chi Yaoxi to do this. She was stunned and her expression froze.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward.

Knowing that her scheme had been seen through by Chi Yaoxi and that her move had been seen through, Mo Yuzhen lowered her head and whispered “thank you” before slipping away.

Chi Yaoxi scanned the corner of the corridor, and sure enough, she saw a long camera flash past.

When she reached the VIP room upstairs, Chi Yaoxi felt much better after seeing the familiar environment. She immediately called Sister Ming. Other than talking about changing rooms, she also strongly criticized Mo Yuzhen’s behavior. As Chi Yaoxi spoke, she could not help but laugh. She told her about Mo Yuzhen’s scheme being exposed by her.

When Sister Ming heard this, she became serious. “Yaoxi, don’t be careless. It’s almost time for the selection of the female lead of the year. We have to make sure that no harmful news is leaked!”

Chi Yaoxi quickly replied, “I know, I know. I’ll be very careful.”

“Since when have you been careful? You went to get married without telling anyone. I don’t know about this. Do you know how big of an impact it would have if this gets out! Don’t go out alone. Don’t leave the room. If there’s anything, give me a call first. Don’t let your competitors catch you! “Sister Ming’s attitude was still stern and nervous.

Sigh! Another mention of marriage.?Listening to Sister Ming’s repeated reminders, Chi Yaoxi felt guilty and blushed. She quickly nodded and agreed.

After taking a hot bath, she was about to blow dry her hair and rest when she heard someone knocking on the door. Looking at the time, it was already past ten o’clock. Who else would come in the middle of the night?

Chi Yaoxi stared blankly for a moment, a bit hesitant. There was another rhythmic knocking on the door.

Recalling Sister Ming’s instructions, Chi Yaoxi did not dare to move. She carefully sat at the head of the bed and looked at the door warily without making a sound. The knocking on the door continued incessantly, as if they would not stop until the door was opened.

Who was it??Thinking that the door was already locked, Chi Yue took off her shoes and tiptoed to the door. She looked out of the peephole.

Strange, why was there no one outside? Could it be that the person who knocked on the door had already left??Just as she was thinking, another knock sounded outside the door. Chi Yaoxi hurriedly looked out from the peephole.

The scene outside made Chi Yaoxi gasp and her back turned cold. There was still no one outside.

What was going on? This… this wasn’t an illusion. Why was it that she could only hear sounds and not see anyone??Chi Yaoxi became even more nervous and worried.?Was someone playing a prank on her??But even if someone was up to something, they had to appear. There was no one in the dim corridor outside.

There was a series of knocks on the door. Chi Yaoxi’s heart beat faster. She was nervous and afraid. It was so late at night. Could this be a supernatural incident?
