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.
