Chapter 8 (2/2)

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?
