Before long, another limousine pulled into the venue. Mu Chuchu stepped out of the car, surrounded by her assistant and others.
Chen Fang glanced at Mu Chuchu and didn't show the same enthusiasm as he did when he met Song Xiyin earlier.
He never approved of Mu Chuchu's acting skills. But unfortunately, she was recommended by the investor. He had to show some courtesy, so he nodded at her.
At this moment, Yu Nian was standing outside the dressing room, observing the feng shui of the crew. She ran into Mu Chuchu face - to - face.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but Mu Chuchu was wearing a thick overcoat, covering herself from head to toe. She also hugged a thermos cup in her arms.
The moment Mu Chuchu saw Yu Nian, she paused for a second. Then, feigning surprise, she said to her agent with a laugh, "The management of this crew is really getting worse and worse. All kinds of riff - raff can just barge in."
The people around exchanged glances and laughed along, catering to Mu Chuchu.
Mu Chuchu stared at Yu Nian's expression, hoping to see a trace of embarrassment on her face.
Normally, with her status in the entertainment industry, she would have scorned to entangle with Yu Nian.
But recalling how Qing He was so dejected after Yu Nian's father's death, she loathed Yu Nian deeply. If it weren't for Yu Nian, Qing He would never have ended up like this!
Strangely enough, she didn't know what benefits Yu Nian had given to those reporters, but they all refused to take on the jobs of smearing Yu Nian.
This had made her make several fruitless trips and suffer setbacks.
Seeing Yu Nian keep silent, a glint of unwillingness flashed in Mu Chuchu's eyes. "I heard that you've latched onto Feng Chengyuan's coattails and opened a Taoist temple to deceive people?"
Just then, Song Xiyin walked out of the dressing room. She gave Mu Chuchu a sweet smile and said, "Stop being a sour grape. Don't always judge others with your narrow - minded perspective. Yu Nian is different from you. She doesn't need to rely on a big shot because she is a big shot herself. You may want to latch onto someone, but does Mr. Feng even care about you? Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that you once knocked on Feng Chengyuan's door in a bathrobe in the middle of the night and got thrown out."
Mu Chuchu's face stiffened instantly, but she had nothing to retort. She stared daggers at Yu Nian.
Yu Nian had no intention of getting involved in this battle. She just looked at Mu Chuchu with great interest. Without the obstruction of filters and beauty effects on electronic devices, she could finally examine Mu Chuchu's physiognomy carefully.
Mu Chuchu's facial features were very delicate, especially her eyes, which were extremely beautiful. But there was a dead look in her eyes, dull and empty. There were also faint bruises under her eyes, obviously caused by fright.
Although Mu Chuchu was wearing very expensive perfume, if you smelled carefully, you would find that there was something else mixed in the fragrance.
It was the stench of a dying person.
Yu Nian was a bit surprised. After a quick calculation, she sighed softly and was about to leave when Mu Chuchu suddenly blocked her way.
"You're in such a hurry to leave. Could it be that you stole something from the dressing room and are eager to get rid of it?"
Yu Nian stopped abruptly and looked at Mu Chuchu with a deep look in her eyes.
For some reason, Mu Chuchu felt a momentary twinge of guilt. But then she came to her senses. With her popularity and status, why should she be afraid of an 18 - line actress?
So Mu Chuchu said unhappily, "What are you staring at?"
Yu Nian gave Mu Chuchu a calm look and said in a moderate voice, "Instead of wasting your energy on slandering me, you'd better deal with your own problems first."
Yu Nian paused for a moment, then slowly leaned towards Mu Chuchu's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Did you have an abortion last year?"
With a "clatter", the thermos cup in Mu Chuchu's hand fell to the ground. The hot water splashed on her pants. Mu Chuchu took a step back due to the scald, but her eyes were fixed firmly on Yu Nian.
"How do you know that? Who told you?!"
She had kept this news well - sealed. Even her parents didn't know about it, so there was no way it could have leaked out.
Yu Nian pursed her lips and said calmly, "I also know that it was a fully - formed baby girl."
"You've been haunted by nightmares every night recently. There's always a child crying in your dreams."
"Even in the hot summer, you feel as if you're in an ice cellar. It's all because of that child. She resents you deeply. If you don't find someone to deal with this in time, you won't live long."
"Do you want me to continue?"
Mu Chuchu stood there, stunned. The imposing manner she had propped up instantly collapsed. She looked at Yu Nian in panic.
Seeing Mu Chuchu in a state of unease, Yu Nian bent down to pick up the thermos cup. She took out a triangular yellow talisman from her bosom and handed it to Mu Chuchu.
"This talisman can't completely eliminate the resentment. It can only ward off a disaster for you once. Whether you buy it or not is up to you."
Mu Chuchu was taken aback. While hesitating, she saw Yu Nian about to turn away. She panicked a bit and asked, "I'll buy it. How much is this talisman?"
Yu Nian smiled and said, "Five hundred yuan each."
Mu Chuchu hesitated. "Five hundred yuan for a single talisman?"
Yu Nian nodded with a smile. Through her calculation, she knew what Mu Chuchu had done to the original owner. She was too lazy to waste her breath on someone with evil intentions.
Mu Chuchu gritted her teeth and completed the payment by scanning the QR code.
She took the yellow talisman and wanted to ask Yu Nian something else, but saw Yu Nian and Song Xiyin walking away side by side from the dressing room.
After walking a bit further, Song Xiyin laughed and said, "Mu Chuchu looked so ridiculous when she lost face just now. But we haven't figured out the matter of the love gu yet. Why did you just let her go like that?"
Yu Nian said calmly, "She will come back to me on her own initiative."
...
The shooting began.
Mu Chuchu's acting skills were already poor. Coupled with the things on her mind, she was in a daze. In the end, she didn't even know what she was acting.
"Cut!" This was Mu Chuchu's eighteenth NG.
Chen Fang's face was extremely ugly. But due to the face of the investor, he couldn't scold anyone. He could only swallow his anger.
He turned to look at the already half - dark sky and said coldly, "That's all for today's shooting! There's no need for me to say who the problem lies with. Everyone can see it clearly! Go back and adjust your state well. Then think about whether you're cut out for this job!"
After saying this, Mu Chuchu's face flushed instantly. She left in a limousine, absent - minded.
Night fell. Chen Fang had a little drink and returned to the hotel slightly drunk.
The receptionist handed him the room card that the crew had reserved in advance. Chen Fang took a closer look and saw that the room number was "808". He thought the number was quite auspicious and staggered into the elevator to go upstairs.
With a soft "ding", the elevator door slowly opened. He followed the signs to look for his room and finally stopped in front of the last room at the end of the corridor.
For some reason, Chen Fang always felt that there was a cold breeze behind him. He looked around but couldn't find the source of the wind.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear someone talking in the room. The voices were faint and he couldn't make out what they were saying.
Chen Fang was taken aback. Could it be that someone had entered his room in advance?
After he swiped the room card to open the door, a cold wind blew in his face. The room was pitch - black and there was not a single person in sight.
Only then did he feel relieved. After washing up, he lay on the bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he felt a cool sensation on his face, as if something was caressing his face.
Chen Fang opened his eyes abruptly and saw a dark figure sitting at the head of his bed. With the moonlight, he could vaguely tell that it was a person, but he couldn't see the person's face no matter how hard he tried.
Chen Fang let out a scream. The moment he turned on the light, the figure suddenly disappeared.
His palms were all sweaty at this moment. Suddenly, he recalled what Yu Nian had said to him during the day: Don't stay in the last room of the hotel.
Could it be that Yu Nian was really a master from the outside world who could predict the future?
At the same time, there was a sudden "dong dong" sound of knocking on the door outside.
