The hotel room was dimly lit.
On the large bed, Mu Yan twisted her body restlessly.
The excessive alcohol left her with a severe headache and a limp body.
She took a deep breath and saw, from the corner of her eye, two people standing by the bed.
It was the film queen Zhou Lifen and her agent Chen Fang.
It was getting late, she should be heading back.
She propped herself up with her hands on the bed, ready to get up, when an impatient female voice sounded.
"Looking at her like this, she should be about done, right?"
Mu Yan paused her movement, what did Zhou Lifen mean by that?
Tonight, she had received a call from Chen Fang to come to the hotel to pick them up.
Unexpectedly, upon arrival, Zhou Lifen insisted that she meet producers and directors.
As a result, she was plied with a lot of alcohol.
Her drinking tolerance was average, and before long she felt dizzy, ultimately being brought here by them.
Chen Fang glanced at Mu Yan and sighed softly, "Such a pretty girl, yet Director Zhu gets to have her at a bargain, such a pity."
"What, you feel sorry for her?" Zhou Lifen's tone was unfriendly.
"How could I." Chen Fang quickly said, "She is your stunt double in the first place; that's her duty."
Mentioning this matter, Zhou Lifen got angry, "That fat pig actually wants me to accompany him for a night before he'll give me the role, doesn't he look in the mirror to see what he's like, it's like a toad lusting after a swan's flesh!"
"Alright, don't be angry." Chen Fang comforted, "By offering such a generous gift, Director Zhu will surely give you the lead role."
Zhou Lifen didn't say a word, which was tacit approval.
She looked at the "unconscious" woman on the bed, her tone scornful, "Aren't you short on money for your brother's medical bills? Please Director Zhu well, and you'll have money. I'm helping you here, no need to be overly thankful."
Probably because she relied on Mu Yan being unconscious, she spoke with no restraint.
If the room had better lighting, she would surely have noticed the white sheets being tugged into creases.
Mu Yan, at this moment, felt struck by lightning, Zhou Lifen and Chen Fang actually planned to deliver her to a man's bed in exchange for a role.
Even if she hadn't been pleasing Zhou Lifen, she had been working diligently for the past six months, why did she deserve such treatment?
Just as she was about to get up and expose their true nature, Chen Fang suddenly spoke.
"Lifei, I've always been curious, why did you spend money to help her brother with the medical bills when you have no relation to her?"
Mu Yan's heart sank a little, could there be more to this matter?
"Help her? Don't be mistaken." Zhou Lifen chuckled softly, "I spent only three hundred thousand, and made a rising star give up a promising career to be my stunt double for half a year without taking a cent of salary, it's her who helped me."
Chen Fang was somewhat surprised, "You mean..."
"When I heard the rumors that Director Chen favored her pure looks and wanted to cast her as a lead actress, I noticed her."
Chen Fang knew which movie Zhou Lifen was talking about, it was said that the lead actress had not been confirmed yet, but it was only a matter of time before it was Lifei's prize.
"So, you plotted to make her your stunt double in order to sideline her?"
She took out her phone to check the time and immediately urged, "Ah, it's about time, we need to leave, running into Director Zhu wouldn't be good."
Zhou Lifen nodded and turned to leave.
She thought of Chen Fang's question and looked at Mu Yan on the bed indifferently, "Of course it's not that simple, all of this is because she offended someone she shouldn't have."
