From as far back as I can remember, my mother was often sick, and always looked haggard and pale.

She had asked her mother before why she was always so prone to illness, while she and her father could stay healthy for years or even longer.

Father sometimes falls and gets injured while hunting, but those wounds always heal quickly. However, when Mother falls ill, she stays sick for a long time.

At first, her mother just smiled and didn't answer. But one time, looking at her daughter nestled against her knees and acting coquettishly, her mother stroked her hair and said with a kind smile, "Mother is different from Oubao and Father. If Mother wants to stay by Oubao's side, she has to eat some unpalatable things. If she doesn't eat those things, Mother will have to leave. Oubao, are you willing to let Mother leave?"

What did she answer back then? She remembered it perfectly. She hugged her mother's waist and acted coquettishly, shaking her head like a rattle drum, "No, no, Oubao doesn't want Mother to leave!"

Hearing her sweet, pleading voice, her mother would always patiently coax her, "Okay, my little darling, Mommy promises you, Mommy will never leave you and Daddy..."

That day, her mother fainted. She thought her father would rush to her mother's side anxiously as before, and take her to town to see a doctor.

However, her father did not do that. The tall and perfect father in her memory coaxed her to let go and cut her mother's wrist with a wood-chopping knife. When the red thread flowed out, the man calmly smiled and said that he was treating her mother's illness.

She never saw her mother wake up again.

Father would always take blood from Mother and coax her by saying that it was to cure Mother's illness.

She naively believed it until the day she woke up to find herself locked in a cage by her father, while her mother was nowhere to be found. Only then did she realize that her father, whom she had always regarded as a god, was actually worse than an animal!

A blur flashed before her eyes, and Hong Ou tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground.

A group of people, armed with various weapons, came chasing after them. One of them, holding a machete, grinned maliciously as he stepped forward, grabbed her collar, and spat, "Little beggar, run! Keep running! Let's see where you can run to!"

She stared blankly at the machete in the man's hand, then suddenly covered her head, as if she had been greatly frightened.

"No, don't kill me, Father, don't kill me!"

The man was taken aback, then burst into laughter after hearing her rambling, a hint of mockery creeping into his voice. "My dear daughter, if you give your father that thousand taels of silver, he won't kill you, okay?"

The group of people behind him laughed when they heard this joke.

Sharp laughter surrounded her ears, and Hongou's body grew hotter and hotter.

Someone said, "Everyone who sees this gets a share; everyone should get a piece of this thousand taels of silver."

Because of the unequal distribution, the pursuers automatically split into several small groups and started arguing over the one thousand taels of silver, creating a situation of equal footing.

The man who grabbed the little beggar by the collar went first to touch the little beggar's clothes, trying to find out where the thousand taels of silver notes were hidden.

Bi Xie was engrossed in the act, but when she noticed the man's claws pinching her chest, she cursed angrily and kicked out, her toe striking the back of the man's head.

The man was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He was knocked on the head and felt dizzy for a moment before he covered his head and started cursing.

"Card!"

I guess I didn't check the almanac before going out tonight, because there have been problems filming.

The director and script supervisor were not as patient with Bi Xie as they had been with Zhang Jingchu. The script supervisor even yelled, "What's going on? If you don't want to act, get out! Don't waste time here!"

Bi Xie glanced at the script supervisor who had run over, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Brother Huang, he touched me!"

The script supervisor froze, looking at the male extra who had just been about to search "Red Lotus Root".

"No, Brother Huang, I didn't touch her, she's making false accusations!" the male extra exclaimed anxiously.

The script supervisor looked at Bi Xie again.

Bi Xie cried, "He just wanted to touch me! Who would joke about something like that?"

The male extra probably didn't expect that after being taken advantage of, a girl would not only not tolerate it but also make it known that everyone knew. He felt a little guilty for a moment, but still stubbornly said, "Are you crazy? With your figure and looks, who would want to touch you?"

"My boyfriend likes it."

The stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the scene became somewhat quiet for a moment.

The scandal between An Xie and Xiao Yingdi is probably known to everyone in the entertainment industry now.

Her boyfriend, isn't that Actor Xiao?

Just as the scene fell silent, the sound of a car starting up suddenly came from behind.

The executive director, who was sitting on a beach chair with his legs crossed, immediately stood up when he saw the license plate number. After the car came to a stop, he went up to greet it with a very eager expression.

Zhang Shu was the first to get off the car. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, he asked what was going on. Someone immediately told him what was happening.

Zhang Shuchao glanced at Bi Xie, then looked back into the car.

As he turned to look into the car, Xiao Jingyi got out of the car. Seeing Zhang Shu's strange look, he frowned and subconsciously glanced towards the center of the field.

When he saw the tears in Bi Xie's eyes, his brows furrowed even deeper before he looked away.

The quiet scene became slightly restless with Xiao Jingyi's arrival.

"Why is Actor Xiao here in the middle of the night? Does he have scenes to film today?"

"Speak of the devil and he appears. Everyone online is saying that An Xie and Xiao Yingdi are a couple, but I've been on set for so long and I've never seen them eat together, let alone hold hands. If An Xie were really Xiao Yingdi's girlfriend, would she need to be an extra?"

"That's right! I heard that Actor Xiao is the biggest investor in 'The Heavenly Sacred Fox Song,' investing 100 million yuan. If An Xie is really his girlfriend, even if she doesn't get the lead role, she should at least be the second or third female lead. How could she play a beggar who gets beaten up every day?"

"Listen to how shameless she was just saying that! Didn't she mean that Actor Xiao likes to touch her? How shameless! How could she say something like that!"

"She can put on a one-woman show, directing and acting out her own romantic scandal with Actor Xiao. What's so strange about her saying something like that?"

"In my opinion, the only actress in the entertainment industry who can match Xiao Yingdi is Man Ni. She has the looks, the figure, the fame, the status, and the family background. She and Xiao Yingdi are a perfect match. Who does An Xie think she is?"

"Shh, stop talking, Actor Xiao is coming—"

The extras fell silent, all looking at the handsome man striding towards them with adoring and shy eyes.

Bi Xie also looked over. If she remembered correctly, Xiao Jingyi didn't have any scenes today.

Hong Ou and He Shifang first met at the He residence. Hong Ou's fox-human identity was discovered, and she was hated by everyone. After wandering in the city for many days, she coincidentally hid in the He residence.

To avoid being discovered, she hid in a secluded courtyard of the He family mansion, daring not to show her face every day, only daring to come out to forage for food late at night.

"An Xie, why aren't you answering the phone?"

As Xiao Jing spoke, not only Bi Xie, but also the extras who had been discussing earlier, all widened their eyes in surprise.

Why does this sound like a wronged complaint after being neglected?
