"Xiaotong, this is Director Wang. I believe you are familiar with it. Many popular TV series recently are directed by Director Wang." Amy introduced Xia Zhitong to the director diligently.
Because Xia Zhitong's body injury has not healed, she wore a long dress with mid-sleeves. There is still a small cut on her forehead. She covered it up with clean bangs. Her waterfall-like long hair fell naturally and she changed to a new hairstyle.
Xia Zhitong's temperament is becoming more and more clean and pure, which makes people's eyes bright.
"Director Wang, hello, my name is Xia Zhitong."
Xia Zhitong smiled slightly, and a pair of shallow pear dimples bloomed, as if bringing a fresh fragrance.
The director was very satisfied with her performance last time and rolled his eyes, "I will arrange for you to audition later. Here are a few pages of the script. Please interpret this role according to your own understanding."
Xia Zhitong took the script, and Amy excitedly pulled her to the lounge.
"Xiaotong, I think Director Wang likes you very much. This role belongs to you." Amy said while doing Xia Zhitong's hair.
Xia Zhitong smiled but did not answer.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and I heard vaguely——
"What? The director suddenly arranged for me to audition with a newbie? Didn't we agree on it a few days ago? The second female lead in this drama is unofficially scheduled to be me, so why do you need me to audition?"
It was Xia Yinxue's voice, and the thumping of her high heels betrayed her anger. Xia Zhitong asked Amy to put down her comb and hurriedly chased her out.
Xia Zhitong saw Xia Yinxue walking into a VIP dressing room, and she followed closely. When she was about to open the door, she heard through the thin door——
"It's really annoying! My mother spent a million to smoothen the relationship, and in the end she only gave me the second female lead. Now... she actually arranges for me to participate in some auditions, making it clear that she doesn't want to give me any face!"
Xia Zhitong was startled.
Isn’t his father bankrupt? Where did Lin Meijing get the money to smooth things over for Xia Yinxue?
"Huh, Mom, it's true. The old man just died. Giving too much money will arouse others' suspicion. But if you don't spend more money, one day I can play a female lead and become an instant hit! The old man
, What a bad time to die!" Xia Yinxue cursed and threw her cosmetics on the mirror angrily.
Xia Yinxue turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as Xia Zhitong heard the noise, she immediately fled back to her dressing room.
Her heart felt like it was being twisted tightly together. When she closed her eyes, what appeared in front of her eyes was her father's kind smile.
Dad, I will not let you die in silence. I will definitely let this vicious mother and daughter return all your inheritance to our Xia family without missing a cent!

Half an hour later, Xia Yinxue and Xia Zhitong appeared in front of the director at the same time.
Xia Zhitong put on a goose-yellow gauze skirt, while Xia Yinxue beside her was wearing a graceful and luxurious brocade dress, and her body was covered with dazzling jewelry.
Xia Yinxue was angry and surprised when she saw Xia Zhitong. She winked at her assistant Xiao An, who left in a hurry.
Xia Yinxue put on a fake smile and said, "It's you again. Your last performance was wonderful. I'm looking forward to your performance!"
Xia Zhitong smiled coldly and ignored it.
The role she was going to play this time was also that of a concubine who was good at dancing in ancient times. The audition was for the last scene - in the end, because she could not get the favor, she sang and danced alone in the palace for three days and three nights.
The scene of falling to death.
"Action!" the director gave the order, and Xia Zhitong stood on the 7 or 8-meter-high simulated prop and danced.
On the high platform, she danced softly and sang sad songs, like resentment, admiration, and weeping. Her dance became faster and faster, and the more she danced, the sadder she became...
Finally, she stopped dancing and was about to perform the scene where she finally fell down the city wall. The props supported by the bracket suddenly creaked. Xia Zhitong followed the entire bracket unprepared and fell directly from 7 or 8 meters above the sky!!
"Ah!" After Xia Zhitong screamed, everyone on the set rushed to the rescue. However, the steel supports were still rolling down, and they hit Xia Zhitong's body and feet heavily one by one!
The sound of heavy metal falling to the ground was heard one after another. The studio was completely silent, and the sound of terrified gasps was clearly audible.
The first one to cry was Amy. She threw herself at Xia Zhitong and blocked the last steel pipe for her!
"Xiaotong, wake up...don't let anything happen to you..." Amy cried and picked up Xia Zhitong's unconscious body, wiping away the cold sweat from Xia Zhitong's forehead with her hands. The girl as beautiful as a flower was standing there.
In an instant, he lost all color and his whole body became extremely cold.
Amy felt hot blood flowing out of Xia Zhitong's body. She burst into tears, and hot tears fell on Xia Zhitong's face.
Xia Zhitong trembled her eyelashes with difficulty, and trembled her pale lips weakly, "Xia...Yin Xue...it's her...it's her hands...feet..."
