Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Chapter 131 The Dirty Royal Garden

"You abandoned your patron and ran back by yourself, but do you know what the consequences will be?" Sister Ling squatted down and lifted up the tearful face with her fingertips, but at this moment, that pretty little face was full of pain.

"I... I know I was wrong. Sister Ling, please give me some and I will go back and apologize immediately." Lianxi grabbed Sister Ling's clothes tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave.

Sister Ling slowly pulled back her collar, stood up and said coldly, "You can't even control time, what's the point of keeping you here? Go to the dark room and receive your three-hour punishment."

Three hours? She didn't want to wait even a second. She felt so uncomfortable that she was worse than death.

"Sister Ling, please..."

"Four hours." Sister Ling's voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth.

Lianxi didn't dare to say anything more and left the room sobbing.

Sister Ling looked at her from behind with a look of disdain, "What a bunch of bastards, they won't obey until they are punished."

-

Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao had just returned home when Qi Nanfeng called. Ruan Haoyu went to take a shower while Mu Xiaoqiao listened to his report.

"Lianxi is currently working as a hostess in a nightclub called Royal Garden. The operator of that nightclub is Sister Ling. It is said that she has hundreds of girls like Lianxi under her, all of whom are loyal to Royal Garden."

Mu Xiaoqiao pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid he's not loyal."

She remembered that in her dream, Sister Ling was extremely cruel and ruthless, and was definitely not an ordinary nightclub owner.

Qi Nanfeng said in a deep voice: "According to the investigation, Royal Garden is involved in drugs."

"That's right." Mu Xiaoqiao's puzzled part was immediately solved. "She uses drugs to control these girls, making them absolutely dependent on her."

Qi Nanfeng couldn't help but admire Mu Xiaoqiao. He thought of the key to the matter in just a few words and his inference was absolutely accurate.

"Lianxi must have had a drug addiction attack tonight and couldn't continue to accompany the guests. She never came out after entering the Royal Garden. According to our brothers who sneaked in, she came out of a room crying and was taken to the backyard by a man. The place was heavily guarded and our people couldn't get in, but it looked like she was going there to be punished."

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Afeng."

Qi Nanfeng's work efficiency is really high. He found out so many things in just a short period of time, and he also sent Qin Chu home. His work ability is really impressive.

After Ruan Haoyu came out, Mu Xiaoqiao said, "You have a pair of discerning eyes."

Ruan Haoyu was a little confused, but Mu Xiaoqiao obviously had no intention of continuing.

She was thinking, maybe, she should find some time to meet Lianxi.

The next day.

"Phoenix Dances Around the World" has been successfully launched. As the opening drama of the year invested heavily by Star Orange Entertainment, the lineup cannot be underestimated. National first-class director Jiang Wenbo has come out again after five years to direct this costume historical drama as the chief director. The well-known director Yao Jiaxin is willing to be the deputy director.

The male lead is played by the film emperor Ruan Haoyu, the female lead is played by the new and talented actress Mu Xiaoqiao, and the second male and female leads are both young actors who have received good reputations recently. Ling Xiao plays the third male lead in the drama this time, and has a pretty important role.

This was Mu Xiaoqiao's first time playing the leading female role. She herself was not very nervous, but the director was a little worried.

Before the opening ceremony, he pulled Ruan Haoyu aside again and said earnestly, "Haoyu, I say this because I treat you as my own. Although I know that as a director, I shouldn't treat actors differently based on their fame, but Mu Xiaoqiao has too little experience. Shouldn't he hone his skills for a few more years?"

Director Jiang Wenbo is the director who presented the award to Ruan Haoyu at the last film festival. He is already in his seventies, with gray hair, but still in good spirits. He is also very famous in the director circle.

If he didn't value Ruan Haoyu and knew that Mu Xiaoqiao was highly recommended by Ruan Haoyu, he wouldn't have told him and would have directly found the suitable actress in his mind.

Ruan Haoyu smiled and said, "Director Jiang, you worry too much. I promise that as long as you have seen Xiao Qiao's play, you will definitely praise me for my discerning eye."

Thinking about how Mu Xiaoqiao had praised his keen eyes last night, he couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Okay, since you insist on doing so, then I'll take a look." Director Jiang Wenbo saw that Ruan Haoyu was determined, so he shook his head and sighed. He was still not very reassured.

"Phoenix Dances the World" has a huge investment. According to his experience, if it is performed by two of the most popular actors today, it will definitely have the potential to be a hit, and maybe it can even become a highlight in his directorial history.

This may very well be his last work in his life, and he really doesn't want to settle for it, but there's nothing he can do. Who asked the investors to insist on specifying the female lead?

Jiang Wenbo somewhat regretted taking this role.

Yao Jiaxin came over, saw his worried look, and said with a smile: "What? Are you still worried that Mu Xiaoqiao can't carry the show?"

"Alas, I just think it's a pity to see such a good drama."

Yao Jiaxin waved her hand, "Don't worry, she can do it."

Yao Jiaxin has already worked with Mu Xiaoqiao on a drama. Although Mu Xiaoqiao was not the female lead at the time, her performance was impeccable. Not only were her emotions full and on point, her lines were also well-delivered. He is planning to let her do the dubbing for "Legal Rose" herself.

"You said so too. Is Mu Xiaoqiao really that good?" Jiang Wenbo looked at Mu Xiaoqiao who was standing in front of the crowd again. She was very pretty, but there was nothing special about her. Could it be that he really made a mistake this time?

"You'll know for yourself when you see it." Yao Jiaxin said nothing more, picked up the loudspeaker he used for work and left. The best way to respond to doubts is to crush them with strength. No matter how much outsiders say, it will be useless.

Mu Xiaoqiao didn't know that the director had been discussing her. She was watching today's filming content. As soon as the opening ceremony was over, they would start filming in full swing. Four months was a bit tight. After all, it was a big drama with 60 episodes, and she had to make good use of every moment.

She is the female lead and has the most scenes, so her schedule was extremely tight during these four months.

The second is Ruan Haoyu, who has the second most roles, but because Ruan Haoyu is much more famous than Mu Xiaoqiao, his name is listed first during the promotions.

There are quite a lot of media here today. After all, this is adapted from a popular IP and has many book fans. There are a thousand different versions of the heroine in the minds of ten thousand people. If you want to satisfy the white moonlight in everyone's mind, you must have a solid foundation.

This time the opening ceremony was done with makeup on. After the opening ceremony, we had to take makeup photos for publicity. This way, if there are any problems, we can make timely adjustments. At the same time, with the help of the media, more people can see the start of filming of the drama, thus achieving the result of early publicity.

Mu Xiaoqiao and others came to the set early in the morning to put on makeup, and everyone's makeup was very delicate.
