The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 874: With Such a Powerful Backer, I’d Be a Fool Not to Rely on Him

Chapter 874: Chapter 874: With Such a Powerful Backer, I’d Be a Fool Not to Rely on Him

Zhang Lingzhi innocently said, "Why? I was just trying to comfort you, and now you’re swearing at me. Fine, I’m not going to bother with you anymore. You just stay here and keep watch!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Fan Jun couldn’t swallow her anger and couldn’t just let her walk away like that. So, disregarding any sense of decorum, she quickly walked over and grabbed Zhang Lingzhi by the hair.

The two of them immediately got into a scuffle.

When women fight, they can be quite unreasonable and fierce.

Zhang Lingzhi directly went for Fan Jun’s hair, while Fan Jun grabbed at her clothes. They cursed and tore at each other.

Within moments, their hairstyles and clothes were a mess, and their makeup was smeared.

Du Huaixi had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe when she heard quite a commotion outside the door.

Curious, she walked over and peaked through the peephole, only to see two women wrestling with each other.

Upon a closer look, weren’t those Zhang Lingzhi and Fan Jun?

Du Huaixi was astonished, "Wow! Tinghan, come over here and watch the drama!"

Huo Tinghan walked over, looked through the peephole, and saw the two women fiercely tearing at each other. His expression immediately turned dark.

What were they thinking, getting into a fight right at his room door?

"Why are they at the door?"

Huo Tinghan replied, "Zhang Lingzhi came knocking first, followed closely by Fan Jun."

Du Huaixi immediately understood, "They must have found out you’re staying at this hotel, got your room number, and wanted a midnight rendezvous!"

She paused, shaking her head, "Tsk tsk tsk, you’ve got people keeping tabs on you!"

Huo Tinghan gave her a teasing glance, "You seem to be enjoying this a lot."

Du Huaixi laughed heartily, "Hahaha! What if they find out I’m here with you in the same room?"

Huo Tinghan, "They don’t know."

Du Huaixi, "Wuhu, they think you’re single!"

With that, she leaned against the peephole again, intensely focused on watching.

She really loved watching catfights!

Especially Zhang Lingzhi and Fan Jun, who were fighting fiercely.

Huo Tinghan said, "Let them fight."

He tugged at her, "Stop watching the spectacle."

Du Huaixi gently broke free from his grasp, "Let me watch a bit longer. I want to see who wins."

Huo Tinghan couldn’t help but chuckle, "I’ll call the front desk immediately and have them escorted away."

Du Huaixi protested, "No, I’m really enjoying the show."

"What’s so good about women fighting?"

Du Huaixi, "It’s thrilling."

Huo Tinghan, "I find it annoying."

With that, he walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and called the front desk, "Someone’s causing a scene at my door."

About two minutes later.

Security quickly led people over.

By then, the two women were evenly matched in their brawl.

Their hair was pulled and tangled, their makeup smeared, and their once pristine red lips now formed a gaping red mess, embarrassing them to death.

The security team promptly took the two women away.

Not forgetting to take advantage in the process.

Du Huaixi, seeing the spectacle come to an end, still felt unsatisfied, completely unaware of the man behind her approaching step by step.

"Enough watching."

He pulled her into his arms, "Go to bed early."

After speaking, he carried her to the bed and gently tossed her onto it.

Before Du Huaixi could react, the man pressed his weight down on her.

Du Huaixi exclaimed, "Didn’t you tell me to go to sleep early?"

Huo Tinghan smiled deeply, "Hm? You go to sleep."

Du Huaixi, "..."

...

The next day.

The agent came to take Du Huaixi to get her makeup done.

In the hotel styling room.

As the stylist carefully tended to her hair, Du Huaixi mindlessly munched on the sandwich her agent had prepared for her.

Oof.

Her waist was aching.

Bringing Huo Tinghan to accompany her to the film festival really wasn’t a wise choice.

The stylist smiled, "Xixi, still not fully awake?"

Du Huaixi let out a nasal sound of agreement, heavily accented.

Halfway through the makeup, the agent suddenly rushed in.

She was holding her phone, still on a call, appearing hurried. After hanging up, she nervously told Du Huaixi, "Director Feng said he can’t make it to the red carpet. I just contacted the organizers, and they said if Director Feng doesn’t attend, your red carpet appearance is going to be canceled."

Du Huaixi was taken aback, "Why? What happened to Director Feng to suddenly cancel his plans?"

"I heard he drank too much last night and ended up going to the hospital in the middle of the night."

"..."

Director Feng is good in every way except he’s a bit of a drinker, loves his liquor.

But such an important film festival, to just cancel like that.

This really...

Puts her in a passive position.

Du Huaixi said, "So what now?"

The agent said, "I’ll go talk to the organizers again."

"Okay."

The agent walked out the door.

Half an hour passed.

Just as Du Huaixi finished her makeup, the agent came back in, "I talked to the organizers for quite a while. They said you can’t walk the red carpet alone unless you can bring a male partner."

Du Huaixi, "... Why do I have to bring a male partner? Can’t I go on my own?"

The agent said, "You’re not that well-known internationally... Going alone not only takes up a spot, but the media might even ignore you, which would be embarrassing. The problem is, among the international guests at today’s film festival, do you know any male actors with big names?"

Du Huaixi replied, "I worked with Du Bite before, but he already has a date."

She paused, feeling a bit glum, "Forget it. The organizers are clearly being snobbish. Without Director Feng, they don’t think I’m worthy."

Even though Du Huaixi is a top star domestically, she doesn’t have the same recognition internationally.

She’s not part of the international scene, so naturally her fame isn’t high.

Western countries have always been snobby, and if it weren’t for Director Feng’s reputation on the international stage, she wouldn’t even have been eligible to attend this film festival!

The agent thought for a while and suddenly said, "Is Mr. Huo available? Why not ask him to accompany you to the film festival?"

Du Huaixi replied, "He’s a guest, but he doesn’t walk the red carpet. He doesn’t want to be in the spotlight."

The agent said, "We’ve gone through all this trouble for this festival. We can’t let it all go to waste."

Du Huaixi responded, "The organizers are being prejudiced. There’s nothing I can do."

The agent said, "Oh my, please don’t throw a tantrum. Why don’t you go and ask Mr. Huo to join you for the festival, at least to walk the red carpet? Everyone at home knows you’re here for the red carpet. If you don’t get any screen time, who knows what your rivals will say when you get back? What if they hire online trolls to slander you, saying you’re bringing shame to Huayu, that you’re not competent, that you only got into the festival because of connections? You need to prove that without Director Feng, you can still walk that red carpet."

Du Huaixi self-deprecatingly said, "Yeah, without Director Feng, switch to relying on the boyfriend."

The agent said, "Mr. Huo is your boyfriend, such a big pillar of support. You’d be foolish not to rely on him!"
