The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 115

At first, she thought it was a sasaeng fan hiding in the room. Coupled with her temper, her anger outweighed her fear, so without thinking she charged forward. Only when she got closer did she realize something was off — the figure by the fridge was just too tall.

The figure had long hair and wore a pale-colored dress she couldn't quite make out. Standing in front of the 1.8-meter fridge, it still towered over it by a head. Even with the fridge light on, it only lit up the person's chest.

Sister Ren explained, "Something like that happened before. When Xiao Wen first got famous, a male sasaeng fan hid in her hotel room. He wore a white dress and had long black hair. Back then, we all thought it was a ghost, even considered calling the police. We just wanted to find a master to check it out and give some paper money and offerings. Later, the hotel security caught him, and we realized it was just a fan."

Wen He nodded. "Right, since then I've believed there are no ghosts—if anything weird happens, it's someone playing tricks. So even though I was shocked by that person's look, I quickly came to my senses."

She couldn't help but facepalm at her own actions.

That figure was so tall, her first thought was "someone messing around pretending to be a ghost." Without hesitation, she kicked at their feet, trying to trip them by knocking away whatever they stood on.

"But I never expected there was nothing under their feet," Wen He crossed her arms and rubbed her bare arm, feeling a chill. "That person was actually floating... meaning they weren't really that tall, but hovering in midair..."

They didn't move the whole time. If there had been a string suspending them, it would've snapped by now. Plus, with the size of that room, rigging typical wire tricks would be impossible.

"Then I screamed the loudest scream of my life," Wen He sighed, recalling her reaction. "Luckily my scream was loud enough to attract the patrolling guard outside, or else I might not have gotten out of that room that night..."

She shook her head, trying to shake off the terrifying memory. Looking at the attentive Yu Yuan, she said, "Master Yu, that's basically what happened that night. But since then, I feel like I sometimes see that shadow near the fridge. At first it was far away, but these last few days it's been coming closer..."

Especially last night, she clearly saw it standing right at the door of her bedroom.

And since this morning, the thing that used to only appear at night has started showing up during the day too.

Thinking of the director's reaction on set this morning, she instinctively lowered her shoulders and cautiously asked, "Master, that thing... it's not following me now, is it?"

The room was silent except for the rustling of leaves outside in the wind.

Yu Yuan shook her head, and Wen He's tense shoulders relaxed immediately. "That's good..."

"But in the long run, when the last yang fire on top of your head goes out, it's only a matter of time before it finds you." After hearing her, Yu Yuan took out a folded triangular talisman from the drawer and handed it to her. "Wear this around your neck for now."

Sister Ren watched Wen He put on the talisman without blinking, then eagerly looked at Yu Yuan. "Master Yu, I'm with Xiao Wen all day. Should I wear one too?"

Yu Yuan lifted her eyelids and glanced at her with a smile. "No need. Your yang fire is much stronger than others'. It's because of your yang fire lately that Wen He has been able to hold on this long."

"Really?" Sister Ren's eyes widened in surprise. "So I had a part in this too?!"

Wen He looked equally stunned—she clearly hadn't expected her own manager to have unknowingly saved her life.

Yu Yuan ignored their excitement for a moment, thinking it over before asking, "When was the last time you saw that thing?"

"In the crew's rest area," Wen He answered without hesitation.

"The rest area?" Sister Ren touched her shoulders and head, puzzled. "But we were together in the rest area all the time. Master Yu just said my yang fire is strong—so why could you still see that thing?"

"That was when you stepped out to look for Yu Qingqing and the others," Wen He sighed. If she had known her manager's strong yang energy could ward off evil, she'd have stuck to her side all along.

Yu Yuan stood up and called Zhou Yu, who was outside playing with the dog, then turned back to Wen He and Sister Ren. "Although the ghost hasn't been directly behind you, it's getting closer each time. Since the last time you saw it was through a mirror, it should still be in that mirror now. If possible, I want to visit your film set with you."

Seeing hesitation flicker in Wen He's eyes, she explained, "At its current speed and distance from you, it'll catch up by tomorrow morning at the latest. Maybe even as soon as its next appearance—likely tonight."

Sister Ren's face turned pale. She glanced at Wen He, who looked just as white, and asked Yu Yuan, "What happens if it catches her?"

Yu Yuan spat out one word, "Possession."

"Two souls sharing one body, fighting for control. That spirit has probably been a lonely wandering ghost for years. Miss Wen, as the living soul, won't stand a chance. Most likely, your body will reject you, pushing you out so the spirit can continue as a ghost."

"Lonely ghost..." Wen He's expression blanked as she murmured the words.

After a few seconds, she shook her head violently, her lips drained of color. "No. Lonely ghost sounds way too miserable."

Grabbing Sister Ren's hand urgently, she said, "Sister, I'll talk to the director. You take Master Yu to the set."

Sister Ren barely noticed Yu Yuan still there and grabbed Wen He's hand back, glaring. "Did you forget what Director Ou hates most?"

The entertainment world is full of all kinds of people. Aside from demanding great acting, Director Ou absolutely refuses to work with actors who believe in ghosts.

This genius director once accidentally hired an actor who was raising a spirit. The truth came out near the end of filming. Everyone thought Director Ou would flip after filming, but no—he immediately kicked that actor out overnight and reshot all their scenes.

"I know that," Wen He yanked her hand free. "But sister, between this movie and my life—obviously my life matters more!"

If this isn't fixed, she might not even live to shoot the film!

Sister Ren wouldn't let go. "I know life's more important! But can't we be a little more subtle about it?"

They exchanged a knowing glance and said in unison, "Master Yu, would you like to visit our film set?"
