The forty-seventh melon: What melon? Take forty-seven bites...
"When did you arrive?" Ye Mo asked them, casually grabbing a snack and eating it.
Shen Yan: "We've been here for a while. We wanted to say hello, but we saw you were busy, so we didn't go over."
Looking at Ye Mo's expression, he felt a sense of relief. He had been very worried about Ye Mo Ye Mo, since although she was the Ye Family's biological daughter, she had never interacted with anyone from the Ye Family. The Ye Family also had a daughter who had lived with them for over twenty years and had a deep bond with her. He was afraid that Ye Mo might be wronged.
However, it seems that the Ye Family is about to formally introduce her to the public, which means they care about her a lot, so Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Mo smiled, but after exchanging only a few words with them, he was called away by the Ye Family again.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Momo is so busy!"
On the other side of the crowd, a pair of surprised eyes followed Ye Mo's figure. The owner of the gaze was He Zhen, who was at odds with Ye Mo and had previously made a bet with her.
"... Is that Ye Mo?" He Zhen really didn't expect to see Ye Mo at this banquet.
How did Ye Mo end up here? And judging from her demeanor, she's acting like the hostess!
Suddenly, He Zhen remembered a rumor that had been circulating recently: that Ye Mo had managed to get in touch with the Ye Family... At this moment, looking at Ye Mo's current state at the Ye Family's residence, an even more unbelievable thought suddenly popped into He Zhen's mind.
"Who is that person?" She tugged at her male companion's hand and pointed in Ye Mo's direction.
Her male companion looked in the direction she was pointing, then a knowing look appeared on his face. "You mean her? She's the biological daughter the Ye Family found. I heard she's a celebrity too. Don't you recognize her?"
No, I know her; in fact, we're mortal enemies.
He Zhen closed her eyes in despair.
What made her even more desperate was that she saw Ye Mo walking towards her. At that moment, He Zhen almost couldn't help but shout out that meme: Don't come any closer!
Chapter 47 The forty-seventh melon... what kind of melon is it? It's the one you eat forty-seven times...
Ye Mo hadn't expected to see He Zhen at the banquet, but she had no intention of going over to greet He Zhen, given their long-standing feud and the bet they'd made.
Just as she was about to skip it, a emotionless, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in her mind: [Shocking! Why did the rich third-generation invite his girlfriend in the middle of the night? The reason is so outrageous...]
Upon hearing the mechanical voice, Ye Mo: [...]
I don't know where 888 learned the UC title style from, it's all about being flamboyant and eye-catching. Every time Ye Mo hears the mechanical pronunciation in his mind, he can't help but twitch his lips.
In comparison, she still felt that 888's emotional, cute anime voice was better to listen to.
[Host!] 888 then spoke up, her voice excited: [He Zhen's rich third-generation boyfriend plans to take He Zhen to meet his friends in the middle of the night, but! Those friends are all scoundrels! They had He Zhen's rich third-generation boyfriend take He Zhen to meet them, but their real intention was not what they seemed; they wanted to do something bad to He Zhen!]
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo's expression hardened.
[Does He Zhen's boyfriend know about his friends' plans?] she asked.
888 said with certainty, "[Of course he knows. This guy and his friends are no good. Whenever one of them gets a girlfriend, they'll invite her out and play with her however they want...]"
The phrase "[wantonly manipulate]" carries a wealth of information. For a moment, Ye Mo's mind raced with thoughts. After a few seconds of contemplation, she turned to Ye Zhipeng and his wife beside her and said:
"... Dad, Mom, I saw my friend, and I want to go say hello to her."
Ruan Xianyue said, "Go."
Ye Mo lifted his foot and walked towards He Zhen was not far away, still thinking about what 888 had said.
She and He Zhen did not get along, so if He Zhen only made a small fool of herself and lost face, she might be happy to see it happen. However, if He Zhen would encounter something extremely unpleasant afterward, Ye Mo could not sit idly by.
As Ye Mo walked towards her, He Zhen felt her scalp tingling with fear, and she was filled with panic and confusion.
She looked around, trying to find a way to hide, but before she could move, she heard Ye Mo call out loudly, "... He Zhen."
He Zhen: "..."
Her wealthy boyfriend, a third-generation rich kid, asked her in surprise, "Zhenzhen, that Miss Ye seems to be calling you. Do you know her?"
He Zhen reluctantly uttered two words: "... Not familiar." Or rather, they were "enemies," since every time they met, they were at each other's throats.
When Ye Mo approached, He Zhen's wealthy third-generation boyfriend enthusiastically introduced Ye Mo: "Miss Ye, I'm Jiang Qiming, Zhenzhen's boyfriend..."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Ye Mo greeted the man casually, his gaze fixed on He Zhen. "I have something I'd like to say to Miss He..."
Jiang Qiming: "You tell me, you tell me, I'll go get something to eat... Zhenzhen, is there anything you want to eat?"
"No, just take whatever you like to eat," He Zhen said.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable and embarrassed under Ye Mo's gaze, she realized that the two had made a bet a few months ago, which she had lost. According to the bet, she would have to avoid Ye Mo whenever they met in the future.
However, since Ye Mo took the initiative to come to her, she shouldn't be considered to have broken the bet, right?
He Zhen thought resentfully.
"Is this Mr. Jiang your mysterious boyfriend?" Ye Mo asked casually.
"So what if I am?" He Zhen, for some unknown reason, suddenly looked at Ye Mo and asked, "Do you intend to expose this to the paparazzi?"
"..." Ye Mo looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression, then suddenly asked her curiously, "What kind of image do I have in your heart?"
He Zhen thought for a moment before saying in an uncertain tone, "... Can't stand to see me doing well?"
Ye Mo thought for a moment, "... That does seem to be true."
She glanced at He Zhen and said with certainty, "I really can't stand to see you doing well; I'd be happy to see you suffer."
He Zhen: "..."
He Zhen was furious.
"You came all this way just to make sarcastic remarks about me?" she demanded. "The dignified young lady of the Ye Family, are you so idle that you come here to torment me!"
Ye Mo told the truth, "Contrary to what you said, I'm very busy today, not idle at all."
As the star of the day, she was incredibly busy from the morning onwards, trying on dresses, doing makeup and styling, greeting guests... She didn't get a proper rest all day. Fortunately, she still had the stamina; otherwise, she would have collapsed from exhaustion.
She came specifically to see He Zhen, but this guy didn't understand her intentions at all.
Ye Mo looked at He Zhen with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
He Zhen noticed her gaze, and several question marks popped into her head:... What on earth is that look?
Just as He Zhen was Momo criticizing Ye Mo's gaze, Ye Mo suddenly asked her, "After the banquet, is your boyfriend going to take you to meet his friends?"
He Zhen snapped out of her daze, somewhat puzzled. "How did you know?"
