Ye Mo: "... Never mind how I know, I just came here to tell you one thing: Don't go."
She looked at He Zhen seriously, "I've heard my brother talk about this Jiang Qiming. He's no good. He's good at drinking, gambling, and whoring. The guys he hangs out with are pretty much the same—notorious spendthrifts. They don't have any good intentions towards you if they want to see you!"
Upon hearing this, He Zhen looked at her suspiciously, "The two of us..."
"If we don't get along, why would you be so kind as to remind me?"
Ye Mo said frankly, "Our relationship isn't good, and I'm happy to see you in trouble, but it depends on the situation... If you go with Jiang Qiming to meet his friends, you'll encounter some extremely bad things. You're also in our circle, so you must have heard some unpleasant rumors, right?"
Beneath their glamorous facade, who knows how many shady things are hidden in this circle? He Zhen is also in this circle, Ye Mo doesn't believe she hasn't heard of it.
He Zhen, however, remained skeptical after hearing Ye Mo's words. "How can I believe what you say? Do you have any evidence?"
She pursed her lips. "My boyfriend and I have been together for three years. I know him very well. I can feel that he genuinely likes me and is truly good to me... So, are you misunderstanding him? Or did your brother mishear those things?"
Compared to Ye Mo, with whom she had never gotten along, He Zhen naturally trusted her boyfriend, with whom she spent every day, more.
Besides, she and her boyfriend weren't new to dating; they'd been together for three years, so they had a pretty good understanding of each other.
Over the years, Jiang Qiming had treated her very well, but he had never introduced her to his friends. So when he said he would take her to meet his friends, He Zhen was very happy and felt that the two of them had become closer.
After all, in He Zhen's view, the fact that Jiang Qiming introduced her to his friends meant that he truly cared about her and was serious about their relationship.
She was in a good mood until Ye Mo appeared and told her "don't go".
However, although she trusted her boyfriend, she also felt that Ye Mo wouldn't make such a joke, so she was more inclined to believe that there was some misunderstanding.
"Maybe your brother was talking about someone else, and you misheard?" she said.
Ye Mo, however, firmly denied her guess. "I'm very certain, the person my brother was talking about is Jiang Qiming..."
Because she was completely fabricated as a "brother," it was 888 who told her this, not any of her brothers.
" He Zhen, I won't lie to you about this." Ye Mo felt she still needed to persuade He Zhen again; she didn't want to see He Zhen destroyed.
She looked at He Zhen earnestly and said firmly, "Trust me, don't go!"
He Zhen: "..."
He Zhen didn't know whether to believe Ye Mo. On one hand, there was her boyfriend of three years, and on the other hand, there was Ye Mo, with whom she didn't get along very well... Logically, she should unconditionally choose to believe her boyfriend, but...!
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy. In a way, He Zhen and Ye Mo are "enemies," so she knows Ye Mo very well, and Ye Mo is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.
He Zhen thought it over and over, but was in a dilemma, not knowing who to believe.
" Zhenzhen..."
Just then, Jiang Qiming came over with food. He presented a plate of salad to He Zhen like a treasure, saying, "I just saw some salad over there. You need to maintain your figure; this is just right."
Seeing this, He Zhen couldn't help but show a touched expression—she was certain that Jiang Qiming truly cared about her.
So, most likely, Ye Mo's brother just misheard, right?
" He Zhen," Ye Mo called her again, and said, "I hope you can believe me. I can assure you that everything I said is true."
Having said all that, Ye Mo felt he had done his duty, so he said nothing more and left.
After she left, Jiang Qiming looked at He Zhen with suspicion and asked her, "What did that Miss Ye say to you? She was being so secretive..."
He Zhen snapped out of her reverie after hearing Ye Mo's words, "... It's nothing."
She frowned as she watched Ye Mo Ye Mo's departing figure, unsure whether he was telling the truth or not.
When her gaze fell upon her boyfriend, whose expression was one of curiosity, she hesitated:... Jiang Qiming, is he really up to no good by taking me to meet his friends?
**
Ye Mo wasn't sure He Zhen would believe her, but she was inclined to think she wouldn't. After all, who would believe someone they dislike?
Thinking of this, Ye Mo felt a headache coming on and muttered, "If only I had gotten along better with her back then..."
Of course, this was just wishful thinking. She and He Zhen clashed everywhere in their careers back then, and their fans became sworn enemies. Whenever their fans appeared together, a bloodbath was bound to ensue.
Under such circumstances, it's absolutely impossible for the two of them to have a good relationship.
Ye Mo pondered, "I've given all the necessary reminders, so should we just leave this matter unresolved?"
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Ye Mo rejected it.
Although she wasn't exactly a saint, she wasn't so indifferent as to watch a perfectly good girl about to be devoured by wolves.
[888, keep an eye on He Zhen's situation for me. If she really goes to meet that man surnamed Jiang's friend, tell me...]
Hopefully, He Zhen will listen to what she says, so that she won't have to keep an eye on her.
Ye Mo couldn't pay too much attention to He Zhen's affairs, after all, as the main character today, she was really busy and was dragged to meet various relatives and friends - many of whom were also people Ye Family did business with.
Ye Mo also ran into Qi Yuheng. Compared to before, Qi Yuheng had lost a lot of weight, but he seemed to be in good spirits, as if he had recovered from the blow of being betrayed by his younger brother.
"... I also have to thank you for reminding me about Qi Yuwen back then, otherwise I still wouldn't know that he did so many things behind my back."
When Qi Yuheng mentions Qi Yuwen now, his tone is no longer as affectionate as before, but filled with endless indifference.
He felt a chill and lingering fear whenever he thought about what he had discovered later.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me," he said to Ye Mo with a wry smile, "I only found out afterward that he had actually colluded with some of his younger brothers outside, plotting with them how to remove me from my position as the successor of the Qi Corporation!"
For this reason, they even considered using drugs to ruin him. How could Qi Yuheng not be terrified?
Out of gratitude, Qi Yuheng wasn't afraid of losing face and revealed everything Qi Yuwen had done—what was there to be ashamed of? He wasn't the one who did those things.
However, after Qi Yuheng finished speaking, his expression didn't show much satisfaction. He let out a long sigh and said, "For so many years, I've always treated him like a child, but I never imagined he harbored resentment towards me and hated my father for handing the Qi Corporation over to me..."
In order to obtain the Qi Corporation, Qi Yuwen had done so many underhanded things behind the scenes. When Qi Yuheng discovered these things, he was completely disappointed in him.
However, although Qi Yuwen's actions disgusted him, he was still his own younger brother, and Qi Yuheng couldn't bring himself to punish him severely. In the end Africa Africa develop new markets, and he wasn't allowed to come back until he succeeded.
