Ye Mo looked at the young man, who was about the same age as his older brother. "..."
All I can say is that Grandpa He is truly still vigorous despite his advanced age.
"Miss Ye, long time no see." He Mingzhang extended his hand to Ye Mo, but Ye Mo looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"..." He Mingzhang was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Miss Ye, don't you remember me? We met once before."
Ye Mo: "... Ha, my memory isn't very good."
He Mingzhang reminded her, "The crew of ' The Tale of Scheming '..."
When he mentioned " The Tale of Scheming," a scene flashed through Ye Mo's mind, and he suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"
"You're that Mr. He?!" She remembered.
He Mingzhang smiled. "It's me."
Hearing their conversation, Old Master He asked with some interest, "Have you two met before?"
Ye Mo snapped out of his reverie and nodded, "I happened to run into Mr. He at the film studio while I was filming, but it was only a brief encounter."
She suddenly remembered something 888 had said when she first met He Mingzhang, and a thought struck her.
"[888, do you know the relationship between my family and the He Family?]" she asked.
888: [Yes, He Mingzhang is the current head of the He Family family, so you have to call him uncle... Moreover, the Ye and He families have an arranged marriage from childhood. If you and Ye Baozhu hadn't been switched, He Ruilin would be your fiancé.]
[ He Ruilin?]
[That's the young man with the mole on his face...]
Do you have a mole on your face?
Ye Mo subconsciously glanced at another young man present, just as Ye Lin introduced him, "This is Uncle Mingzhen's son, He Ruilin."
"Miss Ye, hello." He Ruilin smiled at Ye Mo, but the smile was somewhat cold, and his tone was very polite and distant.
Seeing this, Ye Mo raised an eyebrow, sensing that the person in front of him didn't seem to like him very much, and even seemed somewhat resistant?
Five people from the He Family came this time. The remaining young girl was named He Ruixiang, He Mingzhang's third brother, He Mingzhuo's daughter, and a good friend of Ye Baozhu.
After the elders went inside to talk, they let the younger generation gather together to chat. He Ruixiang immediately went to Ye Baozhu's side and affectionately called her, " Baozhu!"
He Ruilin also moved closer, looking at Ye Baozhu with deep affection in his eyes. " Baozhu."
When Ye Baozhu saw him, her cheeks flushed, but as if she had thought of something, she glanced at Ye Mo with a mixture of unease and worry.
Ye Mo, somewhat bewildered by her gaze:??
Why are you looking at her?
He Ruilin suddenly glared fiercely at Ye Mo, grabbed Ye Baozhu's hand, and said, " Baozhu, I know everything about you, but don't worry, the person I love is you. It doesn't matter if you're a daughter of the Ye Family or not, the only person I love is you!"
"That's right!" He Ruixiang echoed, also glaring at Ye Mo. "Don't worry, Brother Ruilin only likes you. He won't even glance at other women, no matter who they are!"
"That's right!" He Ruilin nodded, looking at Ye Mo with wariness and resistance, and said, "Let me tell you, even if you are the Ye Family's biological daughter, and the person I'm betrothed to should be you, for me, the only person I love is Baozhu! I will not be with you, so give up on that idea!"
Suddenly, Ye Mo, who had given up hope, was speechless.
"You two siblings, is there something wrong with yourselves? Is that why you talk nonsense?" Ye Mo pointed to his head, his tone very serious. After asking, he nodded to himself with certainty and said, "That's right, you're a family, so it's true that problems tend to appear in clusters."
He Ruilin angrily asked, "Who are you calling crazy?"
He Ruixiang also puffed out her cheeks and glared at Ye Mo.
"Who else is spouting nonsense here besides you?" Ye Mo scoffed. "I've only just met you, and you're already spouting nonsensical things at me. Are you out of your minds? And this marriage agreement you're talking about, I've never heard of it."
He Ruilin looked at her suspiciously. "You don't know about the marriage agreement between our two families?"
Ye Mo seemed surprised. "What? Is there a marriage agreement between our two families? But even if there is, what does it have to do with me?"
He Ruixiang asked curiously, "Don't you know our two families have a marriage agreement?"
Ye Mo didn't answer directly, but said, "I haven't heard anyone in my family mention it."
I heard it from 888, but that doesn't count.
He Ruixiang immediately explained, "My grandfather saved your grandfather before, so our two families made a marriage agreement. If there is a boy and a girl in our generation, we will be engaged and become in-laws. The two people who are engaged are you and Ruilin!"
"So, in other words, you and Brother Ruilin were supposed to be engaged!"
It's said to be "originally," but who could have imagined that this matter actually went wrong twenty-three years ago?
For so many years, Ye Baozhu has been He Ruilin's fiancée. The two are childhood sweethearts with a deep and abiding affection for each other. Everyone thought they would get married in the future, but now, Ye Mo...
With the revelation that Ye Mo and Ye Baozhu had been switched, it has become clear that Ye Mo is now the biological daughter of the Ye Family. This makes the marriage arrangement between the two families somewhat awkward and delicate.
Whose name should this marriage contract belong to?
"... Why are you explaining all this to her?" He Ruilin tugged at his sister, still watching Ye Mo, and said, "Let me tell you, the only person I like is Baozhu. Don't even think about marrying you!"
"Marry you?" Ye Mo rolled her eyes and said, "... Sorry, I can't say yes."
He Ruilin: "Are you saying I'm ugly?" He was certain that Ye Mo was definitely insulting him.
Ye Mo nodded, stating frankly and affirmatively, "That's right, you didn't misunderstand, I was indeed insulting you."
He Ruilin was furious, "You—"
Ye Mo interrupted him, saying directly, "I need to make this clear to you. I know nothing about this engagement you're talking about, I've never heard of it, and even if I did, it has nothing to do with me..."
She said earnestly and sincerely, "So, if you're afraid that I'll insist on marrying you just because I know about this engagement, then you're really overthinking it. I'm not someone who'll be interested in just any man."
He Ruilin had Mingming achieved his goal but felt as if he had been scolded, thought to himself, "..."
He Ruixiang was even more curious. "You really don't want to steal the engagement? Ruilin is the most outstanding boy in our family this generation, you really don't want him?"
"..." Ye Mo felt that this family must have some serious illness. "After all, what's the matter between me and this He Lin guy..."
He Ruilin corrected her. "My name is He Ruilin! Not He something Lin."
Ye Mo: "Okay, He Ruilin! This is the first time He Ruilin and I have met, isn't it?"
She found it somewhat amusing. "I'd be crazy to want to marry someone I've only just met, so you can completely rest assured, I'm not interested in your brother or that engagement! So, don't look at me like that, it's disgusting."
He Ruixiang scratched her face and apologized, "I'm so sorry, but lately my family has been talking about this engagement, saying that you should have been the one to marry my brother Ruilin... I thought you thought so too."
"Me?" Ye Mo looked He Ruilin up and down carefully, shaking his head with a critical and disdainful look, and said, "Sorry, it's not nice to say, but I'm not indiscriminate in my relationships with men."
Subtext: She still doesn't think much of He Ruilin.
Her disdainful look made He Ruilin's blood pressure rise a little, and he couldn't help but ask, "If you don't like me, then who do you like?"
It wasn't that he was arrogant; he believed he was outstanding in both appearance and personality, and countless girls had liked him since childhood. This was the first time he had been so disliked by a woman.
