Chapter 132
He Zhen smiled, pursed her lips, and got into the car, lifting her skirt.
"Bang!"
Jiang Qiming closed the car door. He Zhen sat inside, her figure gradually disappearing behind the door, like prey swallowed by a giant beast.
At the same time, Ye Mo also heard the news from 888.
Ye Mo had originally planned to take a shower, but after hearing 888 talk about He Zhen, she sighed deeply: Well, it seems I can't take a shower now.
"So, never pity a man!" Ye Mo muttered. "Men are all cunning creatures; they'll only bring you bad luck."
He Zhen has now become a cautionary tale, but...
Pitying a man puts oneself in danger.
Ye Mo changed out of his formal attire into more comfortable clothes, put on a mask, and then asked 888: "[Where are they headed?]"
888 immediately replied: [It's Moon-Gazing Pavilion!]
Moon-Gazing Pavilion?
Ye Mo knew of this place, but he had only heard of it and had never been there.
Don't be fooled by the name [Moon-Gazing Pavilion], which sounds like a quiet, classical, and charming place. In reality, it's a paradise for the wealthy to indulge in eating, drinking, and entertainment.
It was a den of iniquity, a tomb of tenderness, and a place of decadent pleasure.
This place is not accessible to ordinary people; it is frequented by the wealthy and powerful. It operates on a membership system, meaning that only members can enter, and non-members are prohibited from entering.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo was a little conflicted, because she didn't have a membership to this place.
Ye Mo thought for a moment, then suddenly turned and left.
When the knocking sounded on the bedroom door, Ye Lin was getting ready to wash up and go to bed.
Although Ye Mo was the main character of the banquet today, they were not exactly idle, especially Ye Lin, who was now the general manager of Ye Corporation. He had countless business partners and was extremely busy tonight.
Hearing the knock, he turned to open the door and saw Ye Mo standing there, dressed neatly and looking like he was about to go out.
Ye Lin immediately asked, "Are you going out?"
Ye Mo replied, "... I have to go out for a while."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Ye Lin expectantly and asked, "Big brother, do you have a membership at [Moon-Gazing Pavilion]?"
Ye Lin didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he asked her, "Why are you asking this? Are you going to [Moon-Gazing Pavilion]? Why?" Three questions in a row hit Ye Mo in the face.
Ye Mo realized that her older brother wouldn't lend her the membership card unless she could come up with a suitable reason, so she carefully explained He Zhen's situation.
"Brother, you know I can tell fortunes..."
If she didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that she knows what He Zhen is going to face, she can't just ignore it.
"... She's going to [Moon-Gazing Pavilion], so I need a [Moon-Gazing Pavilion] membership card! Brother, you should have a membership card there, right?"
Ye Mo looked at Ye Lin with anticipation.
Ye Lin: "... I do have one, but you've taken the membership card, what do you plan to do?"
He was half a head taller than Ye Mo. Looking down at her, he asked in a cold tone, "Are you planning to go to [Moon-Gazing Pavilion] alone to rescue this Miss He?"
Ye Lin always wore glasses, so this was the first time Ye Mo had seen his older brother without them.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lin without his glasses looked quite different from his refined and gentle appearance when he wore them. He possessed an extremely sharp and compelling quality. His eyes were long and narrow, with very light-colored pupils, and his eyes seemed to hold the coldness of snow, giving him an extremely imposing aura.
Ye Mo suddenly understood why his older brother always wore glasses. Without them, he looked quite terrifying, like someone who would eat children, and exuded an evil aura.
At that moment, Ye Mo's instincts told her that she had to answer this question properly, otherwise her older brother might immediately change his expression.
"... Well," Ye Mo began, his eyes darting around before he said firmly, "Of course I won't go to [Moon-Gazing Pavilion] alone!"
She carefully observed Ye Lin's expression, and seeing that his expression soften slightly, she knew she had said the right thing, so she continued, "... Of course I'll ask my older brother for help, right? He'll help me, won't he?"
Ye Lin gave a half-smile, "I thought you were going to go on another solo adventure."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo had only one thought in his mind: his older brother still remembered the adventure he had taken before.
"So, big brother, you'll definitely help me, right?" she asked.
Ye Lin glanced at her and said, "You wait here."
After saying that, he closed the door. A few minutes later, the door in front of Ye Mo was opened again, revealing Ye Lin, who had changed his clothes.
Ye Lin, with his coat draped over his arm, said to Ye Mo while adjusting his cuffs, "Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I'll go get my coat!"
When she came out with her coat, she discovered that it was snowing outside. Snowflakes were falling silently from the night sky, appearing exceptionally light.
"It's snowing?" Ye Mo opened his hand, and a few snowflakes fell into her palm, instantly melting into water from her body heat.
The snow had clearly just started falling; the wind was strong outside, and the swirling snowflakes were being blown about, turning in the air like willow catkins being swept up by the wind.
Ye Mo got into the car, and Ye Lin glanced at her in the rearview mirror. He noticed that she was wearing an extremely thick down jacket and a cashmere scarf around her neck, with most of her face buried in the scarf. She was completely wrapped up.
"... You seem to be particularly sensitive to the cold?" he asked.
Ye Mo replied, "I'm not only afraid of the cold, I'm also afraid of the heat..."
So her adoptive parents used to tease her, saying she had the airs of a princess but not the life of one. After all, in the countryside, exposed to the elements, who could keep her from getting cold or hot?
However, compared to heat, Ye Mo was more afraid of the cold. In winter, her hands and feet would get cold and she would feel cold all over.
Ye Mo exhaled a breath of warm air, took off the scarf around his neck, and asked 888 in his mind: [How is He Zhen doing?]
888: [She has arrived at [Moon-Gazing Pavilion].]
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said to Ye Lin, "Brother, we need to hurry, He Zhen has already arrived at [Moon-Gazing Pavilion]."
Ye Lin didn't say anything, but immediately started the car and drove it out of the garage.
Meanwhile, He Zhen, who had already arrived at [Moon-Gazing Pavilion] with Jiang Qiming, followed her boyfriend to a private room on the third floor.
The door to the private room opened, and in the dim light, wailing and howling singing wafted out, accompanied by a warm and chaotic smell from inside.
Seeing the wide-open door to the private room, He Zhen couldn't help but pause.
Although it's just a door separating them, the corridor outside is brightly lit, while the inside is dark and gloomy, making it seem like two different worlds.
Unconsciously, He Zhen felt a strange sense of panic, making her feet feel as if they were nailed to the floor, unwilling to move forward even a step.
"Hahaha, you've finally arrived, kid..." A man who was clearly Jiang Qiming's friend came out from inside. His gaze fell on He Zhen beside Jiang Qiming, and a strange light flickered in his small eyes.
"So you're Qiming's girlfriend? You really are a big star, different from ordinary women..."
I just don't know if it will feel the same when you play it.
He mumbled his last sentence, so He Zhen didn't hear it clearly. He Zhen just felt that the gaze he was giving her was a little creepy, and it gave her goosebumps.
