The sixty-seventh bite of gossip: What juicy gossip, sixty-seven bites...
Unfortunately, she didn't stay at home for more than a few days after the New Year before joining the cast of "Flowers Fall Throughout the City," thus missing out on a large sum of New Year's money.
Ye Miao, who didn't get along with her, went to the He Family to pay New Year's respects and received a large sum of lucky money. He even bragged about it to Ye Mo on WeChat, but Ye Mo blocked him immediately and hasn't unblocked him yet.
Ye Mo had completely forgotten about it, but seeing He Mingzhang reminded her of the New Year's money she had missed out on.
"Uncle..." she looked at He Mingzhang expectantly.
Because the two were speaking in hushed tones, as if whispering, their heads unconsciously drew closer. He Mingzhang looked down, he could see a face slightly raised.
Ye Mo's eyes were exceptionally beautiful, long and slender at the corners, possessing a captivating charm. However, because her overall eye shape was somewhat round, and her eyes were clearly defined with a distinct contrast between black and white, she also appeared somewhat innocent and naive. At this moment, she slightly tilted her head back...
Looking up at He Mingzhang, he unconsciously revealed a somewhat naive expression.
He Mingzhang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he took a small step back, saying calmly, "... You've just returned to the Ye Family, so it's only right that I give you New Year's money."
He took the phone and said, "Let's add each other on WeChat first, I'll transfer the red envelope to you via WeChat."
When it comes to money, Ye Mo is incredibly enthusiastic. Despite not being a big fan of exchanging contact information, she immediately grabbed her phone and eagerly added He Mingzhang on WeChat.
Soon, her friend list had one more person.
"... Uncle, your profile picture is a cat?" Ye Mo asked curiously, reaching out to zoom in on He Mingzhang's profile picture. She discovered it really was a cat and pressed, "Is this your cat?"
It was a long-haired calico, and it looked to have short legs. Its face, facing the camera, was round and chubby, and its eyes were especially beautiful. It looked extremely cute.
Ye Mo watched, his eyes involuntarily brightening slightly.
"It's mine." He Mingzhang noticed her reaction and asked casually, "Do you really like cats?"
Ye Mo didn't see anything wrong with hiding his love for cats, so he nodded without hesitation and said, "I like them."
"Since you like them, why don't you keep one?" He Mingzhang asked casually.
Ye Mo said, "On the one hand, it's because my job requires me to go out frequently, making it inconvenient to keep pets; on the other hand..."
She reluctantly revealed her flaw. "From childhood to adulthood, I've never been very popular with cats and dogs."
More accurately, it's that small animals don't like it.
Ye Mo didn't know why, but she guessed it might be because of their incompatible auras. In any case, from childhood to adulthood, all the furry little animals she encountered disliked Ye Mo. They would bristle and run away as soon as she got close.
Ye Mo had once tried feeding stray cats, a trendy activity, but unfortunately, the stray cats, who usually meowed softly, would puff up their fur and hiss at the sight of other feeders, showing her no respect whatsoever.
Over time, Ye Mo lost interest in petting cats and dogs, let alone keeping them as pets.
However, He Mingzhang's cat is really cute...
"Is it Sanhua?" she asked He Mingzhang with intense gaze.
He Mingzhang: "It's a Minuto."
Minutt?
"Hmm, is this kind of cat called a Minuteman...?"
Looking at Ye Mo's expression, he asked her, "Want to touch it?"
Ye Mo immediately looked up at him and said, "Petting the cat."
Ye Mo hesitated. "... But I'm not popular with cats. They hide under the table and bed when they see me, never giving me a chance to pet them."
He Mingzhang couldn't help but chuckle at her somewhat mournful expression. Suppressing his rising laughter, he said, "My Mimi is different. She's very well-behaved and gentle. She'll let you pet her when I'm around!"
The emphasis is on the words "I am here".
"Mimi, is that its name?" Ye Mo asked, then asked with delight, "Can I?"
He Mingzhang nodded. "So, if you're willing..."
"I'm willing!" Ye Mo answered quickly, "Please let me go, no, I absolutely must go!"
Who could resist the temptation of petting a cat? No one could! Not even Ye Mo, a cold and ruthless person.
He Mingzhang's niece, who was still working on her homework late at night, was shocked when she saw this message:?!!
"Uncle, if you've been kidnapped, blink twice!" the niece replied immediately, her heart filled with terror.
--Oh my god, what happened that made her respected uncle, who had previously been absolutely against getting a cat, suddenly change his mind?
Chapter 67 The Sixty-Seventh Melon What kind of melon is it? It's the one you take sixty-seven bites of...
Although Mr. Wu was absent, the atmosphere in the private room, which was quiet at first, quickly became lively.
Ye Mo overheard the crew's discussions and learned that this Mr. Wu was a "habitual offender." He was a lecherous old man who particularly enjoyed sexually harassing the actresses on set. If the actresses refused, he would threaten them with roles and investments, just like he had done to Ye Mo today.
Over the years, countless actresses have been sexually harassed by him.
"... What you did to him just now was so satisfying!" The crew members whispered to Ye Mo.
Looking at the staff member's indignant expression, as if he were experiencing the same thing, Ye Mo was somewhat puzzled—he was the one who had almost been sexually harassed, so why was he so emotional?
[This staff member has a female celebrity he really likes, she's his goddess, but his goddess was sexually harassed by Mr. Wu...] 888 kindly offered Ye Mo some answers.
Ye Mo of Mr. Wu's short and ugly appearance, and suddenly realized what was going on.
--No wonder this staff member felt so empathetic; their idol had been sexually harassed by someone like Mr. Wu. This would be a huge blow to any fan.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo couldn't help but look at the staff member with a hint of pity, and used serving chopsticks to put a crab on his plate. "Here, the crab is delicious, have some more."
Turn your grief into appetite and eat more.
Other staff members, and even a few investors, secretly approached Ye Mo to ask if she could really tell fortunes.
There's a saying that goes, "If you tell a lie enough, it becomes accepted as a lie." That's exactly the situation Ye Mo is in now. At first, she was a little guilty for making up stories about being a fortune Divine Calculator, but now, when she says she's Divine Calculator, she's both unconvinced and confident.
--High-tech fortune telling (just watching the show), how can that not be fortune telling?
So, when asked by the crowd, she nodded frankly and said, "Yes, I can indeed tell fortunes... but I can't predict the future, only the present and the past."
Upon hearing this, someone said disappointedly, "You can't predict the future, but I'd like you to help me predict the numbers for the next lottery draw."
Whoosh!
His dream of getting rich quick by buying lottery tickets shattered instantly.
Ye Mo: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, she said bluntly, "If I needed that kind of skill, I'd just buy a lottery ticket myself. I'd be the next one to get rich quick, why would you have a chance?"
The crew members who had gathered around burst into laughter.
The staff member who spoke said, "... You're right." He had a look of sudden realization on his face.
"Me, me, me! Ye Mo, can you do my fortune too?"
"No, calculate my number first, I was here first..."
"Hey, don't push! One at a time, okay? Let's line up first!"
And just like that, the crew gathering instantly turned into Ye Mo's personal fortune-telling show.
Many staff members weren't really looking for Ye Mo their fortunes; they were mostly just there for the fun of it. Their main concern was whether Ye Mo's claim of having fortune-telling abilities was true.
