Ye Zhipeng had many old friends pleading with him, but Ye Zhipeng still refused, believing that his reasons for refusing were well-founded.
"... You all know as well."
"Well, that child was just found, and we're not very close to her, so how could I possibly ask her for help?" Ye Zhipeng's reason was genuine, but to others it sounded like an excuse.
To outsiders, Ye Mo, the "real heiress" brought back from the countryside who had never experienced wealth, should be doing everything she could to please Ye Zhipeng and his family. But only the Ye Family knew that in their relationship with Ye Mo, Ye Mo was the one who held the dominant position.
Ye Zhipeng once told his wife how he felt, "Sometimes I feel that, Momo down, I'm not as important as a five million dollar check."
"I even think that if I had told her back then to give her three percent of the shares and stay far away from our family, she would have left without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xianyue had no choice but to defend her daughter. " Momo is not such a shallow person. How could she possibly give up, give up... for a mere five million?"
Ruan Xianyue suddenly found herself unable to continue speaking, because after imagining this possibility in her mind, she suddenly felt that this really seemed like something Ye Mo was capable of doing.
After all, there's no doubt that Ye Mo doesn't care about his blood relatives; even the idiot Ye Miao could see that.
"..." Ruan Xianyue and her husband exchanged a glance, both speechless.
Ye Zhipeng could only comfort himself and his wife, saying, "As we spend more time together, she'll definitely like us more and more." That was all he could tell himself.
So, under these circumstances, how could they possibly ask Ye Mo for help?
Ye Mo was unaware of these matters. Her Ye Family had handled the situation very well, preventing outsiders from disturbing her.
Ye Mo hasn't gone out or accepted any gigs lately. Now that her agency has been acquired by her own family, no one can stop her from having fun as she pleases, so she simply relaxed at home.
However, even though she was unemployed, she maintained her old habits and tried to be self-disciplined, not letting herself become too indulgent.
She wasn't idle; she said she wanted to study and go to university, so she spent this time at home diligently reviewing high school books and studying with a tutor they had hired.
Ye Mo thought that after being away from the learning environment for so many years, she might not have the patience to continue studying, but the reality exceeded her expectations.
She learned very well and enjoyed the learning process.
Ye Mo suddenly realized that she might be more suited to studying than she had imagined. Even her tutor said that she was very smart and good at applying what she had learned to other situations. If she missed a question, she would definitely not make the same mistake again next time.
"Miss Ye is very smart. At this rate of learning, she will definitely get into a good university in the college entrance examination!" Her tutor praised her highly.
The Ye Family was both surprised and delighted to hear the teacher's praise, and at the same time, they felt even more disgusted with the couple who were preventing Ye Mo from continuing his studies.
Ye Mo was already in high school when they ruined his life, and the Ye Family is still angry about it.
After Ye Mo became a star, the couple continued to harass Ye Mo more than once, even crying to the media that Ye Mo ignored them after becoming famous.
As mentioned before, because of their antics, Ye Mo's reputation inside and outside the industry isn't very good. If it weren't for Ye Mo's irreplaceable beautiful face, and their slander, Ye Mo would have been unable to continue in this industry long ago.
Ye Zhipeng couldn't help but remind Ye Lin, "Remember to have someone keep an eye on that couple. I don't want to see them appear in front of Momo again!"
Ye Lin: "Don't worry, they will never appear in front of Momo in their entire lives."
After confirming that Ye Mo was their child, they had already investigated the couple. The couple were rotten to the core, in a terrible state, so naturally they would no longer allow them to have any contact with Ye Mo, nor would they allow them to have any influence on Ye Mo.
Ye Mo didn't know what the Ye Family had done, but he had been thinking about it for a while. It seemed like he hadn't seen that couple for a while. After all, that couple was very persistent. But whatever the reason, it was best if they didn't bother him anymore.

Ye Mo's studies went smoothly, but she did not take the college entrance examination this year. After all, half a year is not enough time, and she was not in a hurry or afraid of wasting time.
She did look at scripts, but didn't find any that interested her. Good scripts aren't easy to come by; they're not that rare.
Ye Mo felt that he seemed to be vaguely getting the hang of acting. He thought he might try it in the next drama, without relying on the system, but relying on his own abilities, to figure out how to create a character.
Having temporarily left the entertainment industry, she stopped paying attention to its affairs. Shen Yan knew she wanted to take the college entrance examination and didn't bother her with industry matters. It wasn't until just before summer vacation that Shen Yan suddenly contacted her again because a drama she had filmed was about to be released during the summer and needed her help with promotion.
Ye Mo suddenly remembered:... Oh, it seems there was such a thing.
She does indeed have one more drama that hasn't aired yet.
Chapter 90: The 90th gossip drama has become a hit.
Flowers Fall Throughout the City.
This is Ye Mo's first drama as the female lead, and now the drama is about to premiere, and it has been directly targeted for the summer season.
Ye Mo was somewhat surprised, after all, every summer season is a battle of titans, with each platform showcasing its most confident dramas.
So, why did they choose to air " The Flowers Fall Throughout the City " during the summer season? Did they think their show would definitely stand out in the fiercely competitive summer lineup?
"I didn't expect it to air so soon..." Ye Mo said while talking to Shen Yan, then logged onto Weibo, intending to listen to what Shen Yan had to say and retweet the production team's Weibo.
However, as soon as she opened Weibo, her message list was completely flooded with red notifications, and her phone froze, remaining unresponsive for a long time.
Ye Mo: "Tsk."
Shen Yan's words came through the phone. "Although there are no requirements, if possible, you should occasionally post on Weibo, so your fans don't think the company has sidelined you."
Ye Mo asked in surprise, "Who are you hiding? Me?"
"Funny, isn't it?" Shen Yan chuckled. "I find it funny too. You're our company's cash cow, the biggest star and the most profitable employee... Most importantly, the company belongs to your family now, so who would dare to sideline you?"
However, Ye Mo's fans were unaware of the latter. In their eyes, Ye Mo's sudden and unusual disappearance during this period was definitely a sign that he had been sidelined.
Ye Mo: "..."
At this point, her lagging phone finally started working smoothly, and she was able to log onto Weibo, first checking out her own lively comment section.
The last time she posted on Weibo was more than half a year ago, and most of the fans' replies were below this post. She glanced at it and found that the top trending post was a comment that read, "[ Momo, if you've been blacklisted, just blink. Why haven't you been in the news for so long? QAQ]"
Ye Mo stroked his chin. "Why would they think I've been sidelined? Could it be that I suddenly became rich and went off to enjoy life?"
Shen Yan: "..."
"Clearly, netizens are more inclined to believe you've been sidelined rather than that you suddenly became rich!"
Shen Yan didn't find the netizens' thoughts strange at all. He said, "Don't forget, you're a rising star in the industry right now, a top-tier celebrity!"
Moreover, Ye Mo is known for causing a stir whenever she appears; she used to be trending on social media every few days. Now that she's suddenly become so quiet, no longer trending, and has disappeared altogether, how could her fans not suspect that something has happened to her?
