He followed Ye Mo's gaze, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. "Isn't that Qi Yuheng from Fengxing? What's he doing here? Did he buy a place in Helang Maijing too?"
Ye Mo looked at him, her eyes gleaming with
the light of gossip. She grabbed his hand. "Cousin, want to watch some excitement?"
Several question marks gradually appeared over Ye Yongming's head.
Qi Yuheng's appearance at Helang Maijing Residential Complex clearly meant he had taken Ye Mo's words from yesterday to heart. Otherwise, he would not have appeared here.
At that moment, Qi Yuheng's feelings were rather complicated. He did not know why he had come here either. By the time he came to his senses, he had already told his driver to bring him to the entrance of Helang Maijing Residential Complex.
Maybe Miss Ye was only joking and didn't mean anything else... he thought, looking up at the entrance to Helang Maijing Residential Complex and finding it somewhat funny. Yet I actually came running all the way here.
But since he was already here, surely there was no harm in taking a look as Miss Ye had suggested?
With that thought, Qi Yuheng picked up his phone and made a call.
A few minutes later, a young man around his age came out of the complex. The two stood together and exchanged a few words, looking extremely familiar with each other. Then the young man took Qi Yuheng to sign something at the security desk, and they entered the complex.
Seeing this, Ye Mo hurriedly urged Ye Yongming, "Cousin, is your friend here yet? Qi Yuheng's already gone inside!"
Helang Maijing Residential Complex had very strict privacy measures. Outsiders could not enter at all without someone from inside escorting them, which was why Qi Yuheng had needed a friend to bring him in.
Naturally, Ye Mo and Ye Yongming also needed someone from inside to bring them in.
"Don't rush me. He said he'd be right out..." Ye Yongming said. Halfway through, he looked ahead. "Here he comes!"
Ye Mo looked up and saw a young man in a T-shirt walking quickly toward her and Ye Yongming. When he reached them, he patted Ye Yongming on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "What brings you here all of a sudden? Your call gave me quite a surprise. Don't you have work at this hour?"
Ye Mo poked Ye Yongming. Ye Yongming said, "...We can talk about everything else later. Take us into the complex first."
The young man looked puzzled, but did not ask any more questions and readily agreed. "Sure, follow me."
He took them to register with security. Ye Mo and Ye Yongming produced their ID cards and registered their information one item at a time. Only then were they allowed through, following the young man into the complex.
After his introduction, Ye Mo learned that his surname was Hu and his name was Hu Hejia. He and Ye Yongming had been schoolmates-they had attended the same school from elementary school onward, only parting ways at university, and were very close friends.
Hu Hejia recognized Ye Mo. "You're that celebrity, right? I've seen you online several times!"
Ye Mo nodded at him. "Hello."
Ye Yongming glanced at Hu Hejia and reminded him, "Momo is my eldest uncle's daughter, my younger cousin. She's a member of our Ye Family." Not some ordinary minor celebrity.
Surprised, Hu Hejia then understood. He pulled Ye Yongming aside and asked quietly, "The biological daughter your eldest uncle just found?"
Ye Yongming nodded.
Hu Hejia marveled, "Well, damn! So your eldest uncle's biological daughter is a big star! I see her online all the time. She's pretty famous."
Ye Yongming said, "Now that you know she's my cousin, you can't just sit back and do nothing if anything involving her comes up, right?"
"Listen to yourself!" Hu Hejia reached out and patted him on the chest. "Your sister is my sister!"
With that, he walked up to Ye Mo. "So you're Yongming's little sister. Your brother and I are good friends, good brothers. Since you're his sister, you'll be my sister from now on too. Just call me Brother Hejia!"
Then he added admiringly, "You really are a big star, little sister. You're gorgeous. Your looks are this!" He gave her a thumbs-up.
Ye Mo scanned their surroundings, searching for Qi Yuheng, who had entered ahead of them. But he had evidently left long ago, and there was no sign of him anywhere. Finding nothing, she could only withdraw her gaze.
"Brother Hejia," she called with a smile. "Could you take us to Building C? We have something to do there."
At the same time, she asked 888 in her mind, [888, has Qi Yuwen come here yet?]
888: [Yes. Qi Yuwen came here at noon. He's in bed with Zhang Hanyue right now, stirring up clouds and rain... Host, would you like to watch a
livestream?
I can stream it live for you!]
[...No thanks,] Ye Mo declined. [Watching live erotica isn't a hobby of mine.]
[What about Qi Yuheng? Has he gone to Building C yet?] This was what Ye Mo cared about most.
888: [Yes! He's already downstairs at Building C!]
At that, Ye Mo's heart stirred, and she grew a little anxious.
"You want to go to Building C?" Hu Hejia knew nothing of what was going on behind the scenes. Having heard Ye Mo's request, he simply said, "Of course I can take you, but you need a key card to open the building doors. Otherwise, you can't get in... Wait a moment. I'll ask my friend to come down and get us."
Hu Hejia went to make a call. Ye Mo had not expected him to have a friend living in Building C. That was a pleasant surprise.
"What exactly are you following Qi Yuheng for?" Ye Yongming asked her.
A sly gleam appeared in Ye Mo's eyes. "Didn't I tell you? To watch the excitement!"
It would have been one thing if she did not know where the excitement was happening, but now it had been delivered right to her doorstep. Ye Mo felt it would be such a shame not to go and watch.
Hu Hejia's friend was also a third-generation rich heir. By the time Ye Mo and the others arrived downstairs at Building C, he was already waiting there, playing on his phone.
They exchanged greetings after meeting, and he was surprised to see Ye Mo too-she really was a big star, and plenty of people recognized her face.
After the introductions, the three of them entered the building.
"You're going to the thirteenth floor?" the friend asked. "Are you looking for someone?"
Hu Hejia said, "...Don't look at me. I don't know anything. Ye Yongming's the one who wants to go!"
The two looked at Ye Yongming. After thinking for a few seconds, Ye Yongming chose to look at Ye Mo, and all three gazes landed on her.
Ye Mo's tone was mysterious. "You'll find out in a moment."
The elevator rose to the thirteenth floor. Thankfully, this place did not require a separate access card for each floor. Otherwise, they really would not have been able to get onto the thirteenth floor without one.
The elevator stopped. Ye Mo motioned for the three beside her to stop too, then walked over to the corridor and stole a look. Sure enough, she saw Qi Yuheng standing outside apartment 1303.
-Thanks to 888, Ye Mo had not missed the best part.
"Did you follow Qi Yuheng here?" Hu Hejia took a look. He knew Qi Yuheng too, but did not understand why Ye Mo and Ye Yongming were following him. "Did he offend you?"
Ye Yongming: "..." Don't ask me. I'm just as lost.
Ye Mo turned and gestured for them to be quiet, whispering, "Do you want to watch the excitement or not? If you do, stop talking."
The three exchanged looks. Ye Yongming gave the other two a helpless look and said, "Let's listen to her. We ought to respect a lady's wishes."
The other two had no objections. Mainly, seeing how mysterious Ye Mo was being, they kept feeling that something exciting really might happen next.
And so, two more heads joined those peeking around the corner into the corridor.
