Qi Yuheng cherished his younger brother and trusted him deeply. Otherwise, he would not have been deceived for so many years. Unless the evidence was laid out clearly before him, he would definitely choose to believe Qi Yuwen.

Ye Mo's gaze flickered. She looked at the three men beside her and asked, "Want to watch a good show? If you do, follow my lead in a moment."

Three minutes later, the Qi brothers, who were talking at the door, were greeted by Ye Mo and her three companions.

"Mr. Qi!" Ye Mo looked at Qi Yuheng with a face full of delighted surprise, her tone sincere and earnest. "What a coincidence! To think we'd run into each other here."

Qi Yuheng gave her a strange look. "Miss Ye? What are you doing here?"

He recalled that Ye Mo had been the one to tell him yesterday to come here today. That made her appearance before him now worth thinking about. Surely it could not really be a coincidence?

"I'm here to see a friend!" Ye Mo said casually. Looking at Qi Yuwen beside him, she added, "You must be the boss of Star Chasing Entertainment. I've heard so much about you!"

She looked at him with a beaming smile. "Your Star Chasing Entertainment has snatched more than one role from me."

At that, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Qi Yuwen's face. Already aware of Ye Mo's identity, he hurriedly apologized. "Miss Ye, I'm truly sorry about that. If I'd known you were the young lady of the Ye Corporation, I wouldn't have dared let anyone in my company steal your roles even if I'd had ten times the courage!"

Completely at ease, Ye Mo said, "So what you mean, Mr. Qi, is that if I weren't the young lady of the Ye Corporation, I would have deserved to have my roles stolen by Star Chasing?"

She sighed. "It seems I'm really lucky, then. Otherwise, I'd have had to swallow all that bitterness."

Qi Yuwen: "..." You're making this very difficult to respond to.

"Pfft!"

Ye Mo suddenly laughed. "Don't take it to heart, Mr. Qi. I'm only joking... By the way, is this your home? A chance meeting is fate. Surely you wouldn't begrudge me a cup of tea?"

At that moment, the three men, whom Ye Mo had already instructed, immediately reacted and spoke up one after another:

"Running into each other is fate. Mr. Qi certainly won't mind. Let's all go inside and sit down. Why stand around outside chatting?"

"Exactly! Sorry to intrude, Mr. Qi!"

"..."

Completely ignoring Qi Yuwen's abruptly changing expression and his attempts to stop them, the three men turned the door handle and cheerfully barged inside. Then they began wandering around without treating themselves as guests at all.

"Wait! You can't go in!" Qi Yuwen tried to stop

them, but someone suddenly stepped in front of him.

Ye Mo looked at him with a beaming smile. "You don't mind us coming in for a bit, do you, Mr. Qi?"

Qi Yuwen's expression twisted. At the thought of the person still lying in bed, he grew unbearably anxious. Frantic and furious, he reached out to sweep Ye Mo aside. "Get out of my way!"

The next second, someone caught his hand in midair as he swung it toward Ye Mo.

Tall, burly, and covered in muscle, Ye Yongming looked down at him and demanded, "What do you think you're doing?"

Qi Yuwen gritted his teeth. "What am I doing? I should be asking you that! Barging into someone else's home without permission-what are you trying to do?" For a certain reason, his tone was filled with alarm and anger, brimming with anxiety and agitation.

"We're not trying to do anything." Ye Mo looked at him calmly and said at a leisurely pace, "I just think it's really pitiful that your brother has been kept in the dark by you about certain things. Some things are better for him to know."

At that, the look Qi Yuwen gave Ye Mo became terrifying. He shouted in alarm and fury, "You bitch-"

"Ah!"

Just then, a startled cry drowned out his curse, followed by Hu Hejia shouting from inside, "Zhang Hanyue, what are you doing here?"

From the moment Ye Mo and the others rushed over, to Qi Yuwen suddenly cursing at Ye Mo, to Hu Hejia shouting, Qi Yuheng had been somewhat out of it, completely unaware of what was happening. Only when he heard the name "Zhang Hanyue" did the corner of his eye twitch involuntarily.

There was no way Qi Yuheng would fail to remember his own fiancée's name. Upon hearing it, countless images flashed through his mind like flowers viewed from horseback. What finally remained was the terrified expression Qi Yuwen had worn when he opened the door and saw him standing there.

Realizing something, he abruptly turned to Qi Yuwen, his gaze filled with alarm, anger, and profound disbelief.

Qi Yuwen's gaze flickered, and he instinctively avoided his eyes.

Qi Yuheng withdrew his gaze and strode into the house. Seeing this, Qi Yuwen instinctively reached out to stop him. "Brother..."

"Move!" Qi Yuheng slapped his hand away and walked straight inside, his steps utterly decisive.

Unable to stop him, Qi Yuwen turned to glare at Ye Mo. "You... ah!"

His voice abruptly turned into a cry of pain.

Ye Mo withdrew the foot she had kicked his shin with and smiled. "Mr. Qi, I'm petty, and I repay even the smallest slight. That kick was payback for calling me a bitch just now..."

He should not think she had failed to hear his curse just because Hu Hejia's voice had drowned it out. Her ears were very sharp.

Qi Yuwen felt excruciating pain in his shin. He even suspected that Ye Mo's kick had shattered the bone. In pain and fury, he demanded, "Have I ever offended you before? Why are you doing this to me?"

Ye Mo sneered. "Exposing what you've done counts as harming you? That makes no sense at all."

Ultimately, if Qi Yuwen had not done those filthy things, how could he have ended up with this result?

"As for how you've offended me..." Ye Mo shrugged and said lightly, "You haven't. I'm just kindhearted. When I see injustice on the road, I want to step in."

Hearing that, Qi Yuwen's eyes nearly split with rage, and flames all but shot from them.

[This Qi Yuwen is rotten to the core!] 888 declared indignantly in Ye Mo's mind. [His relationships with men and women are a complete mess. Whenever he spots a minor celebrity he likes, he uses his power to pressure them into becoming his lover. If they refuse, he either blacklists them or sets them up!]

All in all, he really was a terrible person.

Ye Mo: [I know what kind of person he is.]

She had once met a girl whom Qi Yuwen had forced himself on. Such an innocent girl had entered the glamorous world of entertainment with the most beautiful dreams, only to become hysterical, timid, and fearful in the end. Her parents could only take her home, and she left in dejection.

And what of Qi Yuwen, who had done all this? To him, that girl was merely a flower he had casually plucked from among countless blossoms out of boredom. Once he tired of playing with her, he threw her away. He had never taken her to heart at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo leaned closer to Qi Yuwen and said softly, "Tell me, after something like this has happened, if your elder brother finds out you've been colluding with those dear brothers of yours behind his back, do you think he'll still treat you as well as he used to?"

She smiled. "And without Fengxing's support or your elder brother's trust, will you still be able to thrive like a fish in water, doing whatever you please?"

At that, blood rushed to Qi Yuwen's head, and a curse escaped his mouth. "Bitch..."

Smack!

Ye Mo slapped him across the face. Her expression chilled as she said coldly, "Mr. Qi, I just told you that I'm a very petty person. When someone insults me, I remember it!"

"And if I were you, I wouldn't choose to offend me again at a time like this!"

"You've already lost your elder brother's protection and support. If you offend the Ye Family too, do you think you can keep your position in the Qi Family? Your father, Mr. Qi Youcai, probably wouldn't want a son who's offended the Ye Family, would he? And as for those brothers of yours, I imagine plenty of them would love to stand where you are now!"
