Mr. He: "So it's Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao, could you please move aside? You're blocking my way."
The man's tone was extremely Yiben, Ye Mo almost burst out laughing when he heard it. He couldn't imagine what kind of expression Qiao Jiaojiao would have upon hearing this, but it certainly wouldn't be very pleasant.
Ouch!
Suddenly, Qiao Jiaojiao let out a cry of surprise, and then Ye Mo heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, which made her turn her head and peek out secretly.
Then, she saw a tall voice facing her, and then she saw Qiao Jiaojiao sitting on the ground with her back to her.
--Clearly, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground just now was the sound of Qiao Jiaojiao falling to the ground.
Just then, Mr. He. He seemed to sense Ye Mo's presence and suddenly looked up directly in Ye Mo's direction.
Ye Mo was startled and reflexively pulled his head back, feeling his heart pounding like a drum, utterly terrified.
"Such keen perception!" Ye Mo thought to himself.
She had only glanced at the other person casually, and that one glance was enough for them to sense it; their perception was terrifyingly sharp.
She felt that it was best for her to stay put and not show herself anymore; it would be fine to just stay here.
" Mr. He, why didn't you catch me?" Qiao Jiaojiao complained in a coquettish voice, her tone tinged with embarrassment and resentment, clearly displeased that " Mr. He " hadn't caught her.
Upon hearing this, Mr. He withdrew his gaze from the opposite side and said in a calm tone, "When I saw Miss Qiao suddenly pounce on me, I thought it was some kind of performance art by Miss Qiao."
Hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao remained silent for a long time, clearly angered.
After about ten seconds, Ye Mo heard her say in a tone of embarrassment and anger, "... Everyone says Mr. He is a gentleman, but now it seems he's nothing special!"
After saying that, she snorted coldly and quickly left.
As Ye Mo listened to Qiao Jiaojiao's footsteps fading into the distance, he let out a soft breath and said to 888, "[888, keep an eye on things for me. Make sure she's not far away. Call me if she is!]"
She'll come out then.
[Host...] 888's voice was somewhat hesitant as it said, [Look up behind you.]
Ye Mo was taken aback and subconsciously looked up, where he saw a handsome face with bright eyes and arched eyebrows, as beautiful as the moon.
Ye Mo: "..."
So, does she have some kind of "gossip-obsessed" debuff on her today? How come she was caught by the parties involved both times she tried to gossip?
Ye Mo frowned as she looked at the very handsome Mr. He. He, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you, and what are you doing hiding here?"
Ye Mo looked at the other person with an obedient expression and said that familiar sentence again, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't eavesdrop on purpose?"
Mr. He. He didn't say whether he believed him or not, but he looked at Ye Mo with a strange gaze. After several seconds, he asked, "Are you an actor filming here?"
Ye Mo glanced at his theatrical costume and, unsurprisingly, it was obvious.
Mr. He then asked, "Do you know that Miss Qiao from earlier?"
Ye Mo looked at him, and now only had one thought in mind.
"Could you move aside? I'm feeling a bit suffocated by your blocking the way," she said.
"..."
Seeing her huddled on the ground, Mr. He. He Momo took two steps back, giving Ye Mo room to stand up.
Ye Mo stood up, stretched comfortably, and then explained to Mr. He, "I really didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that the atmosphere was like that. I felt that if I stood up, all three of us would be embarrassed."
Yeah, right.
She wouldn't feel embarrassed at all.
Ye Mo scoffed inwardly.
Mr. He. He said calmly, "Eavesdropping on others is not the behavior of a gentleman."
Ye Mo looked at the other person and asked, "Are you saying I'm a despicable person?"
Mr. He, who never expected her to say that, was momentarily speechless for a few seconds before saying, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to tell you that you shouldn't eavesdrop on other people's conversations anymore. If you encounter bad people, your behavior could be very dangerous."
"Oh," Ye Mo obediently replied, appearing extremely docile at this moment, "Then can I go?"
Mr. He: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Mo took it as a tacit agreement and immediately turned to run away.
"Wait!" Mr. He. He suddenly called out to her.
Ye Mo paused, wanting to just run away, but in the end she took a deep breath and turned around, asking, "Is there anything else?"
Mr. He. He looked at her with some hesitation, and asked tentatively, "What's your name?"
What, you want to know my name so you can easily cause me trouble later?
Ye Mo gritted his teeth inwardly, not minding judging others by his own petty standards.
"Me?" Her eyes lit up. "My name is Zhou Xiaoyu!"
After saying that, she immediately made her escape, quickly heading back to the "crime scene" where she had been caught.
Only after running until Mr. He. He was out of sight did Ye Mo wipe the sweat from his brow and say, "Looks like today isn't a good day for eating melons..."
After much painful reflection, Ye Mo decided that if she saw any more gossip today, she would definitely not go and join in the fun.
[888, how much did you earn today to Gossip Points?] she asked 888.
888 immediately checked the data and happily said: [Host, you've earned 185 points of Gossip Points today!]
The majority of the money came from Jiang Yiben and Zhu Hong, as well as Qiao Jiaojiao and that Mr. He.
Ye Mo cheered inwardly after hearing this: Yay!
Then, she sincerely thanked Zhu Hong and the others in her heart for contributing her " Gossip Points." If she were to win the Best Actress award in the future, they would all be her heroes.
Ye Mo instantly forgot the thought that today was not a good day to gossip.
There's a saying that goes, "Fortune favors the bold." If she wants to gain more Gossip Points, so what if she gets caught? She'll dare to do it again next time.
***
When Ye Mo returned to the film set, she found that Zhu Hong and Jiang Yiben had already returned. She glanced at the two of them briefly.
The relationship between Zhu Hong and Jiang Yiben was well concealed, but no matter how well it was concealed, there would still be some shady dealings, it's just that no one had ever thought of it before.
Ye Mo realized that he and everyone else had been completely deaf and blind before. How could they have missed it entirely?
"Where did you go before Sister Momo?" Zhou Xiaoyu brushed the fallen leaves and weeds off Ye Mo's costume. "Why are there so many messy leaves stuck to your back?"
Ye Mo thought to himself: I'm going to go eat some melon seeds.
"I just wandered around," she said, "And then I sat down on a lawn..." and overheard some gossip along the way.
However, she was still careful with her costume, always lifting it up wherever she went to avoid getting it dirty. It was only when she returned later, when Qiao Jiaojiao reflexively dodged, that she didn't notice.
Ye Mo remained calm and composed, while Zhu Hong seemed somewhat distracted.
She stared blankly at Jiang Yiben, who was sitting in a chair reading a script. Ye Mo's words kept echoing in her mind. Her emotions told her to trust Jiang Yiben, but her reason told her that there was nothing wrong with investigating. If Jiang Yiben hadn't deceived her, there wouldn't be any problem with her investigating.
