The thirty-second melon: What melon? Take thirty-two bites...

Ye Mo glanced at Mr. Liu. The man looked quite young, with very defined muscles; his size was equivalent to that of two Ye Mo.

"Okay," Ye Mo replied.

And so, Ye Mo and Ye Lin began their training, each on one side without disturbing the other.

Ye Mo is a very persistent and determined person. If she says she's going to exercise, then she really does it seriously. She doesn't stop exercising until the one hour she set is up.

When she finished, Ye Lin had already finished his workout and was standing to the side with his arms crossed, watching her exercise. Only after she finished did he ask her:

Why did you suddenly decide to exercise?

Ye Mo: "... I ate too much last night, I'm afraid I'll gain weight."

Some people have a constitution that allows them to eat as much as they want without gaining weight, but Ye Mo is clearly not one of them. She doesn't gain weight easily, but if she eats too much and doesn't exercise, she will still gain weight.

As the two walked outside, Ye Lin said, "You were still asleep when I came back last night. Did you wake up in the middle of the night?"

Ye Mo nodded. "I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and the more I slept, the hungrier I got. I got up and found something to eat... and ate quite a lot."

Back in the main house, Ruan Xianyue saw her and asked her similar questions, asking if she had woken up in the middle of the night, because most of the food that had been kept warm in the kitchen had been eaten when she woke up in the morning.

Ye Mo answered her, then went upstairs to wash up. When he came downstairs, everyone in the family was sitting at the dining table, ready to have breakfast.

During breakfast, the Ye Family mentioned Ye Mo's second brother, saying that he would finally be returning from abroad soon, within the next couple of days. Hearing this, Ye Mo's eyelids twitched.

Speaking of this second brother, Ye Mo and he have quite a "connection".

Chapter 32 The thirty-second melon... what kind of melon is it? It's the one you eat thirty-two times...

Ye Mo's second brother is named Ye Sen, a singer. He and Ye Mo are roughly in the same circle, so the two had a brief encounter.

That happened a few months ago. The two of them happened to attend the same event, but they didn't actually have any direct contact during the event. Ye Mo just happened to overhear Ye Sen talking to someone else.

At that time, a group of people in the industry were sitting together talking. Ye Sen, the second young master of the Ye Corporation, was surrounded by everyone. He had an indifferent expression, just like a noble and unapproachable emperor.

Someone jokingly said to him, "... That actress Ye Mo, I think she looks somewhat like you, Mr. Ye. You both have the same surname, could you be related?"

"I heard Mr. Ye has a younger sister, could it be that this Ye Mo..." someone interrupted.

"No." Ye Sen denied it outright before anyone could finish speaking. His tone was indifferent, not exactly cold, as if he were simply stating a fact. "Not everyone in the world with the surname Ye is related to the Ye Corporation family, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is my sister."

Ye Mo Ye Mo overheard these words, and others from the same circle were with him at the time, including his old rival He Zhen Ye Mo.

The others were polite and looked embarrassed, so they didn't say anything. But He Zhen didn't give Ye Mo any face. She immediately laughed out loud without any politeness and looked at Ye Mo with a very direct gaze.

"... Did you hear that? Young Master Ye said that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be his sister," He Zhen said sarcastically.

Their commotion was so loud that the group of people chatting couldn't help but look over. When they saw Ye Mo standing in the crowd, many of them showed embarrassed expressions, and even the Second Young Master Ye looked stunned.

To actually elicit such an expression from the esteemed Second Young Master Ye, I must admit I'm quite something.

Thinking this to himself, Ye Mo smiled at the Second Young Master Ye from afar, displaying an expression that showed he held no grudges whatsoever.

Of course, only Ye Mo knows for sure whether he held a grudge or not.

Ye Mo to what had happened before, Ye Mo suddenly wondered what the Second Young Master Ye, who had gone abroad, would think when he returned and found that she, this "cat and dog," had really become his sister.

Thinking of this, an amused expression couldn't help but appear on her face.

Ye Lin, who was sitting next to her, noticed her expression and asked in a low voice, "What naughty thing are you thinking about again?"

Ye Mo said lazily, "Brother, that's quite an interesting thing to say. What bad things could I possibly be thinking? Everyone knows I'm the kindest person I can be."

Ye Lin: Do you think I believe what you're saying? You previously said that you're vindictive and petty.

However, Ye Lin thought again, being petty is better than being bullied and then generously saying it's okay. As for Ye Mo bullying others? Well, it doesn't matter who his sister bullies, since the Ye Corporation is behind her.

Moreover, Ye Lin clearly saw that Ye Mo was indeed vengeful, but she wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable or didn't know right from wrong. She usually only retaliated when someone provoked her first, so Ye Lin trusted her completely.

He just didn't know who had angered her this time and was now holding a grudge against her—Ren Ye Lin never imagined that the person Ye Mo was holding a grudge against would be his own younger brother.

Ye Mo returned to the film set in the afternoon with the costume she had changed out of.

Yesterday, or more accurately, the night before last, although some unexpected events occurred, the crew did not stop filming today and continued working as planned.

When the crew members got together, they inevitably talked about what happened that night, especially after they learned that Wu Fang, the niece of Wu Jianrong, the head of the props department, had also been taken away by the police. They were even more shocked and curious about the matter, and whenever they weren't working, they would gather in twos and threes to discuss it.

"... I heard that Wu Fang put a bomb on the props that day. If Miss Ye hadn't noticed, she would have been blown up."

"Wow, really? How did you know?"

"Someone overheard Brother Wu calling Wu Fang's parents and mentioning this... Tell me, what kind of grudge does Wu Fang have against Miss Ye that she would dare to set off a bomb? Miss Ye didn't have any prior conflict with her, did she?"

"Even if there's some grudge, this girl's actions are terrifying. If you offend her, she'll throw bombs at you. How horrifying is that!"

"Then what about that man who suddenly rushed over that day, trying to kill Miss Ye?"

"It's an accident if one person wants to kill her, but it's definitely not an accident if two people want to kill her, right? I think maybe Ye Mo is a bad person who did something to offend someone, so they came to take revenge."

"Having a grudge."

"Pah! What nonsense are you spouting? Now you're blaming the victim? How dare you say that!"

"Where did I go wrong? Then why did Wu Fang throw a bomb at Ye Mo instead of others? Isn't it because she's a bad person?"

"Shh, keep your voices down, don't let Director He hear you..."

Not everyone in the crew liked Ye Mo. Some people disliked her and naturally thought it was her fault. It takes two to tango, but fortunately, such people were in the minority. Every time someone said something like that, they would be criticized by others.

Under these circumstances, the atmosphere on set became somewhat restless, and filming did not proceed as smoothly as before. This left Director He in a state of constant anxiety and in a particularly unpleasant mood.

When Ye Mo and the others arrived, they caught Director He berating the male and female leads. The first thing they heard upon entering was him shouting, "... If you don't want to film properly, get out! My crew doesn't keep useless people!"

Although everyone had gotten somewhat used to Director He's volatile temper, they all behaved extremely obediently whenever he started yelling, otherwise, if Director He had his eye on them, they would be the next ones to be scolded.
