One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos Chapter 167 – Chapter 167: Chapter 144 Passionate Embrace

Chapter 167: Chapter 144 Passionate Embrace

At last.

Ye Xiao took on the significant task of watching Ye Zhaoyu.

Ye Xiao stared at the hurriedly departing figure of Ye Lin,

feeling somewhat bewildered.

What's going on?

It's only been a few minutes, and everyone from the family has left?

So now it was just her and the self-absorbed Ye Zhaoyu?

Directly opposite the hotel was a cafe.

Du Yaru, in disguise, sat in the cafe, keeping her eyes fixed on the hotel entrance.

The hotel had only one main entrance.

She would definitely see Tong Simeng leaving or Yue Heng entering.

Nearby on the basketball court.

Ye Bolin was shooting hoops half-heartedly,

his gaze drifting towards the intersection from time to time.

If one was coming from the airport, they would pass through this intersection.

By waiting here, he was sure to catch Yue Heng.

At the top floor of the business club.

Ye Mingcheng had rented out an entire floor and was now looking down at the hotel from his high vantage point.

This time, he had taken matters into his own hands and was determined to get the evidence he needed.

At the entrance of the hotel.

The people entrusted by Ye Zhaoyu and the tabloid journalists Ye Lin had brought in were already in hiding.

They were all waiting for Yue Heng to show up.

It was a full-on assault!

The sky gradually darkened.

One by one, others called to say they wouldn't be coming home for dinner, but the chef still prepared a lavish meal.

Ye Xiao called Ye Zhaoyu to have dinner together.

Ye Zhaoyu, having sorted himself out all afternoon, now seemed much more composed and ready to face what was to come.

“Where is everyone else?” Ye Zhaoyu asked, surprised.

“They all had something to attend to and had to leave suddenly,” Ye Xiao said honestly.

Ye Zhaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been trying to think of an excuse to leave the house, but with no one else around, it shouldn't be a problem.

He glanced at Ye Xiao, figuring he just needed to say a word to Xiaoxiao before leaving.

[Ah! Yue Heng is disembarking from the plane right now, on his way to the hotel. Although he isn't here yet, he and Tong Simeng have been on the phone the whole way here, already deep in tender conversation.]

Ye Zhaoyu: “…”

Ye Zhaoyu ate dinner quickly and then said, “Xiaoxiao, I've arranged to meet with a friend, I'll be out for a while.”

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up as she nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay.”

Perfect.

If no one else was around, she could sneak out and watch the show.

“Stay at home, don't go out, I'll be back soon,” Ye Zhaoyu added, somewhat worriedly.

Ye Xiao nodded incessantly.

Still unsure, Ye Zhaoyu took the time to instruct the butler before hurrying off to the hotel.

Ye Xiao waited a while, then couldn't wait to get ready to leave.

She was set on seeing tonight's spectacle.

Tong Simeng and Yue Heng were the male and female leads appearing last.

The plots involving the previous three pairs of lead characters had all been altered by her to varying degrees.

This pair of leads also deserved their share of attention.

After all, some word count should be spent on them as well.

Just as Ye Xiao was about to leave, the butler stopped her.

The butler looked embarrassed, “Miss, the lady and the master, as well as several young masters, gave orders that it's not safe at night, and the miss must not go out alone.”

Ye Xiao: “!!!”

They all rushed off in such a hurry, yet they still had time to give such instructions.

Could it be.

That she was doomed to miss out on watching the spectacle?

Ye Xiao immediately felt frustrated and despondent.

Suddenly.

She remembered something.

You can't go out alone.

Well then.

How about two people?

That shouldn't be a problem, right?

Ye Xiao flashed a sweet smile, “Uncle Butler, I'm not alone, actually, I arranged to meet with Gu Yan.”

According to Ye Xiao's experience, Gu Yan's name was always the best to use when she wanted to go out.

The butler was taken aback for a moment, “The young master of Gu Family?”

Ye Xiao nodded desperately, “If you don't believe me, I'll call him and you can ask him yourself.”

Another thing Ye Xiao had learned was that once she said this, people usually believed her.

The butler nodded, “Alright, please call to confirm.”

Ye Xiao's smile froze on her lips.

Why didn't it go as she had experienced!

Ye Xiao fumbled around slowly, trying to pull out her phone from her pocket. After a great effort, she finally took it out, but then she couldn't unlock it for ages.

The butler smiled and said, “Miss, it's really not safe for you to go out alone.”

Ye Xiao clenched her teeth, “I really did arrange to meet with Gu Yan.”

She bravely made a call to Gu Yan, and in front of the butler, she turned on the speakerphone.

Ye Xiao silently prayed in her heart.

Gu Yan had to be smart enough.

Otherwise, she would have to change her gossip partner!

The phone was picked up within a second.

Before Gu Yan could speak, Ye Xiao hurriedly said, “Gu Yan, have you left yet? Weren't we supposed to meet tonight to go to the park? Shall we just meet directly at the park later?”

Gu Yan paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

He said with a smile, “How could I forget? I will be at the Ye Family soon, wait for me a little while.”

Ye Xiao sighed with relief.

Thank goodness.

Gu Yan's IQ was still online, and he did not blow her cover.

“See, it's really arranged,” Ye Xiao said with sincerity.

The butler smiled gently, “Then let's wait for the young master of the Gu Family.”

Ye Xiao had no other option.

She didn't know why her family was so worried about her; she was not a three-year-old girl who couldn't go out alone at night.

Wuwuwu.

This is so unfair!

Next time, she must protest against this!

Gu Yan arrived quickly, and once he did, the butler did not hesitate to let him through.

Ye Xiao got into the car and said somewhat glumly, “If you're busy with something, you don't need to bother about me. Just drop me off ahead and that's fine.”

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, “I'm not busy with anything. Even if I were, it wouldn't be as important as this moment.”

Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly brightened.

She gazed at Gu Yan, and her eyes sparkled as if they were filled with stars.

Gu Yan's heart also started racing.

His words were somewhat straightforward.

Had Xiaoxiao caught on to his feelings?

Could today be the day he faces his fate?

Gu Yan found himself both nervous and excited.

Ye Xiao spoke up, “You've also guessed that there will be some gossip to see next, haven't you?”

Gu Yan, “????”

What kind of strange turn was this?

Ye Xiao was even more satisfied, “The whole world may be large, but there's nothing bigger than enjoying some juicy gossip. This is indeed the most important thing.”

Gu Yan fell silent.

The 'more important thing' he was talking about was…

Nevermind.

As long as Ye Xiao was happy.

“So, where are we headed now?” Gu Yan asked with a smile.

Ye Xiao quickly gave an address, “If we go now, we'll still make it in time to catch the drama.”

She loved to be in on the gossip, but this matter wasn't as simple as just enjoying the rumors.

After all, it was about her own brother.

She couldn't let him be kept in the dark forever!

She needed to find a way to bring this matter to light.

At the hotel entrance.

Yue Heng hadn't arrived yet.

Tong Simeng couldn't wait and went downstairs to meet him early.

Many eyes immediately turned towards her.

At last.

Yue Heng arrived.

Tong Simeng looked at him, her eyes gradually reddening as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Yue Heng felt a pang of pain for her and in a few strides rushed over to embrace her tightly.

“Simeng. If Ye Zhaoyu doesn't treasure you, I do. Can you please stop being sad over him?”

Tong Simeng shook her head, her eyes turning even redder. She leaned into Yue Heng's chest as her tears began to fall drop by drop.

“Click, click.”

The tabloid reporters secretly snapped photos.

Meanwhile, the private detectives hired by Ye Zhaoyu also started frantically finding angles to take pictures.

As they walked, the two sides bumped into each other.

Looking at the cameras in their respective hands, the private detective paused for a moment, “Colleague?”

The tabloid reporter nodded.

The two of them continued shooting in tacit understanding.

After taking the photos, the detective immediately sent them to Ye Zhaoyu.
