Chapter 885 Many people have died
"Let's not even talk about these side dishes, but this porridge... it's all so watery..."
Ye Wanxi was amused by Zhao Yun'er's slightly hesitant and conflicted expression: "There's no need to sneak around taking it, just pack it up and take it away, isn't that enough?"
"...Take it all away?" Zhao Yun'er's eyes widened in surprise. "Would the production team agree to that?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at the person beside her and said the most frightening words in the gentlest tone: "You have to agree whether you want to or not."
Everyone: "..." How could they forget that there was an investor among these guests? Let alone takeout food, even if they asked for private meals, the director would probably bow down for the sake of the investment!
Zhao Yun'er glanced at the seafood porridge with plenty of ingredients that Ye Wanxi had brought, and then at the few steamed buns, mantou, and pastries she had brought with her. Her face immediately fell.
"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have hidden it so secretly."
Seeing that she was serious, Ye Wanxi's smile became even more genuine. She raised her hand and patted her head: "I was just kidding. The production team prepared such a big table of food for the sake of the show. How could we possibly finish all that food? After we finish eating, the untouched food will definitely be distributed to the other staff members."
"Since that's the case, we're worried we'll get hungry again later and won't have anything to eat, so what's wrong with getting some late-night snacks to go?"
Of course, her senior brother's status as an investor was also a major reason. The director probably knew who they were packing things up to give to, but he turned a blind eye for various reasons.
After hearing Ye Wanxi's explanation, everyone agreed that it made sense.
Zhao Yun'er felt even more regretful after hearing this: "If I had known the director would be so easy to talk to, why did I go through all that trouble to hide things? And all of them were these dry, tasteless things, when there were so many delicious things on the table..."
To put it bluntly, they thought the director was such a scoundrel that he couldn't possibly be so kind as to let them pack food to bring back for Lin Yuxiu to eat.
Furthermore, people tend to have fixed mindsets, and if they feel that taking something for free is not a good thing, they will naturally assume that this is how it should be done.
Little did they know, sometimes you have to be thick-skinned. The director and the production team are already so shameless, why should they be polite to him?
"No, no," Lin Yuxiu hurriedly waved her hand when she heard Zhao Yun'er say that.
She never expected that so many people would remember that she hadn't eaten anything that night and bring her food.
When she was hurt by the person she loved most, it was these people she had only met a few times who gave her warmth that she had never expected, which made her feel complicated and moved.
Clutching the steamed bun in her hand, Lin Yuxiu's eyes were red and she looked like she might cry at any moment: "I love all of these you brought, I will definitely finish them all later, thank you, thank you so much."
Zhao Yun'er and the others felt embarrassed after hearing what she said.
"No, no, no, it's not good to eat so much so late at night. You should drink the porridge Miss Ye brought first. You can save the rest for tomorrow morning. Who knows what kind of trouble the director might cause tomorrow?"
Thinking about this, Zhao Yun'er felt a little regretful. If she had known she could take things with her, she should have packed more buns.
Anyway, it's not too hot yet, and the production team has given her steamed buns in several flavors. She can pack some sweet ones to eat tomorrow, just in case the production team comes up with some rule that she can only eat after completing a task tomorrow morning.
Lin Yuxiu nodded, and remembering that the others were still standing at the door, she quickly made way for them to come inside and sit down.
Zhao Yun'er and the others came mainly to deliver food. Now that the food has been delivered, they wisely refrained from disturbing Lin Yuxiu's belated dinner.
"No, no, it's already very late. I've been running around looking for clues all day, and I'm exhausted. I want to go back and rest. You should finish your meal and get some rest too."
"Um, we're getting ready to go back too."
No one mentioned Lian Lifan, and no one cared whether he could find something to eat that night. After all, he was usually very self-righteous, so they figured he wouldn't really let himself go hungry.
After leaving Lin Yuxiu's place, everyone returned to their own residences.
Gu Shaoling and the other woman froze as they looked at the room full of antiques. They exchanged a glance and let out a long sigh.
Li Guangjun first escorted Zhao Yun'er back to her courtyard before turning back. Before leaving, he talked to an old woman and Zhao Yun'er for a long time.
This was Zhao Yun'er's first time spending the night away from home. Although she knew that the crew members were nearby and would keep an eye on things, she was still very worried.
After explaining a series of precautions, Li Guangjun couldn't help but ask, "How about I stay here tonight?"
Zhao Yun'er couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said with exasperation, "I'm not a three-year-old child who needs someone to accompany me! You should go back now, I can manage on my own. Didn't we stay separately when we were filming the show before?"
Moreover, they were still recording a program, and there was only one bed in the room. If Li Guangjun stayed overnight, they would definitely be on the front page tomorrow, and the headlines would be more sensational than the last.
Li Guangjun thought to himself, how could it be the same as before? We lived under the same roof. Although there were two rooms, they were right next to each other. If anything happened to her, I could react immediately.
This time they were in two separate courtyards, so far apart that even if something happened to Zhao Yun'er, he wouldn't be able to find out immediately.
"Alright, alright, you should go back now. I need to rest. Let's go, let's go."
In the end, Zhao Yun'er pushed Li Guangjun out the door. Looking at the door that was ruthlessly closed in front of him, Li Guangjun sighed helplessly, knowing that he probably wouldn't get a good night's sleep.
Ye Wanxi and her companion also returned, but they lingered in the garden outside for a while longer on their way back.
"This house is very special."
I didn't notice it when I was outside the house, but once I got inside, I realized that there was a kind of energy swirling inside.
This feeling isn't inherently bad, but it's mixed with too many things—love and hate, anger and resentment—which unconsciously affects people, leaving them feeling heavy-hearted.
"This may be one of the reasons why Uncle allowed us to come in here to film."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi suddenly turned to look at him: "Do you know something?"
Feng Tianyu shook his head: "This is a secret of the Yang family, and it's at least a hundred years old. Even they, as descendants, probably don't fully know what happened back then. Although my father had a good relationship with my uncle, he didn't pry into the affairs of their ancestors. I only know..."
"What?"
"Many people have died here."
