The so-called farewell banquet was not the kind of grand gathering at a hotel in later generations; it was just a simple meal in the cafeteria with a few extra meat dishes and a few bottles of liquor.
During this time, she has received a lot of care from the crew, especially Director Zhu.
If it were any other director, she wouldn't be able to live such an easy and free life.
Therefore, she expressed her gratitude with alcohol, and before she knew it, she had drunk too much.
During the meeting, the director jokingly suggested that they could collaborate again in the future. Xie Yuyao smiled and agreed, but her collaboration was not what the director had imagined—acting together.
Fueled by alcohol, Xie Yuyao took advantage of a moment when no one was looking and whispered in Director Zhu's ear, "Director Zhu, if you ever have a film you like but lack funding for any reason, just come to me."
Director Zhu was taken aback, but seeing the seriousness in Xie Yuyao's eyes, he nodded.
As things stand, all filming is funded by the film studio; there's no question of personal funding. However, Xie Yuyao is part of the Ye family and might have overheard some rumors. If she were to personally fund a film in the future, the returns would be substantial...
Because of Xie Yuyao's words, Director Zhu boldly seized the opportunity when the policy was first issued, becoming one of the lucky ones in the changing times.
Xie Yuyao unknowingly got drunk. Director Zhu knew she wouldn't stay overnight, so he had someone call the Ye family to pick her up. After learning that her boyfriend was already outside the film set, he had someone bring Zhao Honghui in.
Zhao Honghui had been waiting outside the film set for a long time. He felt a violent urge to rush in and take Yao Yao away, but he knew that this idea was wrong, and a battle was raging in his mind.
Just as his patience was about to run out, the crew came out and led him inside.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, he immediately spotted Yao Yao sitting in the crowd. She was intoxicated by the alcohol, and her whole demeanor was more charming and alluring than usual, making him want to hide her away and not let anyone see her.
After having a few drinks with the leaders and others, Zhao Honghui helped Xie Yuyao, who was swaying from the alcohol, leave.
"Yaoyao, don't drink so much when you're out alone in the future." After leaving the film set, Zhao Honghui changed from supporting her to carrying her, and carried her to the jeep across the street.
"Isn't it because of you!" Xie Yuyao burped, looking at Zhao Honghui with hazy eyes. "You said you would come to pick me up. You see, I need you so much, so you have to take good care of yourself, understand?"
"Okay." Zhao Honghui understood what she meant. It seemed that no matter how well he hid it, he couldn't fool Yao Yao. He needed to control himself even more to avoid doing anything crazy.
"etc!"
A woman's voice came from behind me.
Yao Qian caught up with him, biting her lip as she said to Zhao Honghui, "I have something I want to tell you."
Zhao Honghui's lips curled into a smile. Everything was ready, awaiting only final confirmation. It was good that Yao Qian had come to him before he even approached her.
Xie Yuyao's face turned cold: "What do you have to say to my man?"
Yao Qian ignored her and stared intently at Zhao Honghui.
Zhao Honghui told Xie Yuyao to get in the car first, but she stopped him, saying, "No! I want to see what kind of trouble she's up to."
"Sweetie, I'll tell you in a bit." Zhao Honghui gently coaxed and hugged Xie Yuyao as he pushed her into the car.
As soon as the car door closed, he seemed to change his demeanor, exuding a cold and domineering aura.
Zhao Honghui walked step by step towards Yao Qian, and when he got close, he bowed his head and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Yao Qian felt that he was like a leopard poised to pounce, and she was a little scared. But if she didn't act now, they would go back to Qingshan Village tomorrow, and she would lose her chance.
She mustered her courage and said, "Before Xie Yuyao recognized the old man as her godfather, she had a very close relationship with Ye Sanshao. I can see that you are infatuated with her. Don't be so naive as to be cheated on without even knowing it."
"Did you send that letter?" Zhao Honghui already had the answer in his heart, and now he was just waiting for her to make the final confirmation.
Yao Qian avoided eye contact and stammered, "What letter? I don't know."
Xie Yuyao's status is different now. She doesn't dare to confront the Ye family behind Xie Yuyao, so she can only cause trouble behind the scenes.
She didn't understand. Even though Zhao Honghui had received the letter, he was still acting all lovey-dovey with Xie Yuyao as usual. Did he really trust Xie Yuyao that much?
She knew Zhao Honghui's background; he was just from a remote mountain village, and for some reason, he had a good relationship with Ye Sanshao. And Xie Yuyao, taking advantage of his absence, was having an affair with his friend. Why should he believe they were completely innocent?
If there is even the slightest doubt, once the seed is planted, it will one day take root and sprout. Xie Yuyao will not have an easy time sooner or later, and then her goal will be achieved.
The problem is that this hothead truly trusts Xie Yuyao and Young Master Ye completely, without even a sliver of doubt.
The thought of this possibility made Yao Qian restless.
But she wasn't stupid enough to admit that she was the one who sent the photos, so she firmly denied it.
"You dare to do it but not to admit it, do you know you're fabricating stories and deliberately slandering me?" Zhao Honghui said disdainfully. "A woman like you isn't even worthy of carrying Yao Yao's shoes."
"What did you say?" Yao Qian was furious. "I just didn't want to see you being deceived. You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."
"You care about me so much, you don't have any ulterior motives towards me, do you? I heard you were the same way with Young Master Ye before. You're promiscuous yourself, yet you have the nerve to criticize others?" Zhao Honghui couldn't control the evil thoughts in his heart and blurted out the words he would never have said before.
"I didn't! Since you like being cuckolded so much, I don't care anymore!" Yao Qian ran away with red eyes.
Zhao Honghui gave a cold laugh, his sinister gaze fixed on her retreating figure until she disappeared from sight.
Xie Yuyao climbed out of the car and teased, "So reluctant to part?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Honghui suddenly turned around, his face expressionless, his eyes as deep as black holes. Xie Yuyao felt a chill run down her spine and gave an awkward smile: "I was just joking."
"Get in the car."
Xie Yuyao opened the car door and jumped inside. Soon, she was embraced by Zhao Honghui, who had gotten into the driver's seat.
A passionate kiss, as intense as a storm, suddenly erupted, revealing the man's powerful possessiveness.
Xie Yuyao felt like a small boat, bobbing up and down on a turbulent sea amidst a thunderstorm, facing the constant possibility of capsizing.
"Ugh... Get out of my way... I can't take it anymore..." Xie Yuyao uttered incoherently.
And what responded to her was an even more ardent and unbearable heart.
After a long while, Zhao Honghui finally released her, whispering in her ear, "Yaoyao, let's go back to Qingshan Village as soon as possible, okay?"
