Chapter 239 Sowing discord
After verifying the information, the other two female corpses, one large and one small, were found to be mother and daughter. Fang Yanmu has notified their families, and it is estimated that someone will come to claim them soon.
The case has been largely sorted out, except for Chen Gu's motive for murder, which remains unclear.
It doesn't matter, he's not human, we can just get rid of him when the variety show ends.
Chen Gu arrived late at 10:30.
He didn't come out of the cabin; he appeared silently behind the guests.
"I apologize to everyone, I am not feeling well, that is why I am late."
There were four wooden crates, each half a meter high, at Chen Gu's feet. No one knew when he had moved them there.
"The tools, materials, and methods for making lanterns are all included. The four groups can allocate them themselves, and please make sure to finish before dinner."
After saying that, Chen Gu staggered into the wooden house, not even bothering to close the door.
Everyone could guess what was in the box, and the scene was quiet; no one dared to voice their opinion.
Finally, Ye Jingke broke the silence first, "Let's do as the village chief says. He seems a bit off; he shouldn't cause trouble today."
He casually picked a box and walked at the front without changing his expression.
Zhong Zheyi and Nan Chuan are artists under Shengding International, so they naturally obeyed.
However, both of them had a momentary crack in their expressions when they picked up the box.
The three female guests followed their partners closely, leaving only two people in front of the cabin.
This morning, Cheng Ai added Xie Qing on WeChat and learned that Chen Gu had been driven away by talismans last night. She wanted to go in and check on his condition.
If the other party is seriously injured, I can take advantage of his weakness and kill him!
Liao Yunqing kept staring at Cheng Ai, his gaze filled with affection and tenderness.
So this is what it feels like to be with someone you like. I'm so envious and jealous of Ye Jingke.
His gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on her rosy, slightly swollen lips, and he unconsciously swallowed.
Damn Ye Jingke, with a beauty in his arms, he should be tender and gentle with her, how could he bear to say such a harsh thing?
With the photographer and an annoying person nearby, Cheng Ai hesitated for a moment, then decided to give up on entering the cabin.
After all, if something were to happen to the village chief, the variety show would also be affected.
Seeing that Liao Yunqing had not yet expressed his opinion, she sighed softly, easily picked up the box, and slowly walked forward.
I'm strong, so doing some work won't hurt me.
Liao Yunqing was still admiring Cheng Ai's beauty when he saw that she had already left, so he hurriedly chased after her and snatched the box away.
But he overestimated himself and underestimated the weight of the box.
The moment Liao Yunqing caught the box, her waist involuntarily bent slightly.
Cheng Ai curled her lips into a cold smile, "Are you even capable? Or should I do it?"
Liao Yunqing gritted her teeth, straightened her back, raised her chin, and continued walking.
He's a grown man; he can't be inferior to a girl.
"It's just a few steps, you don't need to worry."
Liao Yunqing's trembling voice betrayed his unease, but Cheng Ai seemed not to hear it, leisurely following him.
She was overjoyed that someone was willing to do the hard labor, so why would she try to stop it?
The few steps Liao Yunqing mentioned would normally take about twenty minutes to walk, but now, with the weight on, it would probably take half an hour.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead and trickled down his cheeks, exuding masculine charm.
The three brothers, Lü, Liao, and Ye, each have their own characteristics. Lü Hanmo is a typical smiling tiger, only showing his true colors to family and friends, and always smiling.
Ye Jingke is known for his cold and aloof demeanor, which his fans adore. In reality, he is cunning and ruthless, showing no mercy to anyone.
Of course, Cheng Ai is an exception.
He couldn't stay calm whenever it involved her.
Liao Yunqing, on the other hand, was the gentle and refined type, polite but always had a sense of contempt that made people extremely uncomfortable.
Coupled with his arrogant and conceited behavior, Ye Jingke and Lü Hanmo intentionally distanced themselves from him.
As time passed, Liao Yunqing grew breathless and her legs ached.
No, I need to shift my focus, otherwise I'll collapse before I even get to the family I'm assigned to.
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and his face lit up with joy.
If I marry Cheng Ai, my mother's illness will be cured, and my sister will be able to marry into the Ye family smoothly. This is a win-win-win situation, which couldn't be better.
Liao Yunqing rolled her eyes and leaned closer to Cheng Ai. "Xiao Ai, Jing Ke just moved the boxes without waiting for you. Aren't you angry?"
He tried to sow discord between the two so he could take advantage of the situation.
Cheng Ai straightened her thin gauze top and coldly replied, "Ye Ye and I are not partners. Being overly affectionate on variety shows would be annoying."
Liao Yunqing pressed on, "You're all celebrities, you all have acting skills. If one of you has ulterior motives and deliberately hides it, wouldn't the other person be too pitiful?"
“He won’t.” Cheng Ai pursed her lips, her eyes resolute. “Neither will I.”
With the bond from their past life, she and Ye Ye were a match made in heaven.
"Don't be so sure of yourself." Liao Yunqing smiled slightly, her voice gentle. "People can change, and besides, Jingke is very outstanding. Uncle Ye will object to a marriage that is not a good match between people from different social classes."
"Huh?" Cheng Ai looked confused. "What do you mean by 'not a good match'? Besides, I'm marrying Ye Ye, not Uncle Ye. Why doesn't he agree?"
Liao Yunqing looked at her with a puzzled expression, her brows furrowing.
He couldn't believe Cheng Ai didn't understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle.
But he still patiently explained that he had to pamper the girl he had his eye on!
"Wealthy families value marriage between people of equal social standing. You, an illegitimate daughter from a humble family, will not be of any help to Jing Ke in the business world."
For example, if Jingke went bankrupt, all you could do was stay by his side; you didn't even have the right to break up with him, unless you wanted to ruin your career and be ridiculed by the public.
If Yunyan joined the Ye family, the outcome would be completely different. She would inject funds when Shengding International faces a crisis, and Jingke wouldn't have to bear the burden alone, nor would he go bankrupt.
Cheng Ai's eyes darkened as she retorted, "I have money, and I can invest too!"
No wonder so many people opposed her relationship with Ye Ye; it turns out that in their eyes, she was a burden!
It seems that this is indeed the case; ever since returning from the mental hospital, she has been taking care of herself every night.
Although I suffered a few grievances on his behalf, they were nothing compared to the others.
Ugh, I even opened a bank account when I first started filming the variety show, and now I really regret it.
Others spared no expense to bribe Zhao Nan and buy her a house, but what did she do? She had the idea of secretly saving up a secret stash of money!
"You have money? Are you referring to the appearance fees you get as a celebrity and the money you make selling talismans?" Liao Yunqing laughed, but there was no longer any sarcasm in his eyes. "That's a pittance, not enough to support the company's operation!"
He paused for a moment, then suggested, "You can either work hard and stand at the same level as Jingke, or let him go. Temporary pain will bring eternal peace, which is a win-win situation for both of you."
