Chapter 281: Chapter 281 A Call in the Middle of the Night

Ye Shu was startled as she lifted her eyes, her gaze brimming with emotion as she looked at Sheng Shaochen—another gift? She felt like she was drowning in his adoration, barely able to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Her small hand stealthily pinched her thigh. It hurt, truly hurt.

Whimpering, Mr. Sheng’s onslaught was so intense, she had completely lost herself.

At this moment!

Ye Xinyu was in the middle of a night scene with the crew of "Nine Lives Demon Phoenix", when she suddenly received a call from Mrs. Bai Xue.

Ye Xinyu’s brows furrowed. Ever since her father, Ye Shengli, had run into trouble, Bai Xue had not contacted her for a very long time.

Even when she repeatedly sought Bai Xue’s support initially, she was given the run-around.

Why would Bai Xue suddenly call her in the dead of night?

Ye Xinyu hesitated for a brief moment before answering the phone.

"Xinyu, have you finished filming? When are you returning to Jin City? Mom will come pick you up." Bai Xue’s voice came through the wireless waves, unexpectedly gentle, which made Ye Xinyu question her belief.

In the dead of night, Ye Xinyu even had the eerie sensation that she was seeing ghosts. Clearing her throat, she said, "Mom, why are you not sleeping so late? Is there something wrong...?"

It took Ye Xinyu a while before she dared to ask this carefully, but inside she wondered if the old hag had lost her mind.

"Xinyu, actually, ever since your dad had an accident, our Gu Family has been thinking of ways to help you. Now that Zuo Cheng has invested in the Ye Group, you should rush the filming progress in Han City, and come back soon. Work together with Zuo Cheng to make the Ye Group flourish. After all, it was your father’s life’s work."

Bai Xue’s words made Ye Xinyu so disgusted that she felt goosebumps crawl up her skin.

But, she quickly caught a hint of something. Knowing Bai Xue’s mercenary nature, the woman wouldn’t suddenly contact her about the Ye Group and have Gu Zuocheng invest in it without a hidden agenda.

She had 10% of the shares in the Ye Group, but her father had specifically instructed her not to meddle with the Ye Group’s affairs before his incident.

Furthermore, with the Ye Group’s declining trend, she had no desire to get involved and had even considered selling her shares. However, due to timing and not finding the right buyer, she hadn’t been able to sell them off.

Could it be that there was now a turning point?

Thinking this, Ye Xinyu’s mood unintentionally became excited, yet she feigned despondency, "Mom, thank you for always trying to preserve dad’s assets, but... the current situation of the Ye Group is really not ideal. I’ve heard that many shareholders are looking to sell off their stocks. I’m afraid it’ll implicate the Gu Family..."

As she spoke, she even choked up a few times.

Bai Xue immediately interrupted her, "Silly child, rest assured... there’s already a major injection of funds into the Ye Group, and now, the prospects for the Ye Group look very promising, with signs of revitalization. So, you must hurry back to deal with the relevant affairs, to prevent some wolf-hearted people from seizing the opportunity to snatch the position of power in the Ye Group!"

"Really?" Ye Xinyu could no longer contain the joy in her heart.

She knew that if there were no benefits to be reaped from the Ye Group, Bai Xue, that self-serving person, would never let Gu Zuocheng get involved with it.

"Of course, it’s true! Let me tell you, Xinyu, the person behind this investment was persuaded by our Gu Family after great efforts to help the Ye Group. You must not let down the Gu Family’s and especially Zuo Cheng’s good intentions towards you."

"Uh huh, thank you, Mom. I’ll go to the director right away to wrap up the shooting as soon as possible and head back to Jin City."

After Ye Xinyu hung up, she was so excited that she jumped for joy.

That was fantastic, just fantastic!

That bitch Ye Shu wanted her to die, but she insisted on living a good life!
