One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 139: 116: Different Tricks

Chapter 139: Chapter 116: Different Tricks

The first day of shooting was primarily to get Ye Xiao into character, and the scenes were relatively simple. The whole process went smoothly without any hitches.

In order to ensure the actors were in the right frame of mind for filming, the production team booked an entire hotel. Even though the Ye Family was only half an hour’s drive away, Ye Xiao stayed at the hotel just like everyone else.

If she had insisted on going home to stay, Li Mingyu probably wouldn’t have objected.

But Ye Xiao didn’t see the need for that.

Closed-set shooting was beneficial for her to get into character.

Lin Yun, the music consultant, also checked into the hotel.

Evening.

Lin Yun held her mobile phone, her expression hesitant.

She wanted to go find Ye Xiao to get close.

But she couldn’t think of a reason to do so.

If she went over with her pillow in tow, claiming she was afraid of the dark, would Ye Xiao take her in?

It wasn’t out of the question.

After all, Ye Xiao seemed to be quite soft-hearted.

Once she made up her mind, Lin Yun meticulously put on her makeup, then, hugging her pillow, she practiced in the mirror to see what kind of expression appeared most pitiable.

When she felt it was good enough, she took her pillow and went to look for Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao’s room was on the same floor as hers, just that one was at the far left, and the other at the far right.

Lin Yun had just arrived at Ye Xiao’s door.

Around the corner, a man with a cold demeanor emerged.

When they met, both furrowed their brows.

Lin Yun, wanting to knock on Ye Xiao’s door and seeing that the man had no intention of moving aside, couldn’t help but say, “The hallway is wide enough, if you’re going to a room, you can go ahead.”

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, “Coincidentally. I’m here to see Ye Xiao.”

To see Xiaoxiao?

Lin Yun immediately gave Gu Yan a look full of wariness.

He was a man.

A rather handsome man, at that.

But.

Can men be trusted?

Just look at Luo Li.

Luo Li, in terms of appearance, put on a decent front, but what about in reality?

He was nothing but trash.

What could this man possibly want with Ye Xiao so late at night?

There was definitely a scheme at play.

Lin Yun watched him warily, “What’s your relationship to Ye Xiao?”

Gu Yan glanced at Lin Yun and narrowed his eyes.

This woman, she had hostility in her eyes when looking at him.

Why?

If it were a man, he would quickly come to the conclusion that this was probably a love rival.

But now.

It was a woman.

Look again!

Gu Yan calmly said, “That’s probably none of your business.”

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“Coming.”

Ye Xiao opened the door to see Gu Yan and Lin Yun standing on either side like door gods.

She couldn’t help being a little stunned.

“What’s going on with you two…?”

Gu Yan’s lips curved into a smile, “Xiaoxiao, it’s getting colder, your uncle and aunt asked me to bring some clothes for you. I mentioned it to you over WeChat before.”

Gu Yan lifted the package in his hand.

“Just some clothes, and Mr. Gu, the CEO, has really come personally?” Ye Xiao took the package and casually set it aside.

Gu Yan’s smile deepened, “I just happened to be nearby on business.”

Ye Xiao was about to nod.

Lin Yun unexpectedly said, “This place is quite remote, there’s hardly any people within ten miles as far as I know. I wonder what Mr. Gu’s business could be.”

Lin Yun’s voice was cool, but Gu Yan caught a hint of sarcasm.

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes, “Whatever it is, I surely don’t need to report to this young lady, do I?”

Lin Yun laughed coldly, “Even if you did report, I wouldn’t care to listen, it’s just going to be some lies anyway. That’s what all scumbags do.”

Gu Yan’s face showed a sarcastic smile, “This young lady seems to have quite the experience.”

Lin Yun looked up, “I wouldn’t claim to have experience, but when it comes to recognizing scumbags, I do have some insight.”

“Is that so? Well, then please use your insights to take good care of yourself instead.”

Ye Xiao looked from one to the other.

Blinked her eyes.

“Wow, what’s going on here? Fighting as soon as they meet? Are the two of them going to take the path of bickering lovers?”

Bickering lovers?

Gu Yan and Lin Yun’s expressions changed simultaneously.

Gu Yan looked at Ye Xiao somewhat numbly.

When she was matching Ye Bolin and Liu Yan in her mind, he found Ye Bolin’s predicament quite amusing.

Now that it was his turn, he only wanted to crack open Ye Xiao’s head and see exactly what was inside.

Could it be…

Had he not been clear enough in his usual demeanor?

Gu Yan began to doubt life itself.

Lin Yun didn’t dare to bicker with Gu Yan anymore, worried about getting misunderstood further.

The two suddenly stopped talking.

Ye Xiao looked around and sighed again.

“First time meeting, and already so in sync? Not bad!”

The faces of Gu Yan and Lin Yun changed again.

Before either of them could say something, Ye Xiao had already made room for them: “You all come in first.”

Gu Yan and Lin Yun could only swallow their words and follow her in.

“Sit for a moment, while I find some cups to pour water for you.”

Ye Xiao was just about to get up.

Gu Yan had already found the cups and placed them in front of Ye Xiao.

Not to be outdone, Lin Yun immediately poured a glass of water for Ye Xiao.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but frown.

At this moment,

he was nearly certain.

Lin Yun, though a woman, was undeniably here as his rival in love!

Suddenly, Gu Yan felt he had it tough.

Why did he have to guard against women as well as men?

“Xiaoxiao, you drink,” both of them said in unison.

Ye Xiao was baffled and said, “I meant to pour water for you…”

But seeing their earnest looks, she could only pick up the water glass, “Fine, I’ll drink, I’ll drink.”

“Xiaoxiao, your uncle and aunt have been asking me to come to the Ye Family house for tea. Last time, your uncle insisted on giving me a batch of fine tea leaves, and I really couldn’t decline it,” Gu Yan said gently.

“Ah,” Ye Xiao replied, a bit bewildered.

“Why is Gu Yan suddenly bringing this up?”

Lin Yun heard the implication in his words and sneered to herself.

Gu Yan’s point was that he was close with the Ye Family, right?

Who’s afraid of whom?

A smile also appeared on Lin Yun’s face as she said softly, “Xiaoxiao, I really like the room your uncle and aunt have prepared for me. When the production takes a break, how about I come stay with you for a few days?”

Ye Xiao hurriedly agreed, “Yes, yes, that would be great. Mom and Dad will be thrilled.”

Gu Yan’s expression shifted slightly.

Only then did he recognize the woman’s identity.

It was Lin Yun!

Lin Yun from the previous life who tragically took her own life.

In this life,

with Xiaoxiao here, her fate must have changed considerably. The Ye Family, knowing what happened before, would take care of Lin Yun out of a sense of guilt. That made sense.

Having said this, Lin Yun looked at Gu Yan with a slight sense of triumph.

So?

She could have her own room at the Ye Family’s house.

What about Gu Yan?

At best,

he’d get nothing more than an ordinary guest room!

Without changing his expression, Gu Yan said, “Speaking of which, things are going quite smoothly with La Jingzhou. He’s already dancing to Liu Yan’s tune. Next…”

Gu Yan suddenly shifted the topic, talking about the matters concerning La Jingzhou.

Ye Xiao, who was quite interested in the affairs of the male and female leads, listened earnestly.

Immediately, Lin Yun felt excluded.

She knew.

It wasn’t intentional on Ye Xiao’s part.

But!

Gu Yan was definitely doing this on purpose.

Lin Yun narrowed her eyes, and then, furrowing her brow, clutched her stomach, “Ouch.”
