Chapter 1658: Chapter 1647: The Villain’s Foster Mother

"Ye Qiu, what should I do about facing my niece?" Ye Mu couldn’t tell if he was flustered or excited, but his voice sounded somewhat agitated, prompting the staff nearby to give him more than a few glances.

"Just don’t reveal our relationship, face her however you want. I won’t be going over for now, contact me by phone if there’s any issue."

"Tsk tsk, it’s been so long, when do you plan to come clean with her?"

"Let’s wait a bit more, I just feel that now isn’t the right time."

"You two are really peculiar, she doesn’t contact you and you don’t contact her, your personalities are like biological mother and daughter."

"Alright, go shoot your film." Ye Qiu hung up the phone. In fact, she was contemplating when she should meet Chuqing. She realized that Chuqing’s personality in this life had indeed changed, probably wouldn’t go to extremes like in the past life with Zhou Linxia, and she already had so many connections and resources at her disposal, prepared for Chuqing. Since Chuqing was now starting her acting career, it was time to slowly hand them over.

Thinking of this, she dialed Ye Mu again: "Make sure to establish a good relationship with Chuqing in the crew."

"What are you planning to do? Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?"

"I have some resources lately, using your hands to give them to her."

"Do you really have to beat around the bush like this?" Ye Mu laughed and swore, "Alright, I can definitely get along with my big niece, just make sure you don’t get jealous later."

She has played many supporting roles before, but this was only Ye Chuqing’s second time joining a major crew. All the way greeting the seniors, she was cautious, but fortunately, the veterans in the crew were all amiable, making her less anxious.

However, when it came to Ye Mu, she felt somewhat uneasy again. Speaking of them, the most popular person in the crew was Ye Mu. Who in Hua Country didn’t know the trending idol Ye God? Rumor had it that Ye Mu was a bit eccentric, and she didn’t know if he would mind her interruption.

Yet before she could say a word, Ye Mu looked over with a bright smile: "You must be playing my sister, Ye Chuqing, right? Hello."

Hearing the name Ye Chuqing, she was momentarily disoriented, because for the past year, everyone had been calling her Zhou Chuqing.

"Mr. Ye got it wrong. My name is Zhou Chuqing."

"Is that so?" Ye Mu frowned, "I remember you acted in a drama before, and in the cast list, you were called Ye Chuqing, with the same surname as me. I remember it clearly."

"Mr. Ye even watched that drama!" Chuqing was genuinely surprised and then explained, "I indeed used to have the surname Ye, but later I changed it."

"Then I’ll just call you Chuqing from now on." Ye Mu seemed unconcerned, "You acted really well in that drama, please feel free to give me advice in the future."

Chuqing was flattered: "I wouldn’t dare, I’ve only acted in one drama, hard to say what’s good, but Mr. Ye’s acting is really impressive."

She wasn’t exaggerating. Even though Ye Mu was a trending idol, he earned the role through auditions, and he had performed well in the previous youth movie and that fantasy drama. Although not as good as seasoned actors, compared to other trending idols in the entertainment industry, he was far better.

Ye Mu chuckled: "Are we doing mutual compliments now? I’ve got some snacks here, would you like some?"

Not waiting for Chuqing to politely decline, he had already taken them out: "A friend of mine made these by hand, you won’t find them outside. What’s more, they won’t make you gain weight even if you eat them."

Chuqing looked at the familiar packaging, unable to refuse. She hadn’t expected mom’s things to be here.

"Go ahead and eat," Ye Mu personally picked up a piece and placed it in Chuqing’s hand.

Chuqing mindlessly put it in her mouth, and the familiar taste instantly filled her mouth, but the dessert wasn’t large. It was gone in two bites, and after eating it all, she felt a hint of loss.

"I knew you’d like them; I have plenty here, eat more."

Chuqing politely declined: "I should not. Such delicious snacks must be hard to buy. Could you tell me where Mr. Ye bought them?"

Ye Mu didn’t believe Chuqing couldn’t recognize them, but seeing her deliberately asking like that, he found it amusing.

"A friend made them personally, limited quantity. Buying requires advanced booking."

"Could Mr. Ye help me book some? Money is not a problem."

"How about I give you the contact info, and you can make a choice yourself? Don’t worry, anyone I recommend, my friend definitely won’t refuse." Ye Mu teased Chuqing.

Chuqing immediately refused repeatedly: "Then just forget it, I’m usually quite busy and might not find time to contact."

Ye Mu didn’t expose her clumsy lie, only finding his big niece really cute. Clearly, she was a good actor, yet when lying, her eyes would dart erratically, and her ears would turn red.

"Then I’ll buy more in the crew next time, and we can eat together."

Chuqing thought for a moment and didn’t refuse, for she hadn’t tasted mom’s cooking in a long time and truly missed it.

The drama Ye Mu and Chuqing were shooting together was called "Huahua Alley," named after the place where the family lived — eight members from old to young, filming from the male lead’s youth all the way to his old age, most of the story taking place in this alley.

Considering Ye Mu’s busy schedule as a trending idol, the Director first filmed Ye Mu’s portion. In this regard, the old actors in the crew had no complaints, as the shoot was often rescheduled to accommodate.

Moreover, Ye Mu was quite personable, never flaunting a big star attitude in the crew, calling the older ones uncle and aunt, the younger ones brother. Who in the world wouldn’t love a sweet-talking, good-looking young person?

From time to time, Ye Mu also packed many pastries made by Ye Qiu, and his things were delicious, making everyone have no complaints about him.

Whenever exchanging experiences with the seniors or seeking guidance, Ye Mu would bring Chuqing along, and through this, Chuqing would receive many benefits and learn a lot.

"Apart from that little kid, you’re the youngest here, you should smile more, get close to these seniors, it won’t hurt." Ye Mu patiently taught her.

Chuqing hesitated for a long while before saying: "Brother Ye, why are you so good to me?"

Upon hearing his niece call him brother, Ye Mu felt no discomfort, instead lovingly patted her head and said: "Maybe because you’re my sister?"

He laughed heartily: "There’s no clear explanation for attraction, don’t overthink it, just follow me closely."

Chuqing thanked and apologized earnestly: "Thank you, Brother Ye, I will definitely work hard and not let you down."

Ye Mu felt sentimental; his niece’s personality was pretty good, so why did she turn dark in the previous life?
