Chapter 109 Confession of Crime
This restaurant was found by Anny. It is said that the owner studied abroad and is a famous niche artist. Now he has opened a restaurant and makes food like works of art.

Anny really put in a lot of effort to find a restaurant like this next to the crew.

The other crew members were having dinner next door, and Bian Yue asked everyone to order whatever they wanted.

At this time, Bian Yue ordered a few dishes from the menu one by one and handed the menu back, "That's it."

The waiter nodded and walked out respectfully.

Bian Yue was sipping tea, and soon Director Liu came in with Yao Yimin and Yang Shan.

Ever since dealing with Shi Anan’s matter, Bian Yue hasn’t seen Yang Shan.

The woman who was once bullied by Shi Anan still looks gentle, but more cheerful.

She was very happy to see Bian Yue, her eyes were bright and she smiled at Bian Yue reservedly.

"Teacher Yao, please sit here. Anny and I will sit next to you."

Director Liu personally pulled out a chair for Yao Yimin, then smiled and looked at Bian Yue, saying, "The restaurant that President Bian chose has a good atmosphere."

Bian Yue smiled and said, "This was chosen by Anny."

Yang Shan stood aside and did not sit down.

Bian Yue patted the empty seat next to her and said, "Shanshan, sit here."

Yang Shan then smiled shyly, said thank you to Mr. Bian, and sat down.

Anny also came back from the bathroom and sat down between Bian Yue and Yao Yimin, complaining about the unstable water pressure in the restaurant's faucets, saying that the rainy season was terrible.

Yao Yimin didn't really listen. Instead, she looked at Bian Yue and said with a smile, "I also heard about Shi Anan's incident before. President Bian handled it very well."

Bian Yue smiled and said softly, "Miss Yao said so, I dare not take credit for it."

"Boss Bian is indeed a smart man. I have also seen how everyone in the crew treats you. You are indeed popular." Yao Yimin smiled slightly, her eyes gentle. "Excuse me, Boss Bian, are you really 100% sincere and willing to cooperate with me?"

"nature."

Bian Yue said sternly, "I know that my project is too high for Miss Yao. After all, there is no precedent in the market for a movie queen to play a role in a historical drama. But please believe me, Miss Yao, I will complete this project well and will never let it become a stain on your acting career."

Yang Shan, who was standing by, watched the undercurrent between Bian Yue and Yao Yimin and couldn't help but speak up in defense, "Ms. Yao Yao, Ms. Bian is really a very good person. You can completely trust her professional ability, and even more so her character."

Yao Yimin's expression eased slightly. She had chatted with Director Liu for the entire afternoon, and one of his words remained fresh in her memory.

"Teacher Yao, I know you have some opinions about President Bian, thinking that the daughter of a wealthy family is just playing around and not taking it seriously, but I can assure you that President Bian is not an irresponsible person, and this project is indeed managed by President Bian with all his heart."

Director Liu smiled in relief, sighed, and continued, "I didn't believe that a little rich girl could be successful in the film and television industry before, but Mitang's historical achievements and Mr. Bian's personal charm made me willing to give it a try. There are not many bosses in this industry who treat everyone as human beings."

The waiter was serving the food to everyone.

Yao Yimin picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all.

Bian Yue remembered that Yao Yimin's resume mentioned that Yao Yimin had been an alcoholic and had a bad stomach.

"Ms. Yao, please drink less. Drinking like this will only harm your body." Bian Yue spoke lightly with a kind reminder.

Yao Yimin put down his wine glass and looked at Bian Yue, "Mr. Bian, how is your investigation of me now?" Bian Yue said that she had read almost all the news that could be found on the public platform.

Yao Yimin's smile deepened, "Didn't you look at anything else?"

Bian Yue said seriously: "I won't hire a private detective to investigate the things that Miss Yao doesn't want to be known."

Yao Yimin propped her chin up with her hand and looked at Bian Yue for a long time. She smiled and said calmly, "I can promise you to join the crew, and I can also promise you to shoot seriously and never slack off."

Bian Yue glanced at Yao Yimin with a hint of surprise, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "Miss Yao, please tell me what you want."

Yao Yimin's expression changed and her voice became cold, "Miss Bian, do you still remember Jiayi?"

Bian Yue’s pupils narrowed.

It was two years ago when the headline on the front page of Entertainment News Weekly was boldly reported that popular actress An Jiayi had jumped from the 20th floor and died at the height of her fame.

Only those who know the inside story know that the instigator of all this is Xie Zhang.

Bian Yue pursed her lips and said frankly: "I remember."

Yao Yimin poured herself another glass of wine and said, "Jiayi has a necklace that is priceless. If Mr. Bian can give me this necklace, I will agree to join the group."

Bian Yue frowned and asked uncertainly, "The necklace you are talking about is the mermaid's tear that Jiayi threw away?"

"Did you throw it away? I don't know about that. But I heard that this necklace was given to Jiayi by a rich man. Jiayi really loved this man. No matter what he gave her, she kept it carefully."

Yao Yimin's eyes were slightly red. She smiled at Bian Yue with a bitter look on her face. "If it is missing, then I want this rich young man to tell me in person how the necklace disappeared."

The three people standing by had puzzled expressions as they watched Bian Yue and Yao Yimin engage in charades.

Bian Yue had a plan in mind. She looked at Yao Yimin calmly and said softly, "If I can get this rich boy to tell you in person, you will be willing to join the group, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay, but before that, I also want to know what your relationship with Jiayi is? If it's inconvenient to talk about it, we can talk about it in private."

"It's not inconvenient," Yao Yimin leaned back in her chair with her wine glass in hand, looking at Bian Yue, and said word by word, "She is my sister, my biological sister."

Bian Yue was shocked, "But you don't have the same surname"

"I followed my father, and Jiayi followed her mother. When Jiayi entered the film and television industry, I was the one who protected her. She was innocent and inexperienced and was deceived. As her elder sister, I just want to know what happened to my sister. Mr. Bian, do you think this request is excessive?"

Yao Yimin's voice was as cold as ice.

Bian Yue listened in silence and said calmly: "That's not too much, Miss Yao. Tomorrow night, I will bring this rich young man to see you."

Yao Yimin drank while sizing up Bian Yue's expression and smiled, "Okay, I also want to know what Mr. Bian can use to convince this rich young man to come to me and confess his crimes."

During the meal, everyone had no appetite. Even the most delicious dishes in front of them tasted like chewing wax.

Bian Yue left with something on her mind.

Inside the car, her expression was heavy. Shen Jinci saw through her and asked her what happened.

Bian Yue shook her head and whispered, "Nothing, it's just that I need to meet Xie Zhang tomorrow."
