One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Ye Xiao complained.

Ye Bolin and Gu Yan looked at her with complex eyes.

In her mind, the two biggest victims of cuckoldry were none other than Ye Bolin himself and Gu Yan’s own younger brother.

Gu Yan took a deep breath, contemplating as he looked at Ye Bolin.

In the previous life, he had heard about Ye Bolin’s affair with Chen Yueyue.

Chen Yueyue got pregnant and married Ye Bolin.

Ye Bolin painstakingly raised the child until he was six years old.

The child was a genius, a top hacker at just six years old.

The boy accidentally found out his blood didn’t match with Ye Bolin’s and then used his hacking skills to locate his biological father.

That father happened to be one of his business rivals.

After finding his real father, the boy acknowledged him in secret and also secretly brought him together with his mother.

As for Ye Bolin, who had raised him all these years?

That didn’t matter.

The child even boldly claimed, “There’s nothing wrong with love. Mom can only be truly happy with Dad.”

With that, he tried to get Ye Bolin to let go.

Ye Bolin gave his heart and soul to Chen Yueyue and the child.

After being betrayed by them, he became disillusioned and went dark!

When I say dark, I mean he used some business tactics to target that competitor.

The end result?

Both the Gu Family and the Ye Family met with bad fates.

After the Ye Family went bankrupt, Ye Bolin chose to commit suicide.

But in this life, it seemed different.

As a friend, Gu Yan wanted to warn Ye Bolin.

Yet with Ye Bolin so deeply in love with Chen Yueyue, Gu Yan hadn’t figured out how to approach the subject.

Unexpectedly,

Ye Bolin had suddenly become shrewd.

Could it be…

Gu Yan’s eyes shifted.

Could Ye Bolin hear Ye Xiao’s thoughts as well?

Realizing this, Gu Yan calmly asked, “Bolin, what brings you here?”

Ye Bolin coughed lightly, “Oh, nothing much, just passing by.”

[Passing by? Why don’t you pass by Mount Everest too? I feel like there’s juicy gossip here! But since big brother is tight-lipped, there’s nothing I can do about it.] Ye Xiao looked somewhat disappointed.

With a slight smile, Gu Yan suggested, “Really? Your fiancée and dear sister seem to be around here as well, shall we go greet them?”

Ye Bolin’s pupils shrank suddenly as he blurted out, “No need, no need.”

Gu Yan stood up, “Of course, we should. If you’re too shy, I’ll go say hi to them myself.”

“Wait!” Ye Bolin was at a loss and quickly spoke up, “I followed them here in secret. They don’t know, don’t let them find out.”

Gu Yan then sat down again, a subtle smile playing on his lips, “Oh? Followed in secret? One is your fiancée, and the other is your sister, why follow them secretly? Bolin, that’s not what a gentleman does, be careful or I might have to spill the beans.”

Ye Bolin gave Gu Yan a disgruntled look, “What do you want?”

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, “Since you’ve followed them here, you must have come prepared. You can’t possibly just be following them aimlessly? If you have any juicy stories, you should share with everyone. Keeping them to yourself won’t end well.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up, suddenly looking at Gu Yan with admiration.

She thought she would miss out on this juicy tale.

But in just a few words, Gu Yan had managed to corner Ye Bolin!

[Gu Yan is so awesome! I need to learn from him, and once I do, I’ll definitely be able to get in on more gossip.]

Listening to Ye Xiao’s thoughts, Ye Bolin shot Gu Yan a glare.

Suddenly, he felt something was off!

Why had Gu Yan brought his sister to this place?

This man, what was his intention towards Xiaoxiao…

Harboring ulterior motives?!

Gu Yan was stared at by Ye Bolin for no apparent reason and couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, “Don’t think you can dodge this. I’m guessing you must have placed some sort of eavesdropping device on Chen Yueyue. Take it out, let’s all enjoy the drama together.”

Ye Bolin clenched his teeth immediately.

Does this jerk even have any self-awareness?

The drama he was so eager to watch was his own privacy, for goodness’ sake!

[Ah, drama, drama, I want to see the drama.] Ye Xiao was screaming inside her head.

Ye Bolin’s eyebrows softened a bit.

His little sister was young and still too curious for her own good.

Oh well.

He was just momentarily hot-headed when he decided to follow them over.

He knew in his heart that Yueyue wasn’t the type of person Xiaoxiao thought.

Xiaoxiao must have some misunderstanding about Yueyue.

Today would be a good chance for Xiaoxiao to listen and clear up their misunderstanding.

Thinking like this, Ye Bolin stopped fretting and took out a small tape recorder.

Then, he noticed Ye Xiao’s eyes lighting up like flashlights.

Watching this, Ye Bolin felt somewhat amused for a moment.

“Let me make this clear, I’m not doubting Yueyue or anything, I just…” Ye Bolin was about to give a long speech.

Gu Yan took it from him and turned on the volume right away.

Chen Yueyue and Ye Bingtong’s voices began to fill the room.

“Sister Yueyue, are you saying… your child isn’t my eldest brother’s?!” It was the shocked voice of Ye Bingtong.

[Damn? What perfect timing to start playing, it’s explosive from the get-go!] Ye Xiao was already mentally screaming like a groundhog!

Ye Bolin’s smile suddenly froze on his face, and he found it hard to smile.

“Bingtong,” came the somewhat guilty voice of Chen Yueyue. “Last night, Berlin took care of me the whole night… He is so good to me, yet I’ve deceived him, I just can’t bear it. Tell me, am I a very bad woman?”

Ye Bolin remained stiff.

He hadn’t recovered from the first shock, but subconsciously, his ears perked up.

He had adored Ye Bingtong for twenty years.

This sister, gentle and kind, always so understanding, had always been a source of comfort to him.

Now.

Ye Bingtong knew of such a matter.

What would she do?

Ye Bolin suddenly recalled Ye Xiao’s inner thoughts from the day before.

He bit his lower lip, somewhat unwilling to believe.

Bingtong, she wouldn’t help others to deceive him, right?

The next moment.

Ye Bolin heard Ye Bingtong’s categorical voice.

“Sister Yueyue, how can you be called a bad woman? What happened that night was an accident. Since it’s already happened, the child needs a father. Only by marrying my eldest brother can you give the child a name, ensuring they can grow up healthy and happy! This is the best for you and the child.”

Ye Bolin:

He was somewhat in a daze.

The best for Chen Yueyue, the best for the child.

But.

What about him?

Ye Bingtong was his sister, and for the life of him, he couldn’t think of where he had ever wronged her!

And now, she actually wanted him to happily take on fatherhood?

Ye Xiao and Gu Yan both looked at Ye Bolin with a pitying gaze.

The voices continued.

Chen Yueyue said in a hesitant tone, “I also know this is the best way. It’s just that I feel I’ve wronged Berlin.”

Ye Bingtong reassured her, “What wrong? I know my eldest brother, he loves you to the bone. Even if he finds out the child isn’t his, he would still choose to forgive you.”

Ye Xiao unconsciously glanced at the top of Ye Bolin’s head.

[I mean, you’re just missing a green hat, right!]
