One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Ye Bolin also said, “If you truly like Pei Yue that much, I won’t stop you. I can even give you a hundred thousand yuan. But once you take this money and leave the Ye Family, you’ll have nothing to do with us anymore.”

Ye Bingtong’s face involuntarily changed.

A hundred thousand yuan?

What is a hundred thousand yuan!

It wouldn’t even buy her a handbag!

After compromising so much for so many years in the Ye Family, was this how they intended to dismiss her?

Impossible!

To demonstrate her resolve, Ye Bingtong said emphatically, “Pei Yue is just a street punk; he’s neither of my status nor my standing! I’m the Young Miss of the Ye Family, how could I possibly give up everything to be with him! Big brother, rest assured, I had just been momentarily confused before. From now on, I won’t act so recklessly. I will still be the pride of the Ye Family!”

“You talk a good talk. I’m afraid in your heart you’re still resenting the Ye Family for not giving you all the wealth while still supporting your ridiculous love story with some punk,” Ye Xiao mocked with a sarcastic tone.

Ye Bingtong’s gaze flickered, feeling a twinge of nervousness as if her thoughts had been hit upon.

She lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved, “Xiaoxiao, you’ve really misunderstood me.”

“Misunderstand or not, you know it yourself,” Ye Xiao said with a cold laugh. “Also, the Ye Family doesn’t need you to be its pride, it’s you who needs the support of the Ye Family. From now on, stop trying to glorify yourself.”

Ye Bingtong, knowing she couldn’t out-argue Ye Xiao at this moment, could only show an aggrieved expression, looking extremely forbearing.

Seeing Ye Bingtong like this actually made Ye Xiao lose interest in mocking her, feeling a bit too lazy to continue.

They were almost at the school by now.

Ye Xiao suddenly remembered something.

[Damn, that male lead is about to dash out to stop the car. I’d better sit tight. Even though I’m wearing a seatbelt, the taste of an emergency brake isn’t pleasant.]

Ye Xiao leaned back, her hands tightly gripping the handle, fully prepared.

Ye Bolin couldn’t help but frown.

Pei Yue?

He’s going to rush out to stop the car?

Ye Bolin instinctively slowed down a little, and then, as expected, Pei Yue’s figure suddenly darted out, spreading his arms to block the path of Ye Bolin’s car.

Since he had already slowed down, Ye Bolin braked steadily.

All the preparations Ye Xiao had made were unnecessary, and she couldn’t help but be amazed in her heart.

[I didn’t expect big brother’s driving skills to be so good!]

While it might not be a big deal for a tycoon to have good driving skills, Ye Bolin still showed a smile at the corners of his mouth upon hearing his sister’s silent praise.

Heaven had allowed him to hear his sister’s inner voice for a reason.

After all, only he could take decisive measures to change fate after hearing those thoughts.

His father and the others couldn’t possibly have such a responsive reaction.

“Pei Yue…”

Ye Bingtong, watching the person in front of the car, felt her heart almost leap out of her throat.

Thank goodness.

Ye Bolin braked in time.

Pei Yue wasn’t harmed.

Ye Bingtong thought she could hold back, but the moment she saw Pei Yue, tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes.

Pei Yue, I was so decisive, you must be in pain too, right?

But this is for our future.

When we truly grow up and have the strength to fear nothing from the Ye Family, that’s when we can truly be together.

You’ll understand me! Right?

Ye Xiao immediately opened the car door and stepped out, cursing as she did.

“Pei Yue,” Ye Xiao started cursing directly, “What are you trying to do by blocking our way? There’s plenty of road here, don’t tell me it’s just a coincidence! Oh, I think I get it now, you’re trying to scam us, aren’t you? Let me tell you, we have a dashcam in our car, so if you’re thinking of extorting money, you won’t get a single hair from us.”

Ye Xiao cursed loudly.

Passersby all around started to take notice.

Seeing it was Pei Yue and the people from the Ye Family, bystanders began whispering among themselves.

Wasn’t Pei Yue expelled? What’s he doing at the school?

Does he hold a grudge against Ye Xiao and wants to scam the Ye Family’s car?

That’s way too low!

Hearing these murmurs, Pei Yue’s face turned ugly, and through clenched teeth, he said, “I never thought about scamming! I just wanted to talk to Bingtong! There are some things I need to ask her face to face.”

With Pei Yue specifically calling her out, Ye Bingtong could no longer evade, and she timidly got out of the car.

Her eyes seemed to be veiled with mist, silently gazing at Pei Yue.

Pei Yue felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Ye Xiao glanced at the script.

Damn it.

Just from that exchange of looks, the book actually wrote five hundred words describing the psychological activity, what a psycho.

In the plot.

Pei Yue was insistently seeking an answer.

Then, Ye Bingtong brushed it off with some vague words, managing to stabilize Pei Yue and the Ye Family alike.

But this time. Ye Xiao did not want Ye Bingtong to just slip through again. Pei Yue and the Ye Family, she couldn’t have both—she must choose one!

“Bingtong, I want you to tell me in person! Just say the word, that you won’t see me anymore from now on, and I’ll turn around, and never bother you again,”

Pei Yue’s expression was one of pain.

Ye Xiao and Ye Bolin both looked towards Ye Bingtong.

The curious onlookers also pricked up their ears to listen in.

Ye Bingtong felt anguish inside, and she softly said, “Pei Yue, what happened between us was a mistake. From now on, I will be a good daughter to the Ye Family, let’s just call it quits, okay?”

This statement didn’t seem like much.

But to Pei Yue, it was immediately interpreted as Ye Bingtong being forced and threatened by the Ye Family to say such things. In her heart, she must still be in love with him!

Pei Yue was delighted at the thought, about to say something.

Ye Xiao spoke up impatiently, “Ye Bingtong, why are you so polite to a thug? With someone who won’t take no for an answer, you have to make things crystal clear to get him to completely give up!”

Ye Xiao took out her phone and immediately played back the recording she had made in the car.

Ye Bingtong looked at Ye Xiao with disbelief.

She… she even recorded it?

Ye Bingtong instinctively tried to snatch the phone.

But Ye Xiao agilely dodged, and the recording continued to play.

In the recording.

Ye Xiao told Ye Bingtong to cut all ties and wander the world with Pei Yue.

Ye Bolin even said they could give them a hundred thousand yuan.

Pei Yue’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

In his view, a hundred thousand yuan was a substantial amount of money. With his capabilities, that sum as start-up capital could certainly ensure a good life for Ye Bingtong.

And what about Bingtong?

What was her response?

Pei Yue looked at Ye Bingtong’s pale face and suddenly felt uneasy.

Then.

He heard Ye Bingtong’s voice, unwaveringly firm, “Pei Yue is just a thug. Whether it’s status or social standing, he doesn’t match me… I was just confused for a moment…”

Pei Yue’s expression, initially hopeful, gradually dimmed.

He glared at Ye Bingtong, with a hint of hate even appearing in his eyes.

Ye Bingtong was in pain.

She looked helplessly at Pei Yue.

Those were words of her helplessness, not her true feelings. Pei Yue, he should know that!

“If that’s the case, Ye Bingtong, let’s cut our ties completely from now on, with no further connection,”

At this moment, what should we use to express the protagonist’s pain in a classic scene?

That’s right!

How could it not rain at such a time!

Ye Xiao watched helplessly as clouds gathered in the sky.

She glanced at the plot.

The plot had been regenerated by now.

“The ice-cold rain poured down relentlessly. Pei Yue was soaked to the bone, but he seemed to feel nothing. The only thought in his mind was that Ye Bingtong didn’t want him anymore, that it was truly over between them. But when he lifted his gaze, he saw in Ye Bingtong’s eyes a well-concealed trace of anguish. No, this isn’t right… there must be some misunderstanding.”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

As expected of the male and female leads, they receive special treatment. The system was worried their relationship might really end and was desperately making excuses for them. Even like this, Pei Yue had to see the pain in Ye Bingtong’s eyes.

Fine!

Anguish, right?

Come on, let’s really make you suffer this time.

Ye Xiao took out a pen and changed a single word.

She refused to believe that the leads couldn’t be separated!

If she managed to split these two, the ending of the book would change completely.

It was worth using one of her opportunities to change the text!
