One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

“When Ye Lin suddenly asked her, a hint of panic flashed across Bai Shilan’s face. There was indeed a mistaken past between her and La Jingzhou. However, she had resolved to put an end to it all.

In the future, she would find time to confess everything to Ye Lin, but now was not the time.

She loved Ye Lin, she did not want him to look at her through prejudiced eyes.

Bai Shilan promptly denied it, ‘No, nothing has ever happened between La and me. All we have is a work relationship. He provides me with resources, and I make money for him, that’s all.’

Ye Xiao looked at this part and couldn’t help but blink her eyes.

emmm.

She originally didn’t intend to exploit the loophole, just to honestly make corrections.

But.

Reading this plot, her hands itched, feeling almost embarrassed not to exploit this ‘wool’.

Although the system would definitely patch it up after this,

But!

Who cares!

She would exploit it this time and deal with the rest later.

Fearing discovery by the system, Ye Xiao picked up the pen and quickly changed one word.

She turned.

“Bai Shilan promptly denied it”

into.

“Bai Shilan promptly admitted it”

This had a similar effect to telling the truth before!

Adding one true word now costs her ten words.

But the system didn’t patch this one up in time!

And the effect was almost the same.

Thus.

In the room.

Bai Shilan had wanted to deny it, but when the words reached her lips, they turned into: “Yes, my relationship with La Jingzhou is not ordinary.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, a flicker of horror flashed in Bai Shilan’s eyes.

That’s wrong, those were not the words she meant to say.

But she couldn’t control herself as her mouth opened and closed on its own, saying: “Even though everything has already happened between La and me. But, all we have is a relationship in bed. He provides me with resources, and I sleep with him, that’s all.”

After Bai Shilan finished speaking, her face turned stark white!!

What’s going on! How could she blurt out such things.

Now, this was how Ye Lin was going to see her.

Everyone at the doorway couldn’t help but gasp.

[Thrilling!! Ah!!!]

In Ye Lin’s mind, he also heard the sound of Ye Xiao’s groundhog call.

Ye Lin’s expression became difficult for a moment.

He didn’t know if he was shocked by Bai Shilan or if Ye Xiao’s voice had deafened his ears.

That’s not right.

Others were simply deafened, but Ye Xiao’s tactic was aiming to blow his mind.

La Jingzhou’s face also changed dramatically!

Although he was furious that Bai Shilan had tried to hook up with someone else!

But, how could their relationship be admitted? Especially in front of so many people!

Had Bai Shilan gone mad?

La Jingzhou couldn’t even bother with being angry; he stiffly looked towards Liu Yan, “Xiaoyan, she is…”

Liu Yan said with a smile, “She is talking nonsense, I know it. Don’t worry, I will always believe in you.”

La Jingzhou nodded, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

In the room.

Faced with such an explosive statement, Ye Lin leaned back into the corner, looking extremely cautious, almost like a frightened rabbit.

He cautiously asked, “Since you and La Jingzhou already have this kind of relationship, what are you doing now?”

Bai Shilan was stunned for a moment, and hope rose once again in her heart.

The fact that her first words had moved Ye Lin to inquire further rather than scold her or tell her to leave meant something.

What did it signify?

It signified that he had different feelings for her. Otherwise, why would he care about these things?

A look of sorrow appeared on Bai Shilan’s face, her eyes reddened, and she said softly, “Brother Ye, what choice does a small artist without a background like me have? All of this was forced on me by La Jingzhou.”

Bai Shilan, with tears streaming down like rain, said, “At that time, my mother was gravely ill and we had no money for treatment. Attracted by my beauty, he offered to give me money in exchange… then he forcefully took advantage of me. With the La Family’s significant influence in the entertainment industry, like they can obscure the sky with one hand, what could a minor artist like me do? I was just repeatedly humiliated by him. Eventually, my mother still passed away without being cured.”

“I also thought about ending this relationship. But every time I tried to break it off, he would imprison me and then torment me day and night.”

Bai Shilan’s tears fell continuously as she spoke, “Brother Ye, he’s a demon. I really, really want to escape from him. Can you help me?”

As she spoke,

Bai Shilan took a step towards Ye Lin.

She knew

that Ye Lin was a tender-hearted person.

Perhaps, her own ordeal would evoke even greater sympathy from him.

Moreover,

Bai Shilan wasn’t exactly lying.

When she first got together with La Jingzhou, it indeed started because she wanted to treat her mother’s illness, though at the time she was somewhat willing.

After that, she truly had thoughts of escaping.

La Jingzhou was indeed very domineering.

She was simply doing a bit of artistic embellishment; overall, she was still telling the truth.

Bai Shilan was making her accusation inside.

The crowd silently turned their gaze towards La Jingzhou.

[The overbearing CEO’s coercive love, tsk tsk tsk. If there’s any VCR footage spreading around, I, Ye Xiao, genuinely want to see it.]

Ye Bolin and Gu Yan glanced at Ye Xiao at the same time.

With an innocent face, Ye Xiao thought, why look at her? Look at the overbearing CEO!

La Jingzhou’s expression at this moment was also quite marvelous.

Turning red, then green, then yellow, he was like the legendary traffic light.

Liu Yan failed to catch him, and La Jingzhou, his nostrils flaring with anger, suddenly burst open the door!

Bai Shilan was just thinking about leaning on Ye Lin.

Suddenly!

A loud crashing sound!

The door was directly slammed open!

Bai Shilan was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and saw a furiously livid La Jingzhou.

But, that wasn’t all!

Why was Liu Yan there too?

And behind them, the crowd was densely packed!

Bai Shilan’s complexion immediately changed!

What was going on?

Had everyone from the banquet gathered here?

They were eavesdropping around the corner!

Did these people have no sense of propriety at all!

Bai Shilan screamed inside her mind, but the reasons why they were here were of secondary importance.

The key was,

Bai Shilan saw La Jingzhou’s expression.

Cold.

Irritable.

Enraged.

Bai Shilan shivered.

It’s true that La Jingzhou was very kind to her, but when angered, he was also terrifying.

Had he heard all the words she had just said?

What if… what if he hadn’t…

Clutching to this vain hope,

Ye Bolin spoke up, “Miss Bai, I didn’t realize you’ve been suffering so much these years.”

He looked disapprovingly at La Jingzhou, “President La, you already have Miss Liu. How could you still entangle with someone else? Not to mention, using such forceful methods.”

Ye Bolin seemed to be standing up for Bai Shilan, and her expression completely fell apart.

It was over.

La Jingzhou must have heard!

What to do, what to do?

How to settle this matter now!

Bai Shilan’s body started to teeter.
