One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 172: 149: Numbness Sets In



“Yo, Yue Heng’s parents are quite quick to react, already starting a barrage of deadly calls. Yue Heng braced himself and finally took the call.”

“Gosh, Daddy Yue has quite a rich vocabulary for cursing, I didn’t realize you could curse like that.”

Ye Xiao read on, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Everyone else was getting anxious.

What exactly are these curse words, spill the beans so we all can listen.

But Ye Xiao’s inner voice was just expressing admiration, and he didn’t reveal anything at all.

“Just like a few years ago, Daddy Yue and Mommy Yue forcefully demanded that he cut off his relationship with Tong Simeng. But after all, it was true love, and Yue Heng’s wings were getting harder, so he firmly rejected his parents’ demands. He also declared that he doesn’t need family support to do well. In the finals half a month later, he would win, and then he could tell everyone that he is not just a second-generation rich dependent on his family; his own capability is enough to sustain his ambition.”

“What a noble thing to say. Yue Heng’s parents were so angry they got headaches. They even started envying Father for having such a good son like Big Brother, someone who could perfectly inherit his mantle.”

Ye Mingcheng listened, a slight smile immediately appearing at the corner of his lips.

Ye Bolin raised an eyebrow, not bad, not bad, this Yueyang person isn’t much, but his parents do have a bit of foresight.

“They lamented again: even if they couldn’t produce a Ye Bolin, being able to have a Ye Lin or a Ye Zhaoyu wouldn’t be so troublesome.”

Ye Lin & Ye Zhaoyu: “…”

???

They should be happy, right?

“Yue Heng’s mother said that she looked younger than Mother last year when they met. Now, she suspects it’s definitely because all her kids are more carefree.”

Du Yaru slightly smiled.

That old sisters’ rivalry, always so tough in person, but aren’t they envious, jealous, and resentful in private?

For a moment,

most of the Ye Family were in a good mood.

How do you say it?

Their family indeed is what others envy.

Let them be jealous.

“These two keep badmouthing their own son. I’m not reading this anymore, too trivial. Let me flip ahead.” Ye Xiao quickly turned the page.

What was the original author thinking, writing at length about how Yue’s parents envied the Ye Family and how they felt their own son couldn’t compare to the several of the Ye Family.

The Ye Family members found it pretty refreshing to listen to.

However, based on Ye Xiao’s understanding of this author, he must be using the technique of depreciation before praise.

The more Yue’s parents envy the Ye Family now and the more favorably they view Ye Zhaoyu and the others, the more embarrassing it will be for them when Yue Heng achieves success later on.

Yep.

So ruthless that they want to slap their own parents in the face, not bad at all.

Ye Xiao quickly flipped to the dialogue between Yue Heng and Tong Simeng and continued to indulge in role-playing, changing her voice back and forth, having quite a good time.

“Tong Simeng: Was it Uncle and Aunt’s call? Do they… do they know everything?”

“Yue Heng took a deep breath: Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“Tong Simeng, looking shocked: How is this related to me? It’s clearly you…”

“Yue Heng cut her off, his voice tender: Simeng, talking about this now is redundant. Since even my parents have gotten the message, Ye Zhaoyu couldn’t possibly be unaware. Right now, he might be rushing over here.”

“Tong Simeng, in agony: Why… why is this happening? There’s nothing between us; we’re innocent.”

“Yue Heng said: Yes, we are innocent. But, will Ye Zhaoyu believe it? Simeng, you heard it, I’m different from before. This time, for you, I’ve withstood the pressure from home. As long as Tianxing Club wins, then I can prove myself, and I really will have the means to take you home! You know, I’ve never let go of you. Can you wait for me a little longer, wait until I win, and then take you home openly and honorably?”

“Tong Simeng was very moved, tears shimmering in her eyes: Yue Heng, it’s all too late, I already belong to Zhaoyu now.”

“Yue Heng, somewhat angry: Ye Zhaoyu will only keep ignoring you, hurting you! Being with him is degrading yourself! Believe me, in this world, only I love you the most.”

“Tong Simeng became even more moved.”

Ye Xiao role-played for a while and couldn’t help exclaiming.

“Ew… these two just embraced and began to kiss passionately? Help, there’s no need to describe it so vividly!”

The other members of the Ye Family all looked toward Ye Zhaoyu in unison.

Then, each one of them averted their gaze, trying to cover up their own embarrassment.

It was a tragedy.

This kid really was in a tragic situation.

Thankfully, only he (she) could hear Xiaoxiao’s inner voice.

Ye Zhaoyu felt numb already.

On his way here, his heart was filled with pain and despair.

But now, only one thought prevailed.

God.

Couldn’t these two have some decency? They’re doing this, and Xiaoxiao saw everything!

How is he supposed to face his sister after this as her brother?

Ye Zhaoyu felt like he was on the verge of crying.

But still.

He had to stay strong and continue listening if he wanted to find out more of the plot.

[Oh, a kiss lasting a whole ten lines, finally they are done kissing.]

[Tong Simeng: No, we can’t do this. I can’t betray Zhaoyu.]

[Yue Heng said passionately: But your heart says otherwise, you’ve loved me all along, right?]

[Tong Simeng, a little panicked: No, it’s not like that…]

Ye Xiao continued with the role-play.

Classmate Ye Zhaoyu finally couldn’t take it anymore.

It was just…

If Xiaoxiao had to watch this text broadcast any longer, he would die of embarrassment!

Ye Zhaoyu decisively took out his phone and called Tong Simeng.

[Eh? The plot has changed. Tong Simeng’s phone suddenly rang, and when she saw the screen, it was Ye Zhaoyu’s number?! Tong Simeng was thrown into chaos, and in her flustered state, her phone dropped to the ground.]

Everyone once again looked toward Ye Zhaoyu.

Ye Zhaoyu calmly said, “I made a call to scare Tong Simeng.”

[Who knew the third brother could be so naughty. It seemed like Tong Simeng really got scared. Yue Heng glanced at the phone screen, suddenly, he pulled Tong Simeng into his arms, and then, he answered the call. The moment the call connected, he kissed Tong Simeng on the lips.]

[Tong Simeng’s face flushed, she wanted to say something, but feared revealing her current situation, so she had to forcibly restrain herself.]

Ye Zhaoyu: “…”

Were these two not done yet???

He kind of wanted to die!

Ye Lin was quick and snatched Ye Zhaoyu’s phone, turning on the speaker.

Tong Simeng’s somewhat hesitant voice came from the other side.

Having heard the plot, everyone knew what she was doing right now.

Instantly, they looked at Ye Zhaoyu with even more sympathy.

Ye Zhaoyu, with a stern face: “Tong Simeng, where are you? I’m coming to find you now?”

Tong Simeng’s voice was a bit frantic: “Umm… uh…”

It sounded like she had finally managed to break free, still slightly breathless: “Zhaoyu, I’m at the hotel, I haven’t gone anywhere.”

Ye Zhaoyu said decisively: “Good, I’m coming to find you.”

“Zhaoyu, wait…” Tong Simeng was cut off before she could finish as Ye Zhaoyu had already hung up the phone.

Everyone once again turned their gaze collectively toward Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao continued to focus on eating his popcorn.
