One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Seven years.

La Jingzhou will come out after seven years.

That child.

Will also have grown up after seven years.

Ye Xiao faintly realized.

The remaining three books, presumably, were to accumulate strength, waiting to make a comeback after seven years.

After La Jingzhou was incarcerated, Bai Shilan had no one to rely on and was now working as a waitress in a restaurant owned by Liu Yan.

Although the plot had not been updated yet, if things went as expected, the reunion of these two after La Jingzhou was released would likely be another tormenting love story.

Ye Xiao, however, did not believe La Jingzhou could still make any waves.

Nevertheless, some preliminary preparations could still be made.

Since the restrictions from the books had lessened for her, Ye Xiao had already been able to actively participate in some of the plots.

Regarding Bai Shilan, Ye Xiao only made one suggestion to Liu Yan.

After La Jingzhou’s imprisonment, Bai Shilan’s living conditions would inevitably worsen significantly, and Ye Xiao suggested Liu Yan offer Bai Shilan an incentive program: for every kilogram she gained, she would be rewarded a thousand yuan. Moreover, Bai Shilan’s diet was not restricted while she worked at the restaurant, allowing her to eat whatever she wanted for free.

In this way, for the sake of the money, Bai Shilan would probably try desperately to gain weight.

Ye Xiao did not doubt that there were emotions in this world that could transcend everything.

But.

Such emotions clearly did not exist between La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan.

If their feelings had only stemmed from appearances to begin with,

Then they would also completely vanish with the change in appearance.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but start to look forward to seeing what it would be like when these two met again after seven years.

Ye Xiao made the suggestion, and Liu Yan gave a thumbs up before happily implementing it.

Ye Xiao watched the plot develop.

Bai Shilan was not stupid; she did not think Liu Yan had any kindness towards her. When Liu Yan proposed the incentive program, Bai Shilan could easily see the malice behind it.

However…

Knowing was one thing, but whether she could resist the temptation was another.

At first,

Bai Shilan still managed to suppress her desires, controlling her diet and wholeheartedly waiting for La Jingzhou to be released.

But… seven years was just too long.

It didn’t even take that much time.

Only a month later,

Bai Shilan couldn’t bear the urges within her heart anymore and wanted to buy a luxury bag. Her regular salary couldn’t cover such expenses.

Bai Shilan bit the bullet and put on ten kilograms to get that bag.

After that, things spiraled out of control.

Human desires are always endless, especially for someone like Bai Shilan, who once lived well and found it particularly hard to endure her current, ordinary life.

Initially gaining ten or twenty kilograms, Bai Shilan hypnotized herself that this was still a healthy weight.

Later on gradually, she gained forty, fifty kilograms.

Until later,

She couldn’t even bear to look in the mirror, and simply started to let herself go.

How things ended for La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan was still unknown.

But Ye Xiao had an intuition that the day these two would meet would be the day the book would reach its complete end.

After settling Bai Shilan’s affairs,

There was good news from Tong Simeng’s book.

Yue Heng’s parents…

After trying for a while, they genuinely managed to conceive a second child.

Having a child at an elderly age, both parents cherished the child immensely.

Yue Heng now wouldn’t even give them a call, acting as if he had nothing to fear. The two elderly people couldn’t be bothered with their son anymore and were wholeheartedly waiting for the birth of the second child.

Yue Heng still didn’t know that he was about to be abandoned by his family.

He was still working on his startup, waiting for the day he would amaze everyone, and make them all look at him in a new light.

Yue Heng had almost completely run out of money, but now, instead of asking his family for more, he was borrowing from his friends.

He was holding his breath, determined to prove himself.

Yue Heng’s friends also knew that he was the only son of the Yue family; they weren’t worried about getting their money back when they lent it to him.

Therefore, Yue Heng still managed to borrow a considerable amount of money to continue his entrepreneurship.

In order to make Yue Heng’s entrepreneurship a success, the book arranged all kinds of coincidences for him.

However, Yue Heng’s reputation was now so bad that even with the book desperately giving him a golden touch, there weren’t many people willing to cooperate with him. Even if there were a few, a warning from Ye Bolin and Gu Yan behind the scenes would immediately deter them. They knew all too well a principle: you must never give protagonists like them an opportunity. This Yue Heng had to be suppressed at all costs; there was no way he could be allowed to rise.

Yue Heng had failed several times in a row, with his money being lost time after time.

On the other hand, at the Yue Family, the image of the second child was becoming more and more stable. Yue Heng’s father had openly announced the news of the second child.

Just one piece of news, without the need for him to say more.

Yue Heng immediately panicked.

He had been so confident before simply because he was the only child of the family. Now, his parents had conceived a second child without so much as a whisper to him beforehand.

It was clear that they were planning to give up on him!

What frightened Yue Heng the most was that his friends, who had lent him money and told him not to rush the repayment, suddenly one by one came knocking on his door, crying poor and asking for their money back.

Poor? As if!

Yue Heng knew all too well.

These people were worried because they felt he was about to be abandoned by his family!

Yue Heng couldn’t help but grind his teeth in hatred. He hated his parents and his friends alike.

Just wait and see!

This embryo might not even be born yet, and these people think they can replace him?

But indeed, Yue Heng couldn’t sit still anymore.

He directly took Tong Simeng home with him.

When they entered the house,

Yue Heng’s father was reading to the child in Yue Heng’s mother’s belly, with the sunlight pouring down, the atmosphere was very serene and beautiful.

Yue Heng watched, feeling nothing but irritation.

He couldn’t help but shout, “Why didn’t you consult me before deciding to have a second child!”

Yue Heng’s father lifted his head and looked at Yue Heng with a blank expression, “Why should we consult you?”

Yue Heng clenched his teeth: “You both are getting old; if you’re feeling lonely, Simeng and I can have a child right away! Mom, abort this child, and Simeng and I will have one immediately. We will bring it home for you to play with!”

Tong Simeng also understood the gravity of the situation and quickly promised, “I’ll start preparing for pregnancy right away, I’m sure I’ll be pregnant within the year.”

Yue Heng was also pleased with his girlfriend’s sensibility, naturally adding, “Mom, did you hear that? We’re also going to have a child soon. If you give birth to this child, you definitely won’t have enough energy. Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital, and you can abort this child. Simeng and I can have one right away.”

As he spoke, Yue Heng moved to pull his mother along.

Originally, Yue Heng’s mother was somewhat happy to see Yue Heng return home.

Although disappointed in her son, she still harbored a sliver of fantasy.

But as it turned out,

her son returned only to demand that she abort the child in her womb.

And every single word from him was for his own sake, how was it again that he considered their feelings as parents?

The two elderly people, looking at Yue Heng this way, were utterly disappointed.

“Enough,” Yue Heng’s father shouted sternly, “Yue Heng, whatever you and Tong Simeng want to do is none of my business! If you want to have children, you’ll raise them yourselves, don’t think about dumping them on us. We, your mother and I, will take responsibility for our child, and we don’t need your care or your judgment.”

Yue Heng looked at them in disbelief, “You… you’re not afraid of hurting my feelings? If you insist on having this child, then you might as well not have me as a son!”

Yue Heng threatened.

He couldn’t believe it.

His parents would choose an embryo over their own son!

Yue Heng’s father scoffed: “Fine, from now on, I’ll act as if I do not have you as a son, you can leave right now.”

Yue Heng’s father showed no signs of backing down, leaving Yue Heng dumbfounded.
