Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Telling the Truth
Translator: 549690339
The following morning.
Enjoying a rare weekend, Ye Xiao and the Ye Family leisurely had breakfast.
After eating.
Ye Bolin took out a box and placed it in front of Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was puzzled, “What’s this?”
Ye Bolin raised an eyebrow, gesturing for him to open it.
When Ye Xiao opened it, there lay a pen inside, the brand was the same as the one Gu Yan had.
“From now on, I’ll give you a pen every day.” Ye Bolin said indifferently, “You can just throw them around for fun.”
Ye Xiao: “???”
This pen, it’s like a few hundred thousand apiece, right?
[Has big brother gone mad? Finished, will the Ye Family company go bankrupt ahead of time?]
Ye Bolin: “…Whatever that old man has, the Ye Family has too. From now on, stop paying attention to him.”
Ye Xiao suddenly realized.
So that’s what it was?
Ye Xiao felt sympathy for Gu Yan, who was referred to as the old man, and then said with conceited pride, “I didn’t plan to pay him any mind anyway. But one pen is enough; having more is just annoying.”
Ye Bolin nodded, “Next time you see something you like, just use the card I gave you to buy it directly. Don’t even think about saving money.”
“Rest assured, I have no intention of saving you money,” Ye Xiao declared.
Ye Bolin’s gaze became even more gentle.
Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru merely watched with amused smiles.
Just at that moment.
A timid voice rang out.
“Dad, Mom, Brother… I, I’m back.”
The harmonious atmosphere at the dining table vanished instantly as everyone turned to look.
It was Ye Bingtong.
She hadn’t come home for two straight nights and finally returned today.
And she didn’t come back alone; Chen Yueyue had come back with her.
Ye Bingtong’s eyes were red, close to tears, “Dad, Mom, Brother… I’m sorry, maybe I shouldn’t have come back. I’ll just leave… ”
She turned to leave.
Chen Yueyue grabbed her, then looked disapprovingly at the Ye Family, “Uncle, Aunt, and Berlin! Bingtong has been staying at my place these past two nights. She deliberately didn’t come home just to see if you would look for her. But what about you? You didn’t even give her a single call! Do you know how Bingtong spent the last two nights crying herself to sleep?”
[Oh snap? At your place? Wasn’t she snuggled up in a hotel with some blondie the night before? Last night she was indeed at your place, mainly because you both have a rich experience in cuckolding others, huh.]
What’s this about shared experience in cuckolding?
Ye Bolin already knew but didn’t react.
Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru were instantly dumbfounded.
What did Xiaoxiao’s words mean…
Could it be that their approved daughter-in-law also put a green hat on their son???
Their expressions immediately shifted.
Chen Yueyue thought they were persuaded and continued emotionally, “Uncle, Aunt, I understand that you’re excited to find your biological daughter. But what about the affection you’ve had with Bingtong for over twenty years? Does it mean nothing to you overnight? Do you know? These past two nights, she’s been dreaming and calling your names, showing how much she’s attached to you and the Ye Family! How can you be so cruel to push her away like this?”
[Tsk tsk tsk, the names she’s calling in her dreams, aren’t they that blond guy’s? Considering this heroine could later watch her parents get their legs broken without blinking an eye, I, Ye Xiao, officially call bullshit on this.] Ye Xiao couldn’t help but criticize.
Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru’s expressions turned even colder.
“Bingtong is so kind, so wonderful. She never thought to compete with Xiaoxiao for anything. Why can’t you have two daughters at the same time?” sighed Chen Yueyue, “Bingtong didn’t want to make Xiaoxiao unhappy; she actually didn’t want to come back. It’s just that her headache problem flared up again, and I really couldn’t stand to see her like that, that’s why I decided to bring her over.”
Chen Yueyue looked at Ye Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, I believe you’re a magnanimous person. You joined this family, not to tear it apart, right?”
Ye Xiao shivered.
Damn.
This Chen Yueyue, how she’s even more disgusting than Ye Bingtong.
Why is she so affected and emotional!
Ye Xiao looked at Chen Yueyue with a fake smile yet genuine arrogance and declared, “What a pity, I am a very petty person. I simply don’t like Ye Bingtong, and she annoys me whenever I see her. What can you do about that?”
Chen Yueyue revealed an incredulous expression and couldn’t help but say, “I am your future sister-in-law, is this how you speak to me?”
“So what if I said it!” Ye Xiao stubbornly retorted.
Chen Yueyue’s face changed, and she turned to look at Ye Bolin, “Berlin, aren’t you going to discipline your sister? You just allow her to anger me… to anger our child like this?”
As she spoke, Chen Yueyue also touched her stomach.
Tsk. She even dares to mention the child, a bastard born outside!
Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru looked at Chen Yueyue’s stomach at the same time, their faces sinking like water.
What on earth! What was this all about?
Ye Bolin said indifferently, “Yueyue, my sister may be a bit thoughtless. But you, just like Bingtong, are so kind, so pure, how could you stoop to her level?”
Chen Yueyue’s face immediately turned ugly.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but laugh outright.
Her eldest brother was actually using magic to defeat magic!
Chen Yueyue hadn’t expected Ye Bolin to say that, and she bit her lip, saying, “I… of course I wouldn’t stoop to her level. It’s just, her arrogance and overbearing behavior still need to be properly disciplined.”
“That’s a matter for the Ye Family, you needn’t trouble yourself with it,” Ye Mingcheng said directly.
This daughter-in-law hadn’t even entered the family yet, and she’s already pointing fingers at Xiaoxiao.
Plus, with Xiaoxiao’s thoughts…
Ha, it’s doubtful she’ll even be able to enter the family.
Chen Yueyue was taken aback, suddenly feeling incredibly wronged.
Her visit this time was originally to support Bingtong.
She was about to marry Berlin, and she was carrying a child in her womb, the parents of the Ye Family had always been good to her too, they should keep Bingtong for her sake.
Yet, their attitudes had suddenly all changed!
Indeed, Bingtong was right.
That Ye Xiao was toxic, an uneducated country bumpkin who could be cherished by the Ye Family.
She was the one to marry into the Ye Family, she wouldn’t tolerate having Ye Xiao, the younger sister-in-law.
So, helping Bingtong was also helping herself!
With tears misting her eyes, Bingtong said, “Sister Yueyue, there’s no need to say more. Xiaoxiao has suffered a lot outside, no matter what she does, it’s to be expected. I won’t blame her. I’m about to graduate and will be earning money soon, I will definitely work hard to repay the kindness of dad, mom, and my brothers. As for anything more, I dare not ask for it.”
As Bingtong spoke, tears fell like pearls.
The Ye Family watched with a feeling in their hearts that was hard to describe.
They only felt that they should be sympathetic, and so they truly became sympathetic.
This emotion came abruptly, as though artificially planted onto them, yet it felt incredibly real.
Ye Xiao glanced at the upcoming storyline.
Chen Yueyue was simply a master of sentimentality.
Next, she would start from Bingtong’s childhood, narrating the joyful times of their family with a moving tone, causing the Ye Family to fall into reminiscence and be emotionally affected.
She could now edit a word.
However, such a long and emotional speech, changing one word would be like a drop in the bucket.
Then she wouldn’t bother, a supporting female character couldn’t steer the plot; if the heroine was to return, she would always be able to.
While thinking thus.
Ye Xiao suddenly looked at the very first line of text.
“Chen Yueyue couldn’t help but begin to speak, supporting Bingtong: …”
Ye Xiao’s gaze flickered suddenly.
Supporting Bingtong.
Add a word?
Perhaps it would work.
Ye Xiao picked up a pen and changed the line to.
“Supporting Bingtong to tell the truth.”
Bring it on.
She’s quite curious to hear the truth herself.
