Chapter 74 - 51 Finally Able to Be Together Openly and Honorably
According to the plot described, Ye Bingtong, tears in her eyes, spoke a string of sentimental words.
Seeing that the Ye Family was still unemotional,
Ye Bingtong clenched her teeth and simply knelt down, trying hard to kowtow.
The Ye Family had been very generous to her over the years, and she indeed still had some money on her.
But compared with the luxurious lifestyle of the daughter of the Ye Family, what was this little bit of money worth?
Moreover, if she just left like this, wouldn’t she be letting Ye Xiao gloat to high heaven!
Right now, Ye Bingtong really didn’t want to see Ye Xiao’s smug and triumphant face.
While kowtowing, she was also composing her expression.
She wanted to make one final gamble.
All those years of affection couldn’t possibly have just vanished.
Dad, Mom, and Brother, they couldn’t possibly have no feelings for her anymore.
Feeling that the timing was nearly right, Ye Bingtong slowly raised her head.
Since she was a child, she knew how to make her family like her. Meekness and tears were her two trump cards.
This time, she was going to use both her trump cards at once.
In Ye Bingtong’s mind,
she was supposed to be like this next: eyes brimming with tears, pitiful and delicate, like a doll that could shatter at any moment, filled with a heart-wrenching charm.
But in the eyes of the Ye Family,
Ye Bingtong looked weird no matter how they looked at her!
Tears were in her eyes, and she had a seductive air, full of yearning. On her face, there were faint blushes, as if she was thinking about something, which made her look incredibly shy! Wait, what’s with that expression all of a sudden? The Ye Family members couldn’t help feeling a bit creeped out.
Upon seeing this,
Ye Xiao laughed.
She sighed once more in admiration.
This system was really straightforward! She had changed just one word, yet the system managed to replicate it so perfectly.
In the script,
“When she raised her head, her complexion was faintly blue, looking as if she could faint at any moment.”
Ye Xiao had casually made a small change.
“Her complexion was faintly blue,” was changed to “Her complexion was faintly passionate.”
As a result,
Ye Bingtong indeed had a lustful aura in her eyes, looking as if she was in the mood for love.
Ye Xiao originally wanted to hold back, but she couldn’t help it and burst out laughing.
Ye Bingtong, puzzled, looked at Ye Xiao strangely.
Ye Xiao suddenly said with sarcasm, “Ye Bingtong, it seems that you really want to leave the Ye Family. Is your little lover named Pei Yue waiting for you somewhere? Once you leave the Ye Family, you can be lovey-dovey with him, no wonder you look so enamored.”
Ye Xiao silently gave herself an internal thumbs up.
She was awesome.
This simple letter change not only prevented Ye Bingtong from looking pitiful,
but also reminded the Ye Family and Ye Bingtong of Pei Yue’s existence.
The male and female leads were bound to meet again, as was evident from the still-existing finales.
Now the two of them, the male lead kicked out of school and a homeless troublemaker,
and the female lead expelled from the Ye Family and a former lady with nothing left.
This meeting, would they not surpass countless others in the human world when they meet amidst golden winds and jade dew?
The Ye Family, hearing the name Pei Yue, would only remember past events and grow more disgusted with Ye Bingtong.
As for Ye Bingtong, hearing it would probably stir her thoughts, and she’d likely go looking for Pei Yue.
If these two are fated to meet,
then why not help them out?
Once upon a time,
Ye Bingtong resented the Ye Family for restraining her freedom, not letting her run off with that little punk.
Now,
the Ye Family isn’t restraining her anymore, they’ve set her free. She can find as many punks as she wants.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.
Did she truly like this kind of freedom?
Could the love between the male and female protagonists be as steadfast as portrayed in the books, stronger than gold?
Bingtong from the book.
But from beginning to end, she had never suffered materially.
But now.
From a young lady with abundant wealth to crashing down to the dust, could she really adapt?
Ye Xiao indicated that she would keep an eye on her.
“All right, all right. Go find whomever you want to find.” Ye Mingcheng waved his hand dismissively, “You can leave now.”
Everyone else also looked like they didn’t want to see her anymore.
Bingtong was somewhat panicked.
What did this mean?
She hadn’t even brought up Pei Yue, yet why were they all wearing this expression?
Bingtong still wanted to make an effort, but Ye Mingcheng lost his patience and directly called security.
Even after being thrown out of Ye Family’s doorstep, Bingtong still didn’t understand.
The expression she had on her face earlier, just where had it gone wrong?
Why not only had it failed to be effective, but it had also made the Ye Family dislike her even more?
Bingtong couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
No matter what the situation was, all of this, was surely connected to Ye Xiao!
The child had not suffered any harm, yet the Ye Family made a big fuss over such an issue, and even wanted to drive her out?
Could this really be because of this child?
Surely it must be due to Ye Xiao stirring things up with the Ye Family.
Bingtong was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, swearing that she must get revenge on Ye Xiao.
But as fierce as her words were, she felt utterly lost inside.
Now, she had been driven out by the Ye Family.
Where could she go next?
Bingtong sorted out her finances; in her bank account, her parents and several brothers used to give her some pocket money. Originally, she had quite a sum, but she had spent it all on various luxury goods, which, unfortunately, were all confiscated and she wasn’t allowed to take them with her.
Apart from some daily essentials, in the end, she only had about a hundred thousand yuan left in her card.
A hundred thousand yuan.
That amount of money couldn’t even buy one of her handbags.
But for the foreseeable future.
She had to rely on this money to live until she could earn her own.
Bingtong thought and thought, only to feel that her future was bleak.
In her moment of bewilderment.
She remembered the sarcastic words of Ye Xiao at the end.
Although she knew that Ye Xiao had no good intentions.
She did take Ye Xiao’s words to heart.
If talking about the ability to survive on one’s own, Pei Yue was far more capable than she was.
After the family crisis, hadn’t Pei Yue been living on his own all this time?
He had told her some stories about his solitary struggles; those stories were so exciting, so interesting! The world in Pei Yue’s stories, a world she had never encountered, filled her with a sense of novelty.
Previously.
She cruelly left Pei Yue for the sake of the Ye Family.
But now.
Since the Ye Family were so heartless, there was no need for her to suppress her feelings for their sake any longer!
She and Pei Yue could finally be together openly and honestly.
Someday, she would show the Ye Family that even without them, Bingtong could still lead an exciting life.
Bingtong took a deep breath and then called Pei Yue.
Her voice trembled, “Pei Yue, can you come to pick me up?”
“No, it’s not like that. I never truly let go of you from the beginning to the end. My parents found photos of you in my phone… they… they kicked me out of the house…”
“Pei Yue, for you, I now have nothing at all.”
As Bingtong spoke, she began to cry softly.
