Chapter 71: Chapter 48: Ye Bingtong Bullied Me

Translator: 549690339

Ye Family.

Ye Mingcheng and the others already knew there was a little guest at home, so they weren’t too surprised to see Chen Yu when they returned.

Chen Yu sat next to Ye Xiao, with Du Yaru feeding him all kinds of delicious foods on the side. The three of them seemed quite joyous together.

When Ye Xiao looked up, he saw Gu Yan.

[How did this scoundrel get here!]

Ye Xiao immediately glared at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan was confused.

Scoundrel?

How had he become a scoundrel?

There must have been some incident he was unaware of.

Gu Yan glanced at Ye Bolin and seeing his smug expression, he instantly understood a bit.

If this had nothing to do with Ye Bolin, he’d write his name backwards.

Ye Mingcheng was completely confused.

What was the situation? Why was Xiaoxiao acting like Berlin, showing some kind of grievance towards Gu Yan? Could it be that Gu Yan had bullied Xiaoxiao?

Ye Mingcheng’s gaze towards Gu Yan suddenly turned a bit unfriendly.

Gu Yan remained composed, although wronged. First, he had to keep calm.

Gu Yan pondered for a moment.

It seemed like the last time he took Ye Xiao to the news conference. Afterwards, Ye Xiao began to ignore his messages.

Everything had been fine when he dropped Ye Xiao off at home.

Such a sudden change must have involved some spiteful person causing trouble.

Gu Yan looked meaningfully at Ye Bolin for a moment, and then, smiling, he said, “Xiaoxiao, I must formally apologize to you.”

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, “Uncle Gu is an elder, what is there to apologize for to a junior like me?”

Gu Yan had gotten used to being called Uncle Gu, he chuckled bitterly and said, “That day, I took you to the news conference without your family’s consent. That was my mistake. On our return, we were also seen by Bolin, and he has been scolding me for it privately ever since. Indeed, I was thoughtless. Apologizing is only right.”

Just because of that?

Ye Mingcheng’s expression became more pleasant.

That evening, he had noticed Ye Xiao at the scene, but he had pretended not to see.

After all, he knew Xiaoxiao liked to watch the fun.

Ye Xiao was also somewhat surprised. Eh? Big brother saw it himself? Didn’t big brother say that Uncle Gu had secretly tattled to him?

Ye Xiao turned his head to look at Ye Bolin, Ye Bolin’s smile slowly faded, and then reappeared on Gu Yan’s lips.

“Berlin, I know you’re concerned about Xiaoxiao, rest assured, I won’t sneak her out again. Xiaoxiao is a student, and education should come first. Although the hustle and bustle outside is intriguing, since you don’t want her to go out, I can only abide by your wishes,” Gu Yan said.

Ye Bolin: “…”

Death!

Gu Yan should die!

[Hiss. Seems like I might have misunderstood Uncle Gu?]

Ye Xiao blinked, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Ye Bolin was going mad.

No.

This man had played his cards like this. Could Xiaoxiao really not see it?

Ye Bolin thought again.

If he had been unaware of Chen Yueyue’s true colors for so many years, his mentality almost collapsed.

“Haha, they are all trivial matters, no need for apologizing back and forth.” Ye Mingcheng laughed heartily as he smoothed things over: “Xiaoxiao, introduce your little guest.”

Ye Xiao took the opportunity to change the subject and gave a brief introduction of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was also very well-behaved, greeting everyone in turn.

He looked so well-behaved and adorable that everyone loved him dearly.

Ye Xiao watched Chen Yu looking like the darling of the group and felt a sense of relief.

She liked that Chen Yu was able to receive more and more love. Only that way, could she slowly pull him out of his sorrowful past.

[Director Li wants to replace Bai Shilan. How should I bring this up to my elder brother and the others? If Bai Shilan is replaced, La Jingzhou will certainly be displeased. Director Li and Huanyu Film and Television are sure to fall out. Wouldn’t that be a perfect opportunity for poaching?]

Ye Xiao was thinking about this.

Ye Bolin asked indifferently, “Xiaoxiao, Director Li has entrusted his grandson to you. Does it mean there’s some progress with the movie?”

Ye Bolin’s question came at just the right moment!

Ye Xiao immediately revealed a triumphant smile, “Director Li has already agreed with me that the most important role is mine! Now, as she continues the auditions, she’s selecting for the role previously held by Bai Shilan.”

Ye Bolin cooperatively continued, “Bai Shilan’s role? Does Director Li want to change the cast?”

It was partly cooperation but also genuine curiosity.

The La Family had deep roots in the entertainment industry, with the Liu Family backing them up. They held considerable power and influence.

Everyone in the industry knew that Bai Shilan was La Jingzhou’s most cherished canary. Suddenly replacing Bai Shilan would mean a fallout with La Jingzhou, wouldn’t it?

Ye Xiao was about to say something.

Suddenly, Chen Yu’s eyes reddened, and he looked as if he might burst into tears at any moment.

“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?” Du Yaru’s heart softened upon seeing this, and she hurriedly helped him wipe his tears.

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, starting to worry. Was Chen Yu having an attack?

Chen Yu sobbed quietly and said in a low voice, “Grandma does everything for me. That Bai Shilan, she’s a bad person. And there’s another bad person helping her. They want to push me into a lake.”

Two bad people wanting to push such a small child into a lake?

What kind of utterly heartless person could do such a thing!

Everyone’s faces turned grim.

Boiling with rage, Du Yaru demanded, “Xiaoyu, please don’t cry. Tell Auntie, besides Bai Shilan, who are these bad people? Why would they bully you?”

Ye Xiao suddenly found it amusing.

[I was wondering how to bring it up without a trace, and here Xiaoyu comes through so powerfully! Really my little darling, I want to hug him and give him a kiss.]

Ye Xiao didn’t know that when Chen Yu spoke these words, the system judged that the subsequent storyline involving him would rise dramatically. In places no one could see, Chen Yu had upgraded from a disposable extra to a supporting character.

The upgrade happened silently, and its immediate effect was that Chen Yu suddenly began to hear Ye Xiao’s thoughts.

Chen Yu was still playing the role of the victim, but he suddenly heard Ye Xiao calling him her little darling and wanting to hug and kiss him.

Chen Yu turned around and looked at Ye Xiao with disbelief.

On the surface, Ye Xiao merely smiled, but her inner thoughts exposed her.

[Ahhh, he’s so cute. Should I find an excuse to keep him? I don’t want to give him back anymore.]

Chen Yu’s face turned red instantly.

Sister clearly hadn’t spoken, yet he could hear her voice.

Was this what Sister was thinking inside?

Chen Yu turned his head, pressing down the joy about to burst forth, and still looking aggrieved and pained, he said, “The other one is very, very bad; she seems to be called… Ye Bingtong.”

Ye Bingtong?

The faces of the Ye Family members all changed.

“What did she do now?” Du Yaru asked somewhat shockingly.

While his eyes were still red, Chen Yu exaggerated the story.

“She wanted to purposely push me into the lake and then rescue me, and after that, ask Grandma for a reward,” Chen Yu said pitifully. “Later, I was lucky enough not to fall into the lake. It was Sister Xiaoxiao who rushed out to protect me. Otherwise, they would have continued to bully me!”

Chen Yu looked extremely pitiable.

The faces of the Ye Family members turned ashen!

Ye Bingtong!

Why is she involved in everything!
