“Dad, Mom, and big brother. I… am leaving now.”

Ye Bingtong’s eyes were brimming with tears as she turned to leave.

Chen Yueyue couldn’t help but grab her arm, and then she spoke up to tell the truth for Ye Bingtong.

“Uncle, Aunt, and Bolin. Bingtong is so heartbroken, can you truly be so heartless? Are all these years of affection really so unimportant to you?”

In a softer voice, Chen Yueyue said, “Have you forgotten? When Bingtong was little, she was so adorable. Bolin, you used to brag to me about having such a cute little sister. Do you really not remember?”

Ye Bolin pursed his lips.

“And Uncle and Aunt, Bingtong is so well-behaved and lovely. Every time you took her out, wasn’t she always admired by others? Do you still remember why she worked so hard to learn piano?” Chen Yueyue declared with an almost melodramatic fervor.

Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru fell slightly silent.

They couldn’t help but recall Bingtong’s obedient and lovely demeanor from the past.

She started learning piano at six years old, always diligently working hard, and had always been the most worry-free child.

Bingtong had said the reason she worked so hard was that she wanted to make her parents proud.

How had things suddenly turned out this way?

Could they truly let go of their daughter so easily?

The Ye Family each reflected, while Bingtong’s eyes blurred with tears.

Chen Yueyue continued, “You may not know this, but she started learning piano because of the Lin Family’s daughter, who also played the piano! Bingtong told me that the girl was so ugly, yet just because she could play a bit of piano, everybody praised her. That was so unfair. So, she decided to learn piano too.”

The expression of the Ye Family members froze.

What?

Ye Bingtong learned piano because of the Lin Family’s daughter?

Ye Bingtong herself was stunned, looking incredulously at Chen Yueyue.

Why was Chen Yueyue bringing this up all of a sudden? How could this help her return to the Ye family?

“Yueyue sister, could you be mistaken?” Ye Bingtong hurriedly interjected.

Chen Yueyue herself didn’t understand why she blurted out Bingtong’s little secret. Panicking, she couldn’t help but continue to spill.

“How could I possibly be wrong? That Lin Family’s daughter, let me think, what was her name again? Lin Yun, right? When Bingtong was little, she was best friends with her. And why? Because she was ugly, and Bingtong felt she could highlight her own beauty!”

“Yueyue sister!” Ye Bingtong felt she was going to lose it, reaching out to cover Chen Yueyue’s mouth.

Chen Yueyue, completely out of control, pushed Bingtong’s hand away and kept speaking: “I’m not lying! Bingtong learned piano to utterly outshine her. That Lin Yun was completely useless, not as pretty as Bingtong, nor as talented in piano. After being bested by Bingtong a few times, she actually became depressed. Hahaha, she’s just too weak.”

Chen Yueyue seemed to find it genuinely amusing, her lips continuously curled in a pleased smile.

Everyone else, however, fell silent.

Lin Yun, they all knew her.

The Lin Family’s younger daughter.

Originally, they lived next door, and Bingtong had a particularly good relationship with them.

Later the Lin Family moved abroad, all because Lin Yun suddenly became depressed and needed a change of environment for treatment.

But it turns out.

All of this was related to Ye Bingtong?

Ye Xiao was dumbfounded.

She only changed one character, and she didn’t expect it would lead to such a speech!

This Lin Yun, like her, was also a supporting actress.

Later, after Lin Yun returned from abroad, she became a famous music composer and was targeting Ye Bingtong everywhere in the entertainment industry.

In the end, she was naturally branded as someone jealous of Ye Bingtong’s talent before being completely suppressed by the male and female leads. At last, on a solitary night unknown to anyone, Lin Yun slit her wrists and committed suicide.

That book would never reveal how its female lead drove a child into depression.

It would not tell of the many hardships Lin Yun had endured either.

But peeling away the surface, hidden behind the male and female leads’ happy ending, how many tears and blood were shed by the supporting characters?

The original Ye Xiao was.

So was Lin Yun.

“Yueyue sis, you’ve gone mad, what are you talking about!” Ye Bingtong’s face went pale as she tried to stop Chen Yueyue.

But Chen Yueyue kept on speaking uncontrollably.

“And do you remember when we were young, Bingtong lost her favorite cat and cried for days?” Chen Yueyue said with a smile, “Actually, Bingtong lost the cat herself, and it was my idea.”

“She lost it herself?” Ye Mingcheng gritted his teeth, “Why? We bought it because she liked it, didn’t we?”

“Dad, it’s not true, Yueyue sis must be possessed.” Ye Bingtong waved her hands in a panic, her eyes full of chaos.

“Yes, it was what she liked. But liking something is only temporary, she soon grew bored of it, yet, she needed to maintain her facade of being kind and gentle. What to do then? Of course, the only option was to secretly get rid of the cat. To prevent you from finding the cat, she threw it very far away. Afterwards, she even cried for three days, that was part of putting on a show too,” Chen Yueyue continued with a laugh.

She and Ye Bingtong had a very close relationship, they almost talked about everything since they were young.

Some things Ye Bingtong wouldn’t dare show in front of the Ye Family, but in front of her, there were no secrets.

“Don’t think that Bingtong did anything wrong,” Chen Yueyue continued, “After all, she is not your biological daughter. Without using some means, how could she keep you loving her all the time?”

“No, it’s not true.” This time, Ye Bingtong truly went mad. She rushed forward, trying to stop Chen Yueyue once more.

Ye Mingcheng’s expression was as grim as water, “Go, restrain her! Let Chen Yueyue finish!”

Several servants immediately stepped forward and controlled Ye Bingtong.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t move, she could only watch Chen Yueyue with a face of despair.

“Bingtong is not my biological daughter, this we have also only known recently,” Ye Mingcheng said coldly, “What, she knew about it a long time ago?”

“The first time she went for a physical examination, she discovered that her blood type was different from yours. She came to me in fear to talk about this, and it was I who helped her falsify the results and hide this secret,” Chen Yueyue glanced at Ye Xiao and said, “It was also this time, somehow, a mistake was made!”

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Somehow?

That was, of course, the power of the plot.

Ye Xiao was still relatively calm.

The faces of several members of the Ye Family could not hold back any longer.

They thought.

Ye Bingtong had only been misled by that blond kid and made a few mistakes in the past few days.

But these incidents, one after another!

Ye Bingtong’s former obedience and cuteness turned out to be all an act.

“It’s not like that,” Ye Bingtong was desperately crying, “I don’t know why Yueyue sis suddenly wants to slander me like this, but I didn’t do these things, I only recently found out that I am not dad and mom’s biological daughter!!”

“Slander?” Chen Yueyue was not convinced, “Bingtong, that’s not right of you. I have always been helping you cover up your lies. The night before last, you clearly went to a motel with Pei Yue, and didn’t I cover for you too?”
