“Yes, no need to wait, I’m on it now!” Ye Mingcheng grabbed his phone and made a call right away.
What a joke. His daughter nearly got hurt at school, and such a significant incident occurred without anyone notifying him! Did they even consider him important? Did they still expect donations from him in the coming years?
Ye Mingcheng left with an air of fury.
Ye Bingtong looked to Ye Bolin for help, “Big brother, isn’t Dad’s approach somewhat inappropriate?”
Ye Bolin furrowed his brows and spoke softly, “Indeed. Dad is getting on in years after all, and his actions lack consideration.”
Ye Bingtong’s eyes lit up involuntarily.
As expected, big brother is the reasonable one!
Ye Bolin snorted coldly and said, “I’ve heard that Pei Yue has joined some ruffian organization, getting involved in fights and brawls every day. He’s been to the police station several times and always gets released after a few days. Those ruffian organizations must be pulling strings for him. In my opinion, such organizations should be completely suppressed! I am preparing some funds and gathering some connections to uproot these ruffian groups once and for all.”
After speaking, Ye Bolin too picked up his phone and left.
Ye Bingtong: “?????”
What the heck!
Why is my big brother even crazier than Dad!
Father is only trying to get Pei Yue expelled from school.
And Ye Bolin is directly targeting the ruffian organizations of Luo City?
Ye Bingtong couldn’t imagine what Pei Yue’s reaction would be if he came out and found the world turned upside down like this.
Not just Ye Bingtong, even Ye Xiao was somewhat dumbfounded.
Wait a minute. Something’s not right.
If Pei Yue gets expelled, how will the story progress?
There’s still the part where Pei Yue turns over a new leaf for Ye Bingtong and returns to campus.
If he really gets expelled, there will be nowhere for him to return to!
And that ruffian organization Pei Yue is part of has plot lines coming up. Pei Yue tries hard to study and gain the Ye Family’s approval for the sake of Ye Bingtong, but they look down on him. They even use forceful measures to split them up.
Then, Pei Yue turns dark.
He calls back his ruffian underlings, fights his way through the underworld, eventually rises to the top, and then slowly legitimizes his funds. Only then does he become the domineering CEO of the future.
But now.
All these key plot points, are they going to be gone?
Hisss.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Had the Ye Family been bewitched by her, how come they’re suddenly so cooperative?
If this continues, isn’t her fate going to change within minutes?
“Xiaoxiao, next time something like this happens, you must tell us right away. What kind of riff-raff dares to bully the daughter of the Ye Family?” Du Yaru spoke as she pulled Ye Xiao to sit by her side.
Ye Xiao lifted her chin, an air of arrogance about her, “I just thought I could handle it myself.”
But Du Yaru heard her inner voice.
[They say I’m the daughter of the Ye Family, but when the female supporting character arrived at the Ye Household, she didn’t receive much attention either, right? When the female lead was emotionally agitated with her headache, they were all busy taking care of her, weren’t they? What’s happening, why have their attitudes suddenly changed?]
Ye Xiao pondered in her inner voice.
Listening, Du Yaru shuddered inside.
She recalled when Xiaoxiao first arrived.
Back then, Xiaoxiao was like a porcupine with spikes all over, fearing she would be overlooked. So she became confrontational from the start, competing and fighting with Ye Bingtong for everything.
Meanwhile, Ye Bingtong always appeared non-competitive, obedient, and sensible.
In the end, Ye Xiao had snatched the room she wanted, the clothes she wanted, the jewelry she wanted.
But their hearts involuntarily leaned towards Ye Bingtong.
At night, she was worried about Ye Xiao, who had just come to the Ye Family, and had intended to keep her company, but Ye Bingtong suddenly came down with a headache, calling out “Mom, Mom” incessantly.
Her heart raced, and she left Ye Xiao behind to accompany Ye Bingtong.
At that time, Xiaoxiao even screamed hysterically, but she thought she was just being childish and didn’t pay her any attention, still planning to properly educate this daughter later on.
After she had stayed by Ye Bingtong’s side the whole night, the next day, she found out that Ye Xiao had developed a fever.
She hurriedly took care of Ye Xiao, who soon recovered.
However, once the fever had subsided, she seemed like a completely different person, neither making a fuss nor bothering to engage with them on a regular basis.
Everything changed when Gu Cheng arrived that one time.
She suddenly heard Xiaoxiao’s inner voice.
And so, her world started to collapse.
It turned out that the Ye Bingtong she had always thought was sweet and cute wore such a false mask.
It turned out that her Xiaoxiao was only using a facade of arrogance and bossiness to hide her inner insecurities.
Just now Xiaoxiao’s inner voice was talking about “supporting female and female lead”.
Clearly, in Xiaoxiao’s view, Ye Bingtong was the cherished female lead, while she was just an unnoticed supporting character.
This was a helpless self-mockery of her own fate!
Du Yaru’s eyes began to redden.
She was thinking.
What kind of foolish things had she done!
If it wasn’t for hearing Xiaoxiao’s inner voice, she might have really ended up neglecting her own daughter for the sake of a foster daughter without realizing it.
So, it was normal for Xiaoxiao to feel so insecure now.
The only thing she could do
was to give Xiaoxiao more love in the future, to make up for her past mistakes and so that Xiaoxiao could gradually learn to rely on them.
This time with Pei Yue’s incident, Xiaoxiao didn’t talk to them about it, likely because she felt that they simply wouldn’t protect her.
Xiaoxiao feeling this way wasn’t her fault, it was Du Yaru’s fault, the Ye Family’s fault.
Her poor daughter, how much grievance had she hidden in her heart.
Thinking this, Du Yaru almost wished she could slap herself a few times.
Slapping herself wasn’t enough, once Ye Mingcheng was done with his work, he also needed a few slaps.
He couldn’t hear his daughter’s inner voice; what if he misunderstood her again!
This time, she would not let Xiaoxiao down again, no matter what.
“Mom!” Ye Bingtong was frantic, “You’re really making a mountain out of a molehill! Just look at Ye Xiao, she doesn’t have a single injury on her, the person who’s hurt right now should be Pei Yue! We need to get Pei Yue released as soon as possible.”
Just as Du Yaru’s guilt towards Ye Xiao was at its peak, hearing these words, she gave Ye Bingtong a cold glance, “Attempted harm is still harm. Bingtong, the Ye Family has raised you for so many years, I don’t expect you to be grateful, but at the very least, you should understand the most basic principles! If Pei Yue really did nothing wrong, would the police arbitrarily arrest someone? For this little thug, have you already cast aside all the things the Ye Family taught you over the years?”
Speaking with unusual sternness, Du Yaru left Ye Bingtong stunned.
In her memory, this was the first time Du Yaru had spoken to her with such a tone.
A great sense of panic suddenly rose in Ye Bingtong’s heart.
This time,
it seemed that acting spoiled and cute wouldn’t be enough to get her past this.
Did Dad and Mom… really despise her?
