One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 126: Chapter 103 Absolutely Not!

As Ye Bingtong realized that the book might exploit her musical talent, Ye Xiao was eating dinner while thinking about how to broach the subject.

[Ye Bingtong’s signing with Xuanjia Music is going to be announced tomorrow. How can I bring up this matter without leaving a trace?]

Ye Xiao thought with some distress.

The members of the Ye Family set down their chopsticks simultaneously.

Ye Mingcheng remained impassive.

His beloved daughter must have discovered something again and wanted to warn the family in advance.

Xiaoxiao couldn’t say it outright, but, fortunately, he had the ability to hear Xiaoxiao’s inner voice.

The arduous task of starting the conversation could only fall to him.

The others, after all, were not the chosen ones and couldn’t bear such a responsibility.

Du Yaru smiled slightly.

This time, she would be the one to speak up.

She wanted Xiaoxiao to know that she would always be the most understanding mother.

Ye Bolin’s brows raised subtly.

He had also heard a bit about Bingtong’s situation. He didn’t want to taint Xiaoxiao’s ears by mentioning it, but if Xiaoxiao wanted to talk, then he, as her brother, had no choice but to step in.

These three were pondering how to start the conversation.

As Ye Lin was eating, he casually asked, “Speaking of which, how has Bingtong been lately?”

Ye Xiao’s eyes immediately brightened.

Second brother!

[It’s like whatever I’m thinking just comes true! Second brother, my eternal hero!]

The others cast an angry glance at Ye Lin.

This simpleton as their eternal hero?

If it weren’t for them being preoccupied with their thoughts and missing some details, would they have let him be the obvious choice?

Ye Lin, confused by his family’s stares, suddenly found the chicken leg in his mouth not as tasty.

He felt wronged.

The family told him not to mention Bingtong in front of Xiaoxiao, and he had complied.

This time, wasn’t it Xiaoxiao herself who wanted to talk?

Oh, right.

Although he spent the least amount of time with Xiaoxiao, heaven had chosen him to hear Xiaoxiao’s inner voice.

That’s why he was so perceptive!

What about the others?

They would never truly know what Xiaoxiao was thinking.

It was downright pitiable.

“Bingtong hasn’t been to school for the past few days,” Ye Xiao interjected covertly.

Ye Bolin actually knew why Bingtong hadn’t been to school.

Under Gu Yan’s hints, he was particularly concerned about the male and female protagonists mentioned in Xiaoxiao’s inner voice.

In Xiaoxiao’s inner voice, Bingtong was also characterized as a female protagonist.

And what is a female protagonist? It’s a formidable existence that, no matter how many times they fail, will always stand back up, never giving up.

Therefore.

Even after Bingtong was driven out of the Ye Family, Ye Bolin still kept an eye on Bingtong’s situation.

He saw all of Bingtong’s self-destructive actions clearly.

After all, she was the sister he had cherished for so many years. Bingtong’s choice silenced him for a long time, but in the end, he did nothing.

The Ye Family had truly done all they could for Bingtong.

Even after she had made such a mistake, when she left, she still took ten thousand yuan with her.

If Bingtong had planned well, that ten thousand could have been enough to complete her education.

But.

She failed to complete the transition of roles, and still saw herself as the Ye Family’s precious daughter, which quickly led her into a state of poverty and destitution.

Ye Bingtong’s attempt to reconcile with Gu Cheng was something Ye Bolin had already come to know.

He found it utterly ridiculous.

The so-called true love they professed so vehemently in the beginning.

In the face of reality, it didn’t even last a month!

This made Ye Bolin even more irritable.

In Xiaoxiao’s inner monologue, it was inconceivable that the original them could lose everything because of such a so-called true love.

It was simply laughable.

Ye Bingtong this time chose a path of self-degradation. She thought she had found herself a new way out.

But Ye Bolin knew all too well that some paths, once embarked upon, can never be retraced. The path she chose was, in fact, a dead end.

Ye Bolin knew this, but he was not about to remind Ye Bingtong, nor did he consider saving her.

She didn’t deserve it.

He wasn’t that cheap either.

Ye Bolin’s plan was to let Ye Bingtong swallow the bitter fruits of her own making.

He originally didn’t want to sully Xiaoxiao’s ears with these filthy matters. But since Xiaoxiao wanted to know, he could speak of it tactfully.

Ye Bolin was pondering on this.

“What’s going on?” Ye Lin threw a direct question again, asking with great curiosity, “Bingtong never used to be absent.”

Ye Bingtong had always embodied the image of a good, obedient student—there was even precedent of her stubbornly attending class with a high fever.

Being absent was something that never seemed to be associated with her.

Ye Xiao blinked, “I don’t know either.”

[My gosh, I know what happened, but I can’t just tell them. Do I directly tell them that Ye Bingtong was sent to the dinner table by Pei Yue, and then accompanied the over-fifty-year-old chairman of Xuanjia Music? You have to dig out this information yourselves!]

Ye Xiao looked at the Ye Family members with hopeful eyes.

She couldn’t actively reveal this information, but the Ye Family members could go and investigate.

The entertainment circle is not that big after all.

Although Xingguang Film and Television had never been involved in the record industry, if Ye Bolin and the others wanted to know the truth, they could find out in minutes!

“What!!” Ye Lin was stunned upon hearing the inner monologue; his chopsticks dropped onto the table involuntarily!

Sent to the dinner table?

With the over-fifty-year-old chairman?

Does it mean what he thinks it means?

No way!

Ye Bolin couldn’t help but look at Ye Lin skeptically.

Why such a big reaction?

Xiaoxiao only said it in her thoughts, she didn’t speak it out loud.

Ye Xiao also looked at Ye Lin with a puzzled face.

Ye Lin’s face stiffened, trying to cover up, he said, “That chicken leg just now… it was so delicious! It was so good that I couldn’t help but exclaim.”

Although the reason sounded odd, Ye Xiao still considerately added a few more chicken legs to Ye Lin’s plate, “Second brother, if you like it, they’re all yours.”

Ye Lin: “…Thank you.”

Without showing his emotions, Ye Bolin glanced at Ye Lin, then said, “As for Bingtong’s situation, I do know some. She is about to sign a record contract. Her boyfriend seems to have some capabilities; he managed to hook up with the boss of Xuanjia Music. The news about their cooperation should be announced soon.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up.

What a relief, so much relief indeed.

She was still wondering how to guide her family to find out on their own, yet it turned out that her brother already knew everything clearly.

[It’s not going to be announced soon, but tomorrow they will announce the news of the cooperation.] Ye Xiao silently added in her mind.

“If Ye Bingtong is signing with a record company, it means she’s entering the entertainment industry. Xuanjia Music has some strength in the music industry, but if I wish, I can ensure their collaboration doesn’t make any waves,” Ye Bolin said slowly.

Ye Xiao: “???”

Not make any waves!

That’s something that absolutely can’t happen!
