One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 179
Chapter 179: Chapter 156: The Performance Begins
On the other side, Tong Simeng was persuaded by Yue Heng to continue to send Ye Zhaoyu pitiful photos of herself.
Every time she thought about giving up, Yue Heng would encourage her to hold on a bit longer, insisting that she must clear up the misunderstanding with Ye Zhaoyu.
Tong Simeng was moved by Yue Heng’s great love, sobbing with emotion, how could Yue Heng love her to such an extent. He was even willing to suppress his own feelings as long as she was happy.
Yue Heng also gave Tong Simeng various reassurances, implying that even if Ye Zhaoyu couldn’t forgive her in the end, he would be there for her and would always treat her well.
Tong Simeng was originally enjoying the attention from two men in secret.
Now, Yue Heng’s behavior was blatantly allowing her to string along two men openly. Tong Simeng couldn’t help but feel smug about it.
“Simeng, don’t worry,” Yue Heng encouraged Tong Simeng, “Ye Zhaoyu may seem unresponsive, but he is surely shaken inside. As long as you can meet with him, you’ll have the chance to explain everything to him.”
Tong Simeng’s gaze flickered slightly, looking at Yue Heng with anticipation, “He won’t answer my calls or reply to my messages now, how can I possibly meet him?”
Yue Heng revealed a mysterious smile, “He will come to the hospital tomorrow.”
Tong Simeng was puzzled.
Yue Heng’s smile became more enigmatic, “This hospital is the one where Ye Bingtong was taken for emergency treatment. Tomorrow, Ye Bingtong will hold a press conference in the ward. Didn’t you say that Ye Zhaoyu came back this time because of Ye Bingtong’s suicide attempt? He won’t miss this press conference. He and the Ye family will most likely come.”
Tong Simeng’s eyes glinted slightly.
She had looked at the online news, but she hadn’t paid attention to or remembered the specifics about which hospital Ye Bingtong was in.
Yue Heng, however, had remembered it.
It looked like.
His bringing her to this hospital had not been a coincidence after all.
He had thought it through from the beginning, looking to create an opportunity for her to meet Ye Zhaoyu.
The schemes of Yue Heng were indeed unfathomable.
But Tong Simeng wasn’t scared; she only felt sweetness.
Yue Heng was doing this all for her, wasn’t he?
Being so treasured by Yue Heng, she indeed felt like the happiest person in the world.
“Okay,” Tong Simeng whispered, “I’ll listen to you.”
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Yue Heng said softly, “You should rest for now.”
Tong Simeng nodded happily.
When Tong Simeng fell asleep,
Yue Heng left the ward.
He picked up his phone.
It had been blowing up all evening.
Parents.
Friends.
People from the club.
Everyone was asking him what was going on.
How this matter should be handled!
Yue Heng’s expression darkened slightly.
All these questioning voices, he had anticipated them.
But it didn’t matter.
In the eSports industry, winning is everything.
As long as Tianxing Club can keep winning, the club won’t lack fans.
As for him, the club owner, he could just stop appearing in front of cameras if necessary.
As long as Tianxing wins the championship and he keeps a low profile for a while, everything will naturally blow over.
After a few months pass,
even the biggest issues would fade away, light as clouds, soft as breeze.
His family didn’t matter either.
His father always thought he was mediocre and had subjected him to suppressive education since he was young. Taking over Tianxing Club was his way to prove his abilities.
As long as the club wins, his father would start to respect him.
As for some private life matters, they’re insignificant for a successful man!
Therefore.
For him.
The only crucial matter right now,
was for Tianxing to win the championship!
“`
As everyone knows, in esports, the winner takes all. Only the one who wins in the end will have the right to “call the shots.”
As long as we win the championship, the fans can bring Tianxing Club back to life!
That’s what matters most.
So.
He didn’t care about anything else, his sole focus was to appease Tong Simeng first.
He did have feelings for Tong Simeng, of course.
But his affection for her couldn’t outweigh his career.
He only needed to keep Tong Simeng in the dark a little while longer. Once Tianxing won the championship, he would naturally compensate her.
The investment he was making now was all worth it.
Yue Heng quickly responded to messages from all sides.
Then.
He started to arrange things for the following day.
Ye Zhaoyu did like Tong Simeng very much. Yue Heng didn’t need Ye Zhaoyu’s feelings for Tong Simeng to last forever.
Just another half a month, only half a month more!
Thinking of this.
Yue Heng felt somewhat annoyed with himself.
He had been too hasty.
This time, he shouldn’t have made this trip. His plan was to make Tong Simeng depend on him more, to make it easier to get information from her.
Who would have thought so many things would go wrong.
In the following half-month, he had to be very careful, then more careful still.
The next day.
It was a brilliantly sunny day.
Ye Xiao got out of bed and glanced at the plot.
There was a minor update from Tong Simeng’s side.
Essentially, Yue Heng had bribed someone at the hospital, so when Ye Zhaoyu arrived, they would find a way to let him meet with Tong Simeng.
Ye Xiao raised her eyebrows.
Excellent.
The affairs of the two female leads were coming together.
She was curious to see how this scene would play out.
According to the book’s usual pattern, at such critical moments, there wouldn’t be an update until a few minutes before the events unfolded.
Ye Xiao thus waited patiently.
In the afternoon.
Ye Bingtong had made her preparations.
She lay on the hospital bed, her face pale.
Her wrist was bandaged tightly.
If the bandage was removed, inside was a carefully crafted special effects wound that would withstand even high-definition cameras without giving anything away.
She planned to use this wound to sell a story of tragedy!
With the wound, along with the medical certificate provided by the doctor, this continuous tragedy would be sold. Would the netizens dare to blame her after that?
If executed well, she might even drag down the Ye Family members who pushed her to this point!
This time.
Ye Bingtong had invited many media outlets, and had also sent an invitation to the Ye Family.
She was calculating her own little scheme.
If the Ye Family spoke ill of her, she could use it to deepen her image as a pitiable person.
If the Ye Family, wary of public opinion, showed her kindness and concern, she could use the opportunity to market a thaw in her relationship with the Ye Family, perhaps even getting some benefits from it.
Either way, she would not lose!
Pleased with her own cunning plan, Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but feel smug. This move was simply a stroke of genius!
No matter what, she was in an unbeatable position.
“It’s about time,” Pei Yue looked at his watch and said, “I’ll go out and call the media in. You all remember the procedure we agreed upon, right?”
Ye Bingtong smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems this time.”
Luo Li and the doctor beside him both nodded, signaling that they knew what to do.
Only then did Pei Yue go out to begin this performance.
