One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 217
Chapter 217: Chapter 194 Wedding Scene
Hearing Ye Xiao’s heart voice, a smile couldn’t help but form on the corners of Ye Bolin’s lips.
That’s good, Xiaoxiao is still as lively as ever.
Without hesitation, Ye Bolin said, “Qin Mobei has invited the whole family; why don’t we all go together and enjoy the bustle?”
Ye Xiao’s eyes instantly lit up.
[Oh, oh, it’s everyone going together. That means I can’t be accused of being nosy; it’s all about fitting in with the group. No big deal, I’ll do my best to maintain my cool goddess persona.]
The smile on Ye Bolin’s lips deepened, “Xiaoxiao, what do you say?”
Ye Xiao’s expression was calm, feigning indifference, “Since everyone is going, I’ll go as well.”
[Oh, oh, oh, to watch the fun, to catch the gossip.]
Ye Xiao struggled to control herself and not burst into laughter.
She wasn’t a person of many hobbies, but her greatest pastime was gossiping!
Especially a grand event like the main characters’ wedding—if she missed out, she would regret it for life!
[I’m just going for the gossip, don’t worry, I promise to keep my cool at all times and not cause you any trouble!]
Hearing Ye Xiao’s heart voice, the smiles on the faces of the Ye Family members vanished for an instant.
Ye Mingcheng looked lost.
Du Yaru stopped herself mid-sentence.
Ye Xiao… whom was she making these promises to?
They recalled the words in Ye Xiao’s heart voice that day in the hospital.
“Even though you’re not here anymore…”
Who is this “you”?
After returning home, they’ve been turning this sentence over in their minds.
And the more they thought about it, the more an inexplicable heartache would set in.
They couldn’t help but entertain some guesses.
But they all tried to tell themselves that it wasn’t true, that it was impossible.
If…
If…
If the Ye Xiao of the past really was no more, would they be forever unable to atone for the sins they had committed?
The girl who had suffered so much, who had gone through so much pain to finally come home.
Had she truly disappeared forever after that fever?
Du Yaru kept her head bowed, not letting anyone see her reddening eyes.
She loved the current Ye Xiao so much.
It was because of the current Ye Xiao that their family was able to change their destiny and have a new life.
To her, Ye Xiao was as close as flesh and blood.
She was someone Du Yaru wished to make amends to with all her heart.
Yet, Du Yaru couldn’t stop herself from recalling the sudden changes in her daughter.
That day, Ye Xiao was like a completely different person, and suddenly, they could hear her heart voice.
They only thought that their daughter had encountered something miraculous and gained the ability to foresee the future.
But if…
If their original daughter had truly vanished in that high fever?
If.
If they had actually lost the opportunity to make amends to her.
The mood amongst the Ye Family members was incredibly complex for a moment.
Whom is Xiaoxiao making promises to now? Why does she feel the need to make these promises, and why keep up a cold front?
They had too many questions but were unable to voice them.
Ye Xiao was unaware of the Ye Family members’ complicated thoughts and kept up her brand-new aloof persona, standing up and saying, “I’ll go back to my room now.”
Then, she headed upstairs with a calm face.
[Oh yeah, the act is finally over; I can binge-watch my favorite guys for a few days!]
Ye Xiao’s heart voice was filled with exuberance.
The Ye Family members couldn’t help but let out a gentle laugh.
On the day of Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue’s wedding.
Ye Xiao glanced at the plot.
After the book about Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong disappeared, only three books remained.
These three books were now being updated bit by bit every day, just like squeezing out toothpaste.
Ye Xiao speculated that, after the plot had collapsed to this extent, someone behind the scenes was trying to straighten it out. However, as more and more supporting characters awoke, it appeared that the person behind them was running out of tricks.
The most powerful method these books now had was to set pivotal plot points.
But setting pivotal plot points was not something that could be done indiscriminately.
With supporting characters awakening and taking action one after another, these books struggled to keep up with placing key scenes.
Ye Xiao guessed that a crucial plot development might occur during today’s wedding.
Her quota for altering characters was becoming more and more precious.
But,
if she encountered any crucial plot that could change the overall situation, she would still have to act.
At the wedding venue.
At Chen Yueyue’s request, the wedding was a grand affair. With half a year of preparation, Chen Yueyue personally took care of everything for the wedding.
She wanted the most romantic wedding, so from the bridal gown to the decorations to the flowers used at the wedding, everything was of the best quality.
Naturally, this wedding also cost a substantial amount of money.
If it had been before,
Qin Mobei wouldn’t have cared in the slightest. He would have wished to give Chen Yueyue nothing but the best.
But this time,
he watched the helicopter crazily scattering petals and felt his heart bleeding.
The Qin Family’s recent situation was not very good.
Because of Chen Yueyue, Ye Bolin made it clear he was opposing the Qin Family.
Gu Yan added insult to injury.
Just dealing with these two was already troublesome enough for him.
And then,
company employees started rebelling inexplicably, and his long-time chief secretary, An Keqing, resigned.
Qin Mobei wasn’t particularly concerned when An Keqing decided to leave at first.
An Keqing was attractive and thoroughly understood his work and life habits.
Chen Yueyue had always been jealous over this.
To please Chen Yueyue, he intentionally reprimanded An Keqing with a cold face a few times.
But even if he scolded her, An Keqing was just an employee; couldn’t she just listen obediently?
Yet she actually dared to resign!
At that moment, Qin Mobei was infuriated, feeling humiliated. He agreed immediately, thinking to himself that it would be good to teach this woman a lesson. He didn’t believe that An Keqing could find a better job than at the Qin Family’s after leaving.
But then,
right after An Keqing resigned, she joined the Ye Family and even helped Ye Bolin secure a major client.
It didn’t stop there. When An Keqing left, other employees also started resigning in droves. Even when Qin Mobei offered them raises, not a single one wanted to stay.
Ye Bolin gave An Keqing a lot of freedom. She formed her own team and took all her previous subordinates with her. In several business confrontations, he found himself defeated by An Keqing’s hands consecutively.
It was then that Qin Mobei realized
the extraordinary personal capabilities of An Keqing. All the efficient tasks completed by his secretarial department over the years were largely thanks to An Keqing’s coordination.
He wanted An Keqing to come back, and he finally found an opportunity to see her.
But Chen Yueyue jumped out, slapped An Keqing on the spot, and accused her of being a homewrecker and a vixen.
Qin Mobei had come in secret, and with Chen Yueyue’s slap, all his forthcoming words were forced back. Facing An Keqing’s ugly expression, he could only quickly pull Chen Yueyue away.
Afterward, Chen Yueyue cried and said she was just too in love with Qin Mobei and insecure.
How could he not forgive their true love?
Qin Mobei had no choice but to forgive.
After this incident, Chen Yueyue clung even tighter to him.
Qin Mobei went from initially enjoying it to feeling somewhat bothered.
