One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 32:

Chapter 32: Chapter 9 I Know Who the Adulterer Is

Translator: 549690339

[The Chen Family actually has the gall to manipulate public opinion? “Top-tier rich second generation dumps his pregnant fiancée” — what kind of absurd headline is that?]

Ye Xiao was stunned.

She was shocked not only by the Chen Family’s maneuver but also by Chen Yueyue’s tactics.

[Big brother, in consideration of the years of affection between you two, you gave Chen Yueyue three days to resolve the matter herself. Now look, her way of resolving things is to sling mud on you! After all, without a paternity test, there will be no definite result as to whether or not the child belongs to the Ye Family!]

It was clear that Chen Yueyue dared not reveal the truth, probably thinking that big brother had no evidence, and as long as she stubbornly denied everything, she could cast Ye Bolin as the scum of the earth.

After that, Ye Bolin only had two options.

One was to marry her and suppress the negative public opinion.

The other was to fight back, but since public sentiment naturally favors the underdog, a pitiful, beautiful, pale woman carrying a child, it’s obvious whom everyone would support more.

As long as big brother couldn’t produce conclusive evidence, he would have to endure this slander.

[This Chen Family… it’s impossible to shake them off! They contacted reporters and are even planning to hold a press conference about this matter. They really want the Ye Family to take the fall for this.]

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but make a snide remark.

The world in this book is indeed different.

She had only been here for a few days, and had already seen so many shameless acts, each more outrageous than the last.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao’s thoughts, the Ye Family’s expressions grew gloomier.

A glint of ice passed fleetingly through Ye Bolin’s eyes.

He indeed still had a sliver of affection for her, and that was why he had given Chen Yueyue three days to settle things, hoping they could part on good terms.

But now.

Not only did Chen Yueyue not intend to take any responsibility, but she also wanted to throw dirt on him!

Fine! Very well!

It was as if even the heavens couldn’t stand by and watch, which was why Xiaoxiao was given a premonition of the future again.

Now that he was aware of the Chen Family’s actions, he was in no hurry.

Come.

Then let’s play this out properly.

Did Chen Yueyue really think he had no evidence in hand?

If she dared to twist the truth, he was ready to reveal the recording of that day.

So what if the whole world finds out he was cuckolded?

Fine!

He’d accept it!

This humiliation would serve as retribution for his failure to see through people.

“Berlin,” Ye Mingcheng looked at Ye Bolin, “the Chen Family might be driven to reckless actions out of desperation. You need to be prepared.”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but glance at Ye Mingcheng.

[Huh? As expected of the former helmsman of the Ye Family, Dad still has sharp instincts.]

Of course.

Ye Mingcheng subconsciously straightened his chest.

“I understand,” Ye Bolin said calmly, “don’t worry, I have a plan.”

Ye Bolin, having managed the company for many years, had long honed the skill of keeping his emotions hidden.

But now, although he spoke calmly, there was an inexplicable sense of towering anger.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but shrink back a little.

Hiss.

[Big brother has already turned dark in the book, is he going to become dark earlier this time?]

Book?

Ye Xiao’s thoughts had mentioned this word for the first time, and the Ye Family members were momentarily stunned, unable to grasp the meaning.

In the book?

What does that mean?

Could it be that Berlin is a character from a book?

This thought inexplicably sent chills down their spines.

Xiaoxiao must know something!

But it couldn’t be asked directly.

The Ye Family members could only decide to interact more with Ye Xiao in the future and see if they could gain more information.

As for the present, they needed to deal with the Chen Family first.

“Xiaoxiao, it’s getting late, you and Bingtong should go to sleep now, you have school tomorrow,” Du Yaru spoke up.

Ye Xiao casually agreed.

The Ye Family probably wanted to discuss some matters. It didn’t make a difference to her whether she listened in or not, as she could see the plot in the book.

Just flipping through the book would give her a general idea.

Ye Bingtong, even more so, dared not say much, merely nodding continuously, the picture of perfect obedience.

That evening.

Ye Xiao briefly skimmed through the plot.

It was probably about how the eldest brother indicated he had a recording as evidence.

However, Ye Mingcheng decided to make a move for a few days to help stabilize the Ye Family’s empire.

They also discussed some other things, but the book didn’t go into detail.

There was, however, another matter.

Ye Xiao’s second and third brothers called one after the other to inquire about the eldest brother’s wedding date, so they could make time for it in advance.

Ye Bolin only said the wedding had been canceled and told them to relax and focus on their own affairs, and to just follow the news for updates.

The second and third brothers were confused, but one was a movie emperor currently shooting a film, while the other was an esports god in crucial training, both unable to leave abruptly.

Having said this, Ye Bolin eased their minds, and they simply instructed their people to keep an eye on the recent news.

The eldest brother, Ye Bolin.

The second brother, Ye Lin.

The third brother, Ye Zhaoyu.

These three were shining stars in their respective fields, but alas, supporting characters remain supporting characters, villains remain villains—with not one meeting a good end in the end.

Ye Xiao was contemplating this.

Suddenly.

Her phone lit up.

An email had arrived.

Ye Xiao glanced at the sender and slightly raised her eyebrows.

This was the person who had sent her the rooftop video last time.

It was Gu Yan.

There was only a short line in the email.

“I invite you to a great spectacle. Give me a way to contact you. How about it?”

A great spectacle?

What kind of spectacle?

Ye Xiao’s curiosity was immediately piqued.

But she wasn’t in a rush to reply, instead scanning the newly generated plots in the book.

How strange.

In any book, there was simply no existence of a person named Gu Yan.

Why was this?

Even the system couldn’t predict his actions?

Ye Xiao became even more curious.

She wrestled with her curiosity for a while but in the end couldn’t contain it and replied to the email.

In front of the large floor-to-ceiling window.

Gu Yan’s hand rested on the computer keyboard, the outside world aglow with countless lights, a sight too beautiful for words. But Gu Yan didn’t seem in the mood to admire it, staring unblinkingly at the computer screen.

Suddenly.

With a ding,

Gu Yan started smiling.

She had replied.

“What spectacle?”

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, “Add me as a friend. I’ll tell you in detail. Exchanging emails is inconvenient, too formal.”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but mutter,

What’s wrong with being a bit formal?

We’re not exactly familiar with each other, are we?

But then.

Since Gu Yan was so persistent, Ye Xiao didn’t feel like resisting anymore and simply sent over a WeChat ID.

Soon after.
