Chapter 62: Chapter 39 Children

Translator: 549690339

Chen Yu, the child, didn’t appear much in the plot.

He was just a tool, someone who fell into the water and was then saved by Ye Bingtong.

Since Chen Yu had suffered psychological trauma, he was immersed in his world and couldn’t come out. Throughout the ordeal, he had never spoken a word.

After being saved, he was the same as before, not uttering a single word.

But.

After all, Ye Bingtong did save Chen Yu’s life, and Li Mingyu was indebted to her for that.

The film was important to her.

However, after her son and daughter-in-law had an accident, her only grandson became even more important to her.

Therefore.

After Ye Bingtong hinted that she wanted the role, Li Mingyu hesitated for a long time but eventually agreed.

Saving her grandson’s life was more important to her than anything else.

Ye Xiao watched the upcoming plot unfold.

After Ye Bingtong left, she went to find Bai Shilan.

Then, under Bai Shilan’s insinuation, she tried hard to ingratiate herself with Chen Yu.

But Chen Yu showed no reaction, just staring blankly on his own.

According to the description in the book, Chen Yu fell into the river by accident while watching an ant.

Then, Ye Bingtong jumped into the river without hesitation to save Chen Yu.

Afterward, she developed a fever from going into the water.

Because of her heroic act of saving a life, she won the gratitude of Li Mingyu and the recognition of her family.

Ye Bingtong secured the role just like in her previous life and broke into the entertainment industry.

Ye Xiao looked at the plot and slightly raised her eyebrows.

Chen Yu was the apple of Li Mingyu’s eye; in school, he was always attended by a nanny.

In the end, Bai Shilan somehow managed to send the nanny away, yet she and Ye Bingtong failed to take good care of the child, letting him fall into the water.

Knowing he was a special child, they still hadn’t looked after him properly.

To be frank, both female leads were at fault here.

Moreover.

Now Ye Xiao had discovered that the plot in the book always subconsciously glorified the actions of the male and female leads.

Now that the real world had filled in their actions, Ye Xiao even began to doubt how exactly Chen Yu fell into the water.

Whether it was an accident or deliberate, a child’s fall into water should be avoided if possible.

Ye Xiao watched Ye Bingtong walk out of the lecture hall, then after casually speaking a few words to the people around her, she also got up and followed.

Just looking at the plot.

Doesn’t reveal all the details.

She might be able to change the outcome of Chen Yu’s fall into the water by altering the text.

But if it’s changed once, there’s no guarantee there won’t be a second or third time.

She had absolutely no trust in the character of these two female leads.

Ye Xiao glanced at Li Mingyu still working, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.

If she now tells Li Mingyu to go to the lake, Li Mingyu would probably not believe her, and she couldn’t explain how she knew what was going to happen next.

It’s better for her to go and check it out herself, if there really is a problem…

She had Professor Yan’s contact information and could ask Professor Yan to help arrange for Li Mingyu to come over when the time came.

Thinking this way,

Ye Xiao also leisurely walked toward the lake.

No matter what purpose Ye Bingtong intended to use the child for, she assured herself that Ye Bingtong would not succeed.

By the lake,

Ye Bingtong rushed over immediately.

This time,

Bai Shilan had already taken off her sunglasses and revealed her true face.

Ye Bingtong had long known, but she still managed to show just the right amount of shock on her face, “Sister, you… you are…?”

Bai Shilan smiled slightly, saying softly, “I am Bai Shilan.”

“Sister Bai,” Ye Bingtong said excitedly, “how could it be you? Do you know? You are my idol!”

Bai Shilan immediately revealed a gratified expression, chuckled, and said, “Your second brother is the real national idol.”

Ye Bingtong was very perceptive, “I think, second brother and you are a perfect match! You both share the same profession, similar interests! It would be great if you could be my sister-in-law.”

A blush crept onto Bai Shilan’s fair face, her voice becoming even softer, she couldn’t help asking, “Bingtong, did your audition just now not go smoothly?”

Ye Bingtong’s eyes flickered. She concealed the fact that Ye Xiao had also attended the audition, after all, Ye Xiao was the true heiress of the Ye Family. Bai Shilan wouldn’t help her if she knew Ye Xiao had also participated. If she found out… she might not be willing to help.

With an aggrieved look, Ye Bingtong simply said, “Director Li’s requirements are too high, she eliminated me right away.”

Bai Shilan did not find it strange, “Director Li’s personality is a bit strict. You will get used to it eventually.”

Ye Bingtong’s eyes shifted, “Eventually? But I’ve already been eliminated, where is there going to be an ‘eventually’?”

Bai Shilan immediately revealed a mysterious smile, “You should know, even the strictest and most principled people have their weaknesses. This Director Li, she too has a huge weakness. If you can grasp that weakness, you could turn your defeat into victory.”

Ye Bingtong’s eyes lit up, she couldn’t help asking, “What weakness?”

Bai Shilan wore a triumphant look and spoke in a gentle tone, “Soon, a child will come over. This child’s name is Chen Yu, and he is Director Li’s only grandson. Director Li’s son and daughter-in-law both lost their lives in a car accident, they desperately protected their only son, Chen Yu survived. But after witnessing the death of his biological parents, he took a severe hit and has not spoken since. This child is Li Mingyu’s precious treasure; if you manage to win him over, let alone a role, if you want to be the female lead in all of Li Mingyu’s future films, she would gladly offer it.”

There was such a story?

Ye Bingtong listened with eyes gleaming!

“But this child is very introverted, and it might not be so easy to win him over. You try first,” Bai Shilan said.

However, Ye Bingtong was quite confident, “Is it just a child? A little coaxing should do the trick. It’s just that I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare some things that children like.”

Bai Shilan revealed an expression of disdain, “No need to prepare. This child is quite peculiar. He doesn’t want toys, snacks, anything. He just spends his days daydreaming. You try first. If it doesn’t work, we will think of another plan.”

Ye Bingtong agreed.

The two had just finished speaking, when the nanny came over with Chen Yu.

Bai Shilan gave Ye Bingtong a meaningful glance.

She had given the nanny some benefits, asking her to bring Chen Yu here in the afternoon.

Next, it was Ye Bingtong’s time to shine.

Seeing Ye Bingtong, the nanny was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Miss Bai, this… who is this?”

Bai Shilan smiled, “A friend of mine. She really likes children, so I brought her over to see Xiaoyu.”

The nanny hesitated.

She had taken the benefits from Bai Shilan, thinking Bai Shilan wanted to curry favor with Chen Yu. But now, a stranger had appeared…

Remembering the instructions Li Mingyu had given her, she started to feel uneasy.

“It’s fine,” Bai Shilan raised an eyebrow, “could I possibly harm Xiaoyu?”
