One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 83
Chapter 83: Chapter 60: Responsible for Maintaining an Alluring Face
Ye Xiao was a bit surprised for a moment.
She was still thinking about how to persuade her family, yet they had already agreed directly?
“Eh? Aren’t they going to ask about the situation before accepting just like that? Hiss, the Ye Family in the novel doted on Ye Bingtong without limits—is it my turn now?”
Ye Xiao doubted her life.
The few members of the Ye Family, however, felt somewhat awkward at the moment.
In Ye Xiao’s thoughts, the original plotline was something they really couldn’t bear to hear, and if they did, they would only want to beat themselves up.
“Forget it, that’s not important. Next step, let me think about how to make this event bigger. And I have to invite La Jingzhou over too.”
“Xiaoxiao.” Ye Bolin cleared his throat and said, “This is the first time you’re bringing friends home to play, and that’s no small matter. The house hasn’t had much excitement for a long time, so why don’t we just throw a big party this time?”
Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up.
“A party? A party sounds great! Lots of people!”
It would be more convenient to expose Bai Shilan’s true face too!
Adding on, Du Yaru said, “Let me handle this event. Bolin, invite your business partners too, consider it a social networking opportunity.”
Ye Mingcheng nodded, “I just got some top-quality wine, we’ll make it a wine-tasting party.”
“Alright.” Ye Bolin readily agreed, “A few days ago, President La of the La Family was here, and because time was tight, we didn’t meet. This time, why not invite him to come and have some fun too?”
Ye Xiao’s eyes shone brighter as she listened.
“Right, that’s the beat! Such perfect teamwork. It’s just too in sync.”
“President La is busy, he might not be willing to make the long trip over,” Ye Mingcheng said with a chuckle, “But last time he came, we didn’t fulfill our duties as hosts, which really wasn’t very good. Now that we have good wine, we should indeed invite him over again.”
“Father, don’t worry. I’m somewhat confident that I can get President La to come,” Ye Bolin said with a smile.
La Jingzhou had come over last time, but Ye Bolin hadn’t met with him at all.
Originally, if La Jingzhou’s public opinion offensive had been too intense, he and Gu Yan had prepared to intervene and were determined to take down Bai Shilan.
But this time, Liu Yan snuck over.
So, he and Gu Yan did not make a move at all.
It was Liu Yan who detonated the various scandals of Bai Shilan behind the scenes, forcibly sinking Bai Shilan and Ye Bingtong together.
On the surface, Ye Bolin and La Jingzhou seemed not to have any conflict whatsoever.
Nothing more than after Li Mingyu’s contract termination, he joined Xingguang Film and Television.
But he had terminated his contract, all the film and television companies had offered olive branches. In the end, Li Mingyu chose Xingguang Film and Television, and even La Jingzhou couldn’t say much about it.
Since there were no rifts in their relationship, inviting La Jingzhou over for wine tasting was perfectly normal, wasn’t it?
Of course.
La Jingzhou would most likely refuse.
However.
That didn’t matter.
A few days ago.
Ye Bolin had already secretly made contact with Liu Yan.
Liu Yan was now looking for a way to break off her engagement.
If he told her that Bai Shilan was going to be at the party, and that Bai Shilan seemed to be interested in Ye Lin.
Naturally, Liu Yan would find a way to bring La Jingzhou over.
Once everyone was gathered, the show could truly begin.
Ye Xiao nodded in agreement as she listened.
Speaking with smart people just saves effort.
She suspected her elder brothers had also considered using Bai Shilan to stir up trouble.
Isn’t this a stroke of luck?
On the surface, Ye Xiao maintained a proud facade: “Since it’s my friend, you guys better take good care of her.”
“Without proper care, how could she repay her great efforts to drag second brother into the mix!”
Ye Bolin smiled and said, “Xiaoxiao, then tell your friends that the banquet is set for three days from now. We’ll definitely prepare well these few days to ensure she has an unforgettable night.”
Ye Xiao’s eyes curled with joy: “She definitely will.”
“Ye Lin, don’t just loaf around all scruffy when you’re not filming. Try to look sharp when you meet people,” Du Yaru pointed out.
“Right, they’re at least your fans. You can’t be looking unkempt like this. You need to take better care of yourself these days,” Ye Mingcheng said with a face full of disgust.
They had put together such a grand affair; they had to make it exciting.
If Bai Shilan suddenly changed her mind and didn’t flirt with him, all their efforts would be wasted!
Ye Lin:
How was he scruffy!
And another thing.
What did they mean by wanting him to flirt with Bai Shilan?
He would rather die than comply!
[I hope this time can completely change the course of the plot. If it were to follow the original storyline, once my second brother fell for Bai Shilan, La Jingzhou would poison his voice, and ruin his face. My second brother would then be unable to continue his beloved acting career.]
Ye Xiao sighed in his heart.
Ye Lin’s expression became hesitant.
Just yesterday, he had heard something about the plot from Ye Xiao’s heart voice, and he thought something was wrong with his brain.
He went to the hospital for a check-up first thing in the morning.
In the end, it was proven that he was perfectly fine, not a thing wrong with him.
But indeed, he had heard Ye Xiao’s heart voice.
Ye Lin couldn’t help but think.
Could it be…
Some kind of guidance from heaven?
Could it be true that if things went as they were meant to, he would actually fall in love with Bai Shilan, leading to his doom?
Ye Lin’s expression couldn’t help but turn serious.
He was originally not one to believe in such superstitious nonsense.
But then.
He suddenly heard Ye Xiao’s heart voice.
This was somewhat unscientific.
If something so unscientific could happen, perhaps Xiaoxiao being able to predict the future, that could happen too, right?
Ye Lin didn’t understand at all why he would suddenly develop feelings for Bai Shilan, whom he had never had anything to do with. But now that he was on guard, such a thing was impossible.
If he could get rid of her from his thoughts sooner, that wouldn’t be so bad.
After thinking it over, Ye Lin chose to remain silent.
“It looks like everything’s settled for everyone,” Ye Bolin said. “So, to welcome Xiaoxiao’s friend, let’s split up and get to work. Xiaoxiao, you’re in charge of arranging the time with your friend. I’ll handle inviting the others, Father will prepare the wine, and Mother will take care of other matters at the banquet. Ye Lin…”
Ye Bolin glanced at Ye Lin: “You’re responsible for keeping a face that’ll attract people.”
Ye Lin:
This was somewhat speechless.
With that settled.
Ye Xiao made a phone call to Bai Shilan.
“Xiaoxiao.” Bai Shilan was obviously excited; her voice was trembling as she answered the phone.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly: “My parents said they are willing to meet you.”
Bai Shilan’s eyes lit up instantly.
“They said they want to hold a banquet in your honor. Be there in three days,” Ye Xiao paused. “My second brother will also be there.”
Bai Shilan’s excited breathing became heavier, and she agreed repeatedly.
When she hung up the phone, her face was still flushed.
She had said she wanted to visit the Ye Family, and they were actually going to hold a banquet for her. Was such treatment something ordinary people could receive? Could it be… Could it be that they were considering her as a daughter-in-law?
It made sense. She had expressed her fondness for Ye Lin before. Could it be that he hadn’t said anything at the time, but he actually had feelings for her in his heart, hence he wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to her?
The more Bai Shilan thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and she couldn’t help humming a tune, her whole being radiating with joy.
Just wait and see, once she won over Ye Lin, she could completely free herself from La Jingzhou’s control.
