One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 36: Chapter 13: Do you still like this gift?

Translator: 549690339

Chen Yueyue suddenly found it hard to believe as she looked at Ye Bolin.

The Ye Bolin who once catered to her every need and always looked at her with adoration, now seemed like a completely different person.

How…how could he treat her like this?

Were their many years of affection really so fragile?

Chen Yueyue was in despair, but the recording continued to play.

In the recording, Chen Yueyue’s voice was filled with pain: “… do you think I am a bad woman?”

The people at the scene were already recording like mad.

Oh my God.

What a ridiculous question.

Having an affair and carrying another man’s child, yet wanting to marry her fiancé and have him become the happy father.

For a man, it wouldn’t be too much to say this was the ultimate shame, would it?

In the recording, Chen Yueyue’s anguished tone made it seem as if she was the victim.

What was even more shocking came later.

Ye Bingtong, who was conversing with her, actually firmly stated that there was nothing wrong with what Chen Yueyue did, insisting she was just trying to give her child a home.

Ye Bingtong kept saying that Ye Bolin loved her so much that even if he knew the truth, he would definitely forgive her.

And then… then Chen Yueyue believed it, and even so righteously felt that there was nothing wrong with her actions!

This!

What an absurd remark.

While frantically flashing their cameras, the crowd couldn’t help but turn their eyes toward Ye Bolin.

Ye Bolin stood there, his expression unusually calm, not saying a word, just the corners of his lips holding a faint smile.

The crowd then understood.

A few days ago.

When the news that Ye Bolin had abandoned Chen Yueyue broke, Ye Bolin must have already known about this matter.

However, he didn’t reveal the truth immediately, instead allowing the Chen Family to jump around leading the public opinion. The Chen Family thought they completely grasped the initiative, and at this press conference, they were waiting for Ye Bolin to come apologize with bated breath.

But what were they waiting for if not an apology!

It was basically a deadly knife!

Ye Bolin, it seemed, had planned this all along, willing to expose his own shortcomings to disgrace Chen Yueyue utterly in public!

Was Ye Bolin wrong?

No one could truly say that.

Chen Yueyue and the Chen Family actually had several opportunities to back down.

Chen Yueyue knew full well the child wasn’t Ye Bolin’s, and Ye Bolin asked to call off the engagement; if she had had an ounce of shame, she would have owned up to it right then, and both families could have parted on good terms, avoiding this entire situation.

If the Chen Family hadn’t tried to pressure Ye Bolin with public opinion, affecting the Ye Family’s stock price in the process, Ye Bolin might not have been so ruthless.

In the end.

It wasn’t so much that Ye Bolin was too cruel, but that the Chen Family went too far.

Below the stage, Chen Feng and Guan Qin’s faces were ashen.

“Where did this recording come from, it’s all fabricated. I’m going to…” Chen Feng was about to rush up.

Ye Mingcheng smiled slightly and held him back, “President Chen, whether the recording is fabricated or not, we can have it verified by a professional institution later. What’s the rush now? Come on, let’s continue listening.”

Chen Feng and Guan Qin’s expressions changed subtly.

They suddenly remembered Chen Yueyue’s unusual behavior.

Why was she so scared when the topic of calling off the engagement came up, and why did she initially stop them from finding Ye Bolin.

She was clearly feeling guilty!

Chen Feng’s gaze suddenly became fiercely fixed on Chen Yueyue’s belly.

No wonder the Ye Family had such an attitude before; they must have known long ago that it was an illegitimate child.

Who would care about an illegitimate child!

It was one thing for the Ye Family to react this way, but such an important matter, and his precious daughter hadn’t said a word to them.

If she had even breathed a hint of this, they would not have ended up in such a passive position now.

Even if the child had been aborted, the Ye Family would have had no evidence.

Now what?

Not only did they fail to gain any advantage, but they also completely enraged the Ye Family, causing Ye Bolin to cast aside his pride, determined to publicize this scandal!

Unable to contain himself, Chen Feng glowered at Chen Yueyue with venom.

He really has a good daughter!

The recording was still going on.

Next.

Ye Bingtong urged Chen Yueyue to forget that man and live a good life.

But how did Chen Yueyue answer?

She shyly indicated that she seemed to have fallen in love with that man and could never forget him.

Everyone: “???”

No. You said it yourself, the two of you met for the first time, and right after the meeting, before you even had a chance to talk, it was that thing.

And then. You fell in love with him?

This…

Is it because that man is great in bed?!

Just as everyone felt their values continuously being shattered.

Suddenly, a pleasant laughter rang out at the scene.

Everyone unconsciously looked over.

Ye Xiao didn’t need to look to know.

It was definitely that noticeable man hogging the main role.

Indeed.

There was Qin Mobei, looking intently at Chen Yueyue, his lips still curled into a pleased smile.

He heard it.

She admitted it with her own mouth.

Fallen in love with him.

Indeed.

His months of concern were not wasted, this woman’s heart, indeed had him in it.

Chen Yueyue, she should be his woman!

Chen Yueyue seemed to notice Qin Mobei’s burning gaze, and she subconsciously lowered her head.

The humiliation brought about by the exposed recording was tinged with a bit of shyness. Her heartbeat sped up crazily.

Oh my God!

Her feelings were heard loud and clear by that man.

She… she didn’t want to live anymore.

Chen Yueyue kept her head down, covering her increasingly warm cheeks.

Next in the recording, Chen Yueyue further expressed her longing for the man that night, and Ye Bingtong even encouraged her, telling her to slowly look for him, and it wasn’t too late to divorce Ye Bolin after she found him.

Even though Ye Xiao had already heard it once, upon hearing such value-shattering comments again, she still couldn’t help but make a sardonic remark.

[Indeed, the world within the book is such that only the male and female leads are a person, and to them, the supporting characters are just clowns that can be played with at will.]

The world within the book…

Gu Yan suddenly glanced at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, “Uncle Gu, why are you looking at me?”

Gu Yan cast his gaze downwards, concealing the reflection in his eyes, “Nothing.”

Previously, when Ye Xiao talked about male leads, female leads, and supporting characters, he thought it was just her unique way of expressing herself.

But this time. Ye Xiao’s inner voice clearly stated that here, is the world within a book.

So.

Chen Yueyue and Qin Mobei, these people, are the protagonists of the book.

And they, are just supporting characters that can be easily manipulated?

A chill flashed across the depths of Gu Yan’s gaze.

He didn’t care what this so-called world within the book was, but he knew, he, Ye Bolin, and all the other supporting characters, they too were real, with flesh and emotions.

Just for the incomprehensible feelings of those male and female leads, should they pave the way with the blood and tears of these supporting characters?

He wasn’t willing.

Presumably, many so-called supporting characters wouldn’t be willing either.

In this life, let’s see, when the supporting characters no longer unconditionally make way for them, whether these so-called protagonists can still reach the perfect ending of their former life!

Once Chen Yueyue finished expressing her deep feelings for that man, Ye Bolin turned off the recording.

He looked at Chen Yueyue and asked indifferently, “Do you still like this gift?”
