One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 124: Chapter 101 Too Cowardly

Pei Yue stretched out his hand, gently caressing Ye Bingtong’s face, his voice eerie, “To be honest, I quite like this two-faced, deceitful side of you. Tears and vulnerability are your weapons. Sometimes, when I see them, I even forget about your cold-hearted nature.”

Ye Bingtong’s complexion turned unsightly.

Was Pei Yue mocking her?

She couldn’t help but clench her teeth, “What exactly do you want? Pei Yue, even if I’ve wronged you in our relationship, you haven’t suffered any significant losses, have you? Being with you has always been greatly in your favor. Now that I want to end this relationship, you shouldn’t feel at a loss, right?”

Pei Yue laughed, “End this relationship? Sure, that’s fine.”

Ye Bingtong looked at him with a slight suspicion.

“But without me, where could you possibly go?” Pei Yue said leisurely, “That Gu Cheng doesn’t seem to be giving you any more chances. Ye Bingtong, who else can be seduced by your tears and weakness?”

Ye Bingtong’s face became stiff, “That’s none of your business.”

“Then you can leave right now.” Pei Yue stepped aside, “You can try and see what kind of life you can lead on your own.”

Ye Bingtong hesitated for a moment.

She had already regretted it but still didn’t dare to make things clear with Pei Yue.

Wasn’t it because she was afraid?

Afraid that she couldn’t survive on her own.

Afraid that her life would be even worse than it is now.

At her core,

she was still somewhat dependant on Pei Yue, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Ye Bingtong didn’t move. Pei Yue laughed and spoke unapologetically, “Ye Bingtong, just admit it. You may be ruthless enough, but your intelligence is quite limited. Without me, you simply can’t survive on your own.”

Ye Bingtong grew somewhat enraged, “So what? Are you here to humiliate me now?”

“Humiliate you? No,” Pei Yue said softly, “I’ve just found a way that could help both of us escape our current predicament.”

Ye Bingtong was taken aback.

Pei Yue continued, “Don’t you want to enter the entertainment industry, to become a big star, to prove that even without the Ye Family you can still shine, to crush Ye Xiao beneath your feet?”

Ye Bingtong’s breath became heavier, “Can you help me achieve that?”

Pei Yue said expressionlessly, “Ye Xiao is the daughter of the Ye Family, to her, the entertainment industry is just a game. She can easily have everything. But you, Ye Bingtong, should realize the blood that runs through you is utterly despicable. People like you can indeed enter the entertainment industry, but you need to abandon everything and claw your way to the top by any means necessary. Do you understand?”

Ye Bingtong bit her teeth.

She was somewhat angry at Pei Yue’s remarks about her having despicable blood.

But she still asked, “What’s your plan?”

“Your best weapon right now,” Pei Yue laughed lightly, “isn’t it your own body? You were once the precious daughter of the Ye Family, with fine education, even praised by a maestro for your piano skills. These are the things that set you apart. There will always be people interested in someone like you.”

Ye Bingtong heard something in his words, a flash of fear crossed her eyes.

Pei Yue’s meaning…

Was he suggesting that she sell her body?

He… He was her boyfriend, wasn’t he?

“I’ve recently met a few wealthy women who have some connections in the entertainment industry. I can have them help you get started; the rest is up to your performance. If you do well, you might get your hands on some resources. If not… then you’ll spend your life under Ye Xiao’s feet,” Pei Yue’s eyes were cold, “If you’ve decided, let me know. I’ll be your manager. Believe me, I can help you climb to a higher place.”

Pei Yue’s face was indifferent.

In the past,

He never thought of using Ye Bingtong as a tool.

He genuinely wanted to live a good life with Ye Bingtong.

He had also rejected the advances of many wealthy women, wishing to rely only on himself to improve their lives.

But what about Ye Bingtong?

She didn’t seem to be worth such effort.

Since that was the case,

he might as well totally abandon his principles.

In this world,

it’s often those who abandon their principles who live better.

Isn’t it?

The room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while,

Ye Bingtong said somberly, “Fine. As long as I can become a big star, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Her eyes carried a trace of despair.

She had no other paths to follow.

The Ye Family had driven her out, and Gu Cheng would not want her.

Even Pei Yue, his gaze on her no longer contained the cherish of the past.

If that was so,

she would fight for herself.

As long as she could stand high again, she would pay any price.

“The right choice.” Pei Yue smiled, “I’ll take you to meet someone tomorrow.”

Ye Xiao looked at the bizarre plot unfolding before her, completely dumbfounded.

Oh, dear Lord.

She hadn’t done anything, had she?

Had the domineering boss Pei Yue suddenly decided to walk down the path of pimping?

Ye Bingtong had also embarked on a path of self-degradation.

This, this, this…

Ye Xiao felt she was actually quite awesome.

La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan had turned against each other, with La Jingzhou becoming a law-abiding citizen about to go to jail.

Here with Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong, the two went straight from a romantic relationship to some strange business partnership.

Once this step is taken.

Even if they both become successful in the future, Ye Xiao didn’t think they would still be able to laugh and joke around.

How this pair would end up was still unknown, but indeed, their relationship had already been ruined.

However.

At the end of the day, it was also Ye Bingtong’s own choice.

Ye Xiao couldn’t understand it and was greatly shocked, but still, she wished her success.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Ye Xiao sighed for a while before she contentedly prepared to go to sleep.

Suddenly.

Her phone lit up.

Ye Xiao glanced at it.

It was from Gu Yan.

Just two simple words: “Good night.”

Ye Xiao happened to see it, so she casually replied with a “Good night” back.

Then.

She watched the chat box displaying “typing…”

Ye Xiao figured Gu Yan might have something else to say.

So she waited.

However.

A minute passed by.

Two minutes passed by.

Three minutes passed by.

The chat box kept showing “typing…”

Ye Xiao: “???”

This Gu Yan, struggling with a sentence more than those few books?

As Ye Xiao grew so tired that she started to yawn,

Gu Yan’s second message finally came: “Sweet dreams.”

Ye Xiao stared at those two words.

So.

Just these two words.

He agonized over this for so long????

Can he not type the word ‘good’, or is it the word ‘dreams’ he can’t type!

Ye Xiao felt somewhat helpless and simply put her phone aside.

At the Gu Family.

Gu Yan looked utterly dejected.

He typed and deleted, deleted and typed, and at last, he only dared to send those two words.

Gu Yan, oh Gu Yan, you really are too timid.

After a self-deprecating thought.

Gu Yan picked up a book next to him.

“One Hundred Skills for Communicating with Women.”

Gu Yan silently encouraged himself.

“Gu Yan! You can do this! You’re great! You have strong learning abilities! One day, you’ll be able to send a very long message!”

Under the light, Gu Yan started studying seriously, even taking out a notebook to diligently take down the key points.
