Chapter 16: Apologizing to Pei Yue

Translator: 549690339

Ye Xiao didn’t want to deal with Ye Bingtong, so she found a seat far away from her.

However, just as she was about to sit down,

Ye Bingtong suddenly stood up.

She wore a brave and fearless expression, “Xiaoxiao, don’t you think you owe Pei Yue an apology?”

Ye Xiao was taken aback.

What the heck?

She didn’t want to deal with a moron, so why did the moron come knocking on her door?

Ye Xiao pointed at her own nose, then at Pei Yue; “Me? Owe him an apology? What dream are you talking about?”

Ye Bingtong did not share this view, she said seriously, “Yesterday, I fell on my own and cut my head. Classmate Pei Yue happened to see and took me to the infirmary. You, however, were influenced by some stereotypes, slandering classmate Pei Yue, causing him to be taken away by the police. Ye Xiao, don’t you think you should apologize?”

Ye Bingtong spoke with righteous indignation.

The classmates were slightly startled.

Huh?

Was it not Pei Yue who hurt Ye Bingtong, but rather Pei Yue who saved her?

Then, what Ye Xiao and the Ye Family did was indeed a bit excessive!

Pei Yue lifted his chin, looking disdainful to explain.

Seeing this, everyone began to feel a bit embarrassed. So the truth was this, hadn’t they wronged Pei Yue yesterday?

Ye Xiao was so angry she laughed!

Fury building up inside her, she fiercely slapped the table and stood up.

“Ye Bingtong! Whether you got hurt or not, and whether it has anything to do with that Pei Yue. What’s that to me?” Ye Xiao said coldly, “What did I say throughout all of yesterday?! If someone was sent to the police station, it was Gu Cheng who sent him there, why are you yelling at me!”

Ye Bingtong stiffened her neck, “What Gu Cheng did was wrong! That’s why I’ve already broken off the engagement with him! I can’t tolerate my fiancé being such an unreasonable person. But you, do you dare say you didn’t fan the flames?”

Ye Xiao sneered, “What business of mine are you, that I would bother to fan the flames? If you want to protect that little thug, then protect him by yourself, don’t think you can drag others down to be cheap with you!”

“Ye Xiao!” Ye Bingtong exclaimed in shock, “How can you say such things! I, I am really too disappointed in you! Classmate Pei was unjustly imprisoned, and all it would take is one word of apology from you, is that so hard?”

Ye Xiao spoke with an expressionless face, “First, if the police took him away, there must be some kind of evidence. Second, this incident has nothing at all to do with me. Third, you’re so low as to eagerly please Pei Yue, I’m not that cheap!”

Ye Bingtong’s face turned red with anger, “The police took Pei Yue away precisely because of the things you shouldn’t have said in front of mom and dad, leading mom and dad to pressure the police station! You are encouraging mom and dad to misuse their power like that, and I, I can’t just stand by and watch it happen!”

Ye Xiao was stunned.

Does Ye Bingtong have a lump on her brain?

First, she insisted that I apologize to Pei Yue.

Now, she’s openly accusing the Ye Family of using unfair methods to detain Pei Yue?

Is she not going to rest until she’s brought down the Ye Family!

Ye Bingtong didn’t think she was doing anything wrong, she said earnestly, “Now, classmate Pei Yue is magnanimous and willing to forgive you as long as you apologize! What a broad-mindedness that is!”

Everyone turned their gazes toward Pei Yue.

So that was the true story.

The Ye Family, wielding their power to make the police detain Pei Yue, did seem a bit too much.

Pei Yue did seem a bit pitiful.

Ye Xiao’s expression grew downright cold.

She was about to say something.

Suddenly.

Her phone chimed.

Someone had sent her an email.

Ye Xiao clicked to view, and in the email, there was surprisingly a video attachment.

Huh?

This video…

Ye Xiao hurriedly watched the video, and immediately laughed out loud.

She could pretty much guess where this video came from.

Gu Cheng’s sudden change of attitude toward Ye Bingtong and the swift action of the police all proved that there must be some irrefutable evidence regarding this incident.

And now,

Here comes the proof.

Ye Xiao looked at Ye Bingtong with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Bingtong, are you sure. You hurt yourself? Are you sure all of this, has nothing to do with Pei Yue?”

Ye Bingtong declared decisively, “Of course.”

“Alright,” Ye Xiao smiled and raised her eyebrows, “In that case, I’m afraid everyone will just have to bear with it and get a little ‘spicy’ for their eyes with me.”

Hmm?

What does this mean?

Ye Bingtong had not yet reacted.

Suddenly.

Everyone’s phones began to chime one after another!

Ye Xiao, directly in the class group chat, posted a video!

Seeing Ye Xiao’s expression, Ye Bingtong suddenly had an ominous premonition!

She quickly clicked on the class group chat.

The moment she saw the video, her pupils shrank violently, and her complexion changed instantly.

This scene…

Could it be…

No, impossible!

At that time, it was only her and Pei Yue present; there was no one else!

“Damn it!”

Some quick-handed people had already started to play the video.

Instantly, the class burst into a cacophony of shocked voices.

Ye Bingtong was somewhat afraid to look, but she gritted her teeth and still shakily clicked on it.

“… Acting indifferent towards me in public, but quite passionate behind closed doors, hmm? Little vixen?”

Those provocative words “little vixen,” combined with Pei Yue’s wicked smile.

Ye Bingtong almost fainted.

In private, this was intimate.

But being subjected to public judgment by so many people, wasn’t this tantamount to killing her?

In the video, Ye Bingtong and Pei Yue were intimately entwined, inseparable, full of longing.

The looks from everyone directed at Ye Bingtong all changed.

Tsk.

If going by what Ye Bingtong had said, she just broke off her engagement with her fiancé, right?

So what was this?

Cheating?

Infidelity?

Such a pure and noble goddess indeed!

Ye Bingtong felt like she was going insane. She stood still, her shoulders trembling slightly, feeling as though she was falling apart.

Seeing her like this, Pei Yue suddenly felt a surge of heartache.

He stood up somewhat agitatedly and swung his hand, knocking a classmate’s phone away.

He roared, “What are you looking at! What’s there to see! Everyone, close your eyes now!”

Pei Yue, out of his mind, rushed to knock everyone’s phone out of their hands.

Ye Bingtong looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Indeed, only Pei Yue would protect her like this.

“You say not to watch, and we won’t watch? The most exciting part is yet to come!” Ye Xiao sneered, “If we don’t let everyone see it clearly, how will the Ye Family’s grievances ever be washed away?”

“Come on, come on, Classmate Pei, you can continue to smash the phones! If the phones break, it’ll be a good reason for everyone to get new ones. But this video will keep existing in the group chat.”

The classmate whose phone Pei Yue knocked away said, “Yeah, I’ve been wanting to change my phone anyway! Thank you in advance, Classmate Pei.”

“I’m just afraid this Classmate Pei won’t be able to compensate.”

“What’s there to fear? Isn’t he involved with our goddess Bingtong? If he can’t compensate, just go to Ye Bingtong.”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with mockery.

The image of Ye Bingtong, the goddess that she had painstakingly maintained, collapsed in an instant.

And yet, the most thrilling part was only just beginning.

In the video, Pei Yue grabbed Ye Bingtong and suddenly, with force, threw her against the wall.

What followed was Pei Yue’s panicked shouting.

Everyone knew what happened next.

“Ye Bingtong, this is why the police took Pei Yue away. Now do you understand?” Ye Xiao looked at Ye Bingtong, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.
