Chapter 65: Chapter 42 Truth

Translator: 549690339

Ye Bingtong’s voice suddenly became sharp, “Ye Xiao! What are you doing here!”

Her voice again agitated Chen Yu, and the child who had finally calmed down began to struggle desperately again.

Ye Xiao exerted all her strength, clutching the child tightly and then looked disdainfully at Ye Bingtong.

“Could you please keep your voice down? Don’t you see the child is not doing well? Are you blind or is there a hole in your brain that you have to keep scaring him?”

Ye Bingtong’s mind went blank, and her heart was filled with panic.

Damn it.

When did Ye Xiao come.

How long had she been there.

The plotting she had done with Bai Shilan, how much had Ye Xiao seen?

If she saw it all.

Then…

Then wouldn’t she be finished?

“Ye Xiao?” Bai Shilan was also somewhat surprised.

She had been so worried about Ye Bingtong that she only now noticed Ye Xiao, who had suddenly appeared.

Is this the true heiress of the Ye Family?

Just because Bai Shilan wanted to follow the path of Ye Bingtong did not mean she wanted to offend Ye Xiao.

After all, she was the true blood of the Ye Family, and it was said that the Ye Family doted on her dearly.

Although Ye Lin had not met this sister yet, the blood relation meant he would still care for her to some extent.

Bai Shilan’s thoughts were fluctuating.

Then she heard Ye Bingtong suggestively say, “Xiaoxiao, how long have you been here? Have you been watching us all along?”

Bai Shilan’s pupils contracted, her heart suddenly sinking.

The recent events.

Had Ye Xiao… seen it all?

If Ye Xiao said anything out of line, wouldn’t her image of the innocent maiden be completely ruined?

Bai Shilan immediately grasped the meaning of Ye Bingtong’s words.

The two of them were now in the same boat!

Even if Ye Xiao was the precious daughter of the Ye Family, Ye Lin’s own sister, no one could ruin her reputation!

Anxiously, Bai Shilan’s mind spun.

Ye Xiao glanced at the two of them and could not help but sneer.

Feeling guilty, now they knew fear.

Ye Xiao looked at the plot.

The storyline had completely changed.

There were only a few words left on the blank page, “Currently typing.”

“Currently typing.”

That meant she could play it by ear.

After all, the key part of the plot had passed, and all she needed to do was continue to make life difficult for the protagonist, according to the antagonist’s character set.

Wasn’t this what she was best at?

Ye Xiao sneered and said, “I actually just got here, just in time to see this child about to fall into the lake. The angle at which he fell looked as if someone had pushed him, causing him to lose his balance. Ye Bingtong, you were standing right behind the child. Surely it wasn’t you who pushed him!”

As Ye Xiao spoke, the nanny also couldn’t help but look dubiously at Ye Bingtong.

Ye Bingtong’s face turned pale as she repeatedly protested her innocence, “Xiaoxiao, I know you have a big misunderstanding about me. But you can’t just say anything about such a serious matter. I was just showing Xiaoyu an insect, everything that followed was an accident!”

Bai Shilan nodded in agreement, “Exactly. If Bingtong did it on purpose, then why would she jump into the water to save him?”

“I’m telling the truth, and if you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiaoyu,” Ye Bingtong concluded at last.

Ask Xiaoyu?

She must know that Chen Yu cannot speak.

Ye Xiao glanced at Chen Yu, whom she was holding tightly.

The child had settled down again, but his pupils were pitch black without focus, like a lifeless doll.

He indeed knew all the plots.

But this child was clearly immersed in his own world, and it was absolutely impossible for him to speak up.

Ye Bingtong, seeing this, also let out a slight sigh of relief.

As long as Chen Yu didn’t speak up, without direct evidence, no one could prove that it was her deliberate planning.

Ye Bingtong then looked at Chen Yu with a gentle face, “Xiaoyu, I’m glad you’re alright. Don’t worry about your sister, I just caught a cold, nothing serious.”

With that, Ye Bingtong coughed appropriately.

Bai Shilan hurried to cooperate, “Bingtong, look at you, as soon as you thought Xiaoyu might be in danger, you didn’t even care about your own safety. How can you be so silly!”

Ye Bingtong, pale-faced, said gently, “I’m fine no matter what, as long as Xiaoyu is okay.”

“Bingtong,” Bai Shilan said, tears brimming, seemingly deeply moved.

The two of them were playing their parts in concert.

“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!” Li Mingyu had already rushed over, stumbling.

She saw Ye Xiao and was a bit surprised, but she had no time for more, rushing toward Chen Yu.

Ye Xiao stepped aside, and Li Mingyu tightly embraced Chen Yu.

“What on earth happened!” Li Mingyu asked sharply while still frightened.

The nanny looked hesitant.

She, after all, felt a bit guilty and didn’t know what to say at the moment.

But Bai Shilan was already eagerly saying, “Director Li, Xiaoyu nearly fell into the water, and it was Bingtong who pulled him up and then fell in herself. Bingtong is still shivering from the cold.”

Ye Bingtong showed a fragile yet strong expression, “As long as the child is fine.”

Li Mingyu paused and couldn’t help asking the nanny, “Is that so?”

The nanny was also conflicted.

Was it Ye Bingtong who pulled Xiaoyu up?

She hadn’t seen clearly.

The nanny couldn’t help but say, “I had just gone to get Xiaoyu’s coat, and when I came back, I saw Xiaoyu fallen on the ground. As for anything else, I didn’t see anything. This young lady, though, arrived a bit before I did, so she might have seen something.”

The nanny pointed at Ye Xiao.

Li Mingyu also looked over.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and said directly, “I saw it, it looked like Ye Bingtong gave Xiaoyu a push.”

Ye Bingtong immediately showed a wronged expression, “Xiaoxiao, I’ve already said that I won’t fight with you for Mom and Dad’s love. Why, after you came back, have you been targeting me? Other things are fine, but such a small child, how could I… How could I push him? It really breaks my heart that you would say that.”

Bai Shilan jumped to the accusation, “I was there at the time. Are you saying I want to harm Xiaoyu too? What benefit would that bring me? Even if you really have a grudge against Bingtong, you don’t have to slander her like this.”

“Director Li, I really didn’t do it,” Ye Bingtong said, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Li Mingyu.

Bai Shilan was also desperately testifying on behalf of Ye Bingtong, trying to prove she was a pure and kind person who couldn’t possibly commit such a deed.

Li Mingyu furrowed her brows and fell into thought, indecisive in that moment.

Ye Xiao wasn’t in a hurry.

The script was already beginning to reveal the plot line by line.

She first wanted to see what the plot was.

She still had a two-word quota left, trying to see where to make a change that could compel Ye Bingtong to tell the truth.

The system was really too stingy.

All that was needed was to add the word “truth” to make it “speak the truth” in order to learn the real facts.

But the system probably thought that was too much of a shortcut and specifically made such modifications require a ten-word quota.

She didn’t have that many words to spare right now.

Watching the plot unfold.

Ye Xiao picked her eyebrow.

Perhaps just a one-word alteration.

Would be enough to kill two birds with one stone.

First, she would give it a try.

If it didn’t work, there were other places to edit.
