One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 52: Chapter 29 Making a Scene

Translator: 549690339

Although Professor Yan felt somewhat helpless regarding Ye Xiao, she wasn’t someone to let personal feelings affect her professionalism. When speaking in class, she still had words of praise for Ye Xiao. She did, however, subtly hint that one must be humble and eager to learn to go further.

Ye Xiao nodded continuously as if she really took it to heart.

But Professor Yan felt an itch in her teeth.

She could guarantee that Ye Xiao hadn’t taken in a single word!

She didn’t understand.

How had someone with Ye Xiao’s flamboyant personality managed to keep such a low profile before?

Was there something forcing her to stay under the radar?

If there had been any recent change in Ye Xiao’s life,

Professor Yan thought, it could only be the matter of the true and false heiresses.

Previously, Ye Xiao seemed to have lived a tough life, always working odd jobs outside. Back then, she probably struggled just to get enough to eat, let alone being high-profile.

Now that she had returned to the Ye Family and found her biological parents, she no longer faced the pressures of survival and thus no longer needed to hide.

Many thoughts passed through Professor Yan’s mind, and as she looked at Ye Xiao, her eyes suddenly softened.

This child really hadn’t had it easy.

But then again.

As a teacher, if she could properly temper Ye Xiao’s character, with her talent, as long as she put her heart into studying, she definitely had potential.

Professor Yan recalled a friend who was desperately searching for a new face to play the lead female role in her production; her friend wanted fresh talent, but also had extremely high standards for acting ability. How many people could meet both criteria?

Finding someone to fit her friend’s ideal was incredibly hard.

But now, Ye Xiao gave Professor Yan a glimmer of hope.

With some proper coaching, this child might indeed be able to play that role.

All these thoughts crossed Professor Yan’s mind, but she kept them to herself.

She would wait until she had further honed Ye Xiao’s skills before deciding whether to recommend her to her friend.

After finishing the class, Professor Yan left the room.

But the impact of this lesson was far from over.

The classmates’ perceptions of Ye Xiao had completely changed.

Who would have thought?

That the once low-key Ye Xiao actually had such talent!

They all saw it very clearly, even Professor Yan had been left astounded.

“Xiaoxiao, with such great acting skills, why have you never shown them before?” someone couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Ye Xiao had been waiting for someone to ask. She glanced at Ye Bingtong and snorted coldly, “Ye Bingtong has always been targeting me. How could I have dared to show off before!”

This Ye Bingtong, didn’t she want to see her make a fool of herself?

Well then, bring it on!

Her being the supporting character, she had nothing to lose now.

“What are you talking about, Xiaoxiao?!” Ye Bingtong was getting anxious.

Ye Xiao really dared to say anything out loud.

Was she going to repeat all those things she had said last night at the Ye Family’s house?

“Did I say anything wrong?” Ye Xiao slammed the table, “Your so-called best friend made it very clear. You’ve known for a long time that you weren’t the daughter of the Ye Family! But, you altered the medical test results just to stay with the Ye Family! During those three years, whenever you had nothing better to do, you’d come flaunt yourself in front of me; sometimes being all friendly with me, sometimes trying to give me all sorts of things. I didn’t appreciate it, and your lackeys and bootlickers acted like they were going to bite me if I refused!”

“I now seriously suspect that you’ve been targeting me on purpose back then! Did you already know that I am the true blood of the Ye Family and was afraid that someday I would return to the Ye Family? That’s why you tormented me relentlessly!”

Ye Xiao spoke with sharp words.

The crowd listened and began to recall the past three years.

It seemed…

It was just as Ye Xiao had said.

For some unknown reason, Ye Bingtong was particularly attentive to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao repeatedly refused, saying she didn’t need Ye Bingtong’s help, but Ye Bingtong persisted.

At the time, they had all whispered among themselves that Ye Bingtong was too nice and that Ye Xiao was unappreciative.

Now that Ye Xiao had spoken up.

Ye Bingtong had known all along that she was not the biological daughter of the Ye Family and had even altered the medical exam results.

Her targeting of Ye Xiao then took on a whole new light.

Could it be…

She’d known early on that Ye Xiao was the true heiress?

This was going too far!

Despite knowing that she was the real heiress, the Ye Family had raised her in secrecy for so many years, even stirring others to attack Ye Xiao.

They evidently had no intention of leaving a way out for Ye Xiao.

Ye Bingtong felt overwhelmed by the suspicious looks from everyone.

She had indeed altered the medical report, but… she honestly hadn’t known that Ye Xiao was the real heiress!

If she had known earlier, how could she have let the Ye Family discover Ye Xiao?

“No, I didn’t,” Ye Bingtong defended herself helplessly.

She looked at everyone eagerly, hoping for some recognition.

But.

All she saw was doubt and contempt.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but bite her lower lip tightly.

How could this… happen…

She was Ye Bingtong, the belle of the Ye Family, the beauty of the school. When had she ever been looked at with such eyes?

The one who should have been scorned and dismissed was supposed to be Ye Xiao!

But why.

In just a few short days, everything had changed.

The affection of the Ye Family, the envy of her classmates, the fondness of her teachers—her everything, seemed to be gradually stolen by Ye Xiao, piece by piece.

And her Pei Yue!

She didn’t even know what was happening with him now.

And herself?

She was even forced not to contact him.

Why, why treat her like this?

In Ye Bingtong’s eyes as she looked at Ye Xiao, a hint of uncontrollable hatred emerged, and she screamed at the top of her voice, “Ye Xiao, you slander me!”

Ye Xiao scoffed coldly, not the least bit intimidated, “Oh? Weren’t you the one who knew early on that you were not the Ye Family’s biological child, weren’t you the one who altered the check-up form? Your best friend spelled it out very clearly!”

“Xiaoxiao, what best friend are you talking about?” someone curiously asked.

Ye Xiao was only too happy to enlighten them. She quickly said, “Haven’t you seen the news? It’s Chen Yueyue! My elder brother’s ex-fiancée!”

Once Ye Xiao mentioned this, everyone immediately recalled it.

After all, last night’s press conference was truly sensational!

However, the shocking news about Chen Yueyue and Qin Mobei overshadowed another person’s story.

And that was Ye Bingtong!

In that recording, Ye Bingtong fully supported Chen Yueyue’s true love, even advising her to marry her elder brother while pregnant!

If it weren’t for Qin Mobei’s dramatic entrance that shifted everyone’s attention, Ye Bingtong would’ve certainly been a hot topic of discussion too!

A sister eager to cuckold her brother was indeed unheard of.

That at least proved one thing.

Ye Bingtong’s values were much in line with those of Chen Yueyue; both were equally keen on pursuing something they called true love.

People glanced at Ye Bingtong, whispering among themselves.

Without listening, Ye Bingtong knew exactly what they were saying.

“I didn’t, it’s not like that,” Ye Bingtong argued weakly.

But those words had come from her own mouth.

What could she explain?

That was the reality.

In fact.

Ye Bingtong never thought there was anything wrong with them pursuing true love!

It’s just that these vulgar mortals couldn’t comprehend what true love was!

But Ye Bingtong also knew that her realm was destined to be misunderstood by mortals; she could only sit down powerlessly.

She harbored bitterness in her heart.

Just wait!

If they dared bully her like this, it was merely because she wasn’t the Ye Family’s biological daughter.

She would definitely carve her own path relying on herself!

And then, these people would still kneel before her, flattering her!
