Chapter 216: 193: The Final Ending of Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong

Ye Xiao watched the plot unfold, where Pei Yue ultimately opted for self-confession, and couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

Those three from the Zhang Family really are something, to have driven Pei Yue to such an extent that he’d rather be imprisoned.

Such talent is indeed rare in this world.

And Pei Yue’s secret was also revealed by his own admission at the time of his surrender.

Pei Yue grew up with his father after his parents divorced. His father was a playboy who soon found a new woman outside, and that woman got pregnant, about to bear him a brother or sister.

This meant that the inheritance that should have been his might no longer belong to him.

At that time.

Seven-year-old Pei Yue made his first move. He pushed the woman into the river, and with that, two lives were lost. He remained the sole child of his father.

Later, when he was 18, his father seemed to suspect something and was secretly investigating.

Pei Yue took action once again.

His father, too, drowned after becoming intoxicated.

That way.

The father’s fortune finally fell completely into his hands.

These events were Pei Yue’s deepest secrets. However, when he corresponded with Ye Bingtong as pen pals, he subtly revealed some hints.

And it was this very matter that Ye Bingtong used to continually threaten him.

Three lives.

Even if it wasn’t the death penalty, his life was ruined.

But even if it was ruined, for Pei Yue, it was much better than facing Ye Bingtong and that family!

Pei Yue entered the prison almost eagerly.

His cellmate… was Luo Li.

Luo Li was stunned for a moment.

He had been resenting the fact that it was he who was imprisoned, while Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong were the instigators.

And now… Pei Yue had arrived so soon?

Ye Bingtong wouldn’t be coming next, would she!

Oh, she couldn’t.

She would have to go to a women’s prison.

Desperate to escape to prison, Pei Yue suddenly made the Zhangs feel that they had made a big loss, and they became increasingly displeased with Ye Bingtong.

They frequently abused her with beatings and assaults. As for Zhang Yaozu, with some money in his pocket and immersed in a flashy world, he inevitably became inflated with ego, picking up some bad habits he shouldn’t have.

The money given by Tong Simeng was quickly squandered away.

Zhang Yaozu then coerced his parents and Ye Bingtong to go out and earn money for him.

Li Cuihua and Zhang Feng, utterly indulgent towards their son, worked themselves to the bone somewhat merrily.

Once Ye Bingtong was released, she seized the opportunity to report that Zhang Yaozu had tampered with something he shouldn’t have.

Zhang Yaozu was also locked up.

Zhang Feng and Li Cuihua suddenly wailed and lamented; they beat Ye Bingtong viciously, almost killing her.

A neighbor, unable to watch any longer, called the police, and the couple was also detained.

However, under long-term torture, Ye Bingtong went mad.

On the streets of Luo City, there was now one more lunatic.

This lunatic would always grab people and say that she was the Ye Family’s young miss, the darling loved by everyone.

Ye Xiao flipped through the plot until reaching the final page of the book.

When arriving at the last paragraph.

The words on the page began to slowly fade away one by one.

In the end, the entire book completely vanished.

Ye Xiao felt that the constraints placed upon himself had suddenly lessened considerably.

The System’s voice finally rang out loud and clear.

“Ye Bingtong’s plot ending, destruction level one hundred percent. The main mission is one-quarter complete, please continue to work hard, host.”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but ponder.

Ye Xiao, the character, was the female lead in the book written by Ye Bingtong. However, now Ye Bingtong’s book had utterly collapsed, and it had already reached its conclusion. Yet, she could feel that the invisible shackles on her had only been partially removed; they hadn’t completely disappeared.

A quarter of the main mission was completed.

Could it be…

that not until all four books had come to their disastrous endings would the mission be considered entirely complete?

Only by that time.

The fates of Ye Xiao, along with everyone else, would truly change.

Two more months passed.

Ye Xiao’s movie had wrapped up.

Li Mingyu was in a great state, even somewhat excited.

She already had a very mature idea about the editing, and now she couldn’t wait to cut the final product.

Li Mingyu patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder, her expression brimming with satisfaction, “This time, I will make sure you become an overnight sensation.”

Ye Xiao wore a look of proud coquettishness, “Of course.”

She had already been wildly famous before.

Coming to this world was just about climbing the pinnacle once more.

She looked at the plots of the other books and estimated it would take a few more years to reach their ultimate conclusion. During these years, she planned to max out her career stats.

That way, when the real Ye Xiao returned, she could continue to mix in the entertainment industry if she liked, or she could announce her retirement. Either way, the money Ye Xiao would have by then would surely be enough for a lifetime.

On the day the film wrapped up, the Ye Family were all outside waiting for her.

They watched Ye Xiao eagerly, afraid she might refuse to come home with them.

Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment but did not refuse to go home.

She didn’t know what the original Ye Xiao would have chosen.

To forgive her family or to distance herself from them.

Therefore, she couldn’t completely commit to either path.

It wasn’t good to get too close to the Ye Family now, but there was also no need to be overly cold.

Everything would wait for Ye Xiao to come back; then she would make her own decisions.

Back at the Ye Family home.

The atmosphere was strangely tense.

The Ye Family seemed to want to say something but ended up saying nothing at all.

Ye Bolin tried to break the ice. He pulled out a wedding invitation and said, “Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue have set a date for their wedding. They’ve sent out invites as well; it’s tomorrow night.”

Ye Xiao already knew about this, but the following plot hadn’t been updated yet, so she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Big brother, are you planning to go?”

That Xiaoxiao was still willing to talk with them was a good sign!

Relieved, Ye Bolin hurriedly said, “Since we’re invited, naturally I plan to go. Not just go, in fact, I want to give them a big gift.”

A cold, cutting smile played upon Ye Bolin’s lips.

Although Ye Bolin hadn’t spelled it out for her, combining it with the plot, Ye Xiao could guess most of it.

She could only say that this gift might be too much for Qin Mobei to handle…

In the book.

In front of Qin Mobei, Ye Bolin was an utter loser.

Qin Mobei got Chen Yueyue and magically gained a genius son to boot, and Ye Bolin? No matter how he sought revenge or resisted, he would always be discovered one step ahead by the protagonist gang, and every time, it was like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

Even when Ye Bolin killed himself, the book lightly stated that his downfall was all his own doing and that Qin Mobei and his friends had been merciful.

According to the logic of this book.

Now.

Qin Mobei was on the losing side.

Whatever ending he and Chen Yueyue might meet with, it would, of course, be their own fault.

After all.

Ye Bolin had truly been merciful.

[Sobbing, Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue’s wedding! I really want to see it! But, I’m supposed to be this aloof persona now; I can’t be the one to bring it up. Ahhh!]
