âDad, Mom, and big brother. I⦠am leaving now.â
Ye Bingtongâs eyes were brimming with tears as she turned to leave.
Chen Yueyue couldnât help but grab her arm, and then she spoke up to tell the truth for Ye Bingtong.
âUncle, Aunt, and Bolin. Bingtong is so heartbroken, can you truly be so heartless? Are all these years of affection really so unimportant to you?â
In a softer voice, Chen Yueyue said, âHave you forgotten? When Bingtong was little, she was so adorable. Bolin, you used to brag to me about having such a cute little sister. Do you really not remember?â
Ye Bolin pursed his lips.
âAnd Uncle and Aunt, Bingtong is so well-behaved and lovely. Every time you took her out, wasnât she always admired by others? Do you still remember why she worked so hard to learn piano?â Chen Yueyue declared with an almost melodramatic fervor.
Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru fell slightly silent.
They couldnât help but recall Bingtongâs obedient and lovely demeanor from the past.
She started learning piano at six years old, always diligently working hard, and had always been the most worry-free child.
Bingtong had said the reason she worked so hard was that she wanted to make her parents proud.
How had things suddenly turned out this way?
Could they truly let go of their daughter so easily?
The Ye Family each reflected, while Bingtongâs eyes blurred with tears.
Chen Yueyue continued, âYou may not know this, but she started learning piano because of the Lin Familyâs daughter, who also played the piano! Bingtong told me that the girl was so ugly, yet just because she could play a bit of piano, everybody praised her. That was so unfair. So, she decided to learn piano too.â
The expression of the Ye Family members froze.
What?
Ye Bingtong learned piano because of the Lin Familyâs daughter?
Ye Bingtong herself was stunned, looking incredulously at Chen Yueyue.
Why was Chen Yueyue bringing this up all of a sudden? How could this help her return to the Ye family?
âYueyue sister, could you be mistaken?â Ye Bingtong hurriedly interjected.
Chen Yueyue herself didnât understand why she blurted out Bingtongâs little secret. Panicking, she couldnât help but continue to spill.
âHow could I possibly be wrong? That Lin Familyâs daughter, let me think, what was her name again? Lin Yun, right? When Bingtong was little, she was best friends with her. And why? Because she was ugly, and Bingtong felt she could highlight her own beauty!â
âYueyue sister!â Ye Bingtong felt she was going to lose it, reaching out to cover Chen Yueyueâs mouth.
Chen Yueyue, completely out of control, pushed Bingtongâs hand away and kept speaking: âIâm not lying! Bingtong learned piano to utterly outshine her. That Lin Yun was completely useless, not as pretty as Bingtong, nor as talented in piano. After being bested by Bingtong a few times, she actually became depressed. Hahaha, sheâs just too weak.â
Chen Yueyue seemed to find it genuinely amusing, her lips continuously curled in a pleased smile.
Everyone else, however, fell silent.
Lin Yun, they all knew her.
The Lin Familyâs younger daughter.
Originally, they lived next door, and Bingtong had a particularly good relationship with them. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Later the Lin Family moved abroad, all because Lin Yun suddenly became depressed and needed a change of environment for treatment.
But it turns out.
All of this was related to Ye Bingtong?
Ye Xiao was dumbfounded.
She only changed one character, and she didnât expect it would lead to such a speech!
This Lin Yun, like her, was also a supporting actress.
Later, after Lin Yun returned from abroad, she became a famous music composer and was targeting Ye Bingtong everywhere in the entertainment industry.
In the end, she was naturally branded as someone jealous of Ye Bingtongâs talent before being completely suppressed by the male and female leads. At last, on a solitary night unknown to anyone, Lin Yun slit her wrists and committed suicide.
That book would never reveal how its female lead drove a child into depression.
It would not tell of the many hardships Lin Yun had endured either.
But peeling away the surface, hidden behind the male and female leadsâ happy ending, how many tears and blood were shed by the supporting characters?
The original Ye Xiao was.
So was Lin Yun.
âYueyue sis, youâve gone mad, what are you talking about!â Ye Bingtongâs face went pale as she tried to stop Chen Yueyue.
But Chen Yueyue kept on speaking uncontrollably.
âAnd do you remember when we were young, Bingtong lost her favorite cat and cried for days?â Chen Yueyue said with a smile, âActually, Bingtong lost the cat herself, and it was my idea.â
âShe lost it herself?â Ye Mingcheng gritted his teeth, âWhy? We bought it because she liked it, didnât we?â
âDad, itâs not true, Yueyue sis must be possessed.â Ye Bingtong waved her hands in a panic, her eyes full of chaos.
âYes, it was what she liked. But liking something is only temporary, she soon grew bored of it, yet, she needed to maintain her facade of being kind and gentle. What to do then? Of course, the only option was to secretly get rid of the cat. To prevent you from finding the cat, she threw it very far away. Afterwards, she even cried for three days, that was part of putting on a show too,â Chen Yueyue continued with a laugh.
She and Ye Bingtong had a very close relationship, they almost talked about everything since they were young.
Some things Ye Bingtong wouldnât dare show in front of the Ye Family, but in front of her, there were no secrets.
âDonât think that Bingtong did anything wrong,â Chen Yueyue continued, âAfter all, she is not your biological daughter. Without using some means, how could she keep you loving her all the time?â
âNo, itâs not true.â This time, Ye Bingtong truly went mad. She rushed forward, trying to stop Chen Yueyue once more.
Ye Mingchengâs expression was as grim as water, âGo, restrain her! Let Chen Yueyue finish!â
Several servants immediately stepped forward and controlled Ye Bingtong.
Ye Bingtong couldnât move, she could only watch Chen Yueyue with a face of despair.
âBingtong is not my biological daughter, this we have also only known recently,â Ye Mingcheng said coldly, âWhat, she knew about it a long time ago?â
âThe first time she went for a physical examination, she discovered that her blood type was different from yours. She came to me in fear to talk about this, and it was I who helped her falsify the results and hide this secret,â Chen Yueyue glanced at Ye Xiao and said, âIt was also this time, somehow, a mistake was made!â
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Somehow?
That was, of course, the power of the plot.
Ye Xiao was still relatively calm.
The faces of several members of the Ye Family could not hold back any longer.
They thought.
Ye Bingtong had only been misled by that blond kid and made a few mistakes in the past few days.
But these incidents, one after another!
Ye Bingtongâs former obedience and cuteness turned out to be all an act.
âItâs not like that,â Ye Bingtong was desperately crying, âI donât know why Yueyue sis suddenly wants to slander me like this, but I didnât do these things, I only recently found out that I am not dad and momâs biological daughter!!â
âSlander?â Chen Yueyue was not convinced, âBingtong, thatâs not right of you. I have always been helping you cover up your lies. The night before last, you clearly went to a motel with Pei Yue, and didnât I cover for you too?â
