Chapter 69 - 46 Wonderful, just wonderful

Translator: 549690339

Ye Bingtong, in a few words, shifted all the blame onto Bai Shilan.

Bai Shilan couldn’t help but look at her with some disbelief.

Who had she come up with this idea for?

Wasn’t it for Ye Bingtong’s sake?!

Bai Shilan’s voice suddenly rose, “Ye Bingtong! Do you still have a conscience? If it wasn’t for your poor acting, directly eliminated during the audition, would I have come up with such a method? If you really didn’t want to do it, you should have rejected it right there! I saw you were quite tempted.”

Ye Bingtong stood her ground, “When did you see me being tempted? I’ve always been resistant! Bai Shilan, that’s just a child, how could you come up with such a malicious plan. I really misjudged you.”

With that, Ye Bingtong deliberately moved a little further away from her to demonstrate her determination.

Bai Shilan trembled with anger!

She was really going insane.

It was one thing for Ye Bingtong not to appreciate the gesture, but now she was playing the victim?

Since following La Jingzhou, Bai Shilan had never been treated with such indignity!

She let out a shriek and suddenly charged at Ye Bingtong, scratching at her face.

“Bai Shilan, this is you being furious out of embarrassment!” Ye Bingtong wouldn’t give in either and fought back on the spot.

Pulling hair, scratching faces, kicking stomachs, rolling on the ground, hugging each other in a tumble.

The two instantly became entangled in a brawl.

Li Mingyu originally wanted to say some harsh words.

Seeing this scene, she fell silent.

Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered to scold them now.

As for Bai Shilan, there would be no further collaboration in the future.

With Ye Bingtong, she would certainly have a serious talk with her good friend, as well as with the school principal about her character issue.

It’s best if such a person doesn’t enter the circle to mislead her fans!

“Ye Xiao…” Li Mingyu turned her head wanting to once again express her gratitude to Ye Xiao.

Then, she saw Ye Xiao watching the two on the ground wrestling with an excited face.

In her eyes, there was nothing but the glow of an onlooker, following the fight without even willing to blink.

Chen Yu, who normally didn’t care about anything around him, was also following Ye Xiao’s gaze.

Getting excited, Ye Xiao couldn’t help but swing her little fists: “That’s right, Bai Shilan, just like that, grab her hair with one hand and aim for the chest with the other! Yes, I believe in you!”

“Ye Bingtong, what’s going on with you! Fight back! Do fight back! Don’t let me look down on you!”

“Good, Ye Bingtong might not be as strong as Bai Shilan, but she has the advantage in agility, she managed to break free from Bai Shilan’s hold and has launched a counterattack! Exciting, this is so exciting!”

Ye Xiao spoke animatedly, and Chen Yu listened with great focus, his expression even showing traces of enjoyment.

A soft light flickered in the depths of Li Mingyu’s eyes.

Since that car accident, this was the first time she had seen a smile-like expression on Chen Yu’s face.

Though watching a fight… didn’t seem like a proper hobby.

But as long as Xiaoyu liked it, then nothing else mattered.

Li Mingyu could also tell.

Ye Xiao was deliberately amusing the child.

Otherwise.

What grown-up would be so bored?

She was willing to accept Ye Xiao’s kindness.

That’s what Li Mingyu was thinking.

Just then, she heard Ye Xiao’s applause, with genuine enthusiasm she said, “Exciting, so exciting! To watch such a great show for free! I’m way too lucky.”

Ye Xiao was so moved she almost cried.

She felt like she had struck a huge bargain.

Li Mingyu: “…”

Alright, it seems she had misunderstood something.

Ye Xiao just loved being part of the action.

Bai Shilan and Ye Bingtong, having fought for a while, were obviously out of energy.

Clutching at each other’s hair, they glared at each other with hatred but were too exhausted to move.

“Had your fill?” Li Mingyu asked Ye Xiao with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Ye Xiao, still wanting more, reluctantly nodded, “I guess that’ll do.”

These two just weren’t up to scratch in terms of stamina.

Otherwise.

Such a great spectacle, she could watch for another day without getting bored!

“Let’s leave them. Come with me,” Li Mingyu said.

Ye Xiao nodded.

Chen Yu hurriedly clenched her hand tightly.

Ye Xiao looked down at the little bean, smiling as she clasped his hand in return.

Chen Yu immediately curved his lips into a slight smile, revealing a few adorable little tiger teeth.

Li Mingyu watched, feeling even more reassured in her heart.

“Ye Xiao,” said Li Mingyu as she walked, “would you be willing to come to my movie?”

Ye Xiao didn’t beat around the bush and directly replied, “Of course.”

A smile appeared on Li Mingyu’s face, “Good. Once I’ve dealt with some things, I’ll come to sign the contract with you.”

Ye Xiao knew that the matters Li Mingyu had to deal with were mostly related to La Jingzhou.

Due to system constraints, Ye Xiao couldn’t say much about this.

But she was scheming inside.

Actually,

The Xingguang Film and Television managed by her eldest brother was also slowly gaining influence in the entertainment circle.

Although it still couldn’t compare with the La Family’s power in the entertainment industry,

it wasn’t impossible to compete.

The reason La Jingzhou was difficult to deal with was because the Liu Family unconditionally stood by his side.

If she could win over the Liu Family…

La Jingzhou hadn’t swallowed up the Liu Family yet and was far from having the dominating influence he had later on!

As long as his path to ascent was cut off in advance,

Bai Shilan would naturally be without a backer.

When La Jingzhou truly fell from power, we’d see if she really liked that freedom.

In the book about Bai Shilan, there were also many plots involving her second brother.

Right now, there was no budding romance between her second brother and Bai Shilan; it was all just one-sided enthusiasm from Bai Shilan.

Once he left the crew, Ye Xiao thought, she must find a way to prevent her second brother from developing any possible feelings for Bai Shilan.

Although she had not yet met this mysterious movie star second brother, Ye Xiao knew one thing.

She was now a Ye Family member, and only by resolving these hidden dangers among the Ye Family members could she change her own fate by association.

It wasn’t that she had deep feelings for the Ye Family members.

It was purely out of self-preservation.

“About Bingtong’s matter,” Li Mingyu paused, then added, “Do you want me to speak to your family about it?”

Li Mingyu had already heard the gist of the matter between Ye Xiao and Bingtong from Professor Yan.

Top-tier wealthy families, true and false heiresses—the news was bound to attract attention.

Moreover,

Ye Xiao and Bingtong were openly at odds, always at each other’s throats whenever they met.

With her heart now favoring Ye Xiao, Li Mingyu naturally worried whether Ye Xiao would be bullied in the Ye Family. If the Ye Family knew Bingtong’s true nature, they might wake up a bit and pay more attention to Ye Xiao.

“Thank you, Director Li, but there’s no need,” Ye Xiao chuckled, “I can handle it myself.”

Li Mingyu listened, nodded, and pressed the matter no further.

After all, it was the family’s internal affair.

After chatting with Ye Xiao for a while, Li Mingyu prepared to leave with Chen Yu.

But no matter how many times she called, Chen Yu simply stood by Ye Xiao’s side, not moving an inch.

When she reached out to pull him, the child even dodged away with a resisting look on his face.

Li Mingyu said somewhat helplessly, “Xiaoyu, Sister Ye Xiao has other things to do, you can’t stay with her all the time.”

Can’t stay with sister all the time?

Chen Yu’s eyes immediately reddened, and he looked up at Ye Xiao with an exceedingly aggrieved expression.

Only by staying by sister’s side did he feel secure.

This expression on Chen Yu made Ye Xiao somewhat unable to bear it.

She couldn’t help but say, “Director Li, I don’t have class this afternoon. I can take Xiaoyu for the time being. You must still be busy with the auditions, right? How about I take Xiaoyu to visit the Ye Family first, and you can pick him up after you finish?”

Ye Xiao had her own calculations.

She couldn’t interfere with the plot, but if Director Li visited the Ye Family, wouldn’t she meet her eldest brother? Then whatever they discussed wouldn’t be her problem.

“This…” Li Mingyu was a bit worried about troubling Ye Xiao, but seeing Xiaoyu’s pitiful demeanor, she couldn’t bear it.

Li Mingyu could only say, “Then I’ll trouble you for now. I’ll come to pick him up later.”

Ye Xiao responded with a smile.

A small smile also spread across Chen Yu’s face.

He could stay with sister a little longer!
