One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos Chapter 153 – Chapter 153: Chapter 130 Not That Fragile

Chapter 153: Chapter 130 Not That Fragile

“There's still a chance, there's still a chance,” Ye Bingtong paced back and forth in the room non-stop.

Even if the entire world has given up on her, she will not give up on herself!

She is destined to stand on top of the world, and these difficulties are just temporary.

She will definitely come up with a plan.

Ye Bingtong suddenly remembered the threat she made to Ye Lin over the phone.

She threatened to kill herself.

Ye Lin seemed to be unmoved by her threat.

But it was only seemingly so.

What if… she really went through with it?

In Xia Country, there has always been a saying,

“Apart from life and death, nothing is a big deal.”

She doesn't believe the Ye family has truly lost all affection for her.

If she really came close to dying.

They would definitely feel remorseful, they would be sad, and it might even be like those novels she had read, kickstarting a “pursuit of the sister” funeral pyre!

By then, they would realize, they would discover just how important she is to them.

This matter required cooperation from someone.

Ye Bingtong thought for a moment and dialed Pei Yue's number directly.

Pei Yue did not pick up the phone for a long time.

Ye Bingtong was not in a hurry; her eyes shone with a strange light as she sent a message straight to Pei Yue.

“I remember you mentioned that you know a rich widow who owns a private hospital. Right now, I might have a way to turn the tables, but I need your cooperation.”

Ye Bingtong briefly described her fake suicide plan.

Pei Yue probably thought the method had some viability, for after a while, he replied with a message, “Okay, I'm almost done with my work. I will come back immediately.”

Ye Bingtong stared quietly at the screen for a while, and after a long time, a sinister smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

Pei Yue no longer loved her.

This point.

She had known it before.

If he still loved her, he wouldn't have pushed her towards other men.

But.

Ye Bingtong had no regrets.

Compared to the Ye family and the Gu family, what was Pei Yue?

He could never give her the life she dreamed of.

Everything she wanted, she had to fight for by herself.

She and Pei Yue, now, were merely collaborators.

As long as they could work together, she didn't care about Pei Yue's innermost thoughts.

And the same went for Luo Li.

The same principle applied.

As long as he could help her, they could continue their cooperation.

“Assistant Pei will be back soon, so maybe I should…” Luo Li said tentatively.

Ye Bingtong gave him a sinister glance, “You still have a task to complete.”

Luo Li became nervous, “What task?”

“Music has the power to evoke empathy,” Ye Bingtong raised an eyebrow, “Didn't you tell me that your talent is not one bit inferior to Lin Yun's? Then create a song for me, one that will make everyone who hears it feel sorry for me.”

Luo Li was stunned.

A song that makes everyone feel sorry for you?

How could he possibly create something that triggers such a level of empathy!

“Two days, I'm only giving you two days to come up with the song,” Ye Bingtong said.

“That's just…” Luo Li wanted to refuse.

Ye Bingtong's pupils were jet black as she stared at him, “If I can't turn the tables, then neither can you. Rest assured, before I descend to hell, I will definitely take you with me.”

Suddenly, the innocent little white flower transformed into a dark lotus; Luo Li couldn't help but feel a shiver of fear.

He couldn't help but concede, “I will think of something.”

“That would be for the best,” Ye Bingtong responded emotionlessly.

Late at night.

Ye Xiao frowned as she watched the storyline.

She had never imagined, even at this stage, that the heroine could still stir up trouble. Should she say that it was just like a cockroach that could not be killed?

In the following plot.

Pei Yue returned and then he and Ye Bingtong discussed a detailed fake suicide scene.

Pei Yue was in charge of contacting a rich woman who owned a private hospital. At that time, Ye Bingtong would stay in that hospital, and they would issue some fake diagnostic papers to create the illusion that Ye Bingtong's life was hanging by a thread. Under normal circumstances, no matter how rampant public opinion became, once something like this happened, the kind-hearted onlookers would choose to be silent. Those who were a bit soft-hearted might even reflect on whether they had been too harsh.

At that time, with just a slight guidance of public opinion, they could twist right and wrong, making it seem like the Ye Family was trying to kill her.

If this were the real world, such a plot would have many flaws and would quickly be seen through.

However, this was a tale within a book.

In order to protect its heroine, the book might just set up some sort of mandatory plot that softens people's hearts towards Ye Bingtong.

With the storyline having reached this point, they were originally only one step away from defeating Ye Bingtong.

If she managed to rise again from the ashes, even Ye Xiao would be unwilling to accept it!

She would have to keep a close eye on this matter.

With Ye Xiao's understanding of these books.

At such a dire moment, there was bound to be a mandatory key plot point.

At that time.

She would have to use the 'change text' function again.

As for now.

She didn't plan to intervene prematurely.

Even if she used the change text function now to dispel Ye Bingtong's thoughts, it was almost inevitable that after a while, she might come up with the same idea again.

Then how long would she have to keep changing it?

Since Ye Bingtong wanted to play the sympathy card in this manner, let her go ahead.

With so many opportunities to use the change text function, there would be plenty of chances for Ye Bingtong to slip up and dig her own grave.

Lin Yun looked at Ye Xiao's furrowed brows and couldn't help feeling a pang of heartache; she blurted out, “Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Are there any more troubles bothering you?”

Ye Xiao showed Lin Yun a smile, “It's nothing.”

[The original plot in the book was bound to happen in one way or another. Ye Bingtong planned to fake her suicide, and before doing so, she planned to have Luo Li write a song for her to sing. If the song was impressive enough, it could garner more sympathy. In the original book, Luo Li stole Lin Yun's work and claimed it as his own. This time, the same thing was likely to happen. Lin Yun, being proud, would never tolerate being accused of plagiarism. If she were to fall ill because of it… No, this must be stopped.]

Although Ye Xiao appeared calm and composed on the outside, her heart was full of worries.

Lin Yun couldn't help feeling heartache wave after wave.

She wasn't feeling sorry for herself, only for Ye Xiao.

How much was Xiaoxiao carrying on her shoulders?

She seemed so used to changing everything by herself, but none of this was her responsibility.

She wanted to save everyone, but what about herself?

Who would help her bear the pressure?

Lin Yun's voice became incredibly gentle as she said softly, “Xiaoxiao, tonight, when I saw the video of the seizure being exposed, I wasn't scared at all. What used to feel like the sky was falling now just seems ordinary. Because I know that I'm no longer alone. You will always be by my side, right?”

Ye Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with emotion.

Lin Yun held her hand, “So, as long as you are with me, I have nothing to fear. I'm not as fragile as you think. No matter what they throw at us in the future, I can catch it all calmly. You don't have to treat me like a child to be protected; I can face the storms together with you.”

Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly sparkled.

Just as the two were holding hands.

Ye Xiao's cell phone screen suddenly lit up.

Ye Xiao glanced at it.

It was a video from Gu Yan.
