Chapter 106: Chapter 83 How familiar the scene is
Ye Bingtong’s face was defiant, “You think I don’t know what you’re all talking about? Isn’t it just to elevate Ye Xiao while mocking me? Let me tell you, everything is just getting started!”
Ye Xiao looked at Ye Bingtong with a mocking smile.
Ye Bingtong nearly blurted out, “A reversal of fortune in thirty years.”
It seems that the once pampered female lead, after the plot had shifted, was truly in a hurry!
She thought.
The protagonist is always imperturbable, right? But in reality? It’s just that it hadn’t happened to them.
Ye Xiao lazily stood up and looked at Ye Bingtong, “Ye Bingtong, do you think too highly of yourself? Who said we were discussing you? Weren’t we just talking about TR’s latest jewelry collection?”
“Exactly. Who has the time to care about you all the time?” another person added.
“You think you’re the center of the universe.”
Everyone was chattering with sarcasm.
Ye Bingtong’s face turned pale.
Ye Xiao watched coldly.
How familiar this scene was.
Once upon a time.
She was the sensitive and insecure one, and Ye Bingtong always had to show her kindness and gentleness. Not wanting to mingle, the people around would then follow Ye Bingtong in mocking and jesting her.
“You think you’re too good for us! Only a kind and gentle goddess like Ye would bother with you.”
“Such ingratitude.”
“Goddess, let’s not bother with her.”
Those words made her, already filled with self-doubt, even more reticent.
She had even sought out Ye Bingtong privately, asking her not to pay any more attention to her.
But Ye Bingtong disagreed.
She claimed that she wouldn’t give up being friends with her and continued doing it over and over again.
In fact.
These flatterers were also quite detestable.
They were like weather vanes, always swaying towards the stronger side.
How they had extolled Ye Bingtong before, now they were doing the same to her.
Ye Xiao had always been indifferent to these people, but now they were making Ye Bingtong uncomfortable, which was somewhat useful.
Ye Xiao, looking at Ye Bingtong’s pallid complexion, smiled even more brightly, “I see. After you were kicked out by the Ye family, you probably haven’t kept up with the latest fashion news, right? I heard that now, you’re officially with Pei Yue? Can that little hoodlum afford to buy you the jewelry you love?”
Ye Bingtong’s face changed, and she couldn’t help but grind her teeth as she said, “Ye Xiao, you needn’t worry about me!”
Even if she already regretted it, Ye Bingtong still put on the image of a pure love warrior: “Aside from money, the Ye family has nothing at all! But being with Brother Pei, he can give me the care that the Ye family cannot! You think I’ll regret it? You think you can laugh at me like this? Let me tell you! You’re wrong! I’m doing very well!”
How could she admit that she was not doing well at all now?
That would only make Ye Xiao laugh at her.
Even if it was stubborn pride, she would maintain it to the end!
Ye Xiao laughed, speaking softly, “Bingtong, there’s no need to be so tough. Here, I actually have more jewelry than I can use. Seeing you so pitiful, I’ll give you one.”
Ye Xiao casually took off a hairpin and, as if bestowing charity, tossed it onto Ye Bingtong’s table, “This one’s for you. Even though it’s just a hairpin I’ve used, your little hoodlum would probably have to work for a long time to afford it. Take it.”
Her tone was condescending.
Ye Bingtong’s expression was dazed for a moment.
Once upon a time.
She used to behave like this, presenting things she didn’t want to Ye Xiao.
What was Ye Xiao’s reaction then?
Embarrassment.
Anger.
Fear.
Pain.
She saw it all.
But what of that?
Without using Ye Xiao, how could she show off her kindness and gentleness?
If Ye Xiao didn’t cooperate, that was her problem.
She was antisocial and unapproachable with an inexplicably high sense of pride.
She deserved the ridicule.
But now.
It was her turn.
Ye Xiao was offering her charity from on high, just like she used to do.
“Right, just take it.”
“Xiaoxiao is so generous.”
“If it were me, I would never bother with someone like Ye Bingtong.”
Ye Bingtong clenched her teeth, “I haven’t fallen so low as to need your charity!”
Ye Bingtong was somewhat falling apart, promptly throwing the item into the trash bin.
She had just made the movement when she spaced out for a moment.
Before.
The clothes she had given to Ye Xiao seemed to have also been thrown into the trash can by Ye Xiao like this.
Ye Xiao was devastated back then.
But everyone was blaming her.
“What’s this? She really has no sense.”
“You couldn’t afford this piece of clothing even if you saved for eight generations.”
“It’s utterly nonsensical.”
Now, these voices of accusation were turned toward her.
Ye Bingtong turned around, suddenly fixing her gaze on Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao stood with her arms crossed over her chest, watching her with a mocking smile.
Ye Bingtong started to crumble, “Ye Xiao, you did this on purpose!”
“Is it necessary to do it on purpose to deal with you?” Ye Xiao glanced at her disdainfully and lazily sat down.
Ye Bingtong pursed her lips, her entire being teetering on the edge of collapse.
All the suffering she had endured over the years didn’t amount to one ten-thousandth of this past month.
Why.
Why did fate have to treat her like this?
After all, everything wasn’t supposed to be like this.
Soon, the teacher entered the classroom, ready to start the lesson.
Ye Bingtong struggled to focus her attention, wanting to listen carefully to the class.
This was her last year.
In another half a year, she would have her diploma. By then, she would have a chance to make a comeback!
But.
How could Ye Bingtong calm her mind at this moment?
Whatever the teacher was saying, she couldn’t hear at all.
There was only one thought in her mind.
She must take revenge on Ye Xiao.
She would definitely take revenge on Ye Xiao.
Pei Yue couldn’t help her achieve this goal.
Only Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng could!
Although she and Gu Cheng had broken off their engagement, Ye Bingtong knew that Gu Cheng still had her in his heart.
If she was willing to give up on Pei Yue and obediently return to his side, Gu Cheng would definitely accept her ecstatically.
By then.
Even if she no longer had the identity of the Ye Family daughter, she would still be Madam Gu, wouldn’t she?
By then.
Would Ye Xiao still be able to humiliate her as she pleased?
The Gu Family was not the slightest bit inferior to the Ye Family!
Ye Bingtong, watching Ye Xiao’s back, had a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.
She would never let Ye Xiao be so smug.
Even if it was just to suppress Ye Xiao again, she would seek out Gu Cheng.
She wanted to let Ye Xiao know.
There were many things she simply didn’t want.
If she decided she wanted them, she could take everything back in minutes!
In this class, Ye Xiao gained a lot, while Ye Bingtong had come to some sort of resolution.
After two classes, Ye Xiao was preparing to go watch Gu Yan’s basketball game.
A classmate spoke up.
“Xiaoxiao, let’s go, let’s go watch the basketball game.”
Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised, “Eh? You’re going too?”
“How could we not? I heard that today the school basketball team is playing against a former national team member! Most importantly, Gu Yan is actually going to play in the game personally!”
“Gu Yan! That Gu Yan!”
“Haha, how could our Xiaoxiao not know Gu Yan? The big CEO himself confessed that he’s pursuing our Xiaoxiao.”
A group of people chatted energetically.
Ye Xiao was a bit embarrassed, “How do you all know?”
“Someone started handing out flyers early, look, I even snagged one.” A classmate took out a flyer.
At a glance, Ye Xiao saw Gu Yan posing pretentiously at the center.
She instantly felt numb.
This Uncle Gu, already of a certain age, why does he need to be so high-profile?
If he doesn’t win the match with such a big show, wouldn’t he be crying his eyes out?
