Chapter 27: Chapter 4: Crazy, All Gone Crazy

Translator: 549690339

The Chen Family was now depending on the investment from the Ye Family to save themselves. If her father found out she wanted to initiate the annulment, wouldn’t he kill her?

“Berlin, you can’t treat me like this,” Chen Yueyue said with tears in her eyes. “You know how much my parents are looking forward to this marriage. How can you suddenly ask for an annulment? How am I supposed to explain?”

Ye Bolin looked at her, his words loaded with meaning, “But in this world, everything comes at a price, doesn’t it?”

Chen Yueyue wanted to pull off such a stunt, hoping to get away unscathed.

How could that be possible?

She had to make a choice.

Chen Yueyue’s face turned even paler, her voice trembling, “Are you really… not going to spare a thought for our past?”

Ye Bolin said calmly, “I can assure you, this is already a result of me considering our history.”

Otherwise.

Given his ruthlessness in the business world, he wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

If Chen Yueyue willingly and proactively called off the marriage, he might not necessarily expose her disgrace to the public.

Consider it both of them parting on good terms.

But as for the parents, naturally, Chen Yueyue had to explain it herself.

“You have such a cruel heart,” Chen Yueyue’s tears fell in sheets, and she suddenly clutched her stomach, “My child… my child… ”

Ye Bolin’s expression changed.

He couldn’t care less about the child.

But the child couldn’t cause trouble for the Ye Family. Otherwise, he would never be able to clear his name.

[Tsk. If this child could actually cause trouble, that would be great. As the child of the male and female leads, he’s supposed to be a genius with an IQ of 180, destined to take down the Ye Family for his biological father. ]

Ye Xiao commented while munching on melon seeds.

Ye Bolin’s expression changed.

This fetus?

An IQ of 180?

Ye Bolin suddenly understood what Ye Xiao meant by the male and female leads in her thoughts.

The male and female leads, in other words, the protagonists. Anyone who opposed them was the villain. Anything related to them was blessed with good fortune.

Even their child had to be a genius with an IQ of 180!

According to Xiaoxiao, this child wouldn’t encounter trouble at all.

Ye Bolin sat still, saying calmly, “Your pregnancy seems so unstable, it seems this child will be hard to keep. Why not, let’s go to the hospital and abort it.”

He narrowed his eyes, seriously considering this option.

An IQ of 180, right?

Supposed to destroy the Ye Family, right?

Then better not to be born at all.

Chen Yueyue’s face changed, and she quickly said, “No… the child is fine… I just had a sudden heart palpitation, but I’m okay now.”

“Are you sure? Otherwise, I can take you to the hospital myself,” Ye Bolin said softly.

Chen Yueyue’s pupils shrank.

How could she dare to go to the hospital!

Considering Ye Bolin’s demeanor today, he seemed inclined to force her to abort the child.

This was flesh of her flesh; she would protect the child no matter what.

“No need, I… I have other things to deal with, so I’ll be leaving first,” said Chen Yueyue, her departure tinged with panic.

Ye Bolin reminded her indifferently, “Remember, you only have three days to think it over. If you haven’t taken any action after three days, then I will start taking action. At that point, I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be.”

Chen Yueyue’s body trembled, but she quickly left.

Ye Bingtong watched Chen Yueyue’s retreating figure, feeling quite pleased.

That crazy woman had inexplicably exposed so many scandals about her; now she was getting her just desserts.

“Bingtong,” Ye Mingcheng suddenly called out.

Ye Bingtong instantly stiffened.

She turned around somewhat panic-stricken.

Chen Yueyue might not have gained any advantages, but her own troubles were far from over.

“Dad,” Ye Bingtong showed one of her best, most obedient smiles, “you know as well, that Chen Yueyue is not a good woman. You can’t believe what she says.”

Watching Ye Bingtong feign calm, Ye Mingcheng sighed inwardly and said softly, “You should stop going to school for a while and stay home to calm down. And about that Pei Yue, I do not want to see you having any contact with him. You are my daughter, and I will forgive you once, twice, even thrice, but there is a limit to my forgiveness.”

Ye Mingcheng paused and looked at her, “Do you understand?”

This was the last chance.

He would see if he could set his daughter right.

If she could cut ties with Pei Yue from now on, there might still be a chance for redemption.

If she persisted in her folly, then no matter how heartbreaking it was, she could no longer be his daughter.

He couldn’t let the Ye Family collapse because of Ye Bingtong.

Now, it was just this last opportunity.

Ye Bingtong’s face turned a shade paler, “Dad, Pei Yue has already been sent to the police station by Xiaoxiao, why do you all still have to target him like this?”

“Police station?” Ye Mingcheng was taken aback, “What happened?”

What had Pei Yue done to Xiaoxiao now?

The Ye Family grew anxious.

Ye Bingtong hurriedly explained, “Pei Yue was just joking with Xiaoxiao, who would have thought that she would make such a fuss, insisting on sending him to the police station. Now, the school is even considering expelling him.”

The more Ye Bingtong spoke, the more aggrieved she felt for Pei Yue, “After his parents divorced, he was bullied by his uncle and aunt, which is already so pitiful! He only uses the appearance of a delinquent to hide his inner fragility and helplessness! Every single one of you misunderstands him, not knowing how upset he must be feeling! Xiaoxiao, you really shouldn’t have done what you did. Maybe you should go to the police station and get them to release Pei Yue.”

Initially worried about her own situation, once Ye Bingtong started talking about Pei Yue, she forgot herself entirely, her heart and eyes filled solely with thoughts of him.

He must be so upset right now, right?

Won’t he be bullied in the detention center?

Everyone judges him by his appearance and can’t see the warmth of Pei Yue’s heart! Why does fate have to be so unfair?

Fortunately, Pei Yue still had her!

She would definitely strive to protect him, to keep him from losing faith in this world.

Ye Bingtong spoke with emotion.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes dramatically, and she set down her melon seeds and slammed the table, standing up abruptly, “Ye Bingtong, if you want to debase yourself, then go and do it. I haven’t been indulging his temper! If he dares to threaten me with a knife, he has to face the consequences. If you really sympathize with him that much, why don’t you go to jail and keep him company? That, I certainly won’t stop.”

“What? A knife?”

The Ye Family members instantly became tense.

Ye Bolin’s expression turned grim as he directly asked, “What knife! Xiaoxiao, why have you never mentioned this!”

“Damn thing! Brandishing a knife in school? And the school didn’t even bother to inform us parents!” Ye Mingcheng was completely furious, “Just wait, I’m going to speak with your school’s board members. If they don’t expel that Pei Yue, then forget about the donation for the new building.”

Ye Bingtong was somewhat stunned.

It was just a tiny little knife, were they all crazy?

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Du Yaru glared at Ye Mingcheng.

Ye Bingtong immediately felt hopeful, seeing that her mother still seemed rational.

Du Yaru said directly, “What are you waiting for? Do it now, right this instant, call them! What is the school even doing? If Xiaoxiao had been hurt, I’d like to see how they’d explain!”

Ye Bingtong: “???”

They’re all crazy!
