One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 70: Chapter 47 Tea Fragrance Overflows

Translator: 549690339

Li Mingyu’s audition was still going on, but the role she was auditioning for had changed.

Previously, she had settled on Ye Xiao for the role after seeing her performance.

The auditions that followed were merely a formality.

But now it was different.

Since she decided not to collaborate with Bai Shilan, she could use this opportunity to pick a newcomer to replace Bai Shilan’s role.

As for La Jingzhou, whether he agreed or not, Li Mingyu had no plans to change her mind.

She couldn’t possibly cooperate with a person who had hurt Xiaoyu.

If La Jingzhou cancelled the partnership willingly, that would be acceptable.

If he was unwilling, then she would have no choice but to publicize Bai Shilan’s glorious deeds within the industry.

When the time came, the person who would be less able to bear it would certainly not be her.

Li Mingyu busied herself with decisive actions. Before she left, she had intended to have a nanny take care of Chen Yu, but she noticed that Chen Yu seemed inexplicably resistant to the nanny.

Li Mingyu thought about it and made a decision, sending the nanny home in advance.

This incident with Bai Shilan…

…was only possible because the nanny had been sent away at the outset.

Despite her clear instructions that the nanny must not leave Xiaoyu’s side no matter the circumstances, leaving Xiaoyu in the care of Bai Shilan and Ye Bingtong was a severe dereliction of duty.

Considering the rejection Xiaoyu now showed.

It was possible that the nanny had other issues.

This nanny most likely had to be let go.

Once a suitable replacement was found, she would be replaced.

As Li Mingyu hurried off to attend to her tasks, Ye Xiao took a step forward and Chen Yu followed suit.

When Ye Xiao stepped back, Chen Yu mimicked her retreat.

Ye Xiao spun in a circle, and he twirled along with her.

A radiant smile unfurled on Ye Xiao’s face, and she patted Xiaoyu on the head, “Come on, I’ll take you to my house to play for a while.”

Chen Yu was usually very resistant to unfamiliar environments, but this time, he nodded without hesitation.

He didn’t understand where his sense of closeness to Ye Xiao came from.

But.

He just knew.

It was Sister Ye Xiao who had saved him this time.

The inexplicable force that kept him from falling, and the hint of warmth in the terrifying illusions, all of it had to be related to Sister Ye Xiao.

Chen Yu had this strange intuition.

Ye Xiao, familiar with the route, called for the driver and took Chen Yu back to the Ye Family.

“Xiaoxiao, you’re back so early?” Du Yaru was saying this with a cheerful smile when suddenly, she caught sight of the child next to her, and her smile stiffened momentarily.

A… A child?

What was going on?

It surely couldn’t be that Xiaoxiao had abducted him!

Quickly, Du Yaru inquired, “Xiaoxiao, whose child is this?”

“Hello, auntie.” Before Ye Xiao could speak, Chen Yu peeked out from behind her, revealing a polite and adorable smile.

He wasn’t accustomed to smiling, so his expression was a bit odd when he did.

Yet he was handsome, and his smile still managed to melt hearts.

“Hello.” Du Yaru couldn’t help but soften her voice.

“Mom, this is Director Li’s grandson. I’m looking after him for a bit. Director Li will pick him up later,” Ye Xiao quickly explained.

Director Li?

Du Yaru knew that Ye Xiao had recently been vying for a role in Li Mingyu’s new movie. Hearing this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, she wasn’t tricked into coming here.

However, the director had actually trusted her enough to leave the child in Ye Xiao’s care… This role as the female lead…

Du Yaru couldn’t help but look at Ye Xiao expectantly.

Ye Xiao immediately flashed a cocky smile, “Director Li told me that the role of the female lead is mine. There’s just no helping it, my acting is too good. During the audition, I was astonishingly brilliant! The moment I appeared, it was as if everything else in the world lost its color…”

Ye Xiao’s lips prattled on boastfully.

Du Yaru listened in stunned silence, while Chen Yu looked at Ye Xiao with a face full of admiration, clapping his hands from time to time to express his amazement.

“Xiaoyu was a bit nervous when he first came in, but now he seems much better.” Ye Xiao continued to spin tales while smiling at the child.

Hearing this inner voice, Du Yaru’s gaze softened, and she understood.

Her Xiaoxiao.

No matter what she appeared to be on the outside, her heart was incredibly tender.

After finishing her astonishing tale, Ye Xiao looked around, her expression somewhat hesitant.

“Where’s Big Brother? If Big Brother isn’t here when Director Li comes, there won’t be anyone to make the introductions for them. Director Li is about to have a falling out with Huanyu… this is the perfect opportunity… no, the perfect time to help someone in need… no, a win-win cooperation.”

Upon hearing this, Du Yaru said nonchalantly, “Your dad and Big Brother have gone out to take care of some business. We have guests at home, so I’ll give them a call and ask them to come back early.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up.

“Oh my god, my mom truly deserves to be the female Zhuge Liang. Her instincts are on point.”

A smile crept across Du Yaru’s lips, and her chest puffed with pride!

Du Yaru called Ye Mingcheng and then hurriedly began to entertain Chen Yu.

Ye Xiao was worried that Chen Yu might be a bit shy, but to her surprise, although the child didn’t talk much, his naturally sweet and lovely face and his calling her “Auntie” made Du Yaru smile from ear to ear.

Ye Mingcheng and Ye Bolin were discussing business with Gu Yan.

After receiving a call from the family, Ye Mingcheng prepared to wrap things up and head home earlier.

Gu Yan, noticing something, said quietly, “Uncle, are you in a rush to get home? We’ve just about finished our discussion here, and it’s been a long time since I had a cup of your tea, Uncle. Would it be alright for me to drop by the Ye Family and bother you?”

Ye Bolin narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yan with hostility, “What’s the matter, is the Gu Family going under? Can’t even afford a cup of tea now?”

Ye Mingcheng couldn’t help but glare at Ye Bolin, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

He laughed and looked at Gu Yan, “As it happens, we’ve just received a batch of new tea, and you’re the only one who’d appreciate drinking it with me. Giving it to Bolin is just a waste of good tea.”

“How could that be?” Gu Yan laughed lightly, “Bolin has his own unique way of drinking tea.”

“Gu Yan, stop putting on an act. You’re clearly just…” Ye Bolin couldn’t resist exposing Gu Yan’s facade.

This bastard is definitely not going to the Ye Family just for tea!

“Ye Bolin!” Ye Mingcheng gave him a stern look, “Is this how I taught you to speak to your friends?”

Ye Bolin: “???”

He dares to say so! If his father knew Gu Yan’s true purpose, he’d be even more anxious than him.

Gu Yan spoke softly, “It’s okay, Bolin is just like that, I won’t misunderstand him.”

Ye Mingcheng’s face radiated satisfaction, “It’s because of your magnanimity that you’ve been able to stay friends for so many years. If it were anyone else, they would have fallen out with him long ago.”

“Bolin is actually a very good person,” Gu Yan continued.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s ignore him.” Ye Mingcheng patted Gu Yan’s shoulder, and the two of them walked out side by side.

Ye Bolin:

The tea wasn’t even brewed yet.

For some reason, he could already smell the fragrance of tea!

And it was very strong too!
