One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 85: Chapter 62: Brimming with the Spirit of Youth

Three days later, quickly arrived the evening of the party.

Ye Bolin had informed Liu Yan in advance to hold back Li Jingzhou and come later.

If Li Jingzhou and Bai Shilan met earlier, Bai Shilan would certainly abandon her original plan, and that would be less fun.

They needed to let Bai Shilan expose her true self and then have Li Jingzhou witness it with his own eyes—only then would it be entertaining.

Liu Yan couldn’t have hoped for a better spectacle and naturally agreed at once.

Night fell.

The Ye Family’s residence was brilliantly lit.

Luxury cars filled the entrance, and esteemed individuals began to arrive one after another.

Dressed to the nines, Bai Shilan also made her way to the Ye Family.

As she entered the grand hall, the dazzling lights momentarily blinded her, and a hint of envious light flickered in her eyes.

Indeed, the Ye Family was extraordinary.

She had seen quite a bit of the world with Li Jingzhou.

However, Li Jingzhou never took her to significant events, and he certainly didn’t introduce her to people of true status.

At those times, the person by his side was always Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was the one he planned to be with for life.

As for herself, she was no more than an expendable canary.

Bai Shilan wallowed in self-pity for a moment before quickly rallying her spirits.

Hadn’t she already resolved to leave Li Jingzhou?

Now was her chance.

She had always liked Ye Lin, and now she discovered that Ye Lin was actually the second son of the Ye Family. In terms of status and position, he was not inferior to Li Jingzhou at all.

If she could secure Ye Lin, she wouldn’t have to be caged anymore.

Bai Shilan’s eyes shifted as she started to look for Ye Lin’s figure.

From the moment Bai Shilan entered, Ye Xiao had taken out her sunflower seeds, ready to watch the drama unfold while cracking them.

She definitely wanted to direct a spectacular and moving show today.

She was just about to start.

Suddenly.

A hand reached over, “Share some?”

Ye Xiao looked up to see Gu Yan’s fox-like eyes.

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes but still handed him a handful of sunflower seeds.

Gu Yan sat down next to Ye Xiao, and together they turned to watch Bai Shilan, looking like two snack-munching hamsters.

Ye Xiao couldn’t resist glancing at Gu Yan, “Tell me, how do you manage to find me even when I’m hiding in a corner?”

Gu Yan replied nonchalantly, “Didn’t I say I have a crush on you? Since I do, I can obviously spot you in an instant.”

Ye Xiao rolled her eyes dramatically, “Do you think I believe any of that nonsense?”

[I’d rather believe that you and my older brother are engaged in some torrid love-hate relationship.]

Gu Yan’s expression stiffened for a moment before he spoke emotionlessly, “It seems Berlin has been quite close to Liu Yan recently?”

“Are you jealous?” Ye Xiao asked instinctively.

The next moment.

She quickly covered her mouth.

Damn it, why did she speak her mind out loud?

Gu Yan gave her a look that was both smiling yet not, “Guess what, if your older brother finds out that your head is filled with these thoughts all the time, do you think he’ll grab you and lecture you for three days and nights?”

At that.

It was Ye Xiao’s turn to be stiff.

She had experienced Ye Bolin’s preachy skills firsthand.

Even dad and mom couldn’t stand it, let alone her.

After thinking for a bit, Ye Xiao solemnly passed another handful of seeds, “Here, hush money.”

Gu Yan found it a bit amusing but took them anyway, “Deal.”

With tacit understanding, they continued to shift their gaze, ready for the show to unfold.

Ye Xiao had already opened the book by now, taking in the following scenes.

Bai Shilan looked at the dazzling party, a wave of sadness inexplicably filling her heart. She had never been brought to such an event by La Jingzhou. In his eyes, she really was just a plaything.

But now things were different. She didn’t want to rely on La Jingzhou anymore; she had the right to bravely pursue the love in her heart. Although she couldn’t let go of La Jingzhou right away, it was okay.

Ye Lin was so good; he would definitely help her start a new life.

Bai Shilan’s gaze flitted about, eagerly searching for the shadow of the man in her heart.

Finally, she saw him.

It was Ye Lin.

The youngest Best Actor in the entertainment industry, with only a few years in the circle, he had already achieved grand slam status. When she first entered the industry, everyone looked down on her as a newcomer, even the makeup artists deliberately ignored her and did a slapdash job on her makeup. It was Ye Lin who noticed and spoke up for her, prompting the makeup artists to redo her makeup properly.

After that, she etched the gentle Ye Lin deeply into her heart. She thought that if it were Ye Lin, he definitely wouldn’t confine her like La Jingzhou did, causing her to endure endless internal anguish and torment.

Bai Shilan quickened her pace towards Ye Lin.

She knew that Ye Lin didn’t like women with heavy makeup or those with deep schemes, so today she had only applied light makeup and wore a simple yet elegant little white dress, accessorized with a crystal hairpin. Youthfulness radiated from her. Ye Lin would surely like it when he saw her.

Bai Shilan suppressed her shyness and softly called out, “Brother Ye…”

Ye Xiao felt goosebumps all over while reading the plot in the book.

Luckily, she had read this section last night and had somewhat desensitized herself. A shiver later, she was back to normal.

This time.

Ye Xiao had an unprecedented number of words at her disposal.

She already had eight words, and now three more days had passed.

Exactly eleven words.

She planned to arrange an unforgettable night for Bai Shilan.

Eleven words, if they could completely change Bai Shilan and the direction of this book, that would be totally worth it.

What’s more, she probably wouldn’t even need that many.

Just as Bai Shilan was about to call out to Ye Lin.

Ye Xiao smirked and quickly changed a word.

It’s not that she didn’t want to change more, but one word offered the best value for money.

Hehehe.

Gu Yan observed Ye Xiao’s expression, with a flicker of interest in his eyes.

Oh?

It seems the show is about to begin.

“Brother Ye,” Bai Shilan called out again, barely concealing her shyness with a soft voice.

Although Ye Lin resented this ‘beauty trap’ strategy, he still turned around as planned.

He had never paid attention to this Bai Shilan before.

This time, he was determined to see for himself just what made her so revered that such a big fuss was being made for her.

When Ye Lin turned and saw Bai Shilan, his normally indifferent face suddenly flashed with an expression of horror.

What the heck?

Wasn’t Bai Shilan known for being the pure and innocent ingénue?

What the hell was this in front of him?

Bai Shilan stood there, seemingly boneless as she leaned against a column, with stray strands of hair hanging down and eyes full of endless allure.

In one word, she was provocative.

In two words, very provocative.

Ye Lin was instantly stunned. “You are… Bai Shilan?”

This was nothing like what he had heard!

Bai Shilan’s voice became even more coquettish: “Brother Ye, you still remember me? That makes me so happy.”

Her voice was seductively charming, matching the motion of her waving hand which turned her into the spitting image of a woman soliciting customers on the street.

Ye Lin was at a loss for how to react.

Ye Xiao cracked sunflower seeds and laughed to herself.

She had only changed the phrase “radiating with youthful energy” to “radiating with the aura of a brothel”.

Who would have thought, the effect was pretty good, huh!
