One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 105: Chapter 82 Ye Bingtong’s Regret

Ye Bingtong still had the hundred thousand yuan given to her by the Ye Family.

With frugality, that sum could have lasted until her graduation.

If she had put her heart into a job and worked hard, though her life wouldn’t shine as bright, it might still have been happy.

But having been accustomed to wealth, how could Ye Bingtong bear such a fall?

Even with only a hundred thousand, she was unwilling to compromise, continuing to live in the most luxurious hotels.

Pei Yue, seeing Ye Bingtong’s extravagant spending, thought she must have had a sizeable private stash after so many years with the Ye Family and let her be for the time being.

However.

The best accommodations weren’t enough; Ye Bingtong continued to reach for the standards she was used to at the Ye Family’s home.

Buying the most expensive ingredients, and as for clothes and bags, she wanted everything.

This hundred thousand yuan.

It was all gone in just three days.

When a flustered Ye Bingtong told Pei Yue about this, he could hardly believe it.

He had thought she took out a substantial amount of money.

But it turned out to be merely a hundred thousand!

Just a hundred thousand, and she dared to spend like that?

Wasn’t that madness?

Pei Yue could have made that money last for three to four years.

But Ye Bingtong had spent it all in just three days!

For the first time, Pei Yue couldn’t help but lose his temper at Ye Bingtong.

And Ye Bingtong felt aggrieved.

She even thought she had been quite sparing.

She never used to look at prices when shopping, buying anything she wanted with just a card swipe.

But now.

She had to be meticulous with every purchase, wary of spending too much.

Just a hundred thousand yuan – she had previously spent more than that on a single bag, and now, after holding out for three days, shouldn’t she be praised?

But after Pei Yue confirmed that was all she had, he burst out in a great fury.

Was this really love?

After they moved in together, they had their first major argument.

Ye Bingtong, knowing the ways of the world, eventually realized that now Pei Yue was the only one left to care for her.

After the quarrel, she could only follow Pei Yue back.

Pei Yue did truly love Ye Bingtong. He was doing quite well at work, with some rich women’s patronage and a decent earnings in tips. Though they could not live as luxuriously as they once did with the Ye Family, it was enough to keep them quite comfortable.

Ye Bingtong was resentful but slowly resigned herself to her fate.

At that point,

La Jingzhou appeared!

La Jingzhou, wanting to pin all the blame on Ye Bingtong, not only targeted her directly but also sent people to threaten Pei Yue, causing him to lose his job.

Pei Yue tried to use his connections to fight back, but La Jingzhou at that time was beyond his league.

Overnight, Pei Yue lost everything.

And Ye Bingtong’s reputation was completely ruined.

Pei Yue even suggested that she drop out of school to find a job and work with him.

After all, Ye Bingtong’s chances of entering the entertainment industry were slim now.

But.

How could Ye Bingtong just give up?

The two had another explosive argument.

Pei Yue blamed her for his job loss.

Ye Bingtong blamed Pei Yue for the promise of a better life and failing to deliver.

In a moment of agitation,

Pei Yue’s mania erupted, and he violently lashed out at Ye Bingtong.

Before.

When Pei Yue had a knife pointed at Ye Xiao,

Ye Bingtong would say, Pei Yue didn’t mean it, he couldn’t help himself.

But this time, she was the one bearing it all.

Ye Bingtong was starting to crumble.

The book spent pages describing Ye Bingtong’s psychological turmoil.

“She huddled in a corner, too scared to move. Ye Bingtong didn’t understand how things had come to this.

She was the precious daughter of the Ye Family, loved by her parents, adored by everyone, the envy of all.

But now, everything had changed.

She was forced to live in this dilapidated room, listening to Pei Yue endlessly counting the household expenses. When he had his episodes, he would even beat her.

Is this the love she wanted?

Is this the life she wanted to live?”

“Is she really going to be with Pei Yue?”

When Ye Xiao saw this, her heart was filled with nothing but mockery.

During the time in the book.

She was desperate, only wanting to be with Pei Yue.

When her family opposed it, she thought they were preventing her from pursuing happiness, hating the Ye Family to the core.

What about this time?

No one was stopping her now.

She had her wish fulfilled and was with Pei Yue at last.

Yet, she regretted it once again.

How long had it been?

The so-called true love of the male and female leads couldn’t even last ten days.

That was that.

How these two would fuss, Ye Xiao actually didn’t care much about.

What did seem amusing to her was.

After facing the harshness of reality.

Ye Bingtong actually started thinking about Gu Cheng again.

Every time she encountered a problem, or when Pei Yue hit her or kicked her, she would think of Gu Cheng over and over again.

“If it were Brother Gu, he definitely wouldn’t treat me like this.”

“If it were Brother Gu, I wouldn’t have to worry about money.”

“Brother Gu, where are you? Bingtong misses you so much.”

After a series of these nauseating thought processes, Ye Bingtong couldn’t help wanting to look for Gu Cheng.

Actually.

It was the same in the original book.

Whenever Ye Bingtong had a fight with Pei Yue, or felt aggrieved, she would immediately go to find Gu Cheng.

And then Pei Yue would find out, then he would get jealous, then Ye Bingtong would secretly rejoice, and then the two of them would reconcile.

Gu Cheng was just being used as a tool.

In the book, he relished this role.

He thought, even if Ye Bingtong didn’t love him, as long as she turned back, he would always be waiting for her in the same place.

Gu Cheng was such a huge victim.

This time, although many scenes had changed.

Gu Cheng was still being treated as a backup by Ye Bingtong.

The only difference was.

In the book, when Ye Bingtong was with Pei Yue, Pei Yue was already a big CEO, and Ye Bingtong didn’t suffer much in her life. Their arguments and tantrums were all over trivial matters.

So, Gu Cheng played the role of a jealousy-inducing tool, and the two immediately made up. Ye Bingtong never really considered giving up on Pei Yue.

But this time. Ye Bingtong really regretted it.

Her desire to find Gu Cheng now stemmed from a different mindset; it was even possible that Gu Cheng could play the role of the male lead taking over.

Regarding this.

Ye Xiao just couldn’t stop frowning.

She didn’t know much about Gu Cheng.

But at least he was Uncle Gu’s brother.

If he got entangled with Ye Bingtong again, Uncle Gu would probably encounter some trouble.

Ye Xiao inexplicably felt a bit irritable.

Luckily, her word count had now accumulated to eight words.

No matter what Ye Bingtong wanted to do, she should be able to stop her.

How many chances does one get in life to make a new choice?

Since she chose Pei Yue, she might as well stay with him forever.

Just stop thinking about causing trouble for others.

“Xiaoxiao, here.” Someone had already saved a seat for Ye Xiao early on.

Ye Xiao turned her head, pretending not to see Ye Bingtong, and sat down directly.

Suddenly, everyone around started talking to Ye Xiao as if she were a star surrounded by planets.

Ye Bingtong clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

Originally, all this attention should have been hers.

Now, it had become Ye Xiao’s!

As these people talked and laughed.

Ye Bingtong didn’t know what they were laughing about, but she felt that they were laughing at her!

All the grievances, anger, and pain she had felt these days burst forth.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t hold back anymore and suddenly stood up, saying in a verge of breakdown, “Talking behind someone’s back, is this the manners you were taught?”

Everyone looked at her with expressions of utter confusion.

This Ye Bingtong, has she lost her mind?
