Chapter 63: Chapter 40: Calculation
Translator: 549690339
The nanny thought for a mont and cald down.
Bai Shilan still had to act in her boss’s film, so no matter what, she couldn’t possibly harm Chen Yu.
After Chen Yu arrived at the lakeside, he didn’t glance at anyone else, as if he couldn’t hear the voices around him, and just found a rock to sit on and stared at the ants on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, his pupils were unfocused, rely numbly following the movents of the ants.
Ye Bingtong frowned.
This child, why does he seem sowhat foolish?
Bai Shilan gave her a aningful look.
Ye Bingtong hesitated for a mont, then walked over as well.
She stood beside Chen Yu, her lips curling into her gentlest smile, “You’re Xiaoyu, right? Are you watching the ants? Big sister knows lots of little facts about ants, shall I tell you about them?”
Chen Yu gave her no response.
Ye Bingtong, pushing through, started speaking anyway, “Ants, you see, are very fascinating creatures, they…”
Once Ye Bingtong had spoken until her mouth was dry, Chen Yu finally showed a slight reaction and looked up.
A glimr of anticipation flashed through Ye Bingtong’s eyes.
Chen Yu looked at her once, then stood up and moved to another rock to sit, clearly showing he didn’t want to bother with her.
Ye Bingtong’s face suddenly took on an ugly expression.
A fool, actually giving her attitude?
“Miss, Xiaoyu has always been like this, even I barely get any attention from him,” the nanny said.
Ye Bingtong’s eyebrows deeply furrowed; how was she to win over this child’s favor?
The most conventional thod would be to take it slow, to let ti work its magic, possibly making him grow fond of her to so degree.
But.
By the ti that happened, the film role would probably have been long decided!
What use then, was getting the boy’s favor?
“It’s indeed hopeless,” Bai Shilan smiled.
Having tried every thod on Chen Yu to no avail, she knew the likelihood of Ye Bingtong’s success was virtually non-existent.
“Bai Sister,” Ye Bingtong looked at Bai Shilan with so confusion.
Knowing the boy’s situation, why did she let herself engage in this futile effort?
Bai Shilan gave Ye Bingtong a calming look, then addressed the nanny, “Red Sister, it’s autumn now, isn’t Xiaoyu dressed a bit too lightly? Shouldn’t we put an extra coat on him?”
The nanny hesitated, “Xiaoyu doesn’t really get cold.”
“Children don’t know to care about the cold or heat, but shouldn’t an adult like you be more aware? If he catches a cold later, Director Li will worry again. How about this, you go to the car and get a coat just in case, and I’ll keep an eye on Xiaoyu here,” Bai Shilan said.
The nanny hesitated, “This…”
“Don’t you trust ?” Bai Shilan appeared slightly angry, “Xiaoyu has always been obedient, just sitting here without moving, and with watching, what could go wrong?”
After thinking it over and not seeing how Bai Shilan could harm the child, even though she still felt vaguely uneasy, a strange force compelled her to nod.
“Then I’ll trouble Miss Bai, I’ll be back quickly,” the nanny said.
“Go on,” Bai Shilan said with a smile.
The nanny glanced at Chen Yu and hurriedly went to fetch the clothing.
Ye Bingtong’s gaze flickered.
Was Bai Shilan deliberately sending the nanny away?
What was she planning to do?
Bai Shilan looked at Chen Yu, who had crouched down to play with the mud, and with a hint of distaste, moved her gaze away. “Bingtong, can you swim?”
Ye Bingtong nodded, “I learned from a professional coach when I was young.”
“So, your swimming skills should be quite good?” Bai Shilan inquired.
Ye Bingtong affird, her eyes beginning to flicker with understanding.
What did Bai Shilan an?
Bai Shilan smiled softly, “I saw news this morning. A child fell into a river, and soone heroically saved him. The child’s parents are wealthy, and they rewarded the rescuer with hundreds of thousands, even agreeing to have the child acknowledge him as a godfather. Didn’t that person ascend to the heavens in one step?”
This…
Ye Bingtong was dumbstruck.
She understood Bai Shilan’s aning.
And suddenly, she felt as if a door to a new world had opened before her.
She had always had her little tricks and sches, but they were just small-scale ploys.
Sothing like this… she had never even considered it!
But Bai Shilan, with her innocent appearance and tender voice, was suggesting such a plan; one that had nothing to do with her outward appearance at all.
Ye Bingtong glanced at Chen Yu subconsciously.
Is it appropriate for Bai Shilan to say these things in front of Chen Yu?
Upon further thought, Ye Bingtong realized that the child was a simple-minded mute; it didn’t matter whether he could understand or not, even if he did, he couldn’t speak.
“What do you think of this news?” asked Bai Shilan with a smile.
Ye Bingtong’s eyes glinted as she suddenly smiled, “It’s quite interesting.”
Li Mingyu’s reputation in the industry was still pretty good.
A person like that wouldn’t fail to repay his grandson’s lifesaver, would he?
She was just asking Chen Yu to play along with her in a scene.
She would rescue him in ti, he wouldn’t suffer much damage, yet it would fulfill her own needs!
Didn’t her eldest brother only help Ye Xiao?
Didn’t Li Mingyu also favor Ye Xiao?
Once she beca Chen Yu’s lifesaver,
She wanted to see how Li Mingyu would choose.
Even without the Ye Family na, she, Ye Bingtong, could make her own way.
“Red should be back soon,” said Bai Shilan.
Ye Bingtong nodded imperceptibly.
Then, she exchanged a tacit glance with Bai Shilan and together they walked towards Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was oblivious, still playing with the mud on the ground.
Bai Shilan had inquired about Chen Yu’s preferences and knew he liked various insects.
She took out a small bottle containing a colorful insect, tied a thin thread to the insect’s leg, and then placed it in front of Chen Yu.
Chen Yu’s gaze was quickly drawn to it.
Bai Shilan pulled the insect along, drawing closer to the shore bit by bit.
Watching, even Ye Bingtong started to feel nervous.
The lake wasn’t deep, and Chen Yu was just a child; there was also a lifebuoy placed by the shore just in case.
It shouldn’t be difficult to rescue Chen Yu.
Moreover, she had no choice.
Who made heaven so unfair to her?
Without finding a way, when would she ever get ahead?
If bla must be placed,
It would have to be on Ye Xiao!
She shouldn’t have co back!
She shouldn’t have stolen the affection of the Ye Family mbers.
All she was doing was trying to fight for her own future.
Under Ye Bingtong’s tense gaze, Bai Shilan had already led Chen Yu to the lakeside.
Bai Shilan gave Ye Bingtong a look, signaling her to get ready.
Ye Bingtong was a bit nervous, but also slowly walked towards the lakeside.
Not far away,
Ye Xiao watched the situation and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
So,
what exactly does this book write?
Such obvious plotting, but in the book, it turned out to be Chen Yu accidentally falling into the lake on his own.
In the na of glorifying the female lead, could they really write sothing so cruel and heartless?
Ye Xiao was starting to doubt the ntal state of the author of these books.
Of course, if it were a normal book, she probably wouldn’t have co here.
Ye Xiao glanced at the plot.
It was a critical part of the story right now; she couldn’t make any move that would interfere with the plot.
Just now she wanted to record a video, but she couldn’t even take out her phone.
She tried to rush out to stop the action directly, but that too was impossible.
The only way,
was through changing the words.
She still had a quota of three words.
That should be enough.
