Chapter 193: 170: Peculiar Species
Tong Simeng did not hesitate, and assertively said, “Actually, after living together for so long, our affection is almost no different from that between biological parents and children. While this couple hasn’t interacted with Ye Bingtong, the natural bond of blood is undeniable. Considering that Ye Bingtong returning to the countryside would certainly mean an uncomfortable life, I suggest that the Ye Family can also bring this couple over, buy a house for them on a whim, and give them a few million. Wouldn’t they be able to settle down here? In this way, even after acknowledging her biological parents, Bingtong could still enjoy her current lifestyle. Both families would henceforth be united as one, and you could gain another daughter. Isn’t this the best outcome?”
The more Tong Simeng spoke, the more she felt her idea was simply brilliant. Look, didn’t this perfectly solve the problems of both families?
Tong Simeng looked at Ye Zhaoyu with anticipation.
Such brilliant idea, she thought, Ye Zhaoyu would surely agree to it joyfully, and be grateful to her for coming up with it!
After all,
not everyone could come up with such a win-win solution.
No sooner had she spoken,
than the couple too couldn’t help but look expectantly at the Ye Family members.
A large villa!
Millions!
If it were to be the case, then there was indeed no need to insist on marrying off Ye Bingtong.
Tong Simeng’s astonishing train of thought could only seem plausible to the couple.
Ye Bingtong herself listened with a face of despair.
She didn’t know where Tong Simeng found the confidence to speak such words; did the Ye Family members still have any affection for her, she knew very well…
“Interesting,” Ye Mingcheng couldn’t help but laugh.
“Uncle, do you think this idea is good? After all, such an amount of money is nothing to you,” Tong Simeng said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation of Ye Mingcheng’s praise.
In the live-streaming room, there was now a wave of speechlessness.
“??? Is Tong Simeng a bit too damaging to common sense?”
“I’m even wondering if this is something a normal human would say!”
“The Ye Family raised Ye Bingtong in luxury, and she turned out to be an ingrate. What about Ye Xiao then? Seeing what this couple is saying now, it seems they haven’t raised her well at all! Their biological daughter suffered abuse in their home, while their daughter in the Ye Family became a pampered young lady. And in the end, they want the Ye Family to take in these people and spend money on them? If I were a member of the Ye Family, I think an uppercut would be on its way.”
“Not to mention, they definitely weren’t good to Ye Xiao. Haven’t you noticed? This couple doesn’t even dare to look at Ye Xiao; this guilty appearance… I’m afraid it’s more than just not good!”
“Tong Simeng is really interesting, always criticizing Ye Xiao. Everything Ye Bingtong has done, she glosses over lightly. Did Ye Bingtong save her life, for her to work so hard in defense?”
“Ye Zhaoyu must be deeply regretting why he ever went blind and dated such a girlfriend.”
Online public opinion was almost one-sided.
After all,
most people do have a proper sense of morality.
Ye Xiao glanced at a book.
Usually, before an event in the story officially occurs, the book would update in advance.
But this time,
Ye Bingtong’s image had crumbled so severely that the book had been in a constant state of typing, never putting out a word count.
Is this…
Going to collapse?
Ye Xiao’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
If this book were to completely collapse, and nothing could continue from it,
then,
would that mean her fate as a supporting female character had also been completely changed?
She could henceforth live her life freely and unrestrained.
At the moment, whether the book will collapse completely remains uncertain, but Ye Xiao knew that Ye Bingtong would no longer be able to jump around as before; that was utterly impossible.
As for this Tong Simeng, no matter for what purpose she had uttered these words, Father and the others are likely not going to let her off easily.
Ye Xiao just waited to watch the drama unfold.
“A very good idea,” Ye Mingcheng’s smile became even more profound, “I would have never imagined that my Ye Family’s fortunes would end up being arranged by you.”
Something about that statement sounded off.
Tong Simeng hurriedly said, “Uncle, that’s not what I meant, but this amount of money is nothing for the Ye Family, I simply believe that the father-daughter relationship is the most important.”
Ye Mingcheng’s voice was frosty, “Father-daughter relationship? The Ye Family has raised Ye Bingtong for twenty years, with no debt of gratitude left unpaid. When she previously lamented about the Ye Family mistreating her, did she even think of the father-daughter bond?”
Tong Simeng’s expression stiffened for a moment, as she quickly said, “Those were words spoken in anger…”
Ye Mingcheng coldly glanced at Tong Simeng, “You, an outsider, on what standing do you speak these words? Do today’s matters leave room for your interjection?”
Tong Simeng hurriedly looked towards Ye Zhaoyu, “Zhaoyu, I only wish for the family’s stability, I…”
“Don’t call me,” Ye Zhaoyu’s face was filled with disdain, “We have no relationship whatsoever. The matters of the Ye Family are certainly not your place to decide. If you pity Ye Bingtong so much, take her parents in and provide for them. Rest assured, if you do this, I promise not to interfere.”
Tong Simeng’s smile became rigid.
She… take people in?
The couple instantly looked towards Tong Simeng.
The woman spoke softly and gently, “I can tell, my dear girl, you’re a good person. Our lives have truly been challenging, and if possible, we don’t want Bingtong to suffer with us. Ah, but Bingtong is also a good child, once she comes to her senses, she definitely won’t abandon us. If you’re a good friend of Bingtong’s, perhaps you could help us. We don’t ask for much, just a place to live and a little allowance for living expenses.”
This couple was very shrewd.
How could they possibly extort anything from a household like the Ye Family?
Moreover, they were still feeling guilty about the matter with Ye Xiao.
People like them dared not clash with the Ye Family.
But…
This Tong Simeng appeared rather foolish and easy to manipulate; presumably, they could extort some benefits from her.
At the moment, the couple were only thinking about getting some benefits, believing that if she were a sane person, she would definitely not agree to such an absurd request. However, they could haggle, and surely gain some advantage.
Ye Zhaoyu couldn’t help but reveal a mocking expression, “Tong Simeng, was your previous performance all an act? Now that they’ve come begging to you, you’re unwilling to give even this slight help?”
Tong Simeng bit her lip in frustration!
Looking at the pitiful couple in front of her, she agreed without hesitation, “Fine! I agree, I will provide help for them. Zhaoyu, one day you’ll understand that everything I do is for you.”
Ye Zhaoyu: “???”
She actually agreed!
Ye Bingtong was stunned as well.
She looked at Tong Simeng as if she were an alien.
In this world, could there really be such an unusual species?
