Chapter 249 Birthday Gift
Yunzhi has not responded.
The system asked cautiously.
[Host, are you moved by what Ye Chengyan has done for you? Later, Ye Chengyan established a welfare organization in the name of accumulating good karma for you and Tongtong, donating hundreds of millions.]
"What's the point of doing all this when people are dead? It's just to move the living. Ye Chengyan's actions only make me feel hypocritical." Yun Zhi said expressionlessly. If she had been lucky enough to see this scene in her previous life, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist slapping Ye Chengyan a few times even as a ghost.
Even though she's dead, Ye Chengyan still won't let her go, using her as a pawn. It's disgusting.
The system breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
It's actually afraid of the system's "love brain" flaring up.
Yunzhi chatted with the system for a while and learned about the events that happened in her previous life. She glanced at the time and saw that it was almost time for the concert, but Cheng Shuyan had not contacted her yet. She looked puzzled.
Cheng Shuyan won't stand her up, will she?
Really? Cheng Shuyan has never stood me up in either of his two lifetimes.
Yunzhi took out her phone to call Cheng Shuyan, but no one answered the first call. She frowned and her mood plummeted. The system offered a few words of comfort, but Yunzhi couldn't muster any interest. She slumped on the sofa, looking completely dejected.
On the other side, after being rejected by Yunzhi, Ye Chengyan returned to the Ye family villa with an unfriendly expression. Ye's mother had already returned to the old house, but Yu Baisu was still shamelessly staying there.
"Ayan, you're back." Yu Baisu had just come out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit when she saw Ye Chengyan walking in. The fruit plate in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the fruit rolled all over the floor. She looked at Ye Chengyan in a panic, and her hands instinctively went behind her back, like a child who had done something wrong.
Seeing Yu Baisu's timid and hesitant demeanor, Ye Chengyan became even more irritated. He glanced at the fruit scattered on the ground and spoke in a less than friendly tone.
“You’re not a servant in this house, so you don’t need to wash the fruit. I bought you a house in Jinzhu, and you can move in this afternoon. Don’t come here unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
When Yu Baisu saw that Ye Chengyan had finally returned, he immediately told her to move out. Her face paled, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls. "Ayan, what did I do wrong? You're making me move out. I'm scared to be alone..."
Yu Baisu's voice was choked with sobs, and tears streamed down her small, delicate face, making her look utterly pitiful.
Seeing her pale face and swaying body, looking as if she couldn't accept it, Ye Chengyan's heart softened a little. After all, she was his former white moonlight, and he still felt some pity for Yu Baisu.
“The security in Jinzhu is very good. I have already arranged for someone to let you join the crew. You are staying here without proper authorization, which will affect your reputation.”
"Do I still have a reputation?" Yu Baisu sat on the sofa with her eyes vacant, like a rag doll. She covered her eyes with her hands, tears streaming down her face. Her shoulders trembled as she wept silently.
If Yu Baisu made a big fuss, Ye Chengyan wouldn't think much of it, and might even find it troublesome, strengthening his resolve to make her leave. But the way she sat there silently crying made Ye Chengyan's heart feel like it had been poked by something, a sour and swollen feeling.
"What happened at the banquet that day..." Ye Chengyan was halfway through his sentence when Yu Baisu paused in her crying. She looked up, wiped away her tears, and spoke in a hoarse voice with red eyes.
“I know, Ayan. I will pretend nothing happened. You and I are both victims. I don’t blame you. I never wanted to use this to force you to give me an identity. I just want to live here and take care of you and Xiaoze. Since I have already caused you trouble, I will leave.”
Yu Baisu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Ayan, I have a house. I don't live in Jinzhu. I know you don't want to see me right now, so I'm leaving."
As she spoke, she turned around and staggered towards the outside.
Yu Baisu knew exactly how to manipulate Ye Chengyan. Although she said she was leaving, she deliberately slowed down her steps as she turned to leave, and even counted down in her mind. Just as she reached the door and counted down to 1, Ye Chengyan called out to Yu Baisu with a conflicted expression.
"Fine, you can continue to stay here with me for the time being." Yu Baisu acted so pitifully, neither arguing nor fighting, like a small white flower standing on the edge of a cliff.
Where Ye Chengyan couldn't see, Yu Baisu smiled smugly. She knew Ye Chengyan wouldn't let her leave; she just needed a little more time.
She gently stroked her belly with one hand, and when she turned around, her face showed confusion and bewilderment.
“Ayan, I… I should leave. If I stay here, your mother will keep pressuring you to marry me, and you won’t come back. You’ve been staying at the company all this time, and because of this, people online are speculating that the situation at Ye’s is very serious, so you’ve been staying at the company every night to deal with it. I’ve already caused you a lot of trouble. Actually, I should have left a long time ago.”
Yu Baisu did not stay after hearing Ye Chengyan's words.
Ye Chengyan frowned even more deeply. He was aware of the rumors circulating online. Although they had caused some impact on the company, he wouldn't stoop so low as to blame Yu Baisu for it.
Ye Chengyan's prejudice against Yu Baisu, which stemmed from the chaos of that banquet, had vanished. Seeing how considerate Yu Baisu was of him, Ye Chengyan thought to himself.
The chaos at Grandpa Ji's birthday banquet was not caused by Yu Baisu; she was also a victim. If anyone should be held responsible, it should be Bai Weiwei. These past few days, he has been taking his anger out on Yu Baisu, making her uneasy. He's a real jerk.
Although Ye Chengyan will not marry Yu Baisu, he still feels a little pity for her.
Especially after the initial anger subsides, her pity for Yu Baisu will gradually deepen.
"It's alright, you can stay here." Ye Chengyan strode up to Yu Baisu, grabbed her wrist, and forcefully made her stay.
Yu Baisu's thin lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself, "But, but..."
"No buts, I'll talk to Ye Ze about it." The more Yu Baisu wanted to leave, the less Ye Chengyan wanted her to go.
Yu Baisu nodded obediently in the end, and Ye Chengyan was finally satisfied.
Just then, Yu Baisu saw the concert tickets that Ye Chengyan had casually placed next to the shoe cabinet. She walked over, picked up the tickets, and looked at the time and place on them. Her eyes darted around, and the next second she turned around, looking at Ye Chengyan with a mixture of excitement and shyness. "Ayan, is this a birthday present you gave me?"
