Chapter 8: The Male Lead's Grand Entrance

```Ye Xiao looked down at Ye Bingtong with a sinister smile on her lips, "It's good that you never thought about competing with me! With your capabilities, you couldn't beat me even if you tried! Without the blood of the Ye Family, you can't be a part of the Ye Family, understand?"

Ye Xiao was incredibly arrogant, even going as far as to stretch out her hand and brazenly push Ye Bingtong's shoulder!

Far from being annoyed, Ye Bingtong's eyes lit up. She quickly glanced around, then let out a surprised cry and, as if on cue, fell backward right into the arms of Ye Bolin who had just walked over.

Ye Bolin instinctively caught her.

"Big brother." Ye Bingtong was somewhat flustered, "I'm fine. Don't blame Xiaoxiao, she didn't push me that hard; it was my own fault for not standing firm."

Ye Xiao crossed her arms and smirked smugly.

That morning, due to Ye Bolin's actions, the original plot had changed.

But that didn't matter.

As the female supporting character, she still firmly grasped the core of her role!

Being arrogant and overbearing was nothing to her, as the youngest best actress of her previous life, it was a piece of cake!

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a perfectly timed fall. Worthy of the female lead, growing eyes in the back of her head. Come on, stand up for the female lead, scold me loudly.]

Ye Bolin looked at Ye Xiao with a bit of helplessness.

Ye Xiao immediately showed a fierce expression, "Brother, I did push her! So what! She's not one of the Ye Family, she's just living in our house, eating our food, drinking our water, and even the servants know to work for their keep. And her? She's less than a servant! Even if I didn't just push her, but actually hit her, she'd still just have to take it!"

[Oh yeah, perfect! My line delivery is getting stronger and stronger.]

Ye Bolin immediately felt a headache coming on; he was certain that his sister was a true split personality!

"Xiaoxiao." Ye Bolin began slowly.

Ye Bingtong immediately looked at him expectantly.

Ye Xiao snorted coldly, still with an air of arrogance.

"Don't talk like that next time." Ye Bolin said.

Ye Bingtong: "???"

Ye Xiao: "???"

Ye Xiao was completely baffled.

[Hold on, that's it? What's next? Aren't you supposed to be furious? Defend Ye Bingtong and slap me in the face! I've already presented my cheek; how could you not slap it? This makes it very difficult for me.]

"Big brother?" Ye Bingtong looked at Ye Bolin with teary eyes.

Ye Bolin said warmly, "Bingtong, Xiaoxiao has her flaws, but deep down, she's good. Don't hold it against her."

Ye Bingtong's expression changed, and she nearly lost her mind.

Is this just considered a minor bad trait?

This is what they call deep-down good?

Ye Xiao had already launched her major attack in front of her!

What happened to being the most beloved one?

A shadow flickered in the depths of Ye Bingtong's eyes.

Indeed, all the sweet words spoken by the Ye Family were fake.

Now that they had found their true daughter, she, as their daughter, was no longer important, was she?

"Big brother, I understand," said Ye Bingtong, hiding her emotions and standing firm.

"Let's go inside," said Ye Bolin.

Chen Yueyue had arranged a meeting with him; he still had to meet her later.

After all, a pregnancy was a big deal, and once confirmed, they needed to start preparing for the wedding right away...

However, thinking of Ye Xiao's inner thoughts, Ye Bolin was indeed more concerned.

No matter what, he had to check things out carefully.

Ye Xiao snorted coldly and, with an air of haughtiness, turned around and walked straight into the school gate.

Ye Bingtong bit her lip and followed after.

She still maintained a look of being wronged, hoping to gain everyone's sympathy.

But following behind Ye Xiao like this...

She inadvertently came across as a mere lackey.

As the two disappeared, the whispers around them grew louder.

"Is that Ye Xiao? She seems like a completely different person!"```

"Actually, Ye Xiao has always had a good foundation, she just didn't have the money to dress up."

"Now that I look at her, she seems even prettier than Ye Bingtong."

"What's the use of just being pretty? Ye Bingtong isn't just about looks. She is a piano prodigy!"

"Didn't everyone say that the Ye Family didn't value Ye Xiao, the real daughter from the countryside at all? It doesn't seem that way to me."

It even seemed like Ye Bolin was somewhat favoring Ye Xiao.

Otherwise, with Ye Xiao being so arrogant, he should have said a few harsh words by now.

"After all, she is his real daughter, his real sister! It seems like Ye Xiao has really soared onto a high branch."

"She just lucked out with a good birth. As I remember, aren't her major subjects at the bottom of the class? In the end, she is just bringing shame to the Ye Family!"

There were still all sorts of discussions, but compared to the one-sided mockery of Ye Xiao in the book, it was drastically different.

Ye Xiao didn't care about this.

She came here to play the role of the vicious female supporting character.

What need did a vicious female support have for a good reputation?

Of course, she was going to enjoy herself!

Ye Xiao and Ye Bingtong were classmates in the same grade, sharing their first class together.

Ye Bingtong purposely sat next to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao glanced at her.

Ye Bingtong whispered sweetly, "Xiaoxiao, our older brother wants us to get along well. I think, we are sisters after all. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know."

Ye Bingtong's voice was soft and gentle, but she was implying that Ye Xiao was not doing well and needed her help.

Ye Xiao looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and said calmly, "I do need your help, actually."

"Just tell me," Ye Bingtong quickly replied.

With her good academic performance in professional subjects and Ye Xiao just barely hanging on, as soon as Ye Xiao asked, naturally, she could help Ye Xiao with her problems. It would also let everyone see that she, Ye Bingtong, was the truly graceful and intelligent young lady.

"Oh, I'm thirsty, go pour me a cup of water," Ye Xiao said directly, passing her thermos to Ye Bingtong.

Ye Bingtong was stunned and said involuntarily, "I didn't mean that kind of help..."

"If you won't even do this small thing for me, what can I expect from you?" Ye Xiao snorted coldly, with a defiant look on her face.

Just at that moment.

The door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.

Ye Xiao looked towards the entrance.

Wow.

The blond guy appeared!

This blond guy was good-looking, otherwise, he couldn't have mesmerized the heroine to the point of losing her soul.

That's how the original book described him.

"He had rebellious golden hair, a defiant demeanor; even the small scar at the corner of his eye did not detract from his godlike handsome features."

The male lead, Pei Yue, made a brilliant entrance.

Upon seeing Pei Yue, Ye Bingtong's eyes lit up at first, then she seemed to recall something, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head, shy and silent.

Pei Yue looked at Ye Bingtong with possessive eyes, then strode over to Ye Xiao, his eyes gleaming with malice, "So you're the long-lost Miss Ye Family? I like your attitude. How about hanging out with me tonight?"

Pei Yue's playful words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Ye Bingtong raised her head, her complexion turning slightly pale.

She knew Pei Yue was trying to help her humiliate Ye Xiao, but hearing this, she inexplicably felt a little sad.

Does he... really like Ye Xiao's attitude?

Pei Yue watched Ye Xiao, her face stoic, a nasty smile curling at the edge of his lips, "Or perhaps, we can just..."

Before he could finish.

Slap!

Ye Xiao raised her hand emotionlessly and smacked him across the face.

"Slut! How dare you hit me?" Pei Yue immediately erupted in anger.

Ye Bingtong was extremely distressed, instinctively standing up and carefully touching Pei Yue's face, her eyes reddening, "Xiaoxiao! How could you bully a classmate like that!"
