Chapter 33: Sister Tongzi, Please Save Me!

“Ye Xiao, why did you suddenly want to make games? Also, why did you unexpectedly call me and Ye Youran to meet?”

Su Ruoxue took the opportunity to pull Ye Xiao into the elevator while Ye Youran wasn’t paying attention.

She had many questions about today’s events.

After getting off the elevator, Su Ruoxue didn’t head directly to the underground parking lot but pulled Ye Xiao down to a middle floor of the office building instead.

“Hey~ Sister Ruoxue is suddenly so concerned about me, it really makes me feel flattered. Could it be that Sister Ruoxue wants to do something strange again? Is Sister Ruoxue a perverted loli fan? Looking around here and there, how disgusting~”

“Ye Xiao, answer my question!”

Su Ruoxue cornered Ye Xiao to the dead angle of the surveillance camera in the elevator, looking somewhat impatient.

What was today supposed to be? Asking her to come help but bringing her “rival” along.

Even though her feelings for Gu Tingyuan had become quite distant, all of it was thanks to Ye Xiao’s inner voice.

In their previous meetings and conversations, Ye Xiao had said nothing. It was all the inner voice doing the talking.

“Ah… Haha… Sister Ruoxue, why so serious? Just relax a little, I didn’t mean it. The real situation is just a bit different from what I imagined at the time…”

Faced with the serious Su Ruoxue, Ye Xiao chose to tactically soften her stance.

It’s absolutely not that she was backing down—definitely not!

“So what’s the situation now?”

Su Ruoxue frowned.

“Sister Ruoxue, the waters here are very deep. Are you sure you want to continue digging into this?”

On the surface, Ye Xiao seemed indifferent and arrogant, but she was quite sensitive to some subtle matters.

From her contact with her sister after returning to the country these past few days, Ye Xiao increasingly felt that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

The original body had indeed never been asked by Ye Youran to do anything that would tarnish Su Ruoxue’s reputation.

By going through her phone, Ye Xiao found that the original body had received a suspicious text message, presumably from Ye Youran.

That text message didn’t actually reveal the sender’s identity, but the original body firmly believed it was sent by her sister, Ye Youran.

If this message was indeed sent by Ye Youran, a white lotus disguised as a cheerful older sister, even deceiving her younger sister who was willing to help her do such illegal things, then what she was showing now would be terrifying.

However, upon digging deeper, Ye Xiao realized that Ye Youran’s impression in the original body’s memories wasn’t too different.

So, who was using Ye Youran’s name to deceive Ye Xiao?

Could the original body have been so easily deceived and still manage everything flawlessly?

If Ye Youran really did this, the Ye family in Binhai City wouldn’t have that much power to use underhanded tactics to frame the young mistress of the Gu family and still come out unscathed.

And the Gu family hadn’t uncovered any so-called truth until now.

Ye Xiao didn’t believe that with the original body’s clumsy antics, Gu Tingyuan wouldn’t be able to find out the truth.

According to the original trajectory of fate, would Gu Tingyuan actually like such a vicious woman?

Was it that he didn’t want to investigate, or was it that he hadn’t looked into it at all?

Or perhaps the source of it all lay with Gu Tingyuan himself.

Ye Xiao was eager to play games and become part of the capital for this reason.

In reality, aside from the clear objective of the destined child being Gu Tingyuan, she didn’t even know who the true mastermind orchestrating this incident was.

The world of a domineering CEO wasn’t as simple as it seemed, all the straightforward and brutal storylines concealed complexities that Ye Xiao couldn’t see.

A real domineering CEO would definitely not be the mindless existence portrayed in short dramas and novel recommendations.

“Ye Xiao, do you still want to make this game? If you genuinely want to play, I have some connections in Binhai that can help you, which won’t involve Gu Tingyuan. But the premise is that you have to tell me everything you know or think.”

While speaking, Su Ruoxue tilted her ear as if trying to eavesdrop on something, but strangely, today she didn’t hear any inner voice.

Ye Xiao’s inner voice a few days ago had acted like a trigger, leading her to believe in Ye Xiao, to question and investigate what Gu Tingyuan had done.

Cornered, Ye Xiao felt somewhat at a loss. After crossing over, she hadn’t encountered a situation like this.

Could this be the legendary strange road of the mesugaki? She hadn’t had enough enjoyment as a mesugaki yet, and was she about to be punished?

“Um… Sister Ruoxue… Did you misunderstand something? What can I possibly know?”

Ye Xiao answered weakly. The temperature in the elevator wasn’t high, even somewhat low, but she felt drenched in sweat and a bit hot.

She cautiously raised her collar and shook it lightly.

Su Ruoxue revealed an expression of “I knew it”, realizing that Ye Xiao was still trying to brush things off at this point.

However, Su Ruoxue wasn’t buying it.

“Ye Xiao, you can’t brush this off today!”

As Su Ruoxue spoke, she caught a faint scent of citrus.

Although it was very faint, it was persistent. Having been in close contact with Ye Xiao a few times, Su Ruoxue knew that this scent belonged to Ye Xiao’s natural fragrance.

The fragrance dispelled much of Su Ruoxue’s inner dissatisfaction and resentment, creating a refreshing feeling inside her.

She even began to wonder if she had pushed Ye Xiao too hard.

Su Ruoxue’s expression froze, if this continued in the cramped, dark elevator, some indescribable things might happen.

Her brows slightly furrowed as she quickly dismissed the thought of letting Ye Xiao off the hook.

“Sister Ruoxue, I really didn’t want to brush you off~ I genuinely want to answer your questions seriously!”

Ye Xiao deeply realized something—that Su Ruoxue was different from Shen Yunchu.

When Su Ruoxue got serious, it wasn’t something that could be dismissed with a simple interactive chat.

[Perverted Sister Tongzi, come on and help out! Don’t keep playing dead, save me!]

[I’m coming! Ye Xiao, you really are something—when there’s a problem, I’m Sister Tongzi. When there’s nothing, I’m just a useless Tongzi!]

[Sister Tongzi, stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Otherwise, I’m going to be subjected to some indescribable things by Sister Ruoxue!]

Tongzi: ???

[Isn’t this what you’ve been looking forward to? Isn’t this good? It seems the trashy host doesn’t really need my help~]

[Sister Tongzi, be serious!]

[Eh~ Host, you are really boring ❤️ ~ I’ve already sent the floor where the trashy host is currently located to Ye Youran via text! I believe Ye Youran will be here soon, so before that, the trashy host should enjoy it, okay? ❤️]
