Chapter 120: Chapter 97 The True Face

Listening to this voice, Ye Bingtong felt completely numb.

She turned around with a tremor, hoping what she heard was just an illusion.

Then.

She saw Pei Yue.

Pei Yue… really was here…

Despair washed over Ye Bingtong’s face instantly.

“Pei Yue, things aren’t what you think,” Ye Bingtong tried to explain.

Pei Yue chuckled coldly but didn’t look at her. He calmly said to Gu Cheng, “Do you really think that after your car accident, she was so deeply committed and caring, refusing to annul your engagement, and took care of you all the time?”

Gu Cheng’s heart missed a beat.

Those difficult times.

They had cemented Ye Bingtong’s position as the moonlight in his heart.

Could it be.

All of it was fake?

Ye Xiao had already read the plot and was feeling quite emotional at this point.

In the book.

Gu Cheng was the backup boyfriend over and over again—he had thought about giving up too.

But every time, just by remembering how passionately Ye Bingtong had pulled him out from the darkness, Gu Cheng’s heart would soften and he would once again be driven by Ye Bingtong.

In this life.

Though many things in the plot had changed, that experience was still very precious to Gu Cheng.

Who would have thought.

Such preciousness was a lie from beginning to end.

“Pei Yue, you…” Ye Bingtong’s heart skipped a beat, and she tried to stop Pei Yue.

Pei Yue looked at her coldly, then said without hesitation, “You probably don’t know, right? Back then, Ye Bingtong and I had already exchanged contact information. When you broke your leg, she sent me many messages.”

“She said she had a friend who had a car accident who, although had their life spared, broke both legs. If it were her, she would have preferred to die on the spot rather than be a burden to others as a disabled person for life.”

Ye Bingtong got up and grabbed Pei Yue, “Pei Yue, stop talking, let’s go home, let’s go home now!”

Panic filled her voice.

She knew very well.

As long as this filter was still there, once this was over, she could think of something else and still get benefits from Gu Cheng.

But.

If even this was clarified, then she would really have no chips left.

Pei Yue glanced at Ye Bingtong coldly; he waved his sleeves and flung her aside.

Then, he continued to lock eyes with the pale-faced Gu Cheng and went on, “She also said that in order to not disappoint her family and to maintain her facade of kindness and gentleness, she had to come to your place to keep you company. But in reality, every time she saw your broken legs, she felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit.”

Gu Cheng’s face turned even paler.

He slowly looked at Ye Bingtong.

Why.

Why be so fake.

If she really detested him so much, why not just leave outright, why feign refusal when he proposed to annul their engagement?

Why?

That’s right, he actually knew the answer, didn’t he?

Gu Cheng couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

Ye Bingtong had always been crafting the image of the good girl.

She was gentle, considerate, and kind.

How could such a person leave her fiancé after he broke his legs? So, no matter how much she didn’t want to be associated with a disabled person, on the surface, she had to pretend.

But he…
