Chapter 144: Chapter 121 Heartache

In the hour that Ye Xiao was filming, Ye Bingtong and Pei Yue had already persuaded Luo Li, who produced the so-called scandalous video of Lin Yun.

Now.

Luo Li, holding the video, was in conversation with the owner of Xuanjia.

If no changes were made to the plot, Xuanjia’s owner would undoubtedly be convinced, followed by various marketing accounts releasing the video of Lin Yun’s episode simultaneously. Trolls would join the fray, slandering both her and Lin Yun, and the Anye Production Crew.

Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes.

If she were to make changes now.

She could directly prevent this from happening.

But.

Even if it were stopped this time.

Enemies would still be enemies.

The Anye Production Crew had become too prominent, causing even Xingguang Film and Television, which had always been lukewarm, to catch fire. No one wanted the film circle to add another top predator.

The situation was the same for Yuxing Music. Yuxing was already a leader in the music industry, and with Xuanjia, they could be said to dominate their respective halves. However, now, Yuxing had Lin Yun.

With substantial capital and Lin Yun’s talent, the future might no longer be a shared dominion, but an exclusive reign.

Therefore.

Xingguang Film and Television and Yuxing Music each had quite a few enemies.

If their plan this time was suppressed.

Soon, there would be a second and third attempt.

By then.

Her twenty opportunities to change the script might not last long.

Ye Xiao scanned the plot, her pupils deepening.

If they wanted to play, then let it be a big game.

Just this one time, she wanted to scare them enough to never want to play again!

As for the content of the book, Xuanjia Music had already acquired this scandalous video and was coordinating with various marketing accounts, selecting eight o’clock in the evening as the precise time to release the joint statement.

Today happened to be the weekend.

Eight o’clock in the evening was also the time of day with the highest traffic.

Many marketing accounts and trolls were ready, just waiting for the time to strike, to guide public opinion immediately, determined to drag Lin Yun into a hopeless plight.

Regarding Lin Yun’s “scandalous” video, there was such an exchange between Luo Li, Ye Bingtong, and Pei Yue.

At that moment.

Ye Bingtong, after seeing the video, was somewhat disappointed.

She stated.

From this video, one could only tell that Lin Yun had a rather volatile temper, which indeed is a blemish, but it is not a fundamental flaw. Just this video alone was unlikely to completely take down Lin Yun.

Luo Li, having followed Lin Yun for many years and knowing her well,

confidently claimed that this video was indeed not major scandalous material and would at most provoke some mockery.

If it were someone with a strong psychological resilience, they would hardly be affected. After all, in this circle, talent talks. As long as Lin Yun continued to deliver great works, these things could be attributed to a sort of haughty artistic temperament, and might even attract followers who admire the strong.

But.

It required the targeted person to have a tremendous psychological bearing to remain unaffected.

And what about Lin Yun?

She already suffered from a severe emotional disorder; just a slight agitation… and she would go crazy. With the right manipulation, ruining Lin Yun entirely wasn’t impossible.

Hearing such analysis from Luo Li, Ye Bingtong showed a broad grin, feeling that her efforts to win over Luo Li were totally worth it.

She and Pei Yue also took out all their money to hire a large number of trolls, planning to muddy the waters and whitewash Bingtong in the chaos.

Ye Xiao, seeing the shameless schemes of these people, couldn’t help but feel sad for Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had trusted two people.

One was Ye Bingtong, the other was Luo Li.

And it was these two people who conspired to ruin her life.

Especially Luo Li.

After Lin Yun was hurt once, it took a lot of effort for her to trust someone again.

All these years, it could be said that it was entirely because of Lin Yun that Luo Li achieved a class transition.

But when he betrayed her, he didn’t hesitate at all.

Lin Yun was really miserable.

After so many years, she still hadn’t met a normal person.

Although it’s true,

with her around, she definitely wouldn’t let these people’s schemes succeed.

But when Ye Xiao turned her head to look at Lin Yun, she couldn’t help but feel some heartache.

Lin Yun tilted her head slightly.

Seeing Ye Xiao seemed to be lost in thought earlier, she had not spoken to avoid disturbing her.

Now that Ye Xiao was looking at her, she revealed a gentle smile and immediately handed over the thermos cup she was holding, “Xiaoxiao, have some water.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes showed even more heartache as she took the water cup, took a small sip, and sighed inwardly.

[Ah, my poor Xiaoyun. She probably just wanted to throw a small tantrum by driving Luo Li away. But how could she know that Luo Li has now readily sided with Ye Bingtong and even plans to use her illness video to completely ruin her. He had secretly taken many videos of Lin Yun, and he only needs to trim them and guide public opinion a bit to easily portray her as a temperamental person who mistreats her assistants. Xiaoyun has not had any episodes since returning to the country, but if Luo Li succeeds, she would likely find it difficult to avoid becoming ill again. Moreover… this is a betrayal by the person she loved most. How can Xiaoyun’s heart bear it!]

Lin Yun’s expression changed a bit.

She suddenly realized.

It was possible that Ye Xiao wasn’t just daydreaming before.

Daydreaming might just be an outward manifestation when she foresaw the future.

But right now, what she cared about wasn’t what Luo Li had done.

It was Ye Xiao’s words.

“Betrayed by the person she loved most.”

Loved most?

Luo Li?

He is not worthy!

Lin Yun wished she could immediately tell Ye Xiao, that right now, she was the most important person to her.

Besides her, no one else could harm her.

Luo Li was far from qualified!

Lin Yun was about to address this point and offer some explanation.

Ye Xiao said softly and gently, “Xiaoyun, have you been feeling down lately?”

[Can her mood be good? It was also my negligence. Recently, Xiaoyun has always wanted to sleep with me, which must be because she’s upset and needs someone to accompany her. At eight o’clock tonight, that Luo Li is going to send the video over. I absolutely can’t let Lin Yun suffer a second injury! Xiaoyun is at her most vulnerable right now, and if she found out what Luo Li has done, she would surely be very sad. I need to keep it from her for now and comfort her slowly once everything is resolved. For the time being, I should prioritize spending more time with Xiaoyun.]

Lin Yun’s eyebrows moved slightly.

The words of explanation reached her mouth but turned into something else. Her face instantly showed a downcast expression, “I don’t know what’s wrong, recently I just feel inexplicably unhappy. Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry, am I too dependent on you and causing you too much trouble?”

“Of course not,” Ye Xiao quickly responded, “It shows that you treat me as a friend. I’m honored to be relied on by you.”

“Thank you, Xiaoxiao,” Lin Yun said, full of gratitude, “Other than you, I really have nothing else here.”

As Ye Xiao listened, she felt even more heartache and leaned in to gently hug Lin Yun, “I will always be with you.”

Lin Yun’s entire body stiffened up.

The fragrant and soft Xiaoxiao…

Who wouldn’t love her?

It seems that Luo Li wasn’t entirely useless after all.

The more he acted like a scoundrel, the more Xiaoxiao would feel sorry for her.

Lin Yun stealthily took out her phone and took a photo of Ye Xiao hugging her, planning to find an opportunity to “accidentally” let Gu Yan see it.

Today’s shooting with the crew went smoothly, and they finished the day’s filming by five o’clock.

After a simple dinner, Ye Xiao returned to her hotel room and began modifying the script.
