Chapter 155: Chapter 132 The Quirky Song

After chatting for quite a while, Ye Xiao drowsily hung up the video call.

Lin Yun came back and asked, “What did you talk about?”

Ye Xiao shook her head, “I don’t know…”

Gu Yan seemed to be showing concern for her, yet at times he appeared somewhat sarcastic. However, his sarcasm didn’t seem to be targeted at her.

Ye Xiao could only conclude, “Men’s hearts are as inscrutable as the depth of the sea. Never mind him.”

Lin Yun said softly, “Mhmm. If it were me, I would never make Xiaoxiao guess.”

Ye Xiao felt awkward for a moment.

She didn’t know whether it was her problem or the world’s.

Why did she feel that Lin Yun’s words also had a hint of sarcasm?

And similarly, she didn’t know who Lin Yun’s sarcasm was directed at.

She probably had just been a bit too suspicious lately…

Ye Xiao was very good at convincing herself, and once she reached this conclusion, she instantly pushed these thoughts out of her mind.

In the following days.

Ye Xiao began to pay close attention to Ye Bingtong’s story.

However.

Chen Yueyue’s book had also been continuously updating with new plots.

This time, the two books even had a crossover.

Because in the video released by the Ye Family, it was Chen Yueyue who exposed Ye Bingtong, and the two were mocked as plastic sisters.

What’s more, the medical results of Ye Bingtong over the years had been tampered with by Chen Yueyue. When Chen Yueyue spoke of these things, it wasn’t in a tone of regret; instead, she seemed rather smug about it.

Chen Yueyue inevitably also attracted some backlash.

When Qin Mobei learned that the person he adored had undergone such an unwarranted disaster, he was momentarily infuriated.

And the result of his momentary anger, was just that, a moment of anger.

During this period, Qin Mobei simply had no time to deal with anything else.

The Chen Family almost drove him insane.

On his side, he was enthusiastically making wedding preparations, and the Chen Family realized that Qin Mobei was set on Chen Yueyue.

What kind of species was that?

That would be a prime sucker!

Ye Xiao also vaguely recognized her elder brother’s handiwork. Ye Bolin had someone agitate Chen Yueyue’s brother’s nerves, causing her brother Chen Ming’s ambition to grow wildly. Afterward, Chen Ming kicked up a fuss at home, aiming to get more benefits from Qin Mobei.

At first.

The Chen Family’s demands for money and other things were somewhat discreet.

However.

Qin Mobei was truly in love with Chen Yueyue, and he easily met the Chen Family’s initial demands.

Afterward.

The Chen Family’s appetite started to grow larger and larger.

They wanted Qin Mobei to invest and help the Chen Family make a comeback.

They also wanted Qin Mobei to arrange for Chen Ming to become a top executive within the Qin Family’s company.

Qin Mobei was able to tolerate it at first, but later on, he inevitably struggled to do so.

But every time.

When he saw Chen Yueyue’s tearful appearance and thought of their true love, he could only bear with it again.

But deep down, Qin Mobei’s resentment toward the Chen Family continued to accumulate.

As Ye Xiao followed the story, Qin Mobei had already made some moves in secret, to oust Chen Ming and ensure that both the Chen Family and Chen Yueyue couldn’t make a single retort.

The Chen Family’s incessant demands, coupled with the unabashed targeting by both the Ye Family and the Gu Family, had left Qin Mobei exasperated.

Even though Chen Yueyue got dragged into the mud with Ye Bingtong this time, Qin Mobei could only weakly threaten to send his lawyers after the rumormongering netizens on his Weibo. As for taking further action, there was none to speak of.

Qin Mobei wasn’t foolish.

This incident obviously involved the manipulation of many forces.

The Ye Family, Yuxing Music, and probably also the Gu Family.

If he insisted on getting involved and causing a big fuss, his current self was not a match for them.

This was a decision Qin Mobei made after weighing the pros and cons.

But Chen Yueyue felt deeply aggrieved. That night, she got into a fight with Qin Mobei, accusing him of not protecting her. She even said that if it were Ye Bolin, he would never let her suffer like this.

Qin Mobei absolutely couldn’t stand the mention of the name Ye Bolin, and for the first time, the true lovers erupted into a fierce argument.

Now the two of them were in a state of cold war.

The most pitiful ones during their cold war were the employees of the Qin Family.

According to the description in the book.

First, the temperature at Qin’s plummeted, leaving everyone feeling like they were shivering.

Then Qin Mobei went on a rampage, berating people left and right. By the end of the day, more than a dozen employees had their wages docked.

In the evening, all the employees were dragged into working overtime—of course, without any overtime pay. After all, with the Qin Family under such pressure, Qin Mobei was not willing to spend on overtime.

The employees of the Qin Family were all displaying their confusion with baffled expressions.

No way.

Just date if you want to date, why drag us hardworking folks into it?!

Of course.

In the end, they were true lovers. According to the book’s plot, they made up after only a few days. Then Chen Yueyue started visiting the company again, and the two of them began their next round of public displays of affection.

The description in the book.

The employees were all very happy about this.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but show her confused face as well.

This book really dares to write such things!

If she were an employee at Qin’s, she’d probably just curse in her mind non-stop, “Crazy!”

While Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue were slowly digging their own graves, Ye Xiao didn’t waste her chance to change the characters, letting them continue to stir up trouble for a while.

Two days later, late at night.

That’s when the book with Ye Bingtong’s story released a new segment of the plot.

The plot roughly described:

Luo Li had tailored an emo song for Ye Bingtong. She had already recorded it and planned to release it immediately.

After releasing the song and resonating with some people, she planned to continue with her sad act, faking a suicide attempt to land in the hospital.

Over the past two days, Pei Yue had been networking for her, and the investment behind the scenes had promised to provide some support for Ye Bingtong.

Ye Bingtong figured that once she got out of the hospital, no one would slander her anymore.

She could also take the chance to release a new album!

And a crucial part of this opportunity was the quality of the song.

The song Luo Li wrote had to be emo enough to evoke empathy from the public, so Ye Bingtong had the chance to gain sympathy.

In the plot, Luo Li had already given the song to Ye Bingtong.

It was said.

After professionals had seen it, they all gave the song extremely high praise.

But how Luo Li had written the song was not described in the book at all; it only mentioned that Luo Li had secluded himself for two days and came up with a song that amazed the professionals.

Ye Xiao began to harbor some doubts.

Could it be that Luo Li truly had some musical talent?

If someone like him had such talent, why would he meekly follow Lin Yun for so many years? He would likely have become arrogant long ago.

His many years as a loyal assistant only proved that besides this one thing, he was incompetent at everything else.

The arrival of this song was very mysterious.

And the book deliberately employed a Spring and Autumn writing style, providing very limited information.

Even Ye Xiao had to wait for the song’s release to see what was really going on.

Her personal guess, favoring the original plot unfolding in a different way, was that Luo Li, just like in the original book, had stolen Lin Yun’s work!

In the book, Lin Yun was wrongly accused and unable to defend herself, eventually choosing to end her life.

The Lin Yun of this life was much stronger than the one in the book. Moreover, she had Ye Xiao’s support.

The original book’s plot would not unfold again.

Just at this moment.

The song was released.

It was precisely midnight, and Ye Xiao had been fighting sleep, not daring to doze off.

The moment the song was released, she quickly clicked to listen.
