Chapter 157: Chapter 134: Third Brother, Ye Zhaoyu

Pei Yue, through a female tycoon, had already paved the way with a private hospital that would provide Ye Bingtong with fake medical documents.

But.

If they wanted to garner enough sympathy, they had to fake it a bit.

Ye Bingtong was afraid of pain and didn’t dare to really cut her wrists, so Pei Yue found her a professional makeup artist, who spent a lot of time applying special effects makeup to her wrists.

The special effects makeup was very realistic; even from a close distance, it was almost impossible to tell there was any trick.

It was convincing enough to sell a tragic story in front of the cameras.

After all.

The netizens couldn’t exactly reach through the screen to touch her wounds, right!

This simulated wound, along with the treatment record from a well-known doctor, was enough to deceive everyone.

After preparing the fake wound.

Pei Yue boldly called for an ambulance.

Then, he specifically arranged for someone to capture the footage of Ye Bingtong being pale-faced and carried onto the ambulance.

This time.

They were determined to fight a beautiful counterattack!

Luo Li also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ye Bingtong had asked him to compose a song within such a short timeframe.

How could he possibly compose anything?

Fortunately!

He had secretly collected all the discarded sheet music from Lin Yun’s previous subpar compositions.

Although these pieces were cast aside by Lin Yun, once taken out, they were still outstanding works.

The best part was, even Lin Yun herself probably didn’t remember these abandoned drafts.

Even if she did remember, she wouldn’t be able to provide evidence to prove it.

Even if Lin Yun stepped forward now to accuse him of plagiarism, he could easily refute it.

Luo Li suddenly felt rather smug.

Why hadn’t he thought of this brilliant idea sooner!

With these drafts in hand, even if he couldn’t become a top-tier composer like Lin Yun, making a name for himself in the industry would be a piece of cake.

Making a name for oneself was much better than being an assistant!

Once Ye Bingtong’s reputation improved.

He would pick some of the songs Lin Yun didn’t want and give them to Ye Bingtong to sing.

It might not make Ye Bingtong an overnight sensation, but it would allow her to have her own name in the music world.

Soon.

The video of Ye Bingtong being carried onto the ambulance spread.

Related press releases came flooding in instantly.

“Ye Bingtong suspected of being unable to bear online exposure, attempted suicide, and was sent to the hospital; her life and death are currently unknown.”

“Ye Bingtong first releases an emo song, then chooses suicide. The song is suspected to be a farewell to the world.”

“Ye Bingtong blackened, chooses suicide to prove her innocence.”

“Online exposure becoming increasingly unscrupulous, hoping Ye Bingtong’s incident can promote online cleansing.”

“The Ye Family and Ye Xiao, are they truly that innocent? If not driven to utter despair, who would choose such a dead-end path?”

Press releases came raining down.

The melon-eating netizens were suddenly stupefied.

The implications of these messages suggested that they, the onlookers, had driven Ye Bingtong to her end?

Alluding to the Ye Family and Ye Xiao being the ones who, with their power, pushed Ye Bingtong to a point where she could no longer live?

Heaven forbid!

If other criticized celebrities sometimes faced unjust accusations, Ye Bingtong’s list of incidents wasn’t wronged by anyone!

She kept insisting she was framed.

But why didn’t she produce any evidence!

Yet, she had nothing to show for it!

And suddenly everyone was bullying her?

The onlookers only felt as if a huge pot had inexplicably fallen from the sky onto them.

But.

Upon hearing that she had attempted suicide, the melon-eating crowd, although feeling aggrieved, actually did restrain themselves a bit.

The result was that online, the voices cursing Ye Bingtong suddenly dwindled significantly.

Ye Bingtong, seeing this, felt even more convinced of the effectiveness of this method.

So, not long after.

Pei Yue appropriately released news that Ye Bingtong was in critical condition and still in emergency treatment.

By the way, they also attached the hospital’s emergency rescue form.

The doctor who performed the rescue on Ye Bingtong was quite famous.

Everyone was suddenly looking at each other.

Ye Bingtong’s skin is so thick, she doesn’t seem like the type to be so fragile, does she?

But since things had gotten to this point, most people chose to mute their microphones.

Ye Bingtong was still not satisfied with the outcome.

She had gone to great lengths, and naturally, she wanted to maximize her advantage.

The next day.

Ye Bingtong’s side released more news.

They said that after a whole night of emergency treatment, Ye Bingtong had finally escaped life-threatening danger. Moreover, regarding this incident, once her health improved a bit, Ye Bingtong would hold a press conference in three days.

The story paused here, without further updates at that point.

But Ye Xiao could guess.

This so-called press conference was nothing more than Ye Bingtong’s pity party, where she might just sling all sorts of filth at the Ye Family and herself.

Ye Xiao just wanted to scoff.

The last person who insisted on holding a press conference was Chen Yueyue.

Chen Yueyue’s outcome was not very good.

But it was clear Ye Bingtong hadn’t learned a lesson from it. She wanted to play the victim? Well, let her try then.

As soon as the news of the press conference was announced.

Li Mingyu made a special visit to Ye Xiao: “Xiaoxiao, we’ve been making good progress recently, much faster than anticipated. Why not take a few days off? ”

“Director Li, there’s no need, I…” Ye Xiao instinctively wanted to refuse.

Li Mingyu said, “You don’t need to worry about the progress. I can film some scenes with supporting characters first, and we can continue with the lead’s scenes when you come back. Some matters just have to be dealt with thoroughly.”

Obviously, Li Mingyu was referring to the issue with Ye Bingtong.

If this matter wasn’t resolved thoroughly.

Ye Bingtong surfacing now and then was indeed frustrating.

Ye Xiao thought about it and decided not to refuse anymore: “Alright, I’ll go home and handle things. Once they are sorted out, I’ll be back.”

“There’s no rush,” Li Mingyu said. “Our progress is way ahead of schedule.”

Li Mingyu was considerate, and Ye Xiao didn’t take it for granted.

This time, she had to cut through the mess swiftly and resolve things quickly.

Then she could concentrate on filming.

With the time off, Ye Xiao left the crew and went back home.

Right as she arrived at the front door of her house.

Ye Xiao paused a moment.

At the doorstep, she ran into two unfamiliar people.

One of them.

With bleached blond hair, a stern face, from head to toe embodied the words: “Defiant to the end!”

Beside this person, there stood a lively and cute girl with a baby face, appearing very harmless.

Ye Xiao’s gaze met the man’s.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, realizing who it was.

She had seen the family photo; this person in front of her was unmistakably her third brother, Ye Zhaoyu, whom she had never met.

The girl beside him…

Without a doubt, was third brother’s silly, sweet girlfriend, Tong Simeng.

She was thinking.

How to find time to visit her third brother’s club, to make some alterations to the script.

But then.

Her third brother had actually returned home?

“Ye Xiao?” Ye Zhaoyu looked at Ye Xiao, slightly raising his eyebrows.

Being intensely involved in training, he seldom had the chance to pay attention to outside affairs.

But he had grown familiar with the name Ye Xiao, incessantly mentioned by family members.

In their mouths.

Ye Xiao was beautiful, kind, pure, cute, intelligent, and wise, seemingly without a single flaw.

Ye Zhaoyu had become curious about this sister.

Finally, he was meeting her in person.

“Third brother,” Ye Xiao sighed.

[Poor third brother – he had abandoned nearly everything for his esports dream, and who could have predicted he would end up ruined by Tong Simeng.]
