Chapter 127: 104: Adding Fuel to the Fire

Ye Xiao hurriedly said, “Big brother, you’re wrong to act like this.”

Ye Bolin looked utterly bewildered.

“Ye Bingtong was once considered your sister after all. This time, she has such a rare opportunity; it’s not impossible to lend her a hand,” Ye Xiao said earnestly.

This was also an interference in the plot.

But Ye Xiao waited for a while and did not receive any warning.

She couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

Indeed.

If the interference was deemed beneficial to the male and female leads, there would be no warning.

However.

Whether it really was beneficial is another question altogether.

The members of the Ye Family were all stunned.

Ye Xiao had, from the beginning, never hidden her dissatisfaction with Ye Bingtong.

And now, she was actually helping Ye Bingtong?

“Xiaoxiao, are you feeling unwell today?” Ye Bolin asked hesitantly.

“If you’re feeling unwell, you should rest early,” Du Yaru expressed her concern.

“Is it the studying that’s wearing you out? Don’t worry, if you don’t want to study, we won’t study,” Ye Mingcheng said authoritatively.

Ye Lin looked completely baffled, “Did Xiaoxiao just say she’s not feeling well?”

Why was everyone suddenly concerned about Xiaoxiao’s health?

No one bothered to explain to the fool.

Somewhat embarrassed by the attention, Ye Xiao said, “It’s nothing. I’m just simply helping her advertise a bit. By the way, it could also showcase the Ye Family’s magnanimity.”

Magnanimity my ass! How else could we raise her profile so that Lin Yun, who is far overseas, would hear about this! Lin Yun has now transformed into a top-tier music producer: summer! In the original plot, upon learning that Ye Bingtong had entered the music industry, Lin Yun dropped everything abroad and joined Yuxing Music, the archrival of Xuanjia Records. Regrettably, in the past life, Ye Bingtong had fans, as well as the backing of the Ye and Gu Families, and in the end, Ye Bingtong’s records sold big, while Lin Yun, of course, could only end in a tragic suicide. Who made Lin Yun and Ye Xiao both merely supporting characters? But this time, if Lin Yun comes back, the ending will definitely be different.

Lin Yun…

Lin Yun’s name suddenly appeared in Ye Xiao’s thoughts.

The Ye Family members paused for a moment.

They felt slightly dazed.

Back then.

Chen Yueyue suddenly exposed Ye Bingtong, claiming that the reason the Lin Family had moved away was because Lin Yun had developed depression, and to a large extent, the seemingly kind and dutiful Ye Bingtong they knew had caused it.

After learning about this.

They felt very guilty and even tried to contact the Lin Family.

However.

Too much time had passed, and the Lin Family had abandoned all their possessions to move overseas.

They no longer had anyone to apologize to.

But now.

Xiaoxiao was saying.

Lin Yun is summer!

The genius music producer now enjoying tremendous success abroad!

They were just beginning to feel some relief.

But in an instant, they heard about Lin Yun’s ultimate fate.

No matter her talent or giftedness, once she encountered Ye Bingtong, she could only meet with a suicidal end.

“Who made Lin Yun and Ye Xiao alike, both just supporting characters.”

Remembering this statement from Ye Xiao, the Ye Family members felt even more heartache.

Following the original trajectory, Xiaoxiao herself didn’t get a happy ending either.

She, Lin Yun, and even themselves, the Ye Family members, were just side characters.

As side characters.

No matter how much they shined on ordinary days, they would always lose out completely when faced with the so-called leads.

Xiaoxiao said, if Lin Yun returned, the ending this time would surely be different.

The ending this time, of course, would be different.

But they still felt a bit sad.

For Ye Xiao, for Lin Yun, and for themselves.

Xiaoxiao wanted Lin Yun to come back, perhaps seeking redemption for Lin Yun.

But what she wanted to redeem was also the herself she once abandoned.

Only by confronting Ye Bingtong and defeating her could she truly move forward and find the happy self she used to be.

Ye Bolin fell silent, then he smiled calmly, “Alright, if she wants to walk the path of music, I’ll help heat things up for her.”

The current Ye Bingtong’s reputation was notorious, and being in the limelight might not be a good thing.

But that wasn’t for him to consider. All he needed to do was to make sure the news reached Lin Yun’s ears, and that would be enough.

This was what Ye Bingtong owed Lin Yun all those years ago.

Now, she was the one who had to bear this karmic debt.

No one knew better than Ye Bolin that Ye Bingtong’s talent was far from as great as she imagined.

There were many who tirelessly honed their piano skills.

Why was Ye Bingtong alone praised by masters?

Her own strength accounted for only a small part.

Most of it was just flattery based on the Ye Family’s background.

If Ye Bingtong truly had exceptional talent, she wouldn’t just use the title of piano prodigy as bait, to gild her journey in the entertainment industry.

Instead, she would have earnestly followed the path of a pianist.

However,

Not a single person suggested that Ye Bingtong should take a professional route because they all knew very well.

The limit of Ye Bingtong’s talent was right there; she simply couldn’t embark on a professional career. She had also never been trained in composition and singing. One might say Ye Bingtong had a bit of musical talent, but compared to real geniuses, it was nothing.

And Lin Yun.

She managed to make a name for herself abroad as a Chinese person in an unwelcome environment.

Her talent spoke for itself.

If we were to follow logical reasoning, Lin Yun had no reason to lose to Ye Bingtong.

But under the spotlight of the female protagonist aura, the one who was defeated was Lin Yun.

In this life, he was blessed by the Gods and heard Xiaoxiao’s true thoughts. The plot had already deviated from its original trajectory, and even if Ye Bingtong once had that aura, it was mostly gone now.

This time, Lin Yun’s ending will likely be completely different from what was in the book.

“Then let’s go with Xiaoxiao’s idea,” Ye Mingcheng also said in a softened voice, “Berlin, when they announce the signing, help fuel the fire.”

Ye Bolin nodded, “Don’t worry.”

Having accomplished the task, Ye Xiao couldn’t help but reveal a relaxed smile, happily burying herself in her food.

She was very interested in the cold, sharp-tongued Lin Yun from the book.

Once Lin Yun got the news, she would surely return home, and then, there would be plenty of chances for them to meet in the future.

The next day.

Xuanjia Music’s official account suddenly announced Ye Bingtong’s signing.

As an established music company, Xuanjia Music had credibility, and the news stirred public interest.

Rows of question marks appeared in the official comments section!

Although Ye Bingtong had managed to maintain a mysterious aura and gained a million followers through the Ye Family’s management before her official debut and seldom appeared in public or interacted with fans,

The real active fans had completely vanished during the previous debacles.

Ye Bingtong?

The same Ye Bingtong who tried to cuckold her own brother?

The one who fought with Bai Shilan?

The Ye Bingtong disowned by the Ye Family through a public announcement?

In the eyes of casual observers, Ye Bingtong had many labels.

But the initial label of a musical talent had long been forgotten.

Such a person, rife with scandal, was now joining Xuanjia Music?

Has the company gone mad!
