Chapter 148: 125: Seeking Another Way Out

Ye Bingtong’s Weibo post didn’t name names, but every word seemed pointed.

“Miss high and mighty, please spare her”

Every word and phrase seemingly hinted that it was Ye Xiao, the Ye Family, who had orchestrated this whole farce.

Actually.

Ye Bingtong was also rather helpless.

Her style was to prefer causing trouble stealthily.

This public confrontation was not what she had in mind; tearing her face off like this wasn’t what she wanted.

However.

The situation had escalated to this point.

If she didn’t shift the blame onto someone else, she simply couldn’t manage the aftermath!

After sending out the Weibo post, Ye Bingtong was somewhat nervous herself.

Ye Xiao and the Ye Family weren’t made of mud; could they really let her off the hook so easily?

That was impossible.

After Ye Bingtong’s Weibo post went live, the trolls she had hired started manipulating the comments right away.

But.

Ye Bolin wasn’t someone to mess with either.

He looked at Ye Bingtong’s Weibo post, which grossly distorted the truth, and a cold smirk appeared on his lips.

Knowing that a smear campaign was coming tonight, how could he not be prepared in advance?

The ultimate gift for Ye Bingtong was still on its way.

As for now.

First, let’s get it straight, whether Ye Xiao and the Ye Family really did something wrong to her or not!

Ye Bolin logged onto his verified Weibo account and uploaded a recording.

The onlookers were still in the middle of a noisy discussion.

Suddenly, new drama emerged, and they quickly flocked to Ye Bolin’s Weibo page.

This recording was none other than Chen Yueyue revealing the truth.

In the recording.

Chen Yueyue spoke with pride about Ye Bingtong’s “glorious” deeds.

Listened to by the onlookers, it began to send shivers down their spines.

Holy shit.

What kind of bizarre person was Ye Bingtong?

From such a young age, she deliberately provoked Lin Yun, causing her emotional distress.

She even intentionally abandoned a kitten.

And moreover.

She had long known that she wasn’t the Ye Family’s biological daughter!

Yet she didn’t utter a word to the Ye Family; instead, she kept everything hidden. Had it not been for the accidental discovery during a school physical, the Ye Family would have been kept in the dark forever!

After dropping a bombshell.

Ye Bolin remained silent and followed up with interviews of some students in the school.

“Ye Xiao targeting Ye Bingtong has only been happening over the last few months. Before that, it was always Ye Bingtong who deliberately provoked Ye Xiao.”

“Right. She often intentionally flaunted her superiority over Ye Xiao, always pushing her into a shell.”

“And besides. What has Ye Xiao really done? At most, she just threw some sarcastic remarks. If I were in her place, rights reversed, I wouldn’t have been this restrained.”

After that.

Professor Yan stood up to speak.

“Ye Xiao stealing Ye Bingtong’s opportunity? No such thing. When Ye Xiao auditioned, it was I who recommended her. I guarantee with my years of teaching experience, Ye Xiao is a genius. The chance was destined to be hers.”

Following Professor Yan’s video.

Her former students, many of whom are now big names in the entertainment industry, also stepped forward to speak up.

A certain Best Actress: To be praised so highly by the teacher, junior Ye Xiao is indeed extraordinary. Looking forward to Nightfall.

A certain Fresh Face: Director Li Mingyu is known for her fairness. To share a funny story, I begged her for a long time for her last film, and she still turned me down.

A certain Best Actor: Rumors are just rumors, let our capabilities do the talking.

For a moment, the voices supporting Nightfall and Ye Xiao became the major force.

Ye Bingtong was somewhat dumbfounded.

What’s happening?

Have these people lost their minds?

Why are they all suddenly coming out to speak for Ye Xiao!

Pei Yue’s face darkened, “It’s normal for people from Starlight to help speak up, but it seems like Huanyu is also siding with Starlight. The Best Actor who just spoke up is a Huanyu-signed artist!”

They also underestimated the influence of Professor Yan and Li Mingyu, along with many others who are speaking out explicitly in support of these two.

Ye Bingtong’s self-pitying Weibo post had stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Ye Bingtong panicked: “What do we do now… now what?”

She cried out aggrieved: “I just casually said a few words, why do they have to persecute me so relentlessly?”

Such a massive show of support – could it not have been prepared in advance? Impossible!

Behind this, there must be Ye Bolin’s handiwork!

Ye Bingtong instantly felt resentment boiling up.

After all, they had been siblings for so many years.

Now, could he not feign ignorance and let her get through this ordeal first?

Is this supposed to kill her now?

But this was just the beginning.

Next.

A professional big shot came forward, directly authenticating that the person in the video was indeed Ye Bingtong. The expert also meticulously dissected the frames, laying out numerous details and evidence that left no room for rebuttal.

Apart from Ye Bingtong herself and the trolls she had hired, nobody was listening to her nonsense.

“Brothers and sisters, listen to me! The previous two works from the Ghost Beast Area are outdated. Now, we need a new creation!”

“Let me do it!!!”

And so, the Ghost Beast Army mobilized.

A major player provided dubbing for the tea-time chatter on Ye Bingtong’s Weibo, and these words, coupled with her scandalous video, quickly rose to fame in the Ghost Beast Area.

First came the voice of Ye Bingtong weeping.

“I don’t understand why this world harbors such malice toward an innocent girl like me.”

The scene switched.

Ye Bingtong cast a flirtatious glance: “Director Chen.”

“It was not me at all.”

The scene switched.

Ye Bingtong continued with flirtatious eyes: “Director Chen.”

“Why would you treat me like this.”

The scene kept changing.

This time, the barrage of comments filled up the entire screen in anticipation with “Director Chen.”

There was also the sound of the onlookers laughing hysterically.

Combining the music and the right moments, Ye Bingtong’s Ghost Beast video impressively defeated Bai Shilan’s long jump video that had topped the charts for nearly a month, seizing the champion spot.

Speaking of which.

Bai Shilan was actually fortunate.

Since that day, she was too preoccupied with her troubles to care about these matters, and she had not seen these parody videos related to her.

Ye Bingtong, on the other hand, was in a miserable state.

On her homepage, the onlookers had brought the Ghost Beast videos over one after another.

It was hard for Ye Bingtong to avoid seeing them even if she wanted to.

She forced herself to watch one video and only felt darkness before her eyes, nearly fainting.

How could this be happening!

She was a piano prodigy, a musical genius.

In the future, she was meant to hold sway in the music world.

Now like this, how could she still have the face to stay in the circle!

Ye Family!

Ye Xiao!

It must be them again!

Ye Bingtong felt like she was going insane.

Why.

All they had to do was keep silent, and they could’ve helped her through this.

Why did they insist on doing these things.

Did they really want to watch her die?

Pei Yue watched the situation unfold, his gaze gradually turning colder.

This time, in order to help Ye Bingtong turn the tide against the wind, he had taken out all his money to hire trolls.

With the situation at hand, it seemed impossible to turn it around now.

Should he continue to invest in Ye Bingtong?

Pei Yue’s gaze began to reveal a hint of scrutiny.

He would have been willing to do anything for Ye Bingtong in the past.

But now…

I’m sorry.

The only thing that could determine how close their relationship would be, would be mutual benefits.

“Pei Yue, what should we do now?” Ye Bingtong looked at Pei Yue in a panic.

Pei Yue responded indifferently, “Netizens always sympathize with the underdog, keep playing the victim and give it a try.”

“Okay. I’ll do whatever you say,” Ye Bingtong agreed without a second thought.

But Pei Yue said, “I’m going out for a bit to see if I can find someone to help.”

Ye Bingtong’s face changed, but she still nodded.

As Pei Yue reached the doorway, her exceptionally calm voice rang out, “Pei Yue, you have a part in my coming to this pass. Since you played a part, you’re bound to me for life.”

Pei Yue’s body stiffened for a moment.

He frowned.

Crazy.

Ye Bingtong was no different from a lunatic now.

He definitely needed to find a new way out as soon as possible.
