One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Luo Li’s face darkened and he said in a measured voice, “That’s the person I care about. I don’t want to argue with her.”

Still trying to maintain a public image.

Unable to hold back, Lin Yun retorted sarcastically, “I wonder how someone who can’t even write a note anymore plans to compete with me. Luo Li, since you can’t write anything, let’s meet in court then. I believe everyone is already clear about who the real genius is and who is the fake.”

The live broadcast room became instantly noisy.

“It’s clear, crystal clear.”

“Today has been quite the eye-opener. Some people are just so ordinary yet so full of themselves.”

“Can the camera focus on Ye Bingtong? I want to see her reaction. Hahaha, the song she thought was a lifesaver turned out to be Lin Yun’s discarded draft. Shouldn’t she comment on that?”

“Yeah, hurry up and interview Ye Bingtong.”

Focusing on the popularity, the camera turned back to Ye Bingtong.

Confronted by Ye Bingtong, the reporter, who had been briefed in advance, softened his tone, “Miss Ye, what do you think about this matter?”

Clenching her teeth, Ye Bingtong glanced resentfully at Luo Li before saying, “I… I didn’t know anything. Luo Li gave me the song, and I thought it was good, so I sang it. I really didn’t know it wasn’t his own creation.”

Luo Li’s lips trembled.

The next moment.

He caught Pei Yue’s warning glare.

Luo Li displayed a look of defeat and chose to stay silent.

He knew all too well just how ruthless Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong could be.

If he crossed Lin Yun, she would merely proceed legally against him.

At least there would be no threat to his life.

But with Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong, especially Pei Yue, who seemed to have some shady connections, betraying them could mean not living to tell the tale.

Luo Li regretted his choice once again.

Why had he taken this path?

Wouldn’t it have been better to just stay by Lin Yun’s side?

But remembering Lin Yun’s indifferent demeanor, he could only swallow this bitter pill himself.

“It seems that Ye Bingtong was also deceived,” the reporter said. “This Luo Li is so cunning, not only did he deceive Ye Bingtong, he also fooled so many of us before.”

Hastily, Ye Bingtong said, “Right, if I had known earlier that his song was plagiarized, I would never have used it.”

As soon as Ye Bingtong finished speaking, suddenly, a soft chuckle came through.

Ye Bingtong’s face changed color.

It was Lin Yun’s voice, still connected via video to the place.

Laughing lightly, Lin Yun said, “Miss Ye, whether you know the truth or not is of no concern to me. However, when you praised this song so highly in front of the media, were all those flattering words genuine?”

Ye Bingtong’s lips turned pale.

The online audience in the live broadcast also found amusement.

“Yeah, right. Didn’t you describe this song as being unparalleled in heaven and earth? And to think, it’s just Lin Yun’s discarded draft! All the praise you heaped on it was for a mere draft. What do you have to say about that?”

“Previously, didn’t Ye Bingtong release a lot of articles claiming she had beaten Lin Yun in a piano competition as a child, asserting that her talent was no less than Lin Yun’s? Come on then, why doesn’t Ye Bingtong compose a song on the spot?”

“I actually feel like laughing now. The song Ye Bingtong praised to the heavens was written by the very person she had belittled before. If I were Ye Bingtong, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face now.”

Ye Bingtong dared not look at the live broadcast. She managed to squeeze out a smile: “Xiaoyun’s compositions have always been very good. Unlike me, who focused solely on piano performance and never systematically studied composition.”

She would rather die than admit she was inferior to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun chuckled lightly, “Is that so? Then you must have achieved great accomplishments in piano performance, right?”

Ye Bingtong was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Alright, alright, I’ll let you be, in case you decide to ‘commit suicide’ on the spot again, I can’t be responsible for that.” Lin Yun laughed, then generously waved to everyone, “Goodbye everyone, I’m signing off now.”

“Hahaha, bye goddess.”

“Suddenly, I think Lin Yun’s tongue is as sharp as a knife. It’s killing me.”

“Instantly became a fan. Also, please release the complete version of the song you just hummed, my goddess.”

“Agree, agree. That melody is just too good.”

Lin Yun turned off the video.

The next moment.

Ye Xiao’s phone screen lit up. Ding-dong.

Lin Yun sent a message over.

“It’s Lin Yun,” Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Everyone, curious, gathered around, and Ye Xiao willingly let everyone see.

“Xiaoxiao, I didn’t disappoint you, I did it.” There was also a big smiley face.

Ye Xiao looked at it, her brows and eyes softening involuntarily.

She had thought about helping Lin Yun out by changing the writing.

But Lin Yun said she wanted to rely on herself.

At that time, the habitually worried Ye Xiao was still very concerned. She was afraid Lin Yun couldn’t handle it, afraid she might succumb to emotional turmoil.

But that didn’t happen.

Lin Yun did very well.

She overcame the world and herself as well.

“That’s wonderful,” Ye Xiao replied with a tender gaze.

Gu Yan watched the tenderness in Ye Xiao’s eyes that he had never seen before, and alarm bells went off in his heart.

Indeed, his biggest rival was this Lin Yun, huh!

“I’ll go back to the hotel first, wait for your return,” Lin Yun continued to message.

Gu Yan looked at this message, his face darkening.

Wasn’t this statement a bit too ambiguous?

Even between girls, it would be best to maintain some boundaries, right?

Gu Yan glanced towards Ye Bolin, waiting for him to say something.

Wasn’t Ye Bolin the one most worried about Ye Xiao being taken away? Now would be the appropriate time to speak up, right?

Ye Bolin inexplicably cast a glance at Gu Yan.

What kind of look was that?

He couldn’t understand it at all.

Gu Yan immediately showed a ‘you let me down’ expression.

This Ye Bolin, he’s so vigilant when it comes to guarding against him, but now he doesn’t know to guard against Lin Yun?

This world!

Are men and women really so unequal?

Gu Yan hung his head, brooding silently to himself.

Unable to help it, Ye Bolin rolled his eyes.

What is this?

The fickle old man?

Indeed, Gu Yan is not suited for his innocent and beautiful sister!

In the hospital room.

After Lin Yun logged off.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but heave a long sigh of relief.

This matter should pass, right?

Had she known that Luo Li was such an incompetent person, she wouldn’t have brought up the issue of the song!

It made things so awkward now!

Thankfully, it was Luo Li’s issue, not implicating her at all.

Ye Bingtong tried to steer the topic back on track.

She composed herself, then her eyes slowly started to moisten, “Actually, these past few days, I’ve been in a lot of pain. Every day I thought of ending my life. It was only because my agent stayed by my side that I reluctantly pushed aside those thoughts. Some things, perhaps I did wrong, but the malice from everyone has far exceeded what I should have to bear.”

Pei Yue sighed and said, “That night, Bingtong suddenly took such drastic actions against herself, if I hadn’t come to see her by chance, she might have lost her life by now. Even though she was found in time, she had to be resuscitated for a long time before the danger was gone.”

Doctor Yang also hurriedly said, “Ms. Ye’s condition was indeed very dangerous. It took a great deal of effort to rescue her from the hands of death. She is the first person I’ve seen who has been so cruel to herself.”

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

What followed in the plot.

The group of them acted in concert, allowing Ye Bingtong to show her wounds in front of the camera.

The script was written like that.
