Chapter 186: Chapter 163: Getting Back on Track
“It seems there are no disagreements with the outcome of this composition competition,” a reporter commented from the hospital ward, his tone slightly mocking as he observed Luo Li’s expression.
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.
