Translator: 549690339

Ye Xiao heard a knock on the door.

She felt a bit of panic instinctively.

But then she thought about it.

She had been staying at home, being very good!

Ye Xiao closed the Weibo interface and cleared her throat, “Please come in.”

Ye Bolin walked in.

Ye Xiao said very naturally, “Big brother, are you done with your work?”

Ye Bolin pushed his glasses up and said, “Whether I’m finished or not, don’t you already know?”

Ye Xiao suddenly felt a bit guilty.

[What’s the situation! Did Gu Yan betray me? Did he tell my big brother about me sneaking out?]

Ye Bolin raised his eyebrows.

In fact, as soon as Ye Xiao had just gone over, he had heard all of her inner thoughts.

Even though he didn’t know Ye Xiao’s location at first, a little searching was enough to pinpoint it.

Ye Bolin could tell at a glance.

It was that bastard Gu Yan who had lured his little sister out.

One of the reasons he had come over was to admonish his sister to stay away from the many schemes of middle-aged men.

Hearing Ye Xiao’s thoughts, he suddenly had an idea.

Ye Bolin said in a gentle voice, “Gu Yan has told me everything. You kept begging him to go see the show, and since he had no choice, he took you with him.”

Ye Xiao’s pupils shook with shock!

[Sure enough, it’s the middle-aged man full of schemes, Gu Yan actually backstabbed me! Awooooo!]

In her thoughts, there was even the angry howl of Ye Xiao.

Ye Bolin was very pleased with this, “From now on, don’t go out at night with any man! If there’s anything, come to me first. Understand?”

Ye Xiao, feeling guilty at the time, obediently said yes.

Ye Bolin nodded, then continued, “There’s one more thing.”

What else could there be?

Ye Xiao became a bit nervous.

[Could it be that my big brother also knows about my secretly badmouthing the male and female leads using a dummy account just now? No, no, no, no, that shouldn’t be possible.]

Ye Bolin pretended not to hear and said seriously, “Xiaoxiao, when I told you to take over Xingguang Film and Television after graduation, I wasn’t joking. How about it, do you want to take some time to familiarize yourself with your future company?”

When Ye Bolin brought up the matter again, Ye Xiao was startled.

A huge film and television company, was he really planning to hand it over to her?

[Impossible, absolutely impossible! As a secondary character, there’s no way such a good thing would happen to me!]

Hearing this, Ye Bolin felt a pang of pain.

Their previous neglect had cast such a shadow over Xiaoxiao, she didn’t even dare to accept a small Xingguang Film and Television!

His sister deserved the best of everything.

But Xiaoxiao did not trust him at the moment, and if he pressed on, it might backfire.

This matter should be taken slowly.

Ye Bolin softened his tone and said, “Xiaoxiao. I can take care of the company’s business for you for now, but once you graduate from college, you can’t be lazy anymore.”

Thinking of how a secondary character might react, Ye Xiao impatiently said, “We’ll talk about that when the time comes.”

Ye Bolin, already accustomed to her tsundere behavior, said with a smile, “There’s one more thing. The famous director Li Mingyu, she is planning a new movie, and this time, she intends to look for a fresh new face in the campus to be the female lead. Xiaoxiao, this opportunity is very rare. If you want to develop in the entertainment industry, starting with this movie will give you a very high starting point!”

As the most famous female director, Li Mingyu had launched the careers of female leads with each movie. It was said in the industry that Li Mingyu’s lens could always capture the most beautiful side of a woman.

Even though those women she had made famous seemed less stunning after leaving her lens, the halo that Li Mingyu’s movies had left on them enabled them to live well for a good while, as long as they didn’t commit crimes or offenses.

Ye Xiao listened and couldn’t help but look at Ye Bolin with some surprise.

“In the original plot, isn’t this kind of good fortune something big brother should tell Bingtong in advance so she can prepare? How could it possibly be my turn, a supporting female character?”

In the book’s storyline, it was ultimately Bingtong who starred in that movie.

The movie featured two female leads, the other being Xiaoxiao Bai Shilan, known as the pure and innocent goddess!

This Bai Shilan was a girl with a story to tell.

In the novel where her unseen second brother played the male supporting role, Bai Shilan was the female protagonist.

Bai Shilan was a resourceful actress, backed by a patron who doted on her and raised her like a canary.

This patron was the male lead of that book.

The male lead was extremely fond of Shilan, providing her with whatever resources she wanted.

But Shilan was not satisfied as she felt that she was just a canary kept in a cage, utterly devoid of self.

So, she decided to rebel!

Up to this point, the story was still normal.

But Shilan’s method of rebellion was to pursue Ye Lin, the second brother who had once helped her.

Initially, Berlin rejected her several times, but later he was moved by her simplicity and persistence and decided to give it a try.

Just then, the patron discovered their affair.

The patron flew into a rage, unwilling to hurt his own canary, so he viciously targeted Berlin.

By that time, the Ye Family was already on the decline, and he acted even more recklessly.

Later, the movie star Berlin lost his voice to poison and his face was marred. Ever since, he could no longer continue his beloved acting career.

What about the male lead and the female lead? They continued to torment each other, and after Berlin was ruined, Shilan suddenly realized her true feelings and then, at last, she let go of her reservations and accepted the male lead.

At the time, Ye Xiao was utterly baffled.

If you want to torment each other in your love or flaunt your affections, that’s fine by me.

But if you’re going to wreak havoc, do it on yourselves, why drag innocent people into it?

The movie was already in production.

That meant, in the story of the book, it had reached the point where Shilan wanted to defy her patron and was striving to win over Berlin.

At that time, Berlin was still giving her the cold shoulder.

In order to win Berlin’s favor, when the film crew came to the school to cast roles, she strongly recommended Bingtong, hoping to gain favor with Ye Lin.

She succeeded.

Bingtong quickly became her friend and then kept brainwashing Ye Lin.

Making Ye Lin consider accepting Shilan.

Even later on.

When Ye Lin suffered a miserable fate, Bingtong and Shilan remained good friends, after all, their husbands belonged to the same alliance of interests.

As for the Ye Family?

If Bingtong could watch indifferently as her parents’ legs were broken by a brat, how could an insignificant Ye Lin be worth her concern?

“Xiaoxiao,” Ye Bolin said, “It’s rumored that both female leads in the movie are musical geniuses. One of the roles has been internally decided for the popular Xiaoxiao Bai Shilan, but you can try out for the other female lead. Do you want me to hire some music teachers for you to brush up on your knowledge in advance?”

Although it’s true.

You don’t necessarily have to be skilled yourself to play a musical genius.

But still.

If you could play a bit, that would definitely be better, right?

Ye Xiao was actually quite interested in this movie and since Ye Bolin brought it up, she had no reason to refuse.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and glanced at the script; lo and behold, Bingtong was actually eavesdropping outside the door right now.

Suddenly putting on a perfectly wicked supporting female’s expression, she spoke sarcastically, “A musical genius? Isn’t that custom-made for Ye Bingtong? Such a wonderful opportunity should be hers to take.”
