Chapter 142: Chapter 119 Colluding in Crime
Luo Li looked at Pei Yue with caution, “Who are you, and how do you wish to cooperate?”
Next to Pei Yue, Ye Bingtong, who had been wearing sunglasses all along, slowly took them off.
Luo Li glanced at her and shivered all over.
He just felt that the woman in front of him was both innocent and beautiful, as if she was radiating light all over her body.
Pei Yue narrowed his eyes as he watched Luo Li’s expression.
If it had been in the past, Pei Yue would have rushed forward to fight with anyone who dared to look at Ye Bingtong with such eyes.
Because the Ye Bingtong of the past was, for him, an untouchable goddess.
Now, however.
He had only one thought. That was, this matter, it seemed, could succeed.
Even, they wouldn’t need to pay a high price.
It was the same whether Ye Bingtong served one person or two, right?
Pei Yue thought somewhat heartlessly.
A smile appeared on his face, “You might not have seen Bingtong, but you must have heard of her name.”
“Ye Bingtong?” Luo Li suddenly came back to his senses.
That name had appeared many times in Lin Yun’s nightmares.
Luo Li also knew that Lin Yun’s sudden decision to return to the country was also aimed at Ye Bingtong.
Thereby showing.
How important Ye Bingtong was to Lin Yun.
Only, it was not the positive kind of importance.
“So, you’re looking for me to cooperate in what way?” Luo Li’s gaze flickered, and he asked.
Pei Yue smiled faintly, “I heard you’ve been with Lin Yun for many years. Now, she says she doesn’t want you, and she doesn’t want you. That woman, isn’t she too heartless? Mr. Luo, I just feel sorry for you.”
Luo Li’s face began to look ugly.
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be true.
Exactly!
Even if he had done something slightly wrong, he had been wholeheartedly devoted to Lin Yun over the years, but this woman’s tactic of crossing the river by pulling out the stones was splendidly executed!
“I’ve seen Mr. Luo’s resume, and you actually graduated from a higher music college. I think that your talent is hardly inferior to Lin Yun’s! It’s just that over the years, Lin Yun has used her background to keep you by her side and suppress your talent. This has caused Mr. Luo’s name to go unnoticed,” Pei Yue said with a sigh, looking very sympathetic for Luo Li.
Luo Li’s eyes changed.
He couldn’t help but pour himself a glass of white liquor and downed it in one gulp.
The alcohol went straight to his head.
Luo Li’s face turned red as well.
Ye Bingtong spoke softly and gently, “Xiaoyun is a friend from my childhood, but when it comes to justice, I don’t spare my loved ones. I have to speak up for Mr. Luo. Xiaoyun is good in many ways, but she’s just too narrow-minded and extremely jealous. Previously, just because I beat her in a piano competition, she was so angry that she went abroad and broke off contact with me. Now, she insists on driving Mr. Luo away, probably because she is jealous of Mr. Luo’s talent!”
Luo Li looked at Ye Bingtong and felt as if he had finally found the soulmate he had missed out on for so many years.
In the beginning.
The Lin Family’s parents chose him to take care of Lin Yun partly because his mother had been a servant of the Lin Family for many years, knowing them thoroughly.
On the other hand, it was because he had graduated from a higher music college, and they thought he might share some common topics with Lin Yun.
Frankly speaking.
If the Lin Family hadn’t offered so much money in the beginning, Luo Li wouldn’t have wanted to take on a servant-like job. He was full of musical ideals, believing he could dominate the music world at any moment.
At first.
He also intended to work for a while, earn enough money, and then leave decisively.
But then.
He saw Lin Yun’s terrifying talent!
His intricately crafted compositions, he thought this time he would surely become an overnight sensation.
And then.
He saw the melodies Lin Yun tossed into the trash can.
The discarded melodies vastly surpassed his elaborate works by who knows how many times!
At that moment, he despaired.
Afterwards.
He followed Lin Yun around, witnessing the rise of a genius.
In his heart, he had always been deeply jealous of Lin Yun.
But he dared not say it out loud.
Because of Lin Yun, wherever he went in the music circle, people gave him face. This return to the country, even the boss of Yuxing Music would treat him with courtesy.
All of this was brought to him by Lin Yun.
By himself alone?
In his next life, he would still never have such status.
He gradually forgot his dream of music, focusing solely on how to control Lin Yun.
But now.
Things had suddenly changed.
Lin Yun had abandoned him.
And these two people in front of him, they claimed to believe in his talent.
Plus, he had had a few drinks.
Luo Li suddenly started to feel.
Actually!
Perhaps it was Lin Yun who had hindered him all these years!
His talent might not be inferior to Lin Yun’s!
Wasn’t Lin Yun’s nightmare Ye Bingtong?
Good.
Then he would raise Ye Bingtong up.
He wanted to show Lin Yun.
That without this woman, he could still rise to the top.
“So, we want to invite you to tailor several songs specifically for Bingtong,” Pei Yue said.
He gave Ye Bingtong a look.
Ye Bingtong understood and sat down next to Luo Li, looking at him sincerely: “I’ve always really believed in Mr. Luo’s talent.”
A stir of emotion swept through Luo Li, and he couldn’t help but place his hand over the back of Ye Bingtong’s hand.
Ye Bingtong did not refuse, but rather looked back at him with a face full of trust.
Luo Li readily agreed: “Good. Leave the songs to me, I will definitely satisfy Miss Ye! As for Lin Yun, she is now, our common enemy.”
Luo Li tightly grasped Ye Bingtong’s hand and did not let go.
Pei Yue just watched coldly.
To him at this point, Ye Bingtong was nothing more than a tool to be used, nothing more.
That night, Ye Bingtong went to the hotel with Luo Li.
Luo Li was very infatuated with Ye Bingtong; he was oblivious to the relationship between Ye Bingtong and Pei Yue, simply assuming it was his own irresistible charm that conquered the goddess at first sight, and thereafter he began to act as if he were Ye Bingtong’s official boyfriend.
Ye Xiao skimmed this part of the plot and immediately felt speechless.
How could Ye Bingtong let herself fall to this level?
In the original novel.
Luo Li had always been infatuated with Ye Bingtong.
But at that time, Ye Bingtong was always playing hard to get, and for Luo Li, she was the true goddess.
But now?
Ye Bingtong had chosen to use her body to win over Luo Li.
Such tactics might work well for a while, but they also directly reduced her to a cheap object.
The things that are too easily obtained are not treasured. Could Luo Li really remain as devoted to Ye Bingtong as before?
Ye Xiao did not think so.
The path taken by the male and female leads was getting more and more perverse.
In the original book, the cool, tyrannical, and dashing CEO and the pure and innocent female lead no longer existed.
Compared with the original book, there was only one word to sum them up.
Low!
However.
This cool yet low combination still made Ye Xiao quite wary.
In some ways, being this flexible was rather terrifying.
She wanted to continue following the plot.
But this damn book had stopped there and was continuously loading.
However.
Since Luo Li was now involved with them, the plot shouldn’t be too far away.
Next.
She needed to pay more attention to the situation of this book.
