Forget it.
She’ll just treat it as a bite by a dog.
Her son was already five years old so what was the use of fussing over her lost innocence?
Anyway, she only wanted to stand by Xiao Shu for her whole life and didn’t even have a plan to marry at all.
Why would it matter whether she was still a virgin or not?
Speaking of his darling nephew, Ye Xingli radiated with delight. The both of them walked and talked simultaneously, and they reached the conference room very quickly.
The conference room was jam-packed with the upper management of Star Sect and their more renowned celebrities at this moment.
Everyone was discussing about that new company director, Asterism, who had been transferred from the overseas headquarters.
The translated meaning of Asterism was ‘Starlight’.
Asterism was Star Sect’s chief songwriter—fully deserving of the name Starlight.
She had entered the industry at the age of 16, and after one year, her works had dominated global music charts annually.
During her five years in the industry, countless newcomers had exploded in popularity overnight because of her songs.
Innumerable male and female music icons invited her to create songs for them but it was a challenge to request.
People who were familiar with Star Sect all knew that Asterism was the company’s living money-printing machine.
No one mocked Star Sect’s decision to nominate her as the director—there was only envy and jealousy but no protest.
At the furthest end of the conference room, Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu were whispering to each other.
They were secretly discussing today’s key figure: Star Sect’s new director, and the future head Boss of Jiang City’s Star Sect.
From each of their resume, Asterism was the same age as Jiang Siyou and one year older than Jiang Lingyu.
However, Asterism was now worth hundreds of millions, yet the two of them had to sign a contract with Star Sect because their father had made a blunder in his decision-making which was causing the Jiang family’s company to face bankruptcy. Debuting as a pair of beautiful sisters, they wanted to carve out their own futures in the entertainment industry.
It was really infuriating to compare oneself against another person.
As they sighed and lamented on their lousy fate, the conference door opened. When they saw Ye Xingli accompany Ye Xingbei as they walked into the meeting room, the both of them were flabbergasted.
Staring helplessly, they watched Ye Xingbei stand her ground at the front head of the table as she introduced herself nonchalantly, “Hello, everyone. I’m Asterism, the new director of Jiang City’s Star Sect. In future, everyone can call me Director Ye.”
Ye Xingbei’s voice was very pleasant. It was obviously just a mellow voice, but there was a honey sort of sweetness in it. When her words fell into their ears, everyone felt a sense of comfort that they couldn’t quite explain.
But it was just this type of voice that was akin to a clap of thunder in Jiang Siyou’s ears.
The mysterious living money-printing machine of Star Palace, the Asterism who never revealed her face in front of the public was actually Ye Xingbei—who had been driven out of Jiang family in a sorry state five years ago and stranded in the streets as a homeless person?
No, no, no!
This couldn’t be!
Jiang Siyou was so frightened that her complexion turned deathly pale.
Recalling the various slanders and false accusations she had thrown at Ye Xingbei that year, her entire body trembled and her face lost all color.
She had signed a ten-year contract with Star Sect!
Ye Xingbei did not even need to target her. She only had to bury her by not giving her airtime and she would be finished!
She wanted to be famous and become a star.
Money rolled in the fastest as a celebrity and could support her lifestyle honorably.
Becoming a star could rid her of her fate of being thrown out as a marriage tool by the Jiang family.
But Ye Xingbei was actually the head boss of Jiang City’s Star Sect today!
How could she possibly have a bright future if she had to earn a living under Ye Xingbei’s control?
Her contract was grasped in Ye Xingbei’s hands, like she was holding onto her weakness. If Ye Xingbei allowed her to achieve meteoric success, she would achieve meteoric success. If Ye Xingbei let her fall from grace, she would lose all of her reputation!
She couldn’t hear anything that Ye Xingbei, Ye Xingli and the various department heads said at the moment.
She didn’t even know when those people had left the room. In the end, within the huge meeting room, only Ye Xingbei, Ye Xingli and Jiang Lingyu were remained behind.
Ye Xingbei looked at Jiang Siyou in amusement.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Siyou had actually signed a contract with Star Sect. This was a great surprise to her!
She had come to Jiang City’s Star Sect to take over in a hurry, so she only knew the gist of the company’s affairs.
Moreover, Jiang Siyou was a small fry who had just signed a contract. As a result, she wasn’t yet in the position to be reported to her.
No matter what, Ye Xingbei really hadn’t expected to meet Jiang Siyou in Star Sect today!
Observing how Jiang Siyou was already stunned from terror, she strolled in front of her and laughed cynically, “Jiang Siyou, I should still thank you for the results that I have achieved today! If you hadn’t done everything possible to frame me that year and drive me out of the Jiang family, Eldest Brother would not have discovered my astonishing talent in the field of writing and composing. Today’s world of music wouldn’t have “Music Sprite”, or Asterism.”
Staring at Jiang Siyou, the corner of her beautiful lips raised slightly, “Jiang Siyou, you are indispensable to the success I have today!”
Ye Xingbei’s every word was like an ice sword that hacked at Jiang Siyou’s heart, one after another.
Alarmed and scared, she shivered unceasingly.
She was the Jiang family’s adopted daughter.
Ye Xingbei was the biological daughter of the Jiang family.
After raising her for fifteen years, the Jiang family suddenly discovered that Ye Xingbei was the real flesh and blood of their household and hurriedly brought her back home.
She was scared that Ye Xingbei would replace her position so she tarnished her reputation and framed her many times.
When Ye Xingbei had originally returned to the Jiang family, she was ignorant of everything. Around Jiang Siyou were people who had watched her grow up as well so naturally, their feelings were biased towards her.
She did not waste much energy and as the straw that broke the camel’s back, she simply used that unwanted child from Bai Mengluan to drive Ye Xingbei out of the Jiang family in a scheme.
Originally, Jiang Siyou had thought that Ye Xingbei’s life was over for sure after being disowned by the Jiang family and having her reputation dragged through the mud.
But she had never thought that five years later, Ye Xingbei would return to the country with such a high-profile. She had transformed magnificently and actually became the world-famous Asterism.
Compared to Ye Xingbei, Jiang Siyou had become an insignificant speck of dust yet Ye Xingbei was the star on the distant horizon.
Looking at Ye Xingbei, her entire body quivered into a ball.
All of a sudden, her knees wobbled and she knelt on the floor abruptly; both her hands propping her up from the floor as she lowered her head and wept out loud, “Bei Bei, I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I know that I’ve done a lot of awful things to you in the past but I was still young then, only 16 years old… I was too young back then. I was still just an ignorant child. Now, I know my mistake. For the sake of our parents, forgive me, Bei Bei…”
