Ye Ying's first reaction was that Ming Yuechen was joking.
But it seems... the other party is not the type who likes to play around.
Ye Ying was silent for a moment and said, "I don't quite understand."
"You just didn't think that way." Ming Yuechen said a name, "Do you remember why Zhao Liang approached you?"
Under Ye Ying's stunned gaze, Ming Yuechen straightened up and said, "I am no different from him. I want to use you to increase my popularity. This is my purpose."
It was dinner time, and students from the practice room not far away came out to eat in the restaurant. Seeing the two people standing by the window, they couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that outstanding people love to play with outstanding people.
But the atmosphere between the two was not as relaxed and pleasant as they had imagined.
Ye Ying was silent for a moment and then said, "Brother Ming, although I don't know why you say that, I don't believe it."
Not to mention that Ye Ying didn't believe it, I'm afraid that no one who knew Ming Yuechen would believe it.
As his name suggests, if Ming Yuechen were placed in ancient times, he would be a handsome young man in the turbid world. His elegant and refined temperament is not something that everyone can imitate. How could he say such a thing? Even if they heard it with their own ears, they would first doubt whether there was something wrong with their ears.
Ye Ying: "You are not that kind of person."
"How well do you know me? How dare you say that I'm not that kind of person?" Ming Yuechen asked back.
Ye Ying was speechless. He was not particularly familiar with Ming Yue Chen. It was only because of their relationship that they would chat a few words every time they met. But to be honest, he knew nothing about Ming Yue Chen's family and experience.
but……
"You are Brother He's friend." Ye Ying said, "He is very smart and would not make friends with the wrong people."
Ming Yuechen's lips twitched, and he said softly, "Few people praise him for being smart. If he heard it, he would probably be very happy."
Seeing Ye Ying still staring at him stubbornly, Ming Yuechen finally put away his unpredictable attitude, leaned leisurely on the windowsill, and asked leisurely: "I'm going to tell you a story, do you want to listen?"
Ye Ying took two steps forward and leaned against the window side by side with Ming Yuechen.
Ming Yuechen: "Actually, I'm very rich."
Ye Ying: “…”
For the first time tonight, he began to doubt whether Ming Yuechen was really playing tricks on him.
Seeing the boy's expression, Ming Yuechen couldn't help but speak out. This time, Ronghe was different from before, and he looked much more real: "I'm not lying to you. Ming Zongyang, the helmsman of the Ming Group, is my biological father."
"But it was no use. I came out when I was four."
Ye Ying's expression changed slightly and she turned to look at him.
Ming Yuechen has a pair of beautiful red phoenixes that many stars would envy, with the tails naturally extending upwards, and an indescribable charm in them. People with this type of aura usually have a strong aura, such as the well-known Guan Erye and Wang Xifeng. But Ming Yuechen has always left people with the impression of being elegant and gentle, perhaps because of his usual style of speaking and doing.
But when Ye Ying stood beside him and looked at the boy's profile, she found that his nose was unexpectedly straight, and with his slender eyes, there was almost a sharp and cold meaning in it.
"My mother, Le Wei, was a daughter of the world. She was the only precious daughter of my grandfather. He raised her in the palm of his hand and spoiled her into a naive and ignorant woman who had no ability to survive on her own."
Ye Ying had an inexplicable feeling that if Ming Yuechen had not been concerned about the identity of his biological mother, he might have replaced the word "woman" with "fool".
"It was an old-fashioned clan marriage. They got together. But Ming Zongyang didn't like the style of the little white flower, and soon found someone else. When my mother found out, she had no choice but to cry. She didn't even have the courage to divorce - after my grandfather passed away, Ming Zongyang was her only support. If Cuscuta didn't rely on others, she wouldn't have a chance to survive."
"Ming Zongyang brought his concubines back to the main house, his illegitimate son. Everyone soon discovered that the mistress was a weak and vulnerable person, so my mother and I became the most humble people living in the house."
Ming Yuechen remembered those days clearly. The concubine made things difficult for him all day long, his brothers who were of the same blood as him teased him maliciously, the middle manager and the servants were indifferent and indifferent... Although he lived in a huge garden villa, he could not even wear a new piece of clothing of his own, and was only allowed to wear the clothes that his brothers had given him and discarded.
But even at this point, those concubines were not satisfied. Because no matter how excessive they were, Le Wei was the mistress of Ming in law, and her son was the eldest son of the Ming family, and would inherit most of the shares of Ming Group in the future.
So they said to Le Wei, "Go find Ming Zongyang and tell him that you are willing to give up your son's inheritance rights. If you can do that, you and your son will have a better life in the future, and you will have a lot of money. But if you can't do that, I will make sure you can't stay here anymore!"
If you are smart, you should know that the right of inheritance is something that you must never give up. Kelewei had already become a frightened sheep, and did what they said without saying a word. Not only did she give up her son's inheritance rights, she even came up with a wonderful way to please the concubines - she took the initiative to change her son's name to show her humble and gentle sincerity.
"My original name was Mingyue, which comes from 'The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment across the world' - at that time, Le Wei lived in her fairy-tale princess world, and the name she gave me was also poetic. But later she fell into reality, so she added the word 'Chen' after my name - which means to kneel down and submit, to tell those people that we are willing to listen to all arrangements and will never dream of fighting for things that do not belong to us."
"But that's her."
Ye Ying was slightly shocked and saw Ming Yuechen's expression gradually becoming sharper.
"Why should I give up everything that originally belonged to me? Why should I be willing to be a bride for others?" He sneered, his narrow tail picking out a strong mockery, "Those greedy and stupid women, those fat and useless 'brothers', just living in this world is a waste, how can they deserve me to bow down to them?"
It should be extremely contradictory for a boy with an elegant and handsome appearance to say such harsh and vicious words, but there is an unspeakable charm in him, as if the bright moonlight quietly revealed another kind of enchanting color that no one has ever seen, which makes people tremble with fear in their hearts, but at the same time, they can't help being strongly attracted.
When Ming Yuechen proposed to leave Minghou, everyone thought he was crazy.
"Even if you can't inherit the shares, get along well with your brothers, and they won't treat you badly in the future!" Le Wei's face turned pale with anxiety, and she pulled her son and said, "Where can you go if you leave Ming? How can you live alone?"
"Those who can only survive by relying on charity from others are not human beings," said four-year-old Ming Yuechen, "They are stray dogs on the street."
This was a clear mockery of his biological mother. Le Wei's face turned pale and he sadly let go of his hand.
Several younger brothers also had expressions of watching a good show on their faces: "Big brother, if you can't make it out there, you can come back. I will give you a bite to eat!"
Ming Yuechen didn't answer and left.
He doesn't need others to remind him of some things and he will get them by himself.
At the age of four, Ming Yuechen signed a contract with Fenghua Entertainment, and thus stepped into the world of fame and fortune. Money, status, power, reputation... all his ambitions and desires here were a ladder to help him achieve his goals.
After four years of dormancy, he debuted at the age of eight. In just two years, the boy has become a rising star that cannot be ignored by Dragon Entertainment. When the company's seniors see him, they all sigh that young people are formidable, and other trainees also respectfully address him as "Ming Ge" with eyes full of envy and admiration.
But for Mingyuechen, this is just the beginning.
He wanted a high enough position, a great enough reputation, and strong enough power to fight against the behemoth called the clan. To achieve this, he could use any means and use anyone or anything to get what he wanted.
"The project 'Dream Maker' has been in the works for a long time, and the group that is finally released is bound to be a big hit. I thought my only opponent was He Xizhou, but I didn't expect someone like you to pop up."
Ming Yuechen is not worried about the debut issue, but the final ranking determines the commercial value of the members. The potential benefits and advantages brought by the C position are far beyond comparison with other positions.
Ming Yuechen’s goal has always been to be the center.
His strength was not inferior to He Xizhou's, but the other party's qualifications and realm were advantages that he could not make up for. Besides, Ye Ying, who showed up in the middle of the game, completely disrupted his plan and even caused him to drop out of the second ranking.
But when the threat appeared, Mingyuechen also saw an opportunity.
"Although I hate having my plans disrupted by you, I have to admit that you have a very special temperament." Ming Yuechen turned sideways, revealing a slightly playful expression on his face again, "Li Jingfei's strength is true, but he lacks a competitive spirit. He was not a threat to me - but why did his ranking go up?"
Ming Yuechen lowered his head slightly, looking at the boy like a cat: "It's because of you, Ye Ying."
In this circle, in addition to luck, the most important thing to become popular is to learn to read the situation. In this era of traffic supremacy and people's carnival, a role that is hard to come by, a sophisticated and pleasing personality, and a "cp" that occupies the right time and place and makes people unable to stop, can make an unknown person turn over and rise to the top overnight.
Zhao Liang’s choice was not wrong, he was just too stupid.
But Ming Yuechen is a smart man. As long as he wants, he can create a perfect character, create a series of heart-beating and ambiguous coincidences without any trace, and even just use a few fake gods to make those innocent and lovely girls on the screen faint.
Ye Ying is not a naive person, but because of He Xizhou's relationship, she seems to trust him. He can use the boy to his heart's content, squeeze out his value and step on him to get to the top; if he is a little more evil, he can do something in the second public dance, just slightly change a few movements, and Ye Ying's center position will be in name only.
He is not some handsome and elegant young man.
He is just ambitious through and through.
"Do you think I'm a good person now?" Ming Yuechen put his arms on the windowsill and looked sideways at the boy's expression, as if to see if he was not scared by him.
Ye Ying was silent for a moment, and then said, "I now believe what you said is true."
Ming Yuechen paused.
"But if that's the case, these feelings would be contradictory." Ye Ying looked up at him, her expression calm and her eyes clear. "Since you want to use me, the 'Feng Qing' dance should be a perfect opportunity, but you have been avoiding me. Why?"
Ming Yuechen paused slightly and turned his eyes away indifferently.
"You could have said nothing and made up a few excuses, but you chose to tell me your intentions. Why?"
"Brother Ming, you are not rejecting me." Ye Ying said softly, "You are rejecting yourself."
Ming Yuechen's expression remained unchanged, but if you looked closely, you could see that the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, gradually forming a stiff arc.
"You may... have bad intentions." Ye Ying gestured with her hands and suddenly said, "But you are just bluffing. You are too proud to do that."
Ming Yuechen is indeed ambitious, but he is also a gentleman. He refuses to lower his head even though the word "Chen" is deliberately added to his name. He left his clan at the age of four because he didn't want to live a humiliating life under the yoke of others. How can such a proud person be compared with Zhao Liang?
Ming Yuechen, who has no bottom line, cannot do it. Even though he has had some dark thoughts driven by desire, he is ultimately unable to carry them through to the end.
So he approached Ye Ying deliberately, and developed resistance and disgust towards himself when they met, so that in the end he simply gave up on himself and told everything, deliberately exaggerating and describing himself as very bad, as if he would really feel relieved if he was labeled as a bad guy and scolded.
After figuring out the twists and turns, Ye Ying couldn't help but sigh with emotion and couldn't help but say, "Brother Ming, you are so cute."
Ming Yuechen: “…”
He never expected that after telling everything honestly, he would receive such an incredible comment. The boys who looked at him numbly began to doubt whether the other party's brain was broken.
"Really. Actually, I've always been a little scared of you because you look too much like a fake person." Ye Ying said, "But now I see you look very real. It's impossible for a person to be perfect, right?"
"Desire and ambition are not shameful, and your ability is worthy of your ambition." Ye Ying looked at him very seriously, "You will be very famous in the future, Brother Ming."
Ming Yuechen felt a little confused by the gaze of those eyes.
He had already lost his composure tonight, he knew it. He had never told anyone about those past experiences, and He Xizhou hadn't told anyone, he didn't want to, and there was no need to tell anyone. He told Ye Ying on impulse just now, and it was indeed, as the other party guessed, a kind of self-punishment of self-abandonment.
He wanted too many things, but he foolishly and stubbornly clung to certain things. Every step he took was like walking on a tightrope on a cliff; no matter which side he fell to, there would be no return.
He didn't need anyone to understand him, nor did he need anyone to agree with him. He had already made up his mind to go down a dark path, so when he ran into someone who could see through his disguise, he was caught off guard. For a moment, he felt like he was naked and someone saw through him. He felt embarrassed, flustered, and annoyed. It was a terrible feeling.
Ming Yuechen remained calm, thinking about how to handle the situation when the boy next to him suddenly came over, opened his arms and gave him a gentle hug that was not too tight.
Ming Yuechen's pupils trembled slightly, and for the first time, an unexpected expression appeared on his face: "You..."
"Although I can't completely empathize with you, I've also been very sad." Ye Ying's voice was very gentle, "Many people have encouraged me in this way, and I think it's very useful."
Ming Yuechen paused, and his tense limbs gradually relaxed. Finally, he allowed himself to lean his weight on the boy and slowly closed his eyes.
"……Thanks."
He never let down his guard or showed softness to anyone, but trying it once in a while... seemed like a good idea.
There were faint footsteps in the dim corridor, and then they stopped. Ming Yuechen opened his eyes and patted Ye Ying's back with his fingers: "Although I appreciate your comfort, if I don't let you go, I might go crazy."
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw He Xizhou looking at them expressionlessly.
The other person's expression was surprisingly calm, but Ye Ying inexplicably felt that the air pressure around him seemed a little low. He Xizhou didn't look at him, but said coldly: "Ming Yuechen, you'd better give me an explanation."
Ming Yuechen has regained his leisurely demeanor: "Don't be so anxious to get angry, no one will compete with you for it."
He gently pushed Ye Ying on the back. Ye Ying seemed a little worried and looked back at him hesitantly.
Ming Yuechen looked at him gently and nodded: "Go."
He Xizhou seemed unwilling to let it go. He frowned and wanted to say something, but Ye Ying stopped him in time and dragged him away by the arm.
Ming Yuechen watched the two people's backs as they left, smiled slightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and walked into the dark night.
Beautiful things are certainly attractive, but the moon cannot give them warmth.
so……
Let him follow the light.
