Chapter 220, 2203rd Update
220:
Mu Shaoting logged into his Weibo account.
Almost simultaneously, her fans sent a message in the group chat: 【The little sister is online!】
[Oh no, is she going to address her relationship with Mu Shaowu?!]
[Could she really be Mu Shaowu's sister?!]
Wow, I've suddenly become a fan of a top celebrity's younger sister! This feeling is so amazing!
Mu Shaoting was editing a Weibo post when suddenly his phone rang.
She glanced at it; it was Li Jing.
"What?" Mu Shaoting answered the phone. "I'm busy right now!"
"I knew you were busy, that's why I called you right away. Don't send out that recording of He Han."
"No." Mu Shaoting refused directly, "I can't let He Yao get away with saying those things to Xiao Xi."
Li Jing certainly knew.
Mu Shaoting has always been protective of her own. Even someone as strong as her father wouldn't allow anyone to say a bad word about him, let alone a child like Ye Qingxi who needs protection.
“It’s not that I won’t post it, it’s just that I won’t let you post it. I’ll handle this matter. Otherwise, people will definitely wonder how you got the recording and think you really have a problem with He Han. We’re winning right now, so we need to keep things simple, not complicated. Do you understand?”
Mu Shaoting: ...
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get the recording released. If I don't release it, you can release it again, okay?" Li Jing said kindly.
“…Alright then,” Mu Shaoting reluctantly agreed.
She hung up the phone, made some minor edits to her Weibo post, and published it.
Shao Ting V: [@Mu Shaowu is indeed my brother, so what? I sing because of my voice, not because of my brother! As for @He Han, wasn't she eliminated because she had a mental breakdown after plagiarism? Did I force her to plagiarize? I didn't even acknowledge her!]
Netizens: !!!
[This is a response! She really is Mu Shaowu's sister!]
This is a really big scoop!
[It has to be said, the Mu family has really good genes; both Mu Shaowu and Shao Ting are incredibly good-looking!]
I knew she looked familiar!
He Yao's hired online trolls immediately launched an attack: "Since you've admitted to being Mu Shaowu's sister, how dare you say you haven't benefited from Mu Shaowu at all?!"
[Exactly! Maybe Mu Shaowu already made arrangements with the production team to let you win the championship!]
The staff of the "Voice of Heaven" program, busy gossiping: ? ? ?
This is a true injustice!
They really didn't know!
Mu Shaoting's fans quickly retorted: "Do you really think the internet has no memory?! Shaoting's popularity has been unmatched since the very first match; does she really need Mu Shaowu to pre-select her?!"
[Do you need to remind some people of Shao Ting's terrifying popularity and overwhelming statistics back then?!]
[The fans aren't dead yet! They're not even old yet! Stop spreading rumors!]
Netizens also chimed in, saying: "I've watched this show, and Shao Ting is definitely the most popular and strongest contestant!"
With her face, her singing, her voice, and those original songs that amazed the music scene back then, there was absolutely no need for pre-selection!
[It's less about Mu Shaowu arranging the marriage for her and more about Murong Qing arranging it for her!]
[Shao Ting's songs are still in the top ten on all the major music charts. Can you guess how they got there?!]
Ye Qingxi watched and couldn't help but feel moved. His aunt had always wanted to break free from his father's influence in the entertainment industry and forge her own path. That's why she changed her name during the competition, so that in other people's eyes she would just be Mu Shaoting, not the sister of the top star Mu Shaowu.
Now, the comments from netizens prove her success.
No one would think that her ranking came from her brother.
Everyone knows that she has excellent singing skills and outstanding talent. Even if someone maliciously misleads her, there will be passersby who will speak up for her and prove that her success has nothing to do with her brother.
His aunt must be very pleased to see this.
Mu Shaoting was indeed very pleased. She really liked this generation of netizens; they were all like gentlemen from Qingtang!
It was at this time that someone released a recording, which was then posted to a marketing account.
The person who released the recording claimed to be a temporary worker on "The Voice of China": "I used to work on 'The Voice of China,' and I happened to encounter something that shocked me, so I recorded it. Later, I was so busy that I almost forgot about it until today when He Han and Shao Ting were trending on social media, and I remembered. Shao Ting was actually wrong; He Han didn't plagiarize. The plagiarized song was one she changed the credits to steal from someone else, all to beat Shao Ting. This is the recording I made."
Netizens quickly clicked on the link and heard He Han's accusatory words: "Why did you have to copy his work of all people?!"
"The reason I asked you to create something original is because I want to beat Mu Shaoting!"
"Yang Yu, are you implying that I stole your work and deserved it?"
"If only Murong Qing weren't here!"
Netizens: !!!
Wow! This is just too much gossip to keep up with!
I feel like I can't keep up with the food!
Therefore, He Han didn't create any original songs at all. Her so-called original songs were taken from someone named Yang Yu, all to win against Mu Shaoting!
[My God, how could someone who looks so innocent and harmless do such a thing!]
Stealing someone else's work is even more terrifying than plagiarism!
How could her brother have the nerve to imply that Mu Shaoting was the reason He Han was eliminated? It was clearly He Han's own fault!
[Absolutely! The hatred she felt for Mu Shaoting in that recording was practically overflowing!]
[She even wants Murong Qing to disappear! She must be incredibly jealous that Mu Shaoting has Murong Qing as a confidant!]
[I can't stand it anymore, how can these siblings be so awful!]
He Han was both angry and anxious as she watched the online sentiment shift from criticizing her brother to criticizing both of them together.
"What are you doing? Why do you have to drag me into this!" He Han's tone was tinged with resentment.
"I was just trying to help you!" He Yao was speechless; he had no idea things would turn out this way.
"And you too, how could you leave such leverage in someone else's hands?! Can Yang Yu even write songs? You let him write them? And then you even put your name on them! Now look what happened, plagiarism and stealing other people's work, do you even want to be famous anymore?!"
"Is it because I didn't want to?! If you hadn't insisted on posting these things on my Weibo, none of this would have happened!"
After saying that, He Han walked towards her room, feeling wronged.
She picked up her phone and changed her Weibo password, not wanting He Yao to log into her account anymore.
It's all his fault!
If it weren't for her, the fact that she occupied Yang Yu's work would never have been exposed, and she wouldn't have had her last shred of dignity torn off.
He Yao didn't expect her to get angry with him over this, and said angrily, "I did it to help you!"
"But you're not helping me at all. Instead, they're making them curse at me even more!" He Han was even angrier than him.
"That's because they don't understand! These idiots don't understand anything!" He Yao was furious.
He Han lowered her head, ignoring him, and anxiously sent a WeChat message to Yang Yu.
She wanted him to issue a statement on Weibo, saying that although the work was his creation, the inspiration did come from her, so she could indeed be credited. However, she was accused of plagiarism and eliminated at the time, which caused her to have a mental breakdown, so she said she was blaming him for everything, including the creation of the song.
However, Yang Yu never replied to his WeChat messages.
He Han called him anxiously, but no one answered.
At this moment, He Han's hands and feet were ice cold.
Why aren't you answering the phone? Why?!
"Of course it's worthless," Yang Yu said casually, glancing at the caller ID on his phone.
After He Han was eliminated, he considered whether or not to break up with her. At that time, considering that He Yao was still in the entertainment industry and He Han had not signed with a company due to the plagiarism scandal, she had regained her gentleness and affection for him, so he continued to maintain a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with He Han.
But now, Mu Shaowu has declared to He Yao, "It's either him or me, it's either him or me." From now on, unless Mu Shaowu is ruined, how will He Yao ever have a chance to rise again?!
But Mu Shaowu is only 26 years old now, and he's the second young master of the Mu family. If he fails, maybe in his next life.
Therefore, Yang Yu plans to give up on He Han.
Of course, he hasn't found a suitable new job yet, so he's not ready to make things clear yet, which is why he deliberately doesn't answer He Han's calls.
Otherwise, if we accept the offer and make things clear, what if he doesn't find someone better later?
Yang Yu put down his phone and continued watching the online drama unfold.
He had disliked He Yao, the pride of the He family, for a long time, and finally, he waited until he crashed and burned.
Netizens quickly compiled a relationship diagram of the people involved in today's series of scandals.
[Mu Shaowu is Shao Ting's older brother, and He Han is He Yao's younger sister. When He Han participated in a singing competition, out of jealousy that Shao Ting had the amazing support of Murong Qing, she had someone named Yang Yu write a song and credited it to her. However, Yang Yu's song plagiarized judge Wang Huai's song, enraging Wang Huai, who berated He Han. He Han suffered a mental breakdown, lost in the elimination round, and was eliminated in tears.]
Then, Mu Shaowu and He Yao appeared together on the variety show "Look the Daddy." He Yao felt that his sister's elimination was related to Shao Ting, and coupled with his initial loss to Mu Shaowu in the house-buying battle, he kept unilaterally competing with Mu Shaowu. After repeatedly failing, he suspected that the production team and Mu Shaowu were involved in something shady.
[At the same time, he deliberately told Mu Shaowu's son, Ye Qingxi, on the show that Mu Shaowu was his adoptive father, not his biological father, thus reopening old wounds for the child.]
[After all that fuss, it turns out it's just two siblings fighting again!]
[Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoting didn't fight. It was the He siblings who started all the trouble from beginning to end. Mu Shaowu, Mu Shaoting, and Ye Qingxi are completely innocent victims!]
[Exactly! He Han's elimination can be blamed on herself, on Yang Yu, or even on Wang Huai, but why blame Mu Shaoting?!]
This is ridiculous! It's like a final exam where the person who cheated gets reprimanded but doesn't blame themselves, the exam being difficult, or the proctor catching them. Instead, they blame the top student in the class for being too good. What?!
Just then, Mu Shaowu posted a new Weibo post: [@Shaoting is my sister. Throughout the entire "The Voice of China" competition, aside from being a spectator, I did nothing, nor did I need to do anything. The audience's eyes are discerning; @Shaoting's talent speaks for itself. Even without me as her brother, she is still the brightest star.]
Mu Shaoting: ...Ugh, that's so cheesy.
However, netizens were deeply moved by what they saw.
Mu Shaowu is very good to his younger sister!
[Shao Ting, Shao Wu, I should have thought of this sooner.]
He said she was the brightest star, but he never even said that about himself!
After reading this juicy gossip today, my opinion of Mu Shaowu has completely changed!
[Absolutely! I used to think he was the kind of person with a bad temper and who did whatever he wanted, but today I discovered he's actually a good older brother and a good father, and he's also very kind to everyone around him!]
[Shao Ting's refusal to reveal that she is Mu Shaowu's sister clearly stems from her desire to avoid living in her brother's shadow, but unexpectedly, she was still exposed!]
Most importantly, she didn't even do anything! She was just sitting at home when this trouble came out of nowhere!
[These siblings, He Yao and He Han, are so annoying! They're suffering from paranoia! Why are they treating Shao Ting like this?!]
I can't even imagine how Shao Ting felt when he found out his identity had been exposed. If it were me, I'd want to blow them up!
Mu Shaoting: ...It's alright, after all, the truth will eventually come out.
So she was already prepared after the competition ended.
However, netizens don't think so.
Modern netizens value personal privacy above all else, so He Han and He Yao's revelation of Mu Shaoting's identity is simply intolerable to them!
Netizens immediately launched into an even fiercer attack, expressing their sympathy for Mu Shaoting as they cursed him.
[She didn't even invite Mu Shaowu for the final guest performance; instead, she invited her nephew, showing that she didn't want to bask in Mu Shaowu's star power at all!]
[Exactly! Mu Shaowu is so popular! If she wanted to win, would she need a pre-arranged winner? Just invite Mu Shaowu to be her guest performer; who could possibly beat her then?!]
[I knew He Yao and He Han deserved to die! They just exposed what others were desperately trying to hide! Shameless!]
Wait, if Mu Shaowu is Shao Ting's older brother, and Xiao Xi is Mu Shaowu's son, then who was the guest performer Shao Ting invited that day...?
Everyone: !!!
【No way?!】
It seems... to be her nephew!
[It seems... her name is Shao Xi.]
【Dawn?!】
[Holy crap! Holy crap! This is a whole drama!]
