The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Chapter 16: Heart-breaking Stupid Brother

Xiaoyue looked away, walked past the man expressionlessly, and swiped her card to get into the elevator.

"Xingyue, is this your attitude?"

Xiaoyue paused slightly and didn't look back. It seemed that it was someone she knew, but she didn't know him at all. No matter what, she continued to get into the elevator.

The man stopped the elevator from closing, looked at Xiaoyue angrily, and said, "Come out, let's talk."

What the hell, what are we talking about? Xiao Yue was so flustered that she just stood there motionless.

"What? As your big brother, can I eat you?" The man showed sarcasm on his handsome face.

Xiaoyue was suddenly struck by lightning. It was the original owner Cheng Xingyue’s elder brother. Now it was all over. No wonder she felt that he looked familiar. He was 50% similar to her current face!

Xiaoyue moved out of the elevator slowly and refused to take another step.

The original owner’s family hasn’t contacted the original owner for at least a month, so what do they mean by coming to find him now?

Asking for money? That’s impossible. It seems like my family is very rich, so what else can I do?

Seeing Xiaoyue lowering her head and looking aggrieved, Cheng Xingyao's anger subsided a lot, and he said in a much kinder tone: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat, and we can talk while we eat."

The two of them found a fairly upscale restaurant near the apartment and sat down.

Cheng Xingyao didn't even ask Xiaoyue what she wanted to eat. He ordered on the electronic ordering machine, then looked at Xiaoyue and said, "Don't worry, we have everything you like."

Xiao Yue was speechless. Although it was the first time she met this elder brother, she could still see that he had a domineering personality, but he was not the kind of person who was unreasonable.

The meal was served, and there was a rich variety of dishes. Xiaoyue was afraid that if she said too much, it would be a loophole, so she just ate a lot, and Cheng Xingyao frowned when he saw it.

When Xiaoyue couldn't eat any more and put down her chopsticks, Cheng Xingyao, who had already finished eating, spoke up: "Xingyue, you are already 21 years old, it's time for you to be sensible. Just because your parents told you that they had arranged a marriage for you, you blocked all your family members and cut off contact. Is this what a good child should do?"

"What is a good child? Is a child who allows others to control him a good child?" Xiaoyue didn't know why she felt angry.

"Excuse me, was your marriage arranged by your family?"

Cheng Xingyao didn't expect his sister, who had been silent all this time, to suddenly ask back, and pursed her lips and said, "Of course not, I don't need it."

"Then why do I need it? Is it because you are better than me?"

Speaking of excellence, Cheng Xingyao gained confidence and said, "Of course it's because of this. I have won various innovation awards since I was a child, and I was hired with a high salary after I started working. There are many girls around me, so naturally my family doesn't need to worry about me. But you are different. You said you went to Tianyu for internship, and it was me who asked a senior to let the school recommend you. You should know that there are many arrangers in China, but few of them can really make a name for themselves. Otherwise, the entertainment industry would not be as backward as it is now. After you finish the internship and go back to school to get a diploma, it will be a problem to find a job in the future. How are you going to support yourself in the future?"

Hey, why does this big brother's words make people hate him so much? But Xiaoyue also caught a key point.

"So, my family arranged a marriage for me because they were afraid that I wouldn't be able to support myself in the future?"

"nature."

"Are you sure you didn't accept any benefits from others?" Xiao Yue thought of the bloody plot in the sweet love novel in her previous life, and she couldn't help but think more about it.

"What do you think of your parents? Except for you, most of our family members are high-tech talents. Do you need benefits from others?"

OK, it turns out that I have lowered the standard of my whole family. Xiaoyue is very angry.

However, it seems that the original owner's family is not hopeless.

"Since it's not because of benefits, then it's because of face?" Xiaoyue knew that some people liked to make arrangements for others, and they didn't accept it because they felt they would lose face.

"No, my parents wouldn't do that. You are their biological child. If they weren't busy with their research, I wouldn't have come to see you. I even put aside my plans to watch a movie with my girlfriend in order to come see you..."

The last sentence was full of resentment. No wonder he was so unhappy when he saw Xiaoyue for the first time. It turned out that he came here reluctantly.

"Haven't you noticed any changes in me?" Xiaoyue suddenly asked an irrelevant question, blinking her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Cheng Xingyao couldn't help but observe Xiaoyue. When he saw her downstairs in the apartment building, he found that she had lost weight and looked better than before. Now, taking a closer look, he could see that her double chin was gone and her facial features became more three-dimensional. The good-looking genes of our Cheng family were finally showing.

Looking at his clothes, he was wearing clothes from Xiang's family, even his bag. This bag seemed to be worth more than 60,000 yuan. When asked how he knew the price, it was because his girlfriend also had the same one, which cost him half a month's salary.

Xingyue is just an intern with a very low salary. Where does she get the money to buy these things? Could she have gone astray?

Seeing that this cheap brother's face was getting worse and worse, Xiao Yue knew that he had wrong ideas, and said: "I have passed the internship period and became an official arranger of Tianyu. The song "Green Grass by the River" ranked first on the new artist list this month is my song. Do you understand?"

I am such an outstanding person, do I still need my family to help me find a partner and support me?

"What? 'Green Grass By the River' is your song? This song is my cell phone ringtone." Cheng Xingyao's voice rose several degrees, attracting the people at the nearby tables to look over there.

He never expected that this would happen. His sister, who used to be introverted and cowardly, actually became a real arranger and achieved good results. Especially the song "Green Grass by the River", which was so beautiful, otherwise he would not have set it as his cell phone ringtone.

Xiao Yue took out her mobile phone, opened the message of today's salary and showed it to him, and said proudly: "My salary this month is 800,000 or 900,000 yuan. I also composed the popular advertising song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" and the theme song of the TV series "Fireworks" that will be broadcast soon. Do you think I can support myself?"

Cheng Xingyao was somewhat shocked. He read the message over and over again to confirm that it was not photoshopped. Then he looked away, feeling somewhat dazed.

"You've actually written so many songs? And is songwriting really that profitable?"

There was envy in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that such an outstanding person in front of her was her own sister.

I only make 100,000 yuan a month, but my sister, whom I usually look down upon, actually makes 800,000 or 900,000 yuan a month. This... is too discouraging.

Seeing this good brother, although he envied her for being rich, there was no greed in his eyes. Xiao Yue smiled and said, "This is only the first month's salary. I have a few more songs to release next month, and my salary will definitely be over a million. Do I need a man to support me?"

"No need." Cheng Xingyao said hesitantly. He didn't expect Xingyue to be so outstanding, much better than himself. You know, scientific researchers are everywhere, but creative entertainers are rare.

Now looking at Xingyao again, his domineering temperament is gone, and he looks like the stupid son of a landlord.

"So, dear brother, please go back and report truthfully. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate!"

Xiao Yue stood up, smiled slyly, and said: "Thank you for treating me to dinner, bye!"

When Xiaoyue disappeared, Cheng Xingyao came back to his senses, slapped himself in the face, and cursed in a low voice: "Xingyue should pay the bill. She has a high salary, but she eats so much. It's a loss."

Soon he laughed again. His sister had changed a lot. Even her personality had become more lively and cheerful. Most importantly, she was still so outstanding. It seemed that he should go home and persuade his parents, otherwise he would really make enemies.

Cheng Xingyao thought to himself: Alas, having such an outstanding sister is really a happy but painful worry.

Xiaoyue happily returned home carrying the shopping bags that she had left with the security guard.
