Forget it.

It’s like being bitten by a dog.

Her son is already five years old, what does it matter if she’s lost her innocence?

She doesn’t plan on marrying anyway; she merely intends to live with her son Xiao Shu for the rest of her life.

Being a virgin is irrelevant now.

Talking about her beloved nephew, Ye Xingli was animated and excited. They carried on their conversation as they walked, quickly arriving at the main conference room.

The conference room was filled with the high-ranking officials of Star Palace and well-known artists.

They were discussing the Director who had just been parachuted in from the headquarters abroad, Asterism.

Asterism, when translated, means a bright star.

Asterism is the chief songwriter of Star Palace, undoubtedly its icon.

She started her career at sixteen, and a year later, her work dominated the top rankings on global music charts year-round.

Within five years of her career, countless newcomers became overnight sensations due to her songs.

The top-notched stars who pursued her for collaborations were innumerable. Her songs were hard to come by.

Anyone familiar with Star Palace would know that Asterism was its cash cow.

Even when she became the director of Star Palace, people were only envious, not begrudging.

At the back of the room, Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu were whispering to each other.

They were indeed talking about today’s focus—Star Palace’s parachuted Director, who would be the big boss of Star Palace in Jiang City – Asterism.

According to the personal profile, Asterism is of the same age as Jiang Siyou and a year older than Jiang Lingyu.

However, Asterism is now a billionaire, while they, because of their father’s poor judgment, saw the Jiang Corporation suffer hardships. They had to sign with Star Palace, debut as sister-duo, hoping to build their future in the entertainment industry.

Comparisons are odious.

As they sighed over their unfortunate fate, the conference room door opened. They saw Ye Xingbei entering the room with Ye Xingli at his side. They were dumbfounded.

They watched, as Ye Xingbei took the main seat and introduced himself in a composed tone, “Hello, everyone, I am Asterism, the new Director from Star Palace, Jiang City. From now on, you can all call me Director Ye.”

Ye Xingbei’s voice was incredibly soothing. Even though it was soft, it had the sweetness of honey. It was strangely comforting to the ear.

But such soothing voice was like a thunderclap to Jiang Siyou.

Asterism, the mysterious money-maker of Star Palace who never showed up in public, turned out to be Ye Xingbei who was kicked out of the Jiang Family five years ago and forced to live on the streets?

No, no, no!

This is impossible!

Jiang Siyou turned pale with fright.

Thinking about her past schemes and character assassination towards Ye Xingbei, she started trembling, her face devoid of any color.

She had signed a ten-year contract with Star Palace!

Even without Ye Xingbei doing anything explicitly, her career would be finished with just one move – benching her!

She yearned for fame and wanted to be a star.

Being a star brings money fast enough to maintain her lavish lifestyle.

Being a celebrity could exempt her from being discarded by the Jiang Family and used for an arranged marriage.

But now, Ye Xingbei turned out to be the boss of Star Palace, Jiang City!

How could she ever make a breakthrough working under Ye Xingbei?

Her contract is in the hands of Ye Xingbei. Like holding her vital, Ye Xingbei could bring her to heights or ruin her career!

She couldn’t hear anything else. What Ye Xingbei said, what Ye Xingli said, and what the heads of various departments said. She was heedless to all.

She wasn’t even aware when the others slowly started leaving the room. In the end, only Ye Xingbei, Ye Xingli, her, and Jiang Lingyu were left in the conference room. f reenovelkiss.com

Ye Xingbei watched Jiang Siyou with interest.

What a surprise that Jiang Siyou had signed with Star Palace; This turned out to be a pleasant surprise to her!

She came to Star Palace in Jiang city due to an urgent appointment. She had only a broad understanding of what was going on at Jiang City’s Star Palace.

As a low-profile newcomer like Jiang Siyou, it hadn’t yet been necessary to report to her.

She never thought that she’d run into Jiang Siyou at Star Palace today! 𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Seeing an utterly frightened Jiang Siyou, she slowly walked over and sneered, “Jiang Siyou, my success today is all thanks to you! If it wasn’t for your relentless efforts to frame me back then and affect my expulsion from the Jiang Family, my brother wouldn’t have discovered my amazing talent in songwriting. Today’s music world wouldn’t have the ‘Music Spirit’ Asterism.”

She stared at Jiang Siyou, the corner of her beautiful lips curling upward, “Jiang Siyou, I owe my accomplishments to you.”

Every word of Ye Xingbei was like an icy blade, cutting into Jiang Siyou’s heart.

She shook with fear and dread.

She was an adopted daughter of the Jiang Family.

Ye Xingbei was the Jiang Family’s biological daughter.

The Jiang Family brought her up for fifteen years before suddenly discovering that Ye Xingbei was their own flesh and blood, and hastily bringing Ye Xingbei back home.

Fearing Ye Xingbei would replace her, she had repeatedly maligned and schemed against Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei had just returned to the Jiang Family and didn’t understand anything. Those around her were all people who had watched her grow up from a young age, so they naturally biased towards her.

She didn’t expend too much effort using Bai Mengluan’s unwanted child to maneuver Ye Xingbei’s expulsion from the Jiang Family.

She initially thought that once Ye Xingbei was kicked out of the Jiang family and having her reputation ruined, her life would undoubtedly be over.

But she had never imagined that five years later, Ye Xingbei would return to the country in a high-profile manner, making a grand comeback as the world-renowned Asterism.

Compared to Ye Xingbei, she felt like a speck of dust while Ye Xingbei was like a distant star in the sky.

She looked at Ye Xingbei, trembling all over.

Suddenly, her knees collapsed, and she fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face. “Beibei, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry… I know that I’ve done a lot of things to hurt you in the past. I was only sixteen then… I was young. I didn’t know any better. Now I know I was wrong. Please… please forgive me, Beibei. For our parents’ sake…”
