Chapter 398 -398 Can we sort this out earlier, is that okay?
Qiao Yun returned from school and saw Lu Zhanxing sitting on the sofa, furrowing his brows in deep contemplation, appearing absent-minded, and he didn’t even notice her approaching him.
“Big Brother, what are you thinking about?” Qiao Yun asked, seeing his serious expression and thinking something significant had happened.
“I was wondering if there’s something wrong with my ears?” said Lu Zhanxing with a strange expression.
Qiao Yun observed him carefully and denied, “There’s nothing wrong; you can still hear me talking.”
Lu Zhanxing couldn’t help but laugh and cry at his sister’s literalness.
Without further explanation, he played a song for Qiao Yun.
The song was upbeat and catchy, with a strong sense of rhythm, the kind you remember after just one listen.
“Do you like it?” Lu Zhanxing asked with a hint of pride in his tone.
“It’s good,” Qiao Yun said truthfully.
Lu Zhanxing’s pride grew, “I composed this when I was fifteen just offhand, but I thought it lacked depth, so I never used it.”
After he finished speaking, he played another song, “Now listen to this one.”
After Qiao Yun listened, she slightly raised her eyebrows, the melody was the same, only the lyrics were different.
Lu Zhanxing smiled, “This is He Jianyan’s newly released single. Weird, right? It has the exact same tune as mine, and this song of mine has only been heard by our own family.”
Qiao Yun immediately understood, if only their family had heard it but it had become He Jianyan’s, then there was only…
“It was Lu Ting.”
“It seems so,” Lu Zhanxing said with an impatient look.
Seeing Lu Zhanxing’s cool and collected demeanor, Qiao Yun knew he had a way of dealing with it, so she wasn’t anxious.
Lu Zhanxing’s solution was quite straightforward and brutal, directly using Weibo to repost He Jianyan’s promotional post.
[Lu Zhanxing V: Why has the single I created at fifteen turned into yours?]
“Boom!”
It was like a thunderbolt that exploded in the entertainment industry.
Lu Zhanxing was a top-tier star, and the song he had created was published by someone else??
What kind of scandal was this?
Netizens were dumbfounded.
He Jianyan’s fans were dumbfounded.
Lu Zhanxing’s fans were dumbfounded.
He Jianyan was dumbfounded too.
Her first reaction was that Lu Zhanxing was targeting her. Her heiress temper flared up right away. Being from the same circle, she naturally had Lu Zhanxing’s phone number, so she called him directly.
Lu Zhanxing slowly answered the call, his voice lazy, “Calling to apologize?”
The man’s voice was very pleasant, but He Jianyan was in no mood to appreciate it. She contained her temper and asked, “Mr. Lu, do I have a grudge against you?”
“A grudge?”
“Then, is there a grudge between my family and yours?”
“No grudge there either.”
He Jianyan’s tone turned accusatory, “Then why are you targeting me? Lu Zhanxing, I have given you my respect, considering you are a senior, but if you insist on targeting me, I won’t hold back!”
Lu Zhanxing scoffed, “First of all, what I said is the truth. You should go and ask the person who gave you the song what they really intend to do.”
A sense of panic struck He Jianyan.
She claimed the single was her original creation, but that wasn’t the reality.
Now Lu Zhanxing had put her in a tight spot with a single phrase.
How did he know? Could it really be as Lu Zhanxing said?

The more He Jianyan thought about it, the more something felt off. After hanging up, she turned her car around and headed home.
…
He Jianyan stormed into Lu Ting’s room after getting home, the distress evident on his face as he demanded, “You told me you composed the song. Is the real creator Lu Zhanxing?”
Initially, Lu Ting wanted to appear on a variety show with her, which naturally, she was reluctant to agree to.
It wasn’t until Lu Ting presented that song, which she felt might be a hit after hearing it, that she agreed to take Lu Ting on the program.
Little did she know, she had fallen into a trap set by Lu Ting.
After seeing the post made by Lu Zhanxing, Lu Ting knew He Jianyan would definitely come to her. Without any panic and even with a hint of surprise, she asked, “Did I ever say that I originally created the piece?”
He Jianyan looked at her incredulously.
Lu Ting rebutted in a measured tone, “All I ever said to you was that I had a good song, and I asked if you wanted to listen. You were the one who asked for it.”
He Jianyan was surprised in her heart. She looked down on Lu Ting, disdainful of her background and her mother.
Now, she realized that she might have been outmaneuvered by Lu Ting.
“Besides, does Lu Zhanxing have any evidence to prove that he’s the one who made the song? Whoever publishes it first owns it, right?” Lu Ting was in no rush, watching He Jianyan grow anxious, taking pleasure in her distress.
She harbored hatred toward the Lu Family and toward He Jianyan alike.
After leaving the Lu Family, her dreams of a pampered life of luxury were shattered by He Jianyan.
He Jianyan made things difficult for her at every turn, not allowing her any dignified way out. She had endured it for so long, just for the sake of a more fierce revenge.
So what if they looked down on her? They had still fallen into her trap.
The song indeed belonged to Lu Zhanxing, but her actions were not targeted at Lu Zhanxing; she intended to tarnish He Jianyan’s reputation, with Lu Zhanxing merely being a pawn in her game.
Thinking this, Lu Ting’s tone became aggrieved, “I never expected you to publish it. You can’t blame me for that.”
He Jianyan was itching to slap her, but now was not the time to settle these grievances.
If she didn’t resolve this matter, her reputation would be utterly ruined.
…
He Jianyan descended from Lu Ting’s room with a foreboding look on her face.
She was truly in a difficult position now.
She had been careless, underestimating Lu Ting.
After giving it some thought, He Jianyan decided to hold off for the moment, waiting to see how Lu Zhanxing would handle the situation before she came up with a solution.
Following Lu Zhanxing’s statement, since there was no direct evidence, most people were skeptical, claiming that he had ulterior motives.
However, his fans continuously supported him, defending his rights.
Lu Zhanxing looked on with mixed emotions at the comments full of doubts, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and then hesitated to say anything further.
Qiao Yun thought he was troubled by the issue and spoke lightly, “Do you want my help?”
Lu Zhanxing’s gaze drifted, “No need, actually I do have evidence, it’s just…”
“Hmm?” Qiao Yun didn’t understand. If there was evidence, why not present it? She pondered why he was so troubled.
Seeing his sister’s expectant face, Lu Zhanxing sighed deeply, “It’s just that it might damage my image. Am I really going to see the persona I’ve worked so hard to build up collapse because of this?”
Lu Zhanxing loved acting, but he also had a talent for music, having written songs since he was a child.
Sometimes he wrote them in his textbooks, and at other times he jotted them down on scrap paper, leaving them strewn about, risking that someone might pick them up one day.
What he never anticipated was that those scraps would be exploited by Lu Ting.
Reflecting on this, Lu Zhanxing felt a complex mix of emotions.
Each time Lu Ting saw them, she would leverage their fifteen years of familial affection and moral obligation, but what had she actually done herself?
Qiao Yun pressed her lips together, her clear and beautiful eyes gazing directly at Lu Zhanxing, “I don’t want to see them doubting you. You haven’t done anything wrong, so why should you be the one who is criticized?”
Qiao Yun was referring to the netizens who doubted Lu Zhanxing.
Lu Zhanxing paused for a moment before his eyes slowly softened. He spoke gently, as if to comfort a child, “Then let’s resolve this early, okay?”
