The Rebirth of a Diva

Episodes 10

He laughed . That was all Lu Tao wanted.

He glanced at Lu Tao's shining eyes and felt his emotions lift. People in the industry thought that Xia Ling was arrogant and difficult to please. Few understand that he is only picky and arrogant to those who are ignorant. To those who truly had a passion for the entertainment business, who were willing to work hard to succeed, he showed respect and admiration towards them.

Unfortunately, this type of person is very few and rare.

Fortunately, this big boy in front of him could be counted as one of them.

“Xia Ling has an MV called 'The Deadly Ravine'.” She raised her head slightly to look at him, revealing her beautiful jawline and a few strands of her hair flowing in the light autumn wind. "The director used slow motion there, the movement is very clear."

“Oh, you learned it from MV Xia Ling.” Lu Tao commented knowingly. "No wonder! I never watched the MV. The dance is too coquettish, I don't like .. I don't know she knows how to do windmills either." Lu Tao scratched his head, turned around and ordered the two boys behind him. "Hey, when you come back later, buy me one of Xia Ling's CDs. I want the one with that song, 'The Deadly Ravine'."

The two boys looked like they were about to cry. "Sister Lu, look at this crowd. How are we gonna get out of here?"

Looking around, Lu Tao realized that they had somehow been surrounded. Fans on the left and right all held white daisies. Looking ahead, he was unable to see the end of the crowd. Whether it was moving forward or backward, it would be a challenge.

"Damn it," Lu Tao muttered in annoyance.

Xia Ling smiled bitterly. Right, he did not have to worry about making the decision to stay or leave the ceremony now. The crowd around him had already made a decision for him.

The background music faded and the memorial service began.

The quality of Imperial Entertainment events has always been high. It was the same for this memorial ceremony. Location, settings, music, explanatory explanations, video clip options. . Everything down to the smallest detail is perfect. Even the invited guests present were specially selected. There were not many of them, but they were all influential people. In addition to some of the big names in the entertainment industry, there are socialites from various businesses and important political figures.

Xia Ling stood in the middle of the crowd and felt the irony of the situation. Didn't Pei Ziheng think that she was low and not good enough to marry him? Why would he choose such influential people to come attend his memorial after his death?

He was aware that these people were all here because of Pei Ziheng. They had no ties or relations with Xia Ling.

In his past life, he was too self-assertive and evil, insulting everything he had come into contact with. If not for the fact that Pei Ziheng was so powerful, he had guessed that no soul would have attended this memorial. It would be even more shocking if they did not clap and celebrate.

“Xia Ling has many friends.” Lu Tao commented ironically at this moment, his face full of envy. "Look, there are so many influential people. If there was such a party on my death anniversary, I would definitely rest in peace."

Xia Ling did not know how to respond.

“You don't want that, boss.” One of Lu Tao's companions said with a disapproving look. "Xia Ling died a terrible death, you don't want her, do you? I heard that it was terrible, the blood was on the floor, his brain problems were flowing out …"

"Bleah, stop cursing me," Lu Tao stuttered furiously and looked at the boy.

His friend smiled and remained silent.

His friend smiled and remained silent.

"That being said, how exactly did Xia Ling die?" Lu Tao raised his head to look at the live broadcast screen, his hands under his chin, thinking hard. "His death was so sudden and mysterious. Even if there was a blackout on stage, logically, with a safety barricade, it was somewhat unlikely that he would fall by mistake... Do you guys think he could be killed? Someone wanted to kill Xia Ling on purpose? "

Xia Ling nodded in agreement.

Of course it was murder. The concert was the 10th anniversary of his debut. When the power outage occurred, she sang the last encore song alone on stage. However, another person suddenly appeared on the stage in the darkness, stabbing his heart from behind and pushing it off the stage. He did not even have time to feel pain before falling to the ground.

If anyone sees his body, they will find out the truth.

Surprisingly, he has been dead for more than a month now and many fans asked Imperial Entertainment to announce the cause of his death. However, Imperial Entertainment only mentioned that it was an accidental death, or possibly a suicide.

They never mentioned the possibility of murder.

16 Years .

From the time he was 12 and adopted by Pei Ziheng until his death at the age of 28. All 16 years. In these 16 years, he has given her love, trust, and adoration that are not nurtured. However, in the end, he still would not seek justice for her.

Xia Ling felt her heart turn cold from sadness. It is easy to guess who the culprit is – even though he has offended many people, but the only family that hates him enough to have a motive to kill him, as well as the power to execute it, is obvious. It was the Wang family, Pei Ziheng's fiancee family.

Xia Ling felt her heart turn cold from sadness. It is easy to guess who the culprit is – even though he has offended many people, but the only family that hates him enough to have a motive to kill him, as well as the power to execute it, is obvious. It was the Wang family, Pei Ziheng's fiancee family.

But he chose to cover it all up.

Wh why? He can't not think. Was it because of the Wang family's respectful status? Not like his. Despite being an entertainment industry diva, earning a lot of praise, in the eyes of this wealthy family, she was merely an actress. A cheap life. Dead and nothing more.

He felt a sharp and unbearable pain in his heart for a split second.

"You're Xingling, Ye Xingling?" Lu Tao called out to him.

He lifted his head weakly and said, "What's the matter?"

“I should have asked you that,” Lu Tao reply. "I've been calling you for a while and you're ignoring me. You look so pale, you're not gonna get sick, are you?" As he spoke, he extended his hand to his forehead, intending to feel his body temperature.

He slightly turned his head, avoiding his hand. "I'm fine . "

"Very?" He took back his hand but looked at her suspiciously. "Say if you feel unwell. Even if I had to kill everyone our way, I would still make sure to get you out of here. If something happens to you, I won't answer for it . "

“I'm really fine.” The sadness in Xia Ling disappeared slightly with her words. He then asked again, "What did you call me?"

"Ah ..," said Lu Tao. "I ask you to look at Chu Chen. Look, she was Xia Ling's manager when she was alive. I hear he's the best manager in the entire industry. Whaddya think? Does he look very competent? I wonder who he will be responsible for after Xia Ling's death. Rumor has it that everyone at Imperial Entertainment is struggling to have it for themselves. "

He looked at the big screen and saw Chu Chen.

"Ah ..," said Lu Tao. "I ask you to look at Chu Chen. Look, she was Xia Ling's manager when she was alive. I hear he's the best manager in the entire industry. Whaddya think? Does he look very competent? I wonder who he will be responsible for after Xia Ling's death. Rumor has it that everyone at Imperial Entertainment is struggling to have it for themselves. "

He looked at the big screen and saw Chu Chen.

Chu Chen was wearing a completely black suit with a white flower brooch on his chest. With a grim expression on her face, she said, "Xia Ling's death may be due to an accident, or it may be suicide. I am very sad and full of reproach. The doctor had told me a long time ago that he was suffering from severe depression. I didn't take good care of him enough. I think because he's in treatment, nothing bad will happen … "

Xia Ling was stunned as she stared at the person on the screen, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Ha, depression. Really joke.

They found the perfect reason.

Xia Ling did not believe that Chu Chen did not know the true reason for his death. Chu Chen was highly valued at Imperial Entertainment. He was Pei Ziheng's most trusted confidant and had a close relationship with Xia Ling. He had no reason not to know the knife wound on his body.

But he chose to remain silent.

He was a true businessman, never realizing who the real boss was. Even if he had taken very good care of her before, it was only because she was his real boss's toy. Only he naively thought of her as his friend.

Xia Yu was right. Many of those who treated him well only did so because of Pei Ziheng.

Then, he looked at Xia Yu.
