The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 135's

Xia Ling stopped in her tracks.

So the girl knew Li Lei? He didn't know how they were related, but they looked close.

Xia Ling's gaze fell onto his hand which held onto Li Lei's arm. He narrowed his eyes a little. All right, now that he's present as his official girlfriend, what will he do?

He casually picked up a glass of wine from a passing servant and walked towards them elegantly.

“... Brother Lei, when will you come to my house? The lilac you gave me has bloomed, and I asked someone to create a pavilion in my garden. When you come, we can have tea together there. “The girl looked towards Li Lei with great admiration and leaned so close to him that even her chest pressed down on him.

Even a fool could tell that he was interested in Li Lei, yet Li Lei did not move to keep his distance.

Xia Ling's anger increased within her, and she almost splashed wine on her face, but the slight rationality she had stopped her from doing so. This was Pei Ziheng's territory, and he didn't want more enemies or problems than he had .. He chanted in his head "impulsivity is the devil" and calmed down.

He went to stand beside Li Lei as if nothing had happened.

"Xiao Ling," Li Lei turned to look at him and smiled. "You came just in time. Let me introduce her to you, this is Gu Lin, the eldest daughter of Gu Financial Magnate. He is the grandson of Grandpa Gu you met before. ”

So she was the eldest daughter of Financial Leader Gu, it was a pity. Gu is a smart and wise man, how could he finally raise such a shameless and rude grandson?

Li Lei then introduced him to Gu Lin. "This is Ye Xingling. ”

Gu Lin's expression changed after hearing the introduction. In such a situation, the default rule is to introduce the lower status party to the higher status party first. Less important figures were introduced before more important figures; such a concept was definitely not new to Li Lei. But he chose to introduce her to Ye Xingling first …

He, Gu Lin, was clearly of a higher status!

Does that mean, then, that in Brother Lei's heart, that “Ye Xingling” is a more important figure?

Gu Lin's intuition made him tense. He assessed Xia Ling and realized that it was the person he had beaten up earlier, and it made him even more annoyed with Xia Ling. "You're Xingling?" He used a snobbish and fussy tone. "I think I've probably heard of you, you're a little celebrity in Brother Lei's company?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "minor". ”

"I've never heard of you," Xia Ling replied calmly and even more arrogantly than him.

He couldn't flush the red wine on his face, but that didn't mean he couldn't find another way to knock it down. He had no intention of swallowing his anger if he could find a way to deal with it in a controlled manner. Regarding taking down someone sarcastically, can anyone defeat him? He was the one who used his words to fight since he was in the orphanage, and after he entered the Pei family, he continued on with tall and mighty figures. It was even more commonly used in entertainment circles where fights and quarrels were almost a staple. He didn't have much talent, but this was one that was too good for anyone to deny.

Sure enough, Gu Lin was furious, "You .. you!" He stomped his feet and shook Li Lei's elbow, "Sister Lei, he's bullying me!" He and Li Lei could be considered childhood friends, and he was his secret admirer ever since they were children. She knew she liked innocent girls and hence refined her acting in front of her.

The Li family and the Gu family were old family friends.

Because Old Man. Gu, Li Lei couldn't do much about Gu Lin.

Not in the same industry?

Gu Lin looked at him, satisfied. "Oh, right. Little Celebrities like you have a hard time at it, in addition to your main job, you have to curry favor with everyone around you and attend all sorts of receptions to expand your connections. How can you know a great missy like me? Haha, I won't bend to your level. ”

Oh God, Li Lei didn't mean it that way.

But his words are misleading.

As they spoke, Gu Lin placed his hand on his elbow. He was thinking of moving his arm when he saw Xia Ling walking towards him in the corner of his eyes. Under the chandelier, Xia Ling walked elegantly with a glass of wine in her hands, her calm demeanor. She must have seen him holding her but pretended not to.

Was he not disturbed at all?

Li Lei was heavy-hearted, and at that moment decided to voice it out.

He deliberately let Gu Lin take his path, and left his hand on his arm. He even let her humiliate Xia Ling.

As for Xia Ling, the only problem was about Gu Lin insulting her. She had no response or reaction to the way Gu Lin held her hand or how she acted intimately with him.

Xiao Ling, am I okay for you?

He asked in his heart. To get his answer, he looked at her without a change in expression.

Xia Ling clenched her fingers, she was so close to that splash of red wine – not in Gu Lin alone at the moment, but on her and Li Lei both. This adulterous couple acted as if he didn't exist? No. She did not care about Gu Lin who did not know about her relationship with Li Lei. He had no reason to fight with his love rival, but what about Li Lei?

He was the one who initiated the relationship, why was he so close to others now?

When he saw them, his unwillingness to make a fuss and his arrogance made him maintain his calm expression. Even so, his heart was filled with memories of the past – at that time, it was also because Pei Ziheng had another woman that he kicked up a huge commotion and ended up becoming a miserable laughingstock. Now he understands this – once a man changes his mind, it is useless even if he gets rid of his love rival.

He no longer wanted to fight meaninglessly like that.

Gu Lin was still provoking him. “What, are you mute? You got no words? Is there anything else? If not, stay away from us. Can't you see I'm talking to Brother Lei here? ”

Xia Ling's clear eyes were still unperturbed. He glanced at Li Lei indifferently and walked away.

Amidst the crowd, his posture was friendly and elegant and his back was straight as he walked without caring or wanting, it was as if he would never be able to meet her again once he integrated into the crowd.

"Xiao Ling!" He called out to him, removed his arm from Gu Lin's resting hand, and chased behind him.

Xia Ling heard his call but did not stop, she continued straight ahead. Suddenly, he felt a warm and rough hand grab his elbow. He turned and looked at her. "Start!"
