The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 137's

Facing Li Lei's question, Xia Ling could not answer him.

Personal wounds and fester too deep and too severe. Even if she was his girlfriend, he could not reveal it to her. Xia Ying turned her head to avoid her probing and whispering eyes. “Yes, I'm not feeling well. ”

He knew right away that he was lying.

However, he did not dare to expose it. When he met Gu Lin now, the way he had firmly turned around from her was still lingering in his heart. She was afraid that if she pressured him into telling the truth, their fragile relationship would fall apart. How exactly did Xiao Ling like him? He does not know . He only knew that he seemed to have a lot of secrets in his heart, and it was probably related to Pei Ziheng. Every time he met the man, including now that they were in his territory, he always looked a bit strange.

His love rival was close, and he did not dare to provoke her at all because he did not want to risk the chance of losing her.

Therefore, he forced a smile, pretended nothing had happened, and said, “Aren't you feeling well? Then we should go back. ”

Leave conference. They had to leave this dangerous conference which made him have to be constantly on guard.

Xia Ling nodded.

Both are in the back garden. As they traced their footprints and returned to the reception room, the release of "The Caged Butterfly" was over. The neatly dressed violin quartet once again played a melodious tone.

The men and women in the hall were in pairs, and many people were dancing on the crowded dance floor.

Xia Ling followed Li Lei and walked through the crowd. Suddenly, a girl walked up to them. She had long curly hair, wore a beautiful dress, and had a peacock brooch on her chest. It was Gu Lin. He looked at Xia Ling unfriendly before turning around to give Li Lei a sweet smile. "Sister Lei, where are you going now? I've been looking for you everywhere. ”

When "The Caged Butterfly" was released, Li Lei had brushed off Gu Lin to chase after Xia Ling. This caused Gu Lin to feel annoyed and also reinforced his belief that the vexing female relationship with Brother Lei was unusual. The woman was probably just her concubine, how dare she compete with aristocrats like her? Gu Lin's fighting spirit increased, and he vowed to chase Xia Ling away from Li Lei.

He pulled Li Lei's arm towards him again. "Sister Lei, can you dance with me?"

This time, Li Lei was more obedient and did not want to make the same mistake at all. He removed his hand from his arm and said, “Lin Lin, sorry, I can't dance with you. Xiao Ling was not feeling well, so I had to send her home. ”

Whahuh? Li Lei was a big boss, yet he had to send that obnoxious woman without any status or background of the house ?!

Gu Lin became annoyed. “My brother Lei, you can call any driver to send him home. Why should you take the trouble? I don't care! You have to dance with me! ”When he spoke, he tried to grab Li Lei again, but Li Lei secretly avoided him.

Gu Lin was even more annoyed. "Sister Lei, why are you ignoring me ?!"

Xia Ling could not watch that scene anymore. Gu Lin was considered a socialite. Didn't she find the way she shamelessly teased Li Lei shamefully? If it was the Pei Family instead ... In his past life, he had seen Pei Ziheng deal with a shameless female family member who flirted excessively during social events. It was truly an extreme measure in their family rules. It was so tight that for a long period of time, the whole family remained silent like crickets in the cold, and female family members no longer dared to make the same mistake.

Both families are of high social class, how are their family values so different?

Xia Ling was deep in thought, but after she returned to reality, she felt that something was not right. Gu Lin's poor education did not mean that Pei Ziheng's family education was much better. Otherwise, how could it raise a pervert like Pei Ziheng?

He felt a slight pain in his heart and forced himself to stop thinking about it.

"Are we going or not?" Ask Li Lei impatiently.

"We're leaving," Li Lei immediately replied. He was now obedient like a big pet dog. He accommodated whatever his request was because he was afraid that he would provoke it again and cause it to be unhappy.

He carefully stretched out his hand, gesturing Xia Ling to hold it.

Xia Ling never held onto her hand and never thought that she would do that, so she was a bit surprised. She looked at him deeply with her eyes green like a forest, hoping that he had gotten his help. It was as if he said, “Look how obedient I am! How about you give me a little present? "

In the corner of her eyes, Xia Ling saw the way Gu Lin gritted her teeth. He had initially hesitated to keep Li Lei by his side, but suddenly, he became determined. He reached out his hand with a smile and gently held onto Li Lei's hand.

He also gave Gu Lin a provocative look.

Li Lei had a full view of what he was doing, but instead of getting angry, he leaped happily in his heart. His Xiao Ling was finally indifferent to him. When a love rival appears, he will also try to fight it.

Li Lei felt extremely great as he held Xia Ling's hand and walked towards the main entrance.

"Slow down!" Gu Lin's voice was filled with anger as he blocked them. "My brother Lei, you can't treat me like this!"

“I've already said that Xiao Ling is not feeling well. ”Li Lei takes into account the relationship of their two families and maintains the gentleness in her voice while being firm. "Lin Lin, can I trouble you to make way for us. ”

"I want to dance with you!" Gu Lin was still unwilling to compromise. Because she was so emotional, she increased the volume of her voice.

It caught the attention of several guests nearby.

"What's going on?" A man's voice sounded.

Xia Ling raised her head and saw a middle-aged man wearing a black suit. His face had some similarities to Gu Lin's face.

"Uncle Gu. "Li Lei has called.

Uncle Gu? Xia Ling guessed in her heart that she might be Gu Lin's father.

He guessed correctly. Gu Lin turned to look at the middle-aged man and suddenly felt relieved. He angrily glared at Xia Ling, angrily pointed towards Li Lei, and said, "Dad, Big Brother Lei refuses to dance with me!"

After clearly hearing what he said, more guests around him began to stare at them.

Not only did he attract the attention of a group of high society people, ordinary people who liked gossip were also interested. Many people started walking towards the commotion, trying to get close to find out what was happening.

There was a horrifying expression on Father Gu's face.

According to the rules of social etiquette, if a girl invites a man to dance with her, the man cannot refuse her. Otherwise, it would be akin to slapping him hard and announcing to everyone that he thought it was bad.

How could Father Gu watch his daughter experience such humiliation and do nothing?

"Li Lei," he asked angrily. “Our family is considered friends. Can you explain to me what this is all about? Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the relationship! "

Li Lei also realized that the situation had become a little troublesome, but he remained fearless. "I'm sorry if I've offended you, Uncle Gu. However, Xiao Ling was not feeling well, and I had to send her home quickly, so I really did not have time to accept Lin Lin's invitation. I am so sorry . ”

So what if he offended the father and daughter of the Gu Family?

It was better than offending Xiao Ling.

After Father Gu heard what Li Lei said, he finally realized that he was holding the hand of a girl. The girl's face was full of ridicule and indifference. He also stood up elegantly and straight, and it seemed like he was not feeling well at all! Excuses, they are all excuses.

Father Gu became even more furious and asked Xia Ling, "Who are you?"
