The Rebirth of a Diva

The Rebirth of a Diva
Episode 14



He was a very attractive man, probably of mixed race. Its appearance is a perfect blend of Asian good looks and Western deep and vivid features. His skin was a healthy brown, and his eyes, under the sunlight seeping through the trees, reflected a dark green hue. His limbs were slender and well-proportioned, and his upper neckline showed the right muscles. He was just sitting under a tree casually, yet the air around him felt a little dangerous as if he would turn aggressive at any moment.


Xia Ling looked at him and then took a calculated step back.


He smiled, revealing his front teeth. "I don't bite. In fact, I'm hurt."


He shrugged his shoulders as he told her.


It was then that he realized that there was a thick bandage around his stomach, stained dark with blood. As the leopard paced around the man in frustration, he reached out to caress his head, as if comforting him.


"What's your name?" he asked again.


"… Ye Xingling," He gave the name to her from her current life.


"From the MV filming team down the road?"


"Who are you?" He retaliated.


He smiled again, his intoxicating green eyes emitting light. "Little beauty, I'm the one asking the question, okay?"


The leopard roared towards him.


. . . So, he understands.


"I'm a trainee at Skyart Entertainment training camp," Xia Ling gave up. "We're here with Tan Ying to shoot the MV."


He stared in satisfaction, and then leisurely ruffled the leopard. "Tan Ying is here too? I'm lucky." He then asked, "Do you have a phone number? Let me borrow your phone for a minute."


Xia Ling really did not want to lend it to him, but given the situation, she had no choice but to give it to him.


He caught it with one hand and then dialed the number. "Hello, is this Tan Ying? Not Ye Xingling .. This is your boss …"


Alright, he finally knows who he is – Big Sky Sky Entertainment Li Lei, rumored to be the brutal and violent grandson of the Li triad family. As Xia Ling turned to face him, she heard part of what he said:


"I was wounded in the mountains, come quickly .. What, I have to wait? Your boss is dying .. No, no, don't bring Wei Shaoyin here, I don't want to have to experience the man's poisonous words. "


He shifted to a more comfortable position as he continued to speak, trying to sound like a child and pitiful.


At that moment, Xia Ling could not bear to think –


At that moment, Xia Ling could not bear to think –


This is the rumored black triad? What happened cold and brutal?


Before Xia Ling overcame her shock, Li Lei hung up the phone and returned the phone to her.


He subtly stole a glance at the bloodstains on his head, unsure whether he was injured or whether it was a stain left behind by the leopard. He resisted the urge to kick to the side, but when he considered it, he decided not to.


Tan Ying arrived very quickly and even brought along a team, with some unfamiliar faces who were not part of the filming team. Xia Ling guessed they might be workers who were originally already in the mountains.


They quietly but quickly put down the palanquin and placed Li Lei on it, their every move systematic and trained.


Amidst all that, he could barely hear the urgency in Tan Ying's voice. "How are you, is this bad?"


"Shooting wounds, but no vital signs. Can't die for it." The mediocre-sounding Li Lei had a certain miraculous effect in convincing people. "Tan Ying, ask some people to check the surroundings and check if there are any other gunmen. Ignore the corpses on the trees, just leave it for Er Mao's dinner. Also …"


Tan Ying nodded at her every request, and then glanced at Xia Ling as well, instructing the men. "Give him a stretcher too, we'll go down together."


Along the way down, no one said a word to her or asked her to take anything – whether she was in pain or if she was willing to come down with them. In her previous life, Xia Ling would lose her emotions, but times had changed. He no longer had the same blessing as before. There was no more hello to him, so he had to learn to live like an ordinary person.

There was no more hello to him, so he had to learn to live like an ordinary person.


Fortunately, she had a difficult time and simple satisfaction, having spent over 12 years in an orphanage before she met Pei Ziheng. Now he's back to being an ordinary person living the same life, and maybe that's the type of person he should have been from the beginning.


Team took him – on stretcher – to a group of buildings on the mountaintop.


They placed Xia Ling into the living room and asked a professional doctor to examine her injuries and treat her as needed.


"That's just some superficial wounds, nothing too serious. Rest well for a few days, do not let them come into contact with water, do not take spicy food, and you will be fine immediately," the doctor instructed him.


Xia Ling smiled and nodded, but as the doctor turned her back and left, she walked straight to the bathroom.


He filled the bathtub halfway through and then immersed himself as much as possible into the water. Warm and clean water surrounded him, and the smell of blood spread in the air along with the steam. Xia Ling struggled to use her left hand to clean herself, being careful not to open the wound on her right shoulder. But still, the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.


The scene of the leopard pouncing on him continued to replay on his head.


The next moment, he turned into a large and ferocious dog with shiny black fur, standing at a height of over half the height of a human. It had tried to attack him as well, its huge body jumping towards him many times. . .


In Pei Ziheng's villa that seemed to be completely cut off from the world, he was in a dark basement trying to avoid the animal at all costs. She hit the door like a crazy woman and screamed for help, but still, she was stuck without anyone offering help.


It was the scariest day of his life.


Even until now he was a little trembling thinking about that day.

Before that day, he had never obeyed Pei Ziheng. Even when he was placed under house arrest in his villa, he continued to argue with her, defying her every order. He always said, "Ling, one day I'll run out of patience with you."


The day has finally arrived. It was his 28th birthday.


At dawn, she left a bouquet of red roses by her bedside and bowed to caress her lips. Xia Ling tried her hardest to avoid her lips, but her chin was firmly gripped and her hand was pressed against the bed. He could only watch as his handsome face inched closer, wine and his lemon-scented lips stuck to his face. . .


He then bit her brutally.


The smell of blood spread from between his lips.


He let go, with horror in his eyes.


He attacks. "Take me off! You are a beast!"


He looked at her very seriously, his eyes were extremely cold. He quickly wiped the blood from his lips and said, "Beast? In that case, let me show you what a beast looks like."


He dragged her out of the room and left her in the basement.


The door was then slammed shut and locked from the outside. The basement was almost pitch-black, and he could only see faint lines of what was inside. He heard the raging bark, and then a huge shadow leaped towards him.
