The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 25's

Xia Ling only discovered that Xia Yu was increasingly not welcoming of her visit but instead was very close to Pei Ziheng, using her high-pitched, high-pitched voice to ask him to stay longer with her. The funny thing was that Xia Ling had just thought Xia Yu was going through the attention seeking phase and did not take all of that in heart.

Xia Yu was getting better day by day, her yellow skin was fading and the swelling on her limbs was decreasing. What remained was a beautiful girl who looked like a beautiful porcelain doll made by a master doll maker. The year Xia Yu was 15, Xia Ling decided to send her abroad to study.

He stayed up a few nights to choose the school he thought was best for Xia Yu and brought the application documents before him.

Xia Yu pushed the documents, barely glancing at them. Smiling at his sister, he said, "I've decided to study at home."

Xia Ling voiced her objections. “Xiao Yu, you should be hanging out with kids your age. Going to school would be the best way to do that.” During the years that Xia Yu received treatment, she had always been in the hospital alone, with no playmates or friends. The person he spent the most time with was Pei Ziheng, who only flew once a month to visit him.

Xia Ling did not want him to be so lonely.

"You should be friends again, Xiao Yu. Ziheng is busy with affairs in the company, he can't spend too much time with you," he persuaded gently.

Xia Yu's face quickly turned pale, a mist of tears entering her eyes. She begged. "But big brother, I want to help you both. I want to enter the best university and study business management so that when I graduate I can go to Imperial Entertainment and help lift some of the pressure and burden from you and Brother Ziheng. My foundation is weak, and if I go to school as you say, I won't be able to keep up, and I definitely won't make it to a good university, please let me study at home, please. You and Brother Ziheng will give me the best homeschooling teacher, right? "

Xia Ling could not refuse Xia Yu's request. He thinks maybe this is better. Xia Yu was always weak and prone to illness. Letting her stay at home would mean that her daily food and living conditions would be well taken care of.

Eventually, Xia Yu managed to fulfill her wish and was successfully accepted at Cambridge University.

After he successfully graduated, he entered Imperial Entertainment in a managerial position.

Pei Ziheng is a very superior Imperial Entertainment and is expected to function with precision and efficiency. As a result, the work becomes intense and with long hours, the projects never end. Xia Yu worked hard and excelled beyond what people expected of her. However, his body was weaker than the others, after all, and within a few months, he lost a lot of weight due to the pressure.

Xia Ling persuaded her brother to stop working.

He had already made it big in the entertainment industry back then, amassing a small fortune that was enough for Xia Yu to comfortably live her entire life without worry. However, Xia Yu did not want to stop and continued to press hard at Imperial Entertainment. He executed every command of Pei Ziheng perfectly, running in and out of the Chairman's office where he sat more often than anyone else.

Sometimes, Xia Ling was in the Chairman's office as well, exchanging affection with Pei Ziheng and being hugged in his arms. They will admire the latest expensive new toy that he bought or shared a beautiful pot of tea. Every time she saw Xia Yu go in to report the never-ending page of numbers and spreadsheets, Xia Ling would feel disinterested, stand up from Pei Ziheng's embrace and tell him to leave.

Every time this happened, Pei Ziheng would frown a little.

Every time this happened, Pei Ziheng would frown a little.

Seeing this, terror would enter Xia Yu's face, and she would gently stutter. "Sister, Brother Ziheng, I'm sorry, I'm bothering you both .. Should I come back later …"

Xia Ling would smile and reassure him that everything was fine, shooting sharply at Pei Ziheng, wordlessly warning him not to make Xia Yu feel bad. As this happened more often, Pei Ziheng became used to it. After all, Xia Yu was very competent and the report she delivered on the topic at work was in great demand.

They will engage in long discussions forgetting about time.

Xia Ling would go home first and wait alone on the sofa for Pei Ziheng, repeatedly waking up in the middle of the night in the same position.

This was until he received a call from Pei Ziheng one day, telling him that Xia Yu fainted during a meeting at the office. In a panic he rushed to the hospital, his hands, and feet were cold from fear. The doctors told her that Xia Yu had fainted from exhaustion and that her old illness was relapsing.

Since that incident, she refused to allow Xia Yu to continue working at Imperial Entertainment. Pei Ziheng had never opposed his wishes. Kissing her lightly, she said, "Okay. I could always hire a new manager for the office. As long as the dear Xiao Ling is happy."

After being transferred from her position in Imperial Entertainment, Xia Yu felt depressed and unhappy. He would let out a smile whenever Xia Ling asked about it, saying, "Sister, I'm fine. I was too stupid and incompetent. Sorry for worrying you."

But, Xia Ling caught him one day, crying in secret behind his back.

Xia Ling could not bear to see Xia Yu in such a state. He took his entire savings from under the tutelage of his financial consultant and handed it to Xia Yu. He said, "Xiao Yu, this is all the money I have earned these few years. I'm handing it to you now to manage. You don't have to do too much, nor do I worry about how much you earn or lose. Just do whatever you want with him in your spare time – the money here is yours as much as mine. "

She wanted to give Xia Yu something to do to apply what she had learned, but it did not weigh too much on her body. He hoped this would make Xia Yu happy.

Xia Yu accepted the money, gratitude shining through her eyes. He resolutely said, "Sister, I won't let you down."

Xia Yu chose a very risky venture to invest in and, within a year, he had lost over 50 percent of the money Xia Ling had given him. Xia Ling did not say a word of reproach before she found the suicide note that Xia Yu had left on her. Xia Yu had swallowed a sleeping pill in an attempted suicide.

Xia Ling hugged Xia Yu tightly as they saved her from the door of death. He comforted her, saying, "Xiao Yu, don't scare me. Even if you've lost all the money I won't care, I just want you to be okay …"

Then, Feng Kun was suspicious, saying to Xia Ling, "Xiao Ling, your sister is astute and smart in all the decisions she made when she became a manager at Imperial Entertainment. How did he make such a big mistake once he took over your finances? "

Xia Ling defended Xia Yu, saying, "When Xia Yu was at Imperial Entertainment, whatever she did was still under Pei Ziheng's supervision even if she was in a managerial position. He was just following Pei Ziheng's orders. Now that he had to do something alone and make his own decisions, it was normal to make some mistakes. He was very young, and this was his first time. "

Thinking back, he was too naive back then.

Then, when he was imprisoned by Pei Ziheng, Xia Yu would visit him occasionally. That's when Xia Yu told her all her complaints –

"Sister, why do you think I work so hard? What do you do to get everything – money, fame, status ... and love Brother Ziheng ?!"

"What do you do to get his undivided attention? Whatever I do is not enough to make him pay attention to me ?!"

"Whatever he does for me, it's all because of you! That's not fair, completely and utterly unfair!"

Xia Ling looked at her sister in disbelief as if she was staring at a stranger. He was surprised by the essence of his existence.

Xia Yu continued, coming closer to Xia Ling with a cold smile and saying sarcastically, "Sister, haven't you cared so much about me since we were kids? Why don't you do one last thing for me. Just kill yourself. Don't you feel despicable and tormented being held here against your will? Someone who is arrogant because you won't be able to sit like this right? Just kill yourself and you'll be free of this. Then I will be free to replace you and win Brother Ziheng's affection. "

Xia Yu gently held Xia Ling's face in her hands, saying, "So yeah, please go and die, my dear sister."
