The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 56's

Warm sunlight was blocked by shadows.

Xia Ling raised her head and was surprised to see the familiar face of – Li Beier. Li Beier in front of her now was clearly trying hard to make herself look neat – her long, curly hair was combed into a charming style and she was wearing a red top that hugged the body and pants skinny combined with a pair of brightly colored boots. She looks cool and sexy. He looked down on Xia Ling and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Xia Ling responded lightly.

He was actually a bit surprised to see Li Beier. The world was a small place and it seemed like Li Beier was one of the female partners of Li Lei's group of friends here today. This rich second generation heir was happy to play around with the little stars. He wondered which of the men had bad taste and had chosen this shallow and troubled woman.

Li Beier was humiliated by Xia Ling's calm demeanor. He snapped at Xia Ling, his chest heaving in anger. "Who are you? What place are you sitting here? Speak out! How can you sneak in here ?! If you don't tell me, I'll call security now!"

This scene feels like deja vu.

Xia Ling's lips curved into a smile as she giggled. "Have you not been through enough trouble?"

"What?" Li Beier looked at him, puzzled.

"Not so long ago, you were kicked out of Lucas' store, right? How's it feel?" Xia Ling twirled the glass in her hand, rose tea completing her white fingertips. "Do you want to be expelled here again?"

Li Beier's face was angered as he was reminded of being chased out of the store, and he looked at Xia Ling with flames that seemed to gush from his eyes. He was never that scary and humiliated in his life! Until now, he was too embarrassed to go to Lucas' store! Therefore, he did not have the opportunity to buy all the new clothes for spring and could only wear his old clothes to Nan Shan today! It was all because of the ugly woman in front of him, who had made him humiliated in public and unable to buy new clothes, he said, and also caused him to receive countless cynical comments from the other women present today!

No, he has to win here today!

Li Beier boiled and gnashed her teeth, her beautiful face wrinkled with anger again.

However, learning from his mistakes from before, Li Beier was slightly smarter this time around. "Who are you here with today?" He asked, afraid that Xia Ling would have a strong backer. After all, the only person who could bring a female partner to Nan Shan's equestrian club was a wealthy second-generation heir who had a formidable background. Before making trouble, he needed to make sure that he was able to offend Xia Ling.

Xia Ling replied lazily, "Why do you care who I came here with?" He did not have a good habit of replying to everything that was asked, nor did he like to wave Li Lei's name around like a banner. Even if he could guess the intention behind Li Beier's question, he didn't care to tell the truth.

Li Beier argued that Xia Ling was afraid, and proudly stood higher, increasingly showing off her full chest. "I came here today with the second son of the Zhou family."

In this circle, the second son of the Zhou family was a big name. He would rank after Li Lei and Du Yunfeng. Li Beier had nothing to fear as long as he did not offend the woman who came with Li Lei and Du Yunfeng.

Xia Ling looked at Li Beier as if he was a fool. Did he feel proud of having crawled into bed with a second generation heir? Moreover, he had seen Second Young Master Zhou previously hug the other two women in his arms. Should Li Beier not try to regain his kindness instead of wasting time with him here?

Seeing that Xia Ling did not say anything, Li Beier thought that she had guessed it correctly and that Xia Ling did not have any strong backers. He began to feel complacent, sneering at Xia Ling. "Missed when I was being nice. Or you want to wait for Second Young Master Zhou to come, then …"

"Who's that asking my girl to get lost?" Suddenly, a lazy voice floated.

Xia Ling turned her head towards the voice and saw Li Lei slowly walking over from under the shadow of the bamboo forest. He wore white riding clothes from top to bottom, which complemented his tan color, making him look very handsome. Ten people followed behind him, and they were a group of rich men with their female partners, returning from their horseback riding.

Li Beier's expression changed. Who was that talking earlier?

God, is he wrong? That is impossible. . .

Li Lei had an indifferent smile on his face as he approached Li Beier. He said, "You're the one who bullied my guy?"

"Oh?" Li Lei continued to smile, "Then, I'm just kidding with you right now. Let me see how you get lost."

Li Beier was stunned. He did not expect Li Lei to say something like that. What should he do now? Li Lei had a reputation in this circle for being grumpy, and he did not dare to offend him. She turned her head to look at Xia Ling, only to see Xia Ling focus on turning the teacup in her hand, her expression calm and peaceful as if this commotion had nothing to do with her.

Li Beier could only look towards Second Young Master Zhou in the hope that he would help him.

However, Second Young Master Zhou couldn't help but care for him. She was not the most liked girl around, and even if she was, she would not care to go against Li Lei for a simple toy. Come on, Li Lei had officially introduced Xia Ling to this group of friends, which was a clear indication that she meant a lot to him. How could Li Beier, his toy, hold a candle on Li Lei's eye seeds?

Second Young Master Zhou shrugged and said, "Second Young Master Li, do whatever you can. You don't have to look at me."

Li Lei was also the second son in his family, hence his close friends would call him that. Hearing this, Li Lei's smile widened on his face, showing his perfectly white teeth, "Then, don't get lost."

His tone was overjoyed but made Li Beier tremble.

Li Beier was boiling in his heart. Not only had he offended the terrifying Young Master Li, but he had now also lost his backer. He could do nothing but turn around with his hands covering his face and start walking out.

“Back.” He had not gone too far before he heard Li Lei's voice behind his ring again.

"Young ... Young Master Li, can I do anything else for you?" She asked nervously, almost crying.

"I'm asking you to show me how you roll."[1] [a] [b] [c]

Roll . . ?

The scroll!

Everyone understood what Young Master Li was saying at this moment. So, he wanted her out of this place! Poor Li Beier, this is terrible for him. Tsk tsk, who asked him to get the wrong side of Young Master Li? He now has to get out of this place. . .

Some women could not help but look at the terrain. Although it was a field of grass, but there were some pebbles and twigs of peaches scattered about. To get down from here, not thinking about how dirty or embarrassing it was, the chances of his face being cut and dragged by pebbles and twigs were extremely high, and could even leave a lasting scar. . .

Indeed, there was no good ending for anyone to offend Young Master Li.

Li Beier was terrified. He begged Li Lei pitifully, his two eyes filled with tears. "Young Master Li, I …"

"You don't want to roll?" Li Lei continued to smile at him.

"I don't want to roll over. Please, I beg you, don't make me roll!" Li Beier pleaded.

Li Lei slowly replied, "Begging me is useless ..." He recklessly glanced at Xia Ling as he spoke.

Everyone realized at this moment that the one who could decide whether Li Beier should roll over was this calm woman sitting at the side, sipping her tea.
