A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return Chapter 1267 - Wei Lingnan Stopping the Car

Chapter 1267: Wei Lingnan Stopping the Car

Gu Jinxiu looked at them and knew that they didn’t believe her. She felt aggrieved and resentful, but only sneered coldly and didn’t say anything.
Humph, these two frogs in the well don’t even know how powerful the Wei family is. Probably only a big giant like the Li family can go head-to-head with them.
Gu Jinxiu thought back to when her great-grandpa had been on his deathbed. He had whispered some things to her—
[Jinxiu, your grandpa and father are both worthless, so the responsibilities of reviving our Gu family is on your shoulders from now on. You have to try hard to rebuild a good relationship with the Li family. If that’s impossible, then find a way to build relations with the Wei family. Yes, the family behind the producer Wei Shaoyin at Skyart Entertainment. I’ve heard Li Lei mention casually before that the Wei family does business on biological weapons and has connections with many of the countries in the world. They’re involved in all sorts of activities and are definitely not the small biopharmaceutic company that they appear to be on the surface. Jinxiu, if you are on good terms with the Wei family, even the Li family won’t be able to touch you. Our Gu family can only rely on you…]
Old Grandpa had said so many things to her before he passed and had told her so many untold secrets. The most important secret was the information on the Wei family. Thus, Gu Jinxiu had painstakingly approached the Wei family and was bent on marrying Wei Lingnan. Being able to connect by marriage with such a colossus was an extremely profitable exchange.
How could those ignorant country bumpkins possibly understand?
To fulfill the purpose of marrying into the Wei family, it was worthy to suffer a moment of humiliation.
Gu Jinxiu looked down at the little bag in her hands. What had Wei Lingnan intended on giving Xia Ling? No matter what it was, she would replace Xia Ling and use it. She wouldn’t just use it, she would use it well, and let Wei Lingnan know that she cherished it and was using it well.
Over a long time, one day, Wei Lingnan was sure to feel tenderness towards her.
In this war of love, she would definitely gain victory.
Inside the silent hall.
Xia Yingluo was chatting with her elders absent-mindedly. She then excused herself pretending tiredness and left with Jin Ling’er.
The two girls walked along the wood plank walkway at the rear of the hall slowly. The early autumn afternoon wind caressed their dresses, making them look like two beautiful fairies. Jin Ling’er held Xia Yingluo’s hand and said in worry, “Yingluo, are you alright? Ever since Wei Lingnan came, you became moody. Old Master Shankou asked you a few questions and you even heard it wrongly, do you have something on your mind?”
Xia Yingluo shook her head and said softly, “I’m okay.”
Jin Ling’er didn’t believe her. “How are you okay? Your soul isn’t even here. Oh yes, I haven’t asked you yet, but when you disappeared that time, were you captured by Wei Lingnan? Why didn’t you call the police, what on earth happened?” When she disappeared last time, Xia Yingluo didn’t say anything, but due to the big shock that her identity made, even Jin Ling’er forgot to ask.
Xia Yingluo couldn’t help but howl in grief. She stopped walking and turned to Jin Ling’er. “Ling’er, Sister Ling’er, Aunt Ling’er, can’t you just let me be in peace and quiet for a while? I’m already going crazy with all the things that have happened recently, especially because of Wei Lingnan the monster! So don’t keep talking about him in front of me.” Even though she said this, her heart still inevitably thought about the man. His slender body and clean white shirt standing amongst the flora and fauna with not a speck of dust on him, how was he like a beast or a monster?
She shook her head and tried hard not to think about him.
She heard Jin Ling’er ask, “Yingluo, tell me honestly, are you in love with him?”
Xia Yingluo was so shocked she wanted to jump. She immediately retaliated. “No!”
“Oh—?” Jin Ling’er dragged out and circled around her. “Really? I’ve never seen a man who could stir such big emotions in you. Since Wei Lingnan is willing to risk his life to see your parents for you, why don’t you just yield to him? Don’t care about Gu Jinxiu, if you like him, just go and snatch him. They aren’t even married, aren’t they just fiancees? That doesn’t count.”
Xia Yingluo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that Jin Ling’er thought she was worried about this?
“They’re not fiancees,” she told Jin Ling’er. “Wei Lingnan told me personally that them being fiancees was just invented by Gu Jinxiu. They’ve never been through any official ceremonies. Wei Lingnan only wanted to give her face, so he didn’t expose and drag her down in public.”
“Oh? Really?” Jin Ling’er’s eyes widened. She started to have a new appreciation for Gu Jinxiu’s shamelessness.
Then, what was Yingluo worried about?
“Wei Lingnan isn’t good to you?” she asked. “So you don’t like him? But I see that he’s rather good to you, he even helped you hand in the school fees and gave you a credit card. Last time when you were in the dance classroom hurting to death, he even taught those bystanders a lesson… even if he kidnapped and imprisoned you, it’s because of love… you, don’t look at me like that, I definitely don’t agree to what he did. But, didn’t you realize?”
“Realize what?” Xia Yingluo asked.
Jin Ling’er tilted her head. “Your parents. Even though your parents weren’t friendly to him, they didn’t exactly look at him like he was an enemy. That’s not the attitude they should display to a pervert who abducted their own daughter. Yingluo, it’s more like… they’re testing their future son-in-law…”
Her last words were slightly softened at Xia Yingluo’s murderous glare.
Xia Yingluo glared fiercely at her and said, word for word, “Don’t. Mention. Him. In. Front. Of. Me.”
“Okay, okay, I won’t mention him.” Jin Ling’er immediately stopped.
Xia Yingluo sighed and continued walking forward listlessly.
Jin Ling’er was right, her parent’s attitude towards Wei Lingnan wasn’t considered vicious, as if they had already guessed that Wei Lingnan wouldn’t really hurt her. Seriously, was she still their daughter?! Which parent would treat a kidnapper so well? Boohoo, that kidnapper was even an alien, what if he cut her up into pieces to experiment with when he became impatient?
With her mind dangling, she dragged Jin Ling’er out of the banquet hall sullenly and got into the car.
She ordered the driver to return to the training camp.
Jin Ling’er saw that she was tired and didn’t continue to disturb her. She sat quietly in her seat.
The silver-gray private car drove smoothly and after a few miles, it suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Yingluo returned to her senses and asked the driver.
The driver said, “Miss, there’s someone in front.”
Looking through the window, Xia Yingluo and Jin Ling’er both saw who it was.
On the bypath in the early autumn, where the wutong crisscrossed.
A man wearing a white shirt was standing in the vast space. He had his hand in his pocket and was staring peacefully at their car. His gaze was as tranquil and still as the water on the surface of a lake, but it seemed to be able to penetrate people’s thoughts. Through the one-way glass window, he was staring certainly at Xia Yingluo.
