Chapter 1381: You Are Not Qualified

There was a buzzing noise among the journalists.

Gu Jinxiu’s words that came to a halt held a profound meaning. As if she had countless grievances but was unable to express them.

Recalling that after her wedding with Wei Lingnan was interrupted and there was no further news, the group of reporters couldn’t help but guess. Could it be that Xia Yingluo changed the situation by being the third wheel and snatched Gu Jinxiu’s husband forcefully?

“Even if she’s a noble lady, she shouldn’t bully others.” Some reporters got upset.

Li Rui’s long narrow eyes glanced at Gu Jinxiu with a smile, and then swept towards the reporter who talked. “I’ve have seen you before. When my mom gave a concert some time ago, you were among the reporters waiting. Which media are you from? Let me think… yes, Poison Tongue Entertainment! How dare you run your mouth randomly? Manage your mouth. Otherwise, you might not even be able to become a public reporter.”

He had a smile on his face, but his words were cold.

Many reporters present felt a shiver down their spine. They unexpectedly remembered rumors about this daring Second Young Master Li. Someone quietly pulled the little reporter’s sleeve. “Forget it.”

But the reporter was a newcomer that had a high traffic count and made a lot of money, so he thought he was too big a thing to be talked down to. He flicked his sleeve angrily and glared at the man who pulled him. “Why are you pulling me! I’m doing this for justice! Mr. Li Rui, are you threatening a reporter?”

The person’s kindness was trampled on, and he also felt annoyed inside.

I was kind to help you, but you just had to seek death for yourself.

At the moment, he turned aside with a cold face and didn’t care anymore.

The smile on Li Rui’s lips deepened. “So what if I’m threatening you?”

“You!” The reporter was so angry. He didn’t expect Li Rui to admit it so generously, without even being ashamed! He couldn’t help but say, “Even if you are rich, do you know what happens once you offend a reporter?! Everyone, tell me, this person is a blatant hindrance to our freedom of speech. Should we bear it?!”

However, the scene was silent.

The other reporters looked at him strangely, and a few of them who were still close to him stepped back, lest they cause trouble.

The reporter who went against Li Rui was stunned and looked at his companions angrily, unable to understand. “You!”

Li Rui chuckled again. “What kind of entertainment journal has such a sense of justice? No… I still appreciate those powerful journalists who are unyielding and insist on fair reporting. Unfortunately, you are not one of them. You can’t even understand the truth behind Yingluo and that bitch, and said that Yingluo bullied her, so I could only give you what you wanted and bully you, right?”

“How could you say I’m a bitch?” Gu Jinxiu wept on the side.

Li Rui ignored her and took off his branded watch. “Although this watch isn’t valuable, it’s worth a few years of your struggles. Whoever drives the pesky guy away will receive this watch from me.”

As soon as his words fell, several reporters rushed forward and took the reporter away in a hurry.

“What are you doing! This is a violation of human rights!… Oh, Oh!” He refused to leave, but his strength was limited and he was dragged to the side of the highway by the fence. Several reporters took off his clothes quickly and tied him to the protective fence. To prevent him from disturbing Li Rui by speaking out, they also cleverly blocked his mouth with stinky socks.

The smell of the stinky socks suffocated the reporter. He glared at them desperately, but couldn’t get out of the predicament.

Li Rui watched this scene calmly. This was the consequence of offending his sister, and even this was a light punishment. He had intended on going back and informing his subordinates to create trouble for them.

They were a family of the black underground, and whoever provoked them should know the consequences.

Li Rui smiled and watched as the reporters who had tied him up ran back and scrambled in front of him for the reward. He readily offered the watch that had only been worn for a few days and said, “Don’t grab it, all of you have a share. Go to my assistant to retrieve it tomorrow.”

The crowd who had fought shamelessly for just one watch burst into cheers because of his words.

“Thank you, Second Young Master Li!”

“I knew Second Young Master Li was the most generous!”

Li Rui smiled and narrowed his eyes. “It’s nothing. I would like you to take care of Yingluo in the future.”

The reporters certainly understood what he meant, and nodded again and again. “Of course, of course. I heard that filming was very hard on Ms. Xia Yingluo, thus she had hypoglycemia at the wedding. During this time, she was cured and is in very good condition.”

“Yeah, yeah. Ms. Xia is the most dedicated female star.”

“Ms. Xia is so beautiful and hard-working, it’s really touching.”

“Second Master Li even brought his sister out for a spin, they’re really the ideal siblings.”

They were all currying favor one by one, but Li Rui nodded comfortably. He liked to deal with these entertainment reporters. With just a little hint, they were clear on what to do.

Gu Jinxiu’s expression wasn’t good. These horrible reporters really had their eyes closed! A bunch of garbage!

She stopped the car here because she wanted to pretend to be pitiful in front of the reporters, hoping it would cause news topics and public opinion to lean towards her. Maybe Wei Lingnan would even pity her and come back to her again.

This was her only option left.

Seeing that the situation was not good, she simply gritted her teeth and headed straight to the car where Xia Yingluo was. Then, she knelt down. “Xia Yingluo, please leave me and Nan alone. You are so beautiful and your family is so good. Why snatch my husband away? Please, I beg you!”

Her voice was somber and she almost cried.

Li Rui did not expect this woman to go so far as to go down on her knees.

The group of journalists was stimulated. They raised their cameras and instinctively planned to take pictures.

Gu Jinxiu was happy. As long as these photos were circulated, even if the reporter was biased, the public would have their own judgment, and Xia Yingluo’s reputation for bullying people would become justified. And she would be shaped as a poor woman.

However, Li Rui only raised his hand gently, and all the cameras were retracted.

These reporters weren’t fools. Since Second Young Master Li didn’t let them shoot, they dare not make trouble.

Even if they often offended people to grab news, this man was not an ordinary person. He was famous for taking revenge and still had such a huge background in the family. Furthermore, he was in front of them, so they didn’t dare to go against him.

Gu Jinxiu’s wishful thinking was broken and her face became paler.

“Li Rui, you can’t decide for Xia Yingluo. I know she’s in the car. I want to talk directly to her!” She hissed exhaustedly.

“I said, you are not qualified.” Li Rui still smiled.

However, as soon as his voice fell, the door of the sports car opened and a pair of beautiful high heels gracefully stepped on the ground.

Chapter 1382: Gu Jinxiu Hitting the Muzzle

Everyone turned to look.

They saw Xia Yingluo come out wearing a light-colored shirt. She closed the door casually and wore her sunglasses.

Her movements were calm and unhurried, and she was not uncomfortable even while facing so many reporters at close range. But the reporters were excited and raised their cameras to snap shots quickly.

Li Rui frowned. “What are you doing outside?”

Xia Yingluo said, “I’m hungry and don’t want to be blocked on the road.” Their car was blocked by Gu Jinxiu, and with so many reporters’ cars, the expressway was simply blocked. The cars behind thought there had been an accident and had all diverted.

Li Rui sneered and gave Gu Jinxiu a pointed look. “Someone had no morals and stopped here randomly.”

A smart reporter echoed quickly. “Yeah, yeah. As a lady, you have no education. I must expose this. Rich people should not be let go when they do the wrong things! They have much social responsibility!”

“Yes, that’s it!” The other reporters also agreed. They had all received benefits from Li Rui and were anxious to curry favor with him. “The traffic jam hindered Ms. Xia from having her meal, and she almost had low blood sugar again! The Gu family’s perfume company is too irresponsible!”

In a few words, it involved even the Gu family’s perfume company.

Gu Jinxiu’s expression was very bad. She was not a star like Xia Yingluo and didn’t have her own fan base, so even if she was splashed with dirty water, not many people would speak up for her. That was still fine, but it involved the Gy family’s image and was a huge impact on her family’s corporate image.

“I was also forced to stop my car here…” Gu Jinxiu was sobbing, trying to move the reporters, but she secretly cursed inside. Why was the traffic jam because of her? This expressway was a good two-lane road and she only blocked one of the roads. The other cars could still drive past perfectly, but the other road was blocked because of those reporters!

But even if she felt grievance, she didn’t dare to reason with the reporters. The reporters wrote with their pens as knives. She was already out of favor with them, so how could she possibly drag more hatred onto her? She looked at Xia Yingluo. “Ms. Xia, don’t be so aggressive… I beg you…”

“You’re still pretending to be so pitiful at this time?” Li Rui sneered. “What does it have to do with Yingluo when the reporters have condemned you?”

Xia Yingluo simply ignored her existence. Ever since she got off the sports car, she hadn’t even glanced at Gu Jinxiu once. She looked up at the horizon, and a helicopter flew over not far away and landed slowly near them, the fierce wind blowing their hairs.

There was the loud roar of the propeller.

Li Rui glanced at her sister. “You called it?”

“I’m hungry.” Xia Yingluo insisted.

Since the car was blocked, who knew when she could move?

When she was sitting in the car just now, the amazing hearing of the Skatana tribe allowed her to hear the outside movement clearly, and she didn’t want to be in a standstill with Gu Jinxiu. Thus, she contacted the Li family’s helicopter. It was almost time to go, so she had come out to board the plane.

The reporters around also understood that it turned out that Ms. Xia didn’t want to talk to Gu Jinxiu at all. She was just waiting for the helicopter!

For a while, many scornful eyes fell on Gu Jinxiu. This woman was so miserable that she deliberately stopped the car here. However, Ms. Xia didn’t even care about her.

Of course, Gu Jinxiu also understood her meaning. It turned out that in her eyes, her hunger was more important!

A raging fire stormed in her heart, but she had no other choice and said sadly, “Xia Yingluo, you can’t do this! You can’t snatch my husband!”

“You’re shameless. Wei Lingnan hasn’t officially married you yet.” Li Rui couldn’t stand it and said coldly.

Xia Yingluo still ignored Gu Jinxiu. She stepped gracefully towards the landing helicopter and got on it with the help of the staff. She didn’t feel the need to say anything to Gu Jinxiu. Wei Lingnan had discovered that she was the queen, so the next thing was between her and Wei Lingnan. This fake product called Gu Jinxiu was out.

She had no habit of wasting time with irrelevant people.

Sitting firmly on the helicopter, she looked at Li Rui impatiently. “Aren’t you getting on?”

Li Rui simply wanted to hit her. He had tried so hard to help her fight her rivals, but in the end, she had plans to leave him alone? “Of course! Wait for me!” He shouted unhappily, then ran over and boarded the helicopter.

The helicopter slowly lifted off, and a huge wind blew on Gu Jinxiu’s face, making her eat dust while still kneeling on the ground.

The appearance of the dust on her face aroused the interest of the reporters, and they immediately came forward to take pictures of her.

Gu Jinxiu didn’t care about these reporters. She looked up at the distant helicopter and suddenly felt deep despair in her heart. It turned out that without Wei Lingnan’s protection, she was nothing…

No one would care about her, no one would look fondly upon her.

Fighting with Xia Yingluo alone, she even… she didn’t even have the right to fight with her!

Some time ago, she had been so proud of herself that she had forgotten how weak she really was. She had relied on Wei Lingnan, and now she was beaten back to her original shape. She knelt on the ground and was in so much pain she couldn’t breathe.

The next day.

Gu Jinxiu’s pitiful appearance was indeed on the newspaper, together with reports about the traffic jams on the highway.

The reporters described Gu Jinxiu’s overbearing incomprehensibility with extremely exaggerated words, pointing out the dangers of such traffic blocking on the expressway. They finally concluded that the young lady of the Gu family was so unethical. Then, how well could she lead the Gu enterprise?

Public opinion was in an uproar, and several public figures stood out, insisting that they would boycott the Gu family’s perfumes in the future.

Boycotting her perfume was one thing. More importantly, they were showing off to the Li family in disguise. Of course, this second level of meaning was only known to the people in the circle. In the public eye, what they saw was only the message that “even celebrities were averse to the Gu family.”

Many people followed suit immediately, setting off a wave of resistance to the Gu family’s perfume.

Even when a girl used the Gu family’s perfume, she would be dismissed by the people around her. “Gu family’s perfume? Isn’t that a company without public morals? It’s low.” Even those who used their perfume were also considered tasteless.

Perfumes were not a necessity in life and many people bought it as style only. So who wanted people to say they were tasteless because of this?

Many users of the Gu family’s perfume bought other brands, and the Gu family’s perfume saw a large-scale sales decline.

Li Rui watched the report at home and smiled happily. “Yes! Who told her to bully you!”

Xia Yingluo was drinking tea and basking in the sun next to him. She watched as the two leopards Mao Mao and Rong Rong chased each other on the lawn, and said lazily, “The evil we bring onto ourselves is the hardest to bear. I didn’t even have the intention to make trouble with her.”

Gu Jinxiu just happened to hit the muzzle herself.

Chapter 1383: I Want to See You

The two siblings chatted comfortably for a while.

The rare tranquility didn’t last long as Tan Ying came to visit.

He was now Xia Yingluo’s agent and had a lot of things to talk to her about every day. Today, he came and said, “Tidal Magazine wants to ask you for an interview. They plan to make a special topic about the noble ladies, making a comprehensive comparison from the aspects of appearance, career achievement, character, and reputation. I agreed on your behalf.”

Tidal Magazine was one of the top high-end magazines with a wide circulation, but it was authoritative.

Xia Yingluo blinked. “That’s interesting. Which ladies are being interviewed?”

“You, Gu Jinxiu, Pei Yan, and Wang Anan, the daughter of financial tycoon Wang Mingrui, Ouyang Xue, the daughter of the Internet empire Ouyang, and Li Yuqi, the sister of the Jewel Queen Li Jing. They are all big families in the Chinese circle,” Tan Ying said.

Xia Yingluo thought it was probably true. If the comparison objects were too bad, Tan Ying wouldn’t have agreed to let her go.

However, she was surprised that Gu Jinxiu was included. “Gu Jinxiu has been so unlucky recently. Would she agree to be compared?”

Tan Ying laughed and gloated. “People are so eager to make a report that they don’t necessarily have to interview her. If she refuses, it will also be a report based on other information.” This report was nothing more than a description of ladies in general, and there was nothing too secretive. They just had to pull photos from other places and talk about what the lady was doing.

After all, if she refused to report, it was still Gu Jinxiu who would suffer. Who knew what the magazine would write?

Xia Yingluo was very clever and understood Tan Ying’s key point immediately. She smiled. “She’s really unlucky.” The timing of the report was very important. If it had been a while ago, Gu Jinxiu was about to hold an immense wedding ceremony and the report would have been enviable. But now? She was humiliated and her face fell to the ground, so how could she not be considered unlucky?

Xia Yingluo accepted the interview happily.

The interview was conducted in her small garden, and the housekeeper carefully prepared an English afternoon tea for them.

The reporter sent by the magazine was very happy with her, and admired her for her speech and cultivation. He couldn’t help saying, “Ms. Xia, even when among the other noble ladies, you’re too outstanding. I interviewed so many people, but you’re honestly the most beautiful and the most knowledgable.”

Xia Yingluo smiled. “You’re flattering me.”

The reporter chatted happily. “It’s no wonder you have so many admirers. Some time ago, Mr. Wei also…”

He was shocked to have drifted away from his script and quickly changed the topic.

Xia Yingluo, however, keenly grasped the keyword. “Mr. Wei? Wei Lingnan? What happened to him?”

The reporter was awkward. “Nothing, nothing.”

Xia Yingluo narrowed her eyes slightly. “I don’t like it when other people hide something from me.” She was a big missy held in the palm of others since young, and she was so charismatic at this moment that the reporter was stunned.

The reporter said, “I… I can’t say. I overheard it.”

“What did you overhear?” Xia Yingluo continued to tempt him. “Tell me, or I’ll just go to your magazine to ask myself.”

“Don’t!” The reporter panicked and cried. “Ms. Xia, please don’t go. I will be stripped off my title by the editor-in-chief! I, I’ll just tell you…”

“Tell me.”

Thus, the reporter opened his mouth bitterly. “The other day I passed by the editor-in-chief’s office and heard her talking to someone inside. She said, ‘Mr. Wei, rest assured, I will arrange someone to do a comparative report between the two ladies. It’ll definitely be traceless and satisfactory.’ I was curious at the time, so I took note of it. Within a few minutes, a gentleman walked out of the editor-in-chief’s office, and it was Mr. Wei Lingnan.”

Wei Lingnan was not a celebrity, but his recent scandal with Xia Yingluo and Gu Jinxiu was so popular that he became a noticeable figure, and had been recognized by the keen reporter at a glance.

Xia Yingluo was stunned. “This report was made by Wei Lingnan?”

The reporter said, “I don’t know. I only overheard those words. Probably… maybe… yes.”

These few words were very self-explanatory.

Xia Yingluo regained her senses and asked, “You said ‘two noble ladies’. Is the other one Gu Jinxiu?”

The reporter was still bitter. “I really don’t know. When the editor-in-chief issued the task, there were six ladies on the list.”

Xia Yingluo understood it immediately. It was probably because comparing just the two ladies alone would be too obvious. To find a good name, the magazine had found four more people. She had mixed feelings inside. She should be annoyed about Wei Lingnan’s involvement, but somehow she felt a little sour. What did Wei Lingnan want to do? Help her deal with Gu Jinxiu?

Once he knew she was the queen, his attitude turned really fast.

“Ms. Xia, Ms. Xia?” The reporter called her carefully.

She then looked back from her contemplation and said, “It’s okay. This interview was very enjoyable, just follow the report we talked about. I’m tired and want to take a break. I’ll ask the housekeeper to accompany you out.”

The reported nodded and went out.

Xia Yingluo’s eyes became clearer. She took out her cell phone and dialed Wei Lingnan’s phone. “I want to see you.”

She was clear now. So what if he wanted to curry favor with her? He only courted the status of the “Queen”, not as herself, Xia Yingluo or Ah Luo. She didn’t need such a courting.

It took a long time for Wei Lingnan to come.

He also brought a woman, Gu Jinxiu.

She glanced at Gu Jinxiu, who had her hands and feet tied on the ground. Xia Yingluo’s gaze turned to Wei Lingnan. “I didn’t tell you to bring someone else.”

Wei Lingnan bowed his head and said, “Sorry. I thought Your Majesty wanted to see her punished.” Since last leaving the Xia family, Wei Lingnan had been following her news secretly. He was very clear on the conflict that happened when she returned to the city and met Gu Jinxiu. That was why he asked the magazine to plan the report. On one hand, he could punish Gu Jinxiu, and on the other hand, he could increase her popularity and collect more energy for her.

“Your Majesty?” Xia Yingluo noticed the change of his title keenly. “Do you still have this queen in your eyes?”

Wei Lingnan didn’t say anything.

He remembered that on the last day on the Skatana Planet, he had broken through the barriers of the army into her residence, looking at her aggressively and smiling with satisfaction. “You are mine, Ah Luo.” He really didn’t treat her as a queen, she was just his Ah Luo.

But now he dared not do this.

The explosion made him understand how tough Ah Luo was, and he was afraid that he might accidentally lose her again.

He didn’t have the courage to wait for billions of years again.

Chapter 1384: Gu Jinxiu’s Plea

Xia Yingluo got up and walked towards him step by step.

Her stiletto heels stopped one step away from him. With her ten-inch heels, she was almost as tall him. She gazed coldly into his eyes. “Why did you use ‘Tidal’ magazine to help me? Also, why did you interfere in the promotional work for ‘Star Wars Era?'”

After learning about what happened in ‘Tidal’ magazine, she sent someone to investigate and found out that Wei Lingnan had a lot of involvement in it.

Surprisingly, no one found out.

Wei Lingnan was slightly surprised. He did not expect her to look for him regarding this. After returning to the city, he did secretly intervene a lot because he knew that she needed energy. Even if she was not willing to accept his help, he was willing to secretly help her and the World Tree in her survive difficult times.

“I should be doing those things.” He slightly lowered his head. “I apologize for not telling you in advance.”

If he told her in advance, she would definitely tell him to get lost.

Thinking about this, Wei Lingnan’s expression darkened.

Xia Yingluo sneered. “You apologize for not telling me in advance? I think it’s still not too late yet. Didn’t you do this on purpose to make me find out myself and use this as an excuse to make me forgive you?” Since the trust between them was lost, it was natural for her to think this way.

She stared at him intensely. Even though her tone was accusatory, deep down, she wished that he would deny it.

She did not know what sort of mentality she should have. Her secret desire burned inside her like a flame, and it made her restless.

However, she was destined to be disappointed.

Wei Lingnan did not bother to explain. He only said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry.” What could an explanation do? It would just add insult to injury. He lifted his head to look at her, hoping that his humble appearance could gain her mercy. “Your majesty, please allow me to stay by your side and help you regain your energy. The energy consumption of the World Tree is too great, and it’s too hard for you to do this on your own.”

Her heart ached and her voice turned colder. “You still think you can stay beside me after what happened? I asked you to come here today to tell you to stay away from me! The further the better! In the future, you are not allowed to interfere in anything related to me!”

She wanted to stop him from interfering in her career again.

Although life would be difficult without Wei Lingnan’s help, it was better than facing him every day. Xia Yingluo did not want to see this man in front of her every day and did not want him to appear around the people close to her. Every time she heard his name, her heart would ache. It would take a very long time for her heart to heal after a million-year love affair.

“Ah Luo!” Wei Lingnan anxiously yelled.

“This is an order.” She looked at him coldly. “Are you going to defy me?”

A small breeze swept a few green leaves towards them and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers that bloomed in the late spring.

The two of them faced each other quietly. Both of them knew that if Wei Lingnan wanted to, he could defy his weak queen’s order given his strength today. However, Wei Lingnan did not do that and only bowed his head.

He was clear of the consequences of defying her orders. Both of them would become distant and he could not bear for that to happen.

Xia Yingluo coldly snorted. There was a slight disappointment in her heart. It was so strange. Wasn’t this the outcome she wanted? She forced herself to ignore her complicated feelings, turned around and was about to leave.

“Ah Luo!” Wei Lingnan grabbed hold of her from behind.

She was unstable and fell into his arms. Before she could break free, his kiss had already overwhelmed her. It was intimate, long and almost suffocated her. After a long time, he finally let her go. Before she could stand up straight, she gave him a tight slap. In horror, her fingertips had transformed into sharp claws. After this slap, five deep blood-stained marks appeared on his face.

She gasped for air and glared for him. “How dare you!”

He was silent but did not regret what he did.

He just missed her too much.

His yearning for her was deep in his bones. At that moment when she spun around, he was seized with a sudden impulse to kiss her. He had waited for her for millions of years. Now, she was just right in front of him, but because of his past mistakes, she was out of reach. He was really afraid that once she turned around, things would never be the same. Now that she did not even need his help, how else could he get closer to her?

Wei Lingnan was heartbroken as he looked at her deeply. Blood flowed from his cheeks like a stream and soon, half of his body was stained red.

Xia Yingluo’s heart ached again. She did not intend to hurt him like this, but who knew that her claws would appear uncontrollably? However, she already injured him and could not say that she was sorry. She resisted the urge to help him with his wound, turned around and walked away.

“Ah Luo.” Behind her, he called her again. “Don’t go…”

Seeing that she was getting further, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “How should I deal with Gu Jinxiu?”

Xia Yingluo finally remembered that Gu Jinxiu was still tied up on the ground.

She turned around and saw the woman lying on the ground. The woman looked at them in horror and her eyes seemed to be begging them for mercy.

Gu Jinxiu knew that she had made a grievous mistake. One hour earlier when Wei Lingnan broke through the window and kidnapped her from her bedroom, she knew that things were bad. That man looked at her like she was a dead body. She had pleaded with Wei Lingnan. “Nan, I love you! I am your Ah Luo! Why are you suddenly doing this to me?”

“You are not Ah Luo.” Wei Lingnan’s voice was like ice. “You lied to me for so long and tried to frame the true Ah Luo, so you will get what you deserve.” Since that day in the laboratory when Gu Jinxiu tried to kill Xia Yingluo, Wei Lingnan never bothered about her again. He locked himself in the laboratory and came to the conclusion that Xia Yingluo was the true queen. After that, he relentlessly tried to look for Xia Yingluo, secretly helped her with her film’s publicity and did not have time to deal with Gu Jinxiu.

However, no matter what, Gu Jinxiu must be given the most severe form of punishment.

Now, with Xia Yingluo’s order, he guessed that she was eager to punish Gu Jinxiu herself.

However, Xia Yingluo just glanced at Gu Jinxiu reluctantly. “Take your trash and scram! You should solve the problems that you caused yourself!”

“Miss Xia! Your majesty! I beg you. Please help me!” Gu Jinxiu acted like she saw a ray of hope and cried. At the end of the day, she only offended Xia Yingluo and it seemed like Xia Yingluo was not even interested in getting even. Perhaps if she continued to beg, there was some hope for her to dodge the bullet.

Gu Jinxiu was very aware that Wei Lingnan could not wait to turn her into a corpse. If he did not want Xia Yingluo to punish her, who knows how many times she would have died already. However, now Xia Yingluo told him to get lost with her. If she left with Wei Lingnan, things would not be good for her.

Her life depended on Xia Yingluo!

Gu Jinxiu begged harder.

Chapter 1385: Fan Meeting

The proud daughter of a rich family was now as lowly as an ant.

Disgust flashed in Xia Yingluo’s eyes. She could not believe that she lost to a love rival like that. It was really upsetting… She looked at Gu Jinxiu. “Stop whining. If you make more noise, I will kill you right now.”

She was so aggressive that Gu Jinxiu immediately stopped crying and looked at her pleadingly.

Gu Jinxiu knew that Xia Yingluo wanted her dead, but so what? Her life was in her hands and she could only submit to her. “Your majesty, I am also from Skatana Planet and have powers. I beg you to let me live…”

Xia Yingluo was unmoved. Before she wanted to leave again, Wei Lingnan spoke. “Are you really not going to punish her?”

She looked coldly at Wei Lingnan. “Do you think that I even bear a grudge against her? You’re seriously thinking too highly of her.”

When Gu Jinxiu heard it, her heart wrenched. It turned out that she was not even worthy of her hatred!

Wei Lingnan’s feelings were complicated, but he was slightly relieved. It seemed that in Ah Luo’s heart, his position was much higher than Gu Jinxiu’s. At least he was worthy of her hatred. With this in mind, Wei Lingnan smiled bitterly in his heart. Once upon a time, he was the strongest warrior in Skatana Planet, so why did he fall to such a state?

Seeing that Xia Yingluo was leaving again, Wei Lingnan quickly stopped her. “Wait, your majesty! If you don’t want to kill her, then how about spare her life? I could ask her to help you find more energy. Since you aren’t willing to see me, let me use her to send the energy to you once I’ve found it. It’s too dangerous for you to look for energy alone!”

This was inspired by Gu Jinxiu’s words just now, and it was the only remaining use of her.

He knew how stubborn Ah Luo was. She might really reject his help to look for more energy, but how could she do it alone? Since she did not want to see him, they could compromise and he could contact her indirectly through Gu Jinxiu, so they would not lose contact completely.

The fear of being abandoned by Ah Luo made him extremely uneasy.

This time, Xia Yingluo did not refuse him on the spot.

Although she sneered and wanted the two of them to get lost, logic stopped her.

Wei Lingnan was right. She was too weak right now and could not gather energy by herself. It was always good to have one more helper. She previously refused Wei Lingnan’s help because she did not want to see him appear in front of her and stir up her emotions again. However, it was different with Gu Jinxiu. No matter what, Gu Jinxiu was just a lowly ant and her presence did not bother her much.

Hundreds of millions of years ago when Skatana Planet was still there, once the queen became pregnant, the entire race was dispatched to help her gather energy.

Since Gu Jinxiu was so willing and was a member of the Skatana Planet, it was time to show her loyalty.

“I don’t want to see you,” she said to Wei Lingnan. “Once you collect the energy, Gu Jinxiu will send it to me alone.” She was not worried about Gu Jinxiu playing tricks. Now, she was not injured and had a clear mind, so she was able to differentiate the pure energy and tampered energy. She would not be hurt by poisonous energy like in the past.

After hearing her, Wei Lingnan was overjoyed. He quickly agreed. “Ok!”

This was already the best result he could get presently. He could only approach her one step at a time.

Xia Yingluo snorted. She did not stay any longer and left quickly.

After sending Wei Lingnan away, she devoted herself to looking for energy.

The response of the movie “Star Wars Era” was excellent and she accumulated a huge fan base. Everyone said that her performance in the movie was amazing like a real alien warrior. Cruel, beautiful, cold and elegant.

She felt relaxed. She drew inspiration partly from experience for this movie, so it was not difficult to act.

Besides, with the addition of award-winning Movie King Jiang Yu, the result was outstanding.

Jiang Yu also participated in the promotional activities with her and the two of them held a fan meeting together.

In the lounge, Jiang Yu, who was wearing a beige suit, smiled and asked Xia Yingluo, “Recently, you’re looking better. It seems that you are recovering slowly.” The last time she fainted at the wedding, the Li Family explained that she lacked nutrients. Now, it seemed that her recovery was not bad and she no longer looked as weak as before.

Xia Yingluo put on a layer of lip gloss in front of the mirror and said casually, “Yes.”

“Did Wei Lingnan disturb you?” Wei Lingnan asked with utmost concern.

After Xia Yingluo applied her lip gloss, she turned to look at her colleague. “I don’t want to hear that person’s name,” she said in a very soft voice, but it still sounded like an order because she was used to doing that.

Jiang Yu was slightly startled for a moment and realized that he had offended Xia Yingluo. His eyes flickered slightly and he smiled. “I’m sorry. I don’t have any other intentions. I’m just concerned about you.”

Xia Yingluo also breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you for your concern.”

The lounge fell silent.

Jiang Yu was not as relaxed as he looked. Xia Yingluo said she did not want to hear that person’s name, but it also showed that she still thought about that person. Otherwise, her reaction would not be so big. Jiang Yu secretly wondered why the wedding was canceled like that. After that, he did not hear about any news of Gu Jinxiu and Wei Lingnan rescheduling their wedding. Now, everyone thought that the wedding between these two people would never happen. This was not good news for Jiang Yu.

As long as that man was not married, there was always the possibility of him stealing his woman.

Jiang Yu carefully glanced at the beautiful yet sullen Xia Yingluo. No, he had to get her as soon as possible.

He went into deep thought.

Suddenly, a worker knocked on the door to let them know that the fan meeting was about to start and they could come out now.

Xia Yingluo stood up. She was wearing a delicate silver-blue dress and looked like an elegant mermaid as she walked towards the door.

However, Jiang Yu did not follow her. He smiled a little apologetically. “Yingluo, I suddenly do not feel well, so I’m going to the bathroom first. Please go on stage first, I will appear later.”

The fan meeting was not a large event, and it was not the first time the two of them worked together. Now that there was a slight hiccup, Xia Yingluo did not think too much about it. She only nodded and said, “Take care.” After that, she went to the venue alone.

The moment she emerged from backstage, a small cheer erupted in the small crowd. The fans screamed her name and their voices almost overturned the roof.
