Chapter 1271: Jiang Bilian Concedes

Zhao Yixuan’s eyes lit up.

He quickly said to Xia Yingluo, “My engagement with Pei Yan is only temporary. Yingluo, as long as you promise to be with me, I’ll immediately cancel my engagement with her.”

Xia Yingluo was astonished. She didn’t expect Zhao Yixuan to be this shameless. He hadn’t even canceled his engagement with Pei Yan and was clearly trying to step on two boats. If she rejected him, he would return back to Pei Yan. At that moment, Xia Yingluo actually pitied Pei Yan.

She suppressed her disgust and continued to ask Zhao Yixuan, “The two of us are unsuitable, why should I be with you? Do you think that every girl is Pei Yan?”

Zhao Yixuan said adoringly, “Yingluo, you don’t have to worry about money at all with your family background. You just have to find a person who loves you. I love you so much, and will definitely take good care of you. When we’re married, I’ll help you manage your assets and operate the matters regarding the entertainment industry so that you don’t have to worry.”

This time, not only was Xia Yingluo stunned, but even Jin Ling’er and a few of the other trainees were also stunned. They didn’t expect Zhao Yixuan to have no limits. It was okay to want to marry an honorable rich lady like Xia Yingluo, but he had even planned his life after getting married to her. He said he was going to help Xia Yingluo manage her assets, but in reality, wasn’t it just dividing up Xia Yingluo’s assets using the name of marriage?

There were really no limits to how cheap a person could become.

Xia Yingluo smiled and looked at Zhao Yixuan. She asked slowly, “Do you remember when we broke up, I went to the casino to find you? Do you remember what you said to me?”

Zhao Yixuan’s expression turned awkward. “I...”

Xia Yingluo said, “Back then, you said that I was only a little poor trainee using all kinds of methods to get into Imperial Entertainment, yet I still had the wishful thinking that you would fall for me? You even said that I only came to you because you’re Imperial’s most outstanding manager. Do you remember all these words?”

Zhao Yixuan’s expression got even more awkward. “Yingluo, let me explain...”

Xia Yingluo sneered and interrupted him. “Zhao Yixuan, now I’ll leave these words untouched and give them back to you. You’re just Imperial Entertainment’s little manager, yet you still have the wishful thinking that I would fall for you? You only came to me because I’m Li Lei’s daughter, you’re simply shameless!”

Zhao Yixuan’s face turned pale. He didn’t expect Xia Yingluo to be so sharp. Where was the smiley and naive girl who was always chasing after him? He suddenly felt very regretful. Such a good opportunity had been in front of him back then, and he didn’t even cherish such a golden opportunity the sky dropped for him. Now that he had lost it, he realized that it was so difficult to have something fall into his lap after losing it.

If he hadn’t broken up with Xia Yingluo out of greed back then, and gotten together with Pei Yan, then would things have been different today? He would have been Xia Yingluo’s fiancee and the Li family’s son-in-law. He would have both fame and fortune and wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing.

Zhao Yixuan was filled with immense regret. He understood what he had lost and his heart was bleeding. He stood still and his lips moved, but no words came out.

Xia Yingluo looked away, grabbed Jin Ling’er’s hand and said, “Ling’er, let’s go.”

They left the dance classroom and walked into the sunlight.

Jin Ling’er suddenly laughed. “Yingluo, do you know just how impressive you were just now? Look at Zhao Yixuan’s expression, he was so furious. And the other’s expressions too, hahaha, it really helps me vent my anger.”

Xia Yingluo’s expression showed her disappointment and frustration. It did indeed help her vent her anger, but they were all things that had pierced her heart dagger by dagger before and had born scars out of her blood and tears.

Now, things were the same but the people had changed.

Jin Ling’er noticed she was in a bad mood and came forward to comfort her. “Don’t think too much, who doesn’t run into bastards like him in their youth? It’s best to escape from their clutches early, so you should rejoice that you didn’t suffer many losses.”

Xia Yingluo forced a smile and suddenly thought of a question. “How does Zhao Yixuan know my identity?”

Jin Ling’er was also curious. “I wonder who told him, maybe it was Pei Yan?”

Xia Yingluo frowned. Maybe, there was no other explanation. But how did Pei Yan know? During the Du family’s banquet, the Du family knew that the Li and Pei families didn’t see eye to eye and hence, didn’t invite the Pei family. It could only be said that news in high society spread fast. Only a few days had passed but she had become a household name.

She sighed and felt like her life wouldn’t be peaceful anymore.

Jin Ling’er didn’t think so much. She stretched lazily in the sunlight. “That’s good, Yingluo. Now they all know your identity. We’ll see who still dares to bully you.”

Talking about this, Xia Yingluo glared at her lightly. “You really couldn’t help but reveal my identity.”

Jin Ling’er smiled. “It’s such a good family background. If I hide it and don’t tell anyone, it’ll be like dressing up at night. What’s the point? The sooner we expose it, the sooner those annoying flies stop buzzing around our ears.”

“Just wait, they’ll fly around us in a different way.” Xia Yingluo was very experienced and laughed bitterly. “No matter when, there won’t be a lack of flies around us.”

She was right.

After that day, everyone in the training camp changed their attitude toward Xia Yingluo. From looking down on her previously to minding their own business later on, now, they greeted her with smiling faces, treated her respectfully and were especially enthusiastic.

Especially Jiang Bilian, she was bent on repairing her relationship with Xia Yingluo.

That day, she made many little desserts and sent it to Xia Yingluo. She said with a smile, “Yingluo, I was wrong back then, please don’t put it to heart. These are some little desserts I made personally as a form of apology.” She was always virtuous and elegant, so the little desserts she made looked professional.

Xia Yingluo was picky and was long used to eating what her father personally made as well as the finest meals in the entire world. Furthermore, she was a good cook herself, so Jiang Bilian’s desserts were simply unimpressive to her. However, her father had always told her to be lenient whenever possible. Otherwise, she might be knocked down if she collected too many enemies. If she didn’t believe it, she could just look at her mother’s history. At the thought of her mother’s history, Xia Yingluo decided to forgive Jiang Bilian. She smiled and said, “I’ll accept the desserts. Let bygones be bygones, we’re friends from now on.”

Jiang Bilian was unable to contain her joy. She thanked her continuously, complimenting her for being elegant and magnanimous, worthy of being a young lady of note.

Xia Yingluo laughed secretly inside. Why was it that before her identity was exposed, Jiang Bilian couldn’t tell that she was elegant and magnanimous? In the end, it was just a thing of the moment. If she ever fell into dire straits, she was certain that Jiang Bilian would step on her viciously and be even wicker than before.
