Chapter 1287
A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return
Xia Yingluo didnât have many feelings towards this kind of atmosphere. She had always loved to move and could never stand still. But she felt happy to stand next to Wei Lingnan. However, her eyes kept surveying her surroundings, and she suddenly saw a crystal shop nearby. She dragged Wei Lingnanâs hand and said, âLetâs go over there and see.â
Girls always liked things that sparkled and shone, so Wei Lingnan let her pull him there.
The shop was very big and had various crystal ornaments. They were in the shape of flowers, fishes and other abstract shapes that couldnât be named. There were necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and brooches. The glittering jewels delighted the eyes with their dazzling splendor.
âLook at these, they are so beautiful,â Xia Yingluo said to Wei Lingnan. âThat tree peony flower brooch is so beautiful. Itâs my first time seeing such a beautiful brooch.â
Wei Lingnan lowered his head. âDo you like it? I can give it to you.â
Xia Yingluo shook her head and looked away longingly. âI have enough accessories already and my dormitory canât keep more. Anyways, weâre here to listen to the concert today, it wonât be convenient to hold onto a brooch.â Although the broochâs various colors looked pretty, it didnât match with her evening gown today, so she couldnât put it on directly. It would only be a burden in her hands.
After leaving the brooch display, she went to look elsewhere and gradually walked further and further. Wei Lingnan was originally accompanying her, but he walked away without her knowledge and took the brooch she liked from the display. He said to the salesperson, âPack it up.â
Xia Yingluo didnât realize what he was doing behind her.
The crystal handicraft dazzled her, and without warning, she bumped into someone.
She looked up and indeed, the road to enemies was narrow. It was Gu Jinxiu.
Gu Jinxiu also didnât expect her to come here. She was surprised upon seeing her. âXia Yingluo, why are you here?â
âYou can come, yet I canât?â Xia Yingluo said impolitely. She didnât like Gu Jinxiu and didnât even bother feigning friendliness with her.
Gu Jinxiu frowned slightly. âWho did you come with?â She had an ominous premonition in her heart. Earlier, she had invited Wei Lingnan to come to this concert with her but had been rejected. But now that Xia Yingluo was here. Could it be a coincidence?
âWhy do you care who Iâm with? Make way, a good dog doesnât block the way,â Xia Yingluo said.
Gu Jinxiu frowned. âXia Yingluo, why are you so vulgar?â They were both honorable and prestigious ladies. She was so elegant and cultured, yet Xia Yingluo was like this. What qualifications did she have to be supported by such a good family? Gu Jinxiu felt ashamed for her.
The crystal shop was originally very peaceful, but after seeing their dispute, a crowd slowly gathered.
Both of them were extremely beautiful and it was a rare sight to see such delicate beauties arguing.
Some people were already whispering to each other, âI wonder what grudges these two little beauties have with each other? Theyâre arguing so intensely.â
They were certainly intense.
Xia Yingluo sneered at Gu Jinxiu. âHavenât you learned your lesson back then during the banquet? You want to quarrel with me again?â
At the thought of the incident, Gu Jinxiuâs expression turned bad. That day, Wei Lingnan had gone there specially to visit Xia Yingluoâs parents and had even brought a gift. Where did that put her as his fiancee? With these thoughts, she said to Xia Yingluo, âI wasnât accusing you of being vulgar and uncultivated, why are you seducing my fiancee for? Iâm warning you, stay away from Wei Lingnan. Donât think you can do anything you want just because your family is wealthy. Donât be shameless.â
Xia Yingluo had yet to speak, but the expressions of the crowd suddenly revealed realization. It turned out this was the righteous wife fighting a mistress. It was really unexpected. This girl in front was so beautiful, but she was actually so fickle and seduced someone elseâs fiancee instead. A book really couldnât be judged by its cover.
âI already said beautiful women canât be trusted. I was right.â Someone whispered.
Xia Yingluo heard it and felt aggrieved. What? Gu Jinxiu was clearly not Wei Lingnanâs fiancee, but she was so good at pretending. Wasnât she just relying on Wei Lingnan having not exposed her? Seriously, Wei Lingnan, why was he being so indulgent towards Gu Jinxiu?
âThe shameless one is you,â she said to Gu Jinxiu.
âYouâre just a mistress, how could you be so arrogant?â The crowd couldnât hold it in anymore.
âYes, yes!â Someone else agreed and said loudly, âItâs the lowliest to be a mistress, you bitch!â
Gu Jinxiu revealed a proud expression. Since Xia Yingluo had snatched her fiancee, she would ruin her reputation and see who would win over who. The future was long. She said to Xia Yingluo, âDid you hear? Everyone called you wicked.â
âWho dared to call my woman wicked?â Suddenly, a manâs voice was heard.
The crowd turned back and saw Wei Lingnan, wearing a suit and walking unhurriedly over. He was elegant and immaculately dressed, making many girls blush.
However, Gu Jinxiuâs face turned pale. Wei Lingnan, it was indeed him. He didnât want to accompany her to the concert but was here now. Then, there was only one possibility. He had rejected her invitation to accompany Xia Yingluo here. Their importance in his heart was already obvious. She looked very wronged and called out, âLingnan...â
Wei Lingnan walked over to them through the crowd. She didnât even look at Gu Jinxiu and lowered his head to look at Xia Yingluo. âAre you okay?â
Xia Yingluo shook her head.
Gu Jinxiuâs expression was even more wronged and her eyes turned red.
Someone from the crowd couldnât stand it anymore and said, âYouâre the ladyâs fiancee, right? Why are you siding with your mistress, itâs too much! Canât you treat your fiancee well and dump your mistress?â
âYingluo isnât a mistress.â Wei Lingnanâs voice was faint but crisp in the ears of the crowd. âShe is my girlfriend. As for that lady over there...â He glanced at Gu Jinxiu, his eyes cold. âFiancee? I have never had a fiancee before, she self-proclaimed it. Gu Jinxiu, donât climb all over my face just because I gave you face.â
Xia Yingluo was stunned. She didnât expect him to expose her after accepting Gu Jinxiu so tacitly for so long.
However, she was so happy! Gu Jinxiu had finally gotten her punishment.
Gu Jinxiu stared in disbelief at Wei Lingnan. âLingnan, what are you saying?â
Wei Lingnanâs voice was light. âWas I not clear enough? I didnât have a girlfriend before and didnât want to fuss over it with you, but now that I have Yingluo, please donât act ostentatiously and swindle people while calling yourself my fiancee, Ms. Gu.â
His words were like a crisp slap to her face, and the crowd felt ashamed for Gu Jinxiu.
Gu Jinxiu shook her head. âThatâs not real... Lingnan, Iâve always been your fiancee! What spell has this girl put you under? To make you side with her?â
