A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return-Chapter 1319

Chapter 1319: Feast on the Snowy Night

This winter was very long. Xia Yingluo’s body was getting better, but she was still depressed.

The family took turns to accompany her, trying to help her out of the shadow as soon as possible. She recognized their kindness and worked hard to cooperate by smiling. But no matter what she was doing, she would suddenly remember the time with Wei Lingnan. When she saw a flower, she thought of the little white flower he had sent her, and when she saw purple, she thought of the mysterious and distant planet. When she saw snow falling, she thought of the night when he crossed half of the city and came to her window, just to say “I miss you”…

Bit by bit, it was usual at the time.

It now seemed painful.

She said nothing, but the family could see how deep her injury was.

Xia Ling said to Li Lei in private, “I’m worried about Yingluo.” She began to regret sending Yingluo out for training. If she had known things would come to this, she would have kept her by her side even if it meant violating the Li family’s rules. But now, it was too late to say anything.

Li Lei comforted her. “That child is very strong.”

Xia Ling shook her head. In terms of feelings, which girl was indestructible?

She remembered the pain of leaving Pei Ziheng at the beginning and of her heart being torn. If it was not for Li Lei’s company during that difficult period, maybe she would be in the dark forever in this life. She bowed her head a little, and after a long time, said to Li Lei, “What do you think… about finding another boyfriend for Yingluo?”

“Okay,” Li Lei answered without thinking. Maybe he also remembered the experience of Xia Ling. Li Lei agreed that “the best way to end a relationship was to start a new relationship.” If someone could accompany his daughter to make her forget the pain, as a father, he couldn’t ask for more.

Xia Ling smiled. “Let’s have a banquet.”

So, in this deep snow-covered winter, Li family invited many celebrities and held a banquet in a private estate on the outskirts of the city.

Of course, certain families were excluded from the guest list.

Although no one said more to Xia Yingluo, she knew that this banquet was specially held for her, and she didn’t want to dampen the mood, so she cooperated very well. She was already beautiful, and she carefully dressed herself to look good. She had long hair hanging down her shoulders and a gorgeous mink shawl around her shoulders that made her look like a princess.

She entertained the guests in the banquet hall, then took an unnoticed break to run outdoors to ventilate.

At night, the sky was full of stars in the black velvet sky, the courtyard was lit with night lights, and the stars dotted the night sky.

She asked for a glass of sparkling water, looked up at the starry sky, and her sight fell unconsciously on a faraway place—once pointed to her by Wei Lingnan, where the Skatana Planet was located.

It turned out that she was not his Ah Luo.

But she didn’t expect that this Ah Luo would be Gu Jinxiu?

It was… annoying.

Xia Yingluo smiled with ridicule, knowing that this was her own prejudice. Gu Jinxiu in the eyes of others was not annoying. The woman had received elite training since she was a child, and had been trained by the Gu family as the second heir. She was not only knowledgeable but also proficient in various business means. People said that Gu Jinxiu was much better than her useless brother.

As for Xia Yingluo?

Every day she ate at home and waited to die and was a complete lazy bug. Compared to Gu Jinxiu, how could she be better?

The night breeze blew into her heart with a coolness.

There was a slight movement around her, and she turned to glance at it and saw a man wearing a silver-gray tailored suit, with a beautiful smile on his face.

The man politely said to her, “Beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor to sit by your side?”

Xia Yingluo smiled politely. “Of course, Jiang Yu.”

The man really sat down on another wicker chair beside her, and spoke very naturally, “I can’t believe you still remember my name.” His voice was very nice, with just the right amount of magnetism and gentleness. It made people feel like spring had come earlier. The last time they met in the backstage of Xia Ling’s concert, they had chatted, and now they were meeting for the second time.

“I have always had a good memory,” Xia Yingluo said.

She was not interested in talking, and lowered her eyes, watching the soda in the glass quietly.

Jiang Yu was not affected by her faint indifference, and asked, “You are the protagonist of this banquet. Why not go inside and play with them? Why are you sitting here alone?”

“I’m the protagonist?” Xia Yingluo said softly, with a self-mockery in her eyes. “You all know it was done for me.” The commercial battle between the Li and Gu families was too quiet, and the two heroines were also gossipped about. Since Wei Lingnan and Gu Jinxiu were together, then Xia Yingluo’s loneliness was certain.

Jiang Yu smiled. “Poor parents in the world. Their thoughts are easily guessed.”

Xia Yingluo was not familiar with him and was unwilling to talk in depth, so she didn’t answer.

Jiang Yu said, “Sorry, did I make you unhappy?”

“No,” Xia Yingluo said. She had come out to avoid the guests, and her parents would be disappointed if they found out. But now, she could use Jiang Yu as an excuse.

“Good.” Jiang Yu talked eloquently. “Actually, I also came out to be lazy. This is a big manor, I walked around and found that this was the cleanest and most comfortable place. I can enjoy the snow and block the wind, and no one is bothering me. Miss Xia, you’re good at finding a nice place.”

Xia Yingluo asked, “Why are you lazy?”

Jiang Yu shook the wine glass in his hand gently. The silver-blue cocktail was charming. “Too much entertainment, I don’t like it.” He was a popular star, and was always in the social field. He was already tired from singing and acting, and didn’t want to keep socializing with people.

Xia Yingluo glanced at him sideways. “Speaking to me is not entertainment?”

They were not well acquainted.

Jiang Yu handsome’s face chuckled again. “No. You won’t flatter me, nor take my word for it, and you won’t try to get anything from me. I don’t need to be fake.”

This person was a bit interesting, and Xia Yingluo looked at him again. “What about you, what do you want from me?”

Jiang Yu’s eyes were energetic. “I want to be friends with you, are we friends now?”

“Why?” Xia Yingluo asked, “because I’m Li Lei’s daughter?”

“You’re honest.” Jiang Yu didn’t feel embarrassed by her problems and still smiled calmly. “Half of it is, half of it isn’t.”

“What does that mean?” Xia Yingluo didn’t want to chat with him at first, but now she was attracted.

Jiang Yu leaned his body in the chair and enjoyed the night breeze with the scattered snowflakes. “From the first time I saw you, I had a good impression on you. And of course, I have to pursue a girl I have good feelings towards. Otherwise, I would be wasting my time on Earth, wouldn’t I? And it just so happens that your family is so good, so I would be killing two birds with one stone. Would you get offended if I say that?”
