A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

chapter-1195
“Rest assured, I have arranged everything.” Pei Chengyou wore an expensive hand-sewn suit and held a glass of red wine in his hands. He lowered his voice to speak to Pei Yan, but his eyes lingered on Xia Yingluo, reluctant to leave.
His sister had only said she was a cheap girl, but she didn’t say she was so beautiful!
Pei Chengyou’s eyes darkened a little, and he smiled slyly. “Rest assured… I’ll teach her a very memorable lesson…”
Pei Yan didn’t notice his abnormality and said angrily, “Make her regret provoking me!”
Pei Chengyou reluctantly withdrew his sight from the stage. “Okay, I know, you go toast, as usual. Don’t dilly-dally and come back to the table soon. Didn’t you see how many people have surrounded brother-in-law? We rarely have a chance to talk to him. Come on, don’t waste it.”Pei Yan quickly hurried away.
Pei Chengyou also tidied his suit and walked towards the main table, planning to give a toast.
In the middle of the main table, under several Imperial Entertainment’s executives and business leaders carefully escort, a calm and majestic middle-aged man sat with a cold and solemn face. He was wearing a finely crafted dark gray suit, and his tall figure was motionless. His deep eyes stared at the fairy-like girl on the stage—the dancing Xia Yingluo.
Some junior tried to come forward to toast him, but his admiring eyes never left the girl.
Pei Chengyou paused before he walked forward. Brother-in-law… has taken a fancy to Xia Yingluo?
On the stage, the song
The room broke out in applause.
Pei Yan returned to the main table from giving toasts in a hurry and said with a loud laugh, “Our children in the training camp really danced very well. Today is a day of joy and the children have worked hard. Take the little gifts home and make the guests here happy.”
Jiang Bilian, Zhu Zhu, Zhang Qiang, and the others were so happy that they saluted quickly.
Xia Yingluo was still standing motionlessly. She knew that if this woman had any tricks up her sleeves, it was time she showcased them.
Sure enough, someone beside Pei Yan said, “The girl in the middle, you… yes, you! Why aren’t you bowing and thanking Ms. Pei? Do you not know the rules?” There was a microphone on his jacket and his voice sounded loudly across the whole room. Everyone in the venue heard it and turned over to look.
Xia Yingluo stood motionless under all the attention, a slight smirk on her face.
She took a few steps to the side of the stage, held the host’s microphone, and spoke with a clear voice that spread through the audience like water. “The first salute is curtain etiquette and is the rule. The second time is for me to thank Pei Yan for her rewards? I’m sorry, but I don’t accept it. She is not eligible to reward me.”
“You!” Pei Yan didn’t expect her to be so arrogant in front of the guests. Her whole body shook with anger. She had originally planned out everything, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to reward all trainees—except Xia Yingluo. Xia Yingluo would definitely be angry and would complain, then she would fuss over her lacking dance, criticizing her until she was totally refuted and her face was lost. She would be able to vent her anger that way.
But who knew that Xia Yingluo was not only perceptive and didn’t give her the opportunity to humiliate her, but even checkmated her?!
Under the attention of everyone in the banquet hall, Xia Yingluo stood on the stage in a state of steadiness. Her beautiful eyes were limpid and translucent as if she could see through the hearts of the audience. The corner of her lips was curled up in a smirk as if teasing Pei Yan for overestimating her capabilities.
In the middle of the main table, the calm and majestic middle-aged man interlaced his fingers slightly. This was a small subconscious movement he made when his heart was moved.
Pei Yan’s man rebuked Xia Yingluo. “What is Ms. Pei’s identity? Who are you to be disrespectful to her, apologize to her quickly!”
Xia Yingluo smiled. She walked to the projector next to the stage with the microphone and said, “Make way.” The person-in-charge of the projector didn’t know what she was going to do, but was deterred by her momentum and subconsciously let go.
Xia Yingluo took out the small and thin mobile phone that was placed close to her—God knew where she hid it when she was dancing and connected it to the projector easily. Then, an unsightly photo appeared on the big screen in the banquet hall. A man and woman with their bodies intertwined together… it was the bed photo of Zhao Yixuan and Pei Yan that had been sent to her!
This…
It was too out of place!
There was a scream in the banquet hall, and many female guests turned their heads and did not dare to look at it again.
The male guests had different expressions. They glanced between Pei Yan, Zhao Yixuan and Xia Yingluo on the stage, guessing the situation.
A beautiful smile bloomed on Xia Yingluo’s delicate face, but she looked more like a devil to Pei Yan. “Pei Yan, you robbed my boyfriend, and you showed me this kind of shameless photo. Not only that, you put pressure on the training camp with your Pei identity and forced me to dance to celebrate your engagement party with my ex-boyfriend. What qualification do you, a shameless woman, have to reward me?”
The guests in the hall finally figured out their relationship. It turned out to be a love-triangle story.
This Pei Yan was really petty. Forget about snatching this little trainee’s boyfriend, she even forced her to dance here, wasn’t it deliberately sprinkling salt on her wounds? She was really too vicious. At that moment, many guests shook their heads at Pei Yan’s character.
Pei Yan’s expression turned gray. She had thought that by putting pressure on the training camp, Xia Yingluo would have to be bullied obediently, but she didn’t expect her to stake it all out and expose that shameful photo so crazily. “Delete the picture!” Her voice changed.
Xia Yingluo sneered. She saw two staff members coming up, and before they could reach her, she threw the mobile phone on the ground casually.
The projector’s light flickered a little, and the big screen went dark. The large indecent photo covering the entire wall disappeared. However, its purpose had been achieved. Although the photo was not on the screen anymore, it had been firmly engraved in the hearts of every guest. Before attending the engagement banquet, she had already made up her mind. Since Pei Yan and Zhao Yixuan were determined to make things difficult for her, she wouldn’t let them go so easily either. She was determined to turn the sky and earth upside down. And this photo was, of course, the best weapon that could make this dog couple suffer a loss to their face.
At this moment, looking at Pei Yan’s embarrassed expression and Zhao Yixuan’s equally embarrassed face, Xia Yingluo was very happy. “Do you like my gift?” Xia Yingluo said, “I haven’t congratulated you on your engagement, hehe.”
“Throw her out… Throw her out for me!” Pei Yan yelled madly.
The staff members who maintained order at the scene looked at each other. Since things had come to this, it was really the best choice to throw Xia Yingluo out.
