A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return
chapter-1320

Xia Yingluo shook her head without feeling unhappy.

She has been used to being a young lady since she was a child. She had seen all kinds of people trying to curry favor with her, especially those pretentious people that she detested. On the contrary, Jiang Yu's words made her feel more comfortable.

What's more, she believed in the eyes of her parents.

She knew exactly what the banquet was for—her parents wanted her to make more friends, and all invited guests were on her potential friend list. His father's vision was so accurate, the characters listed on his list could not be bad.

Jiang Yu saw her shaking her head and grew more relaxed. "You're not the same as the other ladies."

Xia Yingluo said, "Is it?"

What were the other ladies like? Unexpectedly, she thought of Gu Jinxiu in her heart. She was so shrewd and capable, and nothing blocked her way. Xia Yingluo's face went dark.

Jiang Yu didn't realize her thoughts and continued. "It's too boring to always attend banquets, are you interested in going somewhere else with me? I know there's a hot spring ski resort on the outskirts of the city that's very fun."

"Hot spring ski resort?" Xia Yingluo asked.

"Yeah, it's very quiet there. I go every year. Are you interested in being with me?" Jiang Yu issued an invitation. An extremely popular star like him was surrounded by a group of people wherever he went. There were really few places to play well, and there was only one hot spring ski resort in the suburbs, so Jiang Yu cherished it.

Xia Yingluo thought about it and promised to go with him. She didn't want her family to worry all the time, and going out would at least give the illusion that she was walking out of the shadows.

Jiang Yu was very happy. A few days after the banquet, he really took her to the hot spring ski resort on the outskirts of the city.

The hot spring ski resort was on a membership system, and it was very well built. There were few people in the large venue, and Jiang Yu didn't have to worry about being recognized by fans. Xia Yingluo was a bit listless. She didn't go skiing but still liked the quiet and comfortable environment here. She woke up naturally every day and enjoyed the hot springs in her spare time.

It would have been perfect if she didn't meet that person.

On this day, as usual, she soaked in the hot spring in the outdoor pool. The hot spring water was clear and warm. The small snow drifted, and the small pavilion made of grass and trees was pleasing to the eye. She dipped most of her body in the spring water, like a beautiful mermaid, with long hair floating like seaweed in the water.

With her eyes half-closed, as if she was sleeping, she suddenly heard a voice. "Xia Yingluo, why are you here?"

Xia Yingluo's heart jumped and she was suddenly disturbed. She raised her eyes and looked at the other side. On the edge of the hot spring pool, a woman wearing a bathing suit and a bath towel, standing on the shore and looking down at her, turned out to be Gu Jinxiu. Xia Yingluo looked at the woman and irritability grew in her heart. All her good mood was destroyed and she was alert.

"Why do you care that I'm here?" She said coldly to Gu Jinxiu and sat up straight in the water. "You can come, but I can't come?"

"Of course you can come." Gu Jinxiu smiled. "I'm just a little surprised. After all, activities such as hot spring travel are usually done by two people. I'm here with Nan this time, I don't know who you came with? After leaving Nan, did you find a new boyfriend so soon?"

Xia Yingluo didn't notice the mockery in her words and was only attracted by one message. Wei Lingnan also came?

She had clearly broken up with him, but she was tense for no reason, and her body became a little stiff. If there was anyone in the world whom she least wanted to see, then that person was Wei Lingnan. After all, the scar left by the man was slowly healing, how could it happen here again? She got up from the hot spring pool, took her own towel from a wooden shelf on one side, and put it on her body. She didn't want to meet Wei Lingnan and was about to leave.

"Why? You're fleeing?" Gu Jinxiu smiled happily. "Ms. Xia, don't leave so fast, what if other people say I bullied you? After all, your parents are so powerful, and just because of a small thing like loving freely, they almost ruined my Gu family. But it's all thanks to Nan. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known how to get through the difficulties." Her words were filled with mockery and boast.

Xia Yingluo straightened her back and stared hard into Gu Jinxiu's eyes. Even if she lost in love, she didn't want to lose to this woman in terms of grandeur. She was still the young lady of the Li Family and still had her own pride. "My family once taught me a phrase called: small men get intoxicated by success. I didn't know what it meant until I saw you, Ms. Gu. I finally understood what it meant." Xia Yingluo was not polite to Gu Jinxiu. "Get lost, don't block my way."

This was a Japanese style hot spring resort area. The distance between the hot spring pool and the pool was very narrow and only one person could pass. Gu Jinxiu was standing on the cobbled path and Xia Yingluo didn't have a path to walk.

Gu Jinxiu refused to give away, and looked at her with a sneer. "It should be you giving way to me." In this love war, Gu Jinxiu claimed to be the winner. Since she was the winner, how could she give way to the loser? Of course, she had to show off her strength. What was more, she didn't like Xia Yingluo much.

Xia Yingluo's temper was also ignited. Although she had broken up with Wei Lingnan, she had no inferiority complex in front of Gu Jinxiu. At this time, her gaze was colder, and she repeated, "Give way."

Gu Jinxiu's face was full of contempt. "Who are you to tell me to make way?"

From the moment she appeared, Xia Yingluo's mood became very bad. At this time, Xia Yingluo finally couldn't suppress her agitation anymore and pushed Gu Jinxiu. "Go!"

Yes, she was a noble lady, but she was also the daughter of a gangster of the underworld. Although her self-defense was not amazing, it was still far better than most ladies. The angle of this push was very tricky, so how could Gu Jinxiu possibly avoid it? Immediately, she was unstable and fell into the hot spring pool water with a splash. The crystal water splashed all around, making her look extremely frail.

"Xia Yingluo! You! Cough… Cough…" Gu Jinxiu took a few sips of water, almost out of breath, while glaring at Xia Yingluo and coughing violently.

This time Xia Yingluo looked at her sublimely, and said with a smile, "How dare you block my way, you should know your limits."

Her originally dark mood became better, and she turned around and walked briskly to leave the hot spring area. However, on the narrow path, she suddenly bumped into a hard chest.
