A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return
chapter-1323

She resisted the intense pain, and everything before her coma came to her mind like slow motion.

Was Wei Lingnan holding her on the underground base? What did he want to do? Ominous premonitions loomed in Xia Yingluo's heart. She tried to open the shackles on her body, but she couldn't even move them a little bit. However, outside the huge glass viewing window, researchers had found that she was awake. They got together, looked at her data from a screen, and exchanged a few words with each other. One of the researchers in a white coat hurried away.

Soon, the laboratory door was opened.

A woman in a fine dress and exquisite makeup came in. It was Gu Jinxiu.

The door closed silently behind her.

Gu Jinxiu looked down at Xia Yingluo, who was curled up in pain, with a thoughtful smile in her voice. "You are awake."

Xia Yingluo bit her lip tightly, forcing herself not to reveal the slightest bit of pain. She stared coldly at the woman in front of her without speaking.

"It's uncomfortable, isn't it?" Gu Jinxiu smiled suddenly, with faint compassion. "It's pitiful, you're obviously a noble lady, but you're locked here like a beast. I told Nan that he could treat you better, but he was too worried about me and had to make sure you were locked up."

Sure enough, they were behind this.

Xia Yingluo's heart twitched. Gu Jinxiu's careless and proud voice made her want to cover her ears, but she was still reluctant to wince in front of her rival and stared coldly at Gu Jinxiu. "What on earth do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Gu Jinxiu smiled in amazement. "You should ask Nan what he wants to do. Why, as smart as you are, can't you guess?"

Gu Jinxiu's cat-and-mouse-like smile made Xia Yingluo want to vomit, and the pain of lava boiling in her blood became more and more intense. She became cold and hot for a while, and her face became paler. "Let me… out." She trembled, and said to Gu Jinxiu in difficulty, "I'm not interested in… you two…"

"Let you out?" Gu Jinxiu seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. "Xia Yingluo, how are you so naive to this day? Since you have the courage to fight with me over my man, you must have this realization—death, yes, that's your only ending."

Death?!

Xia Yingluo's heart jumped, and the pain in her body struck again. She couldn't help but gasp.

She originally thought that Wei Lingnan had been inspired by Gu Jinxiu and caught her here to humiliate and vent her anger, but now it didn't seem so simple at all. Gu Jinxiu's killing intent wasn't fake, she really wanted to kill her! The alarm bell in Xia Yingluo's heart was so loud and an unprecedented sense of crisis rose in her. What should she do? This was the Wei Family Biopharmaceutical Base. She was hundreds or thousands of meters underground and was without any outside contact. If they really wanted to do something to her, she wouldn't be able to call for rescue!

"Why?" She racked her brains and thought instinctively about her escape strategy. She tried to delay time with Gu Jinxiu. "I broke up with him long ago, and I can't get in the way of you. Why would you want to kill me?" There was another sudden pain, and she couldn't help gasping, and said when the pain passed, "My family will never let you go."

Gu Jinxiu looked down at her. The girl on the cold ground in the laboratory was only wearing thin pajamas. The thin white silk satin lightly outlined her perfect figure. Her hair was disheveled and her delicate little face had an expression of extreme pain and endurance, and one couldn't help but have the urge to give all his care.

Wei Lingnan was just confused by her appearance, right?

Gu Jinxiu thought fiercely, As long as Xia Yingluo is alive, I'll have trouble sleeping and eating. Although Wei Lingnan was with her now, it was only because she was Ah Luo in her previous life. He loved the alien queen deeply instead of "Gu Jinxiu". She always understood that. Gu Jinxiu was confused and perplexed inside. She didn't know how long this love could last. Would it be shaken by Xia Yingluo? A woman's instincts had always been very accurate, especially when it came to love—Wei Lingnan's stare at Xia Yingluo wasn't simple, Gu Jinxiu dared to swear.

She couldn't let things go like this.

She smiled again, and her expression became vicious. "Don't struggle on your deathbed, Xia Yingluo. So what if your family doesn't let me go? Some time ago they wanted to destroy the Gu family, but what happened? As long as there is Nan, they can't move my finger at all. Hehe, you can die with peace of mind."

Xia Yingluo's face was pale, and she didn't know if it was pain or anger. She shook her head weakly. "Why… what the hell… what reason did you persuade Wei Lingnan to arrest and kill me?"

"You want to know?" Gu Jinxiu smiled brightly and didn't mind telling her. "In the hot spring, you pushed me a bit and my heart started having problems. I have to change my heart to survive. Who told you to carry genes that are homologous to me. Of course, Nan has to dig out your heart and help me. How about it, are you still satisfied with this answer? Hahaha."

Xia Yingluo didn't expect this to happen, and her heart became cold for a while.

"You lied…" She looked at Gu Jinxiu unwillingly. "I don't believe the push had such serious consequences."

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not," Gu Jinxiu said profoundly. "As long as Nan believes it, isn't it?"

It turned out… to be so!

Suddenly, Xia Yingluo's heart was clear. She didn't really have any heart problems, and she didn't need a new heart! Everything was directed and performed by Gu Jinxiu, in order to let Wei Lingnan kill her! And Wei Lingnan… Wei Lingnan really listened to Gu Jinxiu's words?

Xia Yingluo only felt that an invisible giant hand grabbed her heart, and it hurt as if it was about to burst.

It turned out that man was willing to do anything for Gu Jinxiu. The man took her life as something that could be sacrificed at any time without any proof…

She closed her eyes desolately.

Gu Jinxiu wanted to appreciate her pain for a while, but no matter how she stimulated her, Xia Yingluo said nothing. After standing for a while, Gu Jinxiu grew bored. She snorted coldly and turned away from the laboratory. At the entrance of the laboratory, the researchers bowed respectfully to her. It had spread all over the base that she was the official girlfriend of President Wei, so who dared to provoke her?

Gu Jinxiu returned to his residence in the base in the living room and saw Wei Lingnan.

The man was wearing a clean white shirt and was standing quietly. The artificial light shone on him and he looked a little lonely.
