A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 1266 The Embarrassing Gu Jinxiu

As he spoke, he turned slightly to look at Xia Ling and nodded in a very gentlemanly manner, "Mrs. Li, long time no see. You are still as beautiful as you were many years ago. You are worthy of being a phoenix favored by God."

Xia Ling looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Wei Lingnan didn't mind the cold reception. He raised the small package in his hand and handed it forward: "I brought you a gift, Mrs. Li. Thank you for your kindness in raising Yingluo over the years."

At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wei Lingnan is here for Xia Yingluo and his family.

As for Gu Jinxiu? This man didn't have her in his eyes from beginning to end.

Gu Jinxiu's face turned pale, and she obviously felt it. In fact, as long as Wei Lingnan was not ruthless and gave her a little face, he would not show favor to other women in front of her, his fiancée! She was flustered, angry and embarrassed, but she didn't dare to get angry at Wei Lingnan, otherwise who knew what that man would do to cause her more pain with his temper?

"Lingnan..." she called weakly.

Wei Lingnan, on the other hand, handed the gift to Xia Ling.

Xia Ling looked at him coldly and did not reach out to pick it up.

Wei Lingnan's hand stopped half a foot away from her and did not move.

The two faced each other silently.

It was Xia Yingluo on the side who broke the silence first: "Wei Lingnan, take your things away, my mother doesn't want them."

Wei Lingnan looked at her sideways slightly, and that look made Xia Yingluo inexplicably panic and fearful.

Wei Lingnan smiled and asked her softly: "Yingluo, do you hate me so much?"

Xia Yingluo didn't know how to answer.

Hate? No, it should be hate. This man had done so many excessive things to her, and every time she thought about it, she wanted to cut him into pieces. But besides hatred, there seemed to be something else... She didn't understand. She only knew that whenever he appeared, she would be upset.

A hand reached out and took away the gift from Wei Lingnan's hand.

It was Li Lei, looking at Wei Lingnan with a smile on his face: "Your fiancée is still over there, and our Li family cannot afford your gift. Even if you want to give it, you should give it to Miss Gu Jinxiu, Miss Gu is The one who will gladly accept it.”

With that said, he handed the gift to Gu Jinxiu.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense and you could hear a pin drop.

Du Jingjing and Jin Ying no longer dared to speak. They wished they could shrink themselves smaller and smaller, trying their best to avoid being burned.

Gu Jinxiu, on the other hand, was at a loss when looking at the gift that was suddenly handed to her. She instinctively looked up at her fiancé. However, Wei Lingnan didn't care at all about what happened to the gift. He only stared at Xia Yingluo intently, as if he didn't notice everything happening around him.

Nameless anger rose from Gu Jinxiu's heart.

She was wronged and suffering, and her heart felt like it was being rolled in a pan of oil. Taking a deep breath calmly and finally controlling her emotions, Gu Jinxiu reached out her hand and received the gift from Li Lei. She turned her head and glanced at Wei Lingnan.

How she wished Wei Lingnan could look at her, even if it meant blaming her for accepting the gift.

But Wei Lingnan still turned a blind eye to her, with only Xia Yingluo in his eyes.

She was so disappointed that she wanted to throw all the heavy gifts in her hand at Xia Yingluo's face.

Perhaps sensing her anger, Xia Yingluo turned to look at her, her clear eyes reflecting the sun, her emotions indistinguishable.

Gu Jinxiu looked back coldly and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Why, you gave me a gift, does Miss Xia feel bad?" Since Li Lei had promised not to repair the relationship with the Gu family, then Gu Jinxiu didn't have to flatter Xia Yingluo. What's more, there is Wei Lingnan standing between them, and they have old and new hatreds, and they must fight to the death.

But Xia Yingluo had no interest in fighting.

She glanced at Gu Jinxiu indifferently and said softly to Xia Ling, "Mom, I'm tired, let's go in."

She felt that she was so stupid that she would let someone like Wei Lingnan affect her mood. She already felt uncomfortable as soon as Gu Jinxiu said "fiancé", but Wei Lingnan didn't explain a word, which made her more and more uncomfortable. uncomfortable. This displeasure reached its peak when Li Lei intercepted the gift that was supposed to be given to Xia Ling and gave it to Gu Jinxiu, but Wei Lingnan remained indifferent. What was the gift specially given to her mother? What do you say you miss her? It's all fake. In fact, he doesn't care at all, right?

At this thought, Xia Yingluo's spirits waned and she never wanted to look at him again.

She had no interest in getting involved in the matter between this man named Wei and his fiancée.

Xia Ling looked at her daughter distressedly and took her hand: "Let's go in with mom to have tea. Master Yamaguchi, Ling'er, you guys should come in too. You must be tired after standing outside for so long."

Master Yamaguchi in Gebu clothes smiled slightly, and together with Jin Ling'er, followed them into the quiet hall.

Li Lei gave Wei Lingnan a warning look and followed his wife and daughter in. The door was closed tightly.

Wei Lingnan was left standing on the path covered by vegetation, with an unpredictable expression.

Gu Jinxiu looked at him carefully: "Lingnan..."

It was only this time that he seemed to hear her call. He lowered his head and glanced at the gift in her hand: "Since you accepted it, let's use it." He didn't say a word more, just like when he came, It soon disappeared at the end of the trail.

Gu Jinxiu looked at his back reluctantly, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Du Jingjing and Jin Ying looked at each other, both feeling that the incident just now was extremely embarrassing - Gu Jinxiu's fiancé used gifts in front of her to please another woman, but they refused to accept them and threw them to her like garbage, but she regarded them as treasures .

Du Jingjing and Jin Ying both felt that if this kind of thing happened to them, how could they endure it?

I really don’t know what Gu Jinxiu’s vision is. She falls in love with such a ruthless man and is still happy with her?

Faintly, they looked down on Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu was thoughtful and knew what they were thinking just by looking at their faces. She forced a smile and explained, "Lingnan has business dealings with the Li family. Knowing that the Li family has returned to China, it is normal to bring some gifts to exchange greetings. "This explanation was so pale that even she couldn't bear to listen to it. However, a wealthy family wants to save face, so even if it's just a gloss, it must be smoothed over.

Of course Du Jingjing and Jin Ying didn't believe it. If it was really a normal way to pay homage, why wouldn't the Li family accept it? So stiff?

However, on the surface, of course they will not expose Gu Jinxiu. There are too many secrets in wealthy families that are not open to outsiders. As long as everyone can keep their face, no one will delve into it. "I didn't expect your fiancé to have business dealings with the Li family. That's awesome." Du Jingjing laughed.

Jin Ying also gave a perfunctory "Awesome".

Neither of them asked what kind of business it was, but instead tacitly opened up the topic.
