A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 718 Kill for Life

Gu Lin was struck by lightning and stood frozen on the spot.

It turned out that the girl he liked from beginning to end was not Su Tang at all, let alone Gu Lin. Only the petite and inconspicuous Ye Xingling in front of him was the love of his life.

How could such a stupid and unattractive bitch capture Brother Lei's heart? !

Gu Lin's voice trembled: "Brother Lei, she is not worthy of you!"

Li Lei said calmly: "Whether you are worthy or not is not decided by outsiders. Linlin, if it really comes down to it, I am not worthy of Xiao Ling." He lowered his head and looked at Xia Ling tenderly, his eyes deep.

Xia Ling smiled and was noncommittal.

She did not think that he was not worthy of her. People like him were unique in the world, so dazzling that she fell in love with him. However, she did not intend to tell him these thoughts. She was afraid that he would not cherish things that were obtained too easily. Her brother said that only when a man has withstood the test can he be qualified to embrace a beautiful woman.

She cared so much about him that she was overwhelmed and could only follow her brother's guidance.

Gu Lin saw the calm look on her face, and the unknown anger in her heart became even more intense - this bitch! If she could be forgiven for losing to Su Tang, after all, she was the mother of brother Lei's child, but what did losing to Xia Ling mean?

This woman is nothing!

Gu Lin took two steps forward, raised her hand high, and slapped Xia Ling.

Xia Ling instinctively turned sideways to avoid it, and the slap flew into the air and was caught by Li Lei.

"Brother Lei, you!" Gu Lin glared at Li Lei angrily. She couldn't believe that Brother Lei, who had loved her so much since she was a child, would stop her. Just then she was about to say something angrily. Suddenly, she heard a crisp "pop" sound. ring.

She covered her face, and it took her a few seconds to realize that it was brother Lei who had hit her.

It happened so suddenly that Gu Lin's mind went blank. She stared at Li Lei with wide eyes, her chest heaving, angry and aggrieved. Brother Lei beat her... Brother Lei actually beat her! She had been pampered and pampered by the Gu family since she was a child. How had she ever been treated like this? !

She shook her head and staggered back two steps, teetering.

"This slap is given to you for Xiao Ling," Li Lei looked at Gu Lin and said in a cold voice, "Gu Lin, you know best what you did to Xiao Ling four years ago. I did it for Grandpa Gu's sake back then. I haven't been cruel to you before, but now you're doing it worse? If you continue to have trouble with Xiao Ling, don't blame me for settling old and new accounts together!"

"What did I do four years ago?!" Gu Lin was so angry that she burst into tears. In her impression, the only time she felt sorry for Xia Ling was when she felt sorry for Xia Ling. How could there be a time when Xia Ling felt sorry for herself? "Li Lei, please tell me clearly! Why do you protect her and spit on others just to please her?! Wuwuwu..."

Her voice was loud, attracting some people nearby to look over.

Li Lei looked cold and said only four words: "Nangong Qingya."

Gu Lin suddenly remembered something and her body shook violently, as if struck by lightning.

Nangong Qingya...Nangong Qingya!

Four years ago, it was all because of that bitch Nangong Qingya who gave her the idea to cause an anthelmintic incident and framed the lives of two orphans on Xia Ling. Later, the matter was revealed, and the Nangong family was wiped out by the furious Li Lei clan, but she, Gu Lin, escaped... She was still lucky. Maybe Brother Lei didn't know about it, but she didn't expect that he would have already I know it, but I still remember it in my heart, and I still feel sorry for her!

Gu Lin was trembling with fear. It was a serious crime of murder. If it was exposed, more than just a slap would be enough to solve the problem. !

"No... I didn't do it..." Her teeth chattered, and she didn't care about causing trouble for Xia Ling. She hurriedly said to Li Lei, "Brother Lei, believe me! The death of the children in the orphanage is none of my business! "

Li Lei: "Shut up!"

However, it was too late to stop drinking.

Xia Ling had a very good ear and asked: "What about the death of a child in an orphanage? What happened four years ago?"

Li Lei secretly cursed himself as a pig, why did he underestimate Miss Gu's IQ? He originally just wanted to scare her so that she would not cause trouble to Xiao Ling in the future, but who knew that she couldn't bear the scare, so she suddenly leaked what happened back then.

Xiao Ling didn't know about that matter.

He never wanted her to know that it was because Gu Lin was jealous of her that she sent inferior anthelmintics to the orphanage at the instigation of Nangong Qingya, resulting in the death of two innocent children.

He was afraid that Xiao Ling would blame herself.

But now, I can't hide it anymore.

He turned to look at Xia Ling and told her about the past.

Xia Ling didn't expect to hear such a shocking truth, and it took her a while to come back to her senses: "So, Li Lei, you have been hiding it from me for so many years?" She had mixed feelings in her heart. In order not to make him sad, she hid it She had received the news about her biological son; and in order not to make her sad, why didn't he hide it?

Li Lei looked at her carefully: "Xiao Ling, you all blame me."

He was afraid that Xia Ling would be angry. However, now that she has a biological son, she is no longer the fragile and self-doubting girl. She still blames herself for the death of the two children, but she will not be depressed because of it.

She looked at Li Lei with a pair of clear eyes: "You should have told me earlier."

Under his puzzled gaze, he stepped forward and slapped Gu Lin hard on the left and right sides. Gu Lin didn't expect that even she would dare to attack her. She was beaten to the ground, covered in dirt, and her forehead hit the tree trunk and broke the skin.

Gu Lin cried even harder: "Ye Xingling! I really didn't do it, why did you hit me?!"

There was rare cruelty in Xia Ling's eyes, and she looked at Gu Lin coldly: "I want to call the police."

Saying that, he took out his mobile phone.

The most unseen thing in her life was for rich and powerful people to bully helpless orphans, not to mention that the two orphans died because of her. She originally thought that the matter had been settled long ago, but she did not expect that the real culprit who caused the death of the two children was still at large!

She stretched out her hand to dial, but another hand reached out from behind and pressed hers.

It's Li Lei.

"Xiao Ling, calm down." He said.

Xia Ling turned to look at him: "Li Lei, I can understand you not letting me know the truth. But why don't you bring her to justice? Her friendship with you is more important than human life?"

There was a hint of anger in her voice.

Li Lei knew that she was really angry and said calmly: "It's not her friendship with me, it's the friendship between her Gu family and my Li family. Xiao Ling, nothing can happen to her, otherwise, neither my grandfather nor Grandpa Gu will Let you go."

He knew that Xiao Ling was the phoenix of the Xia family, but now that she could not return to the family, the Xia family's power was limited even if it protected her. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to withstand the anger of the two bosses. Even if he shielded her from wind and rain, he was still afraid that a hundred thousand things would affect her safety, and he couldn't afford to take even one ten thousandth of a risk.

Xia Ling said: "Kill a person to pay for his life."
