A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 1287: Chance Encounter at the Shopping Mall

Xia Yingluo didn’t have many feelings towards this kind of atmosphere. She had always loved to move and could never stand still. But she felt happy to stand next to Wei Lingnan. However, her eyes kept surveying her surroundings, and she suddenly saw a crystal shop nearby. She dragged Wei Lingnan’s hand and said, “Let’s go over there and see.”

Girls always liked things that sparkled and shone, so Wei Lingnan let her pull him there.

The shop was very big and had various crystal ornaments. They were in the shape of flowers, fishes and other abstract shapes that couldn’t be named. There were necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and brooches. The glittering jewels delighted the eyes with their dazzling splendor.

“Look at these, they are so beautiful,” Xia Yingluo said to Wei Lingnan. “That tree peony flower brooch is so beautiful. It’s my first time seeing such a beautiful brooch.”

Wei Lingnan lowered his head. “Do you like it? I can give it to you.”

Xia Yingluo shook her head and looked away longingly. “I have enough accessories already and my dormitory can’t keep more. Anyways, we’re here to listen to the concert today, it won’t be convenient to hold onto a brooch.” Although the brooch’s various colors looked pretty, it didn’t match with her evening gown today, so she couldn’t put it on directly. It would only be a burden in her hands.

After leaving the brooch display, she went to look elsewhere and gradually walked further and further. Wei Lingnan was originally accompanying her, but he walked away without her knowledge and took the brooch she liked from the display. He said to the salesperson, “Pack it up.”

Xia Yingluo didn’t realize what he was doing behind her.

The crystal handicraft dazzled her, and without warning, she bumped into someone.

She looked up and indeed, the road to enemies was narrow. It was Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu also didn’t expect her to come here. She was surprised upon seeing her. “Xia Yingluo, why are you here?”

“You can come, yet I can’t?” Xia Yingluo said impolitely. She didn’t like Gu Jinxiu and didn’t even bother feigning friendliness with her.

Gu Jinxiu frowned slightly. “Who did you come with?” She had an ominous premonition in her heart. Earlier, she had invited Wei Lingnan to come to this concert with her but had been rejected. But now that Xia Yingluo was here. Could it be a coincidence?

“Why do you care who I’m with? Make way, a good dog doesn’t block the way,” Xia Yingluo said.

Gu Jinxiu frowned. “Xia Yingluo, why are you so vulgar?” They were both honorable and prestigious ladies. She was so elegant and cultured, yet Xia Yingluo was like this. What qualifications did she have to be supported by such a good family? Gu Jinxiu felt ashamed for her.

The crystal shop was originally very peaceful, but after seeing their dispute, a crowd slowly gathered.

Both of them were extremely beautiful and it was a rare sight to see such delicate beauties arguing.

Some people were already whispering to each other, “I wonder what grudges these two little beauties have with each other? They’re arguing so intensely.”

They were certainly intense.

Xia Yingluo sneered at Gu Jinxiu. “Haven’t you learned your lesson back then during the banquet? You want to quarrel with me again?”

At the thought of the incident, Gu Jinxiu’s expression turned bad. That day, Wei Lingnan had gone there specially to visit Xia Yingluo’s parents and had even brought a gift. Where did that put her as his fiancee? With these thoughts, she said to Xia Yingluo, “I wasn’t accusing you of being vulgar and uncultivated, why are you seducing my fiancee for? I’m warning you, stay away from Wei Lingnan. Don’t think you can do anything you want just because your family is wealthy. Don’t be shameless.”

Xia Yingluo had yet to speak, but the expressions of the crowd suddenly revealed realization. It turned out this was the righteous wife fighting a mistress. It was really unexpected. This girl in front was so beautiful, but she was actually so fickle and seduced someone else’s fiancee instead. A book really couldn’t be judged by its cover.

“I already said beautiful women can’t be trusted. I was right.” Someone whispered.

Xia Yingluo heard it and felt aggrieved. What? Gu Jinxiu was clearly not Wei Lingnan’s fiancee, but she was so good at pretending. Wasn’t she just relying on Wei Lingnan having not exposed her? Seriously, Wei Lingnan, why was he being so indulgent towards Gu Jinxiu?

“The shameless one is you,” she said to Gu Jinxiu.

“You’re just a mistress, how could you be so arrogant?” The crowd couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Yes, yes!” Someone else agreed and said loudly, “It’s the lowliest to be a mistress, you bitch!”

Gu Jinxiu revealed a proud expression. Since Xia Yingluo had snatched her fiancee, she would ruin her reputation and see who would win over who. The future was long. She said to Xia Yingluo, “Did you hear? Everyone called you wicked.”

“Who dared to call my woman wicked?” Suddenly, a man’s voice was heard.

The crowd turned back and saw Wei Lingnan, wearing a suit and walking unhurriedly over. He was elegant and immaculately dressed, making many girls blush.

However, Gu Jinxiu’s face turned pale. Wei Lingnan, it was indeed him. He didn’t want to accompany her to the concert but was here now. Then, there was only one possibility. He had rejected her invitation to accompany Xia Yingluo here. Their importance in his heart was already obvious. She looked very wronged and called out, “Lingnan…”

Wei Lingnan walked over to them through the crowd. She didn’t even look at Gu Jinxiu and lowered his head to look at Xia Yingluo. “Are you okay?”

Xia Yingluo shook her head.

Gu Jinxiu’s expression was even more wronged and her eyes turned red.

Someone from the crowd couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “You’re the lady’s fiancee, right? Why are you siding with your mistress, it’s too much! Can’t you treat your fiancee well and dump your mistress?”

“Yingluo isn’t a mistress.” Wei Lingnan’s voice was faint but crisp in the ears of the crowd. “She is my girlfriend. As for that lady over there…” He glanced at Gu Jinxiu, his eyes cold. “Fiancee? I have never had a fiancee before, she self-proclaimed it. Gu Jinxiu, don’t climb all over my face just because I gave you face.”

Xia Yingluo was stunned. She didn’t expect him to expose her after accepting Gu Jinxiu so tacitly for so long.

However, she was so happy! Gu Jinxiu had finally gotten her punishment.

Gu Jinxiu stared in disbelief at Wei Lingnan. “Lingnan, what are you saying?”

Wei Lingnan’s voice was light. “Was I not clear enough? I didn’t have a girlfriend before and didn’t want to fuss over it with you, but now that I have Yingluo, please don’t act ostentatiously and swindle people while calling yourself my fiancee, Ms. Gu.”

His words were like a crisp slap to her face, and the crowd felt ashamed for Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu shook her head. “That’s not real… Lingnan, I’ve always been your fiancee! What spell has this girl put you under? To make you side with her?”
