Chapter 1360 - Cherry Blossoms
Chapter 1360: Cherry Blossoms
Xia Yingluo smiled sweetly and followed him downstairs. They took a stroll in the quiet cherry blossom forest.
The pale pink cherry blossoms fluttered and the wind blew like a gorgeous and huge rain. She glanced up and looked at the beautiful elves flying in the air, then he reached out her hand and touched the light and soft petals.
Another gust of wind blew.
The scarf around her neck slipped and drifted away.
She exclaimed in a soft voice. “Oh! How will I go out later…” The little scarf wasn’t only for decoration but was also for disguise. Although she had already worn sunglasses, she was still very charming in appearance. And standing together with Jiang Yu, who was also outstanding and eye-catching, she was worried that she would be recognized. It was better to have a scarf for more disguise.
Jiang Yu also understood her concerns. Seeing that the silk scarf floated farther and farther away and disappeared in the blue sky, he said, “It’s all right, I’ll buy you another one.” Next to the cherry blossom forest was a large commercial area with high-end clothing. There were many shops and it wouldn’t be long.
Xia Yingluo wanted to tell him not to bother, but she thought that the risk of exposition was too great. Thus, she said, “Okay.”
Jiang Yu turned around.
Xia Yingluo stayed alone in the cherry blossom forest, and the falling cherry blossoms rained on her soft hair and rounded shoulders. These days, she always tired easily. When she saw a chair for pedestrians to rest under a tree, she walked over and sat down. The chair was a rattan chair and was very comfortable to sit on. She closed her eyes slightly and gradually got tired in the fragrance of the flowers and wind.
She had a dream.
She dreamt of the dark purple mysterious Skatana Planet. She was still an ignorant little princess, and her guardian, the man named Nan, was half-knelt down and holding her hand. He was dealing with the wounds made by the Zerg on her.
At that time, the sky was full of stars, and there were fireflies everywhere.
The fireflies on the Skatana Planet were different from that on Earth, but they both held beautiful legends. Legend had it that they were all transformed from the soul of a soldier after death… She wondered, after the big explosion that destroyed the entire tribe, did those who died all become fireflies?
Sakura petals fell on her delicate white cheeks.
Faintly, there was a noise. “Get up! Who are you? How dare you sit in Ms. Pei’s seat!”
Someone dragged her arm and it hurt. She was pulled from the chair with a strong force. The fighting habit developed in her previous life made her instinctively want to react, but now her body was too weak to complete any action at all. She fell hard and bit her lips, causing a trace of blood to leak out. Xia Yingluo became sober. She raised her head and saw a few people surrounding her in the dim light behind her sunglasses, casting scornful looks at her. The person at the front was Pei Yan.
Why was she here?
New hatred rushed into her heart, and Xia Yingluo got up from the ground and said with her voice cold, “Who touched me?”
“Me, why?” A young man in a t-shirt told her proudly. “Not happy? You can’t even see how lowly you are, you even dare to sit in the chair prepared for Ms. Pei. Ms. Pei was kind and doesn’t want to fuss over it with you, so you can get lost!”
Xia Yingluo found out that this group of people also brought a small tea table of the same style as that rattan chair and had tea in their hands. Did they prepare all these for Pei Yan? Was Pei Yan going to drink tea here and admire the flowers?
She was right. Pei Yan sneered dismissively. “If you don’t have money, don’t copy others and admire the flowers here.”
This was one of the most prosperous business districts in the city. However, the beautiful cherry blossom forest was empty, which didn’t make sense, so wasn’t it obvious that it had been reserved? Didn’t this reckless woman know how to use her brain?
A sense of intelligence and superiority rose in Pei Yan, and she was even more scornful to Xia Yingluo.
But Xia Yingluo wasn’t afraid of her. “It’s not certain who has to get lost.” Today, if it had been someone else, she might have given up, but how could she give way to Pei Yan? Furthermore, this Pei Yan had come forward to make her fall!
She was wearing sunglasses, so Pei Yan didn’t recognize her for a moment. She only felt that this aggressive girl was strangely familiar, and it was a kind of nasty familiarity. Pei Yan didn’t think much and said to some of her followers, “Kick her out.”
“Who dares to touch me?” Xia Yingluo became angry and said coldly to the followers, “Try it if you want to die!”
Although she was slender, she was so murderous when she spoke that they were shocked and stopped instinctively.
Pei Yan was furious and scolded them. “Kick her out! Are you all stupid?!”
She looked at Xia Yingluo angrily again. “Do you know who I am? Haven’t you heard of the Imperial Entertainment’s Pei family? Get lost as soon as possible, or you won’t have a place to cry later!”
Her followers all reacted and yelled, “Did you hear that? This is the young lady of the Imperial Entertainment’s Pei family. Why, are you scared? You’re not even fit to carry Ms. Pei’s shoes!” Although they said this, they were still frightened by Xia Yingluo’s arrogant momentum just now and didn’t dare to really catch her.
“The Pei family’s face will be thrown by you.” Xia Yingluo laughed. “If Uncle Pei knew how arrogant you are in front of me, can you guess, will he remove your brother from the heirs’ list because he thinks you’re too shameful?”
Pei Yan’s heart had an ominous premonition, and the nasty familiarity deepened again. She looked at Xia Yingluo and asked, “Who are you?”
Xia Yingluo slowly took off her sunglasses.
In the eyes of everyone, it was an exquisite and delicate face. It was a little pale and her face was thinly applied with pink powder.
The few people around Pei Yan sucked in their breaths unknowingly. This girl… was so beautiful! Under the cherry blossom rain, she was like a fairy. Her bright and stunning eyes were instantly distinguished from Pei Yan’s, and under her ethereal beauty, Pei Yan instantly looked plain and normal!
Pei Yan looked like she just saw a ghost. “Xia… Xia Yingluo!”
Xia Yingluo smiled lightly. “Pei Yan, don’t you know that you’ll die faster if you’re so stupid? How exactly do stupid minds like you live to this day? Are you still planning to use the Pei family to suppress me?”
Pei Yan choked at her words.
In this city, even in many parts of the world, the Pei family could trample on anyone. But only in front of the Li family they couldn’t! Even three-year-olds knew that the Pei and Li families were at loggerheads. Imperial Entertainment’s Chairman Pei Ziheng lost to Big Boss Li in terms of love twenty years ago, so how could the Li family possibly give face to the Pei family?
And, what was worse, as Xia Yingluo said—
If Pei Ziheng found that the younger generation threw their face in front of the Li family, she was afraid he would directly peel her skin!
