Chapter 557: You Are Always Welcomed Here

Startled, she asked, “Isn’t this the charity banquet?”

The uniformed guard patiently explained to her, “This is a charity banquet, but the guests invited are either famous or from eminent families. Miss Ye, if I speak honestly, although you are called a ‘Little Diva,’ you are still not famous enough.”

Xia Ling felt that something was not right. “What about this invitation…”

The guard carefully looked at her invitation. “The watermark on this card is fake. Please go back.” Nearby, the guests behind her started whispering and looking at her.

Before Xia Ling could react to what was going on, suddenly, she felt a light flash in front of her. She turned around in alarm. Not far away in the crowd, a reporter took a picture of her and did not leave despite seeing her look at her. He flashed her a grin before leaving.

Xia Ling could already foresee that if the situation continued, the next day, the news would spread that she was driven out of the banquet. She was wearing a champagne-colored silk fishtail gown and could not settle her dispute with the reporter personally. There was also no manager beside her, and it was difficult for her to decide her next move.

She did not know whose sick joke this was. How could the person send a fake invitation to her mailbox?

However, before she could think about it, the guard already urged her again. “Miss Ye, please leave. Don’t make things difficult for us.” Behind her, many guests from distinguished families were waiting to sign their names, and many people looked very impatient.

The situation was pressing.

If she really left like that, she would be extremely humiliated.

She softly said, “Who is the organizer of this charity banquet? Is it possible that there’s a misunderstanding?”

“Organizer?” Behind her, a girl from an eminent family said impatiently. “You don’t even know who the organizer is but you still dare to come here? Don’t you know that it’s Old Master Li from Skyart Entertainment?”

Old Master Li?

Xia Ling was alarmed. Could it be that Old Master Li deliberately invited her to embarrass her?

If that was true, this situation could not be resolved anymore because it was definitely not a misunderstanding. The simple act of chasing her out would destroy her reputation and make her less worthy of Li Lei.

Alarm bells rang in Xia Ling’s heart. She knew that there was no way she could avoid this situation.

She lifted her head and looked at the guard. “The Li Family organized this banquet? Is Li Lei here?”

Before the guard could answer, a girl with gorgeous long curly hair dressed in a glamorous red gown walked out from the banquet and looked arrogantly at Xia Ling. “Of course, Brother Lei is here, don’t you know that? This banquet was organized for him. However, Ye Xingling, this is not a place for a lowly person like you. I advise you to quickly get lost before you embarrass yourself!”

Xia Ling turned around and saw that the hateful girl was Gu Lin.

Enemies were indeed bound to meet on a narrow road.

She said that this banquet was held for Li Lei. What did she mean?

Wasn’t this a charity banquet?

Xia Ling was too busy to think about it as her more urgent task was to prevent herself from being driven out by the guard. She took out her phone from her exquisite handbag and called Li Lei. “I’m at the doorway of the banquet and I ran into some trouble. Can you pick me up?”

Li Lei wore a light-colored suit and was talking to his good friend Du Yunfeng. When he received her call, his face well. What happened? Why was Xiao Ling here?

Du Yunfeng looked at him strangely. “What’s wrong?”

Li Lei said, “Xiao Ling is here.”

“Ye Xingling?” Du Yunfeng disdainfully snorted. “I told you before that that woman is not worthy of you. Do you think she’s so innocent and kind? That’s just an act. In front of you, she pretends to be pitiful. See, she could not wait to come once you organized a banquet today.”

“I don’t like the way you talk about Xiao Ling.” Li Lei said coldly.

Du Yunfeng shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. His friend was good at everything, but no man was wise at all times. Right now, he was obsessed with an unruly woman. Every time they talked about this woman, they would be at odds.

Li Lei placed his cocktail back on the waiter’s tray. “I’m going to the doorway to take a look.”

Du Yunfeng wanted to accompany him to be a bystander. “I’ll go with you.”

The two of them quickly arrived at the doorway. On the marble-paved small square with a red carpet, many people gathered. Several guards were trying to deal with Xia Ling, and a group of glamorous guests was looking at the scene at the side.

In the crowd, Xiao Ling looked helpless.

Li Lei’s heart faintly hurt.

He quickly stepped forward. “Xiao Ling.”

“Brother Lei!” Before Xia Ling could respond, Gu Lin already walked towards him and intimately linked arms with him.

Li Lei quietly broke away from her and looked at Xia Ling. “Why are you here?”

Xia Ling took the invitation letter from the guard and handed it to Li Lei. “This invitation doesn’t count?” Her voice was beautiful and intoxicating.

Du Yunfeng also leaned over to take a look. “The watermark is fake.” The watermark on the invitation was an image of a bird while the real watermark was a rose that was about to bloom.

“Is the invitation really important?” At the start, Li Lei looked expressionlessly at the invitation, but then he threw it aside and smiled at Xia Ling. “I will always welcome you.” He spoke very gently, and his voice sounded more intoxicating than hers.

Xia Ling also smiled and knew that he would save her from the fire.

Li Lei reached out his hand in a gentlemanly manner. His light-colored suit fluttered in the summer night. She smiled and placed her white and soft hand elegantly in his palm.

Li Lei held her hand and walked beside her towards the banquet venue.

“Brother Lei!” Gu Lin was so mad that she stamped her foot. That irritating woman was not invited. How could she be allowed into the venue? The surrounding guests were also disappointed, especially the females who all refused to accept this result. They all came to this banquet because of Second Young Master Li who was noble, strong, and handsome. Now, his rumored lover was here, and she was of such a lowly status. How could they accept this?

However, Li Lei was oblivious to their angry glares. He held her hand very affectionately.

Several guards looked at one another in a distressed manner. One of them thickened his skin and walked forward. “Young Master, this is against the rules. Old Master already instructed that only eminent guests are allowed in this banquet. Please don’t make this difficult for us.” They were all Old Master’s subordinates and listened to Old Master’s orders. Even if young master appeared now, they still did not dare to let anyone off so easily.
