A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

That was a rotting face.

Her flesh was rolled up and pus was flowing from her cheeks, revealing her bones.

Originally, Nangong Qingya was very beautiful, with a pair of gorgeous eyes. Now, with a half-rotten face, she looked terrifying. After the shawl was taken off, the stench was stronger, and the two security officers had already covered their noses.

Wei Shaoyin jumped and screamed again. “That psycho Wei Lingnan! He’s crazy! Insane! He really spread the viruses developed in the lab!”

“Those that can turn people into zombies?” Xia Ling was brave at the start, but after seeing Nangong Qingya’s rotten face, she lost all of her confidence. At this time, she cowered behind Wei Shaoyin and asked weakly.

“I want to turn him into a zombie!” Wei Shaoyin stamped his foot and cursed his uncle. He also did not forget to instruct the security officers. “Quickly chase that rotten woman away!”

The disfigured woman, Nangong Qingya, fearfully covered her face at the start to avoid the strange looks from people. Later, after hearing that that her disease may have some connection to Wei Shaoyin, she rushed over and begged him. “Save me… I beg you to save me…”

Wei Shaoyin quickly ran away to hide from her.

Xia Ling also followed him.

Nangong Qingya refused to give up and continued to follow the two of them around. The yellow and green pus flowed down her face as she ran, leaving a trail on the smooth marble floor.

Xia Ling was so disgusted that she almost vomited. She scolded Wei Shaoyin. “It’s all your fault! Why did you have to take her veil off?! Why is everyone from the Wei family so crazy?!”

Wei Shaoyin was also enraged. “Who was the one who took off the veil? Aren’t you very brave? Stop hiding behind my back!” He appeared tough but was weak inside, and his voice uncontrollably shook. God have mercy on him. He was unafraid of everything except the insane viruses that his family created. “If I find out who gave her the virus, I will smash that person into pieces!”

Xia Ling silently prayed for Li Lei in her heart.

“Quickly think of something!” She said in annoyance. “She’s getting closer!”

What could Wei Shaoyin do? He yelled at the security officers. “Quickly pull that rotten woman away!”

All of the security officers were hesitant.

“Save me…” Nangong Qingya smirked like a madman. “You’re not going to save me? Then let’s die together!” She frantically charged at Xia Ling. If this virus were highly contagious, she definitely had to spread it to Xia Ling!

“Ah!” Xia Ling screamed. She agilely crouched behind Wei Shaoyin and used him as a human shield. Nangong Qingya slammed into Wei Shaoyin, causing him to yelp and kick her away.

Nangong Qingya rolled on the ground a few times before ending up at the corner of a table and struggled to stand up.

“Why haven’t you thrown her out?!” Wei Shaoyin jumped and scolded the security officers. “I will fire all of you!”

The security officers felt very wronged. They were actually very professional and would not retreat even if they saw a terrorist. However, this rotten woman was scarier than a terrorist. More specifically, she was too ugly…

As Wei Shaoyin scolded them, they resisted the urge to vomit and had a hard time kicking Nangong Qingya out.

The world was peaceful again.

Only then did Xia Ling sigh in relief. Thinking about what happened, she still felt scared, and her hand trembled as she held on to Wei Shaoyin’s sleeve. However, Wei Shaoyin pushed her hand away rudely. “Tell me! What’s going on?! Why is a rotten woman who used my family’s substance looking for you?!”

Xia Ling looked at him innocently.

“There’s no use acting innocent!” Wei Shaoyin looked very stern.

Xia Ling pondered for a moment. If he found out that this situation was related to her, he might slice and dice her, so she blamed Li Lei very firmly. “It was Li Lei! He was the one who did it to Nangong Qingya. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know!”

Wei Shaoyin looked at her doubtfully.

The situation was already so bad that making it worse made no real difference, so she looked at him courageously.

Wei Shaoyin did not put in much effort to the discern the truth and lies from what she said. He glanced at the pus on the floor and was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit. He bolted out of the door and drove home to take a shower.

Thank goodness Wei Shaoyin was a clean freak.

She managed to avoid a scolding.

Looking at the pus on the floor, Xia Ling also wanted to quickly leave and return home to take a bath. After her bath, she finally had the time to call Li Lei. “What exactly did you give Nangong Qingya? Why is her face like that?!”

“Is the drug working?” Li Lei was very excited. “Did you take a photo? Quickly send it over to let me see. I heard that this is the Wei family’s latest drug, and it has the best disfigurement effect.”

Unknowingly, Nangong Qingya’s rotting face appeared in Xia Ling’s mind again. She was furious. “Shouldn’t you at least warn me in advance? I stupidly removed her veil and was scared to death!”

“I was planning to surprise you.” Li Lei felt wronged.

“Surprise?” Xia Ling gritted her teeth. “Come over here and I’ll also give you a surprise. I guarantee that I won’t kill you.”

Li Lei laughed. “Ok, don’t be bad. Besides, we’ve already achieved our goal. Did Nangong Qingya look for you today to give you money?”

“Well, five billion.” Xia Ling said disinterestedly. “After you cure her face, she’ll give me 75 billion more.” She did not really care since she extorted another 20 billion from her.

“Are you a pig?” Unexpectedly, Li Lei asked.

“What? Are you scolding me?” Xia Ling was triggered.

“It’s only 5 billion. She already gave you her bank card, real estate certificate, and jewelry. With one look, you can tell that she took a long time to gather them.” Li Lei analyzed lazily. “Do you think she can still give you another 75 billion? She’s so poor.”

Xia Ling never considered the problem before and was startled.

“Little Pig.” Li Lei concluded.

She felt that her 75 billion was about to fly out of her hands and was not in the mood to rebuke Li Lei. Troubled, she asked, “What should I do then… How is she this poor? She even lied to make me cure her face when she can’t even afford to pay me the money.”

Li Lei said, “Open the door.”

“What?” Xia Ling didn’t hear him clearly.

“I told you to open the door.”

She reacted and rushed to look down from the floor-to-ceiling window. In the garden filled with ivy, a man was standing behind the wooden fence with a phone in his hand. He looked up at the window and smiled at her.

She snorted with some arrogance. “I’m not opening the door.”

Li Lei laughed lowly over the phone. “Don’t you want the 75 billion?”

“My brother said that if you can’t get the money for me, you aren’t allowed to enter the Xia family.” Her lips curved into a smile. It did feel good to have her family’s support.
