A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

When Xia Ling heard that the people had left, she collapsed and lay soft in Li Lei’s arms.

Li Lei hugged her and kissed her again before finally letting her go. He used his fingers to gently tidy up her messy long hair and clothes. Gently, he said, “Don’t be so afraid, they’re not here anymore.”

This sentence made her blood boil.

She did not know where she found the strength, but she gave him a tight slap.

There was a crisp sound.

Five clear fingers appeared on his cheek.

“Don’t let me see you again.” She warned and left without looking back.

She walked very fast and only felt that she was about to explode in anger. As she walked, her thin fairy skirt with tulle lace fluttered in the wind. She calmed herself and appeared elegant in front of the crowd. Some people cast curious eyes at her, but she turned a blind eye to them.

“Miss Ye.”

“Miss Ye.”

When she walked to the guarded entrance, several security officers greeted her.

“Who allowed you to let Li Lei in?” She was furious. “Quickly chase him out!”

“But.” A few security officers looked at each other in distress. “He has an invitation letter.”

“His invitation is fake!” Xia Ling was even angrier. She thought that if she did not send an invitation to irrelevant people, everything would be found, but she did not think that some people would be despicable enough to forge an invitation.

The security officers still felt troubled. Mr. Li was a respected figure. Even if he forged his invitation, it was more like an innocuous joke. Chasing him out in front of everyone would be a ghastly sight. However, their master had the final say, and since Miss Ye instructed them to do so, they could only perform their task.

The leading security officer picked up an intercom and told the patrolling guards inside what to do.

Unexpectedly, before they could catch him, a commotion started again.

“Oh no!” Someone exclaimed. “Young Master Shaohui and Young Master Li Rui are fighting!”

Many guests wanted to look at the commotion and quickly rushed in the direction of the voice. Xia Ling also hurriedly ran there. She knew that Shaohui was a very soft child and usually did not even dare to kill a bug. Sometimes when a moth flew into the villa, he would drive the moth away and never kill it. As for Li Rui? Besides this time, he had already beaten up children two times before.

She was afraid that Shaohui would be bullied.

However, when she arrived at the scene, she was stunned—

Shaohui was tackling Li Rui on the ground and slammed him down with his small limbs. He looked very energetic. In contrast, Li Rui wanted to fight back several times but Shaohui always avoided him at the right time.

“This… is not logical!” Some guests already shouted out. “Shaohui looks shorter than Li Rui, how could he win him in a fight? I heard that Li Rui practiced Kung Fu!” The surrounding onlookers thought so too. Logically speaking, the larger child should be the one bullying the smaller child. Why was the logic reversed? Furthermore, Li Rui always had a foul mood and did not look easy to challenge while Shaohui always looked very harmless.

The scene in front made them question reality.

The reality was that… Shaohui fought Li Rui until he was unable to fight back. Both of the children were covered in mud. Li Rui’s face and clothes were stained with blood and he looked horrifying.

Although it was said that a fight between boys was no big deal, this had turned bloody.

Someone rushed forward and tried to urge them to stop. “Shaohui, quickly stop. Stop fighting.” After that, he reached out to pull the two children apart. However, he was unable to pull Shaohui away. This child looked short and had baby fat, but he was really something when it came to a fight. Even the adults could not pull him away.

“Shaohui!” Xia Ling also called. She did not know what was wrong with this child. He was usually soft-spoken and was never angry after being reprimanded by the subordinates. This was the first time she saw him this angry.

She did not know if Shaohui heard her. Anyway, he just kept punching Li Rui. As he punched him, he viciously demanded, “Apologize!” His voice was very cute and people did know whether to laugh or cry.

“Shaohui!” Another man’s voice was heard. It was Li Lei. He had arrived some time ago and rushed forward to grab Shaohui’s hand. Somehow, he was able to pull Shaohui away from Li Rui’s body.

“Don’t touch my child!” Xia Ling anxiously said and immediately took Shaohui from him.

Li Rui did not stop her and handed Shaohui to her. He bent down to check on Li Rui. “Xiao Rui, how are you? Where are you hurt?”

Li Rui was a very stubborn child. Although he was beaten up until his face bloody and covered in dirt, he did not say a word. He climbed up and patted the dirt off his body.

“Where are you hurt?” Seeing that he was covered in blood, Li Lei was horrified. To participate in Xiao Ling’s party, he secretly brought Xiao Rui over. If the child was hurt, how could he explain it to Su Tang? After all, Xiao Rui was not his biological child. If the stepmother were put in a difficult situation, the stepfather would not be in a good place too.

Li Rui replied sullenly, “I’m not hurt.”

Li Lei was startled, and even the crowd was startled.

Suddenly, they heard Xia Ling’s anxious voice. “Doctor! Quickly call the doctor!”

Everyone turned around to look at the other child, Shaohui. They saw that Shaohui was being held in Xia Ling’s arms and blood was flowing out of his small arm. However, he was still comforting her. “Sister, I’m not hurt.”

The more he said he was not hurt, the more Xia Ling’s heart hurt.

She called for a doctor and carried her child as she ran towards the lounge.

Many people followed her. Even Li Lei took Li Rui with him in shock.

This main purpose of this banquet was to host a gathering for the children. When she organized it, she considered various accidents, so a specialized children’s doctor was already on standby. When he was called, he quickly came over to give Shaohui a check.

“How were you injured?” The doctor examined Shaohui’s arm and asked.

“I was injured by a stone.” Shaohui said softly and added, “Doctor, this is a very small injury, right? Please quickly tell Sister that I’m fine so that Sister won’t be sad anymore.”

Initially, Xia Ling was upset. After hearing what he said, she sniffed and started crying.

“Sister, don’t cry. I’m really not in pain.” The chubby child tried to reassure her.

“This child is so sensible.” Someone from the crowd who followed them in said.

“How is he sensible? He just beat Li Rui up into a pulp.” Someone else offered another opinion. Everyone kept looking interchangeably at the two children and tried to guess what had happened. They were all very interested in the gossip.
