Rebirth of the Entertainment Circle: Return of the Queen

Chapter 32 Crystal Rose

Xia Ling opened it, and on the luxurious black velvet substrate lay a Venus crystal rose. The charming and delicate petals are stretched out in layers, with excellent color and fine carving. Every section is perfect. The sunlight streaming in from the floor-to-ceiling glass window reflects on this elegant red rose, as if it has a radiant light flowing like water. It is so gorgeous and moving that it cannot be compared.

 “This is given to you personally by Dong Pei.” Chu Chen said.

 She knows exactly what sending roses means.

There was a sense of absurdity and emptiness in his heart. It had only been a few months since she was killed. Even before her body was cold, he was already eager to find a new lover? Oh, what does her devoted love for him these past ten years count? And when Wang Jingwan was engaged to him, what was her pain, unwillingness and noise?

 Without Wang Jingwan, there will always be Li Jingwan and Ye Jingwan.

As long as Pei Ziheng is willing, there will never be a shortage of people around him.

She is the only one who foolishly believes in the fairy tale of two people for the rest of their lives, unable to extricate themselves.

 The years are getting colder, and so are people’s hearts.

The bright red crystal rose lies quietly in the black velvet box, so gorgeous that it dazzles the eyes. Xia Ling reached out to close the lid and pushed it back to Chu Chen: "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, I can't accept this gift."

Chu Chen was not surprised: "Is it because of Wei Shaoyin? Don't worry, this matter can be easily solved."

She was slightly startled, looked up and saw the ambiguity in his eyes, and then realized that she had been misunderstood. Around the previous year-end ceremony, Wei Shaoyin took too much care of her, which caused others to have some inappropriate associations.

Xia Ling's tone became colder: "This matter has nothing to do with Wei Shaoyin. Not everyone is so dirty."

"You think this kind of thing is dirty?" Chu Chen laughed. "Miss Ye, no, little girl... you are so incredible to me. Are you only sixteen years old this year, or seventeen? How much do you know about the dangers of this society? ? Let me tell you, being favored by Director Pei is a good thing that makes many people laugh out of their dreams. Do you understand? "

Of course she understands it, better than anyone else.

How did that humble orphan become a big star that attracted worldwide attention? How did that little Xia Ling, who even looked at people's faces when she was eating a piece of candy, later be fawned over by all the stars...

 She remembered each item clearly.

 However, what she understands better is the price all this will cost.

Looking directly into Chu Chen's eyes, Xia Ling said slowly: "Mr. Chu, don't waste your efforts anymore. I refuse this matter."

Chu Chen's expression also cooled down and he looked at her for a long time: "Ye Xingling, don't toast or drink as a penalty." He has many ways of manipulating people, which is why Pei Ziheng chose him to be Xia Ling's manager in the first place. No matter what kind of trouble he encounters, he can always solve it in various ways and make things go according to his wishes.

 In the past, Xia Ling admired his ability, but now she just feels uneasy.

Unconsciously closing her fingers, she clenched the glass on the table: "Chu Chen, what do you want? Don't forget, the big boss of Tianyi is Li Lei, and you will not be allowed to be presumptuous." She looked stern but subconsciously He brought up the man's name, hoping to scare Chu Chen across from him. However, even she herself had no hope. If Chu Chen could be scared away so easily, how could he reach his current status in the entertainment industry?

Sure enough, Chu Chen just smiled.

"Don't be stupid, Ye Xingling." He said, "If you really belong to Wei Shaoyin, Li Lei might take action, just for the sake of his favorite general. But you said it yourself, It has nothing to do with Wei Shaoyin, so why does Boss Li help you? Even if he is rich and powerful, he will not have time to interfere with the personal affairs of a young trainee, right?"

She really wanted to tell Chu Chen that Li Lei was already free enough to try to protect her, so why didn't he come to take care of this matter? But she was disheartened to find that Chu Chen was right. Why did Boss Li help her? She hasn't agreed to his request for support yet. If she really asks for help with a shy face, she won't be humiliating herself.

However, thinking about it, she couldn't give in on this matter. "Agent Chu," Xia Ling looked at him and said, "No matter how many times you ask me, the answer is the same, I refuse."

 Chu Chen no longer advised him.

 He took out the money to pay for the bill, slapped it on the table, and stood up: "Take care of yourself, Ye Xingling."

Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the sunlight gradually fell silent. She watched his back go away, sat in the cafe, drank the already cold water slowly and quietly, and left without touching the crystal rose he left on the table.

 Back at the training camp, the next day was an ordinary day.

 She got up, washed up, changed into clean dance clothes, and went to train as usual. In the dance practice room, there were familiar scenes, the coaches who taught strictly, the trainees who sweated profusely and gritted their teeth and worked hard... everything was so beautiful and simple. Suddenly, she felt that the previous encounters with Pei Ziheng and Chu Chen were just the same. field illusion.

 At the end of the day's training, she returned to the dormitory.

Pushing the door open, I saw something on the bed. It was an exquisitely crafted long box, half-open, revealing the black velvet backing inside, and a Venus crystal rose that was bright red and glowing.

She looked at it and felt a sudden chill in her body.

Roommate Lan Lan walked in from behind her, wrapped in a bath towel, and used the towel to wipe the water droplets dripping from her hair: "Xing Ling, why don't you go take a shower?" Seeing that she didn't move, he followed her gaze to look at the place. A rose, "Are you looking at this? I don't know which of your mysterious admirers sent it to me. I have been in the dormitory all day today, but I just went out for a meal at noon, and it lay on your bed inexplicably." Lan Lan Looking at the crystal rose, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

The other two roommates also squeezed over: "Yes, yes, we also asked the dormitory and people in several dormitories around, and they all said that they didn't see anyone coming in. It's really strange."

That rose quietly exudes cold, inorganic light.

Several roommates were still sighing: "What a beautiful rose. This kind of crystal looks very expensive at first glance. I don't know who has so much money that they have no place to spend it. They are really willing to spend a lot of money... They don't even leave a name." "

Xia Ling had no time to pay attention to them. She just stared at the rose without saying a word, as if staring at some terrible monster. When she left the coffee shop yesterday, she clearly abandoned it on the table. Why did it appear silently on her bed today? !

This is Tianyi. Although it is only a small training camp, there are also a lot of security guards.

Chu Chen, no, it should be Pei Ziheng... As long as he wants to do something here, it is like entering a deserted land.

At this moment, Xia Ling understood one thing deeply. Pei Ziheng would never give up easily. This gorgeous but cold crystal rose was a declaration of determination and a silent warning.
