A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Half a month ago, he could not even believe that someone would be able to push Imperial Entertainment and him to such an extent.

However, Skyart Entertainment’s Li Lei did it.

Pei Ziheng felt there was something wrong with this situation. Logically speaking, the overall strength of Skyart Entertainment was slightly inferior to that of Imperial Entertainment. How could it pressurize Imperial Entertainment with such an overwhelming advantage? Everything about it seemed strange.

However, Pei Ziheng did not have the energy to think about it. Skyart was pressurizing him so much that he could barely breathe. He forced himself not to retreat and gave his all to engage in this violent battle with Skyart. Behind him was the enormous Pei Family. If he lost, it would mean the defeat of the entire family, and this sin was unforgivable.

However, Xia Ling did not care about that.

Since that day after she cried and slept, she gradually became willing to eat after she woke up and was in a better mood. Although she was still sad, her grief was within the acceptable range of a normal person. When the doctor came over to check the wound on her stomach, she agreed. She was only focused on recovering faster so she could find out the truth about her baby’s tragic accident.

Pei Ziheng said Xia Yu did it.

However, was it really Xia Yu? That day when she met Xia Yu on the porch, Xia Yu said that Pei Ziheng invited her over for the 100-day commemoration. Both of them had the motive to murder the baby. She could not base the truth on Pei Ziheng’s words and had to find a way to verify it personally.

For her baby, she cooperated with the doctor more than ever to get better soon.

The doctor said, “Mrs. Pei, even if your wound has healed, you can never be pregnant again.”

After she heard that, her heart was empty as if someone had dug out a part of her life. However, this was her own choice, so she did not regret it. If she did not harden her heart and stab herself, Pei Ziheng would definitely force her to have children, and she did not want to give birth to a baby she would not love. All her maternal love had been given to Shaohui. Now, she missed his clear and bright smile, silly laughter, and delicate hands and feet.

Sometimes, she would stand in front of the window of the ward and look down at the pregnant women in the garden wearing pink patient suits and carrying their newborn children. Tears would then start brimming in her eyes.

Her baby only lived for a hundred days.

She was immersed in her memories and was indifferent to changes in the outside world. The weather started to get warmer, and the peace blossoms bloomed again. She remembered at this time last year, a new life was born from her womb. That feeling was wonderful and beautiful… and she would never experience it again in the future.

In a trance, she ate and slept in the VIP single ward.

Until one day, when she pushed the door of the ward open, a large group of reporters suddenly barged in.

“Ye Xingling, do you know that recently, Skyart Entertainment and Imperial Entertainment fought again? We heard that it was because of you. What do you think?” A reporter followed her and handed her the microphone.

Another reporter shoved his way in and said, “Ye Xingling, do you know that Imperial Entertainment is about to go bankrupt? After the bankruptcy, will you divorce Pei Ziheng?”

“Are you a commercial spy sent by Skyart Entertainment?”

“We heard that the entire Pei Family is cursing you and can’t wait for you to die. Is that true?”

She was startled after being surrounded by the surge of questions thrown at her.

“What happened?” She hurriedly asked the reporter. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” What did he mean when he said Skyart and Imperial fought again, and Imperial was about to go bankrupt? Oh god, what sort of national joke was this? Imperial was so powerful, how could it be destroyed so easily in less than a month?!

“Don’t you know?” A reporter said. “Don’t pretend, Ye Xingling. The news is spreading that Pei Ziheng and Li Lei are fighting over you. Although you married Pei Ziheng, you’re still connected with Li Lei and even handed over Imperial Entertainment’s trade secrets to Skyart Entertainment. Otherwise, how could Skyart Entertainment drive Imperial Entertainment into a corner since it was no match for Imperial Entertainment in the first place?!”

Xia Ling only felt a buzzing sound in her brain. She knew that there would be no results from engaging with the reporters, so she forcefully pushed them and walked out. In the chaos, she did not know which male reporter lecherously touched her chest, but she did not care about him. Her waist and hips were also touched a few times.

She was in a different situation and spent a lot of effort to escape the surrounding reporters. Just as she stepped foot in the corridor outside of the ward, the group of reporters chased her again. “Ye Xingling, please answer! Do you know it’s immoral to have relationships with two people at once? Don’t you feel embarrassed?”

“Exposing trade secrets… Do you think you can face Pei Ziheng?”

They kept chasing her with questions, and someone reached out to pull her back.

“Let me go!” She originally was not a good-tempered person and was furious. In the past, when she was famous, she had seen more reporters than this. However, at that time, there were bodyguards to clear the way and managers escorting her. How could she be in such a bad situation like now?

Moreover, in the past, no reporters dared to pull her or even touch her randomly with their oily hands!

She panicked and believed what they said was true. Imperial was really about to close down. Otherwise, how could those reporters barge into the heavily guarded VIP ward to humiliate her?!

She was trapped. The more she struggled, the more those people chased and touched her. Their questions were getting more intrusive and horrible.

“Let her go.” Suddenly, she heard a voice.

It was lazy and magnetic, and there was a hidden undertone of anger.

An unkempt-haired Xia Ling looked up and saw Li Lei in the crowd.

He stood at the end of the corridor and still looked naturally attractive. He looked like a top male model dressed in a light-colored casual outfit. The clear sunlight streamed into the hallway and onto his body, making him look really handsome. Although the memory of him in her minded was a little faded, he was in a good mood and still had a pair of shining eyes. With a faint expression on his face, he made a thunderous appearance.

Time seemed to stop.

She looked at him as if all the shoving and chaos around her was just background noise. His face was magnified in her mind. She looked at him greedily and could not look away.

As he strode forward, the reporters unconsciously retreated and made way for him.

“Oh my god, it’s Li Lei…” They did not expect that Li Lei would really appear. Did it mean that there was really something going on between Ye Xingling and Li Lei? Initially, they went to the ward for gossip and just had conjectures. They planned to take a few unsightly photos of her and add a sensational caption to them to attract readers.

Unexpectedly, just as they were randomly speculating a love triangle, it turned out to be true?!

Li Lei walked in front of Xia Ling. He reached out his hand and saved her from the reporters.

Her clothes were all messy and wrinkled, and her formerly loose hair was also untidy, just like a refugee. Li Lei glanced at her, took off his coat, and put it on her thin shoulders, saying, “Let’s go.”
