A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return - Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429: Beyond Dispute

Jin Ling’er was shocked. “What? She’s still one of the better ones?!”

Looking at her reaction, Xia Yingluo sighed and said, “Yes. To gain power, these families could fight to their deaths. Scheming and murder are common things. The worst ones are the calculative ones, and you won’t even know when you’re going to die if you meet them.”

Her words sent a chill down Jin Ling’er’s spine. “It can’t be. She… she will kill me?”

Xia Yingluo laughed. “Look at how scared you are. That’s why I said Aunt Sheng is still one of the better ones. She’s not so calculative. Her words might be harsh, but she’s a softie at heart. If she really wanted to harm you, she won’t even insult you like that. She will indifferently welcome you into her home and pretend that everything is fine. After that, she will secretly plot for your death in a car accident and you will disappear without a trance.”

Jin Ling’er’s jaw dropped. “That’s horrifying. This…”

Although Xia Yingluo’s family was peaceful, she grew up in a social circle of rich people and heard all sorts of rumors. At this time, she comforted Jin Ling’er. “Although Aunt Sheng is a little snobbish, she’s a relatively simple person. If she likes you, she’ll show it. If she hates you, she’ll also show it. Even though she is adamant about you separating from Brother Du Zheng, once she accepts you, she will protect you like she protects Brother Du Zheng.”

Jin Ling’er’s anxious feelings were finally reduced. “Thank you, Yingluo. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know what I should do.” Even though she liked Du Zheng a lot, it would difficult if Du Zheng got into a conflict with his family because of her.

Xia Yingluo comforted her again, asked her to rest and left the ward.

On the other hand, Sheng Yuqiong returned back home. She threw her bag on the sofa and ranted. “Seriously, she’ll be the death of me!”

She was still harping on what happened in the hospital. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. How dare that cheap bitch Jin Ling’er seduce her son! She spared her this time due to Xia Yingluo, but next time, she better be careful!

Outside, a servant came in and announced. “Madam, Miss Gu Jinxiu is here to see you.”

“I don’t want to see her!” Sheng Yuqiong was still furious and spoke without thinking.

As soon as she said that, she heard an elegant chuckle from outside the door. “Aunt Sheng, what made you so angry?” A young woman dressed in an embroidered dress calmly stepped into the living room and looked at the furious Sheng Yuqiong.

When she saw her, Sheng Yuqiong gritted her teeth. “It’s because of my good-for-nothing son! Jinxiu, why did you come over today? Sit down. Nanny Li, aren’t you going to pour some tea for Miss Gu?”

The servant who made the announcement quickly went to do her job.

The Du Family were business partners with both the Li Family and the Gu Family. As the Li Family was usually abroad, the Du Family dealt with the Gu Family more frequently. Gu Jinxiu knew how to present herself well and was able to appear extremely respectful and elegant in front of her elders, so Sheng Yuqiong really liked her. She also frequently chatted with Sheng Yuqiong and Sheng Yuqiong almost thought of her as her own daughter.

After hearing Sheng Yuqiong, Gu Jinxiu smiled again. She naturally sat beside her and reassured her. “Aunt Sheng, Brother Du Zheng is a rare talent in our generation and you have been too strict on him. That’s why you always pick up on his flaws.”

“This time, I’m really not picking on his flaws. He could like any girl but…” After Gu Jinxiu gently asked about the matter, Sheng Yuqiong poured out all her bitter thoughts and told her everything about Jin Ling’er and Du Zheng. She even said, “When I heard about their marriage in the news, I was terrified and went to the hospital to make sure that it was fake news. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to kick that brat out of the house if things got too serious.”

Gu Jinxiu’s expression slightly darkened.

Of course she heard the recent news and to a certain extent, she kind of contributed to the situation. She originally wanted to harm Jin Ling’er, but instead, she failed to kill her and her relationship with Du Zheng was strengthened!

Gu Jinxiu was indignant and had a common enemy with Sheng Yuqiong. “That brat is a bitch!”

“Exactly, a bitch! A jinx!” Sheng Yuqiong finally found someone who agreed with her and insulted her with Gu Jinxiu. She sighed again. “Unfortunately, I don’t know why Ah Zheng is blinded by her. He told me there’s no one else he would marry except her.”

Gu Jinxiu was shocked. She did not think that things would progress like that.

No way. How could she let Jin Ling’er marry Du Zheng?

Even when she ignored her personal preferences and focused on status there was a problem. Jin Ling’er was Xia Yingluo’s good friend. If Jin Ling’er married into the Du Family, wouldn’t the Du Family side with Xia Yingluo in the future? The Gu Family had already lost the support of the Li Family and Wei Lingnan was also seduced by Xia Yingluo. If the Du Family became more distant from the Gu Family, the Gu Family would become very helpless!

She could not let something like this happen!

Suddenly, Gu Jinxiu thought of a good idea. “Aunt Sheng, you are right! Considering Brother Du Zheng’s status, how could he marry Jin Ling’er? How about you expose their fake marriage and say that Jin Ling’er unscrupulously seduced Du Zheng. In that case, all of the gossip columns will support you. She’s only a small celebrity and won’t be able to survive the insults of the public. At that time, she will naturally give up.”

Sheng Yuqiong’s eyes lit up. “Yes, you make a lot of sense! Ok, I will do it then. Jinxiu, luckily you’re here to give me ideas. Otherwise, I won’t know what to do.”

Gu Jinxiu smiled again. “Aunt Sheng, don’t worry. I will always stand by your side.”

Very soon, a new headline made its way into the news. According to a personal verification by Du Zheng’s mother, Sheng Yuqiong, Du Zheng never married Jin Ling’er. As the President of the Du Family Corporation, Du Zheng only signed the hospital consent form as her husband because it was a critical moment and he wanted to save her life. Unexpectedly, Jin Ling’er shamelessly became entangled with Du Zheng after she woke up and deliberately caused everyone to have a misunderstanding.

There was a public uproar. Looking at the devastated picture of Du Zheng’s mother in the news, everyone started to condemn Jin Ling’er for being scheming.

The hospital where Jin Ling’er stayed was not a secret. These days, people would throw garbage at the door of her ward from time to time. Even when Du Zheng pushed her wheelchair in the garden, there would be people rushing up and calling her a bitch.

Jin Ling’er could not bear the hardship, but the world was entrapped by the negative news that she could not dispute.
