A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

Chapter 1314: Concert Backstage

He was slightly unhappy.

He was a man with a desire to build a career from the very beginning, but such a desire was strangled from an early age and was not allowed to be realized in his life. He was sad, unhappy, and even angry, and complained of injustice. However, in the end, he had to submit to his fate. Who told him to be an illegitimate son? His father didn’t dote on him, his birth mother didn’t love him, and he had to grow up lodging under someone else’s roof? He was even fortunate enough to have good adoptive parents. Although this kind of nurturing sentiment was vigilant, he had no trouble worrying about food and clothing throughout his life and had a lot of wealth and power. He shouldn’t be too greedy.

Only when he accidentally saw his elder brother Shaohui’s outstanding ability and respect from all his subordinates did his heart have a faint sourness.

Perhaps Shaohui had already seen it.

From a very young age, without his parent’s knowledge, of all the things he learned like gun knowledge, strategies and tactics, the way to survive in the business world, and the way to dominate... he gave everything he learned to his brother who wasn’t even biological.

Shaohui really treated him like a brother.

Li Rui turned his head to prevent his elder brother from seeing the emotion in his eyes. “If you do this, Father will be unhappy.”

Li Shaohui smiled indifferently. “It has been so many years, do you think Father doesn’t know?” Their father was not as careless as he looked. On the surface, he seemed to not care about many things, but his mind was clear. Regarding what the two brothers were doing secretly, Shaohui didn’t believe that Li Lei really knew nothing.

Li Rui said, “This time’s different.” Although Shaohui taught him a lot since he was a child, in order to reassure his parents, Li Rui always pretended to be flat. Even if he occasionally had some outstanding performances, he was obediently covered by Shaohui’s light, and he was always very tactful, never interfering with the family’s core affairs.

This time Shaohui was letting him deal with the core affairs.

Shaohui still didn’t care. He patted his shoulder and lazily walked out of the study door. “It’s up to you if you want to handle it. Anyway, this matter is related to Yingluo. If the Gu family gets their way, how sad would Yingluo be?”

Li Rui stared at his back.

This elder brother was actually threatening him with his own sister! His mood was complicated. Looking at Shaohui walking out, he closed the study door smoothly and fell into a long silence. The documents on the desk were open, exuding a scent of ink, and the computer screen flickered slightly. He finally sat down and started to deal with things.

Xia Yingluo’s injury improved day by day, but her mood was always low. The family took turns to accompany her, for fear that she would do foolish things. She saw the concern of her family and felt useless. She was making them worry even at her age.

Even if it was for them, she should return to normal life as soon as possible.

Winter was getting deeper and the day when the doctor finally announced that she was fine, she told her family, “I want to do something.”

Everyone agreed with her decision. If she stayed idle, it was easy to let her mind wander. Li Lei asked her, “What do you want to do?”

Xia Yingluo shook her head blankly. “I don’t know.” She just wanted to forget Wei Lingnan by doing something. As for what it was, she couldn’t think of it and thought it wasn’t that important?

The eyes of the family brought faint anxiety.

“I’ll have a concert in a while,” Xia Ling said after a while. “You can help me deal with the concert and sing with me on stage.”

Her concerts were always huge.

Xia Yingluo looked at her mother and smiled. “Mom, I have no experience of officially performing on stage, aren’t you afraid that I’ll mess up?”

Xia Ling also laughed. “How could my daughter mess up? Even if you do, who would dare say anything?” She was already the top queen in the world and didn’t have to worry about the gains and losses. Even if she messed up the concert entirely, it wouldn’t hurt her popularity at all. Moreover, as she said, Xia Yingluo was her daughter. Even if she had no experience, as long as she stood on the stage, everyone would cheer and scream, and there was no need to worry about messing up.

The whole family surrounded Xia Yingluo. Li Rui looked at her sister with her in his arms and said, “You don’t really have no experience on the stage. Didn’t you perform well in the training camp before? It’ll be good to stand beside Mother as a star. Next time when you quarrel with Gu Jinxiu in the future, people would be sure to side with you. This is the effect of fans.”

The whole family glared at him for having touched her sore spot.

Li Rui touched his nose innocently. To help her sister out of the shadows, he had to at least let her hear the names of the dog couple. Was it not good to turn grief and indignation into combat effectiveness?

However, Xia Yingluo laughed out first. “Okay, let’s do it.” Recently, she was not interested in anything and just wanted to keep herself busy, so it was a good idea to go to her mom’s concert.

At the beginning of her illness, everyone dared not let her be too tired. After discussion, she was only allowed to sing one song with Xia Ling at the concert. Xia Yingluo talked about it lightly, but she was very afraid of shaming her mother. She worked hard on her training and her time passed peacefully.

On the day of the concert, it was extremely crowded. Xia Ling took her off the extended version of the concierge and entered the concert site under the escort of a security guard, causing fans to scream around them. The mother and daughter looked similar, like a pair of sister flowers, extremely pleasant to the eye.

The enthusiasm of the fans made Xia Yingluo feel better, and she began to understand why Mom liked to hold concerts so much.

Publicity advertisements were launched early. Everyone knew that Xia Yingluo would be on stage with Xia Ling today, and all looked forward to it.

In the backstage dressing room, Xia Yingluo prepared quietly.

Someone knocked on the door.

Xia Yingluo turned her head and saw a handsome man she didn’t know. The man was wearing a silk open shirt, which was clearly a difficult top to dominate, but he still looked charismatic and made people feel enchanted. He looked at Xia Yingluo and laughed. “You are Xia Ling’s daughter?”

Xia Yingluo asked him, “And you are?”

“Jiang Yu.” The man easily quoted his name and walked towards her. “You are beautiful.”

It turned out he was Jiang Yu.

Xia Yingluo felt like her question had been too stupid. Who didn’t know Jiang Yu? He was Skyart’s most popular film and television actor and singer male star. Even in this entertainment circle full of beauties, he was also known as the person in charge of beauty.

“Sorry,” she said, still a little awkward at not recognizing this popular face.

Jiang Yu didn’t care much and smiled. “It’s normal that you don’t recognize me. Aren’t all noble ladies like you? You can’t remember people’s names, and we’re all just transient in your eyes?”
