Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 224 An Encounter Off the Stage

Sister Mina looked at the phone that was hung up and got angry for a while: "Li Lei, I'm fucking you!"

After being rude, I almost dropped my phone.

What she didn't know was that Xia Ling secretly heard all this behind the guest room door.Sister Mina's anger and helplessness, the adults and children's innocuous chatter in the living room, the laughter...

She suddenly felt tightness in her chest, all this was so unbearable.

Xia Ling found a few pieces of clothing from the closet in the guest room, made herself into a disguise, and left a note for Sister Mai Na telling her not to worry, and sneaked out of Mai's house when she was unaware.

The street was deserted, and the smell of food and the sound of firecrackers could be heard sporadically.

The residential area is brightly lit, like isolated islands in the silent night sea.

Xia Ling wrapped her coat tightly and walked aimlessly on the street. The world is so big that she doesn't know where she can find her own shelter. All the happiness belongs to others, only the unforgettable loneliness and pain , to stay in her heart to taste silently.

She walked and came to a building.

Looking up at the high open-air stage, she stood her ground—it turned out to be here.In her previous life, she was murdered at the [-]th anniversary concert of her debut.

The stage was still the same, but it was no longer the lively scene of the past. The fine snowflakes covered the huge venue in a pale, cold metal steps and fences, and the lights were dim.Xia Ling looked at the stage for a long time, and it seemed as if the cheers of countless fans that day could be heard in her ears, as well as the heart-piercing swan song at the end.

"A butterfly in a cage, wings that can't fly..." She whispered, singing the lyrics at that time softly, reaching out to the high stage, as if trying to catch some broken phantom.

"Snapped". "Snapped".Twice.

Someone actually applauded, and the applause echoed faintly in the empty snow field.

Xia Ling was frightened, turned her head, and saw a tall man sitting on the second-floor stand, wearing a black overcoat and a long scarf, his face could not be seen clearly under the dim light, only a handsome outline was vaguely outlined, like a god.

Xia Ling's breathing stagnated.

She knew who it was, the person she would never forget even if she was turned into ashes in another life - Pei Ziheng.

Isn't it New Year's Eve today? Why is he here?Xia Ling remembered the rules of the Pei family. This ancient wealthy family, like the Li family, wanted the whole family to gather together for a reunion dinner.As the head of the clan, Pei Ziheng used to attend on time every year, so that even in her previous life, she had to wrong herself and go back to the clan with him every year.

But this year, he came here in disregard of the family rules.

The place where she died.

Pei Ziheng stood up, his tall body covered the dim light.He walked towards her step by step: "Why did you appear here, Ye Xingling?"

"I..." She took two steps back, not knowing how to answer.In terms of emotion and reason, it is inappropriate for her to appear here at this time. How can I explain it so as not to make him suspicious?Xia Ling just felt that too many things had happened in the past two days, she was too tired, and couldn't think of any perfect excuses, so she simply gave up and said, "I'm broken in love."

People all over the world knew that she was broken in love, abandoned by Li Lei, and ridiculed by all the media and the public.

Pei Ziheng obviously heard the news, and was not surprised: "Really? That's really pitiful."

He walked up to her step by step, and looked down at her pale and haggard face: "Every time I see you, you show your teeth and claws, why did you do this to yourself this time?" His voice was low, as if stating an ordinary fact .

Hearing it in her ears made her want to cry.

In the past, she was arrogant and self-willed under his protection, even if her finger was pricked by a rose thorn, she could cry to him for a long time with tears in her eyes, but now, after she has suffered such a big grievance, she still pretends to be indifferent, Throw out a sentence coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Pei Ziheng fell silent.

Today is the New Year's Eve, and for some reason, he doesn't want to go back to the clan and fight with those old and immortal vagrants.He remembered that every time during the Spring Festival in the past, Xiaoling would try her best not to let him go back, whether she lost her temper or acted like a baby, but for the sake of that power and responsibility, every year, he dragged and coaxed her away. Take it back to Pei's house.

Obviously she doesn't like it.

He clearly knew that she had been wronging herself.

Pei Ziheng regretted it, once, even if it was only once, why didn't he follow Xiaoling's wish, take her to climb the snow mountain to watch the fireworks, wake up in a romantic travel place early in the morning, and say Happy New Year?
Now, he can only be here alone, watching her fall on the stage, feeling sad.

Xia Ling turned her face away from him, fearing that she would not be able to restrain her weakness if she looked at him again.

She stepped back step by step, turned around and was about to leave.

"It's right here." Under the empty stage, in the fine falling snowflakes, she heard Pei Ziheng's lonely voice, "When I watched her singing on the stage, she was so beautiful and dazzling...Suddenly it was dark, and she left me."

His voice was hoarse.

Xia Ling was shocked and stopped in her tracks.This was the first time she heard him talk about that disaster, and the first time she heard him remember her in such a sad and desolate tone.

Pei Ziheng didn't look at her, but still looked at the stage: "I punished the murderer. I want those two people to pay for her life, and I want those two families to be wiped out... so what? She will never come back."

"Who?" She turned around and asked, "Who is the murderer?"

She never knew who killed her. In the dark, the knife stabbed into the back of her heart was so deep that she was killed with one blow.Is it really the Wang family as she guessed?Not long after her death, the Wang family declared bankruptcy and disappeared.

Sure enough, Pei Ziheng said: "Wang Jingzhou." This was Wang Jingwan's elder brother, "He bought a murderer, and he pulled the switch in the power distribution room. Taking advantage of the darkness, the murderer he bribed rushed onto the stage and killed Xiao Ling."

"that's it?"

"That's it." Pei Ziheng laughed mockingly, "My little Ling was killed by such a clumsy method."

Hearing what he said, Xia Ling felt a sense of relief in her heart.That's great...it's the Wang family, not Xia Yu.Even if their sisters turned against each other, but she really didn't want the person who put her to death at the beginning to be the sister she had cared for with all her heart.

But Pei Ziheng, she is dead, what else does he miss?
When he was alive, he was so cruel to her, but after she died, he pretended to be affectionate? !
She satirized him coldly: "If you treat her better, don't provoke the Wang family, and don't get engaged to Wang Jingwan, then the Wang family won't kill Xia Ling just to avenge Wang Jingwan."

"How do you know?" Pei Ziheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at her, "How do you know that the Wang family took revenge on Xiaoling because of Wang Jingwan's death?!" His relationship with Xia Ling was a secret. When he imprisoned Xia Ling, The public only thought that Xia Ling was unwell and recuperating from illness, or they thought it was a ban.The cause of Wang Jingwan's death was completely cleaned up by him. In front of the public opinion, Xia Ling was not involved at all. How could the girl in front of her know that the Wang family was angry with Xia Ling because of Wang Jingwan's death? !

Xia Ling's heart skipped a beat, realizing that she had slipped her tongue.
