YM778.TV Chapter 1336
Wei Lingnan’s face was horribly dreary and he stared deeply at her as if he was going to devour her. After a long time, he slowly took two steps back to make room for her to pass.
Xia Yingluo snorted coldly and without further delay, she quickly left after grooming herself properly.
She went back to her seat in the restaurant. The white tablecloth was still full of precious porcelain, foie gras wine, and caviar.
Jiang Yu was turning his goblet waiting for her in boredom. He saw the scars on her beautiful lips and couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Xia, did you go out and saw a little fresh meat or an old lover? How did you make yourself like this? If this is photographed by a reporter, what kind of animal would they think of me as?”
Xia Yingluo laughed at him. “I can explain to the reporters.”
“Don’t, how would you explain it?” Jiang Yu politely declined. “Tell them that I didn’t do it? Forget it, isn’t it better to be called a beast than being cheated on?”
Xia Yingluo smiled again. “Then you can only be wronged as a beast.” She raised her crystal goblet with red wine and clinked his lightly.
The wine touched the wound on her lips, and it hurt. Xia Yingluo unexpectedly recalled the scene in the corner of the corridor. She had clearly vented her anger when she slapped Wei Lingnan just now, but why did she feel so sour and sad now? Her expression slowly became dim.
Jiang Yu looked in her eyes and stopped laughing, and asked her softly, “You met Wei Lingnan?”
She whispered, “I don’t understand. He already has Gu Jinxiu, why does he still want to provoke me?”
“Men are always looking at the pot while eating the bowl.” Jiang Yu spared no effort to insult the enemy. “Some men are like this. When they’re with you, they don’t know how to cherish you, but when you break up, he can’t bear to see you leave. I don’t think he actually likes you. It’s just that you don’t care about him anymore and it hurts his pride, so he’s not reconciled.”
Xia Yingluo’s expression got darker, and she took another sip of wine.
Jiang Yu took the cup in her hand. “It’s not worth hurting yourself for that kind of dreg. Yingluo, you can’t drink anymore, let me take you home.”
Xia Yingluo’s mind was in a mess. Wei Lingnan’s appearance had ruined her original joy. She didn’t want to continue dining out, so she nodded and was sent home by Jiang Yu.
At the door of the house, the reporter photographed them again. Jiang Yu took care of her scarf and smiled. “Don’t move.”
The two of them were so beautiful, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and even their families were perfect, so the media always talked about them. As soon as the photo tonight came out, there was another round of admiration.
Wei Lingnan crushed the newspaper.
In the study, Gu Jinxiu pushed open the door and saw his movements. She hesitated for a moment before calling softly, “Nan.”
Wei Lingnan turned and saw her, and his expression eased slightly.
Gu Jinxiu’s gaze fell on the newspaper on the ground. In the newspaper, Xia Yingluo’s smile was so bright. Was Nam angry because of this woman? Gu Jinxiu felt as if a fire was burning in her heart, and she forced herself to press it down as if nothing happened. She said, “My friend gave me two tickets for the horse race. Shall we go together?” Since her memory was awakened, Gu Jinxiu tried to win Wei Lingnan’s favor and took note of his interests. Since he used to fight before, she guessed that he would like competitive sports such as horse racing.
However, Wei Lingnan didn’t like it.
He was even faintly disappointed. This kind of competition was no fun at all in his eyes as he was accustomed to the big scenes of life and death. Based on his understanding of Ah Luo, Ah Luo wouldn’t like it either, but Gu Jinxiu looked forward to it. His heart was inevitably filled with disappointment. Suddenly, a thought popped up. How much better would it be if it was Xia Yingluo who had been awakened instead? How did such a freak combination of factors occur? How did Ah Luo become like Gu Jinxiu after being awakened?
This thought flashed in his heart, and he quickly suppressed it. Guilt swelled in him. How could he be disloyal to Ah Luo?
So, he said to Gu Jinxiu, “I’ll go with you.”
Gu Jinxiu was in a good mood, thinking that Wei Lingnan really liked it, so she came forward to hold his hand and talk about the preparations and dressing.
Wei Lingnan’s thoughts flew uncontrollably to Xia Yingluo, who was far away.
Xia Yingluo had a good life these days. Ever since she was determined to give up Wei Lingnan, she tried her best not to think about everything regarding the man and concentrated on collecting energy. Specifically, how to make herself famous. The screenwriter Li Lei found for her had already made a script, which was a science fiction story about planet wars, called “Star Wars Era”. She saw the script, and it was very magnificent and imaginative. On the entire universe imagined by humans on Earth, a new element was added by her. It was a very rare element, and Wei Lingnan might not even notice it, but it gave the entire script a new vitality. Skyart’s senior executives all sung high praises of it after reading the script.
Xia Yingluo starred as the heroine, and the makeup artist did a great job on her. In the makeup photos, she wore a silver-white armor that radiated lilac light. Her figure was elegant and slender, and she had an arrogant look and sharp eyes like she was the queen coming to the world. Although to avoid being noticed by Wei Lingnan, she played the role of a female soldier in the whole movie.
But such a female warrior had aroused people’s attention and caused an uproar. Everybody on the streets was discussing her makeup photos. It was too beautiful, full of aura, and dazzling. They couldn’t wait to worship her. Everyone was looking forward to the release of this film, and even the critics had predicted that this would be the best science fiction film in recent years.
Even the makeup brands used in the makeup photos were sought after. The well-known cosmetics company “Huanisi” signed an agreement with Xia Yingluo, asking her to endorse their products.
Now that Xia Yingluo wanted to become more popular, she gladly accepted the invitation and shot endorsement ads of very high quality for them nonstop.
Her official video hadn’t even been filmed yet, but her popularity had soared so much that her name could be heard everywhere on the streets. Everyone was looking forward to more wonderful miracles from this heavenly girl.
Yes, her makeup photos and advertising endorsements were miracles. There was no need for dynamic performance at all. Just a gesture and a look made people surrender to her. The sales volume of Huanisi cosmetics soared upwards, and soon it surpassed its long-standing rival.
The company was very happy. The president of the Asia-Pacific region came to see Xia Yingluo to thank her for everything she did for Huanisi, and invited her to make another spring commercial.
