A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

Chapter 1381: You Are Not Qualified

There was a buzzing noise among the journalists.

Gu Jinxiu’s words that came to a halt held a profound meaning. As if she had countless grievances but was unable to express them.

Recalling that after her wedding with Wei Lingnan was interrupted and there was no further news, the group of reporters couldn’t help but guess. Could it be that Xia Yingluo changed the situation by being the third wheel and snatched Gu Jinxiu’s husband forcefully?

“Even if she’s a noble lady, she shouldn’t bully others.” Some reporters got upset.

Li Rui’s long narrow eyes glanced at Gu Jinxiu with a smile, and then swept towards the reporter who talked. “I’ve have seen you before. When my mom gave a concert some time ago, you were among the reporters waiting. Which media are you from? Let me think... yes, Poison Tongue Entertainment! How dare you run your mouth randomly? Manage your mouth. Otherwise, you might not even be able to become a public reporter.”

He had a smile on his face, but his words were cold.

Many reporters present felt a shiver down their spine. They unexpectedly remembered rumors about this daring Second Young Master Li. Someone quietly pulled the little reporter’s sleeve. “Forget it.”

But the reporter was a newcomer that had a high traffic count and made a lot of money, so he thought he was too big a thing to be talked down to. He flicked his sleeve angrily and glared at the man who pulled him. “Why are you pulling me! I’m doing this for justice! Mr. Li Rui, are you threatening a reporter?”

The person’s kindness was trampled on, and he also felt annoyed inside.

I was kind to help you, but you just had to seek death for yourself.

At the moment, he turned aside with a cold face and didn’t care anymore.

The smile on Li Rui’s lips deepened. “So what if I’m threatening you?”

“You!” The reporter was so angry. He didn’t expect Li Rui to admit it so generously, without even being ashamed! He couldn’t help but say, “Even if you are rich, do you know what happens once you offend a reporter?! Everyone, tell me, this person is a blatant hindrance to our freedom of speech. Should we bear it?!”

However, the scene was silent.

The other reporters looked at him strangely, and a few of them who were still close to him stepped back, lest they cause trouble.

The reporter who went against Li Rui was stunned and looked at his companions angrily, unable to understand. “You!”

Li Rui chuckled again. “What kind of entertainment journal has such a sense of justice? No... I still appreciate those powerful journalists who are unyielding and insist on fair reporting. Unfortunately, you are not one of them. You can’t even understand the truth behind Yingluo and that bitch, and said that Yingluo bullied her, so I could only give you what you wanted and bully you, right?”

“How could you say I’m a bitch?” Gu Jinxiu wept on the side.

Li Rui ignored her and took off his branded watch. “Although this watch isn’t valuable, it’s worth a few years of your struggles. Whoever drives the pesky guy away will receive this watch from me.”

As soon as his words fell, several reporters rushed forward and took the reporter away in a hurry.

“What are you doing! This is a violation of human rights!... Oh, Oh!” He refused to leave, but his strength was limited and he was dragged to the side of the highway by the fence. Several reporters took off his clothes quickly and tied him to the protective fence. To prevent him from disturbing Li Rui by speaking out, they also cleverly blocked his mouth with stinky socks.

The smell of the stinky socks suffocated the reporter. He glared at them desperately, but couldn’t get out of the predicament.

Li Rui watched this scene calmly. This was the consequence of offending his sister, and even this was a light punishment. He had intended on going back and informing his subordinates to create trouble for them.

They were a family of the black underground, and whoever provoked them should know the consequences.

Li Rui smiled and watched as the reporters who had tied him up ran back and scrambled in front of him for the reward. He readily offered the watch that had only been worn for a few days and said, “Don’t grab it, all of you have a share. Go to my assistant to retrieve it tomorrow.”

The crowd who had fought shamelessly for just one watch burst into cheers because of his words.

“Thank you, Second Young Master Li!”

“I knew Second Young Master Li was the most generous!”

Li Rui smiled and narrowed his eyes. “It’s nothing. I would like you to take care of Yingluo in the future.”

The reporters certainly understood what he meant, and nodded again and again. “Of course, of course. I heard that filming was very hard on Ms. Xia Yingluo, thus she had hypoglycemia at the wedding. During this time, she was cured and is in very good condition.”

“Yeah, yeah. Ms. Xia is the most dedicated female star.”

“Ms. Xia is so beautiful and hard-working, it’s really touching.”

“Second Master Li even brought his sister out for a spin, they’re really the ideal siblings.”

They were all currying favor one by one, but Li Rui nodded comfortably. He liked to deal with these entertainment reporters. With just a little hint, they were clear on what to do.

Gu Jinxiu’s expression wasn’t good. These horrible reporters really had their eyes closed! A bunch of garbage!

She stopped the car here because she wanted to pretend to be pitiful in front of the reporters, hoping it would cause news topics and public opinion to lean towards her. Maybe Wei Lingnan would even pity her and come back to her again.

This was her only option left.

Seeing that the situation was not good, she simply gritted her teeth and headed straight to the car where Xia Yingluo was. Then, she knelt down. “Xia Yingluo, please leave me and Nan alone. You are so beautiful and your family is so good. Why snatch my husband away? Please, I beg you!”

Her voice was somber and she almost cried.

Li Rui did not expect this woman to go so far as to go down on her knees.

The group of journalists was stimulated. They raised their cameras and instinctively planned to take pictures.

Gu Jinxiu was happy. As long as these photos were circulated, even if the reporter was biased, the public would have their own judgment, and Xia Yingluo’s reputation for bullying people would become justified. And she would be shaped as a poor woman.

However, Li Rui only raised his hand gently, and all the cameras were retracted.

These reporters weren’t fools. Since Second Young Master Li didn’t let them shoot, they dare not make trouble.

Even if they often offended people to grab news, this man was not an ordinary person. He was famous for taking revenge and still had such a huge background in the family. Furthermore, he was in front of them, so they didn’t dare to go against him.

Gu Jinxiu’s wishful thinking was broken and her face became paler.

“Li Rui, you can’t decide for Xia Yingluo. I know she’s in the car. I want to talk directly to her!” She hissed exhaustedly.

“I said, you are not qualified.” Li Rui still smiled.

However, as soon as his voice fell, the door of the sports car opened and a pair of beautiful high heels gracefully stepped on the ground.
