A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 265: Have A Sincere Attitude When Asking For Help

Father Gu was very unhappy that Li Lei refused to help him.

Father Gu called him a few times to persuade him using his status as an elder to get Ye Xingling back as soon as possible. In Father Gu’s eyes, so what if Li Lei was the younger grandson of the Li family which was a triad? No matter what, he was part of the younger generation and soon or later would marry his daughter. His Linlin was so outstanding, how could she not marry the man she loved?

That also meant that sooner or later, Li Lei would have to call him ”father-in-law.”

Father Gu was displeased. This was Li Lei’s attitude towards his future father-in-law?

Over the phone, his voice became stricter. ”Xiao Lei, why are you trying to shirk responsibility? Even if Ye Xingling is about to leave Skyart, she still has a contract with us! As her Boss, isn’t the right thing to ask her to apologize to Linlin and reshoot the advertisement? Why do you have to make the situation more difficult?!”

He was worried. This had to be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Old Master found out about it, Gu Lin would be punished.

Li Lei smiled warmly and respectfully. ”Uncle Gu, Xiao Ling is more stubborn than your daughter. Do you think she will be willing to apologize to her? Besides, the one at fault is not her. How about I liaise with her manager and we discuss the matter. You can also send someone here to discuss the terms with Xiao Ling’s manager.”

”Xiao Lei, are you really not going to give us any face?” Father Gu was enraged.

”We can’t always be giving you face.” Li Lei’s tone was slightly cold. ”Uncle Gu, do you still remember what happened during the reception party at Imperial Entertainment? You and Gu Lin made Xiao Ling’s life difficult in front of so many prominent guests. At that time, I already said that I would not be giving you face anymore.”

Father Gu choked and vaguely remembered that he said something like that.

How incorrigible. Wasn’t she just a small star? ”You have already broken up with her, why are you still protecting her?!”

”That’s none of your business.” Li Lei said. ”Uncle Gu, if there’s nothing else, I will hang up first.” He hung up the phone and sent someone to instruct Sister Mai Na not to be polite if anyone from the Gu Financial Magnate tried to look for Xiao Ling.

They would have to pay the price for messing with the one he loved.

Old family friends were not spared.

Father Gu was so enraged that he smashed his phone.

Gu Lin looked at him with a worried expression. ”How was it, dad? Did Brother Lei not agree to it?”

”Your Brother Lei is really blinded by that vixen!” Father Gu said scornfully. He turned around and saw that Gu Lin’s face had slightly turned white, and tears were brimming in her eyes. His heart ached again. ”Silly girl, don’t be afraid. I will think of another way out for you.”

”What other way can there be?!” Gu Lin threw a tantrum. ”Dad, why can’t you even settle such a small thing?! Quickly ask that irritating Ye Xingling to come back for a reshoot. Otherwise, I will be sent to Green Island Girls’ Boarding School by Old Master Gu! I refuse to go there!” She had caused a lot of trouble once and was sent to Green Island Girls’ Boarding School by Old Master Gu who told her to respect the rules. That school was in a very isolated area with stringent rules. The girls all wore long dark skirts and had very short hair. They were as ugly as nuns, had to have a mass every meal and become vegetarians! She was not crazy enough to want to be sent back there.

Father Gu also could not bear for his daughter to be sent back there.

”I’ve already sent someone to liaise with Ye Xingling’s manager.” Since the situation was like that, he could only listen to Li Lei and look for Sister Mai Na. No matter how unwilling Father Gu was, he was forced to lower himself by the circumstances.

He thought that he had already lowered himself enough.

Unexpectedly, Sister Mai Na required him to lower himself even more. ”Gu Financial Magnate? Recently, you have caused a lot of trouble for us.” Sister Mai Na smiled smugly like a queen at the Gu Financial Magnate’s representative. ”You want to beg Xiao Ling to go back? Alright then, please be more sincere.”

The representative from Gu Financial Magnate understood that if he did not give any incentives, he would not be able to persuade Ye Xingling. Gritting his teeth, he asked, ”What sort of incentives are you looking at?”

”Ten times the appearance fee.”
