Xia Ling stared at them with renewed clarity.

She understood that the security guards were finding fault with her likely at the orders of the Old Master. The Old Master wanted her to move out of Li Lei’s house—she had acceded to that. He made her stay in the house next to Pei Ziheng’s for a period of three years—she had also acceded to that. However, she did not think that, despite all these compromises on her part, the Old Master was still not prepared to let her go. He was bent on breaking Li Lei and her up.

The “wife selection” ceremony? Chasing her out?

She was not someone that would just take this lying down!

“Is this how you usually treat your guests?” She said in a clear, loud voice. “Okay, I’ll leave, that’s not a problem. Maybe I should contact my manager and investigate the issue of the invitation card. And then maybe I should hold a press conference and let everyone see for themselves how the respected Old Master Li treats female artistes with less reputable family backgrounds!”

The security guards exchanged glances. Her threat was beyond the scope they were able to handle.

If this matter became publicized at such a scale, how would they be able to quash all the rumors? The Li Family would take the brunt of all the cursing of her fans if it were to get out that they were bullying a singer because she did not come from a wealthy background. What’s more, this Miss Ye wasn’t without backers. What if their own Young Master Li decided to go against his grandfather and support her in her crazy endeavors?

“Miss Ye, it doesn’t do anyone any good to blow this matter out of proportion.” The head of security responded.

Xia Ling merely sneered.

Wang Tao, who was watching from the side, commented with disgust, “What now? You’re not letting her speak her mind after having to suffer your bullying?”

His gaze swept past the faces of the security guards, Miss Nangong and Gu Lin, before landing on Xia Ling’s small, exquisite face. “Let me escort you out.”

Gu Lin was right in that his biological mother was just the second wife of his father. As a result, he had been ostracized in the Wang Family since he was a kid, and had to suffer at the hands of his stepmother, the first wife, and all his step-siblings. His “contaminated” blood did not fit in with this luxurious upper echelons of society, and he had had enough of the hypocritical mannerisms of these wealthy socialites. On the other hand, while Xia Ling was already a little Diva in her own right, she was quick for stand up for him and had thrown that cocktail in his defense. Her defiance to protocol and arrogance, which prevented her from being hypocritical, was something he admired very much.

Xia Ling turned to him and smiled. “Thank you for your trouble.” She had to tolerate all kinds of spiteful comments at this dinner and was grateful to have Wang Tao on her side so that she didn’t feel all alone.

Her line of vision looked to a point in the distance. Why hadn’t Li Lei come back yet?

“Let’s go.” Wang Tao offered his arm for her to hold on to.

“Please stay where you are, the both of you.” Now, the security guards were in a dilemma. If the matter were really to be publicized, the Old Master would skin them alive.

“Why are you asking them to stay? Just chase them out of here!” Gu Lin was still holding onto her wet dress, looking utterly disheveled with her hair in a mess. She shouted furiously, “B*tch, you threw a cocktail on me! My dad will never let you off!”
