Chapter 266: Naturally Noble
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Ling received a call from Sister Mai Na saying that the situation with Meteor Wings had been settled and she had to go back for a reshoot soon.
Ever since they started working together, she always trusted Sister Mai Na. Since Sister Mai Na said that the issue was settled, she must have fiercely dealt with the Gu Financial Magnate. Xia Ling could not help but become curious. “What have you done to them?”
Sister Mai Na smiled. “A revenge that required them to pay you ten times more.”
She was really very vicious.
Xia Xiao Ling was delighted to be able to receive more money and praised Sister Mai Na for her viciousness over the phone.
Sister Mai Na continued to laugh. “I can’t believe you’re so happy over such a minor thing! Let me tell you, there are even larger things to be happy about. Just wait for Gu Lin to serve you tea!”
Gu Lin was going to serve her tea?
Xia Ling was unconvinced but finally understood after arriving at the shooting scene. Sister Mai Na was really more vicious than everyone thought she was. No one knew what method she used, but she actually made Gu Lin serve Xia Ling tea. In front of everyone, Gu Lin carried a cup of tea and walked in front of her. “Ye Xingling, drink the tea.” She said stiffly.
Everyone fell over in surprise.
What was wrong with this moronic Miss Gu that she was actually willing to condescend to simple men.
Gu Lin felt very uneasy after being stared at by everyone and fiercely darkened her tone. “Quickly take the cup and drink the tea!” Did they think she wanted to serve tea to that irritating woman? Of course not!
After the Gu Financial Magnate’s Representative returned with this request after the negotiation, Gu Lin exploded in anger and insisted that Father Gu fire that betrayer of a negotiator. However, Father Gu said, “Linlin, those on Ye Xingling’s side aren’t willing to make a concession. How about you tolerate this for a while? Otherwise, if your grandfather learns about this matter, he will really send you back to Green Island Girls’ Boarding School.”
Father Gu could not bear to let Gu Lin go back there because she was his only precious daughter.
Gu Lin rebuked. “I would rather go to Green Island Girls’ Boarding School!”
“Linlin.” Father Gu desperately tried to advise her. “Originally, it would be ok if you went to the girls’ boarding school and suffered a bit for a year. However, it is not ideal for you to do that. Once you leave, won’t Li Lei be even more enchanted by that vixen? A year is enough for too many things to happen. You better think about it carefully.”
His words truly alarmed Gu Lin.
He was right. Why did she not think of that before? If she let her grandfather send her to Green Island Girls’ Boarding School now, it would be granting Ye Xingling’s wish! In fact, maybe that vixen had been planning for that to happen from the start! That was why she requested for her to serve tea! Hmph… Does she think I am going to be defeated by such a small matter? Definitely not!
If she had to serve tea, then she would serve tea. No matter what, she would continue to live in this city and be close to Brother Lei every day!
After making up her mind, she was even more motivated by her loss. Brother Lei would definitely be very touched after seeing that she had sacrificed so much for him. As such, she would have to serve that vixen tea well so that she could show what a horrible bully she was. Between the two of them, Brother Lei should know who is good and who is bad!
Gu Lin indulged in her idle thoughts. Seeing that Xia Ling did not accept the cup of tea, she urged her again. “Quickly!”
Xia Ling feigned a smile. “Is this your attitude when you are apologizing and serving someone tea?” Xia Ling was dressed in a white dress with long feathers and silver accessories in her hair like that day. As she had not entered the water to start shooting and was still waiting, her thin shoulders were covered with a soft red wool blanket which made her look elegant and gorgeous. Her composure caused her to seem noble and mysterious.
In contrast, Gu Lin was not bad looking, but her appearance was ruined by her disgruntled expression. In front of Xia Ling, she looked like a crude servant girl.
As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she was really embarrassed.
Director Qian Yong of the Gu Financial Magnate shook his head and could not bear to continue watching as he felt that he was being completely humiliated by his company’s Gu Lin.
However, Gu Lin still did not have a clue. “Ye Xingling, don’t get too ahead of yourself. I’m already personally serving you tea, how dare you not accept it?!”
“Why should I accept it?” Xia Ling’s lips curved into a smug smile. She lightly tilted her head and shot Wei Wei a look.
Seeing what she meant, Wei Wei walked up and said warmly to Gu Lin. “Miss Gu, give me the tea instead.”
Gu Lin felt better dealing with this lady than Xia Ling. Without thinking too much, she directly gave the tea to Wei Wei. After that, she relaxed her hands and looked at Xia Ling arrogantly. “Besides, I have already served you tea. I don’t care whether you drink it or not. Anyway, your little assistant is smarter than you.”
Xia Ling shot her a mocking look. Did she not realize that she had just greatly embarrassed herself?
At the side, Qian Yong could not look at her directly.
Even the head director could not help but mutter to the cameraman beside him. “Don’t you think that the eldest daughter of the Gu family is really dumb?”
The cameraman shook his head and said, “The wealth of a family cannot last longer than three generations.” The third generation was really made of good-for-nothings.
“I need three more generations before I can be part of the aristocracy.” The head director disagreed, looked at Gu Lin, and sneered softly. “However, I don’t think the Gu family can raise any more aristocrats. This unruly daughter’s etiquette classes have probably been wasted. She’s worse than a commoner like the small star Ye Xingling.”
“Looks like the training in Skyart Entertainment is better than the one in the Gu Family.”
At once, a few people sighed.
Seeing that everyone was whispering to one another and looking at her with disdain, Gu Lin finally realized that something was wrong and loudly questioned a staff member next to her. “What are you whispering to one another?!”
The staff member was afraid that Miss Gu was finding fault with him and did not want to stir trouble for himself. He lowered his head and said, “Nothing much. Lighting engineer—” An idea occurred to him at this crucial moment as he gazed into the distance. “Wait, I have something to report to you!” After saying that, he immediately ran away.
Gu Lin had a stronger feeling that something was wrong.
She could not help but direct her anger back at Xia Ling. “Hey, I said that your little assistant is better than you. You’re really too pretentious. Since you rejected my tea, doesn’t that mean you never wanted it from the start?”
At that time, Wei Wei had already passed the cup of tea to Xia Ling.
Xia Ling used her fair-skinned hand to take the tea and drank it slowly and gracefully. Although she only had one assistant, her indifference and leisurely stance was like a noble princess who had many servants waiting on her.
Some people who were rightful of high status could cause themselves to look like nouveau riches.
Some people who were of no status were naturally noble.
After Xia Ling lightly drank the tea, she passed the cup back to Wei Wei. Wei Wei carefully took it and returned it back to Gu Lin.
“You aren’t even qualified enough to personally deliver tea to me.” Xia Ling’s voice was always very nice to listen to, and since she had the upper hand now, she was feeling great, so she spoke a little lazily to Gu Lin. “Li Lei said that you attended a girls’ school for nobles. Did your teacher not teach you during etiquette class that when you’re unable to pass something personally to someone of higher status, you have to pass the item to them via their subordinates?”
Gu Lin finally realized what was wrong…
She had never paid attention during etiquette class and had already returned all her knowledge to her teacher!
