Chapter 1380: Interception on the Expressway
Xia Yingluo sat silently in the passenger seat.
In fact, she really fainted because she couldn’t take the blow. The wedding angered the World Tree in her belly and it was an attack on the man. She looked at the scenery flowing past outside the car window and suddenly felt that the world was so unreal.
Li Rui hummed a song while driving, and the offbeat singing irritated Xia Yingluo’s eardrum, but she didn’t want to stop him.
But it was Li Rui who gave her a restless look. “You used to say it was awful when I sang last time, why didn’t you tell me that today? It’s a good thing you came back and didn’t die, can’t you be happy and celebrate it?”
“I don’t think there is anything to celebrate.”
So Li Rui stopped singing and asked her, “I heard Wei Lingnan went to the Xia family territory to find you?”
“Yes.”
“You drove him away? Are you more powerful than him now?” Li Rui was interested.
Xia Yingluo said dully. “I scolded him away. If we were to fight, I wouldn’t be able to win.”
“I thought you were awesome at the wedding scene,” Li Rui said. “You made such a big explosion.”
“That was an accident… it was the ability of the World Tree, not my ability. By the way,” she remembered something and asked, “how is the outside world reporting that riot, was there anything unusual?”
“Unusual?” Li Rui gave her a strange look.
Xia Yingluo said, “I remember that I used energy to make a huge cocoon, and wrapped me and Wei Lingnan in it. That kind of energy cocoon is invisible to human eyes. That is, in the eyes of the other guests, I just disappeared out of thin air. They couldn’t be more shocked.”
Li Rui froze. Although he knew that his sister was the queen of a mysterious distant planet, he always had an unrealistic sense when listening to these science fiction stories. At this time, listening to her say this, he asked subconsciously, “It was that cool?”
Xia Yingluo glared at him.
“Okay, I’ll answer your question.” Li Rui saw that she was angry and quickly coaxed her. “Wei Lingnan probably did something with it. All the media, the guests and staff didn’t say anything was abnormal. I guess that man’s ability is big.”
Xia Yingluo was relieved. It was good to be handled well. With Wei Lingnan’s strength, he could really wipe all of this out. Besides, the black technology of “modifying memory” he had used against the Wei family alone could solve the immediate crisis.
That man was not completely useless.
Unconsciously, she remembered him again, and the lonely back in the mountain that day made her heart ache.
Out of nowhere, Li Rui made a sudden brake and she was caught off guard. Her head almost hit the windshield. Suddenly, she was sober and glared at him. “Do you know how to drive?!”
Li Rui innocently motioned her to look ahead.
She saw a car parked sideways on the highway in front of her, just two meters away from them. If Li Rui had not braked in time, he would have already hit it. Xia Yingluo was a little stunned. “Who parked on the freeway? Are they trying to die?”
Li Rui shrugged. “It’s probably some paparazzi that doesn’t want his life.”
It was no secret that she was driven by her brother to go for a spin today. The Li family created the news on purpose, and many reporters had followed them secretly on the road, but the two didn’t care too much.
“You can’t snatch the news like this.” Xia Yingluo was angry.
Li Rui smiled evilly. “Let me get down and lecture him.”
He got out of the car and walked arrogantly to the other BMW car and knocked on the door impatiently. “Hey, come out, didn’t you want to snatch the news? Let me lecture you well, I’ll make sure it goes on the headlines!”
While he talked, the other cars behind him caught up. Generally, they stopped to watch the show. Many reporters came out with cameras and shooting props. “Mr. Li, what happened? I just saw this car running in front of you from a distance. Has an accident happened?”
The sound of shutters sounded everywhere.
“Is Ms. Xia Yi in the car? Is she okay?”
“Ms. Xia, can you get off the car for an interview?”
The scene was chaotic.
Li Rui knocked on the window a little more impatiently. “Hey, come out! I’ll call the police, do you believe me?!” He was a hedonistic son and just his threat alone was imposing and full of murderous intentions. It was obvious he was intent on making a scene.
The door of the car opened as expected.
A woman walked down, wearing a plain shirt, looking pale and haggard. “Li Rui?” She stared at the menacing man in front of her and forced a smile. “You took Xia Yingluo out for a drive, right? Is she in the car, can you let me see her?”
“Gu Jinxiu?” Li Rui didn’t expect it to be this woman and hesitated.
The reporters around went crazy. The grudge between Gu Jinxiu and Xia Yingluo was endless, so what would happen now that they met? “Ms. Gu, did you come to find Ms. Xia Yingluo specifically?” A reporter asked.
“Ms. Gu, how is your marriage with Wei Lingnan? Will it be rescheduled?”
“Ms. Gu, is it true that Xia Yingluo is the third person in your relationship?”
Li Rui turned his head back and stared at the reporter who said Xia Yingluo was a third party.
The reporter was frightened by him and suddenly lost his voice.
Li Rui turned his head and continued to watch Gu Jinxiu. There was a subtle taunt in his tone. “Our Yingluo is of such prestigious identity, how could you see her as and when you want to? Gu Jinxiu, you must know your limits as a person. Last time she went to your wedding to give you face, but who knew that you would be so shameless? You’re from the Gu family and couldn’t even make the guests full, and made Yingluo hypoglycemic.”
Gu Jinxiu was shocked. She didn’t expect him to talk nonsense with his eyes open!
What hypoglycemia, she didn’t believe that Xia Yingluo’s brother Li Rui didn’t know the truth!
She was resentful in her heart, but couldn’t explain it. When she remembered the purpose of stopping them today, she had to endure this tone in silence. She expressed a sobbing expression. “Sorry, I didn’t entertain her well. Li Rui, let me see her. I’ll apologize to her in person.”
“Apologize to Xia Yingluo for such a small thing as hypoglycemia?” The reporter beside her was stunned.
Gu Jinxiu heard it and said to the reporter, “Ms. Xia Yingluo’s family is so good and her popularity is high. She is a treasure held by everyone. Even one finger of hers is more expensive than me, so how could it be a small thing? There was an accident at the wedding and I’m really guilty and sorry. I wanted to go to the house to pay for my sins, but I was too sad. Nan…”
Speaking of him, she bit her lip gently, then pulled out a more sorrowful smile. “Anyway, it’s my fault.”
