A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

The bodyguard said, “Yes, according to the regulations, a penalty of ten times of a VIP card is required.”

They had just chased after Xia Yingluo and had entered to see the people arguing. This kind of thing happened frequently in the casino. It was always some big show of a woman catching a third party, or someone getting abandoned by their partner. Xia Yingluo was beautiful and petite, and her look of desperation made people feel very distressed. Several security guards and doormen had already reached a tacit understanding between each other and did not intend to punish her. Looking at her state, how could she possibly have the money? However, now that the female gambler had asked, they could only do things according to the rules.

Pei Yan smiled smugly. “Very good. Ten times is fine. Xia Yingluo, take it out.”

Where would she have so much money? When the Li family threw the children out to experience the trial, they were not allowed to bring out even a penny. Even though her mother Xia Ling had felt distressed and had secretly stuffed her with a few thousand yuan, she had already used them up. In the past few months, she had lived in the Imperial Entertainment’s Training Camp on a student bonus. The bonus of a few hundred yuan per month was not even enough to buy a glass of wine in this magnificent casino.

She looked coldly at Pei Yan. “This is my business with the casino. What has it got to do with you?”

Turning around, she said to the doormen and security guards, “Let’s go, let’s go to the security room to deal with this problem.”

Speaking of it, the casino was opened by an uncle she knew. The uncle had a good relationship with her father. If he knew that she was in trouble here, everyone who had provoked her would have to suffer consequences.

However, this was her trial period…

At the thought of this, Xia Yingluo wanted to cry without tears. According to the rules of the family, within two years, they were not allowed to reveal their identity, neither were they allowed to contact any people they had known before. Otherwise, it would be a failure. So many girls in the family had successfully completed the experience, and she was the only daughter of the family’s patriarch, so how could she bring shame to her father?

She had decided to go to the security room and talk logic to the security guards. If need be, she could just stay behind to wash the plates.

Although according to her knowledge of the casino, there was a very slim chance that such a beautiful girl like her would be sent to wash the plates. Most of the time she would have to encounter some dark and ruthless things, like forcing her into prostitution, but she could only take each step and see. There had to be a way out.

She made up her mind and her expression was calm.

The more Pei Yan looked at her beautiful, exquisite face, the more annoyed she got, so she couldn’t help but pick on her further. “You think you can go as and when you want? You not only rushed in but also bumped me, making me very unhappy. How do I know you won’t somehow weasel out with your words once you’re in the security room? No, you must be punished in front of me.”

She said, her pair of gorgeous eyes sweeping past the security guards.

Although the security guards sympathized with the girl, the rules of the casino were based on the wishes of the guests. They had no choice but to say, “Miss, please pay the fines now. If you can’t pay it…”

“If you can’t pay, go to Yin Chun Lane and work for a few days.” Pei Yan interrupted the security guard and smiled maliciously. “I remember that your business in Yin Chun Lane is very good. I was just telling Yixuan that we would go there to see some striptease. If such a beautiful Miss like Yingluo could perform on stage, it would definitely be worth the price… I’ll book the whole venue, and I am welcoming everyone according to the highest specifications, ha.”

The security guards took a breath of cold air. Booking the Yin Chun Lane with the highest specifications was a large sum of money!

You must know that the overnight booking fee could make a common wealthy family go bankrupt!

They looked at Pei Yan suspiciously, wondering if she was just boasting.

Pei Yan covered her mouth and laughed. “Why, you don’t believe me? Do you know who I am? Imperial Entertainment’s Pei Chengyou is my brother.”

It turned out that she was Pei Chengyou’s sister!

The security guards and the gamblers around them all moved and made a commotion. How deeply rooted was the Pei family’s connection, how much money did they have? It was not an exaggeration to say that they had wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation! And Pei Chengyou was rumored to be one of the next successors of Chairman Pei Ziheng and could do whatever he wanted in Imperial Entertainment. His sister could not only book the Yin Chun Lane for the entire night, but she could also even book it for ten nights!

They looked at Zhao Yixuan at the side, who stood still and was speechless. No wonder this man abandoned such a beautiful little girlfriend to suck up to Pei Yan. He was just a manager, but once he married Pei Yan, he could change his future and have some of Imperial Entertainment’s shares. Who couldn’t calculate this benefit?

They could only pity the girl, she was not only abandoned but also picked on.

The security guards exchanged glances.

They had already planned that if Xia Yingluo couldn’t pay the money, they would let her go to the SVIP area as a waiter. The big guys there liked beautiful girls like her, who were all clean and didn’t have a speck of impurity. Letting her go there was the principle of maximizing the benefits of the casino, and it was a good thing for her too—even if she was in danger of being bullied and humiliated, why shouldn’t she take the chance to turn her fate around?

It was a pity that Pei Yan wanted to make her a strip dancer in the Yin Chun Lane. The money that Pei Yan was offering was too much for the few security guards to reject. They must obey the principle of maximizing the interests of the casino. Otherwise, they would be held accountable! They could only blame the little girl for being too unlucky, and for provoking such a vicious female guest.

The security guards made a decision and said to Xia Yingluo, “Come to the Yin Chun Lane with us.”

Xia Yingluo glared at them coldly. “You dare!” Her family was mixed with the underground, so she knew very well that the place must be strictly guarded, and there was no chance of escaping under their strict scrutiny. Once inside, there was really no chance to escape, and she would be finished.

Her small face was tight, and while confronting the security guards, she struggled to think about her escape.

This Pei Yan was really vicious!

Once one more year had passed and she returned to the Li family, she would be sure to punish Pei Yan!

Xia Yingluo cursed and swore in her heart, and she heard Zhou Yixuan say, “Pei Yan, forget it, you have to spare people as the bigger person.”

Although he had decided to get rid of Xia Yingluo, the last of his conscience still existed, and he really couldn’t bear to see the girl he liked suffer from such a vicious hand—you had to know that in all these months being together with her, he had not even touched her, so how could he give her up to the guests in Yin Chun Lane, how could he be willing to do that?

Pei Yan looked at her boyfriend and sneered. “Why, do you feel bad for her?”

“Why would I?” Zhao Yixuan looked at her tenderly. “I just think she’s pitiful. You have such a noble status, why bother with a poor worm like her? Let her go, and everyone will say that you are very generous.”

Pei Yan looked at him deeply, and she smiled in an enchantingly dangerous way. “You are a good person, so why don’t you pay her fine for her?”

Zhao Yixuan’s heart jumped. He didn’t believe that she was so kind and generous that she would let her own man help her enemy out! But what was her purpose in saying this?
