Hu Lei felt her head hurt as soon she looked at the person coming towards her. It seemed that her luck was not as good as she thought. She had been living a peaceful and virtuous life. How come she was still being punished?"Hu Lei, what a coincidence. I am glad that I have met you." Bei Gong Jiu spoke in a friendly voice.
Hu Lei looked at her without an expression on her face. Every time this woman appeared before her, she would feel that deep darkness in her become agitated as if it wanted to crash this fake lotus into nothingness.
If she allowed the stirrings of darkness to arise from within, she would probably beat her up thoroughly. She did not like, more than anything, to see people masquerading before her. It would be fine if she pretended elsewhere. However, she dared show her mediocre self and even acted like they were familiar.
When Hu Lei was her normal calm self, she could at least withstand the urge slap the creature in white before her. However, that did not stop the violent urges in her heart. She wanted to see the face of this woman torn into shreds, exposing her real self. Perhaps then she would not appear before herself.
"I see Miss Bei Gong has still not given up on concealing herself with white clothes." Hu Lei said with a lifted brow and a sardonic smile.
She did not want to deal with this woman. However, it would be a shame not to get a little entertainment by throwing an insult or two. After all, not all enemies delivered themselves on a silver platter like this one.
"Why do you always have to behave like this?" Bei Gong Jiu looked at her with hurt, her eyes watering.
Beatrice looked at the strange woman in confusion before turning to Hu Lei in question. As someone who had been raised among men, Beatrice did not know much about womanly tears. Seeing this woman spontaneously tear up was a little…
Hu Lei rolled her eyes and motioned for Beatrice to follow along with the cart filled with their purchases. This type of enemy was too boring to even play with for a minute. If there was no entertainment value, there would be no need to keep talking.
"Hu Lei, about you and my brother…" Bei Gong shouted louder after realising that her opponent was really leaving.
Hu Lei turned and looked at the woman who looked like she was withstanding grievous internal pain.
"Do I know your brother?" She asked in confusion.
Bei Gong Jiu became furious, but she could not express herself because it was a fairly public place. She needed to maintain her image.
"Do you think I will believe your pretence? I know that you know Bei Gong Hai." She said through clenched teeth.
Hu Lei showed a face of sudden realisation.
"Of course, I know that actor. He is going to be in The Queen of Apocalypse after all. I had no idea that he was your brother." She responded.
Bei Gong Jiu could not believe it. How could this person be so difficult to deal with? Before she could speak again, Hu Lei continued.
"I feel terrible that he has been implicated in my matters. Even though I experienced a lot of difficulties in the past, I did abandon my fans after all. My actions have led to a lot of problems. I can only hope that he has not taken this incident to heart. I know people will come to understand that I am still Little Ninja Cat and free your brother from these ridiculous accusations." She said righteously.
Beatrice looked confused by the strange and long speech made by Hu Lei. However, Bei Gong Jiu became pale and looked at her enemy in wonder. Had she discovered something? No, she denied the possibility in her heart.
The violent woman did not belong in Supreme. She was a country b.u.mpkin without any background. There was no way she could understand these matters so easily. There was still a chance.
"I can give you Hai"s number so that you can discuss things slowly." She said with a kind smile, taking out her phone.
"I don"t know what you are suggesting, Miss Bei Gong." Hu Lei said coldly.
"I am just…" She became fl.u.s.tered.
"Are you trying to tarnish my reputation?" Her tone was icy.
Bei Gong Jiu remembered why she had been afraid of this woman in the first place. Her aura could be casual in one moment, and in the next, she would be like an Asura.
"How can you say that? I was only trying to help." She explained, her eyes watering once again.
Hu Lei smiled, but there was something eerie about it.
"If that is the case, then it is fine. I am just on edge. I have been having the strangest feeling that there is someone attacking me. Maybe I am thinking too much. What do you think?" Her smile widened.
"Of course, you are thinking too much." Bei Gong Jiu laughed nervously. "No one would go against a treasure author like you."
"Mmmh, I really was thinking too much." Hu Lei laughed cutely. "I am glad we could talk, but I have to go. I must at least try to recover the time I have lost. I will see you around."
With that, Hu Lei waved lightly at the stunned and overwhelmed Bei Gong Jiu before leaving with Beatrice.
"What was that about?" Beatrice asked.
Hu Lei smiled sneakily.
"I was offered a stage. Naturally, I must perform to satisfy the viewers. Was I amazing?" She smiled.
Beatrice did not fully understand, but she nodded.
Hu Lei did not look back or attempt to see what was happening behind her. Instead, she smiled carelessly. Those voyeurs with their cameras were very skilled at hiding. However, they were a thousand years too early to sneak up on her. "They should be satisfied with my performance."
