Chapter 2 The Beautiful L''s Back!
Two yearster, at an airport,
the man in a ck suit briskly walked out of exit T4. He had a clear face and a sharp nose. A single
smile threading across his lips was enough to turn the world upside down.
"Mr. Jacob, you''re finally back!"
Barry Lu took his luggage and gazed at him happily.
He nodded stiffly.
"There will be a charity banquet at ner in the evening. I''ve already prepared for everything. Will
your luggage be sent to the Gu Family or your vi, Mr. Jacob?"
He frowned. "The vi."
"You got it, sir."
Ever since Jacob moved out of the Gu Family two years ago, he had never gone back. However, this
time was different.
Someone wasing back.
"When will my grandma arrive?" Jacob squinted his eyes as the sunlight red through the high
windows.
"In one week, sir. She''ll stay in Switzend for a week before returning from Australia."
''I can''t hide it anymore,'' Jacob thought bitterly, shaking his head.
"Go back to thepany first before attending the charity banquet."
"Yes, sir."
Just as Jacob and Barry Lu walked out of the airport gates to get onto their car, a cheer erupted from
the crowd behind them. The entire airport was thrown into chaos as people rushed towards one of the
opening gates. Chatter exploded from the crowd.
"Wow! L''s so amazing!" one screamed. "I love you, L!"
"We wish you more sesses!"
"We will love you forever!"
Hearing L''s name, Jacob couldn''t help but let his thoughts drift to one person. He shook his head,
coughing. "What''s happening?" he demanded.
Barry Lu craned his head. "You don''t know? She''s a famous star, and she''s finallying back to her
hometown. It''s the first time since she''s been back from abroad, and the entire airport''s paralyzed."
Jacob pursed his lips. "Who the hell are you talking about?"
"L Ming! The superstar. She made a name for herself when she went abroad. In fact, I''ve heard she
won numerous awards in the first year alone. When she was under twenty years old, her records had
topped the charts worldwide. She surprises her fans more and more each year. I don''t know which
Knowing where Barry Lu was getting at, Jacob sneered. "Don''t even think about signing her. The
woman would likely lose our investment in a dot."
Having been in the entertainment business for years, Barry Lu knew a thing or two on what people
liked. He was actually nning on signing a contract with her, but after knowing Jacob''s thoughts about
the proposal, he shrugged.
"It''s your call, sir."
Without saying any more, Jacob got into the car.
At the same time, L, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked up to see a familiar figure passing
by. Her eyes widened momentarily. It was him!
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
It was fine. It wasn''t as if he knew who she was.
L restrained herself and smiled brightly at the crowd. Her bright face was enough to cause a cheer
from her fans.
Even if Jacob did recognize her, it wouldn''t matter. They were over, and she didn''t like him anymore.
She was L Ming, a star who had lived under the spotlight with countless fans and numerous awards.

She was no longer the girl who relied on the Gu Family.
"L! Please don''t go back. We can''t watch you leave."
Seeing their enthusiasm, L ced a hand on her hips, shing a grin at the crowd. "Of course not.
This is my home, and it''s time I finally return."
At seven o''clock in the evening, at the site of the SH Event.
The SH Event was a prestigious event, and it was the first thing L needed to attend after returning
home. She especially came early to rehearse the songs she was about to sing. However, a certain
acquaintance interrupted her proposal.
"Who the hell is L Ming? Who let you on that stage! I''m the one who''s supposed to sing on the
grand finale of tonight''s event! Me! Fiona Gu! Who the hell do you think you are?" Although Fiona Gu
looked gorgeous, her face was scarred with disgust and contempt for the woman on the stage.
L ced a hand on her hips as she walked over to Fiona Gu, staring her down condescendingly.
"Even if you''re the daughter of the Gu Family, do you think I care? In the entertainment business, it''s
your poprity and talent that matter, not your family ties. So, Miss Fiona, if you have anyints,
then you can go talk to the organizers. No one should suffer listening to you for too long."
Fiona Gu''s face turned red. It was not until she got closer was she able to see L''s face much clearly.
Although Fiona''d seen her face on the magazines in the past, it was only then when she finally
recognized her.
"You''re..." She blinked. "It''s you!"
L smiled. "It''s me. L Ming. I''ll be singing for the finale."
"When the hell did youe back and now, you''ve decided to change your identity? You really are
something!" Fiona sneered.
Back then, Louisa had just been a timid girl from the Gu family. Now, she had the nerve of speaking to
Fiona in that manner!
"My name''s L. Is there a problem? I think you''ve greatly misunderstood me." It was her turn to
sneer. "All my life, I''ve relied on my own determination and talent to help me soar through the ranks.
Not everyone has a good backer like you, Miss Fiona."
"You!" Fiona gaped. "How dare you to think you can look down on me! You''ll never be able topare
yourself with me. You wish you''re thest one on that stage! Let''s wait and see, bitch."
Fiona didn''t even give L time to respond when she stomped off, her bright heels clicking across the
tiles.
Lily, L''s assistant, stared warily at Fiona''s retreating figure. "Miss L, I don''t think it''s a good idea to
piss her off like that." She sighed. "You''ve just offended the daughter of the Gu Family. They''re one of
the biggest families in the country."
Of course L knew that!
The Gu Family''s industrial chain included a coal mine, jewelry, supermarkets, tourism sectors, hotels,
and so forth. They were omnipotent when it came to the business sector. Even when it came to the
entertainment business, they also had connections.
Then again, L already offended Jacob, so how could Fiona make her situation more dangerous?
"If you''re that afraid of the Gu Family, then you might as well ask her to hire you." L snorted, walking
away.
At nine o''clock, the event finally began.
L had already put on a whitecy dress for the main show. Lily brought her pair of crystal shoes
decorated with real diamonds. "Please put them on, Miss L. It''s your turn."
L nodded, putting on her shoes as she waited for the wire stunt to descend. Under the flickering
light, mist poured into the stage as a ‘fairy’ floated across the stage.
The spectators were so immersed by her beauty as shended onto the stage.
L was like a goddess falling from the heavens. However, the moment she stepped onto the tform,
she felt a sharp pain on the soles of her feet. She gritted her teeth before stering a smile on her
face.
The light and music were already ready.
Right now, she had no way back.
She stepped forward.
No matter how many hurdles were ahead of her, she was prepared to jump over them.
She didn''t notice that there was a person sitting among the audience with his eyes wide open as he
gaped at the ''fairy'' on the stage. His jaw dropped.
''Louisa Gu?
What the hell?
Why is she here?''
