Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

Chapter 290 Banquet

The next evening, Xue and Feiying arrived at Wen Rui's birthday party together in a special car from the Chinese branch of Starry Sky Entertainment.

"This is our invitation."

After taking the invitation handed over by Feiying, the old butler of Wen Rui's family took a look to confirm its authenticity.

"Two distinguished guests from Xingqiong, please come in."

The old butler did not dare to neglect Xue and Feiying at all, and bowed.

"OK, thanks."

As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Wen Rui's father Wen Guohao immediately came to greet him.

"Ms. Qiao Ying, Ms. Qiao Xue, welcome."

Wen Guohao attaches great importance to the two daughters of the group's long-term partners.

"Uncle Wen, long time no see~"

"Greetings, Uncle Wen~"

Whenever she attends a formal party, Xue will subconsciously switch to the young lady mode.

"It's been a long time indeed. It's been almost eight years since I last saw you two little girls. Time flies."

"Yes, it's been eight years, but Uncle Wen, you're still so young~"

"Alright, alright, no one is immortal. By the way, how are your mother, Rina, and Yuu doing lately?"

Back then, it was Youyu who helped Wen Guohao when he was in trouble, which enabled him to establish his own business group.

The two are old friends who call each other brothers.

"They're doing well."

Wen Guohao nodded.

"That's good. I won't bother you anymore. I hope you two have fun at the party."

After Wen Guohao left, Xue and Feiying started walking around the banquet.

After a while, Yu Xian, Corona and Ye Ying arrived late. Xue and Feiying said something and ran to meet the three of them.

"Yu Xian, Nana, Ye Ying~" Hearing Xue's voice, the three of them turned around and were immediately amazed by Xue's appearance.

"So, so beautiful..."

"I agree."

Yu Xian and Corona praised Xue's beauty without hesitation. Ye Ying beside her nodded frantically. She had never seen such a beautiful girl.

"Thanks for the compliment~ You guys are dressed pretty well too~"

After a while, all the guests arrived and our birthday boy Wen Rui appeared. He had prepared well and now looked like a handsome guy.

As if seeing the carefully dressed Yu Xian, Wen Rui on the stage blushed and greeted her with a smile.

Xue, who was standing by, said it was a good idea, of course, in her heart.

"The birthday boy has been dragged out for another toast. Shall we go get something to eat?"

At Yu Xian's suggestion, the four of them came to the table and prepared to eat something.

Seeing the dazzling array of cold dishes on the table, Corona suddenly became excited, while Ye Ying on the side was even more exaggerated, with her eyes shining and drooling.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Corona seemed to notice something and looked away.

The other three followed her gaze and saw a blond man whom all four of them knew.

"Oh? It's that guy Leo..."

"Why is he here?" Corona was very surprised that the man named Leo appeared here.

"Uncle Wen sponsored Supernova, so it's normal for him to invite partners to the party."

"Teacher Leo is here too. Could it be that that person is also..."

For some reason, our little leaf warbler looked around as if looking for someone.

"Since we've met, let's..."

Before Yu Xian could finish his words, Xue walked over first.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Leo."

Hearing someone calling him, the man, whose stage name is Leo and whose real name is Long Haotian, turned around and looked at the super beautiful snow in front of him, a little hesitant.

"You are... Alicia? Why are you here? And your Chinese is so good?"

"I'm of Chinese, Japanese, and French descent. Besides, today's birthday boy is my childhood friend, so isn't it normal for me to be here?"

"I see. I didn't expect you have Chinese blood."

"Huh?" Leo noticed the three girls following behind Xue and showed a surprised expression again.

"Jin Yuxian, Corona, Ye Ying, what are you doing..."

"I'm also a childhood friend of the birthday girl. I brought some friends to celebrate her birthday~"

"Really? You two know each other?"

Leo looked at Yu Xian, then looked at Xue beside him.

"I spent three years in Huaxia during elementary school, and we were good friends."

"That's it..."

"Hello, long time no see. Ye Ying is here too?"

Hearing this gentle voice, Ye Ying's body trembled violently and her face turned red.

A handsome and elegant man, whom Xue remembered as Bai Xiao, walked over, accompanied by an older man.

An uncle that Xue knew, Xinghai's biological father Gu Yichuan, a scumbag who abandoned his family and daughter.

Perhaps it was the connection in their blood, Xinghai and Gu Yichuan's eyes met.

"Who are these four beauties? Xiaobai, please introduce them."

"Okay, these three are the qualifiers from the Supernova East China Division: Corona, Ye Ying, and Jin Yuxian. As for this one..."

Xue greeted Bai Xiao without any need for introduction.

"Uncle Gu, long time no see."

"?" Gu Yichuan was stunned when he heard this.

"Excuse me, are you...?"

"I am Qiao Xue, the second daughter of Xingqiong. Uncle Gu, do you remember me?"

Xue smiled on the surface, but she actually started cursing in her heart, saying, "The scumbag must die."

When he heard Xue's name, Gu Yichuan slapped his head and said, "Why does it look familiar?"

"So it's you, Qiao Xue, kid. Look at my memory."

"That's Jin Yuxian over there, right? When you were little, you, Qiao Xue, and our Xinghai were all good friends."

"Yes, yes."

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You two have become beautiful women. Xinghai is probably this tall now, right?"

"I wonder how she is doing..."

Hearing this, Xinghai's fists stiffened. She wanted to punch this bastard right now.

"...Are you still in contact with her?" Xinghai suddenly became a little nervous, wondering if his disguise would be seen through...

"No, I participated in the audition just to find her. I mentioned that during the audition."

"As you know, I've been in Neon. I just came back a few days ago because of something."

Yu Xian and Xue tacitly concealed Xing Hai's identity.

"Oh, that's how it is…"

Hearing this, Gu Yichuan showed a meaningful smile. It was obvious that he did not believe what the two of them said, especially Yu Xian.

"Xiaobai, take them to eat something."

Just when Corona thought she could finally get away from her hateful scumbag father, Gu Yichuan grabbed her shoulders.

"Would you please stay?"

"..."

Corona was silent. She had realized that her scumbag father had already suspected that she was Gu Xinghai.

Xue, who had already walked a short distance, naturally noticed the situation behind her. If anything went wrong, she would definitely go to help her childhood friend smooth things over as soon as possible.

"..."

While Xue was paying attention to Xinghai and Gu Yichuan, Leo was also paying attention. He also noticed that something was wrong.

As expected, Gu Yichuan began to force Xinghai to drink using the so-called authority of an elder. It was obvious that he wanted to get Xinghai drunk and then extract some information from him.

Xue Ben wanted to stop Gu Yichuan, but someone got there first.

Leo deliberately bumped into Xinghai, spilling the red wine in Xinghai's hand onto his suit, and finally helped Xinghai escape successfully.

Seeing this, Xue's favorability towards Leo increased a bit. He really was the sharp-tongued little prince who spoke his mind and fought against anyone who disagreed...

"Xiaobai! I have something to ask you."

Seeing Xinghai leave with Leo, Gu Yichuan immediately called Bai Xiao away from Ye Ying.

For a moment, our lovely Ye Ying stood there in confusion, asking the three classic questions of life.

who am I?

Where am i?

what should I do?

"Ye Ying~"

Xue noticed Ye Ying who was alone, and had no choice but to go and accompany her.

"Xiaoxue..."

"What's wrong? Are you not used to it?"

Looking at Ye Ying's helpless look, Xue said with concern.

"Um…"

"Then do you want to go for a walk together? Next up is the waltz, and I don't really feel like dancing."

Finally a savior arrived, and Ye Ying nodded repeatedly.

But before leaving, our little Ye Ying still glanced at Bai Xiao who was with Gu Yichuan not far away.

……

After borrowing a violin from the old housekeeper of the Wen family, Xue brought Ye Ying to the outside of the banquet venue.

After quickly adjusting the violin with the help of her absolute pitch, Xue clamped the violin and placed the bow on it.

Under Ye Ying's extremely surprised gaze, a song "Beethoven Virus" danced freely in Xue's hands.

Perhaps because they were not far away, Leo and Corona, who came out earlier, also followed the sound.

"Na..."

"Shh~"

Seeing Corona and Leo coming over, Ye Ying wanted to call their names, but she was immediately stopped by them.

Soon, the song ended, Xue opened her half-closed eyes, and smiled at the two people walking towards her.

"It's embarrassing."

"No, no, Xiaoxue, you are really amazing..."

Ye Ying quickly denied it, saying that she had never heard such beautiful violin music before, or rather, she had basically never heard any violin music before.

"So you can also play the violin?"

"I know a little bit, but I think it's still far behind my piano skills."

"You call this a little knowledge?"

Leo was speechless. "Here? Can you please stop being so pedantic?"

"By the way, the piece you just played, Xiaoxue, is a bit like the third movement Rondo of Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata No. 8 for Piano."

"Because it's based on that, I call it the Beethoven Virus."

"Beethoven Virus? Beethoven Virus?"

Everyone present here speaks English very well.

"That's right. After all, if you listen to it too much, you'll become addicted, just like being poisoned~"

"I see..." The three nodded. If that were the case, the name was indeed very appropriate.

"So, this Beethoven Virus was adapted by you, Alicia?"

"Well... not exactly. The final refinement was done with the help of my distant aunt who is a violinist."

"You should know that person, Leo."

"I know?"

Leo wondered, could it be a particularly famous violinist?

"Miu Tsumate."

Miu Tamate, CHU2's mother, Yuki's distant aunt, and one of the most famous violinists of our time.

"That world-class violinist Miu Tamate is your aunt!?"

Xue's words shocked Leo and Corona for the whole year.

"That's right. How about it? It's unexpected, right~"

“It’s really unexpected…”

"Oh, right!" Xue suddenly remembered something and looked at Leo.

"Leo, I have a new song written in English that's perfect for you. Can we release a joint album together?"

"New song? Interesting."

Leo had no doubt at all about Xue's ability to write lyrics and compose music. After all, she was a true genius who could write high-level music when she was still in junior high school.

"Here's a demo version of me singing along with virtual instruments. Would you like to listen?"

As she spoke, Xue took out her cell phone from somewhere and handed it to Leo.

Leo took out his headphones, plugged them in, and listened carefully. An expression of excitement gradually appeared on his face.

"As expected of you, the level of your music is still as superb as ever."

After listening to it once, Leo was full of praise.

"Well? What do you think?"

"Since you said so, how can I refuse?"

Looking at the two people who had reached some kind of deal in front of them, Corona and Ye Ying on the side were confused.

Are you there? Let us hear it too!

"Ok?"

Corona's phone suddenly rang, and it showed an unknown caller number.

"I'm going to take a call first."

Corona walked to the side, turned her back and answered the phone. Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on her face, no, it should be a look of horror.

Feeling Corona's emotional changes, Xue realized something and felt a headache. It seemed that it was Gu Yichuan's phone call to test Xinghai.

"Nana?"

Xue walked to Corona's side, and Corona's face was full of uneasiness at this time.

"Could it be..."

"Um...Xiaoxue, please help me and Ye Ying explain it to them. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Corona left the spot without looking back.

Looking at Corona who left in a hurry for some unknown reason, Ye Ying, who was not far away, was full of confusion.

And our Leo... our Leo was still savoring the demo written by Xue over and over again, and didn't notice this at all.

"Hmm? Where are the Corona people?"

The music ended again, and Leo looked around before finally realizing that Corona was gone.

"Nana suddenly had something to do, so she left first."

Xue calmly helped Corona make up a reason for leaving, which answered Leo and Ye Ying's doubts.

"That's it..."

Leo didn't suspect anything about this, but we, the sensitive Ye Ying, instinctively felt that something was wrong.

But since her new best friend said so, she didn't say anything.
