The Amnesiac Drama Queen Is Crashing the Live Stream - Chapter 19

Several sleek, perfectly streamlined sports cars roared in from the distance, eventually coming to a halt deep within the heart of Qinglan Mountain, nestled in the Ten-Mile Blossom Resort.

This business resort, located in the eastern district of Yuncheng, is set against a backdrop of mountains and water, a comprehensive leisure and economic zone that blends vacation relaxation with business meetings.

Inside, there are extensive private leisure and entertainment areas rarely open to the public, as well as a seven-star hotel frequently used for hosting various business conferences.

For others, the membership system here poses a significant barrier, but for Yu Feifei, entry is effortless.

Developed and built by her family years ago, the resort is highly favored by the wealthy second generation.

Yu Feifei’s car, leading the pack, came to a stop. She glanced at the scheduled time, still a few minutes to go, and felt no rush.

Thanks to her family background and current profession, she is highly regarded within Yuncheng’s wealthy second-generation circles. She has long grown accustomed to such scenes, her soft and radiant face adorned with a charming smile, red lips slightly curved as she calmly accepted the praises from those around her.

It wasn’t until a sudden gust of wind swept by that a spark of light ignited in her eyes.

A fiery red Bugatti sped over from afar, executed a graceful turn, and, accompanied by the screech of tires against the pavement, slowly rolled down its window to reveal an exquisitely beautiful face.

Xia Xingtang wore a pure white knit sweater, its loose collar slipping down one side to reveal a stretch of smooth, fair skin and delicate collarbone on her left shoulder.

The wind from outside the window tousled her black hair slightly. As she brushed the strands aside with her fingertips, a pair of captivating peach-blossom eyes came into view.

There was no denying it, her best friend was nothing like that workaholic at home.

As soon as she saw Xia Xingtang, Yu Feifei stepped up to the car window, pretending to chat while giving Xia Xingtang ample time to change into her high heels.

Once the car door opened, Yu Feifei showered Xia Xingtang with effusive praise, not only complimenting her outfit and accessories but even noticing the new perfume she was wearing.

Some of the artists from Yu Feifei’s company and the wealthy second-generation individuals who weren’t yet familiar with Xia Xingtang grew more enthusiastic, influenced by Yu Feifei’s attitude.

Flattered and feeling a bit lightheaded, Xia Xingtang quickly forgot about her recent displeasure with Pei Luoqing.

Ever since Pei Luoqing had inexplicably stopped giving her allowance and started ignoring her for days, treating her like thin air, Xia Xingtang’s dissatisfaction had reached its peak.

She felt as though she had overlooked something, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Still, Xia Xingtang refused to let it affect her. She continued to eat, play, and enjoy herself as usual, even deliberately taking numerous photos during her outings, specifically choosing moments when she was with attractive people.

She casually arranged nine of them into a grid and posted it on her social media, visible only to a certain someone.

Her little scheme was laid out plain and clear.

Yu Feifei naturally linked arms with Xia Xingtang and reminded her, “Little Star, since you’ve lost your memory, I’ll arrange for a few average drivers to race with you on the track later. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Xia Xingtang replied dismissively, “Got it, got it. Little Feifei, you’ve invited so many people today, you should worry about whether you’ll get secretly photographed.”

“Secretly photographed?” Yu Feifei said without a care. “Even if someone takes pictures, do you think they’d dare to post them?”

Xia Xingtang scoffed, “Wretched capitalist.”

“Aren’t you one too?”

Meanwhile, at the neighboring Sci-Tech Business Exchange Summit, Pei Luoqing’s attendance left the organizers both flattered and astonished.

Yunji stood at the pinnacle of the industry, and with Pei Luoqing’s keen insight into capital markets and industry trends, she had already taken on several promising projects.

Gradually, her attention drifted away from the summit.

A slight change in her expression was immediately noticed: “President Pei, would you like to take a stroll outside? The scenery in this resort area is quite lovely, and there’s even a horse ranch and a racetrack. If you’re interested, you could take a look?”

Post-summit banquets were customary, and with the event held at this resort, similar gatherings were inevitable.

After Pei Luoqing nodded, several executives enthusiastically began introducing the scenic area.

Pei Luoqing wasn’t particularly fond of sports like golf and directly declined their suggestions. A group of CEOs followed behind her as they crossed the neatly trimmed lawn, chatting as they walked.

The grass was meticulously maintained, a pleasing sight to behold.

Such a prime opportunity naturally attracted those seeking to make connections.

A tall, slender man in a tailored suit took a glass of wine from a nearby server: “President Pei, you’re truly accomplished at such a young age. We’ve greatly benefited from your expertise in this project.”

Pei Luoqing’s expression remained indifferent as she declined the wine offered by the server: “I don’t need it.”

No one found her refusal inappropriate.

Undeterred, the man downed his glass in one go. His narrow eyes gleamed shrewdly: “President Pei’s capabilities are well-known in the industry. I have a daughter who just graduated from university and is new to society, she could use some guidance.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a petite, charming girl in a delicate pink dress stepped forward, her voice soft and sweet: “Hello, President Pei. I’m Zhang Yimin.”

Zhang Yong continued his pitch: “My daughter has always been outstanding, but the world can be harsh. We’re worried she might struggle, so I thought it’d be good for her to gain some experience under your guidance.”

Zhang Yong maintained a cheerful demeanor, but his mind was busy calculating.

Although no one dared mention it openly, everyone knew about Pei Luoqing’s marriage alliance with the Xia family, and that the second daughter of the Xia family was rarely ever home.

In such business marriages, even if both parties led separate lives behind the scenes, public appearances with one’s spouse were customary. Yet, Pei Luoqing’s pair couldn’t even be bothered to pretend.

Zhang Yong believed he had built a rapport with Pei Luoqing over the years. When the Pei family first encountered trouble, he hadn’t thought much of this inexperienced young woman and had maintained close ties with Pei Ziyun instead.

But to everyone’s surprise, Pei Luoqing proved to be remarkably capable, consolidating power and steering the company to new heights within just a few years. Even though he had secured a partnership with the Pei Group, he wanted an extra layer of insurance.

After all, the daughter he brought was only an illegitimate child. Sacrificing one daughter for wealth and status was a small price to pay.

Besides him, other suited CEOs also had young protégés in tow.

These were all seasoned foxes of the business world, and Pei Luoqing saw right through their intentions.

Whether it was the young men or women following behind, she had no interest in any of them.

Though they were all quite attractive, in the entire city of Yun, who could possibly rival the elegance and beauty of the one waiting for her at home?

The refined demeanor cultivated from a life of privilege was enough to leave these people far behind.

Thinking of Xia Xingtang, the coldness in Pei Luoqing’s expression softened slightly, revealing a touch of warmth.

Unaware of Pei Luoqing’s thoughts, Zhang Yong misinterpreted her softened expression as approval of his efforts.

He grew even more enthusiastic: “Our Minmin has been pampered since childhood. If she makes any mistakes, please do guide her, President Pei.”

After speaking, she gave her daughter a slight push. Zhang Yimin blinked her large, round eyes: “When I was in college, I always heard about my senior’s past achievements and greatly admired you. I will work hard in the future.”

Pei Luoying remained silent, as if she hadn’t heard a word.

An awkward tension hung in the air.

A middle-aged woman nearby tried to ease the situation: “It seems the racetrack is just ahead with quite a crowd. I heard the Yu family’s young princess is hosting a party there today. Why don’t you, younger ones go and have some fun?”

The few people gathered behind Pei Luoying, including Zhang Yimin, exchanged uncertain glances. But since their elders hadn’t given permission, none dared to leave without approval.

Unexpectedly, Pei Luoying lifted her gaze and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

The people around her immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

On the racetrack, several sports cars sped by, their engines roaring and tearing through the sky. From a distance, only their vague outlines were visible.

After a few laps, as they drew closer, the wind kicked up by the speeding cars swept across the edge of the track. A fiery red sports car crossed the finish line first.

The door of the red Bugatti opened, revealing a fair shoulder and long, slender legs. The sunlight poured down, enveloping her entire figure in a radiant glow.

Soon, a group of young men and women swarmed around her, some eagerly offering water and towels, others showering her with flattering compliments. In an instant, she became the center of attention.

A girl nearby couldn’t help but exclaim, “Miss Yu truly lives up to her reputation as a superstar. Her presence is just different.”

“Exactly, even the movies don’t capture her vitality like this.”

Though the distance had made things somewhat blurry, the commotion suddenly brought the figure into sharp focus for Pei Luoying.

The features were the ones she knew well, yet they lacked the softness and obedience she had grown accustomed to during their three years of marriage, nor did they carry the lively charm she had seen in recent days.

The young woman’s eyes sparkled with emotion, and a confident smile graced her lips, making her features appear even more striking and enchanting.

This version of Xia Xingtang felt somewhat unfamiliar to Pei Luoying. No, perhaps not entirely unfamiliar, it was a side of her that others often spoke of, but one she had never witnessed firsthand.

Wherever she went, she was the center of attention, as if even the sun couldn’t resist orbiting around her, casting its light upon her.

Now, catching sight of her so unexpectedly, Pei Luoying found her gaze involuntarily following that figure.

“Does anyone want to go and have some fun?” someone suggested, glancing back at the group.

“I wouldn’t dare play with something so dangerous,” Zhang Yimin seized the opportunity to voice her thoughts, trying to gauge Pei Luoying’s feelings. “I’ve heard that the second young lady of the Xia family is arrogant and self-centered, always staying out late. But don’t worry, President Pei, I’m very well-behaved.”

Her delicate gaze seemed on the verge of tears.

As Zhang Yimin stared at Pei Luoying’s profile, her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, and the desire in her eyes grew even more intense.

Yet, in the next moment, her fiercely pounding heart plummeted into an icy abyss, and her rosy cheeks instantly lost all color.

Pei Luoying merely turned her head indifferently, her tone as calm as if she were discussing the weather: “How could you ever compare to her?”

As these words fell, Zhang Yimin staggered half a step backward, her face deathly pale.

This brief episode was quickly overshadowed by other voices: “Wait, that woman, she doesn’t look like she’s from the Yu family, does she?”

The Yu family’s eldest daughter had grown up showered with adoration, stunningly beautiful, unattainably elegant, and a household-name celebrity. Even if they couldn’t recognize every wealthy heir, there was no way they would mistake Yu Feifei.

They looked back and saw that the younger generation, who had just been praising Yu Feifei, suddenly changed their expressions, their faces full of astonishment.

At that moment, Yu Feifei was standing beside the woman, smiling as she held water for her, tidying her wind-tousled hair, bustling about with evident delight.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, a kaleidoscope of emotions, and a question arose in their minds simultaneously:

Who on earth is that woman?

Xia Xingtang, who had just stepped out of the car, hadn’t experienced such a thrilling rush in a long time. It felt as if every drop of blood in her body had been awakened.

But in such a public setting, to maintain her image, she couldn’t act too exaggeratedly. Instead, she humbly accepted the compliments from others, pretending to be completely at ease.

Being twenty-three was exhausting.

Being a poised beauty in the world of twenty-three was even more exhausting.

Just then, an untimely exclamation broke the silence: “Damn, isn’t that my dad?”

“Oh no, my dad’s here too! Help!”

“Hahaha, don’t you know there’s a summit next door today…” Yu Feifei’s words trailed off as she turned her head.

Noticing several people around her turning away, Xia Xingtang was puzzled and slowly turned her head as well.

The next second, the smile on her lips froze as her gaze met that of Pei Luoqing, who stood at the center of the crowd.

Amidst a group of middle-aged executives in suits, Pei Luoqing, dressed in a white trench coat, stood out strikingly.

Her central position, the respectful demeanor of those around her, and the delicate young woman speaking softly beside her, all painted a clear picture.

Nearby, a few rich heirs who had been caught red-handed were wailing in panic. In those fleeting moments, Xia Xingtang quickly pieced everything together, a cold smile forming on her lips.

“Little Star, calm down,” Yu Feifei tugged at Xia Xingtang’s sleeve. “Don’t get angry just yet. Shouldn’t you go say hello to President Pei first?”

Xia Xingtang lowered her gaze and withdrew her line of sight, acting as if nothing had happened.

“Angry about what? I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll take my leave now.”

Yu Feifei quickly grabbed her arm. “What urgent matter could you possibly have?”

“I just remembered,” Xia Xingtang brushed off Yu Feifei’s hand, a smile curling her lips again, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Today is the anniversary of my late wife’s death. Please don’t delay me from burning paper money for her.”

Yu Feifei: “…”

I can tell, you’re absolutely furious.
