She laughed. That was all that Lu Tao wanted.

She glanced at Lu Tao's sparkling eyes and felt her emotions lifting. People in the industry thought that Xia Ling was arrogant and difficult to please. Few understood that she was only picky and arrogant to those that were stupid. To those that truly had a passion for the entertainment business, who were willing to put in the hard work to succeed, she showed respect and admiration for them.

Unfortunately, these types of people were few and far between.

Luckily, this big boy in front of her could count as one of them.

"Xia Ling has an MV called 'The Deadly Ravine'." She lifted her head slightly to look at him, exposing her pretty jawline and a few strands of her hair flowing in the light autumn breeze. "The director used a slow-motion take in there, the movements are very clear."

"Oh, you learned it from Xia Ling's MV." Lu Tao remarked in realization. "No wonder! I never watch her MVs. Her dance is too coquettish, I don't like it... I didn't know she knew how to do the windmill as well." Lu Tao scratched his head, turned and ordered the two boys behind him. "Hey, when you go back later, buy me one of Xia Ling's CDs. I want the one with that song, 'The Deadly Ravine'."

The two boys looked like they were about to cry. "Brother Lu, look at this crowd. How are we going to get out of here?"

Looking around, Lu Tao realized that they had somehow been surrounded. Fans to their left and right were all holding white daisies. Looking up ahead, he was unable to see the end of the crowd. Whether it was moving forward or backward, it was going to be a challenge.

"Damn it." Lu Tao muttered in irritation.

Xia Ling gave a bitter smile. Right, she would not have to worry about making a decision to stay or leave the ceremony now. The crowd around her had already made the decision for her.

The background music faded away and the commemoration ceremony began.

The quality of the Imperial Entertainment events had always been high. It was the same for this commemoration ceremony. The location, setting, music, explanatory remarks, choice of video clips... everything down to the smallest detail was perfect. Even the guests that were invited to attend were specially selected. There were not many of them, but they were all influential people. Other than some big names in the entertainment industry, there were socialites from different businesses and important political figures.

Xia Ling stood amidst the crowd and felt the irony of the situation. Didn't Pei Ziheng think that she was lowly and not good enough to marry him? Why did he pick such influential people to come to attend her commemoration after her death?

She was aware that these people were all here because of Pei Ziheng. They had no ties or relationship with Xia Ling.

In her past life, she had been too high profile and nasty, insulting all that she had come into contact with. If not for the fact that Pei Ziheng was so powerful, she guessed there wouldn't be a soul attending this commemoration. It would be even more surprising if they didn't clap their hands and celebrate.

"Xia Ling had so many friends." Lu Tao commented ironically at this moment, his face full of envy. "See, there are so many influential people. If there was such a party at my death memorial, I would definitely rest in peace."

Xia Ling did not know how to respond.

"You don't want that, boss." One of Lu Tao's sidekicks said with a look of disapproval. "Xia Ling died a terrible death, you don't want that right? I heard that it was horrible, her blood was all over the floor, her brain matter was oozing out..."
