Back in Love

Chapter 2 The Beautiful Lola's Back!

Two years later, at an airport,

the man in a black 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 nine later in the evening. I've already prepared for everything. Will

your luggage be sent to the Gu Family or your villa, Mr. Jacob?"

He frowned. "The villa."

"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 was coming back.

"When will my grandma arrive?" Jacob squinted his eyes as the sunlight glared through the high

windows.

"In one week, sir. She'll stay in Switzerland for a week before returning from Australia."

'I can't hide it anymore,' Jacob thought bitterly, shaking his head.

"Go back to the company 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! Lola's so amazing!" one screamed. "I love you, Lola!"

"We wish you more successes!"

"We will love you forever!"

Hearing Lola'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 finally coming 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?"

"Lola 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

company would sign her in but..."

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 planning 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, Lola, 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.

Lola 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 Lola 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.

"Lola! Please don't go back. We can't watch you leave."

Seeing their enthusiasm, Lola placed a hand on her hips, flashing 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 Lola 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 Lola 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.

Lola placed 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 popularity and talent that matter, not your family ties. So, Miss Fiona, if you have any complaints,

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 Lola'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!"

Lola smiled. "It's me. Lola Ming. I'll be singing for the finale."

"When the hell did you come 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 Lola. 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 to compare

yourself with me. You wish you're the last one on that stage! Let's wait and see, bitch." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Fiona didn't even give Lola time to respond when she stomped off, her bright heels clicking across the

tiles.

Lily, Lola's assistant, stared warily at Fiona's retreating figure. "Miss Lola, 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 Lola 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, Lola 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." Lola snorted, walking

away.

At nine o'clock, the event finally began.

Lola had already put on a white lacy dress for the main show. Lily brought her pair of crystal shoes

decorated with real diamonds. "Please put them on, Miss Lola. It's your turn."

Lola 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 she landed onto the stage.

Lola was like a goddess falling from the heavens. However, the moment she stepped onto the platform,

she felt a sharp pain on the soles of her feet. She gritted her teeth before plastering 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?'
