Chapter 109: Don’t Refuse
“What do I need to do?” Xia Minglan looked at him.
“I’ll tell you when the time comes. It’s not the right time yet, but don’t worry, you won’t be wronged for nothing,” Xu Jingyi solemnly assured her. “You are my wife, and seeing you wronged makes me even more upset.”
“I will absolutely not let that little slut Xia Chenge have an easy time!” Xia Minglan said fiercely.
“Things haven’t reached the worst point yet; there’s still room for recovery. Does Xia Chenge think she’s won by doing this?” Xu Jingyi’s expression was sinister. “I will make her regret ever being born.”
“We must tear her into a thousand pieces, otherwise, my hatred will not be appeased!” Xu Jingyun gritted her teeth.
Just as they were contemplating how to get revenge on Xia Chenge, an indecent video of Xu Jingyun was leaked online.
What’s more explosive is that the male lead in each video was not the same person!
Netizens were stunned. Wasn’t this the scandalous information about Xia Chenge from a while ago? It turns out these scandals were real, just that the female lead was misattributed.
So the so-called goddess was actually the one who was promiscuous, sleeping with different men:
Oh my god, my worldview is shattered.
Damn, these men are too much to look at. How desperate is Xu Jingyun to be so indiscriminate?
So Xia Chenge’s negative news was all released by this slut Xu Jingyun. She was the one who owned that scandalous information. This blame-shifting is truly amazing. I feel sorry for Xia Chenge for carrying so many burdens.
This is the real trash. Xu Jingyun is truly Haicheng’s most promiscuous young lady. So disgusting, I wonder how many abortions she’s had.
Get out of Haicheng. Don’t tarnish Haicheng’s reputation.
……
By the time Xu Jingyun discovered these videos, they had already spread all over the internet.
Xu Jingyun went mad. Who filmed and leaked these videos?
Xu Jingyi was so angry that he slapped her twice fiercely, cursing, “Bitch, who told you to film these videos with others? How many times have I told you not to mess around? Now look at this, are you a whore? Never seen a man before? Sleep with every one you meet?”
Xu Jingyun covered her face and wailed, not even having the courage to retort.
Xu Jingyi felt like killing her. Mother and daughter were the same, both troublesome idiots.
They had a winning hand, but they messed it up to the point of no return!
It truly infuriated him.
Xu Jingyi quickly used his connections to suppress the matter, but it was clearly too late. No matter how they tried to block it, everyone had a copy of Xu Jingyun’s indecent videos.
The more he thought about it, the more enraged he became. Finally, he stormed off in anger, unwilling to deal with this mother and daughter anymore.
Once he obtained Sheng Xia Group, he would definitely kick this mother and daughter out, so they wouldn’t drag him down in the future.
Xu Jingyun smashed everything breakable in the house. When Xia Minglan tried to stop her, Xu Jingyun hit her head, causing her to bleed and eventually faint.
Xu Jingyun had lost all reason and completely ignored Xia Minglan.
It was the servants who, fearing a fatality, quickly sent Xia Minglan to the hospital, thus saving her life.
“Xia Chenge, it’s either you die or I die! We are irreconcilable!” Xu Jingyun stopped only after smashing everything she could. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was filled with murderous intent as she roared.

Xia Chenge and Ling Hanmu stayed in the Ling family’s back garden until the birthday banquet ended and the guests dispersed.
Only then did a servant hurry over to ask Ling Hanmu and Xia Chenge to return to the house, saying that Young Madam Ling was looking for Xia Chenge.
“Let’s go, we’ll go see Grandmother together,” Ling Hanmu leaped up, his movements extremely agile.
Xia Chenge was stunned for a moment, then also got up and followed silently behind Ling Hanmu.
Ling Hanmu muttered, “My grandmother looks fierce, but she’s actually very easy to talk to. Don’t be scared. And I can tell that Grandmother seems to like you quite a bit.”
“That’s good,” Xia Chenge replied indifferently.
“When I first found out about my marriage contract with you, only my mother knew. My father and grandmother didn’t know anything about it,” Ling Hanmu explained. He then stopped, turned to look at Xia Chenge, and said earnestly, “Xiao Ge, I know what you’re thinking, but can I ask you not to say it out loud so quickly?”
“Can you at least give me a chance?”
“If within three years, you still can’t accept this matter, then will everything be resolved according to your wishes?”
Xia Chenge looked up, meeting Ling Hanmu’s eyes, which were as bright as obsidian in the night. At that moment, the words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t bring herself to say them.
She had heard many rumors about Ling Hanmu and seen many of his different emotional expressions, but never had he been so serious and anxious as he was now, as if he were desperately trying to grasp something, so stubborn it was heartbreaking.
How long had they known each other? Why would Ling Hanmu fall for her?
Perhaps she was a little different, but not to the extent that he would never forget her at first sight.
“Little Brother, please promise me, okay?” Ling Hanmu reached out and held her shoulders, very forcefully. He was used to getting whatever he wanted, but Xia Chenge was right in front of him, yet he felt a sense of distance, a great fear of losing her.
“I…” Xia Chenge was in a difficult position. She feared that she would make Ling Hanmu more heartbroken in the future.
“Don’t refuse me,” Ling Hanmu gazed at her intently. “Please!”
Xia Chenge remained silent for a long time, so long that Ling Hanmu’s heart sank to the bottom. He slowly let go of Xia Chenge, the discomfort making him somewhat lose control, his eyes slowly turning red.
“Okay, I promise you,” at that moment, Xia Chenge softly uttered those five words.
In that instant, Ling Hanmu’s heart suddenly came alive, and the redness in his eyes disappeared.
Xia Chenge, focused on thinking about the marriage contract, didn’t notice Ling Hanmu’s change at all.
“That’s great, I knew Little Brother wasn’t so heartless,” Ling Hanmu was overjoyed. Three years, he would definitely work hard to win Xia Chenge’s heart and make her fall for him too.
“Let’s go,” Xia Chenge regretted agreeing, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no turning back.
Ling Hanmu eagerly followed Xia Chenge, unable to describe his current mood.
Old Madam Ling, Ling Zhongjing and his wife, and Shu Wan were all present. Seeing Xia Chenge and Ling Hanmu walk in together, all four of them wore knowing smiles.
Xia Chenge politely greeted them one by one.
The more Old Madam Ling looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She patted the seat next to her. “Good girl, come sit by Grandma.”
Xia Chenge sat down with grace and composure.
“Child, how are your grandparents?” Old Madam Ling was exceptionally kind, completely lacking her earlier sternness.
“They are both very well, thank you for your concern, Old Madam Ling,” Xia Chenge replied.
“My dear, why are you still calling me Old Madam? Call me Grandmother, just like Xiao Mu!” Old Madam Ling affectionately patted her head. “We never knew about this marriage contract. You’ve been wronged all these years.”
