Chapter 17: Please Let Me Go
“You’re spouting nonsense!”
Xia Chenge forcefully pushed her to the dining table and forced her to kneel.
The porridge on the floor was still steaming and emitting a fragrant aroma.
Xia Minglan cursed, “If you don’t let go, I really won’t be polite to you anymore. Do you really think a child like you can do anything? Don’t forget those two old undying ones, I don’t believe you can still protect them!”
“Just try it and see if I can protect them,” Xia Chenge snorted coldly. “Stop with the nonsense. Since your daughter is still a child, then you and your daughter’s misdeeds will be borne by you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Chenge forcefully pressed Xia Minglan’s head down, her face landing precisely on the porridge on the floor.
Fortunately, the porridge was no longer hot, otherwise Xia Minglan’s face would have been scalded.
Even so, Xia Minglan couldn’t accept being humiliated like this. She cursed Xia Chenge with extreme malice, “You little slut, may you die a horrible death, a little slut who will be ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand men sooner or later, I will absolutely not let you go… mmm mmm mmm…”
The rest of her words were drowned out by the mmm mmm mmm sounds. Xia Chenge made her eat the porridge on the floor, and she had to eat it; there was no chance to escape!
Xu Jingyun, who was on the sofa, saw this scene, her face turned pale, and she trembled.
Because of her struggles, Xia Minglan was covered in porridge from head to toe, her exquisite makeup completely smudged. She looked utterly disheveled and pathetic.
Finally, Xia Minglan couldn’t take it anymore and begged for mercy, “Let me go, please let me go, I’ll move out of the Xia family immediately, please let me go, sob sob sob…”
“You said it yourself, don’t say I forced you later. Guests should know their place; staying too long at a host’s house is really annoying…” Xia Chenge lazily released Xia Minglan and said unhurriedly.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xia Minglan’s eyes. The moment she stood up, she picked up a shard of porcelain from the floor, turned, and fiercely stabbed at Xia Chenge’s arm.
“Waste, die!” Xia Minglan shrieked hysterically.
Xia Chenge didn’t even bat an eyelid. She sidestepped, easily avoiding Xia Minglan’s attack, and with a backhand, struck Xia Minglan’s wrist with a palm chop.
Xia Minglan cried out in pain, the shard of porcelain falling from her hand. She stumbled back several steps.
Xia Minglan looked at Xia Chenge, whose expression was chilling, with terror. Her heart sank to the bottom: It’s over, I’ve truly enraged this lunatic this time. Will I even make it out of the Xia family alive?
“Scram…” Just as Xia Minglan and her daughter thought their death was imminent and prepared to drag Xia Chenge down with them, Xia Chenge’s gaze, filled with icy malice, fixed on her, pointing towards the door.
The mother and daughter were somewhat disbelieving that Xia Chenge would just let them go.
“If I had to ask you to leave, it wouldn’t be as simple as just throwing you onto the sofa!” Xia Chenge turned to look at the servants hiding nearby. “You, immediately pack the luggage for Madam Xu and Miss Xu, and have the driver send them back to the Xu family. If they are still here when I return this afternoon, you will be finished!”
“Also, they can only take their clothes and their jewelry. If they take anything that doesn’t belong to them… if anything is missing from the house, I will hold you accountable.”
After Xia Chenge gave her stern orders, she looked coldly at Xia Minglan and her daughter again, sneering, “My dear aunt, don’t be greedy, or you will regret it!”
Xia Minglan dared not speak out of anger and could only swallow her resentment. She secretly vowed that she would make Xia Chenge pay back tenfold for this, or she would not be human…
Xia Chenge leisurely picked up her schoolbag and swaggered past the mother and daughter.
They were shocked and fearful, but no longer dared to say anything.
Thinking back to the scene where she had just taught Xia Minglan and her daughter a lesson, she wondered if it was the residual emotions of the original owner, but she felt a sense of catharsis and great satisfaction.
Actually, for Xia Chenge, tormenting scum like this was not much of an achievement. She had already dealt with more formidable people, so weaklings like Xia Minglan and her daughter were not worth her happiness.
Just then, her mobile phone’s ringing interrupted Xia Chenge’s thoughts.
Xia Chenge frowned slightly when she saw the caller ID, pretending not to see it and letting the phone ring until it automatically hung up. However, this call had the rhythm of them calling until her phone exploded if she didn’t answer.
Xia Chenge had no choice but to answer.
“What is it?” she asked coldly to the person on the other end of the phone.
“Turn around and look behind you.” Ling Hanmu’s pleasant voice came through, showing no displeasure at Xia Chenge’s coldness.
Hearing this, Xia Chenge turned her head and saw Ling Hanmu leaning out of his sports car. Seeing her turn, he waved.
“What a coincidence, little brother. I didn’t expect to see you so early. Get in, it’s fate that we met. I’ll give you a ride to school.” Ling Hanmu hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator, caught up to Xia Chenge, and stopped beside her.
Xia Chenge… Why is this guy so idle?
“No need.” Xia Chenge directly refused him, hoping Ling Hanmu would maintain his young master’s demeanor and leave in a huff after being rejected, never looking at her again!
“Little brother, do you dislike me?” Ling Hanmu looked at her pitifully, his injured expression resembling a lost kitten.
This shameless person, is this really the Ling Young Master who makes everyone in Haicheng’s complexion change?
“Yes, I dislike you very much.” Xia Chenge was not at all tactful.
Ling Hanmu looked even more wronged. “Why? I’m so lovable, and you still dislike me?”
“You are different from the rumors. I don’t like people who are two-faced.” Xia Chenge said.
“How am I two-faced? I am Ling Hanmu from the inside out, just as you see me.”
“You have two faces, one in front of people and one behind their backs.”
“Do I need to hide anything from you? You’re the one who saw my body. Do you think I’ve forgotten to hold you responsible after all these years?” Ling Hanmu stared at her, his expression serious.
Xia Chenge almost laughed in anger. Is this the Ling family’s Young Master? He’s a scoundrel!
“Responsible? By marrying me with your Ling family?” Xia Chenge scoffed.
“Good suggestion!” Ling Hanmu snapped his fingers and actually began to enthusiastically discuss the feasibility of this matter with Xia Chenge. “Then let’s get married first, and you’ll be the Young Madam of the Ling family. No one will dare to bully you at school or at the Xia family. It’s actually quite good…”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Xia Chenge couldn’t help but interrupt him as he spoke more and more outrageously. “What exactly do you want?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I want to back you up!” Ling Hanmu said seriously.
Xia Chenge… Is there no end to this? Is it tiring to keep testing each other like this?
“I thank you, but it’s better if you stay away from me.” Xia Chenge said irritably, then walked straight ahead, no longer wanting to deal with Ling Hanmu.
Ling Hanmu drove slowly behind her. “Little brother, it’s very immoral of you to cross the river and then tear down the bridge.”
