Chapter 32: You’re Sick!
After dinner, Xia Chenge gathered all the servants and bodyguards in the hall, with the Wei En couple standing on either side of her.
Xia Chenge glanced at them, her expression cold, and said, “From now on, all major and minor affairs of the household will be managed by Wei En. If you have any issues, find him to handle them. If you are unwilling to accept the new butler, you can leave the Xia family now!”
“I, Xia Chenge, am not a cruel person. If you do your jobs well, I will not be stingy with rewards.”
“But if you dare to deceive and conceal, and do things that are detrimental, don’t blame me for being impolite. Don’t think that because I am young and don’t understand right from wrong, you can fool me as you please.”
“So, know what should be said and what shouldn’t be said. Alright, my words end here. For the remaining time, get to know each other!”
With that, Xia Chenge turned and went upstairs, giving Wei En enough space to establish his authority.
If you don’t trust someone, don’t use them; if you use them, don’t doubt them. This is her principle!
The next day.
The matter of Xu Jingyun being targeted by Ling Hanmu did not break out. Instead, the news of Xia Minglan being kicked out of the Xia family became a headline, causing a huge uproar.
No one believed that Xia Chenge would dare to treat the aunt who raised her in such a manner.
For a time, there were criticisms of Xia Chenge everywhere:
Has Xia Chenge really gone mad? It’s said that a few days ago in the hospital, she almost choked her aunt and cousin to death. Fortunately, Young Master Ling appeared in time to save them.
This is simply creating karma. It’s said that Xia Chenge’s parents are cousins and married within the family, which is why they gave birth to a daughter like Xia Chenge.
Xia Minglan is truly pitiful. She worked hard to support the Xia family and then suffered such hardship. She endured this humiliation without calling the police for Xia Chenge’s sake.
…
While eating breakfast, Xia Chenge browsed the news and saw these comments attacking her, dismissing them with a smile.
Wei En was a little worried, “Little Miss, how about I find someone to suppress these?”
“No need, why waste money on this?” Xia Chenge shook her head, then beckoned, “Grandpa Wei, come here. How about this…”
Xia Chenge whispered a few words, and Wei En’s eyes immediately lit up, nodding repeatedly, “Good, good, good, I’ll do it right away!”
After speaking, Wei En hurried away.
Xia Chenge smiled. Xia Minglan had played the victim first, trying to use the media to suppress her with this incident? She had miscalculated!
She would make Xia Minglan understand what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on her own feet!
The servants in the house saw the smile on Xia Chenge’s face and shivered, always feeling that someone was about to have bad luck.
—
Xia Chenge did not see Ling Hanmu all day today.
Her ears suddenly became quiet, and she felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Because of Ling Hanmu, her classmates now intentionally or unintentionally avoided her, lest they accidentally offend her and incur Ling Hanmu’s wrath.
Xia Chenge was used to being alone and didn’t care whether these classmates wanted to be friends with her.
During the last self-study class in the afternoon, Xia Chenge chose to go to the library.
As soon as she sat down with a book she was interested in, the students next to her scattered like birds and beasts.
Xia Chenge glanced at them from the corner of her eye and then lowered her head to read.
After finishing the third book, someone sat down next to her.
“Ouch!” In the next moment, that person cried out in surprise, leaning entirely onto her, and at the same time, the drink in her hand was poured onto her.
A petty trick! Xia Chenge shifted, moving to the edge of the chair, perfectly dodging the spilled drink.
Bang!
“Ah…”
A pained scream and the sound of someone falling simultaneously rang out abruptly in the quiet library, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
The colorful drink was entirely spilled on the instigator, dyeing her white dress exceptionally vibrantly.
Xia Chenge remained unmoved, as if nothing had happened, completely undisturbed, still looking down at her book.
“Wu Li!” Her companion shouted, quickly running over and hastily trying to help her up. Xia Chenge subtly moved her hands and feet, and those people all fell down at the same time, landing on Wu Li, screaming in pain.
“What happened?” The librarian rushed over upon hearing the noise. Seeing several girls fallen in one spot, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately stepped forward to help them up.
After Wu Li got up, she pointed at Xia Chenge and angrily said, “Xia Chenge, why did you trip me?”
Xia Chenge’s eyebrows slightly raised. Are such idiotic schemes popular now? She remained indifferent, still looking down at her book.
“Xia Chenge!” Wu Li, enduring the pain, walked up to Xia Chenge, “Don’t think you can cover up your malicious behavior by playing deaf and mute here. I have no enmity with you, yet you harmed me like this. You are a vicious girl.”
“Yes, Xia Chenge must have tripped Lily, otherwise why would she have moved away?”
“Xia Chenge, apologize immediately!”
…
These people tried their best to get Ling Hanmu to even glance at them. Xia Chenge, being doted on by Ling Hanmu, naturally made them extremely jealous. Their unfulfilled anger was all vented onto Xia Chenge.
Ling Hanmu wasn’t at school today, so how could they miss the opportunity to prank Xia Chenge?
The librarian, hearing this, had a splitting headache.
“Xia Chenge, are you deaf?” Wu Li, seeing that Xia Chenge was ignoring her, snatched the book from Xia Chenge’s hands and threw it away, “I told you to apologize, do you hear me?”
“This vicious girl, she tripped me and injured me. Do you think it’s over just like that?”
Xia Chenge slowly looked up at Wu Li, her gaze calm.
Wu Li’s heart sank under Xia Chenge’s gaze, and she involuntarily stiffened.
“I didn’t!” Xia Chenge said word by word.
Wu Li came back to her senses and sneered, “Still trying to argue? I just walked over here wanting to sit down, and you stomped on my foot and tripped me, causing me to fall.”
“Everyone, look, is there a footprint on my shoe?”
Wu Li said, taking off her shoe. Indeed, there was a dark mark on the surface of the shoe.
There was surveillance video in the library, but who could see what happened under the table?
“Xia Chenge, you plastic surgery freak, you’re truly vicious.”
“Someone who can drive her own aunt and cousin out of the house, can she be a kind person?”
“She’s a green tea scheming bitch, always pretending to be weak to gain Young Master Ling’s pity. Utterly disgusting!”
Even though she had done nothing, she had become the heinous, vicious female supporting character in everyone’s eyes. Xia Chenge had truly witnessed what it meant to be jealous!
“I said, I didn’t,” Xia Chenge emphasized in a deep voice, a chill emanating from her.
“You did. Would I stomp on myself? Xia Chenge, if you’re sick, fine, but don’t think everyone else is sick like you,” Wu Li sneered.
“Yes, you are sick,” Xia Chenge said word by word, at the same time taking off her own shoe and holding it up for everyone to see, “My shoe is very clean, so how could I have stepped on your shoe to leave a footprint?”
As Xia Chenge said, the sole of her shoe was spotless, with no dust at all. How could she have left a footprint on Wu Li’s shoe?
