Chapter 55: Don’t Keep Making Mistakes
“What are your plans next?” Wei En looked at Xia Chenge eagerly. He hadn’t felt this passionate and excited in a long time, and he couldn’t wait to see Xu Jingyi’s downfall.
“No rush, we’ll play with him slowly,” Xia Chenge smiled like a little devil. “Since he likes to play so much, we’ll play big.”
Wei En trusted Xia Chenge completely. “Okay, I’ll do everything the Little Miss says.”
“You can go down now, I have other things to attend to,” Xia Chenge said.
After Wei En left, Xia Chenge opened her computer and quickly typed on the keyboard. Once ready, she used Tian Zhiguo’s mobile phone to send a message to the person she had just spoken with: I was called away by Wei En. The family has already started preparing for the funeral.
Recipient: Where is Xia Chenge?
Xia Chenge: She’s very unstable emotionally. She’s already lost her temper twice over trivial matters just now.
Recipient: Keep a close eye on her. If there’s any slightest disturbance, remember to tell me. Also, it’s best to find a way to deal with the other one too. The price will be doubled for you.
Xia Chenge: I’m watching her closely now, there’s no opportunity.
Recipient: Handle it as you see fit.
Xia Chenge sent another message, but the recipient no longer responded.
She glanced at the computer and had successfully located the recipient’s position: Ocean Peninsula Hot Spring Resort.
Xia Chenge put down her mobile phone and skillfully hacked into the internal computer system of Ocean Peninsula Hot Spring Resort. Ten minutes later, she obtained the membership list and the list of people who entered and exited today.
Xu Jingyi was clearly on the list.
She had truly pushed him to a corner, making him impatient to get rid of her! He even didn’t hesitate to use his father-in-law and mother-in-law to deal with her. What a monstrous beast.
After finishing all this, Xia Chenge searched for news about herself online.
The scene at the entrance just now had indeed been posted online.
Because Xia Chenge herself had been relentlessly slandering herself, negative news about her had been rampant online during this period.
The name Xia Chenge had transformed from a representative of a useless idiot to Haicheng’s most notorious problem girl.
There were also criticisms of her all over the internet, accusing her of feigning madness and intending to kill, calling her utterly wicked:
I’ve seen wicked women, but never one as venomous as this. She’s clearly the real-life version of the farmer and the snake. Her aunt is also pitiful, raising her for so long only to end up with an ungrateful wretch.
The feuds of noble families are truly more exciting than novels; there’s nothing they can’t do that you can’t imagine. Xia Chenge pretending to be crazy and foolish for so many years must have been difficult. Her schemes run deep. If this were an ancient imperial court, she would surely be the emperor, enduring what ordinary people cannot!
I heard that the two elders of the Xia family have been paralyzed in bed for many years. Xia Chenge starved them and abused them daily with beatings and scolding.
Why is Young Master Ling protecting this wicked woman, Xia Chenge? Why doesn’t Xia Chenge just die? It’s too disgusting, truly hitting a new low. Such a person should be torn apart by five horses and left to rot for three months.
……
Facing such cyberbullying, Xia Chenge remained exceptionally calm.
She was waiting for everyone to sympathize with Xia Minglan, for Xia Minglan’s family to successfully package their image of true kindness and beauty before she would counterattack. The current intensity was clearly insufficient. These netizens are a bit weak! So many days have passed, and they’re still stuck on criticizing her.
And then, a bombshell news alert popped up: Xia Chenge has gone mad and personally mutilated her family.
The accompanying picture was of her and Xia Minglan arguing at the door earlier, but it was accompanied by their final conversation, with the shot of her locking Xia Minglan outside the door being particularly clear, her expression exceptionally irritating.
Even Xia Chenge couldn’t help but laugh when she saw herself like that. She didn’t expect to have such an annoying moment. No wonder Xia Minglan was so furious at the time!
However, the comments below were uniformly wishing her dead:
Holy crap, why doesn’t Xia Chenge just die, she’s so wicked?
Mutilating her own family, is she even human? She’s a beast, okay?
I want to go beat up Xia Chenge. Anyone want to team up?
……
Xia Chenge turned off the computer and left the study room, instructing Wei En that no one except Yan Yue was allowed to approach the Old Master during this period. Especially not to let the Old Master know about anything online.
Afterward, Xia Chenge left the Xia family and headed to the hospital.
She believed that by now, Xia Minglan should have found the hospital. She wondered what Xia Minglan’s reaction would be upon seeing Ling Hanmu.
Just thinking about the scene made Xia Chenge find it amusing.
“Little Miss, don’t go out, there are many people gathered outside.” As Xia Chenge approached the courtyard, a bodyguard ran towards her with a panicked expression. Seeing Xia Chenge, he quickly stopped her.
“What happened?” Xia Chenge asked.
“Many people have come. They’re saying that you, Little Miss, are disloyal and unfilial, that you mutilated the elderly, and so on. They’re saying all sorts of nasty things.”
Xia Chenge found it amusing. Sometimes, human nature truly revels in chaos; they enjoy kicking someone when they’re down.
She couldn’t understand why they couldn’t see how kind the original owner was, yet they were deceived by that wicked family. Instead of helping those who deserved it, they aided and abetted evil.
“Go back and tell everyone in the family not to go out today,” Xia Chenge said calmly. “Be careful yourselves.”
After giving her instructions, Xia Chenge walked straight outside.
Seeing this, the bodyguard quickly stepped forward to stop her, pleading, “Little Miss, please don’t go out, it’s very dangerous.”
Xia Chenge looked at him. “Since this started because of me, then I have the responsibility to resolve it. Don’t worry, they won’t be able to hurt me.”
“No…”
“Are you doubting me?”
The bodyguard was startled by Xia Chenge’s gaze and retreated repeatedly.
Xia Chenge calmly explained, “I know what I’m doing. You go back inside!”
With that, Xia Chenge walked straight past him.
The closer Xia Chenge got to the main gate, the clearer the voices from outside became, all of them noisily discussing her alleged mutilation of the elderly.
Half of these people were probably hired by Xia Minglan, intending to escalate the situation and leave her with no way out.
Xia Chenge took out her mobile phone and dialed Xia Minglan’s number.
“Where are you? Come back, I have something to discuss.” As soon as the call connected, Xia Chenge got straight to the point and hung up, giving Xia Minglan no chance to speak.
Xia Minglan on the other end heard the busy tone and was so angry she almost smashed her phone. After a while, she gritted her teeth and suppressed her rage, muttering, “Damn little slut!”
Xia Chenge remained in the courtyard without showing herself, letting the people outside make their noise.
Ten minutes later, Xia Minglan rushed to the main entrance.
Only then did Xia Chenge leisurely walk out.
“Open the door!” Xia Minglan yelled as soon as she saw her. “It’ll be too late if we wait any longer! Do you really want to make an irreversible mistake?”
Xia Chenge lowered her head, then looked up again, her face filled with sorrow, her eyes red.
“Aunt, why are you saying that?” Xia Chenge’s voice was choked with sobs. “What mistake is irreversible?”
“How is your grandmother? Didn’t you ask me to come back to discuss this matter?” Xia Minglan’s voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear. “Chenge, don’t make any more mistakes. If Grandma is gone, do you want to lose another family member?”
