Chapter 79: No Rush for Now
Xu Jingyi struggled desperately but couldn’t budge her an inch. Xia Chenge gradually tightened her grip. He began to feel the air thinning, his lungs feeling like they would explode, suffocating him with discomfort, his face slowly turning a liverish color.
Death felt so close, and fear spread endlessly. Xu Jingyi had only one thought: Was he really going to die here today?
“Let, let, let go of me… I, I, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll agree, to, to anything…” Xu Jingyi managed to utter those words with great difficulty, using all his strength.
Xia Chenge smirked sinisterly, “Do you have the qualification to negotiate now?”
“If, if I die, you, you won’t, have, a, good, outcome, either, have, you, thought, about, them?”
“What am I afraid of? You’ve already insisted I’m mentally ill! According to Country A’s laws, mentally ill patients are not legally responsible for murder!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyi shivered all over, realizing he had truly shot himself in the foot this time!
Seeing Xu Jingyi about to suffocate and roll his eyes, Xia Chenge finally released him and pushed him aside, saying with disgust, “Considering you’ve guarded Sheng Xia for the Xia family for so many years, I’ll spare your life today! You’ll die sooner or later, just you wait!”
As soon as Xu Jingyi was free, a large amount of air rushed in, causing him to cough incessantly, unable to retort to Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge turned to look at Wei Lixin, her expression returning to normal, as if the devilish girl from moments ago wasn’t her. “Uncle Wei, let’s go back to Haicheng!”
Wei Lixin snapped back to attention at the sound of her voice and quickly pulled his wife and son to follow Xia Chenge. The scene just now had shocked him; who would have thought that the seemingly frail Xia Chenge possessed such formidable skills…
Xu Jingyi clutched his still aching neck, gazing fearfully at Xia Chenge and her group as they left.
Once Xia Chenge’s figure disappeared at the alley entrance, he collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength. Leaning against a wall, he gasped for air, still shaken.
The feeling of having walked through the gates of hell made Xu Jingyi truly fear Xia Chenge from the bottom of his heart, and fear death even more.
However, Xu Jingyi did not repent because Xia Chenge had let him go. Instead, he resolved to make Xia Chenge disappear from this world, no matter the means!
Someone who posed such a great threat to him should die, just like Xia Mingxuan!
…
Xia Chenge and her group arrived at the airport smoothly and booked the earliest flight back to Haicheng.
Wei Lixin remained uneasy, constantly glancing around the airport, seemingly worried about Xu Jingyi’s people appearing.
Xia Chenge noticed this and said softly, “Uncle Wei, you don’t need to worry. Xu Jingyi won’t dare to show himself again; he was scared stiff just now.”
Hearing this, Wei Lixin felt as if he had been given a reassurance and a great weight was lifted from his shoulders.
As Xia Chenge had predicted, Xu Jingyi did not appear before them again until they returned to Haicheng. In fact, knowing their flight details, Xu Jingyi had even postponed his return to Haicheng.
Upon reaching the entrance of the Xia family mansion, Wei Lixin got out of the car and stood at the gate for a long time without speaking.
He never imagined that he would be able to return to his hometown, Haicheng, one day. He thought he would never have the chance to return home in his lifetime!
Upon hearing the news of their return, Wei En and Yan Yue rushed out. The moment they saw Wei Lixin’s family of three, they immediately embraced and wept.
Because of the Xia family’s affairs, their family had been forced to separate and had not reunited for many years.
Although all of this had nothing to do with Xia Chenge, she was now in the identity of the Xia family’s young lady. Perhaps due to the lingering emotions of the original owner, she felt a sense of guilt, more or less.
“Alright, Grandpa Wei, they’re back now. If you keep crying, you’ll attract a crowd. Let’s talk about anything inside,” Xia Chenge advised.
They then wiped their tears and went inside together.
Xia Chenge specifically gave Wei En and Yan Yue time off so they could have a proper family reunion.
Wei En expressed his heartfelt gratitude but declined Xia Chenge’s arrangement.
Under Xia Chenge’s insistence, Wei En and Yan Yue finally returned to their rooms with Wei Lixin and his family.
Xia Chenge went upstairs to see the Old Master. The Old Madam’s condition had improved significantly.
“Has Ah Xin been brought back?” The Old Master was also aware of the situation and was particularly concerned.
Xia Chenge nodded, “I’ve already given Grandpa Wei and Granny Wei time off so they can reunite.”
“They deserve it, they deserve it. In the end, it was our family’s affairs that implicated them. I’ve always felt guilty. Fortunately, it’s not too late to make amends,” the Old Master said with great relief.
“I plan to transfer the duplex apartment in Yiyayuan to Grandpa Wei’s name. Do you agree, Grandfather?” This was something she had considered before, but since Wei Lixin hadn’t returned to Haicheng, she had never brought it up.
“Yes, give it to them! This is our compensation. Transfer the villa in Dongshan Garden to their name as well. They’ve suffered too much over the years. I’d even be willing to give them half of my shares,” Old Master Xia said sincerely. He would never forget Wei En’s kindness.
“We’ll discuss the company shares later. We can’t do that now, as it would be disadvantageous to Grandpa Wei. I will handle their family matters, so please rest assured, Grandfather. I plan to appoint Uncle Wei as the Chairman’s special assistant in your name.”
“Good, good, good, I’ll listen to you!” Old Master Xia had already placed immense trust in Xia Chenge.
Old Madam Xia said with a smile, “Old man, our Xiao Ge has grown up. She thinks more thoughtfully than we do. The future of our Xia family is promising!”
Old Master Xia said with a proud expression, “Of course! Who do you think she’s a granddaughter of!”
“You old man, are you taking credit like that?”
“Hehe, wife, you deserve the most credit.”
Xia Chenge watched them quietly, feeling a sense of peaceful, stable, and beautiful present-day life.
Of course, Wei Lixin would encounter various difficulties and pressure from all sides upon entering Sheng Xia. Having Wei Lixin step forward was something she had to do.
Although she had told Huang Xing that she would enter Sheng Xia next year, she wanted the shareholders of Sheng Xia to know that she would never give up on Sheng Xia.
Because everyone knew that Wei En was Old Master Xia’s most trusted person!
She chatted with the two elders for a while longer before returning to her own room.
The internet was still filled with curses directed at her, and the so-called scandalous information was increasing. No matter how others tried to provoke her by name, Xia Chenge always dismissed it with a smile.
And Xu Jingyun, because of this incident, was gradually being compared to Xia Chenge.
Under deliberate guidance, Xu Jingyun had seemingly become a victim of Xia Chenge’s schemes. People seemed to have forgotten that Xu Jingyun was the first girl Ling Hanmu had targeted in Haicheng.
Xia Chenge skimmed through it. The insults directed at her were hardly fresh, so she lost interest and lay down to rest.
There were still many things to do; no need to rush.
It was too easy to try and destroy someone by overpraising them.
Did Xu Jingyun really think she had nothing up her sleeve?
Heh…
