Chapter 85: You’re Bullying Me
“Let’s go to the study.” Xia Chenge winked, released Wei Yu, and walked directly towards the study.
She vaguely guessed what Wei En was going to say.
Upon entering the study, Wei En immediately handed the information in his hand to Xia Chenge: “Little Miss, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results. Xu Jingyi has been seeing a mistress named Luo Yushi for over ten years, and they even own property abroad.”
Xia Chenge took it and flipped through it, a smile deepening in her eyes: “Xu Jingyi has been hiding it quite well. Who would have thought he’d be with Luo Yushi? This man is truly a schemer.”
If she guessed correctly, his relationship with Bei Dongni back then was also just an act.
Xu Jingyi truly loved Luo Yushi to have been secretly carrying on for so many years!
Xia Minglan’s reaction to knowing this must be very interesting.
To abandon her own family for this man, only to become a stepping stone for him to climb higher, it’s truly laughable to think about.
“Where is Luo Yushi now?” Xia Chenge closed the file.
Wei En said, “She’s mostly in P City, occasionally returning to Haicheng.”
“No wonder Xu Jingyi’s territory is in P City; it turns out he built his empire for his true love,” Xia Chenge said mockingly.
“Yes, the shops and properties under Luo Yushi’s name were basically given to her by Xu Jingyi. By the way, Little Miss, something is very strange. When we first started investigating Xu Jingyi, it was very difficult, but later, for some reason, it became exceptionally smooth. I always felt like someone was helping us from the shadows.”
Xia Chenge immediately thought of Ling Hanmu. Besides the Ling family, who else had such capability?
“Don’t worry about this matter. Regardless of the other party’s intentions, as long as they don’t pose a threat to us for now, that’s enough,” Xia Chenge did not want to tell Wei En the truth.
“Then what do we do next?” Wei En asked.
“Wait for Ling Hanmu’s birthday.” A cold glint flashed in Xia Chenge’s eyes. “It’s time for a proper counterattack. Otherwise, they’ll really think I’m a pushover who can be bullied at will?”
“Do you need me to arrange anything?”
“Just keep an eye on Luo Yushi during this period. I’ll handle the rest.”
“Okay!”
Wei En felt an indescribable excitement, eagerly anticipating that day.
Xia Chenge gave some more detailed instructions, then let Wei En leave. She remained alone in the study and reread Luo Yushi’s information.
Recalling the conversation she overheard that day, Xia Chenge felt Xia Minglan was truly the most foolish woman in the world.
However, she wouldn’t pity Xia Minglan; Xia Minglan’s misfortune was self-inflicted.
There are six days left until Ling Hanmu’s birthday. Xu Jingyun lost face in front of Madam Ling today and will definitely try to scheme against her at the banquet to regain Madam Ling’s good impression.
Thinking of this, Xia Chenge found it particularly amusing.
Whether Xu Jingyun lives or dies depends on her performance at the banquet.
Xia Chenge threw Luo Yushi’s information into the shredder and then left the study.
As for how Xu Jingyun tried to frame her today, she really didn’t care!
……
Five days passed quickly.
Xia Chenge’s name had become notoriously famous in Haicheng.
Xia Chenge lived a low-key life every day, going to and from school with a driver, and even stopped going for her workouts.
Reporters eager for gossip stalked Xia Chenge daily. After the incident where she almost hit them last time, they no longer dared to openly block Xia Chenge.
No one at school dared to provoke her either. Apart from the unpleasant whispers, these were probably the most peaceful days Xia Chenge had experienced since her rebirth.
Furthermore, this body’s evolution speed far exceeded her imagination. She wondered if it was because the excessive exertion from saving the Old Madam last time had instead stimulated her greatest potential.
She began to attempt to heal the two elders’ bodies for the first time. Although the effects were not yet visible, it wouldn’t be long before the two elders could stand up again!
To avoid outsiders noticing, she had Yan Yue give the two elders massages for two hours every day.
“Xiao Ge, even the doctors have determined we won’t be able to stand again, so please don’t trouble A Yue. We’re fine as we are,” the Old Madam disagreed with Xia Chenge’s arrangement.
Yan Yue, however, said, “That’s not necessarily true. There are always miracles. If that doesn’t work, we’ll think of other ways. What if it really works? Two hours isn’t much, it’s fine, Madam, please don’t refuse Little Miss’s kind intentions.”
“You will definitely stand up again, believe me,” Xia Chenge said with certainty. “We’ll go on trips and things together then. I’ve been looking forward to this day every single day.”
“Silly child.” The Old Madam was full of emotion. Although she knew what Xia Chenge said was impossible, Xia Chenge’s heartfelt intention made her happy from the bottom of her heart.
“Grandmother, you must be obedient, understand? Grandfather, you too!” Xia Chenge spoke in their usual tone.
The other three couldn’t help but laugh and eventually agreed to Xia Chenge’s arrangement.
After convincing them, Xia Chenge left the room and then noticed a missed call from Ling Hanmu.
She called him back, and it was answered after one ring.
“Little Brother, are you out? I’m at your doorstep.” Ling Hanmu’s voice sounded very cheerful.
“I’m just about to head out.” Xia Chenge didn’t know what he was up to this time. “Are you waiting for me?”
“Hurry up and come out, I’m waiting for you.” Ling Hanmu hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Xia Chenge raised an eyebrow, too lazy to delve into what Ling Hanmu was planning.
As a result, when she went out, she saw Ling Hanmu leaning lazily against his flashy sports car, smiling as he watched her approach.
“What brings you here so early in the morning?” Xia Chenge asked.
Ling Hanmu turned and took out an exquisite box from the passenger seat: “This is for you. Come to my birthday banquet tomorrow; the invitation is inside.”
Xia Chenge took it doubtfully, saying, “You’re too much, putting an invitation in such a big box!”
Ling Hanmu smiled without speaking, urging her to open it with his eyes.
It had to be said that Xia Chenge was sometimes quite single-minded when it came to emotions, completely failing to realize that the box contained a dress.
She looked at the expensive and gorgeous dress, completely stunned: “Why are you giving this to me?”
“To be my date. Isn’t it appropriate to give you a dress?” Ling Hanmu asked with a smile.
Xia Chenge paused: “But I’ve already prepared one myself.”
Ling Hanmu immediately looked wronged: “It’s my birthday, can’t you listen to me just once?”
“They say birthdays are the most important!”
“It seems all those sayings are lies!”
“Little Brother, you’re so wicked.”
“I don’t care, I want you to wear this dress.”
“Otherwise, I’ll cry to the whole world that you’re bullying me.”
Xia Chenge: “……”
Can you have some dignity, Young Master Ling?
“Alright, take it home, I’ll wait for you.” Then, Ling Hanmu pushed Xia Chenge towards the door without further ado.
By the time Xia Chenge intended to return it to him, she had already been pushed inside the door.
Ling Hanmu stood outside, gazing at her with a smile, as radiant as the morning sun.
