Chapter 98: Go to Hell 3
Xu Jingyun was still immersed in the joy of being attacked by Xia Chenge, never expecting that Xia Chenge would cunningly scheme against her and release the video from the restroom.
Xu Jingyun’s smile froze on her face, and facing wave after wave of suspicion, she felt lost.
She never imagined that Xia Chenge was so deeply scheming!
Xu Jingyun gritted her teeth in hatred. She had finally managed to push Xia Chenge to a point of no return, only for Xia Chenge to launch a desperate counterattack!
“What should I do? I can’t let this continue, or it’ll be over.” Xu Jingyun muttered to herself, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Just then, Xu Jingyi called.
Xu Jingyun clutched at him like a drowning person: “Dad, quickly think of a way, I’ve been framed by Xia Chenge.”
“How could you be so careless? You knew Xia Chenge was full of tricks, yet you fell for it and got provoked.” Xu Jingyi chided, “But don’t worry, I’ll handle this. However, you must remember to endure everything, no matter what Xia Chenge does, until the Ling family announces your marriage contract with Ling Hanmu!”
“I understand, Father. I will definitely endure.” Xu Jingyun replied, her heart in a panic.
“Sigh, I know you’re not convinced, but darling, you’re truly no match for Xia Chenge. Don’t give her any more ammunition to frame you.” Xu Jingyi softened his voice.
With a single move affecting the whole situation, Xu Jingyi absolutely could not let Xu Jingyun’s engagement to Ling Hanmu fall through.
After receiving her father’s promise, Xu Jingyun felt slightly relieved.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but she no longer dared to provoke Xia Chenge.
What Xu Jingyun didn’t know was that Xia Chenge had been monitoring their family’s communications all along. She guessed that Xu Jingyi would likely use the video to their advantage, claiming Xia Chenge deliberately schemed to provoke Xu Jingyun and then recorded a video to frame her.
With half an hour left until the banquet, just as Xia Chenge had predicted, several prominent influencers emerged, righteously analyzing that Xia Chenge had premeditated this to ruin Xu Jingyun, calling her actions heinous. Otherwise, why would she release a video at such a crucial moment?
This made Xu Jingyun’s brain-dead fans jump even more wildly:
I knew it, Xia Chenge is such a cunning little slut. How could our Jingyun Baby, who is so pure, possibly be her opponent?
Poor Jingyun Baby, she’s been slandered beyond recognition.
Xia Chenge, I’ll hate you forever. Get out of Country A.
This is the worst slander a wealthy family has ever suffered. If Xia Chenge’s parents knew, they’d probably jump out of their coffins in anger.
…
Not only was the online criticism fierce, but even the guests attending the birthday banquet were discussing the matter, forming an extremely bad impression of Xia Chenge.
Even in the sparsely populated back garden, people were discussing her. The words they used were all filled with disdain:
“I really didn’t expect Xia Mingxuan’s daughter to be so scheming. Xu Jingyun has been severely tricked this time. But what good can Xu Jingyun be? Who could stomach Ling Hanmu getting engaged to someone like that? Neither the Xia family nor the Xu family is qualified to form a marriage alliance with the Ling family.”
“Xia Chenge is also wishful thinking, believing that because Ling Hanmu once protected her, she’s indispensable to him? The interests of large families are not like the petty squabbles of high school students. However, I suspect Xia Chenge might have already been intimate with Ling Hanmu; otherwise, why would she be so fearless?”
“Hahaha, then we’ll have a good show to watch. Let the two sisters fight it out, preferably until they’re both injured. If necessary, we’ll give them a push.”
…
This conversation made Xia Chenge frown.
How many people were coveting the identity of Young Madam Ling? She and Ling Hanmu were just ordinary friends, yet people were already saying such things. If they were actually dating, wouldn’t she be drowned in a flood of gossip?
From this, it could be seen that dating Ling Hanmu was indeed something that would displease many people!
However, if these people were making her unhappy now, she wouldn’t let them be happy either.
So Xia Chenge slowly walked out from the corner, sneering, “They say three women make a lot of noise. I thought the noble ladies of high society wouldn’t gossip behind people’s backs, but it turns out they’re no different from common gossips.”
The three noblewomen were startled by her words and quickly turned around. Upon seeing Xia Chenge, a flicker of disbelief and surprise crossed their eyes. They probably hadn’t expected Xia Chenge to be so breathtakingly beautiful.
But they quickly cast aside that astonishment and disdainfully averted their gaze.
“Where did this wild girl come from? So ill-mannered?”
“Could she be the daughter of some servant in the Ling family, hiding in the back garden and eavesdropping?”
“She’s dressed respectably and looks quite pretty, but with such a vulgar background, she shouldn’t dream of flying up a branch to become a phoenix.”
These three women were subtly and overtly belittling Xia Chenge, pretending not to know her.
“First, I arrived here first; second, you were talking about me behind my back, should I thank you with a smile? Third, before accusing others, look at what you’ve done! Don’t think that just because I, Xia Chenge, have no parents, I’m an easy target for bullying.”
“The tables will turn; don’t bully the poor young!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three noblewomen changed drastically.
Just as they were about to lash out, a clear, youthful voice coldly rang out: “You can act however you want in your own home, but don’t cause a scene at the Ling family’s residence, or don’t blame this Young Master for unceremoniously kicking you out!”
The three turned their heads at the sound and saw Ling Hanmu walking over with a cold aura. Their faces changed, they broke out in a cold sweat, and stammered, “Ling, Ling, Young Master Ling…”
“Get out of here. If I see you bullying her again, don’t blame me for being impolite. This time, I’m giving you a chance out of consideration for your families!”
“Th-thank you, Young Master Ling…” Hearing this, the three fled the back garden as if escaping.
Ling Hanmu looked at Xia Chenge and chided, “Why did you come here alone to be with those shrewish women? I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
“As the host, you naturally have to be busy. I can just wander around by myself,” Xia Chenge said with a smile.
“Don’t you know I’ll be very angry if I see you being bullied on my territory?” Ling Hanmu patted her head. “The dignity of the host has been challenged!”
“Alright, they’re just insignificant people, why bother caring?” Xia Chenge subtly dodged Ling Hanmu’s touch.
Ling Hanmu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. When would this little girl stop avoiding him?
Thinking about what would happen later, Ling Hanmu felt uncertain and worried that Xia Chenge would be angry. If she got angry, she would be truly impossible to appease, right? But Ling Hanmu didn’t want to give up this rare opportunity; otherwise, it would be even harder to be together legitimately in the future.
“What are you thinking about?” Seeing that he was silent, she tilted her head and looked at him.
Ling Hanmu smiled slightly, “I plan to post on Weibo. Come, let’s take a short video.”
The music for the video was surprisingly catchy: “Hello baby, want a hug, gather courage, want a hug, so sweet, want a hug, ah… I just want you to hug me, keep trying, want a hug, so beautiful, want a hug, ah…”
Xia Chenge broke out in a cold sweat. Before she could stop him, he had already posted it.
