Xia Xingkong was unwilling to give in, and continued, "Are you really going to sweep the toilet there for the rest of your life, willingly and without any resentment?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this. As soon as she mentioned this, Li Ling became furious. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life. The mayor's wife was actually sent to clean the toilet!
"Okay, Mom will listen to you. We will expose her! Let the public know that the heroine is not Miss Song at all, but Xia Xingchen, the one who interfered! We will also avenge you for having Xu Yan snatched away by her!" Li Ling nodded.
Xia Xingkong immediately opened a thread, eager to give it a try. He had long wanted to vent out the resentment in his heart!
"What are you doing?!"
She had just composed a paragraph and hadn't pressed the send button when a dull voice suddenly sounded from behind her. The two of them were startled and turned back subconsciously, only to find that Xia Guopeng had stood behind them without them noticing.
His searching gaze passed over the two people's faces. Then, it fell heavily on the computer screen. Xia Xingkong was slightly startled and moved his body slightly, trying to block the screen.
But it was too late.
"Step aside!"
"Dad, there's nothing to watch." Xia Xingkong didn't let him, but closed the computer instead. Li Ling stood up with a smile and took her husband's arm, "Guo Peng, it's getting late now, let's go to bed early. Xingkong is still looking for a job and has an interview tomorrow, let's not disturb her."
Xia Guopeng didn't buy her trick at all, he pushed her hand away and reached out to open Xia Xingkong's computer. This time, he had no choice but to see every word Xia Xingkong had just written.
Xia Guopeng's originally cold eyebrows began to twitch. The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat stiff and suffocating. Li Lingyi and Xia Xingkong looked at each other and stood aside, both of them somewhat uneasy.
"Why write these things?" Xia Guopeng finally spoke, with suppressed anger clearly in his voice.
“…” Both of them bit their lips and said nothing.
"I'll ask again, what do you want to do?!" His cold eyes swept across Xia Xingkong's face. Xia Xingkong bit his lips tightly and dared not speak. He looked at his mother for help.
Li Ling plucked up her courage and said, "We... We are just angry. Xingkong lost her job for no apparent reason, and I was sent to clean the toilet. Guopeng, one of us is your daughter, and the other is your wife. Can you really bear this? We exposed Xia Xingchen, and neither of them will have a good life!"
"How foolish!" Xia Guopeng was so angry that he slapped the table hard. There was a loud "bang" that sounded particularly scary at night. "You think this house is not messy enough, right?"
"Just protect your Xia Xingchen. You were not like this before!"
"You know nothing! If you cause trouble again, you'll forget about living like this!" Xia Guopeng was furious. "How dare you two take advantage of the president's misfortune? Don't you think you have the ability to do it? Do you know what happened to Wu and Yang, the two people who caused trouble with you last time?!"
"What... end?"
"They will be dismissed from their posts and put on trial. Sooner or later, they will all end up in jail. Even their wives who usually behave badly will not be able to escape! If you dare to post these things online today, and Mr. President wants to find a crime to punish us, you will be in trouble! Don't think it will be as simple as cleaning the toilet!"
Li Lingyi was indeed shocked. If she caused her husband to be fired because of her anger, the loss would be huge. If she couldn't even be the mayor's wife, what was the meaning of her life
As soon as Xia Guopeng left, Li Lingyi immediately turned on the computer and deleted all the words written by Xia Xingkong. She seemed to be afraid that Xia Xingkong would do something wrong, so she even unplugged her network cable.
"Mom! What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Stop bothering me! Your father is right. If we, ordinary people, fight against the president, isn't that courting death?"
"Then don't disconnect my internet connection, I still need to watch the news!"
After Li Ling left one by one, Xia Xingkong installed the network cable again. He turned on the computer and thought about it. In the end, he did not rewrite the post. Xia Xingchen was lucky to have the President as her backer!
… … … … …
Xia Xingchen took out her phone and looked at it. She was so disappointed when she saw the two words flashing on the screen. Chi Weiyang saw her expression and also glanced at her screen. It was not Mr. President, but the words "Zenan".
"Take it." Chi Weiyang bumped into her shoulder.
Xia Xingchen came back to her senses and put the phone to her ear. Yu Zenan's voice came from the other side, "Are you home?"
"Um."
"I'm downstairs. Come down and we can talk."
Xia Xingchen didn't know what Yu Zenan wanted to talk to her about, but she didn't refuse. She changed out of her pajamas, wrapped herself in a woolen coat, and went out. In this season, the weather gets cold surprisingly fast. In just a few days, the temperature has dropped a lot.
Yu Zenan did not get out of the car. When he saw her, he just opened the door from the inside and let her get in. In the car, with the heater on, Xia Xingchen felt much more comfortable.
"Why are you looking for me so late?" Xia Xingchen asked him.
Yu Zenan glanced at her sideways, "You look a little haggard."
Xia Xingchen didn't comment. Obviously, he must have seen the news all over the place today.
"Do you... know what's going on with him now?" Xia Xingchen asked Yu Zenan. She really had no one else to ask. Yu Zenan's brother was the vice president, so maybe he could know something.
"Knowing a little bit—" He paused, looked at her, and said, "It's not good."
Xia Xingchen's hands on her knees tightened a little. She could have guessed the answer a long time ago, but hearing someone say it so directly still made her heart twitch.
After a long while, she asked, "Why are you looking for me so late? Is there something wrong?"
"There will definitely be paparazzi watching him these days, so try not to get close to him." Yu Zenan said, "If people knew that you were the protagonist... I'm afraid you and your son will never have a peaceful life again."
Xia Xingchen could tell that Yu Zenan was worried about her. She was grateful. She nodded, "Don't worry, I know."
"And..." Yu Zenan's face darkened. He felt a little distressed when he saw Xia Xingchen's face, which had obviously withered because of worrying about Bai Yeqing. But he still said frankly, "I heard that Song Guoyao has already gone to see him today. This time, it's not as simple as an engagement..."
Xia Xingchen's breathing tightened.
Yu Zenan continued, "The only way for this matter to fade out of the public eye is for more explosive news to appear. Therefore, Song Guoyao's suggestion is to let him and Song Weiyi get married directly. Then... Song Weiyi will also take the blame for you at the press conference."
