"Please sit anywhere." Song Weiyi said, and took the lead in sitting down on the single sofa in the dressing room. Even when she was sitting, she still had such an arrogant attitude.
Xia Xingchen knew that the reason why she came to her today was definitely related to Bai Yeqing, but she didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, she said, "Xia Xingchen, I give you a deadline to leave here before the press conference tomorrow!"
Your tone is not a negotiation or a request, but an order.
She was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be digesting Song Weiyi's words for a long time. When she understood, she couldn't help but look at Song Weiyi with a bit of amusement, "Miss Song, it's true that you are the daughter of Vice President Song, but being so conceited will only make you look ridiculous."
She was born and raised here, her home is here, and her work is here. Why should Song Weiyi ask herself to leave here
"Arrogant?" Song Weiyi was rare, but he didn't get angry. He just grabbed his bag and took out a brown paper bag from it. He threw it in front of Xia Xingchen with an imposing sound, "Xia Xingchen, open your eyes and take a good look at what's inside. Then you can judge whether I have the qualifications to be arrogant!"
Xia Xingchen frowned slightly, looked at her suspiciously, and then looked at the brown paper bag.
She hesitated, considered, but finally slowly opened the paper bag. She took out something from it, and the contents stunned her. The calmness she had tried to maintain since entering the door finally showed a little crack at this moment.
Inside the paper bag, there were nothing else but clear photos - photos of her and Bai Yeqing on the bus that night. Unlike what was exposed in the newspaper, these were obviously drafts, and her face was as clear as it could be.
"Is the photo good? Your face is as clear as it can be." Song Weiyi chuckled and looked at Xia Xingchen's changing expression with admiration.
Xia Xingchen came back to his senses, stuffed the photos into a brown paper bag, and threw it back on the coffee table in front. He just looked at the woman opposite coldly, "What do you want by showing me these?"
"I told you!" Song Weiyi repeated, "Leave this city and don't come back!"
"Do you have so little confidence in yourself?"
"You don't have to provoke me with such words." Song Weiyi was not fooled. "Since I have the ability to block your way, I have no reason to leave even a little chance for your future! After Ye Qingzhen and I got married, he didn't look for you, but it doesn't mean you won't come to bother him. Tell me, would I be stupid enough to give you such an opportunity!"
"What if I don't agree to your request?"
"It's very simple." Song Weiyi was obviously smiling, but there was cruelty and coldness in his eyes. "Now it's not just the media, but the people all over the country are curious about the identity of the heroine! You say, if I publish these photos online..."
Having said this, she paused, and looked at Xia Xingchen's face which was gradually turning pale with satisfaction. She put her hand in front of her, clenched it into a fist, and then suddenly released it.
"Bang—" she laughed, "It will definitely ruin his image, right? Don't forget, the news of our engagement was known to the whole world. When the time comes, I will stand up and cry to the media, saying that he not only cheated on you during the period of our engagement, but now he even proposed to use marriage to ask me to take the blame for you..."
"Song Weiyi, you are despicable!" He made an angry accusation, but the next moment, a glass of ice water was poured on his head.
"How can you call me a mean person?" Song Weiyi said with a stern expression.
The water was very cold. Xia Xingchen gasped in shock when it was poured over her head. Song Weiyi was a person with a strong desire for revenge. Last time, she poured water on her in public at the dinner party. Naturally, she was now seeking revenge for what happened that day.
Xia Xingchen endured it and didn't get angry. She knew what was going on and couldn't get angry. She just quietly took out a tissue and wiped the water off her face. Fortunately, she didn't wear any makeup today, so apart from being a little cold, she didn't look too embarrassed.
He smoothed his hair to calm himself down, raised his head, and looked coldly at the woman in front of him, "You should know that if you dare to expose these photos, there will never be a chance for you and Bai Yeqing again!"
"There are always gains and losses in life. Although it is impossible for him and I to be together, at least my father will have one less strong competitor if he is elected as the next president. Besides, I, Song Weiyi, have never lacked men who are not only willing to marry me, but also willing to love me. What's the harm in losing Bai Yeqing?"
She was clearly determined.
Song Weiyi was probably capable of doing anything. Besides, Bai Yeqing had told her so directly on the phone that day—marriage was just a temporary solution, and he would never fall in love with her.
Xia Xingchen held the tissue in her hand and slowly tightened it. Because she squeezed too hard, her joints turned pale. The tissue was even crumpled in her hand.
Song Weiyi took a look and continued, "If you don't want to implicate him, just quit your job. I don't care where you go, as long as you stay away from Kyoto. There will be a press conference tomorrow. If I know you are still there... See you at the press conference!"
The last sentence was full of threats.
Before Xia Xingchen could say anything, Song Weiyi's cell phone suddenly rang. Song Weiyi took a look, picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and walked to a corner.
"Hello, Mom, yes, I'm helping Ye Qing pick out a dress... Um, have uncle, aunt, and sister Su Ye arrived? Okay, I'll be right over. Do you have the wedding invitation samples with you? Okay, I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, I came back to my senses and found that Xia Xingchen was no longer in the room. The photo on the low table was also gone.
After a moment's hesitation, she picked up her bag and walked out slowly.
"Miss Song." The staff greeted immediately. Song Weiyi glanced at them and asked, "Where is she?"
"Miss Xia just left in a hurry."
Song Weiyi nodded and said nothing more. If Xia Xingchen really loved Bai Yeqing, and was not attracted by his identity as president and fantasized about being the president's wife, she would naturally know what to choose!
… … … … …
When Xia Xingchen returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she was a little lost. It was time for dinner, and Chi Weiyang pulled her to the cafeteria to eat. She shook her head and said she had no appetite.
"What's wrong? You went out for a while and came back with a pale face."
Xia Xingchen moved her lips, but she couldn't say anything. She just felt her chest was stuffy, as if it was stuffed with cotton. "You go eat first. I want to sit alone for a while and think about something."
Seeing her unhappy expression, Chi Weiyang did not insist. He just held her cold hand and comforted her softly, "I brought you food. I know you are upset because of what happened recently, but don't keep everything to yourself. The sky won't fall!"
