Xia Xueqing then went to find several of her former maids. Compared to two years ago when they were always at her beck and call, they had now been taught a lesson by life and had developed resentment towards her.
They were all from ordinary families, and they lent money to Xia Xueqing because she was from a wealthy family, thinking that she would definitely repay the money. However, after lending the money, they couldn't get it back by phone.
Some people were even bewitched at the time, taking out loans to lend money to the young lady in order to satisfy her demands. Looking back now, they wish they could go back in time and beat their past selves to a pulp.
Some people, represented by Qiqi, who had been bewitched, not only refused to temporarily take her in, but also demanded repayment of debts.
Xia Xueqing was furious and shouted, "It's just 100,000 yuan! Why are you being so stingy? It's not like I'm not going to pay it back."
After hanging up, she moved on to contacting the next person in her phone book. As for repaying the money, she'd deal with that when she felt like it.
She called all the former servants in the villa, then called her old friends, but they were all either traveling, taking exams at school, or doing other things. In short, they all refused to take her in.
Xia Xueqing felt a chill run through her heart, yet she couldn't understand why they had suddenly become so cold and heartless.
Finally, she flipped to the top of the phone book and called Annie.
Annie had already seen the news that she was President Jin Ke's illegitimate daughter, and knew that her employer had definitely been cheated on by his wife. She had never liked this rich girl before, and now that she knew she wasn't her employer's daughter at all, she liked her even less, and naturally, she wouldn't try to please her anymore.
She was too lazy to ask Di Xiu for permission, and refused without even thinking, while also mocking the mother and daughter in a low voice.
As for the saying "respect for the dead is paramount"? If you have the ability to do it, why can't people criticize it?
Xia Xueqing bit her lip, her chest heaving violently. She squatted down and tugged at her short skirt, trying to cover her legs.
She felt colder and colder.
001 glanced at the weather forecast and beamed with excitement: "It's going to rain in the southern part of J City, how fitting!"
Xia Xueqing held her phone in her arms for a long time before finally dialing her ex-father's number.
She went from being full of confidence to feeling uneasy. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: her father had made a big fuss about recognizing her and even made the headlines—did her ex-father know that she was not his daughter?
Her phone suddenly warned her of low battery. She stared blankly at the warm phone and awkwardly hailed a taxi. Because of the remote location, it took half an hour for someone to accept her fare. Fortunately, they managed to get her into the car before the rain started.
Once in the car, she plugged in her phone to charge and gave the driver an address—a villa her ex-father had given her for her eighteenth birthday.
Upon arrival at her destination, Xia Xueqing tried to pay with her bank card. The driver swiped it, then said with a blank expression, "Miss, this card won't work."
"impossible."
Xia Xueqing's originally pale face flushed red, then turned pale again.
She thought of her experience in Country D.
This card was given to her by her father. He knew perfectly well how embarrassed and upset she was when her bank card was suddenly suspended and she couldn't pay for her purchases. Yet he treated her like this now. She recalled Jin Guanghe's indifference when he choked her, and she burst into tears.
It's quite amazing. No matter how much or how long she cries, her eyes never become red or swollen. They are always watery and incredibly endearing.
But the driver wouldn't listen. He locked the car doors and wouldn't let her out, his heart as hard as iron: "It's no use crying. I make a living driving this car. Don't even think about skipping out on the fare."
"I'm sorry, but I'm out of money. My dad is angry with me and cut off my credit card. Waaah, can I use my bracelet to pay for the fare?"
The driver glanced at the bracelet she handed him. He didn't recognize it, so he took a picture with his phone and scanned it. When he saw the string of zeros, his eyes lit up, but he pretended to be embarrassed.
He unlocked the car door and said irritably, "Alright, alright, I'll leave it at that since you look so pitiful."
001 exclaimed in admiration: "The final work of the famous jewelry designer XX·XX, Dream Elf, just this one bracelet, the starting bid was 600,000, and Jin Guanghe spent 1 million to get it, as for transportation? I don't understand the world of the rich."
Xia Xueqing got out of the car, but then stopped the driver: "Um, do you know where Mayor Xia Hongfei lives now?"
The driver looked at her suspiciously: "How could I possibly know where the mayor lives? Besides, our mayor's name is XX. Mayor Xia was promoted to the provincial department a year ago. Didn't you know?"
Xia Xueqing shook her head absently and headed towards the villa. Afraid that she would turn back and ask for the bracelet back, the driver stepped on the gas and sped away with a roar. The airflow he created lifted Xia Xueqing's somewhat dirty skirt, and she got goosebumps all over her body.
She stomped her foot in anger, splashing water everywhere. She didn't dare stomp again, and walked to the villa's door to try unlocking it with her fingerprint…
"Beep—"
"Hurrah! Hurrah!"
Ten minutes later, she sat in the warm interrogation room, wrapped in a blanket, holding a teacup, facing the policewoman's interrogation, and was stunned for a long time.
"Tell me, what are you trying to do in front of someone's villa?"
Xia Xueqing lowered her head in embarrassment, her lips trembling, and whispered, "That was a gift from my daddy, it's mine."
"Then call your dad over, and have him bring the property certificate."
The policewoman couldn't quite bring herself to call him "Daddy," and she quietly rubbed her arms.
Xia Xueqing didn't remember Xia Hongfei's number, so she gave her the phone. The policewoman found the number saved as "Daddy" and dialed it.
"I'm busy here, I don't have time for you, beep—"
Policewoman: "..."
Xia Xueqing seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly found another number. The policewoman looked at the note "murderer" and fell silent for a moment.
