Xia Xingkong took the money, found a medium-sized hotel, ordered some food in the hotel, and returned to the room.
Passing by the mirror, she accidentally saw herself in the mirror, dirty and disheveled. She couldn't help but smile bitterly with tears in her eyes, and her laughter became louder and louder.
She always thought that since Cui Jingshu brought her to Lidu, her future would be bright and would get better and better.
She never dreamed that one day she would end up in such a situation!
While taking a shower, she rubbed her neck vigorously because there were still strawberries left by Gong Bingyu on it.
She washed and rubbed for a long time, then squatted against the wall and burst into tears as the water swished...
She stayed in the bathroom until she was almost out of oxygen and then came out.
After putting on her bathrobe, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter bringing her food. After a hearty meal, her body regained its energy.
At the same time, it also aroused her fighting spirit.
Xia Xingkong, who had regained her sanity, suddenly remembered the business card she found in the trash can early yesterday morning. She remembered that after she called Mingjie, she casually put the business card in her pocket.
She found her pants and pulled out the wrinkled business card from her pocket. Fortunately, the phone number on it was still clear.
Then, she found her cell phone in her shirt pocket. The phone was already out of battery. She found a charging cable in the room to charge it, and then called Mingjie on the landline.
This time, Mingjie finally answered the phone. When the four words "Hello, who is this?" came from the other end of the receiver, Xia Xingkong didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The brief silence made Mingjie lose his patience. Just as he was about to hang up, Xia Xingkong quickly said, "Hello, I'm Xia Xingkong."
Thinking back to the last time when she showed disdain towards Mingjie, she felt a little ashamed.
Mingjie on the other end seemed very surprised. "Oh? It's Miss Xia. What's the matter with Miss Xia calling me?"
She was afraid that Mingjie would hang up, so she got straight to the point and asked, "Last time, you invited me to your company. I felt you were very sincere, so... I agreed to it."
Unexpectedly, Mingjie on the other end of the phone burst into laughter after hearing this. "Ms. Xia, there's so much negative information about you online right now. Do you think you're still qualified to sign a contract with Xia?"
"Or do you think that you have the same luck as Xia Xingchen and can be favored by the Crown Prince?"
"If not, do you think I, Mingjie, would sign you, who has been labeled a plagiarist?"
"I..." Xia Xingkong was speechless. She was indeed at a disadvantage now.
"Miss Xia, if you have nothing to do, please don't call me. After all, I'm very busy and don't have time to answer boring calls."
After saying this, Mingjie decisively hung up the phone.
The world is so fickle.
"Xia Xingchen, Xia Xingchen, it's all because of Xia Xingchen again. What's so good about her, Xia Xingchen!" Xia Xing threw the phone to the ground in anger.
The anger that had originally subsided was ignited again. She gritted her teeth, and her once gentle eyes were filled with viciousness and cruelty. "Xia Xingchen, aren't you just luckier than me? Since I can't beat you, then I will destroy you."
She sat down on the bed angrily, picked up her phone, turned it on, and called Li Biao directly, "I want you to teach someone a lesson now."

Xia Xingchen has been in poor condition since her grandmother passed away. When her grandmother passed away, she took her soul with her, leaving behind only a body.
Gong Bingye stayed with her from beginning to end, but Xia Xingchen seemed to be unable to see him. No matter what he said or did, she remained indifferent.
Xia Xingchen's condition made him feel distressed. He would rather Xia Xingchen cry and make a fuss to vent her emotions, which was better than holding it in.
She hadn't eaten for several days since she knew her grandmother was critically ill. Even if he forced food into her mouth, she would spit it out.
She hadn't slept for several days. When she was extremely sleepy, she would take a short nap, and then just sit like this...
Gong Bingye's heart bled when he saw her like this. He was worried that the little girl would not be able to bear it if she didn't eat or drink, so he asked Ke Junchen to give her a nutrient solution.
In order to help Xia Xingchen get out of the haze as soon as possible, Gong Bingye asked the driver to go to Jiashi Entertainment to bring Ji Zhong, Yi Kai and others over, and also went to Gongxia to pick up Chen Bing and Li Li as well.
Even so, Xia Xingchen remained indifferent.
"Little girl, look everyone is here to see you. They are all very worried about you. Can you please wake up?" Gong Bingye squatted in front of Xia Xingchen, gently holding her hand, his gentle voice full of pleading and heartache.
This was the first time that Li Li saw the almighty Prince Lidu speaking to a woman in such a humble manner.
Ji Zhong also walked up to Xia Xingchen and gestured with his hands. He wanted to speak to comfort her, but no matter how hard he tried, his throat felt like it was blocked by a thick wall, and he couldn't make a single sound. He could only make hoarse "ah, ah" sounds.
Yoshihide was anxious and angry about his disability. Finally, he walked out of the crowd with red eyes, leaning on the wall with one arm and hitting the wall hard with the other hand.
He hated...hated his own powerlessness, and even more hated himself for not being able to speak!
Seeing this, Yikai walked over to Yoshitaka, pursed his lips and patted his shoulder.
The arrival of Ji Zhong and others did not help. Xia Xingchen was still immersed in sadness and unable to get out of it.
Ke Junchen said that her grandmother's passing was a huge blow to Xia Xingchen, and she simply couldn't accept it. Only when she truly let go could she get over the pain...
All Gong Bingye can do now is to stay by her side all the time.
At night, even if she didn't sleep, he would tell her stories. During the day, even if she didn't eat, he would cook for her and feed her personally...
It was foggy all day that day. Near dusk, Gong Bingye prepared dinner in the kitchen. When he brought it to Xia Xingchen's room, he found that Xia Xingchen was missing.
"Girl, girl..." Gong Bingye dropped the plate in her hand to the ground. The sound of the plate breaking attracted the housekeeper, who hurried over and said, "Prince, what's wrong?"
"Where is the girl? Where did my girl go?" Gong Bingye said in panic.
The housekeeper glanced at the bed, which was now empty. There was no trace of Xia Xingchen on the bed. He said in panic, "Miss Xia, she..."
Gong Bingye hurried to his study to check the surveillance footage, only to discover that Xia Xingchen had walked out of the bedroom while he went downstairs to cook.
"Girl, please don't be in any trouble!" Gong Bingye's heart was in his throat when he saw Xia Xingchen going out in this state.
He didn't dare to delay any longer and ordered the housekeeper and servants to go out and look for people. He was worried that there were not enough people, so he activated the Y organization that was hiding in the dark to protect them.
Fortunately, the girl was gone not long ago, so it should still be in time to look for her now...
Xia Xingchen walked dully in the woods. She didn't know where she was going. Her brain controlled her body to walk forward aimlessly.
The sky gradually darkened, the fog thickened, and from the forest came the calls of various birds and the terrifying howling of wolves...
Xia Xingchen was walking in the forest when she suddenly heard someone calling her!
