"No need!" Li Li refused. Soon, she realized, "Don't change the subject. Come with me now and apologize to Xiao. I believe he will forgive you."
"As for...what you did to me, I can let it go."
There was loss and sadness in Li Li's eyes.
Hearing this, Xia Xingchen found it ridiculous. "You said you two were just ordinary friends, and even the words you said had the same purpose. Li Li, don't you think you're stupid for doing this?"
"Xiao couldn't even invite me, do you think you are important to me?"
"Do you take yourself too seriously?"
"If you feel that you've had enough of the entertainment industry, I can ban you immediately and make you disappear from my sight forever."
In an instant, Li Li felt her brain rumble. She couldn't believe that these words came from Xia Xingchen's mouth. She shook her head and asked in confusion: "Xingchen, are you really going to be so heartless to me?"
"Tell me, what did I do wrong that makes you so disgusted with me now?"
"Get out of my sight right now. I feel sick just seeing you." Xia Xingchen said with disgust.
Cui Jingshu, who was standing by, saw that Xia Xingchen was really angry, so she patted the back of her hand and gently comforted her, "Child, is it necessary to get so angry with such low-level trash?"
What?
The bottom tier of garbage?
It turned out that she had always been so unbearable in Xingchen's heart.
Cui Jingshu pushed Li Li away and said to Xia Xingchen, "Daughter, let's go. Don't let her ruin our good mood."
"Stop right there, both of you!" At this time, Xiao, who was chasing after Li Li, walked over with heavy steps.
When she saw Xiao, Li Li felt extremely aggrieved, her eyes filled with tears. The corners of her lips trembled slightly, and she quietly hid behind Xiao.
Xiao was distressed and angry at this time.
Seeing him, Xia Xingchen suddenly became even more impatient, "I wonder if you two are done yet?"
"It's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be peeled off."
"Xia Xingchen, do you want to listen to what you're saying?" Xiao was furious, clenching his fists. "I think you're so proud that you've even forgotten your last name."
"If grandma were still alive and saw you become like this, she would die with regret."
"Don't mention this old woman to me." Xia Xingchen's face showed a disgust that Xiao couldn't imagine. "The person is dead, and you still want to blackmail me?"
Xiao stared at her intently. After a few seconds, he said firmly, "You are not Xingchen."
Xia Xingchen was panicking as Xiao continued, "You are no longer the little Xingxing I knew before."
"In that case, our friendship ends here. From now on, we will go our separate ways."
Li Li tugged at his sleeve, "Xiao, don't be impulsive."
Hearing this, Xia Xingchen not only did not feel regretful, but seemed very happy. Her words and actions completely broke Xiao's heart.
He took Li Li's hand and held it up in front of Xia Xingchen. "Li Li is my woman. If I find out that you are targeting her in the future, even if you are powerful, I will do my best to settle the score with you."
"You're on your own!"
Having said that, he took Li Li's hand and walked away.
Watching them leave, Xia Xingchen stamped her feet in anger, "Xiao, you are such a jerk! You don't even know who you are, yet you still dare to threaten me."
"Since you want to die, don't blame me for being rude."
Xiao held Li Li's hand and walked a long way until Xia Xingchen was completely out of sight. Only then did Li Li let go of his hand.
Li Li complained to him, "You were so impulsive just now. How could you say you wanted to break up with Xingchen?"
"I went to find Xingchen because I didn't want your relationship to become strained. Why are you still..."
Li Li really didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xiao was already upset about breaking up with Xia Xingchen. Now, hearing Li Li's complaints, his heart felt like a huge rock was pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe.
He didn't want to talk and hugged Li Li in his arms. Li Li was caught off guard and just as she was about to struggle, she heard Xiao say pitifully: "Don't move, let me hold you for a while, just for a while."
Thinking that Xiao broke up with Xia Xingchen for her, Li Li had no choice but to stand there obediently and pat Xiao's shoulder gently.
A few hours later, I went to President Xia’s office.
Gong Bingye was holding a video conference on his laptop, with his special assistant standing beside him, answering and returning calls one after another.
In just ten minutes, the special assistant went out five or six times.
After the meeting, Gong Bingye asked sarcastically, "Is the special assistant still busy?"
The special assistant thought for a moment and said, "Prince...Prince, it's Miss Xia..."
Gong Bingye paused while signing and asked calmly, "What's wrong, girl?"
The special assistant said truthfully, "It was the manager of Gong Xia's luxury store who called. They said that Miss Xia and the old lady were about to empty the store. They also said... these things were originally hers, and it's not wrong for her to take her own things..."
"The store manager didn't dare to take on such a big responsibility, so he called me and asked the prince..."
The special assistant secretly observed Gong Bingye's expression as he spoke. He thought that with how much the Crown Prince liked Miss Xia, the Crown Prince would never blink an eye even if Miss Xia took it from the store or gave it to her for free.
Sure enough, Gong Bingye didn't seem angry at all after hearing this. He said generously, "Since the girl likes it, let her have it."
After getting Gong Bingye's permission, the special assistant took out his phone and planned to call the store manager. Just as the call was about to go through, Gong Bingye added, "But... from what I know about the girl, she's not someone who likes to take advantage of small things. If she wants to take it, let her sign a receipt, otherwise she'll feel uneasy."
The special assistant's face was filled with embarrassment, "This..."
Gong Bingye looked at him and asked, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and tell the store manager."
"Oh!" It took the special assistant a long time to react.
Xia Xingchen had been working intermittently these days and went home very early. Gong Bingye didn't let Xia Xingchen wait for him and asked the driver to take her back by herself.
Gong Bingye comes home very late every day.
That day, when he returned to the palace, Xia Xingchen was still awake and sitting in the living room waiting for him.
"Girl, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" As soon as Gong Bingye entered the room, he saw Xia Xingchen sitting on the sofa with a very bad look on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" Gong Bingye asked.
Xia Xingchen looked at him aggrievedly, tears almost falling from her eyes. "Hubby, I went to our store to buy something today, and the manager insisted that I write an IOU, otherwise he wouldn't give me the things. Why don't you fire this blind manager?"
