After the phone call, Xia Xingchen was no longer sleepy. She lay on the bed, holding the mobile phone in both hands, and glanced at the time. It was only twelve o'clock in the afternoon. She wondered if her grandmother had eaten.
The competition schedule was very tight these two days. After her grandmother was discharged from the hospital, she had no time to call her grandmother. Thinking of this, she first called her grandmother on WeChat video. When no one answered, she directly dialed her grandmother's mobile phone number.

Since the last time Xia Xingkong and Gong Bingyu reached an agreement, Linhui Entertainment’s stock price has not fallen, but has increased day by day, which makes Li Zhenglin very pleased.
Although Gong Bingyu may seem intimidating on the surface, she's actually quite reliable when it comes to getting things done, right?!
After lunch, grandma took a stroll in the garden. It was almost winter now, and the flowers had all withered, leaving only dry branches. Grandma walked slowly. The garden was full of the smell of soil, which reminded her of the days she and Xia Xingchen spent in the countryside.
Although those days were not her most glorious days, they were definitely her warmest and happiest times.
How wonderful it would be if time could stay at that moment forever, and tiny Xia Xingchen would always follow her...
When she was lost in thought, grandma heard the sound of a WeChat video call. When she slowly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, the video had already ended. The phone prompted that it was a video call from Xia Xingchen. A smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
She unlocked her phone and clicked on the missed video on WeChat. Just as she was about to reply, Xia Xingchen called her. Her grandmother quickly answered the call, fearing that Xia Xingchen would hang up again the next second.
"Grandma." Xia Xingchen called softly.
But grandma shouted "Hey!" in a loud voice. Maybe her voice was a little loud, which attracted Xia Xingkong who was sitting in the living room.
Xia Xingchen: "Have you eaten?"
Grandma was as well-behaved as a child and answered honestly: "Yes, I eat it. It's very good and the nutrition is balanced."
Xia Xingchen reminded: "Don't forget to eat the bird's nest I bought for you, and...you promised that after I finish the competition, you would move out and live with me."
Hearing the word "bird's nest", grandma hesitated for a moment, then she said vaguely: "Don't worry, grandma remembers it all! From childhood to adulthood, when has grandma ever broken her promise to Xia Xia?"
As soon as she finished speaking, grandma saw Xia Xingkong walking towards her. She pretended to be calm and hung up Xia Xingchen's phone, fearing that Xia Xingchen would notice something was wrong.
"Hey! Why did you hang up the phone as soon as I arrived?" Xia Xingkong walked up to his grandmother and asked sarcastically, "Is Xia Xingchen saying bad things about me again?"
Grandma put her phone away and said something with a hint of meaning: "Our Xia Xia is different from you!"
Xia Xingkong snorted coldly. She was not angry at all that her grandmother favored Xia Xingchen, because in her opinion, her grandmother was just a village woman and she could not get any benefit from her.
However, this old woman was able to restrain Xia Xingchen very well, which was probably her only use.
Xia Xingkong deliberately misinterpreted her grandmother's words. Standing beside her, she said sarcastically, "Yeah! I'm no match for your good granddaughter. I just came to Li not long ago and I've already been slept with by a man."
"Do you know who the man who slept with her is?"
Without waiting for her grandmother to speak, she answered herself: "He is Gong Bingyu, the eldest young master of the Gong family."
"Your granddaughter is very good at playing hard to get. She has the eldest young master of the Gong family completely captivated. Just these two days, the eldest young master of the Gong family even bought your granddaughter a luxury car worth tens of millions!"
"I guess she didn't dare tell you about this?!"
"Xingkong, Xingchen is your sister after all. Even if you don't help her, you don't have to slander her like this, right?" Grandma was very angry.
Although the two sisters had never lived together and it was understandable that they had no feelings for each other, what grandma didn't expect was that Xia Xingkong, as the elder sister, could not tolerate her own younger sister.
"I, Xia Xingkong, have never had a younger sister." Xia Xingkong stared at her grandmother and said word by word with great determination. If Xia Xingchen had not existed, she would not be walking on thin ice now.
Grandma shook her head slightly, as if she couldn't accept this fact. She loved Xia Xingchen, but Xia Xingkong was also her granddaughter.
Xia Xingkong didn't care about her grandmother's feelings at all. She glanced at her grandmother with disdain, her eyes full of disgust. "Did you know that Xia Xingchen and I are participating in the same program now? And do you know who is the boss behind this program?"
As he spoke, Xia Xingkong deliberately moved closer to his grandmother, pressed his face against hers, and said word by word, "He is the eldest son of the Gong family."
Grandma was very thin, with little flesh on her face, and looked very haggard, but the wrinkles were clearly visible. The corners of her mouth twitched a little, but she still asked firmly, "What do you want to say?"
Xia Xingkong: "You know exactly what I want to say. If Xia Xingchen dares to use Gong Bingyu to gain power, I, Xia Xingkong, will make her suffer a fate worse than death."
We are of the same origin, so why rush to fight each other? Is this how Choi Jung-sook educates her daughter?!
Grandma wanted to cough because of Xia Xingkong's cough, but she couldn't cough. Her cloudy eyes met Xia Xingkong's vicious eyes, and she said helplessly: "Xingkong, you and your mother are exactly the same!"
Both mother and son are so blind!
With Xia Xingchen's ability, he doesn't need to rely on anyone to get to the top.
Speaking of this, Xia Xingkong was very fortunate. She said with a little pride: "Thank goodness my mother is not like you, a coward."
Hearing the word "coward", grandma coughed lightly.
Xia Xingkong pretended not to see it. She took a deep breath and said, "You stay here. I'm going back to sleep. I have to get up early for the competition tomorrow."
With that, she walked back. After a few steps, she suddenly remembered something, so she retreated to her grandmother's side and said mockingly, "By the way, I heard that you introduced Xia Xingchen to a guy a few days ago? Why is there no movement now? Is it because that guy also knows that Xia Xingchen is fickle, so he doesn't want her anymore?"
"You..." Grandma stared at Xia Xingkong, her face flushed red, unable to utter a word.
Seeing his grandmother like this, Xia Xingkong smiled and left without any mercy.
Five minutes after Xia Xingkong left, grandma's mouth was filled with liquid. Finally, her stomach turned upside down and large amounts of blood gushed out, spilling all over the floor!
Grandma's health was getting worse day by day, and she only appeared energetic in front of Xia Xingchen.

Today, [First Voice] stopped recording for one day. It was a decision made by Gong Bingye himself. He neither held a board meeting in advance nor told anyone. He stopped recording without authorization and replaced four judges.
