The moment she saw Xia Xingchen, Li Li forced a smile, "Xingchen, you're back, you're finally back."
Xia Xingchen followed her hand and saw the jar she was holding in her arms.
Li Li finally couldn't hold it back anymore when she mentioned the jar. The sadness and pain in her heart were released endlessly like a magnifying glass. She hugged Xia Xingchen tightly and cried bitterly, "Xingchen, Xiao... he's dead... he was burned to death by Xia Tian..."
"He didn't have to die. He did it to save me! He did it to save me!"
Li Li knew that Xiao liked her, but she never knew that Xiao liked her so much that he was willing to give up his life for her.
It was only after this incident that she suddenly realized that she had fallen in love with Xiao without realizing it.
But it's too late.
Ever since Xiao died, Li Li has refused to eat or drink. If her mother hadn't threatened to die to force her to eat something, she would have starved to death by now.
Even when Li Li ate, she only took two bites and stopped, as if she was completing a task.
It had only been a short time, but Li Li's body had become thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xia Xingchen patted Li Li gently to comfort her, as if to say: Don't worry, I will not let Xia Tian, the murderer, go.
Li Li cried for a long time before her tears stopped a little.
Xia Xingchen let her go, then she grabbed Li Li's hand and wrote on the palm of her hand: Do you want to see me avenge Xiao?
Li Li nodded frantically with swollen eyes.
She wants it more than anyone else.
Xia Xingchen took out his cell phone from his pocket and typed on the screen: If you want, do as I say.
Li Li glanced at the screen, and Xia Xingchen continued typing on it: "First, take a hot bath, have a full meal, and then have a good sleep. Only when you are fully rested will you have the energy to watch Xia Tian's reputation fall."
Li Li was silent. How could she be in the mood?!
Xia Xingchen did not force her, but pointed to the water cup outside. Mother Li seemed to understand what Xia Xingchen meant. She wiped away her tears, poured a glass of water for Li Li, turned and went to Li Li's bedroom, and handed the water to Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen didn't take it, but signaled with her eyes that Li's mother should pass the water to Li Li.
After Li's mother understood, she handed the water to Li Li and said, "Li Li, drink some water."
When Li Li looked up and reached out to get some water, she noticed that her mother's eyes were swollen from crying and there was visible white hair on her temples.
This white hair wasn't there some time ago.
She was suddenly startled and stopped taking the water. She looked at Li's mother in disbelief, as if she had never known her before.
Seeing this, Xia Xingchen continued typing on the screen, "Look, you are not the only one who is sad about Xiao's death, your parents are sad with you too. You have already lost Xiao, do you want to lose your parents too?"
There is no medicine for regret in this world.
Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Li Li suddenly woke up at this moment. She hugged her mother and cried, "Mom!"
Her tears had dried up, but she still couldn't help crying.
With a bang, the water cup in Li's mother's hand fell to the ground.
Seeing her daughter finally respond, Mother Li cried with joy, "Good girl."
Xia Xingchen stood up and looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, feeling envious in her heart.
Her mother... seemed... to have never hugged her like this before.
After leaving Li Li's house, the two got in the car and headed towards the palace.
In the car, Gong Bingye looked at Xia Xingchen from time to time. She didn't seem sad about Xiao's death?!
"Girl." Gong Bingye suddenly called her.
Xia Xingchen turned his head.
Gong Bingye hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Not only is Xiao dead, but even Peng Zhuo and Yi Kai committed suicide by jumping into the river."
Xia Xingchen had a blank expression on her face. She said nothing and turned her head to look out the window again.
At this time, Gong Bingye, who had been verified, felt comforted when he saw Xia Xingchen's attitude.
He thought: No matter whether it was the deceased Xiao, Pengzhuo and Yikai, neither of them wanted the girl to be sad because of their death.
If he died before her in the future, he didn't want to see the girl shed a tear for him.
He just hopes that she can live happily.
*
As soon as Xia Xingchen came back, someone reported to Xia Tian that Xia Xingchen had returned to China.
Xia Tian's sinister smile and the cruelty in his eyes were all reflected on his face. Seeing that the international competition was approaching, Xia Xingchen... came back at the right time.
This time, she wanted to completely uproot Xia Xingchen's foothold in the entertainment industry that she had finally established over the past two years.
The night before the competition, Gong Bingye asked Ke Junchen to check Xia Xingchen's throat again, and the result was the same as before.
Tomorrow is the day of the competition, and Xia Xingchen is still unable to speak. Doesn't this mean that Xia Xingchen has lost the game from the very beginning?
Gong Bingye worried about Xia Xingchen the whole night, but Xia Xingchen slept soundly.
Before they left, Ling Mei repeatedly pressed them, "Xingchen, why don't you just withdraw from this competition? You already have a high status in the entertainment industry. There's no need to wade into this mess again."
While speaking, Ling Mei kept covering her chest, she always felt uneasy.
Xia Xingchen was clearly the protagonist of this match, but Ling Mei seemed even more nervous than Xia Xingchen.
She held Ling Mei's hand in hers, smiling calmly, as if she didn't take the game seriously at all.
Xia Xingchen's expression made Ling Mei feel much more at ease.
Gong Bingye agreed, "Mom, don't worry, your daughter-in-law will be fine with me here."
Gong Nan put his arm around Ling Mei's shoulders and said lovingly, "Wife, just stay home and wait for Xingchen's good news. Look at her, she seems very confident."
Ling Mei had no choice but to compromise, "Okay then, I'll wait for your good news at home."
