<h4>Chapter 149 Settle ounts with the Xia Family</h4>


    Xia Xiaoluo was not dead. Seeing her, Xia Jingru who had been very happy these days fell into hell at once. Her eyes were full of fear. Especially when she saw the cold light from Ling Tianyi’s eyes, which was like thousands of ice knives stabbing her.


    “Xia Xiaoluo, what are you going to do with this vicious woman?” Yao Sheng came close to Xia Xiaoluo, but he was kicked by Ling Tianyi because Ling Tianyi didn’t like any man came close to Xia Xiaoluo, even if he was Yao Sheng.


    “Xiaoluo, don’t be soft-hearted. Don’t solve the problem only by eating a meal like me. You must be cruel to her. I’ll help you till you’re satisfied!” Yao Sheng sat aside, but he kept talking to Xia Xiaoluo.


    Ling Tianyi wanted to punish Xia Jingru privately. Although he wouldn’t kill Xia Jingru, he would still punish her severely.


    In fact, Xia Xiaoluo hated Xia Jingru deeply, but it was difficult for her to punish her in case that Xia Youfeng was her father, and Xia Jingru was her sister. After all, if the two sisters were not in good rtionship, it would be difficult for her father to deal with the problem. It was not a glorious thing to make other people know it.


    Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo’s hesitation, Xia Jingru clenched her teeth and knelt down in front of Xia Xiaoluo. “Xiaoluo, I used to be bad to you. I must be crazy to do those dirty things to you. I regretted it. Fortunately, you are all right! Otherwise, I will be uneasy forever.”


    Xia Jingru took a few steps forward with her knees, being close to Xia Xiaoluo. “Xiaoluo, after all, we are sisters. Our surname is Xia. I know I’ve made a big mistake. But I still hope you can forgive me. I swear that I will never trouble or hurt you again. And if someone is not kind to you, I must be the first one to protect you. Please, let me go! Just for father’s sake, and spare me this time! OK?”


    Xia Jingru’s face was full of tears. She knelt in front of Xia Xiaoluo and looked at Xia Xiaoluo pitifully. In fact, she hated Xia Xiaoluo very much in her heart.


    “Xia Xiaoluo, you can’t be soft-hearted!” Yao Sheng said anxiously. Xia Xiaoluo was pushed into the well by Xia Jingrust time and she almost died. Yao Sheng knew it clearly. Even as a bystander, he wanted to beat Xia Jingru severely, so he could not wait to punish Xia Jingru.


    Xia Xiaoluo ignored Yao Sheng. She said to Xia Jingru coldly: “Xia Jingru, I know exactly what kind of person you are, so I don’t believe you!”


    “Well done!” Yao Sheng began to p his hands immediately.


    Ling Tianyi nodded with satisfaction. He was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would be soft-hearted and asked him to let Xia Jingru go. If Xia Jingru was not punished, his anger wouldn’t be suppressed.


    “Xiaoluo, what I said is true. I admit that I used to treat you badly. I often cheat and bully you. But now it’s different. As Manager Ling being your big backer, I want to tter you instead of offending you! I will never bully you anymore.” Xia Jingru cried. She was very frightened. When she hid in Macao, her mother Zhu Yufen told her a lot about Ling Tianyi’s power so she was really afraid of Ling Tianyi.


    “Humph! I feel ufortable when I see you. I want you to leave Dwichen’s College!” Xia Xiaoluo did not let Yao Sheng hit Xia Jingru, instead she asked her to drop out of school actively.


    Ling Tianyi frowned slightly. He thought the punishment was too slight. However, if Xia Jingru was not in Dwichen’s College, less people would bully Xia Xiaoluo and it was not a bad thing. It would be better if Xia Xiaoluo proposed to let Fang Ruichen and Ouyang Ziqian drop out of school.


    “Xiaoluo, I’m only eighteen years old and a few months older than you. You let me leave school. What can I do if I don’t go to school?” Xia Jingru was reluctant to quit school because Fang Ruichen was still in Dwichen’s College. Dwichen’s College was the top aristocratic university in A City. It was glorious to be a student here so she didn’t want to leave. She didn’t want to lose the aura of Dwichen’s College, not to say go ordinary colleges with the children from poor families.


    “Xiaoluo, please, don’t let me leave school. It takes dad a lot of effort to send me here. Or dad’s efforts will be in vain. Moreover, I’m in the Business Department, and you are in the Arts Department. It’s difficult for us to meet each other. I will also try my best to avoid you.” Xia Jingru begged Xia Xiaoluo. She did not know that Ling Tianyi was unsatisfied with her.


    Xia Xiaoluo did not speak, but Ling Tianyi asked leisurely: “Xia Jingru, do you really regret it?”


    “Yes! Of course!” Xia Jingru nodded constantly, seeing the hope from Ling Tianyi’s words.


    “Well! Very good! I heard that you and your mother were in Macao for nearly a month. Although Macao is not as interesting as other ces, there are much delicious food. Have you brought some food or other small gifts to Xiaoluo? Apologizing is not just a matter of lip service, but taking out something real.” Ling Tianyi said lightly. Although he was not angry, his eyes were still very cold.


    Ling Tianyi’s question shocked Xia Jingru.


    Zhu Yufen bought a lot of things in Macao and nned to send them to Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi as gifts. They decided to apologize in person. However, she heard that Xia Xiaoluo was kicked to death by a horse, and Ling Tianyi did not care about Xia Xiaoluo so she thought that the matter was over. She ate some food by herself, and gave the other food and small gifts to her friends who yed with her in the bar. She did not have anything now.


    Ling Tianyi was also smart. Due to Xia Jingru’s reaction and her selfish and greedy nature, he guessed that the gifts Yao Sheng said must have been dissipated by them. That was why he asked her deliberately.


    Xia Jingru bowed her head and said to Ling Tianyi: “Of course, I bought lots of things. I will take them to you in two days to apologize.”


    Xia Jingru thought that Macao was not too far. She could fly back and buy something again. But now she could not admit that the gifts she nned to give Xia Xiaoluo were sent to others.


    Ling Tianyi saw Xia Jingru’s expression and knew what was going on. He smiled: “Apologize in a few days? That’s too much trouble! Anyway, Xiaoluo and I have time today. We can go home with you and see the gifts you prepared for Xiaoluo. Let’s see if your gifts can make me believe that you want to apologize to Xiaoluo sincerely.”


    “Today... Today I... My parents are not at home.” Xia Jingru hesitated.


    “It doesn’t matter. There’s no need to trouble your parents.” Ling Tianyi determined to punish Xia Jingru, so he wouldn’t give Xia Jingru any chance.


    “Let’s go, Xia Jingru!” Yao Sheng pulled Xia Jingru’s hair, walking outside the restaurant.


    For fear that Xia Xiaoluo was not full, Ling Tianyi fed Xia Xiaoluo some rice with chicken soup. Then he took Xia Xiaoluo to Yao Sheng’s Hummer.


    Xia Jingru was worried all the way. In fact, Xia Youfeng and Zhu Yufen were both at home. She cheated Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo, wondering what would happenter. Xia Jingru wanted to send a message to Zhu Yufen, but Yao Sheng’s eyes were so sharp that he threw her mobile phone out of the window as soon as she touched it.


    If anyone dared to grab her cell phone, she would revenge in normal times. But this time, she was afraid, daring not to get angry.


    Finally, Yao Sheng stopped his Hummer at the gate of Xia’s vi. Ling Tianyi took care of Xia Xiaoluo who just set the broken bones, while Yao Sheng pulled Xia Jingru roughly. Xia Jingru fell down directly at the door of the car when she got off.


    Xia Jingru broke her stockings and her knees were injured, but she dared not to cry but to clench her teeth. Xia Jingru stood up reluctantly and took them into the house.


    “My daughter! Why are you back at this time? Don’t you have a party with your friends? Why are you in a mess?” Zhu Yufen pulled Xia Jingru and looked at her dirty face. Xia Jingru’s hair was messy and her knees were broken. Zhu Yufen couldn’t help nagging.


    “Mom! Xiaoluo ising!” Xia Jingru endured the pain of her knees. She had to convey the bad news to her mother at the first time, in order to make her prepare for this.


    “Xiaoluo? Isn’t she dead? Impossible!” Zhu Yufen was shocked, feeling that the sky was going to copse.


    Yao Sheng came in immediately and Ling Tianyi helped Xia Xiaoluo to walk slowly into the gate of the Xia family.


    “Xiaoluo, Manager Ling...” Zhu Yufen did not know what to do for a while, but she was smart. She was very frightened, but she immediately adjusted her mood and said with a big smile: “Xiaoluo, Manager Ling, you seldome here! Come in, please!”


    “Lao Xia! Xiaoluo and Manager Ling areing.” Zhu Yufen shouted to Xia Youfeng who was in the study on the second floor when she entertained guests.


    Xia Youfeng was also shocked, but after all, he was an experienced businessman, who could calm down and came to them quickly.


    “Xia Youfeng, your daughter said that you and your wife are not at home, and she don’t want us toe. Unexpectedly, you are all here!” Yao Sheng was the first to speak. Xia Jingru bit her lips and bowed her head without knowing what to do.


    Xia Youfeng was stunned for a moment, but then heughed immediately: “Well, a friend invites us today, but the dinner is canceled because he has something urgent to do. Jingru isn’t at home, so we didn’t tell her. Unexpectedly, such a trifle leads to misunderstanding.”


    Xia Youfeng nced secretly at Ling Tianyi. Seeing his cold face, he could not help feeling anxious. He knew that Ling Tianyi would not bother him if nothing. Today, Ling Tianyi muste to settle ounts with the Xia family.
