Chapter 349: Chapter 347: Xu Li Extorts Someone_1

Lu Tingli nodded, "Slept for two days."

"That long..." Hearing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but rub her temples.

"Bao’er!" Mrs. Xia came with a nourishing pigeon soup, and seeing her awake, her eyes instantly reddened as she sat beside her, "Bao’er, how are you feeling now?"

Xia Jiehao and his brothers also looked at her with concern.

Tuanzi threw himself into her arms, crying out, "Sister!"

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, sister is fine." Seeing him about to cry, Xia Ningxing hurriedly patted his back to comfort him and then turned to Mrs. Xia and the others, "Everyone, rest assured, I’m fine, I’ve completely recovered."

"That’s good, here, this is the pigeon soup Mom specially made for you, very nutritious. Look at how thin your face has become, it’s almost unrecognizable!" Mrs. Xia said tearfully as she tried to feed her the soup.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

So thin as to be unrecognizable... that description is wildly exaggerated!

After Xia Ningxing finished drinking the pigeon soup, it was time for her to go back.

By this time, the other students’ rural outreach activities had also ended, and they were able to return.

After saying goodbye to Xiaohua and her mother, Xia Ningxing got into the car to head home.

She was in Lu Tingli’s car.

The girl nestled in the back seat like a little kitten.

The trip back was smooth sailing, without any incident.

However, back in Capital City, the matter of Xia Ningxing’s murder accusation had escalated.

It turned out that not only had the Wu family taken the Xia family to court, but they also sensationalized the matter to the reporters and media.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, two people had both fallen off a cliff, and one died while the other was unscathed, which clearly indicated that there was a conspiracy.

Furthermore, Xia Ningxing and Wu Wenwen already had conflicts and grievances.

So, Xia Ningxing had a full motive for murder.

At that moment, the media were condemning Xia Ningxing, insisting that the authorities must prosecute her.

The Xia family’s business rivals also fanned the flames, not hesitating to spend a lot of money to spread the matter further.

If a company is caught up in a scandal, the damage can be devastating.

Indeed, in less than a day, the sales at Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia’s companies and stores had plummeted, and there were even worse acts of vandalism such as throwing paint at their stores and rotten eggs at their company.

The Wu family even went as far as to hang banners and draped themselves in mourning clothes, crying outside the company.

At the school, relatives of the Wu family also held banners, pressuring the school to expel Xia Ningxing.

Now, if Xia Ningxing were to go out, she would undoubtedly be beaten to death on the spot.

Even during their return trip, they encountered blockade and pursuit on the road, with reporters and the public constantly confronting them.

They barely managed to make it home with assistance from the authorities.

"What are we going to do?" Once back home, Mrs. Xia became frantic with worry, pacing back and forth.

Her Bao’er was clearly innocent, but now everyone thought she was a murderer.

To make matters worse, they still didn’t have any solid evidence to prove it.

If they couldn’t prove her innocence, she would always bear the stain of being a murderer, even if she was not convicted.

As everyone was frantically trying to find a solution, next door, Old Mrs. Lu came over to add fuel to the fire, "Lu Tingli, what are you still doing here? Come back with me immediately!"

Upon hearing that her grandson had returned and was at the Xia house, she was immediately alarmed.

"Let me tell you, you need to break up with this murderer at once. Otherwise, if people find out you’re involved with this murderer in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, our Lu Family will also be dragged into this!" Old Mrs. Lu rambled on as she walked over on her tiny feet, reaching out to grab Lu Tingli.

"Shut up, Baby Xing is not some murderer!" Lu Tingli cast a cold glance at her.

His gaze was as icy as a block of ice and as fierce as a razor blade; Old Mrs. Lu was startled and froze on the spot, not daring to reach out to pull him anymore.

Lu Tingli had absolutely no affection for this foster grandmother, who he barely saw once a year and who now refused to leave their house.

Yes, foster grandmother.

Mr. Lu was not Old Mrs. Lu’s biological child but an adoptee.

Naturally, he was not her biological grandson either.

What Mrs. Xia dreaded the most was someone calling her daughter a murderer. Upon hearing Old Madam Lu’s words, her temper flared, and she immediately drove the woman out: "Your daughter is the murderer! Now get out!"

After chasing Old Mrs. Lu away, Mrs. Xia started to become anxious again, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

Xia Ningxing stood up from the sofa and, holding her mother’s hand in comfort, said, "Mom, don’t worry, the evidence will present itself."

Compared to the worry of her family members, who would have thought that Xia Ningxing, smeared as a murderer, would still be smiling, her face showing not the slightest panic, but instead a serene calmness?

Because just moments ago, she had suddenly dreamt that the evidence would come on its own.

Therefore, the more people who cursed her now, the better it was.

She could use this incident to make a big name for herself.

If the Wu family knew that they not only failed to tarnish her reputation but also made her famous enough to become a second-tier star, who knew if they would die of anger on the spot?

Upon hearing her, Mrs. Xia and the others all looked at her with puzzled faces, except for Lu Tingli: "Bao’er, what do you mean by that?"

How could the evidence just come on its own?

Has it grown legs?

"It’s just that..." Xia Ningxing was about to speak when she saw the nanny bringing someone in.

The visitor was Xu Li.

Xia Ningxing glanced at the other party and was not surprised.

"Who is this?" Mrs. Xia and the others showed their curiosity.

The nanny quickly answered, "Madam, she says she is the young miss’s friend and has a way to help prove the young miss’s innocence, so I brought her here."

Knowing that everyone was worried about the issue, the nanny had immediately brought Xu Li over when she heard she might help.

After Mrs. Xia glanced at Xia Ningxing and saw that she did not deny it, it seemed that this person was indeed her schoolmate.

And thinking of her earlier words about having a way to help Xia Ningxing, Mrs. Xia immediately got excited and took hold of her hand, "Girl, please tell us, what can you do to help my daughter?"

"I indeed have a way, but I’m not sure about the sincere intentions of your family..."

As she spoke, Xu Li eyed their lavish home with envy and calculation.

The life of a wealthy family truly was luxurious.

But soon, she too would become rich!

Mrs. Xia was no fool and clearly understood her implication. The smile on her face faded slightly as she got straight to the point, "Girl, just say how much you want directly."

"Five hundred thousand!" Xu Li seemed to have thought it over already, or perhaps had been waiting for such a question, and blurted it out at once.

She had instantly thought of extorting a sum of money from the Xia family after discovering that a camera had incidentally caught a photo of Wu Wenwen pushing Xia Ningxing off the cliff.

After all, they were rich!

So they deserved it!

Mrs. Xia nodded, "No problem."

If five hundred thousand could buy her daughter’s innocence, it was worth it!

"Wait!" Seeing how quickly she agreed, Xu Li suddenly felt she had made a huge mistake. Her eyes spinning, she immediately opened her mouth wide, "I suddenly think five hundred thousand is too little. After all, this concerns Xia Ningxing’s future and her entire life. Your family should give me a million!!"
