Her things were all thrown in the hallway.
Her bolster was broken and the feathers were all scattered. Her porcelain was also shattered, and it was scattered about like a joke.
Li Bingman had never imagined that anyone would dare do this to her. She was so mad her feet turned cold and she was at a loss as to how to react. Sounds of laughter came from the room at the end of the corridor. It sounded so ear-piercing to her.
Li Bingman finally came to her senses and charged into the room quickly. She shouted loudly, “Xia Ling!”
The room went silent at once. Seven or eight girls turned to look at her, their faces full of surprise and looks of “you’re not welcomed”. In a place surrounded by people, Xia Ling was sitting on the edge of a wooden table, a translucent ice-cracked glass vase beside her. It was filled with clear water and an evergreen plant. The sun shone through the leaves of the plant onto the delicate and small face of the girl, making her look like a fairy who had mistakenly entered the human world.
How could she be so leisurely, how could she be so beautiful?!
“Get down!” Li Bingman couldn’t help but say. At this moment, she was completely without bearing. “This room is clearly mine, if you don’t get lost now, you’ll get it from me!”
“What can you even do to me?” Xia Ling smiled softly. She put her hands on the table and swung her white calves. “Drag me out? Complain to the Principal or your sister? I’m very curious.”
Li Bingman was furious, but hearing Xia Ling’s questions, she really couldn’t come up with an answer.
Drag Xia Ling out? It was impossible for her to do that along with the few people around her. They had all just finished running and their physical strengths were almost at the limit, but what about Xia Ling’s side? There were a lot of people, and they were all waiting at their ease for the exhausted enemy.
Complain to the Principal? Don’t be silly, Principal Sha was clearly biased towards Xia Ling!
Li Bingman had still not figured out why he was so biased towards Xia Ling. Perhaps it was to maintain the school’s traditions and rules. After all, Xia Ling was the righteous Chief. However, this Principal Sha was too old-fashioned, how could a simple new Chief compete with the younger sister of a Diva?
What’s more, the Chief of the Training Camp changed every year according to the test scores. It was still unknown whether Xia Ling would be able to preserve her Chief position in the next semester!
Li Bingman felt that this Principal Sha really didn’t know how to play the game.
When she became famous, she was sure to rectify this Principal!
But that was all in the future. Now, she held her hands bound in the face of his decisions.
As for looking for her sister? It was unrealistic. It wasn’t that easy to be the Diva. Although it seemed glamorous on the surface, in private, she had to endure more difficulties and invest more time than ordinary people. Sister was extremely busy every day. If she were to bother her with this little matter, Sister was sure to be furious. She didn’t dare to provoke her Sister.
Li Bingman looked at Xia Ling and realized she couldn’t do anything to her.
In desperation, she surveyed the people around Xia Ling. “You are all following her? Don’t regret it!”
“Is this the way you talk to a senior?” A senior Chief was dissatisfied and reprimanded Li Bingman from high-above. “I don’t care what your background is, but since you’re in the Training Camp, you must follow its rules, understand?”
She had originally been apprehensive towards Li Bingman, but after Xia Ling had taken out so many Swiss sweets, branded bags, and scarves, this senior Chief had found out that Xia Ling might be even bigger than Li Bingman. Even Principal Sha was standing on the side of Xia Ling, then she must be right to decide on this.
Li Bingman was furious. “Don’t go overboard!”
“I advise you not to be a disgrace here.” Xia Ling finished eating candy and licked her fingers. “Hurry up and find a place you can stay while the sky has yet to turn dark. Otherwise, it’s not my business if the cleaner treats the things in the corridor as garbage and throws them away.”
“You!” Now that she was talking about this, Li Bingman suddenly remembered. “You spoiled so many of my things, do you know how valuable they are? What can you use to pay for them?”
“Oh, I’m really sorry.” Although Xia Ling was saying sorry, there wasn’t a hint of apology in her tone. “Those things were valuable? Why didn’t I think so? For example, that set of teacups, the pattern is so ugly, what kind of aesthetic taste must someone have to endure using it?”
“Hahaha…” Many girls in the room laughed.
A follower of Li Bingman said, “That’s because you’re ignorant. That teacup set is from Bingman’s Sister, that is, a handcrafted set that Li Bingyu brought back from abroad. There’s only one set in the whole world and it’s super precious! Xia Ling, you won’t be able to afford it even if you use your entire family’s fortune!”
“Who are you kidding?” Xia Ling snorted. She picked up a candy casually and tossed it up and down absent-mindedly. “Handcrafted? The only set in the world? Go find random pottery when you’re out and get Xiao Hua and the rest to burn a set. That, too, would be handmade and the only one in the world.”
“Yes,” Xiao Hua suppressed her laughter and said. “It’s so precious.”
Li Bingman was about to explode with anger. “You have to pay me for the things you broke!”
Xia Ling said calmly, “Why would your things be broken if you hadn’t put them in my room in the first place? When I see something that doesn’t belong to me, it’s only natural that I treat them like garbage.”
“You’re shameless!” Li Bingman couldn’t help but scream.
“Haha.” Xia Ling was too lazy to pay attention to her. She reached out and covered her mouth and yawned. “I’m tired, quickly get out of here and take your pile of rubbish too. Or else, I’ll call the cleaner to put them together with the trash later.”
Li Bingman glared at her furiously with red eyes. She desperately wanted to tear her fearless face, but a wise man doesn’t fight against impossible odds. She endured it and suppressed her anger forcefully, then turned to walk out. The few lackeys that followed Li Bingman looked at each other in dismay. No way, they had rushed here fiercely to send punitive forces against Xia Ling, but in the end, they didn’t get any advantage and were instead chased out by her? Was it really the right decision to follow Li Bingman?
What made them even more jealous and angry was what followed behind.
After a few days, news spread in the Training Camp. This newly-born Chief had just brought in several Hermes scarves from home and had given one to each of the girls who had come to help and be guests on the day she moved.
It turns out she was not a poor girl at all, she was a hidden “Miss Perfect”!
And following her would bring advantages!
Many people who had followed Li Bingman was still struggling to run in the field. They had not gotten any benefits, and also had to endure the cold face of Li Bingman every day. In contrast, the bliss at Xia Ling’s side was like paradise.
One after another, people betrayed Li Bingman and expressed their intention of being loyal to Xia Ling.
Xia Ling was of course very happy. She did not have much desire for power, but she was happy with anything that could make Li Bingman unhappy. She smiled and accepted all the people who had defected over to her and gave them gifts of considerable value as well.
