Chapter 566: Small Accident

Xia Ling heard her phone ringing.

Her mind was dizzy. Changing her position, she buried her head in the blanket and continued sleeping.

The phone continued to ring ceaselessly.

She finally could not help but answer it. With a nasal voice, she asked, "Hello?"

"Where are you? Do you know what time it is? This TV job appointment was made a week ago. Now, the entire program group is waiting for you. I give you half an hour, you better get here or else!" A voice roared through the phone, making Xia Ling so scared that her hand shook and she almost dropped her phone. She regained her composure and realized that it was Lin Yunan.

"I'm sick." She weakly said.

"Sick? I don't care if you're infected with a zombie virus. You better get here or else!" Lin Yunan was very irritable. "It's Peace TV channel, do you know that?! You can stand someone who is bigger than you up!"

Xia Ling finally remembered this job and was about to cry.

"Ok, I will be there." She cried over the phone. Tolerating her discomfort, she got out of bed. Her head was heavy, and she almost fell down. Looking down, she realized that she was still wearing the champagne-colored strapless evening gown from yesterday night. The skirt was already dirty and crumpled because she fell down a few times.

There was no time to shower.

She changed into clean clothes as quickly as possible, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and stuffed it into a cap. She put on a pair of sunglasses and walked out of the door.

At the bedroom doorway, she passed by an empty room.

A faint dispute was heard behind the door.

She suspected that she was hallucinating. Why did she hear Li Lei's voice? Curiously, she opened the door. Sure enough, Li Lei was there, and he was shooting daggers at Pei Ziheng. Both of their expressions were very ugly.

Seeing that she had entered, both of them fell silent for a moment.

"Xiao Ling." Li Lei reacted first. "Why are you with him?!"

Xia Ling bit her lip. She twisted her ankle, fell sick, and was upset the entire night waiting for his news. In the end, the first thing he asked why she was with Pei Ziheng?! "You left with Nangong Qingya but you don't allow me to look for other people?" She could not help but rebuke.

Li Lei's expression darkened. Initially, he was still hoping that the scene in the bedroom with Pei Ziheng was not what he imagined, but unexpectedly, she admitted that she went to look for another man!

He secretly tightened his fists.

Xia Ling was groggy. Her head hurt, and her feet were sore. Furthermore, she was in a bad mood and being hurried by her manager, so she did not notice the strange atmosphere or the abnormal way Pei Ziheng dressed. She turned around to walk out. "You can continue talking. I have a job to do."

"I'll send you." Pei Ziheng rushed forward.

"No need." Xia Ling rejected. "I have my own car." She already parked her red Porsche in the garage of the villa and usually drove herself.

"After enduring so much last night, your body is still very weak. How can you drive yourself?" Pei Ziheng's voice was low and ambiguous. "How about I ask the chauffeur to send you there?"

Li Lei's expression became uglier. What did he mean by that?! He looked at Xia Ling and gritted his teeth. "You're not allowed to get on his car. I will send you there."

If he did not say the words "not allowed," perhaps Xia Ling would have let him drive her there.

Unfortunately, that command triggered her. "Li Lei, do you think that the world revolves around you? Do you think I must listen to whatever you say? Yesterday you told me to wait, and I waited. However, where were you? How are you qualified to continue ordering me around?!"

"I..." Li Lei wanted to say something.

Xia Ling's phone rang again. She took it out and realized that it was still Lin Yunan.

She slammed her finger on the reject button. Bluntly, she told Li Lei, "Li Lei, I'm very busy now and don't want to fight with you. Neither of you two needs to send me there. I have my own hands and feet. Goodbye!"

After that, she continued to limp downstairs in a rage.

"Xiao Ling!" Li Lei chased after her.

Pei Ziheng grabbed hold of him. "Li Lei, it's time we talked about the problem between us. Since you already have Nangong Qingya, stop pestering Xiao Ling. Let her be with someone who can give her happiness."

"Who? You?" Li Lei sneered. "Pei Ziheng, why are you so shameless?"

Both of them started arguing again. In the meantime, Xia Ling had already gone downstairs and started her car in the garage. She was sick so she drove slowly. The resounding voices of the two men arguing kept echoing in her head like ten thousand ducks quacking. Although she was more careful, she was still met with an accident.

Her Porsche hit a Cadillac in front of her. The car was deformed, and it was quite serious.

Luckily, there were no casualties. A man and a woman came out of the Cadillac. The man wore a flower shirt and had a sly look as he held a woman who was wearing heavy makeup.

Xia Ling endured her headache and opened the door. "Mister, I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I will repay you for the damages caused. This is my assistant's business card, you can contact..."

Before she could finish, the other party already recognized her. "Ye Xingling?"

Startled, she finally realized that she was really muddle-headed. She forgot to wear her sunglasses when she got off the car.

"It's me." She tried her best to sound polite. "I'm in a rush, so please contact my assistant..."

"I don't think it has to be so troublesome." The other party smiled with intent and pushed the business card back to her. He also stroked her delicate soft hand, refusing to let go. "It's only a small dent, Miss Ye. You don't have to worry. How about we become friends and have a cup of coffee together?"

Xia Ling tried her best to retract her hand. She knew that she ran into trouble after hitting a rich playboy's car.

She looked at the other party and her expression darkened. "I really am in a rush."

After that, she went back into her car.

This was a beautiful boulevard. As it was not the peak period, there were few cars. That man was insatiable and grabbed her arm. "Don't be like this. It's only a cup of coffee."

She realized that she could not walk away. She was too polite when reprimanding the other party, and he did not take it to heart. Even his female partner laughed and urged, "Miss Ye, our Brother Long is really good. He won't treat you poorly. Let's have some fun and make things lively. Don't be such a buzzkill. How much do you want? Name a price."

What did they take her as?!

She could not escape the other party's grip, and the other party refused to listen to reason. In a hurry, she took her exquisite phone from the car and quickly pressed 110.

"I've called the police!" She coldly said. "The police will come here to settle this accident!"
