Early the next morning, Zhen Shuangyan and Xia Guangxue came to pick up Xia Yining from the hospital.
Xia Guangxue was responsible for the discharge procedures, while mother and daughter waited in the ward.
Xia Yining took the excuse of going to the restroom. Zhen Shuangyan didn't suspect a thing, and while she wasn't paying attention, Xia Yining slipped out through the wide-open door.
By the time she realized something was wrong, Xia Yining was already nowhere to be found.
"That Xia Yining, she's going to drive me crazy!" Zhen Shuangyan was furious but couldn't get through to Xia Yining on the phone.
Xia Yining had some cash in her pocket and called Lu Xichen as soon as she left the hospital. "I've made it out, but I have no money on hand."
Her pockets clearly filled with cash, yet she declared her lack of money quite righteously.
Though it's true she wanted to topple Xia Yueqing, Xia Yining wasn't so kind-hearted to help this spoiled princess for free.
