Who are they to cut ties with her?

Qingdu City, Xia Family Villa. 

Xia Mingzhou who was taking a nap, was woken up by the ringing of her phone. Reluctantly, she fumbled for her phone on the bedside table and answered the call when she saw that the caller's name was 'Lai Li'. 

"Lai Li, what is it?" Xia Mingzhou questioned, groggily sitting up.

"Mingzhou, have you checked Weibo?" Lai Li asked with anxiousness in her voice. 

Xia Mingzhou, who was still groggy and attempting to make sense of her friend's remark, didn't hear Lai Li's urgency, "What?"

"I said, check Weibo! We're dead!" Lai Li yelled again on the other end of the phone, and Xia Mingzhou's thoughts, which had been fuzzy from sleep for a while, cleared up.

"Okay, okay, gosh, you could have just chatted to me about it, I was sleeping for goodness sake," Xia Mingzhou grumbled then she hung up the phone.
