When Xia Weilan saw the crowd in the store was in order, she talked to the store manager for a while and left. She walked toward the lift.

The moment the lift door opened, 2nd Master Xia was inside. He appeared to be in a good mood. However, the moment he saw Xia Weilan, his face immediately turned sour and he shot her a very displeased glance before stepping out from the lift..

Xia Weilan watched as 2nd Master Xia left. He headed to the Xia Family’s jewelry store.

As one of the company’s shareholders, it is not surprising for him to do the store inspection. So, Xia Weilan ignored him and went straight into the lift.

“Uneducated wrench!” 2nd Master Xia turned around and stared at the closed lift doors.

When he recalled that Old Master Xia had transferred the old mansion to this girl, he was furious. He felt as if someone had stolen the money from his pocket and used it blatantly. His eyes were fuming as he thought about it.

Xia Weilan reached the car park level. As soon as she stepped out of the lift, she noticed there were two men standing beside her car, looking around.

When they saw Xia Weilan approaching, they immediately walked up to her, “Where are you going, young lady? How about I take you to a nice place?”

The two men cast a dirty look at Xia Weilan and extended their hand to drag her to their car.

Xia Weilan narrowed her eyes and shook off their hands. She said in a deep voice, “Who sent you here?”

The two men entrapped Xia Weilan. One of them took out a spray bottle and looked at her sternly.

Xia Weilan swept a glance at his hand. However, she wasn’t worried at all. With her capability, these two were of no match to her. But she didn’t take any action.

“Aren’t you going to come out? How long do you intend to watch?”

Xia Weilan’s voice wasn’t too loud but they were clearly audible from all corners of the parking lot.

The two men looked at Xia Weilan suspiciously. Just when one of them was about to use the spray to take down Xia Weilan. Someone suddenly grabbed his wrists from behind, and he couldn’t move at all. He felt pains shooting up his wrists and he dropped the spray on the ground.

The other man managed to react. Before he could do anything, a kick landed on him and sent him flying. His body slammed onto a car and he fell to the ground. He couldn’t get on his feet again.

An Shan remained calm and collected as she searched the two men for their mobile phones. The two men moaned in pain on the ground.

“Your skills aren’t bad at all!” Xia Weilan hugged her shoulders and looked at An Shan appreciatively.

“Didn’t you refuse to take action just to see my performance? I certainly have to put in some extra effort. Otherwise, how can I satisfy you, Miss Xia?”

An Shan stepped on a man’s body without blinking.

After that, she quickly checked the mobile phone that she retrieved. She looked up and said, “The last person they contacted was 2nd Master Xia.”

Xia Weilan was a little surprised. An Shan grabbed the wrist of the man under her feet and dragged him up, “How dare you try to make a move on Mo Beichen’s people? Are you tired of being alive !”

Those hooligans looked horrified, and begged An Shan for mercy, “Big sister, We just took the money from 2nd Master Xia. We just wanted to intimidate her only. We never really intended to do anything to her. Please spare us.”

“You can save your breaths and tell these to the police.” An Shan said coldly. She no longer appeared calm and peaceful.

Xia Weilan was really satisfied. She got into the car as she believed that An Shan would be able to take care of the rest properly.

It’s just that Xia Weilan didn’t expect An Shan to take action so promptly. She saw the police car passing by on her way out of the mall.

Xia Weilan slowed down the car. She wondered that perhaps the moment she got out of the elevator, An Shan had already noticed something amiss and had called the police during that time.

2nd Master Xia who was happily excited when he saw the store bursting with customers. He then saw two policemen walking towards him and surrounded him, “2nd Master Xia, please come with us.”

“What’s the matter?” he asked with a guilty conscience.

“You are suspected of kidnapping, please follow us.” The police said in a formal manner.

He was taken down by two police officers. Xia Ruolin who was in the store looked in the direction where they were left. Kidnapping? Who was kidnapped?

Xia Ruolin kept wondering what had happened.

It was noontime when Xia Weilan returned to the office. Old Master Xia had just arrived at the office and was in the chairman’s office. He praised Xu Liangcai, “Mr. Xu, you did a good job this time by writing good context on the company’s website to bring in traffic. In just less than 4 hours, the company’s jewelry sales hit more than 100 million dollars!”

“I’m just taking advantage of the situation!” Xu Liangcai said modestly.

“Haha, Mr. Xu, you’re being modest. You hold a double master’s degree in finance and management, I can be rest assured of your ability. Here is the 1 million dollars bonus given to you by the company.”

Old Master Xia handed over the cheque in his hand. Xu Liangcai reached out and took it. He said in a polite and respectful manner, “Thank you, chairman.”

" "

At this moment, Xia Weilan knocked on the door and walked in. She was surprised to see Xu Liangcai in the office. She quickly walked over.

“My child, how’s the situation in the mall?” Although Old Master Xia already learned about the sales record today, he still asked.

“The shopping mall is packed with customers. The company has sent a lot of people as backups to help out. I think this batch of jewelry is most likely to be sold out in less than a week. We’ll need to order more.”

“Mr. Xu, we’ll have to bother you to put more attention on this matter.” Old Master Xia said to Xu Liangcai approvingly.

Xu Liangcai responded and walked out of the office.

“My child, you’ve worked hard. Let’s accompany grandpa for lunch. I’ll reward you for your hard work recently.” The Old Master stood up and walked out with Xia Weilan.

In the middle of the meal, Old Master Xia answered a phone call and then threw the phone on the table with a hideous expression.

“Grandpa?” Xia Weilan stopped eating and asked.

The old master looked at Xia Weilan apologetically, “My child, you’ve suffered. I didn’t expect the 2nd master would do such a thing to you. He’s really a lowlife!”

Xia Weilan understood what’s going on. She comforted, “Grandpa, I’m alright. Moreover, Beichen sent someone to protect me. Nothing bad will happen to me. The second master is suffering from his own misconduct now. I guess he will have to spend a few days in the detention center.”

“Sigh. I owe you this. What is the use of having all this wealth in the Xia family? They’re all a bunch of wolf-hearted and greedy people.” The Old Master let out a sigh and his tone sounded a little heavy.

Xia Weilan immediately patted the old master’s back to help him calm down. She couldn’t help but start to feel worried about him, fearing that he would get anxious again.

Luckily, Old Master Xia calmed down quickly.

“My child, I will transfer my shares to you this afternoon.”

He was determined. He didn’t wish to see the greedy faces of those in the Xia family anymore. He felt that he would be more at ease by passing shares to Xia Weilan earlier.

As for Xia Ruolin, he planned to pass her some other assets in his hands. The other joint venture real estate that he invested in is enough for Xue Zhiqing’s family to live a lifetime.

And for the 2nd Master, of course, he would not pass anything to him. Because 40 years ago, the Xia family had already passed on the inheritance and 2nd Master Xia owns 20% of the company’s shares.

“Grandpa, we’ll talk about this later in the near future. You are still healthy. I still plan to study by your side for a few more years.” Xia Weilan poured a glass of water for her grandpa.

The old master took a few sips. But he already made up his mind. This matter is indeed a bit hasty. He would take care of this matter for the next two days, allocate the assets, and then set up a will.
