“Nonsense! You are an elder, how can you make this kind of joke with a younger generation. You even mentioned that you wanted to expel her. It’s okay that you are not capable in the office, this child has won so many projects for the company. And yet you still want to drive her out! You really have nothing better to do. !” Old Master Xia knocked his cane on the ground heavily. He was very annoyed by 2nd Master Xia’s behavior these days, and he was so furious that he was almost out of breath.

2nd Master Xia’s expression was really hideous. Old Master Xia actually said all these in front of so many people. He flicked his sleeves and left with a grimed face.

The moment he walked past Xia Ruolin, he gave Xia Ruolin fierce glare. It was Xia Ruolin who said she would cooperate and let him deal with Xia Weilan. During a critical moment, Xia Ruolin didn’t even let out a fart and just stood there, watching him getting embarrassed!

Ouyang Mingqi emptied the wine in his hand in a gulp. He lowered his voice and said to Xia Ruolin, “If you want the ownership of the company, There is not to be afraid of this 2nd Master. But the old master is still physically strong. With him around, there’s no knowing how long you will have to wait.”

“What do you mean?” Xia Ruolin slowly raised her eyes and looked into his ice-cold eyes. They were dangerous yet charming.

“Kill him!” Ouyang Mingqi leaned closer to her ear and whispered in a low and bewitching voice. But the words he said made Xia Ruolin pale.

“Let’s find a place to chat!” Ouyang Mingqi pulled away from her ear.

Xia Ruolin frowned, but still followed Ouyang Mingqi.

In the room, Ouyang Mingqi closed the door and immediately hugged Xia Ruolin’s waist, pressing her against the door panel. He said earnestly, “I have always missed you.”

Xia Ruolin’s expression changed. She immediately struggled, “Ouyang Mingqi, we’re just collaborating with each other. Don’t try to fool me with your hypocritical show of affection. Let go of me.”

Xia Ruolin stared at him with her clear eyes and said in determination.

Ouyang Mingqi’s expression changed. He raised his eyebrows and let go of Xia Ruolin. He walked onto the sofa and said faintly to her, “Sit down.”

His expression changed faster than flipping a book. Xia Ruolin was more cautious now and walked over defensively.

Ouyang Mingqi looked at Xia Ruolin with a mocking expression, “Didn’t you enjoy yourself last time? I don’t believe you didn’t ponder over it.”

“Disgusting!” Xia Ruolin glared at him with disgust.

Ouyang Mingqi curled his lips indifferently, “Don’t tell me that Miss Xia is not looking forward to it as well? Otherwise, you won’t be sitting here with me.”

Xia Ruolin stood up furiously and was about to leave.

“Wait!” Ouyang Mingqi immediately held her back, “Let’s get down to business.”

Xia Ruolin turned her head and stared at Ouyang Mingqi coldly, “Are you asking me to kill someone?”

“You’ll just be making his body degenerate slowly, Nobody will know it.” Ouyang Mingqi was speaking faintly as if was talking about something casual.

夏若琳的脊背立马滑过一道冷战,眼里闪过一抹挣扎,想起老爷子居然一心一意要将家产给夏蔚蓝,就咬紧了牙:

A chill went down Xia Ruolin’s spine immediately. She struggled for a while but gritted her teeth when she remembered that the old master was determined to pass down all the inheritance to Xia Weilan.

“How long will it take?”

“Three months.”

“That’s too long!” Xia Ruolin looked at him coldly.

“How about a month?” Ouyang Mingqi was surprised, but he showed no expression.

Xia Ruolin walked to him and looked into his eyes, “How to do it.”

At this moment, Ouyang Mingqi’s mobile phone rang and the screen lit up. Xia Ruolin looked at it subconsciously and saw the text message, ‘I’ve already dealt with his daughter, and his father agreed to invest. It’s really a test of time.”

Xia Ruolin frowned and looked up at Ouyang Mingqi, “You’d better don’t pull such tricks on me.”

Ouyang Mingqi chuckled lightly. He didn’t panic after being exposed.

He took out a note from his pocket with a phone number written on it and handed it to Xia Ruolin, “You can contact this person for the poison and he will explain the effect of the poison to you. He’ll pass you something that will satisfy you”

“Why don’t you pass me the medicine directly?”

“This is all I can help you with.” Ouyang Mingqi replied cunningly. He didn’t want to dirty his hands at all. He wanted Xia Ruolin to do it herself.

“What you think is pretty good.” Xia Ruolin directly saw through him.

“If I’m an honest person, I’m afraid, you wouldn’t even want to cooperate with me at all.” Ouyang Mingqi smiled slyly.

In the banquet hall, Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan greeted several guests that they were familiar with. But Xia Weilan was a little preoccupied with her thoughts.

Xia Weilan finally saw Ouyang Mingqi and Xia Ruolin returning to the banquet together. She couldn’t help but frown even more.

Mo Beichen followed her gaze and squinted.

“Do you care about him? What are you worried about?”

Xia Weilan retracted her gaze and suddenly said, “Hubby, I want to stay over at the Old Mansion tonight.”

“Okay, I’ll stay with you.” Mo Beichen said without hesitation.

That evening at the Old Mansion.

“Grandpa, I requested for the doctor to do meal planning for you. He’ll also re-assign the medicines that you usually take, so that you don’t accidentally eat something that might cause adverse effects when taken together.”

Xia Weilan brought in the private doctor.

“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Without hesitation, Old Master Xia took out the medicines from his cabinet and let the doctor do his checks, “Some are health-care supplements, and some of them are medicines prescribed by the doctor. Have a look and see if there are any conflicts.”

The doctor was requested by Xia Weilan, he checked the medicines in detail. Eventually, his expression was as usual, “Master, these are all alright to be consumed. But you should probably cut down on those health supplements. From now on, I’ll make a meal plan for the three meals you take in a day.”

“Sure, thanks for the hard work,” said the old master.

Xia Ruolin watched from the entrance of the study and saw that there was a doctor checking the medicines. Her expression changed drastically. She subconsciously touched her pocket. Inside it was the contact number left by Ouyang Mingqi earlier on.

She was suspicious. Could it be that Xia Weilan had already noticed something? Did she do this to deliberately guard against her?

Mo Beichen walked out from Xia Weilan’s room and saw Xia Ruolin’s pale face. He squinted and walked toward the study room.

“Beichen-ge!” Xia Ruolin looked at him, bewildered. She immediately forgot the shock she received just now. She said with a smile on her face, “Why are you here? It’s rare for you to be here. Why don’t we go downstairs for a chit chat?”

“No need!” Mo Beichen refused without hesitation and stepped into the study.

Xia Ruolin also walked in with him.

“Grandpa, are you feeling better? You were hospitalized twice recently, and I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep well.” Xia Ruolin pretended to be concerned and leaned toward the old master.

“This doctor is?” Xia Ruolin looked at the doctor in front of her curiously.

“This is the private doctor that Weilan invited to help me adjust my meals,” said the Old Master.

Xia Ruolin smirked and stopped talking. Her eyes subconsciously glanced at Mo Beichen. She wanted to say something but then hesitated. She was filled with tender feelings, but Mo Beichen didn’t even notice her expression.

However, Xia Weilan suddenly walked in front of her and blocked her view.
