CH 158

In the cafe, the girls were still gossiping over there. Xia Weilan retracted her gaze and stared at her vibrating cell phone. The screen showed Rui Li’s message, “I’m really speechless to learn that such shameless people exist in this world. How dare they forge a will. Weilan, you must not show any mercy to them. You must get the company back.”

“I know. I will not consider the old feelings anymore. This time, I definitely won’t go soft on them.” Xia Weilan lowered her head and her fingers were texting furiously. No one was able to read her expression. She was sitting there alone, enveloped by a cold aura.

“What’s your plan?” asked Rui Li.

“Have you read the news about the Xia Family today? I suspect that Ouyang Mingqi is adding fumes to the fire. I wanted to send someone to check on him.”

“Sure. I had a lot of free time recently, I’ll check it for you.” Rui Li said immediately.

Xia Weilan paused briefly as something crossed her mind. She asked, “How are you doing lately? Aren’t you still working as Nan Fengyan’s bodyguard? How are things between you and Nan Fengyan?”

Xia Weilan felt eternity after she texted her questions to Rui Li. She waited for a long while for Rui Li’s reply. When she was about to get curious, Rui Li suddenly sent a reply text. Xia Weilan swept her eyes over her text, “We’re not from the same world. Weilan, I’m different from you. You and Mo-ge are an appropriate match. My family is running a small business. There’s no way that Nan Fengyan’s family would approve a person like me, so…”

Xia Weilan sensed that there’s a lot of hidden context behind Rui Li’s ellipsis. She understood that Rui Li is just trying to make a point that her status is no match to Nan Fengyan’s. In fact, she still thinks Nan Fengyan is a good partner, otherwise, she wouldn’t have considered so much.

Xia Weilan couldn’t help saying, “Rui Li, don’t belittle yourself. You have good martial arts skills. You’re good-looking and very independent. I believe there’s a lot of men lining up on your doorstep. Otherwise, Nan Fengyan wouldn’t have fallen for you. You definitely deserve him.”

“Well, I‘ve never considered marriage.” Rui Li replied quickly.

Xia Weilan felt that Rui Li was stubborn and determined. She sighed and replied, “Remember to follow your heart. Don’t regret it later.”

“I will.” Rui Li replied.

By the time Xia Weilan put away her phone, the sun was setting. A lot of white-collar workers were walking past the street. It was obviously after office hour peak-time..

She spotted Mo Beichen’s car slowly pulled over in front of the cafe.

Xia Weilan’s eyes brightened and she immediately stood up. Her phone rang, and it was from Mo Beichen.

She quickly walked out of the cafe.

A few golden clouds floated in the evening sky. The golden sunlight reflected on Xia Weilan’s fair and beautiful face. She opened the car door and got in the car.

After they drove away, there was still an endless stream of people passing by the same place. No one noticed that Mo Beichen, the most influential figure in Beijing, was here just now.

In the luxurious restaurant, Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan were sitting by the window, staring at the scenery below the building.

They were the only guests on the second floor of the restaurant.

The manager withdrew from the menu after taking their orders.

Mo Beichen said, “My contact recently found out that Ouyang Mingqi and Xia Ruolin have been in frequent contact about a month ago. I suspect that Ouyang Mingqi is closely related to the forgery of the will. Although there is no direct evidence, I strongly believe in my justification. I plan to beat down the Ouyang Group starting tomorrow to help you get back at them.”

Xia Weilan’s eyes were showing confusion, they gradually looked as cold as ice and she is certain that Ouyang Mingqi is up to no good. Just when she was about to talk, she heard melodious music and she turned her glance toward the source of the sound. Her eyes widened.

The banquet hall on the first floor was lively, most of the people there were employees of the Xia Corps. It seems like they are having some sort of celebration and they are making a toast to Xue Zhiqing, 2nd Master Xia, Ouyang Mingqi and Xia Roulin.

Mo Beichen also turned his head to look at the banquet hall. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes as he watched Xia Ruolin heading toward the dance floor with Ouyang Mingqi, dancing elegantly.

Ouyang Mingqi appeared very gentlemanly. He leaned toward Xia Ruolin and whispered into her ears with a voice that was audible to the both of them, “I’ll take most of the earnings for this collaboration. I’ll be taking seventy percent, you can have the rest.”

Xia Ruolin couldn’t help but let out a surprised look. She lowered her voice and said, “I thought we agreed to fifty-fifty? Are you trying to rob me?”

“Yes, I am robbing you indeed.” Ouyang Mingqi let out a gentleman’s smile.

Xia Ruolin was upset. However, she quickly changed her mind and chuckled, “Well, for the sake of your help last time, I’ll let you have it your way this time. No more next time, okay?”

Ouyang Mingqi Let out a sly smile without replying to her.

Mo Beichen shifted his gaze back to Xia Weilan subconsciously and noticed that she was upset.

Mo Beichen called for someone, and the manager immediately walked over and asked, “President. Mo, is the noise from the gathering downstairs bothering you?”

The banquet hall on the first floor was brightly lit. Xia Ruolin stepped away from the dance floor and casually swept her eyes across the staircase. Her gaze was fixed on a certain spot on the stairs.

The elegant smile on her face suddenly froze as she widened her eyes.

The others also stopped and looked towards the spiral staircase. They saw a couple walking down the stairs slowly. The man was noble and he was dressed in a well-tailored Italian handmade suit with slim cuttings that made his tall and fit physique stand out from the crowds. This person is none other than the president of Mo Corps.

On the other hand, the lady beside him wore a decent dress. Her slender feet stepped on the stairs as if she was stepping on the clouds. The hem of her skirt floated around her gracefully. This lady turned out to be Xia Weilan, who was recently rumored to be driven out of the Xia family.

Both of them descended the stairs hand in hand and headed toward the center of the hall.

“Beichen, Weilan, you are here too.” 2nd Master Xia put on an unnatural smile from the corner of his mouth and immediately walked over.

Regardless of how Xue Zhiqing disdained Xia Weilan, he had no choice but to say, “Here, here. Since you’re here, let’s have a drink.”

A disgusted look immediately appeared across Mo Beichen’s face. He exuded a cold aura that wards off strangers and he said in a cold voice, “I’m not here to drink.”

“Then you’re here to…” The 2nd Master’s put on an even broader smile.

Xia Weilan didn’t expect Mo Beichen to bring her downstairs without a word. At this moment, she wasn’t certain what Mo Beichen had in mind, so she stood beside him in silence.

“2nd Master Xia, I heard that you drove my wife out of Xia Corps!” Mo Beichen said coldly.

A lot of people started to exchange gossip around them, but they didn’t dare to speak loudly. They just whisper to one another. The hall was buzzing with a lot of background noises.

2nd Master Xia’s face turned red and white in the midst of the noises. He stood there awkwardly, at a loss for words.
