CH 189

That morning, Xia Weilan received a call from Xia Mei when she was at school.

Xia Weilan was surprised as she had nothing to talk to Xia Mei at all. Why did she call her?

Xia Weilan answered the call and immediately heard Xia Mei talking enthusiastically, “Weilan, I am Aunt Xia Mei. How are you doing? Are you doing okay with your studies?”

“Mm, I’m doing fine.” Xia Weilan still showed respect toward Xia Mei.

“Oh, that’s good to know. When you are free, come over for a visit. Roulin and Mingqi will be having an engagement ceremony in a few days time. You must attend together with Beichen, after all, we are a family.” Xia Mei spoke kindly.

“I’m not attending.” Xia Weilan said solemnly.

Xia Mei persuaded, “It’s alright if you are not free, Beichen can come over alone. Weilan, regardless of what had happened, we are a family. Don’t make it look as if the Xia Family had fallen apart and made it a laughing stock to others. I’ve always loved you.”

The Xia Family had been placed in a difficult situation because of one word from Mo Beichen. Because when Mo Beichen decided to go against the Xia Family, nobody dared to do any business dealing with the Xia Family. The Xia Family is now going through a difficult time.

Xia Weilan let out a cold sneered. It turned out that Mo Beichen is the one that they targeted, they wanted Mo Beichen to attend their wedding. What wishful thinking.

“It’s up to Beichen if he wants to attend or not.” Xia Weilan’s tone became a lot colder.

Xia Mei still wanted to say something, but Xia Weilan told her that she was busy and she hung up the phone immediately.

Xia Weilan is really busy.

" "

After lunch, she quickly worked on the design of the school’s bulletin. And she continued working on it at the student union room after school. When she finally completed the designing of the school’s bulletin, she immediately handed it over for publishing.

After Xia Weilan completed all this, she was really exhausted. She informed Mo Beichen that she would be home a little late and she simply placed her face down on the table and took a quick nap.

However, she overslept and she didn’t even notice that her phone had been vibrating.

The door of the room was gently pushed open. Mo Beichen walked in and saw Xia Weilan lying on the table sleeping soundly. He walked toward her quietly.

Her curly eyelashes fluttered gently. Mo Beichen swept his eyes across her face and recalled that she had been over-exerting herself for the past two days. He felt his heart aching slightly. He carried her without waking her up. He made his way across the dimly lit forest path in the middle of the night and walked to the school gate with her in his arms.

A few students staying in the hostel were shocked to see the figure approaching them on the forest path while they were jogging.

“Look! Who is Mo Beichen holding in his arms?”

“Who else can it be? It must be his girlfriend, Xia Weilan.”

“Wow! I want to fall in love too.”

Several little girls were seeing stars in their eyes. They watched as their male god walked past them while carrying Xia Weilan in his arms. They were stuffed from all this dog food.

Xia Weilan had a nightmare.

She dreamed that Old Master Xia was hit by a car when he was crossing the road. When she hurried over, he gripped her hand tightly and looked into her eyes. He kept repeating, “You must take revenge for me!”

" "

“Grandpa!” Xia Weilan woke up from the nightmare.

The room was as bright as day, and Mo Beichen was holding her hand, wiping her sweat anxiously, calling out to her name.

“Weilan, you’re finally awake.” Mo Beichen let out a sigh of relief. Just now, Xia Weilan was twisting her body on the bed with an uneasy expression. She was then covered with cold sweat and she wouldn’t wake up no matter how he tried to wake her up.

Xia Weilan realized that her body was drenched with cold sweat. The frightened look still remained on her face and her heart was still racing.

“I dreamt that someone killed grandpa.” Xia Weilan said weakly.

“You have been too tired recently. Take a shower to calm yourself down.” Mo Beichen said tenderly.

At this moment, someone knocked on the bedroom door. A servant walked in with an invitation card.

Mo Beichen took the invitation card and opened it to find that it was an invitation to the engagement ceremony between Xia Ruolin and Ouyang Mingqi.

“Weilan, what do you think?” Mo Beichen frowned and asked Xia Weilan.

“Xia Mei called me today and asked me to be there with you. But actually, they just hope that you will be attending to ease the tension in the relationship between the two families.” Xia Weilan sighed.

“In that case, let’s go.” Mo Beichen took her hands and said, “You are the real young miss of the Xia family. Not only that you need to go, you need to show up in high profile.”

Recently, rumors about Xia Weilan being kicked out by the Xia Family have been circulating around Beijing. This matter has been bothering Mo Beichen. No matter what, he must give support to her.

“Show up in high-profile?” Xia Weilan smiled. This is something new.

——

In the villa.

“Master, your future son-in-law is here!” informed the maid. Ouyang Mingqi wore a classic black and white suit and walked in gracefully with a smile that was as warm as the sun.

If it wasn’t for the baby in Xia Ruolin’s stomach and his family had forced him to marry Xia Ruolin, he is really unwilling to come to the Xia Mansion for dinner.

“Coming!” Xue Zhiqing was very satisfied with Ouyang Mingqi. He took a glance at the first floor and said to Ouyang Mingqi, “Roulin is still in her room. Go and see her first.”

“Okay.” Ouyang Mingqi went upstairs.

“Why are you here!” Xia Ruolin opened the door moodily. She frowned and went back into her room, looking at Ouyang Mingqi with disgust.

“I’m here to call you downstairs for dinner.” Ouyang Mingqi, who looked like he would never get angry, stared at her quietly.

“Hmmph!” Xia Ruolin glared at him, “How dare you come to my house for dinner? If my dad found out that you had secretly schemed and tricked me to have sex with you, do you think he will break your leg?”

“Haha!” Ouyang Mingqi laughed, “Even if you say it out loud, nobody will believe you.”

Moreover, Xia Roulin slept with him willingly last time. Ouyang Mingqi kept the last statement to himself because he didn’t want to provoke her.

“Do you think you deserve to marry someone like me? You really did some good calculations!” Xia Ruolin said coldly.

“You got it wrong. It was me, who was willing to marry you. Before, the Xia Family was doing well. But now, the Xia Family has fallen and is no match to the Ouyang Family. You are very well aware of this too. Now that your family is asking for such a big betrothal gift, aren’t they planning to use it to save Xia Corps?” Ouyang Mingqi said in a tepid manner.

When Xia Ruolin heard his words, her heart skipped a beat, “How much did my dad ask for?”

When it comes to this, Ouyang Mingqi was unreconciled.

His family actually gave 100 million as a betrothal gift for this unborn child.

Xue Zhiqing was in the hall and he kept looking at the room upstairs from time to time.

He wasn’t worried that Ouyang Mingqi would treat Xia Ruolin badly. What he was more concerned about, was Xia Roulin upsetting Ouyang Mingqi with her foul temper, blowing up the deal between the two families.
