Mo Beichen raised his eyebrows disdainfully. "Your standards are really high. People who don't know might think you're a princess from some country stranded in the mortal world."
This girl was young, yet she had such wild ambitions. She could spout insincere words without hesitation.
It was clearly their first meeting today, but she acted as if he was her long - time lover.
Xia Weilan reached out and gently tapped his chin. "It's enough for me to be the little princess of just you."
Mo Beichen slapped her hand away with a "pop". His face turned even colder. "What are you doing? How can a girl be so flirtatious?"
Didn't she know that treating a man like this was a very dangerous thing to do?
Xia Weilan was knocked back two steps by his slap. She pouted, looking as if she was about to cry.
She opened her arms and said, "It's so cold outside, but I'm burning up inside. I feel like I'm about to die. Big brother, give me a hug!"
She was still wearing the pink spaghetti - strap dress that Sister Hua had prepared for her. The night wind made her shiver, but the restless heat wave inside her body was torturing her unbearably.
If Mo Beichen didn't show some pity, she was going to take the initiative!
"I think it would be better if you died."
Although Mo Beichen said this, he still carried Xia Weilan into the car.
During the journey, she endured the bone - gnawing discomfort and curled up in the seat without moving. She thought that after arriving at Mo Beichen's villa, he would shower her with love and affection. But instead, he took out a white pill from the medicine box and threw it in front of her.
"This is the antidote. Take it!"
Antidote?
Xia Weilan was a bit stunned. This man was really heartless.
He got her drunk! He drugged her!
He even cut off the only chance for a woman to get into his bed.
Xia Weilan knew his temper. Not to mention they had just met. Even if he liked her, he wouldn't do anything to an eighteen - year - old girl.
But she was not willing to just give up the chance to get close to him.
Lying on the sofa with half - closed eyes, she murmured, "I have no strength. I can't hold the water cup. Feed me."
Mo Beichen glared at her and helplessly helped her sit up, then put the pill to her lips.
Have to admit that his medicine was really top - notch. As soon as it went down, the heat wave in Xia Weilan's body subsided a lot.
But she took the opportunity to fall into Mo Beichen's arms. Her little hand grabbed the collar under his neck, and her face rubbed against his chest intentionally or unintentionally.
It was so nice to be in his arms!
She didn't want to let go for even a second.
Mo Beichen was too lazy to talk to her now. He directly picked her up by the waist and threw her onto the bed in the guest room.
"Ouch!"
The sudden fall made Xia Weilan sober up immediately.
She sat up straight, holding her waist. Just as she was about to scold Mo Beichen for being heartless, he slammed the door and left with a "bang".
Back in his own room, Mo Beichen went straight to take a cold shower.
Damn it!
He really didn't want to admit that he actually had feelings for a young girl's body.
There was a time when he even suspected that there was something wrong with him. Otherwise, why wasn't he interested in any type of beautiful women?
But today, he really wanted to pin down a just - grown - up girl.
Was his thinking so perverted?
But fortunately, he had reason. He wouldn't really be so heartless as to do something to a child. Moreover, once such a thing happened, he would have to be responsible and marry her. But marriage was no joke.
The night passed peacefully. When Xia Weilan got up the next day, Mo Beichen had already gone to work.
Aunt Tian sent someone to bring her clothes and breakfast, and also attached a stack of cash.
"Our young master said that it's not easy for a girl to be alone outside. This is the travel expenses for you to go home."
In her previous life, Aunt Tian had taken care of her for so many years. Seeing her now was really kind.
"Thank you, but I only need one bill."
A hundred yuan was enough to take a taxi from here to the Lin family's place.
Xia Weilan's step - father, Lin Jiancheng, was also a businessman. But in the past two years, his business had been in a slump, and he had lost a lot of money.
But the Lin family still lived in a single - family villa.
When Xia Weilan got home, her step - father's daughter was lying leisurely on the chaise longue in the living room, watching TV.
She was wearing a white custom - made mink fur vest. There was a top - grade imported red wine on the small table in front of her. Even the small high - heels on her feet were luxury brands worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Hehe!
It was ridiculous that a family that could afford such a wealthy daughter had to rely on selling her to make a living.
"Xia Weilan?" Lin Xuefei stood up from the chaise longue in surprise and said arrogantly, "Shouldn't you be entertaining guests? Why are you back?"
"Yes, Weilan. Did you escape?" Wei Hongmei, who was busy in the kitchen, also rushed out as soon as she heard the noise.
Xia Weilan walked to the table, picked up the decanter, poured herself a glass of wine, sat down and took a small sip. She nodded and said, "Well, it's good!"
In her previous life, both the Xia family and the Mo family could afford to let her drink all kinds of expensive wines. She could tell the value of any wine just by tasting it.
"Slutty girl! Who allowed you to touch my things?" Lin Xuefei reached out and smashed the wine glass in her hand.
She treasured this wine so much that she only dared to drink a small glass a day.
If it had been before, Wei Hongmei would definitely have severely punished Xia Weilan. But now the most urgent thing was to find out how Xia Weilan had escaped. The Lin family had almost spent all the money from selling her. If she had escaped, wouldn't the people from the Fuli Imperial City come looking for them?
"Weilan, no matter how you escaped, go back quickly now. Otherwise, if the big boss gets angry, the whole Lin family will suffer a catastrophe because of you."
As Wei Hongmei said this, she went to pull Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan waved her hand away. The temperature in her eyes dropped to freezing point.
This was her biological mother!
"Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, please watch your words.
Where did I escape from? The brothel in the Fuli Imperial City? How did I get in there? I don't need to remind you, do I?
If your legal awareness is weak, I can tell you that Article 240 of the criminal law stipulates that those who abduct and sell young girls for the purpose of selling them, using anesthesia to kidnap them and sell them to improper places, shall be sentenced to fixed - term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or have their property confiscated!
If I call the police, what do you think will happen to you two?"
Although it was Lin Jianye who proposed this, it was Lin Xuefei who drugged her and Wei Hongmei who gave her the water. They were the criminals who would go to jail!
"Weilan? Are you crazy? I'm your biological mother. How dare you send me to jail?" Wei Hongmei glared at Xia Weilan with a pointed chin, looking as if she wanted to tear her apart.
Her daughter had a temper, but she never dared to shout in the Lin family. Now she was really bold enough to talk to her like this.
"Biological mother?" Xia Weilan stood up and looked at Wei Hongmei sarcastically, making her feel panicked. "Which biological mother would sell her own daughter to be defiled? Wei Hongmei, even a tiger protects its cubs. What about you? Hehe..."
"Ouch! Xia Weilan, you're truly unfilial. Aren't you just scolding your own mother for being worse than an animal?"
Lin Xuefei didn't believe that she would call the police. She was just a weak and submissive girl who was born to be bullied!
Xia Weilan raised her eyebrows. "I haven't finished yet. Actually, she does protect her cubs, but it's you, the animal cub."
