The Dean's Office of University A.
"My daughter would never stir up trouble in a group. Look at how badly she's hurt. It's clearly those wild girls in your school who bullied her. Dean, you must severely punish this wild girl today!"
"Well..." Dean Chen looked rather embarrassed. By this time, he had already learned from other students that it was actually Han Lulu who had caused the trouble. However, Han Lulu's father was an entrepreneur. Although he wanted to speak up for Xia Weilan, he had to think twice.
"Mr. Han, both sides are at fault in this matter. How about..."
"Dad, I'm not at fault at all. It was her who bumped into me first and then hit me." Han Lulu interrupted Dean Chen and glared at Xia Weilan viciously.
Xia Weilan hung her head, and it was hard to tell what expression she had on her face. She looked like a soft target who could be easily bullied.
"Well, then we'll punish classmate Xia Weilan to write a..." self - criticism.
"What's going on?"
A voice as cold as ice suddenly cut in, interrupting Dean Chen.
Everyone turned to look at the door. There stood Mo Beichen, a well - known figure in the capital, striding towards them.
The man was wearing a silver - striped shirt on top and well - tailored suit pants below. An air of noble arrogance surrounded him. He had a matching coat casually draped over his wrist, and half - hidden beneath the corner of the coat was an exquisite watch.
At the sight of this man, there were quite a few gasps in the room.
"Mr. Mo, what brings you here..." Dean Chen's hands trembled with excitement.
"Dean, this is my elder brother."
Xia Weilan's clear voice fell into everyone's ears, causing a great shock.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen clenched his fist imperceptibly. He turned to Dean Chen and asked, "What's going on?"
This was like an implicit acknowledgement of their relationship.
"Well... Xia Weilan and Han Lulu had a fight. It might have started as a misunderstanding." Dean Chen told the truth.
"So, my Weilan was beaten?" Mo Beichen looked back at Xia Weilan standing quietly beside him. Was she bullied?
Several people against his Xia Weilan alone?
Thinking of this, Mo Beichen turned his eyes to the other students beside them. His gaze was as cold and menacing as that of a Siberian snow wolf.
Han Lulu stared blankly at Mo Beichen, filled with jealousy and confusion.
When did Xia Weilan get such a relative? He was Mo Beichen! Not just any ordinary man, but Mo Beichen, a man that even her family wanted to curry favor with.
"No, I didn't bully her..." Han Lulu just kept shaking her head. The desire to survive made her not want to anger him.
Mr. Han stepped forward at this moment, smiling amiably, trying to downplay the matter: "Mr. Mo, as Dean Chen said, this was just a misunderstanding at first. It's my daughter who is ignorant. She's been spoiled by me usually, which led to this farce. We busy people have all been dragged into this. How about we just let it go? Kids' pranks can be dealt with by just giving them a little education."
"Since it's a misunderstanding, we should at least make it clear what the misunderstanding is." Mo Beichen turned back and motioned to Xia Weilan: "Tell me, what exactly is the misunderstanding?"
Xia Weilan stepped forward and spoke for the first time: "At noon in the cafeteria, Han Lulu brought a few people to pick on me. Then I was dragged out in front of everyone. I just defended myself."
Hearing this, Mo Beichen looked back at the obviously disheveled trouble - makers, pursed his lips, and then asked Xia Weilan, "Where are you hurt?"
There was a hint in Mo Beichen's look, as if to say that even if there were no injuries, she should say that she was in pain all over.
"I have a headache, a sore back, and my hands hurt too." Her hands really hurt from hitting others.
Everyone couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, but the fact was as Xia Weilan said. It was Han Lulu who had started the trouble, and she had indeed just defended herself. There were too many witnesses, and there was really nothing to argue about.
Han Lulu felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat. She was so angry that she felt uncomfortable all over, but she gritted her teeth and couldn't say a word.
Just now, with her father covering for her, whatever she said seemed reasonable. But now, without any justifications or power, she had to swallow her anger.
"Han Lulu, how could you do such a thing? Bullying your classmates in a group. What else do you have to say?" Dean Chen quickly turned to Han Lulu and scolded loudly.
"I... I just... I didn't know..." that Xia Weilan had such a relative.
Han Lulu's face turned pale and then red. Finally, she could only say, "I was impulsive."
"Dean Chen, it's my fault for not educating my daughter well. You can punish her as you like!" Mr. Han didn't want to offend Mo Beichen because of this. After leaving this sentence, he turned around and slipped away.
This matter ended with Han Lulu and the others being punished to write self - criticism and clean the teaching building for a month.
Not long after, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen walked one after another on the tree - lined path.
Xia Weilan could tell from Mo Beichen's straight back that he was angry.
It was understandable. The president of the prestigious Mo Ying Group had taken time out of his busy schedule to deal with her petty matter. It was really embarrassing.
"Husband, slow down?"
Hearing this, Mo Beichen suddenly turned back and said in a low voice, "Why not elder brother anymore?"
"Didn't you say that I can't claim to be your wife in front of outsiders?" Xia Weilan said frankly and innocently.
Mo Beichen's heaving chest paused for a few seconds, then he warned, "Cause less trouble in the future."
Xia Weilan frowned and looked a bit embarrassed: "What if others pick on me?"
"If others pick on you first, don't show mercy. The young lady of the Xia family is not someone who can be easily bullied. Moreover, you have the support of my Mo family. I, Mo Beichen, have never been afraid of trouble."
Such arrogant words seemed perfectly natural when they came from Mo Beichen's mouth.
Anyway, Xia Weilan was his nominal wife.
And his wife must never be a timid and submissive woman who could be easily bullied.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was shamelessly tugging at his cuff, Mo Beichen felt that he might have worried for nothing. This woman even dared to provoke him. How could she be easily bullied?
Mo Beichen took another heavy look at the woman in front of him. One against four, and she wasn't even hurt. She was no ordinary person.
But to be his Mo Beichen's woman, she was still too inexperienced.
At noon that day, under Xia Weilan's persistent coaxing, Mo Beichen took her to a Western restaurant for lunch.
Among the Western restaurants in the capital, none was more famous than the current Saint - Duo Western Restaurant.
There were delicate private rooms, classical chandeliers, and soothing music. The chefs here were well - known ones hired from France at a high price.
In the private room, the waiter immediately walked in enthusiastically, bowed, and presented the menu.
Xia Ruolin passed by the door. Hearing the familiar male voice, she paused, then turned her head in surprise to look at the slightly open private room.
"That's all. You can add the rest."
Mo Beichen pushed the menu to Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan knew that the dishes Mo Beichen had ordered were all to her taste. She liked strong - flavored food while Mo Beichen preferred light food. So she ordered two dishes that he liked.
A flash of darkness passed through Mo Beichen's eyes, like a shooting star across the night sky.
