Xue Zhiqing's face was as ugly as it could be. Then he glared at Xia Ruolin.
"Stinky girl, why are you still standing there? Apologize to your younger sister quickly!"
"Dad!" Xia Ruolin was extremely unwilling.
She had painstakingly planned all this, but in the end, Xia Weilan was unharmed while she had lost her virginity.
In the end, she still had to apologize!
But she couldn't tell her suffering.
All her unwillingness was finally forced down by Xia Ruolin.
"Sister, I was just muddled for a moment in this matter. Fortunately, you didn't suffer any losses. Please forgive me this time."
Xia Ruolin spoke stiffly, but still held her head high.
"You can apologize, but I won't accept it!"
"What?" Xia Ruolin stared at her with wide eyes. "What else do you want me to do?"
Xia Ruolin bit her lips tightly, with bloodshot eyes. She looked almost on the verge of a breakdown from grievance.
Grandpa Xia glanced at Xia Ruolin, and his heart softened a little.
"Grandpa," Xia Weilan stood in front of the old man, neither overbearing nor humble.
"Grandpa, do you think I'm being too unforgiving? But that day, I almost had my innocence defiled by the person bribed by Xia Ruolin. If Mo Beichen hadn't arrived in time, Grandpa, I would have been ruined by Xia Ruolin!"
Grandpa Xia clenched his fist, and announced in a majestic voice:
"From now on, Zhiqing, you hand over the management rights of the company. Ruolin, you are confined to your room for a month for strict discipline!"
Grandpa Xia obviously didn't feel good about this decision.
At the age of 70, who was always in high spirits, now his eyes dimmed a bit.
Things had come to this point. Xue Zhiqing, who was already extremely angry, said to the servant in hatred that his daughter couldn't live up to his expectations:
"Hurry up and take the young lady into her room. Don't let her out without my permission."
"Yes." Two servants took Xia Ruolin away from left and right.
Xue Zhiqing turned back to look at Xia Weilan. There was an inexplicable look hidden in his dark eyes.
He didn't expect that this girl would show no mercy at all. But he still had to put on a smiling face.
"Niece, you did the right thing in this matter. Uncle thanks you for not making this matter public and saving Ruolin's face. I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future. You've been wronged this time. I'll bow to you on behalf of Ruolin to apologize."
Xue Zhiqing was also a man who could yield as well as fight. After saying that, he bowed at a 90 - degree angle, putting himself in the lowest position.
Xia Weilan's heart skipped a beat. "Uncle, there's no need for this."
Things had come to this point. If Xia Weilan still brought this matter up, she would be considered unreasonable and overbearing.
Sure enough, the old man didn't make things difficult anymore. This matter was over just like that.
At night.
Xia Weilan told Mo Beichen about what had happened in the Xia family.
"Being confined for a month is not bad. I didn't have much expectation in the first place. After all, she grew up in the Xia family. Grandpa must be reluctant to be too harsh on her. But being able to let Grandpa know what she did has actually achieved my goal."
Leaning against the window, looking at the lights of thousands of families, Xia Weilan was video - chatting with Mo Beichen.
"You're so easily satisfied. You're really useless."
Mo Beichen looked at her serene face and slightly raised his long eyebrows.
"By the way, what photos did you give Xia Ruolin?"
Xia Weilan didn't know about the matter that Xia Ruolin was drugged later.
"There's nothing in them!" Mo Beichen's eyes flickered. He didn't want her to know about this matter. She was still too young.
She just needed to stand under his wings, and with his power and influence, he could always protect her.
"Pfft..." Xia Weilan seemed to think of a certain scene and couldn't help laughing.
"Does your foot still hurt?"
Mo Beichen suddenly thought of something and quietly looked at her.
"It's completely healed." Xia Weilan blinked her eyelashes nervously. She didn't want Mo Beichen to know that she was bullied at school.
However, Mo Beichen was no ordinary person. He just pretended not to know.
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Xia Weilan looked at his angular side face, and there was a strange feeling in her heart.
On the video, Mo Beichen clearly didn't say anything or do anything special, but he suddenly seemed a bit imposing.
The light shone on his face, making his outline more three - dimensional and profound, exuding an inexplicable attraction and... danger.
"Have you looked enough?" Mo Beichen suddenly spoke. His voice was as mellow as just - shaken red wine.
"Not enough." Xia Weilan shook her head and continued to stare at him. Her eyes seemed to hold autumn waters and stars, shining brightly.
"I'm looking at my husband. It's only natural."
Hearing this, a glint flashed in Mo Beichen's dark eyes. His voice was a bit low and charming. "Don't you know it's very dangerous for a woman to look at a man like this?"
The ambiguous voice made Xia Weilan's ears go numb. She subconsciously trembled and held the phone farther away, keeping a bit more distance from that overly imposing face.
The corner of Mo Beichen's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't tease this innocent little girl anymore.
"Okay, go to bed early tonight."
"Good night." After hanging up the video, Xia Weilan touched her slightly flushed cheeks and scolded herself for being useless.
...
The next day.
As soon as Xia Weilan entered the examination room, she found that Lin Xuefei was actually sitting in the seat next to hers.
Lin Xuefei immediately stood up.
"What bad luck! I'm sitting next to you!"
"If you're not satisfied, you can sit farther away." Xia Weilan took out her pen and ruler, looking calm.
Lin Xuefei stamped her foot angrily, but this time she didn't entangle any more.
Soon, the placement test for the Jewelry Design Department began.
The topic Lin Xuefei drew was "Spring", and the material picture provided was a red agate.
She immediately glanced at Xia Weilan and found that Xia Weilan's topic was "Snow", and the material picture was a pearl.
"Isn't this an easy - scoring topic for me?"
Lin Xuefei couldn't help feeling proud. Her topic and the raw stone were so noble.
While Xia Weilan's raw material was just an unremarkable pearl.
After seeing the topic, Xia Weilan sat there in silence.
It seemed that she was stumped.
"What? If you don't have the ability, don't try to hold on. I'm almost done with my design, and you haven't even started writing. How pitiful."
Lin Xuefei said in a voice that only the two of them could hear and secretly nudged her with her elbow.
"Lin Xuefei, there are surveillance cameras everywhere here. If you keep disturbing me during the exam, do you believe that as long as I say something, you'll be kicked out!"
Xia Weilan turned back and glared at her angrily. Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft.
A few students sitting nearby had already looked at them, looking rather impatiently at Lin Xuefei, who was clearly misbehaving.
Being scolded like this, Lin Xuefei was immediately enraged.
The invigilator in the front also looked over. "Have you finished the exam, classmate?"
"Not yet, teacher." Lin Xuefei quickly shrank back and was as obedient as a primary school student.
The invigilator snorted and then walked away.
Lin Xuefei was originally halfway through her design, but now her mind suddenly became a mess. She forgot where she was in her design.
When she looked up again, she saw Xia Weilan scribbling quickly, and she was so angry that she felt a lump in her throat.
When the exam finally ended, Lin Xuefei handed in her poorly - designed paper with a pale face.
"Xia Weilan, I knew it was your bad luck that affected my exam!" Lin Xuefei immediately blocked Xia Weilan who was about to get up.
