Xia Weilan couldn't bear to hear that voice. She turned around and found Gu Yuwei shrinking in the corner, trembling.
"Don't worry. You won't be in trouble until I am." Xia Weilan pulled her up from the ground and made her sit on a box.
The kicking at the door outside grew fiercer, accompanied by Lin Xuefei's reckless shouts:
"Xia Weilan, aren't you capable? Why are you hiding? Come out! I'll beat you to death if you come out."
"Classmate Xuefei is so fierce. Let's report this to the teacher." Gu Yuwei picked up the phone with a trembling hand.
"It's too late. They're about to break in." Xia Weilan looked at the door that was about to be smashed in and her expression turned solemn.
The little girl had just picked up the phone. Hearing this, she was so scared that the phone dropped to the ground.
Xia Weilan's calm gaze quickly scanned the area. Finally, following the light, she looked up at the ceiling. There was a ventilation duct there that could lead outside.
"Come on. I'll send you out first." Xia Weilan immediately dragged Gu Yuwei over a few boxes and climbed up.
The ventilation duct wasn't very sturdy. Soon, they managed to pry open a fairly large hole.
The two climbed out one after another.
But in front of them was a three - meter - high wall. They could only stay on the rooftop and had nowhere else to go.
With a "bang!", the sound of the huge iron gate hitting the ground made the two on the rooftop tense up.
"What should we do?" Gu Yuwei tugged at the corner of Xia Weilan's clothes, trembling all over.
"It's okay. You stay here. I'll guard the ventilation duct to stop anyone from coming in. We have the geographical advantage." Xia Weilan made Gu Yuwei sit on a small stone pier outside the ventilation duct. Then she turned around and scanned the ventilation duct with a sharp look in her eyes.
"They're up there!"
"Go up there and catch them!" Lin Xuefei roared angrily.
But after waiting for a while, Xia Weilan suddenly heard the sound of a fight coming from below.
The fight was extremely fierce. Before long, it fell silent.
"Xia Weilan, are you up there?"
Mo Beichen had taken care of those hooligans and called out to the rooftop above. His voice was tense.
"I'm here." Hearing this, Xia Weilan was overjoyed. She quickly jumped down onto the boxes below and then threw herself into a broad chest.
"Why did you come?" Xia Weilan felt her emotions relax. Suddenly, her eyes turned a bit red.
Mo Beichen looked a bit disheveled. Usually a meticulous person, his hair was now a bit messy and his shirt was wrinkled.
"Are you okay?" Mo Beichen pushed her away abruptly and scanned her from head to toe. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Xia Weilan didn't expect to be pushed away in such a touching moment. But only then did she notice Mo Beichen's disheveled appearance. Suddenly, her nose felt sour and tears welled up.
"Mo Beichen, why did you push me?" Xia Weilan threw herself at him again.
In the small warehouse, there were four or five hooligans lying on the ground in a mess. Lin Xuefei was sitting on the ground pale - faced.
At the door, the school principal who had rushed over upon hearing the news looked extremely angry when he saw the situation inside the warehouse.
"Cough... Mr. Mo, are you injured?"
The two who were hugging each other turned around in unison.
Mo Beichen grabbed Xia Weilan's hand and strode out.
"There's another gang - beating incident in the school, Principal..." Mo Beichen's sharp voice was filled with intense anger.
"Yes, yes. I'll definitely deal with it strictly." The principal's expression turned solemn. He must give Mo Beichen an explanation for this matter.
Seeing the way Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan were hugging each other just now, the principal vaguely guessed that they were in a relationship. He didn't dare to be negligent at all.
Mo Beichen didn't say anything. He just pulled Xia Weilan away.
"Principal, classmate Yuwei is still on the rooftop." Xia Weilan reminded before leaving.
Mo Beichen walked steadily, still holding her hand tightly in the aftermath of the shock. He remained silent.
Before long, the two returned to Jinxiu Yuting.
"Xia Weilan, Lin Xuefei has bullied you again and again at school. Didn't you ever think of telling me?"
Mo Beichen looked angry, his cold eyes as deep as an abyss.
If he hadn't been worried and gone to the school in advance on the pretext of an inspection and rushed over upon hearing the news, would Xia Weilan still be standing here safely?
"I thought I could handle it." Xia Weilan lowered her head and mumbled. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
In the living room, the servants were all scared away by Mo Beichen's anger.
Mo Beichen took a long stride and sat on the sofa. His face showed no sign of calm:
"You can handle it? I gave you so many days. How did you handle it? Xia Weilan, I'll take care of this matter from now on. I'll make that woman transfer schools directly and get rid of this trouble once and for all!"
Xia Weilan touched her nose, puzzled. When did he give her so many days? She had no idea.
But seeing his angry and disheveled appearance, Xia Weilan felt a bit heart - ache. She obediently said:
"Thank you for saving me today. I was wrong before. I'll rely on you from now on." Xia Weilan leaned over and kissed him on the face twice.
Instantly, Mo Beichen's anger vanished without a trace.
"Okay." Mo Beichen grunted in his throat.
"However, I want to get back what Lin Xuefei owes me myself. If you make her transfer schools, how can I get it back from her?" Xia Weilan said daringly.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen's once - softened eyes turned cold again:
"What else do you want to do? Xia Weilan, do you want to keep such a disgusting person around you?"
"Pfft..." Xia Weilan didn't expect Mo Beichen to scold someone so seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes. She's disgusting. But I have a better way to punish her."
"Hmm?" Mo Beichen straightened his shirt and looked at her askance.
"Husband, just make her apologize to me in front of the whole school. Lin Xuefei loves her face the most. It'll piss her off. It'll piss her off more than making her transfer schools."
Xia Weilan blinked her eyes and looked at him flatteringly.
Mo Beichen seemed to see a wagging little tail behind Xia Weilan. A trace of doting flashed in his eyes.
On the other hand.
At school, the principal berated Lin Xuefei severely. But Lin Xuefei wasn't afraid of him.
She thought that if worst came to worst, she wouldn't stay at this school anymore. After transferring, she could still make a name for herself.
Seeing her unrepentant look, the principal was so angry that he wanted to expel her on the spot.
Just then, his phone rang. The principal walked to one side and answered it nervously.
After hanging up the phone, the principal came back and said to Lin Xuefei:
"Mr. Mo is magnanimous. For this matter, as long as you apologize to Xia Weilan in front of all the teachers and students in the school, this matter will be settled."
"No. Punish me in some other way. Apologizing in public is worse than killing me." Lin Xuefei stiffened her neck.
"If only you had known this earlier!" The principal waved his sleeves and was determined.
In the following days, Lin Xuefei asked for leave and stayed at home. She didn't dare to go to school.
Wei Hongmei knocked on the door several times, trying to persuade Lin Xuefei to go to school. But Lin Xuefei directly threw a pillow at her:
"You hypocrite. It's all because of your good daughter. You're all bullying me! Get out! Get out of here."
Wei Hongmei was driven out. She was so angry that she cursed Xia Weilan as a brute in her heart!
