At this moment, Mo Beichen, who had been sitting steadily all along, glanced at Xia Weilan and said, "Yes."
"No way. We've already agreed that Weilan will intern at Xia Group during the summer vacation. Right, Weilan?" Grandpa Xia quickly said. Grandpa Xia had been thinking about this for a long time. He planned to leave Xia Group to Xia Weilan in the future. As for Xia Ruolin's family, he simply couldn't trust them. Xia Ruolin was arrogant and willful, while Xue Zhiqing was even more devious. Xia Mei simply didn't have the courage.
Hearing this, Xia Weilan nodded: "Yes. I promised Grandpa before that I would intern at Xia Group."
"That's okay, too. Anyway, she's a member of our family. She can't get away," Grandpa Mo stroked his white beard and smiled proudly.
"Beichen," Grandpa Xia suddenly said to Mo Beichen, "You should teach this girl more about business matters on weekdays and take her to gain some experience."
Grandpa Xia's intention was very obvious. He wanted to train Xia Weilan as the successor.
Mo Beichen understood immediately and nodded: "Okay."
In the evening, at Jinxiu Yuting.
Xia Weilan carried several business management books and studied by the lamp in the study. Mo Beichen stood at the door and knocked:
"Come with me."
Xia Weilan put down the books and followed Mo Beichen to his study.
"Get the first book on the second row and the sixth book on the third row on the bookshelf," Mo Beichen sat on the sofa and ordered habitually.
With his inborn charm, people were used to obeying him. Xia Weilan did as he said without hesitation.
Both books were about real - life business battles.
"Don't read those books for now. Finish reading these two books in the next two days. You can ask me if you don't understand," Mo Beichen said, then nodded his chin towards the door to indicate that she could go back to study.
As Xia Weilan walked out, she casually flipped through the books. She walked slower and slower and finally stopped completely at the door. She was attracted by a case inside and got lost in it for a moment.
I don't know how much time had passed when Xia Weilan came back the same way: "Husband, these books are a bit profound. Can you explain these sentences written here to me?"
Xia Weilan walked back to the desk, pulled over a chair and sat beside Mo Beichen. She lowered her head seriously and looked at the content she was pointing at.
Mo Beichen followed the sound and looked at the place her slender finger was pointing at. Her finger was extremely thin and delicate, very beautiful.
"Here?"
The tips of Mo Beichen's and her fingers bumped into each other.
Xia Weilan nodded and naturally withdrew her hand. She frowned and said, "Yes, it's this sentence."
Mo Beichen frowned slightly and looked at Xia Weilan's serious eyebrows and eyes. His expression also became serious: "This means..."
Mo Beichen explained it very simply and clearly. Soon Xia Weilan understood. Then she didn't leave. Instead, she simply took back the books and sat beside Mo Beichen to read. Whenever she didn't understand something, she would ask Mo Beichen just like before.
Mo Beichen joked: "You dummy. You don't even know this."
But the next second, he still explained it extremely seriously.
Aunt Tian was standing outside the study with two bowls of hot soup in her hands. Looking at the harmonious scene inside, the corners of her mouth lifted into a kind smile.
Inside the study, the two of them sat on either side, doing their own things extremely seriously. Occasionally, they would suddenly get closer. One became a serious teacher while the other blinked her eyes in confusion.
Aunt Tian stood there for a while, then walked in gently, put the soup on the table and walked out. Strangely, Xia Weilan didn't even notice that someone had come in.
Mo Beichen just glanced at Aunt Tian faintly and didn't say a word.
In the following days.
Xia Ruolin was sued as the mastermind of the kidnapping.
For several consecutive days, Xue Zhiqing came to see Mo Beichen several times. Moreover, Gu Yuwei also received a lot of inducements.
Finally, Xue Zhiqing got anxious and offered Gu Yuwei a chip she couldn't refuse. In the end, the Golden Retriever took all the blame. And after that, Gu Yuwei's family moved abroad.
One day, Xia Weilan learned the news and received a call from Gu Yuwei.
"Weilan, I'm sorry. The conditions they offered were ones I couldn't refuse," Gu Yuwei said on the other end of the phone.
"It's okay like this. If you can live a better life, I won't worry about you anymore," Xia Weilan said calmly.
"Weilan, thank you," Gu Yuwei said with emotion on the other end.
Xia Weilan didn't ask her what conditions Xue Zhiqing had offered. Anyway, it was good that Gu Yuwei's family could live abroad from now on.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Weilan sat on the sofa in a daze.
"Unhappy?" Mo Beichen came back from work, walked to her side and looked at her face carefully.
"Which eye of yours sees that I'm unhappy?" Xia Weilan blinked and said indifferently,
"I used to come from a poor place. At that time, all I worried about every day was how to get enough to eat. I think if someone had given me the money to survive at that time, I wouldn't have wanted to refuse either. As long as one is alive, that's the greatest satisfaction. Who would care about so many things?"
A faint sadness flashed in Mo Beichen's eyes. He couldn't imagine what a little girl in a down - and - out situation would look like. It must be something he couldn't understand or experience. He just knew in his heart that it must have been a dark past.
"I was less than ten years old at that time. It was my mother who set up a stall every day to buy a little bit of stability," Xia Weilan couldn't help sighing when she said this. "I didn't expect that now she's back in the shantytown while I'm living here."
Mo Beichen looked at her silently. He knew that all she needed was a listener, and it was enough for him to stay by her side.
Xia Weilan was silent for a while, then raised her head and said worriedly, "I'm not pitying my mother. I'm just worried that my younger brother will come back during the summer vacation. If he's willing to live with me at that time, I want to take him back."
"Okay. It's up to you," Mo Beichen didn't hesitate at all.
There were only a few days left until the summer vacation.
Both Wei Hongmei and Xia Weilan tacitly didn't call Lin Zihan. So at this moment, Lin Zihan, who was in senior high school, didn't know the situation at home.
"Come on. Look at your wrinkled eyelashes. They're almost like noodles," Mo Beichen said.
Xia Weilan pouted: "I don't look like noodles at all."
Mo Beichen reached out and rubbed the space between her eyebrows to smooth them out. Only then did she look a bit more pleasing to the eye.
"If you can't stand Xia Ruolin, I can make sure she won't appear in front of you," Mo Beichen said indifferently, but the words he said were extremely arrogant.
"Speaking of which, I really don't want to see her," Xia Weilan nodded in agreement.
After saying that, a glint of light flashed in Xia Weilan's eyes. She looked at Mo Beichen with interest and curiosity in her eyes:
"What good idea do you have?"
Mo Beichen looked at her bright big eyes, and his eyes flickered: "Want to know?"
