"Ah!" Xia Weilan immediately shook her hand and cried out.
"Sister, why are you so careless?" Xia Ruolin looked up at the suddenly opened study, quickly crouched down, and reached out to pick up the fragments. Whether intentionally or not, by the time she looked up, her eyes were already warm and her eye sockets were red. And her hand had been scratched, with the glaring blood flowing.
"Ah!" When Mo Beichen approached, Xia Ruolin suddenly cried out in pain and stood up, almost bumping into Mo Beichen's arms. She looked at him pitifully.
However, Mo Beichen directly bypassed her and walked towards Xia Weilan. He grabbed her hand and put it under the faucet, flushing it with cold water. His brows were deeply furrowed and there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes:
"What happened?"
"Just now, elder sister accidentally broke the soup bowl. When I tried to clean it up, I also got scratched." Xia Ruolin had tears in the corners of her eyes.
Mo Beichen stared at Xia Ruolin coldly, then directly took Xia Weilan and walked out of the door:
"I'll take you to the hospital!"
Xia Ruolin, standing there unwillingly, stared blankly at the front door.
"Someone, bring some wound medicine for Miss Ruolin." Grandpa Xia sighed. Thinking that Xia Ruolin and Xia Weilan had been quite harmonious recently, his face looked much better.
At the moment, he felt more affection for Xia Ruolin as a granddaughter. He quickly told the servant to bandage her up.
In the car, Mo Beichen was driving while looking at the red mark on Xia Weilan's hand.
At this moment, Xia Weilan was sitting beside him, looking extremely pale. Her sleeve had been rolled up, revealing a small section of skin that should have been fair and delicate, but now it was slightly swollen and looked a bit hideous.
"Why are you so careless!" Mo Beichen's frowned brows never relaxed.
Xia Weilan remained silent. She knew that she could only swallow this bitter pill today. After all, Xia Ruolin didn't even touch her, and it was really herself who knocked over the bowl.
Although she was actually startled by Xia Ruolin's deliberate cry.
Just then, they arrived at the hospital gate. Mo Beichen took Xia Weilan directly into the hospital.
After the doctor carefully treated Xia Weilan's skin and applied medicine, Mo Beichen's face didn't look any better.
"Why are you so careless? It must have been scalded by just-boiled water, right!" the doctor couldn't help scolding. "Judging from this situation, it won't be fully healed in ten days or half a month. Fortunately, with the advanced technology now, if you use the medicine carefully, there won't be any scars. Otherwise, for a young girl..."
The doctor was still rambling on. Xia Weilan quickly changed the subject: "Excuse me, doctor, do I need to pay attention to anything these days?"
On the way back, Mo Beichen's face was still unhappy.
Xia Weilan was also very helpless, so she said, "I'll be more careful next time."
"You still want there to be a next time!" Mo Beichen said coldly without looking back.
When they got back to the Splendid Royal Court, Aunt Tian exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you end up like this?"
In the end, it was Xia Weilan, the injured one, who had to distract herself to comfort her. Then Xia Weilan was called to the study by Mo Beichen.
Xia Weilan thought Mo Beichen was going to scold her, but unexpectedly, Mo Beichen brought up another matter:
"Tomorrow, I'll send a professional manager to the Xia Group to help you."
Xia Weilan was applying medicine on her hand, and she just held it straight up in the air. Looking at Mo Beichen's still expressionless face, a warm current slid through her heart. She knew that Mo Beichen was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
The next day.
As soon as Xia Weilan got out of the car, a middle - aged man in a suit and tie was waiting at the gate:
"Miss Xia, my name is Xu Liancai. I was sent by Mr. Mo."
Only then did Xia Weilan look at this middle - aged man seriously. The man had an ordinary face and was a bit overweight, but his expression was very honest. Such a person could easily make people lower their guard. What attracted Xia Weilan the most was the fleeting light in Xu Liancai's eyes. That sharp but unobtrusive light made Xia Weilan know that the person in front of her was no ordinary person.
"Mr. Xu, please come in with me." Xia Weilan instinctively didn't dare to be negligent towards him.
At the morning meeting, Grandpa Xia directly appointed Xu Liancai as the executor of the project. He was only managed by Xia Weilan and didn't need to follow the orders of others.
At the meeting, Xia Ruolin and Xue Zhiqing both wore fake smiles on their faces and didn't dare to make things difficult for Xia Weilan anymore.
"Miss Xia, I've already found out the address of the celebrity Han Yiyang that the company wants to invite. Should I go and make an appointment with him to discuss the cooperation?" After the meeting, the person in charge, Xu, immediately said to Xia Weilan, which showed how efficient this person was.
"Give me the address. I'll go myself. I'll leave the company's affairs to you for now." Xia Weilan said.
After that, Xia Weilan went all the way down to the basement and drove out of the Xia Group.
In the car, Xia Weilan received a call from Ruili:
"Weilan, I'm really sorry. The family matters are really too tricky. I can't get away for a while. Why don't you ask Brother Mo to send another person to protect you?"
"You just focus on your own business. There's nothing dangerous on my side. I don't need a bodyguard." Xia Weilan said while looking at the road conditions.
"Okay, then I'll get back to work." Just as Ruili was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly asked:
"Have you been in touch with Nan Fengyan recently?"
"Nan Fengyan? No. Why?" Xia Weilan asked in surprise.
"It's nothing. Then I'll get back to work. My dad was hospitalized this time, and all the company's affairs have been handed over to me all at once. I won't talk anymore. I'll visit you when I'm free."
After that, Ruili directly hung up the phone.
Xia Weilan sighed. She knew that Ruili had been so busy these days. She didn't expect that even when making a phone call, she was in such a hurry.
Xia Weilan thought whether she should ask Mo Beichen to help Ruili in the business world. But then she thought that with the friendship between Ruili and Mo Beichen, there was no need for her to say anything.
Just like that, Xia Weilan immediately put aside Ruili's matter and drove directly to the hotel where Han Yiyang was staying.
But when she got to the hotel, the receptionist told her that Han Yiyang had just gone out.
Xia Weilan called Han Yiyang's agent again and only then learned that Han Yiyang was having a meal in a nearby restaurant.
In the restaurant, as soon as Xia Weilan entered the hall, she saw Han Yiyang's agent waiting there:
"Miss Xia, Yiyang is having a meal. Please join us for dinner."
The agent was very enthusiastic. Before Xia Weilan had time to be surprised, she was directly invited into the private room by the agent.
"Uncle, I was wrong. I'll definitely not cause trouble casually in the future. Please handle this matter for me, Uncle." A young man's voice came from the private room.
Xia Weilan immediately saw Han Yiyang sitting upright facing her. And in front of him was sitting a man with an extraordinary bearing. The man had his back to Xia Weilan, but the noble aura exuding from his whole body was not unfamiliar to Xia Weilan...
