At the police station, Second Master Xia was locked in a room, waiting for interrogation. To his surprise, the one who came in was Xia Ruolin.
"What are you doing here? Come to laugh at me?" Second Master Xia snorted through his nose, extremely annoyed.
He had capsized in a small gutter, but luckily, he hadn't left any crucial evidence behind. Those two hooligans had nothing but empty words.
"I'm here to bail you out!" Xia Ruolin sat down opposite him. Disdainful in her heart, she was tactful and polite on the surface.
Second Master Xia looked at her suspiciously. "Are you really that kind - hearted?"
It was well - known that before Xia Weilan appeared, Second Master Xia and Xia Ruolin's family had been constantly suppressing each other in a bid for the family fortune. They had always looked down on each other.
"Second Master, you know that I've always been overshadowed by Xia Weilan in the company. And you haven't achieved much in the company either. To be honest, if we fight alone, we're no match for Xia Weilan. That girl is very cunning, and she has Mo Beichen backing her up. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been tricked into the police station by her. Second Master, our goals are the same."
Xia Ruolin gently raised her slender and delicate eyebrows and calmly looked at him, as if she really regarded him as an ally.
The two of them stared at each other meaningfully.
"A temporary ally? Do you think I'm a child? I might be stabbed in the back by you one day, and it would be too late for me to regret." Although Second Master Xia was already wavering, he pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Second Master, you're originally a member of the Xia family, but you only got 20% of the shares. And I, as a young lady of the Xia family, born and raised in the Xia family, yet Grandpa wants to give all the shares to Xia Weilan. You see, how unfair fate is to us? If we join hands and drive Xia Weilan out, in the future, we both have a chance to split the company's shares equally. Otherwise, neither of us will get anything!"
After Xia Ruolin finished speaking, a greedy glint flashed in Second Master Xia's eyes for a moment and was quickly concealed.
"You're right. I'll cooperate with you!" Second Master Xia softened his expression.
"Second Master, I'll go and bail you out right away. As for those two hooligans, I'll help you deal with them. This is also a show of my sincerity." With that, Xia Ruolin walked out.
Not long after, the police opened the door of the interrogation room and told Second Master Xia that he could leave.
Second Master Xia didn't expect Xia Ruolin to have such capabilities. He hadn't seen her this powerful before.
Could there be someone behind her?
Second Master Xia was released after only two days in the police station, which greatly surprised Xia Weilan. She had thought he would be locked up for ten or fifteen days.
Xia Weilan assumed that Second Master Xia had some connections. Since he was released, it was likely that those two hooligans had changed their stories. Xia Weilan was unhappy but helpless.
One day, Xia Weilan was packing in the Splendid Royal Mansion. She put two sets of clothes that Mo Beichen would wear into a small suitcase, carefully matched a tie, and after some thought, took out underwear from the closet and put it in as well.
After she finished packing, Mo Beichen walked in from outside.
"Hubby, it's done." Xia Weilan picked up the small suitcase and reluctantly handed it to Mo Beichen.
"I'm just going on a two - day business trip. I'll be back soon." Mo Beichen looked calm, unlike Xia Weilan, who had been clinging to him reluctantly since yesterday.
Xia Weilan saw Mo Beichen off to the front gate. Seeing that Mo Beichen was about to get in the car, she quickly caught up on her heels and pulled open the car door.
Mo Beichen raised his eyebrows. After she got in and closed the door, he said to the driver, "Drive."
A strange look flashed in Mo Beichen's dark pupils. Without saying much, he just pulled her into his arms.
"Call me when you arrive!" Xia Weilan saw Mo Beichen off to the ticket - checking gate.
"Okay." Mo Beichen responded and turned to walk in.
On the other side, Ouyang Mingqi watched the two figures from afar and stood there motionless.
Ouyang Mingqi narrowed his deep eyes slightly and said to Secretary Liu, "You go and drive the car first. Wait for me at the main entrance."
At the main entrance of the airport, the Mo family's driver was still waiting there and didn't notice that Xia Weilan had already walked out of the airport.
"Weilan!" Ouyang Mingqi quickly walked towards her, grabbed her arm, turned her around, and forcefully pulled her into the car.
"Ouyang Mingqi, what are you doing!" Xia Weilan looked at the car that immediately drove off and eyed him warily.
Ouyang Mingqi looked innocent. "I just want to talk to you without being disturbed!"
Xia Weilan stared into his deep and unfathomable peach - blossom eyes, forcibly suppressing her anger. "Stop the car!"
"Weilan," Ouyang Mingqi pleaded. "Just listen to me. After I finish, I'll let you get off. Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there."
Xia Weilan stared blankly at Ouyang Mingqi. For a moment, she almost thought that the man in front of her was the one she had been infatuated with in her past life. He used to be obedient to her, but it was all a disguise. Even now, she couldn't see through the tricks he was playing.
"Weilan, I really like you. Please give me a chance. Even if it's just to be your lover, I'm willing!"
After Ouyang Mingqi finished speaking, without waiting for Xia Weilan's reaction, he pressed her shoulders and tried to kiss her.
Xia Weilan immediately struggled violently. The disgust in her eyes made Ouyang Mingqi stop.
"If you dare to touch me, try it!" Xia Weilan glared at him.
"Sir, there's a car following us, and the driver has excellent skills." Secretary Liu nervously stared at the rear - view mirror.
Ouyang Mingqi released his hold on Xia Weilan. A look of pain flashed in his eyes. "You hate me so much that you even trample on my humble request!"
Xia Weilan looked at him speechlessly. "Let me get off now. I'm already a married woman, and I disdain such dirty and sneaky things. Mr. Ouyang, find someone else."
Secretary Liu saw Ouyang Mingqi's cold and gloomy face and broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
"Stop the car!" Ouyang Mingqi suddenly said in a low voice. Secretary Liu stepped on the accelerator and immediately turned to the side of the road and stopped.
At this moment, the Audi that had been following them also braked suddenly. The two cars almost collided.
Xia Weilan immediately opened the door and walked towards the Audi behind. An Shan, who got out of the car, quickly walked to her side and checked on her.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Let's go." Xia Weilan said calmly and then got in the car.
At this moment, Ouyang Mingqi's car sped away in a cloud of dust.
An Shan sat in the driver's seat and calmly observed Xia Weilan's expression.
"Don't tell Beichen about this. I don't want him to be distracted during his business trip." Xia Weilan suddenly said to An Shan.
"Madam, Mr. Mo told me to inform him immediately if there's any danger. I've already sent him a text message to report. Mr. Mo will see it as soon as he gets off the plane." An Shan replied coldly but respectfully.
Xia Weilan's eyebrows twitched. She felt totally fed up.
