Hearing this, Xia Ruolin's face turned even paler.
She never expected Xia Weilan to be so cunning. She had actually installed cameras in the old mansion.
"Don't tell anyone about Ouyang Mingqi being seduced. It'll only make you look bad if this gets out. Do you understand?" Xia Mei frowned and scolded.
Xia Ruolin was unwilling. "Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"You have to swallow this bitter pill even if you don't want to. When talking to others, just say you were depressed because you're pregnant and couldn't control yourself. Don't say anything else." Xia Mei reminded her.
Xia Ruolin sat in the hospital ward, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed with a knife.
Xia Mei was preparing fruits while observing Xia Ruolin's expression. She couldn't help but say, "Honey, that couple is so in love. How could she possibly take a fancy to Ouyang Mingqi? Stop daydreaming."
Xia Ruolin was even more unhappy. But then she thought that even she didn't like Ouyang Mingqi. Now that Xia Weilan had Mo Beichen, how could she like Ouyang Mingqi?
So, was it Ouyang Mingqi who was pestering Xia Weilan? Thinking of the clear - cut content in the photos, Xia Ruolin fell silent.
But why did a woman like Xia Weilan get Mo Beichen's love, while she, who was so outstanding, had to marry Ouyang Mingqi while pregnant, and Ouyang Mingqi still had feelings for Xia Weilan?
Why?
Ouyang Mingqi accompanied his parents to the hospital ward to visit Xia Ruolin. Thinking of Xia Ruolin's embarrassing behavior on the internet, he was dissatisfied but didn't show it.
"Ruolin, are you okay? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?" Ouyang Mingqi asked with concern in front of his parents.
Ouyang's mother also grabbed Xia Ruolin's hand and looked at her belly lovingly. "Oh, how could you be so careless when you're pregnant? It breaks my heart. Tell me what you want to eat. I'll have someone buy it. You need to take good care of yourself."
"Auntie, I'll be more careful next time." Xia Ruolin said meekly, knowing she was in the wrong.
"Don't call me auntie. Call me mom." Ouyang's mother chided.
Xia Ruolin opened her mouth but couldn't say it. She pretended to be shy and lowered her head.
"This girl is still shy." Xia Mei came to her rescue in time.
The incident of Xia Ruolin making a scene in the Xia family's old mansion spread like wildfire on the internet. Xia Ruolin, who had been so high - profile during her engagement not long ago, had actually done such a thing.
From the video, it was clear that Xia Ruolin was the one causing trouble unilaterally. The servants endured it silently. Even when Xia Weilan arrived, she didn't scold her excessively. Instead, she tried to defuse the situation and go upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Xia Ruolin pointed at Xia Weilan's back and wouldn't let it go, which was why she fell.
"Serves her right. I didn't expect this woman, who usually acts so gentle, to be a shrew."
"I was also deceived by her before. She's actually such a person."
The internet was filled with scolding. The employees of the Xia Group felt ashamed when doing business.
With their Miss Xia acting like this, they felt embarrassed too.
At this moment, they thought of Xia Weilan. The eldest Miss Xia never lost her temper casually. If she were in charge of the company, the Xia Group wouldn't be in such a mess.
But even though the Xia Group was already in such a bad state, Mo Beichen didn't plan to let it off easily.
Mo Beichen watched the video on the internet with a cold and solemn expression.
He silently put down the tablet and said to Xu Wei, "How far has the acquisition of the Xia Group progressed?"
"We've already acquired 39%." Xu Wei replied.
"Now, give the order. For all the business deals the Xia family is about to make, our Moying Group will take them. We can't let them have a chance to meet with the other parties."
"Yes." Xu Wei answered and immediately left without hesitation. Mo Beichen was really angry.
In the past, Mr. Mo still considered Old Master Xia and wouldn't really take action against the Xia Group. He only secretly bought some shares sold by the shareholders.
Now, Mr. Mo was really angry and was going to target the Xia Group.
No one knew if the Xia Group could withstand Mr. Mo's anger and survive until his anger subsided.
After giving these orders, Mo Beichen walked out while calling Xia Weilan.
His wife had been bullied like this. How could he ignore it?
In the hospital ward.
When Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen appeared, there were already quite a few people in the room.
Xue Zhiqing, Xia Mei, Ouyang Mingqi and his parents, and Xia Ruolin, who was chatting and laughing on the hospital bed.
When Xia Ruolin saw Mo Beichen come in, her heart skipped a beat. "Brother Mo, you've come to see me."
Mo Beichen walked in with a gloomy face and said coldly, "I'm here for an explanation. How dare you bully my wife?"
Xia Ruolin's smile froze. She glared at Xia Weilan resentfully. "I'm already hurt like this. Who's going to give me an explanation?"
Xia Weilan was amused. "You're just clumsy. Who else can you blame?"
Xue Zhiqing forced a smile. "Beichen, we were wrong in this matter. I've already paid the compensation. As for Ruolin..."
Xue Zhiqing turned to look at Xia Ruolin and ordered, "Apologize quickly."
Xia Ruolin couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse and couldn't tell others about Ouyang Mingqi's infidelity. She didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she reluctantly said to Xia Weilan perfunctorily, "Sorry."
But Mo Beichen still had a cold face.
Ouyang Mingqi couldn't help but stand up and stood in front of Xia Ruolin to protect her. "Ruolin is a pregnant woman after all. Let bygones be bygones. Please don't provoke her anymore."
Xia Ruolin didn't expect Ouyang Mingqi to stand up for her at this time.
Her parents blamed her for offending Mo Beichen by causing trouble. But wasn't Ouyang Mingqi afraid of Mo Beichen? Why was he standing up for her like this?
At this moment, both Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen were a bit surprised. They didn't expect Ouyang Mingqi to be so responsible.
"I'll apologize to you on her behalf," Ouyang Mingqi said. "Please don't make things difficult for her."
After Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen left, Ouyang Mingqi took Xia Ruolin's hand and said lovingly, "Since you're my fiancée, I'm willing to take care of you for the rest of your life. Don't think too much. Just take good care of the baby."
Xia Ruolin's eyes turned red. She was a bit touched.
"Don't cry. You can't get too excited now." Ouyang Mingqi said softly. "As long as the baby is born, I'll definitely treat you both well."
The parents of both sides exchanged glances, with satisfaction in their eyes.
Actually, when Ouyang Mingqi learned that his child almost didn't make it, his face turned white with fright. He felt as if a part of his heart had been hollowed out. He didn't want to experience that sense of loss again, so he must coax Xia Ruolin to give birth to the child first.
Ouyang Mingqi picked up a bowl of porridge from the table, scooped up a spoonful, tasted the temperature himself, and then fed it to Xia Ruolin. "Eat something first. This is good for pregnant women."
Xia Ruolin suddenly felt warm in her heart. She put aside her prejudice and ate several mouthfuls with the spoon. After that, she fell asleep peacefully.
