Xia Weilan murmured to herself, then turned around and gave Mo Beichen a coquettish glare. She pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed.
Mo Beichen kept silent and let her arrange everything. The next second, he saw his little wife mumbling something as she filled a bowl of porridge and placed it in his hand. "Are you hungry? I came a bit late this morning. You didn't get up because you were starving, did you?"
Mo Beichen took the bowl and chopsticks. His eyes fell on Xia Weilan's face. He didn't comment on her soliloquy. Instead, he hooked his lips, finding Xia Weilan quite interesting.
It wouldn't be bad to keep her by his side during this time, accompanying him all the time.
However, he couldn't keep delaying things like this.
"I'm almost fully recovered," Mo Beichen said. He looked at Xia Weilan calmly. "I think I can be discharged from the hospital today."
"Discharged? Your injuries aren't fully healed yet." Xia Weilan frowned at him. Seeing that his complexion was normal and there was no sign of the illness from a few days ago, she was still worried that his wound might accidentally split open.
"My wound has healed. If you don't believe me, take a look." Mo Beichen said as he moved his arm to show her that he could move freely.
"Alright, alright. Don't move. Eat your meal first. I'll go through the discharge procedures later. Really, you don't know how to take care of yourself at all." Xia Weilan thought to herself that if she hadn't come to take care of Mo Beichen every day recently, given his non -chalant nature, his wound would have split open several times. Xia Weilan felt like a mother, worrying about everything.
"Okay." Mo Beichen hooked his lips, hiding the playfulness in his eyes. The next second, he lowered his head and silently drank the porridge. This was the porridge made by Xia Weilan herself, and Mo Beichen cherished it very much. When he put the bowl down again, there wasn't a single grain of rice left in the bowl. It had all gone into Mo Beichen's stomach.
Seeing that he had such a good appetite, Xia Weilan felt relieved.
She was curious about how much Mo Beichen could eat. Every time, no matter what she gave him, he could finish it all, as if his stomach was a bottomless pit.
Just like this, the two of them spent a leisurely time in the hospital.
It was almost noon when Xia Weilan went to go through the discharge procedures.
Mo Beichen returned to the Mo Mansion, while Xia Weilan rushed directly to the company to deal with the documents that needed to be approved today.
As soon as she entered the company, the employees were all discussing something that had happened that morning.
"I heard that Second Master Xia hired a killer to deal with Miss Xia. Fortunately, Miss Xia was lucky and managed to escape."
"I heard that Second Master Xia was just arrested by the police in the lobby."
"Tsk tsk tsk. You really can't judge a book by its cover. Hush, here comes the miss."
The employees who were gossiping together immediately shut up when they saw Xia Weilan coming in. They all looked at her with complex expressions.
Xia Weilan didn't know this news yet. It wasn't until she entered the chairman's office that her secretary reported to her that Second Master Xia had been arrested directly in the company.
"Chairman, why didn't you say anything when you were attacked? If this hadn't happened today, we wouldn't have known!" The secretary was indignant for Xia Weilan. "Second Master Xia is too much. It's good that he was arrested, so that he won't cause any more trouble to the company."
Many people in the company still had a grudge because of Second Master Xia's misjudgment, which almost bankrupted the company.
Xia Weilan was stunned. "You mean Second Master Xia did that?"
"Don't you know, President?" The secretary was also a bit stunned. Then she said, "Second Master Xia has been arrested. This matter is probably true."
Xia Weilan was silent for a moment. Could it be that Old Master Mo had found out about this? Mo Beichen hadn't mentioned a word about the culprit in the past few days. He had left everything to Old Master Mo.
Grandpa was really decisive. It gave her quite a shock.
"Alright, don't mention this matter again in the future," Xia Weilan said to her secretary.
The secretary responded and immediately handed the documents in her hand to Xia Weilan. Xia Weilan looked like a true leader. Her expression immediately became serious, and she really resembled Mo Beichen a bit. Maybe all leaders would become prudent and serious.
What Xia Weilan didn't expect was that not only did Xia Ruolin not come to the meeting that afternoon, but even Xue Zhiqing was absent.
The two of them weren't on a business trip. Instead, they went to the police station together.
At the police station, Xia Ruolin wanted to get Second Master Xia out, but she found that she had no way to do it. Second Master Xia's case had solid evidence. He couldn't even be bailed out.
In the room, Xia Ruolin and Second Master Xia were alone.
When Second Master Xia heard that Xia Ruolin couldn't do anything, he angrily pointed at her and scolded, "Why are you so useless? You can't even get me bailed out. Have you really tried to find a way?"
Xia Ruolin was busy running around while being pregnant. Hearing Second Master Xia say this, her noble temper flared up. "Who is it that didn't do things cleanly and got caught with such a big handle?"
She didn't know what means the Mo family had used, but the killer actually confessed Second Master Xia.
Second Master Xia's face darkened. He suddenly stared at Xia Ruolin seriously. "If I'm finished, you won't have it easy either."
"What do you mean?" Xia Ruolin narrowed her eyes and looked at Second Master Xia in disbelief.
When Xia Ruolin came out of the room, Xue Zhiqing had just hung up the phone. He walked over and shook his head at Xia Ruolin. "I don't know what's going on this time. I've tried every possible connection, but nothing works. They said that the higher -ups have been keeping an eye on this case, and there's no way to smooth things over."
"Who else could it be? Only Mo Beichen has such great influence," Xia Ruolin said coldly. She thought that Mo Beichen was putting pressure behind this, but she didn't know that this time, it was Old Master Mo who was directly involved.
"It seems that we can't do anything," Xue Zhiqing sighed. Out of family affection, he had done his best.
"We can't just let it go like this. There's still one way," Xia Ruolin suddenly said.
As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, Xia Ruolin couldn't give up. Otherwise, Second Master Xia would expose what she had done.
In the afternoon, just as Xia Weilan came out of the meeting room, she saw Xia Ruolin and Xue Zhiqing coming late.
"Weilan, I need to talk to you," Xia Ruolin said with a righteous look on her face.
In the chairman's office, the door was closed by Xue Zhiqing when he came in. Only then did Xia Ruolin speak. "Weilan, no matter what, Second Master is our relative. Besides, he's old. A sentence of ten or twenty years is like a death sentence. Can you spare him and not sue him?"
Xia Ruolin looked heart -broken about the disharmony in the family.
Xia Weilan silently watched Xia Ruolin acting. She said calmly, "Is that all you came to say?"
Where did Xia Ruolin get the confidence to come and plead for mercy?
Seeing that Xia Weilan's attitude was not good, Xue Zhiqing immediately joined in to persuade her. "Weilan, you're still a Xia after all. Second Master already knows his mistake. Can you do us a favor?"
"Why didn't he do me a favor when he wanted to kill me?" Xia Weilan turned around and looked out of the window. The sun was setting. Xia Weilan thought that she had to go and see Mo Beichen early tonight, in case he didn't know his limits and damaged his wound again.
Xue Zhiqing looked a bit embarrassed. He sighed. "Weilan, now our interests are tied together. If you do well, we'll do well. Uncle made some mistakes in the past. Now that the company is developing so well, I'll definitely cooperate with you well. As for your second uncle, think about his gray hair. It's so tragic for an old man to spend the rest of his life in prison. Don't you think so?"
Xia Weilan was unmoved. She wasn't a saint. There was no reason for her to show mercy to someone who wanted to kill her just because she felt sorry for his remaining years. "It's no use begging me about this. If you want to plead, go and beg Old Master Mo. Grandpa won't let me interfere in this matter."
At this moment, Xia Weilan was actually a bit grateful to Old Master Mo. Maybe he didn't want her to be in a difficult situation, so he didn't let her get involved in this matter.
