“Get over here.” 

Wei Hongmei immediately put on the pose of a mother when she saw Xai Weilan coming down. Xia Weilan took her suitcase and walked over, she was anticipating what Wei Hongmei wanted to say. 

“Sit!”

Wei Hongmei gave her a stern look and continued, “Now that you had married a good family and lived a glorious life, don’t you forget about your mother. One should not forget about their roots!”

Xia Weilan’s marriage may not be known by others, but it was no secret within the dame’s social circle. The other day when Wei Hongmei went for a game of Mahjong with the dames, she was stunned when she heard the name, ‘Xia Weilan’. 

“Did you just say that the girl who married the 3rd son of Mo’s Family was Xia Weilan?” Wei Hongmei stood up from the chair immediately. 

It’s only then she learnt that not only did Xia Weilan have an influential grandfather, she also married a remarkable husband. She had indeed risen to fame. After she became the young miss of Xia’s Family, she even got married into a family such as Mo’s. Now when Wei Hongmei saw Xia Weilan again, she had plotted a lot of schemes.

“We have a batch of jewellery that we wanted to collaborate with Mo Corps. They are all superior quality made from stones of the highest quality. Go back and discuss it with your husband. Keep the goodies within the family, let him sign up for this deal.” 

Wei Hongmei felt that she had made a reasonable request. 

But Xia Weilan rejected her immediately, “Are you referring to the batch of defective goods that Ling Jiancheng made last time? Even a small-medium enterprise wouldn’t buy such a thing, why would Mo Corps even possibly want it?”

“Why you little wench! Why are you helping others and going against your family,” Wei Hongmei couldn’t sit anymore. 

She resented, “You need to understand that only when your maiden home is well-off, then you can hold your position in Mo’s Family. Why is it that you can’t understand such a reason? I am your mother, we are on the same ship. If I am living a good life, then you are living a good life too. If I am not living a good life, how can you have a good life!”

Maiden home? 

Xia Weilan smiled. Her voice was cold but incisive, “Xia Family is my maiden home. This place has nothing to do with me anymore.” 

“You…how could you say such a disgraceful thing!” Wei Hongmei was utterly discomfited. 

Her temper rose and she spoke without even thinking, “ You wench! Now that you are capable, do you think you can do whatever you please? I’ve already spoken nicely to you but you won’t listen. I see that you are lacking a  beating, isn’t it? I’m going to beat you to death!” 

Wei Hongmei looked around and went to the side to pick up a broom. She charged toward Xia Weilan in an imposing manner. It was impossible for Xia Weilan to be hit by her again in this life. She remained still and aimed at her weak point, waiting for the right opportunity to retaliate. Suddenly, a powerful hand grabbed on her waist and she was pulled into someone’s arm. A familiar sweet scent drifted into her nose. Mo Beichen was embracing her, protecting her in his arms. He shot a glance at Wei Hongmei with his eyes that were so cold that it could have caused her a frostbite.

If he hadn’t witnessed the scene with his own eyes just now, he wouldn’t even believe that Xia Weilan’s mother was actually an unreasonable b*tch who recklessly bullied and insulted her own daughter. Before, he only knew that Xia Weilan had lived a down and out life previously, but he didn’t know that she had such a mother who persecuted her. 

“Mo…President Mo!” Wei Hongmei stood stiff on the spot holding the broom high up in the air. Her expression was as if she had been slapped a hundred times in public.

“You don’t want to live anymore!” Mo Beichen still held Xia Weilan in his arms. 

“President Mo, you’re mistaken. I’m Weilan’s mother. I’m just trying to scare her,” Wei Hongmei quickly threw the broom on the floor. 

The glare from Mo Beichen made her think that she would die in the next second. Why is her son-in-law so dreadful! 

“My daughter, I am your mother. Quick, help me out with some kind words. I am your closest family in your maiden home,” at this moment, Wei Hongmei had not forgotten about that business even in her guilty conscience. 

“Let’s go!” Xia Weilan didn’t want to see her anymore. 

She gently moved in Mo Beichen’s arm. 

“Alright,” Mo Beichen loosen his grip on her and escorted her out of the house. 

Before he left, he threw a statement, “There is no way in this life that Mo Family will work together with Ling Family!” 

These words were like a bomb, crushing all of Wei Hongmei’s hopes. She stood there with her eyes reddened, her expression looking as if she had been robbed a few billion dollars.     

In the car, Mo Beichen had his hand on Xia Weilan’s shoulders. 

He leaned over and warned her, “Don’t ever come here again if there’s no business here!” 

“Alright,” Xia Weilan said obediently and took the opportunity to rub against his chest causing a wave of erotic sensation. Mo Beichen almost couldn’t maintain his taut expression. 

“Go home!” Mo Beichen moved away and solemnly steered the wheel, getting ready to leave. 

“Haven’t I told you that I will go home by myself later? Why are you here to pick me up?” Xia Weilan fastened her seatbelt joyfully. 

Her expression was like a teenage girl yearning for love. 

“I happened to pass by,” in fact, he was already worried when he knew that she’s going back to the Ling Residence. 

Xia Weilan couldn’t figure out why lately her heart would respond excitedly to whatever Mo Beichen said.  When he said ‘go home’ she was delighted, when he said he happened to pass by, the corners of her lips perked on their own. Those feelings were very strange indeed. It was as if anything that he said could easily amuse her. Her emotions had never been that easily affected before.

" "

Xia Weilan had talked a lot on the way home. She didn’t bother if Mo Beichen was responsive or not. 

“I enrolled in Business Management Studies today. Grandpa said that if there’s anything I don’t understand, I can seek your advice. Are you really that good with it?” 

“I’m not doing too bad.” Mo Beichen was being modest when he said he’s doing too bad. 

Mo Beichen was a graduate from Fudan University holding a double PHD. His brain if put in the academic circle, he was a genius but if put in the business world, he was a wizard. There was nothing that could create difficulties for him. And because of that, he became a legend. After he took over Mo Corps, the Mo Family had become undefeatable in Beijing within a short period of time. One could even say that if Mo Beichen was to stomp his feet, he could cause an earthquake across the whole of Beijing.  

They reached Fairview Imperial Court shortly. Aunt Tian had already prepared dinner and led the other servants to greet Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan at the door. 

“Master, Madam.” Mo Beichen was used to being escorted in such fashion and walked in. Xia Weilan wasn’t inferior as well, she was accustomed to such scenes. She followed up with him from behind. The servants behind them admired Xia Weilan’s elegant temperament. They all felt that the two of them were a match made in heaven.  

That evening, Mo Beichen left after he finished dinner. Xia Weilan sat in the living room, reading while waiting for him to come home like a standard little wife. However, she dozed off on the couch. By the time she woke up, she was already back to her room. Xia Weilan sat up on the bed and rubbed on her disheveled hair. She smiled after she figured out who had brought her in.  

She went to the living room after she was done washing up. Mo Beichen had already left for work. Xia Weilan was checking on the CCTV while having breakfast. Appearing on the CCTV footage was her bedroom in the Ling Family. Xia Weilan squinted as she checked the footage. The design drafts on the desk were already moved by someone.
