Xue Zhiqing’s face was absolutely hideous. 

He turned his glare at Xia Roulin, “You wretch! Apologize to your sister now. What are you waiting for!” 

“Dad!” Xia Roulin was unwilling to. 

She had plotted all of this but in the end Xia Weilan got away without a single scratch and she even lost her virginity. And now she’s the one who needs to apologize some more! But she had to swallow the pain. No matter how unwilling she was, eventually, Xia Roulin had to forcefully suppress it.  

“Sis, I did this because I was confused. Thank goodness you are not hurt. Forgive me just this once,” Xia Roulin said stiffly but still kept her head high with her chest out. 

“You may have apologized, but I don’t accept it!” 

“What?” Xia Roulin’s eyes widened. 

“You…what more do you want me to do?”

Xia Roulin bit her lips tenaciously and her eyes were bloodshot red. She looked as if she was about to crumble from being wronged. Old master Xia took a glance at Xia Roulin and his heart softened a little.

“Grandpa,” Xia Weilan stood in front of Old master Xia. 

She was neither humble nor pushy, “Grandpa, do you think I am merciless? That day I was almost raped by the person that Xia Roulin bribed. If it wasn’t for Mo Beichen arriving in time, I was almost destroyed by Xia Roulin!”

Old master Xia clenched his fist and announced in an imposing tone, “From now on, Xue Zhiqing will hand over his duty as the company’s manager and Xia Roulin will be grounded for a month for strict disciplinary action!” 

It was obvious that Old master Xia did not feel good for making this decision. He was already seventy years old and had always been hale and hearty. At this moment, his expression was a little dull.

Up until now, Xue Zhiqing who was already furious. 

He instructed the servants impatiently, “Bring young miss into the room now. Do not let her out without my permission.” 

“Yes.” Two servants stood on each side and brought Xia Roulin away. 

Xue Zhiqing turned around to look at Xia Weilan with his dark eyes concealing an unknown implication. He had not expected that this girl would not care about sentiment and face. 

But he still said with a smiling face, “My niece, you did right this time. Thank you for not disclosing this to the public and preserving Roulin’s reputation. I will discipline her strictly. On behalf of Roulin, I bow and apologize to you.”

Xue Zhiqing was able to take a temporary setback. He bowed his body to 90 degrees, setting his posture to the lowest. 

Xia Weilan was startled, “ Uncle, there’s no need for this.” 

At this point, if Xia Weilan still refuses to let go of this matter, it would show that she failed to appreciate the favors and is bullying her uncle. Sure enough, Old master Xia did not give Xue Zhiqing a hard time. 

This matter was put to an end.

At night. 

Xie Weilan told Mo Beichen what happened earlier. 

“It’s not too bad that she’s grounded for a month. I didn’t even put too much hope on this. After all, she grew up in the Xia’s Family. For sure grandpa couldn’t bring himself to do it. But as long as I am able to let Grandpa realize what she had done, my goal has been achieved.”  

Xia Weilan leaned beside the window that’s ablaze with lights from other houses while chatting with Mo Beichen over a video call. 

“You’re so easily satisfied? Good for nothing,” Mo Beichen stared at her beautiful face that radiant with happiness. 

“Oh yea, what pictures did you give Xia Roulin?” Xia Weilan didn’t know about Xia Roulin being slipped on a drug.  

“There’s nothing inside!” Mo Beichen dodged her stare as he said. 

He didn’t want her to know about this as she’s still young. All that she needs to do was to stay underneath his wings as he has the power and influence to keep her safe. 

“Pfff…” Xia Weilan couldn’t help but let out a laugh as though she had thought about something funny.

“Does your leg still hurt?” Mo Beichen suddenly thought about something. 

He looked at her in silence. 

“It’s all good already,” Xia Weilan fluttered her lashes in a guilty conscience. 

She didn’t want Mo Beichen to know that she was bullied in school. But of course, Mo Beichen was just pretending that he didn’t know about it.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, Xia Weilan glanced at his side profile that was well defined, her heart feeling peculiar. In the video, Mo Beichen didn’t say or do anything special but yet he suddenly gave others a biting cold feeling. The light cast shadows on his face, making his outline even more solid, emitting an indescribable attraction and…danger. 

“Are you done staring?” 

Mo Beichen suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was deep and rich, like red wine that was stirred. 

“Not just yet,” Xia Weilan shook her head and continued staring at him. 

Her eyes were like the beautiful glistering stars.

“It’s perfectly right and proper for me to stare at my own husband.”

A glow of light flashed across Mo Beichen’s eyes when he heard her words. 

He spoke in a low charming voice, “Do you know that it’s very dangerous for a girl to look at a man like this?” 

Xia Weilan’s ears were tingling from his flirtatious voice. She trembled subconsciously and held her phone further away from her with her trembling hands to get further away from that invasive face.

Mo Beichen curled his lips but he didn’t continue to tease this young and innocent girl. 

“Alright, get some early rest tonight.” 

“Goodnight,” after she ended the video call, Xia Weilan touched her cheeks that were slightly hot and secretly scolded herself for being good for nothing.

The next day.

As soon as Xia Weilan entered the exam hall, she found that Ling Xuefei was seated at the seat beside her. 

Ling Xuefei immediately stood up, “What bad luck to be seated next to you!” 

“If you don’t like it, you can go away,” Xia Weilan said coolly as she took out her pen and rulers. 

Ling Xuefei stomped her feet in hatred but didn’t make any trouble this time.

Very soon, the preliminary examination of the Jewelry Design faculty began. The subject that Ling Xuefei drew out was Spring, with a material picture of red carnelian. She immediately cast a glance at Xia Weilan and found out that Xia Weilan’s subject was snow and the picture of the material was a pearl.

“Isn’t mine a bonus point?” Ling Xuefei couldn’t help but feel happy. 

Her subject and material were both grandeur and Xia Weilan’s material was merely an unremarkable pearl.  

After Xia Weilan saw the topic, she sat there in silence. It looked as if she was baffled. 

“Why? There’s no need to keep holding on if you are incapable. I’m almost done designing. It’s such a pity that you haven’t even started.” Ling Xuefei spoke in a voice that is only audible to both of them. 

She even stealthily knocked on her using her elbow. 

“Ling Xuefei, this place is under close monitoring. You are affecting me taking my exam. If I report this,  you will be asked to go outside!” Xia Weilan turned around and cast a stern glare at her with a voice that was not too loud. 

A few classmates who sat closeby were already looking at them with an impatient look especially toward Ling Xuefei who was obviously misconducting.  

After being reprimanded like such. Ling Xuefei was immediately furious. 

The invigilator looked toward this direction and asked, “This student, are you done with your paper?” 

“Not yet, teacher,” Ling Xuefei quickly retreats like a well-behaved student. 

The invigilator walked away.

Ling Xuefei was already halfway through her design, but her mind was suddenly like a paste now. She had forgotten what she had designed in her head earlier on. When she lifted her head once again, she saw Xia Weilan rustling on the paper. She was definitely furious. By the time the exam finally ended, Ling Xuefei handed in her paper with a lousy design. Her face was pale. 

“Xia Weilan, I know you are bad luck! You affected me taking my exam!” Ling Xuefei immediately stopped Xia Weilan who was about to stand up.
