Xia Weilan couldn’t bear this sound, she turned around and found Gu Yuwei trembling in a corner. 

“Don’t worry. Before anything happened to me, I will make sure that nothing happened to you,” Xia Weilan pulled her up from the floor and let her sit on the box.

The sound of door kicking became increasingly intense accompanied by Ling Xuefei shouts, “Xia Weilan, aren’t you very capable? Why are you hiding? Come out now and let’s see if I’ll beat you to death.” 

“Xue Fei is out of her mind, let’s report this to the professor.” Gu Yuwei picked up her phone with her trembling hands. 

“It’s too late for that, they are about to barge in.” 

Xia Weilan stared blankly at the door that was about to give way. Gu Yuwei dropped her phone on the floor in shock when she heard what Xia Weilan had said. 

Xia Weilan glanced around her surroundings calmly and eventually her gaze traced along the light that came from the ceiling board. There was an air duct that led to the outside. 

“Let’s go, I’ll get you out first,” Xia Weilan immediately dragged Gu Yuwei. 

They stepped on top a few boxes and started to climb up. The air duct was not firmly secured so they were able to take the cover off very quickly. They crawled inside one after the other. However, there was a three meters high bunt wall in front of them, thus they could only stay on the roof.

‘Bang!’ the noise of the huge metal door fell onto the floor. It shook the roof and both of them felt their chest tightened. 

“What should we do?” Gu Yuwei tugged on Xia Weilan’s sleeve. She’s trembling all over. 

“It’s ok, you stay right here. I’ll guard the duct’s entrance and not let anyone come in. We are in a favourable location.” 

" "

Xia Weilan asked Gu Youwei to sit on the small stone pier outside the duct and she turned around to stare closely on the entrance of the air duct.

“They’re up there!” 

“Go grab them!” Ling Xuefei shouted in fury. 

Xia Weilan waited and suddenly she heard fighting noises coming from below. It was extremely violent and after a short while, everything went silent.

“Xia Weilan, are you up there?” 

Mo Beichen took care of those hooligans and called out toward the ceiling, his voice tensed.

“I’m here,” Xia Weilan was overjoyed when she heard Mo Beichen calling her name.

She hurriedly jumped toward the boxes below and immediately plunged into his broad chest.

Mo Beichen was a little embarrassed. He had always been meticulous but now, his hair was a little messy and his shirt was wrinkled.

“Are you alright?” Mo Beichen pulled away from her. 

He swept his eyes over her body and let out a sigh of relief. 

Xia Weilan didn’t expect that he would push her away in such a touching scene. But it was only at this moment that she realized Mo Beichen was in an awkward predicament. Her nose suddenly went sour and tears flowed down her cheeks. 

“Mo Beichen, why did you push me away!” Xia Weilan pounced into his arms once again.

Inside the narrow storeroom, the hooligans were laying on the floor while Ling Xuefei was sitting on the floor, her face white as sheet. The principal hurried over as soon as he heard the news, stood on the door and saw the situation inside the storeroom. His face was absolutely hideous. 

“Ahem…Are you hurt, President Mo?” 

The two people who were hugging turned their heads together. Mo Beichen held Xia Weilan’s hand as they walked outside together.

“Principal, there has been a siege in school again…” Mo Beichen’s stern voice was full of anger. 

“Yes, I’ll deal with it strictly,” the principal said sternly. 

He must provide a proper explanation to Mo Beichen on this matter. When he saw Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan hugging just now, he already knew that they were couples. He definitely doesn’t dare to take this matter lightly. Mo Beichen didn’t reply and walked away with Xia Weilan. 

“Principal, Gu Yuwei is still on the balcony,” Xia Weilan reminded him before she left. 

Mo Beichen kept his pace steadily while holding onto her hand as if he was recovering from the shock. He remained silent. Shortly after, both of them returned to Fairview Imperial Court.

“Xia Weilan, did you ever think of telling me Ling Xuefei had been bullying you repeatedly at school?” Mo Berchen looked sullen and his eyes were as deep as a bottomless pit. 

If it wasn’t because he was worried today and went to school earlier to inspect her, he wouldn’t have heard the news and rushed to her in time,  Xia Weilan might not be standing here without a single scratch! 

“I thought that I could handle it well by myself,” Xia Weilan lowered her head and mumbled. 

She didn’t see this coming too. All the servants withdrew from the living room as they were shocked by Mo Beichen’s fury. 

Mo Beichen walked forward and sat on the sofa. He was not pleased. 

“You can handle it? I’ve given you so many days to handle it, and look what happened? Xia Weilan, I will take over this matter from now on. I’ll get that woman to transfer out from the school and remove her once and for all!”  

Xia Weilan rubbed her nose. She didn’t understand what he meant by he had given her many days for she knew nothing about it. But Xia Weilan felt her heart aching when she saw him angry and in an awkward predicament. 

She obediently said, “ Thank you for saving me. I’ve done wrong previously, I’ll definitely rely on you in the future.” 

In an instant, Mo Beichen’s anger didn’t escalate but disappeared without a single trace instead.

Xia Weilan leaned over and gave him two pecks on the cheeks.

“But I wanted to get back at Ling Xuefei with my own hands. How can I do that if you expelled her?” Xia Weilan said fearlessly. 

Mo Beichen’s eyes turned cold when he heard her words. 

“What are you thinking? Xia Weilan, why do you even want to keep this pile of dog poop beside you just to disgust yourself?” 

‘Puff’ Xia Weilan never expected that Mo Beichen would curse someone so nastily. 

“Yes, she’s a pile of dog poop. But I have a better punishment for her.”

“Eh?” Mo Beichen straightened his shirt and glared at her. 

“Hubby, let her apologize to me in front of the whole school. Ling Xuefei really values her reputation. This would pissed her off more than making her transfer to another school.” 

Xia Weilan winked in an attempt to fawn at him. Mo Beichen was dazed and it was as if he saw a tiny tail wiggling behind Xia Weilan. He couldn’t help but let himself pamper her.

On the other side.

At school, the principal scolded Ling Xuefei fiercely but she wasn’t afraid of him. To her, it wasn’t a big deal as she might as well quit from this school. Once she transferred to another school, she would still be able to go by her own way in the new school. Seeing that she was not convinced, the principal was so upset that he intended to expel her on the spot.  

Suddenly, his phone rang and he took the call at a corner and his expression was tense. 

He ended the call and informed Ling Xuefei, “President Mo is being generous that he would let this matter pass as long as you apologize to Xia Weilan in front of all the students and teachers in the school.”

“No way! You can punish me another way. But to apologize in public? It’s better off for you to kill me,” Ling Xuefei’s neck stiffened. 

“If it has to be like this way now, why do you act that way at that time!” the principal flinged his sleeve and he was determined.

For the next few days, Ling Xuefei applied for absent leave to stay at home, not daring to go to school. Wei Hongmei knocked on her door a few times, trying to persuade her to go to school. In the end, Ling Xuefei threw a pillow at her. 

“There’s no need for you to act like you care. This is the good doing of your daughter. You are all bullies! Get out, scram!” 

Wei Hongmei was forced to get out, she was fuming in anger and cursing Xia Weilan as a lowlife!
