“Why you! Xia Weilan, you dare insult me!” Ling Xuefei gritted and raised her hand to slap her. Xia Weilan’s lips formed an evil smile and quickly reached out to grab her wrist. All that could be heard was a crisp sound of bone breaking! “Oh my! Oh my god! Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei! What happened to your hand?” Wei Hongmei hurriedly held Ling Xiaofei. Her expression was exaggerated as if she’s the one with the broken hand.

It’s a pity that Ling Xuefei did not appreciate her kindness. She kicked her, “Go away b*tch! Look what your good daughter did! You are all a bunch of ungrateful things! You ate and spent the pennies from our family but bullied me in return. I’m telling my dad to drive all of you out!” “No! Please don’t tell your father! I’ll help you vent your anger now. I’ll beat this bastard girl to death!”

Wei Hongmei feared Ling Jianye. In order to cool Ling Xuefei down, she ran to the courtyard to pick up a shovel and wanted to hit Xia Weilan with it. “Unfilial girl! Always creating troubles for me! I’ll beat the hell out of you!” Just when the shovel was about to hit Xia Weilan’s shoulder, a deep strong voice shouted from outside. “Stop!” An elderly man around seventy with half a head of white hairs stood at the door. He wore a tang suit with handmade embroidery and a rare black jade thumb ring. He looked simple and unadorned but yet manifested a respectable and dignified image. Ten bodyguards followed behind him.

“Who dares to lay a hand on our young miss. Do you not want to live anymore?” A man with a swallow-tailed coat shouted while staring at Wei Hongmei. She’d never seen such a scene before. She lowered the shovel in her hand. “The young miss of your house is?” Butler Zhao paid no attention to her. He immediately walked in front of Xia Weilan and took a deep bow. His eyes were filled with emotional tears. “Young miss. We’ve finally found you. The old master is here to bring you home.” 

Xia Weilan looked at the elderly man who stood at the door. She felt tears welled up in her eyes. This is the grandfather who loved her the most! In her past life, she had hurt his feelings with her willfulness. This life, she will definitely be the most obedient granddaughter. She really wanted to run into his arms and let out a cry, but this is not the right time. She could only act confused and asked Butler Zhao, “ Uncle, why are you addressing me as young miss?” This time, it was old master Xia who replied, “Your father is Xia Zhengchen. He is my son, so that makes you my only granddaughter. As to your question, I’ll slowly answer it once we are home. Spending a second in this place is an insult to both of us.”

He had already investigated all the wrongdoings of the Ling Family toward his granddaughter and he’s sending someone to deal with them. The main priority now is to find his granddaughter. Same as her past life, Xia Weilan nodded and followed the old master. After all, the Ling Residence is like a demon cave that she couldn’t wait to escape. “Hey! Old Master! I am Xia Zhenchen’s wife!” Never in her wildest dream had Wei Hongmei guessed that his dead husband had a wealthy-looking father. Since he came here looking for his granddaughter, he should also give some benefit to his daughter-in-law too.

Old master Xia turned around. His muddy eyes suddenly gleamed like a sharp knife, “If you dare to mention Xia Zhengchen again, I’ll break your teeth!” A woman like this doesn’t even deserve to be a sweeper in his house.  How could Wei Hongmei let go of such a good opportunity to dig up some gold? “Your daughter?” Old master Xia asked with sarcasm. He turned around and asked Xia Weilan, “Tell me, my child. Do you recognize this woman as your mother?” “No!” Xia Weilan blurted and left with old master Xia. She’s very determined to leave this place.

When she reached Xia Residence, Xia Weilan patiently listened to her  father’s story. Her father was a soldier during his younger days. He lost his memories in one of the missions and wandered around. In his backpack was a pen with his name – Xia Zhengchen written on it. He then met Wei Hongmei and married her. But he died in a car accident a few years after Xia Weilan was born. Old master Xia had been looking for him all these years. He only learned about all this recently. Hearing such grievous news of his only son made him aged in an instant. Thankfully God is merciful. His granddaughter is still alive. After learning that his granddaughter had lived a pitiful life with the Ling family, he intended to drive them out from Beijing. Eventually, Xia Weilan still held on to the bond of her blood relationship with her mother. They will not interfere with each other’s business in the future.

A week later, old master Xia held a banquet at the one and only seven-star hotel in Beijing. He wanted to formally introduce his granddaughter to everyone in the upper class. In the second floor’s private room, Mo Beichen lazily sat with his back leaning on the back of the chair. He shook the wine glass in his hand with a sullen mood. Nan Fengyan watched with amusement, “ I wonder what this lost granddaughter of Xia family looks like?” Although the Xia family still falls behind the Mo family in terms of economic capability, they are still highly respected in Beijing. That’s why everyone is interested in this genuine heir of the Xia family.

Mo Beichen couldn’t care less and heaved a sigh of relief, “What else are you expecting? Hair that’s yellowish and dry with a chubby tanned face.” Isn’t that how those lost princesses in the ancient time look like? Nan Fengyan curled his lips, “Beichen, you better pray that Lady Xia is better than that. I’ve heard that your grandfather already announced that they will head over to the Xia Residence to propose marriage for you.” He added, “What’s your grandfather thinking? He didn’t let you marry the elegant Xia Roulin but insisted that you marry a girl with an anonymous background. Are they both daughters of the Xia family?”

Just as Nan Fengyan wanted to speak up again, there was a commotion coming from the lobby downstairs. At the entrance, a beautiful girl wearing a green chiffon dress walked in while holding on to old master Xia. The girl’s skin is fair as snow and her eyebrows are as refined as that of a willow. She’s tall and slim. She looks incredible. Her beautiful eyes sparkle like a diamond and her smile is as warm as the sun. Everyone is curious how is it that the lost child of Xia’s family is comparable to Xia Roulin who grew up in a pampered environment? 

“Isn’t this the girl that you rescued from Fuli Imperial City?” Nan Fengyan stood up in surprise. Mo Beichen was stunned too. That girl and he are from a completely different world. He thought that they would never meet each other again for the rest of their lives. Who would have guessed they met again so soon, she’s now the granddaughter of old master Xiao, the most valuable heir in Beijing. “Haha!” Nan Fengchen is enjoying the scene, “It’s destined! This girl wanted to go with you even before knowing you. It turns out that her sixth sense is telling her that you are her future husband!”
