Huang Yinyin’s heart skipped a beat. The moment she wanted to take a step forward, she didn’t expect that Mo Beichen walked past her and held Xia Weilan’s hand. 

He lowered his gaze and asked, “Does your leg still hurt?”

“It’s not painful anymore.” Xia Weilan smiled.

“We’ll go to the infirmary. I’ll help you to put some medicine.” Mo Beichen said softly.

“Ahem. Mo-ge, hurry up and bring her away. I’ll go for lunch on my own.” Rui Li raised her eyebrows and joked. After all, she does have a good friendship with Mo Beichen and this guy turned out to outweigh the relationship over friendship.

“Okay, let’s go.” Mo Beichen then said to Rui Li, “I’ll bring this little girl to check her injury. I’ll call you again later. We’ll have lunch together.”

“No problem.” Rui Li was satisfied.

Mo Beichen held Xia Weilan’s hand and led her to the infirmary.

“President Mo. Is Xia Weilan hurt?” A school director reacted and asked.

“There’s no need to accompany me. I can deal with this myself.” Mo Biechen walked away with Xia Weilan without turning his head back. 

The few school directors who stood on the spot looked at each other and walked their separate ways. Rui Li left too, leaving Huang Yinyin who still stared blankly at the silhouette of the two people holding hands as if she had been struck by lightning.

“Yinyin, stop staring. I just heard others saying that the girl’s name was Xia Weilan. She’s an old family friend of the Mo Family. The two families had a close relationship.”

“Yeah. Let’s go now. The other students are looking at us making a fool of ourselves.”

Huang Yinyin stomped her feet and left.

On the forest path, even if Mo Beichen didn’t do anything, he was still the most beautiful scenery. He attracted a lot of attention.

“My gosh. Did my eyes play tricks on me? Xia Weilan is holding hands with Mo Beichen?”

“Don’t tell me Xia Weilan had already courted Mo Beichen?”

“Who knows? It looked like they were very close with each other.”

In the infirmary, the doctor happened to be out. Xia Weilan sat on the chair with Mo Beichen standing in front of her. He took out a medicine bottle and poured some on his hand. He knelt down and rubbed it on her knee. This time, it was not painful compared to last night. She only felt a little sore.

“How come you’re here to conduct a lecture? Aren’t you busy at work?” Xia Weilan asked as she twitched her lips and stared at his focused expression.

“The company had dedicated people to handle different tasks. There aren’t a lot of things that require me to attend to it personally. I’ve got subordinates to follow up.”

Mo Beichen rubbed for a while. He stared at the faint patch on her knee that was almost as good as perfect before stopping.

“Alright.” Xia Weilan stood up from the chair. 

“Let’s go for lunch.” Mo Beichen recalled something and called Rui Li, “Let’s meet at the front gate in five minutes.”

“Okay,” Rui Li immediately replied.

A lot of people lingered around the infirmary. Their eyes were wide open when they saw Mo Beichen kneeling in front of Xia Weian as if they had discovered a new world.

“They must be in a relationship!”

“God! My male God had been courted.”

Just as the students outside were still in shock, Mo Beichen held Xia Weilan’s hand as they walked out. When she noticed the students staring at them, Xia Weilan lowered her head shyly, following behind Mo Beichen like a little wife.

At the school gate.

Rui Li was leaning on the Maybach. When she saw them walking out, she couldn’t help but blew a whistle. The three of them got in the car and headed to a nearby restaurant.

“I say, Mo-ge, why are you attracting so much attention this time? Are you not worried that your little wife will be crowded out by the female students of the entire school out of jealousy?”

“I’m not worried, because we got you.” Mo Beichen said without emotion. But his words had definitely given Rui Li a recognition.

Rui Li lifted the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that she was very satisfied.

“Of course. With me- Rui Li around, no one would dare to bully my sister in law.”

After the three of them had lunch, Mo Beichen went back to the office.

Mo Corp President’s Office. 

The moment Mo Beichen went inside the room, secretary Xu Wei immediately caught up behind him.

“President Mo, there’s some problem with the company’s account. When I was checking the account this morning, I noticed something strange about one of the entries. After investigating, I found that someone had pulled some tricks. A total of ten million dollars was transferred secretly.”

“Ten million?” Mo Beichen raised his eyebrows. Someone dared to carry out such activities in his office? This person simply doesn’t want to live anymore.

Xu Wei was a little terrified. 

“President Mo, these are all the relevant documents. Ling Jiancheng had secretly pulled some tricks a few days ago. After investigating, I found out that he owed a huge amount of gambling debts. Thus he took such a leap.”

“Call him in.” Mo Beichen squinted.

After a while, Ling Jiancheng was being escorted to Mo Beichen’s office.

“President Mo, are you looking for me?” Ling Jiancheng appeared calm, steady and undefeated.

“Take a look for yourself.” Mo Beichen threw the documents in his hand to him. He placed his hand in a pyramid as he stared at him with his curled lips.

“This…this…” Ling Jiancheng briefly flipped through and took a few glances. He already had a feeling that the sky was about to collapse. He quickly lifted his head, wanting to explain something.

“Manager Ling, you owned a company before. If something like this happened, how would you deal with it?” Mo Beichen asked. His low deep voice was as if he was harboring something, vividly penetrating with a dangerous vanguard.

“President Mo, regardless of what, we’re considered relatives by marriage. President Mo, there’s still Ling Yan. No matter how he is still Xia Weilan’s half-brother. Ling Yan is still in high school only. President Mo, please don’t be too harsh on me.”

Mo Beichen went silent for a while and said, “From now on, you are fired. As for the money you’ve stolen, you have to return them within one week. Otherwise, you will take responsibility for the consequences. Get out.”

“Thanks, President Mo for your kindness.” Ling Jianchen quickly lowered his head and bowed. He withdrew himself respectfully.

Ling Jiancheng walked out from the office clenching his fist. He was escorted out from Mo Corp by Xu Wei. From now on, Mo Corp was no longer a place he could go in and out freely.

When he reached home, Wei Hongmei was explaining something to the nanny in the kitchen. When she saw Ling Jiancheng home, she quickly went forward to greet him. “Master, you’re home early today.”

Ling Jiancheng sat on the sofa in exhaustion and suddenly said, “Start packing. We’re moving.”

“Master, where are we moving to? Did you buy another house?” Wei Hongmei asked delightfully.

Ling Jiancheng swept his eyes on Wei Hongmei and suddenly went to the kitchen and called the nanny over, “Come with me to the study. I’ll calculate your salary. We won’t be needing you anymore.”

The nanny looked at him in disbelief, “Master, had I done anything wrong?”

“No, you didn’t do anything wrong. The Ling Family has gone bankrupt. We can’t afford to keep you around. We are selling this house too.”

Ling Jiancheng’s words were actually meant for Wei Hongmei. As soon as he finished speaking, he went upstairs with a long face. Previously, because of the ten million dollars, he had already tried his best. But his close friend from the past refused to meet him now and they simply will not offer him any help.

And because of that, he took the risk to steal Mo Beichen’s money. The moment he did that, he had already prepared for the worst.
