The next day.

LIng Jiancheng called Xia Weilan, begging her to give him more time.

“You can cut ties with me, but Ling Yan still sees you as his sister.” Ling Jiancheng said this with a thick skin.

Xia Weilan agreed to his request.

A week later. Ling Jiancheng sold off his villa and moved to Shantytown with Wei Hongmei. In Shantytown, a few of Wei Hongmei’s previous neighbors still remembered her. 

When they saw Wei Hongmei moving in with a man, they couldn’t help but asked, “Hongmei, how come we don’t see Weilan? It’s been sixteen years since we last met. Weilan should be in university now, right?”

“That’s right, The little girl is such a thoughtful girl, we all are very fond of her. Back then when you were selling on the street, she always squats beside you, pounding on your back lightly.”

Wei Hongmei blushed a little after hearing those comments. She quickly made those people leave and closed the door with a ‘bang’.

There was only a fan in the room, there’s not even an air-conditioner. 

Wei Hongmei couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t I sell off those jewelries so that we can change to a better house?”

“Sell them off and send the money to Ling Yan. I haven’t passed him this month’s meal expenses yet.” Ling Jiancheng said with a stiff expression.

“Right, right. We can’t let Ling Yan feel wronged at school.” Wei Hongmei really loves Ling Yan dearly.

In Wei Hongmei’s eyes, only her youngest son was the jewel in her heart. He is to take care of her in old age and be filial to her.

“Don’t tell him about what happened at home. Let him focus on his studies.” Ling Jiancheng added.

“Yes, we shouldn’t let him know.” Wei Hongmei agreed.

Ling Jiancheng suddenly stood up and wanted to head outside.

“Master, where are you going?”

“I’ll take a walk around to see if there’s any business that I can do around here.”

“But we don’t have any capital. I am familiar with this place. The only business that could be run in this place is street stalls selling inexpensive stuff.”

Wei Hongmei was confident when she said this as she was used to mingling in this area previously.

“Then I’ll go ask around about the situation of the area nearby.” Ling Jiancheng left as soon as he finished his words.

At this moment, Wei Hong Mei also had her backbone. Although she had left for sixteen years, she had a good relationship with the elderly woman here. With this, she also hurriedly went out to gather information. 

At the same time.

At A University.

The news of Mo Beichen conducting a public lecture for the second time was the hottest discussion among the students. This time, Xia Weilan was invited to sit on the VIP seat located in the first row. This had made the others envious.

“…understand?” When Mo Beichen asked this question, he was looking at Xia Weilan.

Even when he raised a question, he directed it to Xia Weilan. All the female students can’t stop sighing and acclaimed that they were fully fed from all the dog food.

A lesson ended.

Mo Beichen walked together with Xia Weilan and he talked to her about some of the things in the business world to deepen her understanding. 

“Actually, there’s no need for you to deliberately accompany me since you are so busy. Having Rui Li around is sufficient.” Xia Weilan couldn’t help but say.

 “Rui Li had to attend to something else today. I’ll be accompanying you the whole day today. I’ll bring you to a banquet tonight.” Mo Beichen brought Xia Weilan to sit on a stone bench.

The students who passed by couldn’t help but steal a glance at them.

“I think you better go back to the office. You can come to pick me up in the afternoon.” Xia Weilan extended her hands to gently push him.

If Mo Beichen really followed her to attend a class together, isn’t she going to top the hot search chart?

“Okay, I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.” Mo Beichen took a glance at his watch and stood up.

A body height of 188cm, he instantly brought along a gush of wind with his action. He looked handsome and capable indeed.

At the end of the school day, it was Xue Wei who came to fetch her in the afternoon.

“The president had to attain some last-minute urgent matter. He asked me to come to fetch you home and he will be going back straight to the villa.” Xu Wei said with respect.

When Xia Weilan was back at the villa, Mo Beichen was not home yet. When Aunt Tian saw Xia Weilan, she took out the evening dress that was already prepared.

“Young Madam, this was prepared by the young master for you to change once you are home.” 

Xia Weilan obediently went into the master bedroom and headed straight to the bathroom.

A while later, Xia Weilan was in a light purple mermaid dress with a long skirt that reached her knees. She walked down the stairs elegantly. 

At this moment, Mo Bechen who was already in the living room lifted his head and expressed a look of approval. Mo Beichen was already in a black elegant suit. 

He gently lifted his hand and took a glance at his watch and said to Xia Weilan, “Let’s go for dinner before going to the banquet.”

In a luxury restaurant of the Imperial Capital, Mo Beichen held onto Xia Weilan’s hand as they appeared. A couple was already inside the private room when they arrived.

“President Mo, Miss Xia.” President Feng immediately stood up politely when he saw them coming in. The smile on his face was easygoing. 

After all, Mo Beichen was the biggest business partner of President Feng. Although President Feng was more senior, he really respected Mo Beichen.  

“Have a seat President Feng.” Mo Beichen sat across them.

The waiter passed the menu to Mo Beichen and the Feng’s couple seated across him also began to place their orders.

“What would you like to eat?” Mo Beichen asked Xia Weilan.

“I wanted to have something light. My stomach is not feeling well lately.” Xia Weilan said tactfully as she was embarrassed to say that she is having her menses today.

“Alright.” The dishes that Mo Beichen ordered were all warm and even the drink was warm too.  

“President Mo, both of you are?” President Feng had seen a lot of the world, he immediately noticed something unusual between the two of them.

“She is my woman.” Mo Beichen smiled as he said.

“Haha. President Mo and Miss Xia are indeed match made in heaven.” President Feng immediately saw Xia Weilan as a person of high importance.

He knew that Mo Beichen had always been a well-reserved man. This is the first time that he officially introduced his own girlfriend.

“Miss Xia, the Feng Family had always been in a business relationship with the Mo and Xia Families. When you are free in the future, you can come to visit the Feng Family often so that I also have another person that I can talk to.” Mrs Feng said kindly.

After they finished their meal, everyone went to the ballroom.

Mo Beichen appeared together with Xia Weilan and introduced her to a few business partners before he was being called away by someone.

As soon as Mo Beichen left, Mrs Feng immediately said to Xia Weilan, “Come Weilan, let me introduce a few friends of mine to you.”

Mrs Feng led Xia Weilan toward a group of elegant rich ladies dressed in luxury clothing.

She introduced, “This is the young miss of the Xia Family, Xia Weilan. She is a close friend of mine.”

The few rich ladies already saw Xia Weiland and Mo Beichen walking in hand-in-hand earlier on. Now, with the flattering of the top rich lady of Beijing, Mrs Feng, everyone immediately wanted to get close to Xia Weilan.

Mrs Chin said, “I’ve attended Miss Xia’s banquet before. At that time, I felt that Miss Xia is an easy-going person and looked like someone that’s comfortable to hang out with. Come, let’s have a toast.”

Mrs Chin raised her red wine and Xia Weilan felt embarrassed to reject it.

When she was about to pick up a glass of wine, Mrs Feng held onto her hand, “Weilan can’t drink today. Come, let me fetch you a glass of hot drink to warm up your tummy.”
The few rich ladies instantly understood the situation and giggled, “I didn’t expect that Mrs Feng would care for the little girl to such an extent. Hehe, I’m getting envious.”
