Xia Weilan received a call from Xue Zhiqing in the car, “Uncle?”

“Weilan, Are you with President Mo now? I just came out from the Police Station to check on Roulin. Let’s settle this matter privately. After all, we’re family. Both of you can come over now. We’ll have dinner together as we discuss it.”

Xue Zhiqing’s voice was sincere.

“I’m not the one making the decision.” Xia Weilan twitched her mouth and said, “My husband said that this matter needs to be resolved according to legal processes. I’ll listen to him.”

Mo Beichen who was beside her curled his lips. He parked the car beside the road and stared happily at Xia Weilan. 

“Roulin really crossed the line this time. You have the right to be mad. But regardless of what, we are still family. We can still have a casual meal together, right?” Xue Zhiqing coaxed her in another method.

Xia Weilan paused for a moment before saying, “Alright, send me the location.”

“Hubby, Xue Zhiqing wanted to treat us for a meal.” Xia Weilan stared at Mo Beichen and said helplessly, “If you don’t feel like attending, I can take care of it on my own.”

Mo Beichen said faintly, “It just happens that I’m hungry too.”

At this moment, Mo Beichen’s phone rang. It was from Xu Wei.

“President Mo, Xue Zhiqing bailed Xia Roulin just now. He used some connections to set Xia Roulin free before the trial.”

“I got it.” Mo Beichen said in a deep voice. 

“President Mo, so what are we going to do?” Xu Wei asked respectfully.

“Think of ways to get her back into the police station and speed up the trial,” said Mo Beichen.

Xue Zhiqing was already waiting at Beijing’s largest seven-star hotel. At the same time, Xia Roulin who just got out of the police station was standing beside him.
Xia Roulin was already dressed in an evening gown and was no longer panicking. At this instant, her makeup was refined. Expensive fabrics draped around her, making her look like a princess. 

Xue Zhiqing got her to come along to apologize to Xia Weilan. 

Although Xia Roulin was unwilling to do so, tonight was not the right time to throw a tantrum. Once she apologized to Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan, she would then use some money to settle the matter with Gu Yuwei and Gu Yunuo and everything will be resolved.

At this instant, both of them saw a black Maybach approaching. As soon as the car stopped, Xue Zhiqing quickly stepped forward and opened the door for Xia Weilan. Xia Weilan almost couldn’t handle his passionate look.

“My niece, you’re here. Watch your steps.” Xue Zhiqing let out a broad smile until the chubby meat on his cheeks were joined into a clump. He really could bow and submit and stand tall. 

“Uncle, you’re too modest.” Xia Weilan could only say politely.

Meanwhile, Mo Beichen got out of the car and walked beside Xia Weilan. He gave a cold stare at Xue Zhiqing and this suddenly caused Xue Zhiqing unable to retain his fake smile.

Xia Weilan glanced at Xia Roulin and pretended to be surprised. “You got released so soon?”

“Ahem~ Let’s go in and have a meal first.” Xue Zhiqing quickly changed the subject.

In the private room, Xia Weilan was holding onto the menu as she swept a glance at Xia Roulin who was acting elegant and had no intention to apologize.

“Roulin, what are waiting for? Go pour some tea for your sister.” Xue Zhiqing cast a stern glance at Xia Roulin, warning her.

Xia Roulin felt awkward. She took a glance at Mo Beichen and didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of him. However, she realized that Mo Beichen wasn’t even looking at her, he was reading the menu with his head hung low.

Xia Roulin stood up and extended her arm to pour Xia Weilan a cup of tea. 

She said in a gentle tone, “Sis, here’s your tea.” 

Xia Weilan swept a glance at Xia Roulin and saw that she wasn’t even looking at her but was staring at Mo Beichen instead.

“Why do you keep staring at my husband?” Xia Weilan asked coldly. 

She suddenly stood up, “Hubby, I can’t stay for this meal. Let’s go.” 

Mo Beichen also stood up cooperatively. “I also feel troubled by eating here. Let’s go home.”

Mo Beichen held Xia Weilan’s hand and was about to walk out.

“Wait, wait.” Xue Zhiqing quickly stood up. “We can talk things out. President Mo, Weilan, just let us know what’s upsetting you. I’ll make sure that you’ll be satisfied.”  

Xue Zhiqing reacted very quickly and blocked their path. He said in a resentful manner to Xia Roulin, “What are you standing there for? Get over here and apologize to your sister.”

Xia Roulin hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to go over. She said softly, “Sorry. I wasn’t good enough.” 

" "

“Was it not good enough? Or was it that you’ve done wrong?” Mo Beichen glanced at Xia Roulin with a cold and sharp stare.

Xia Roulin had never expected that her prince charming would make things difficult for her. Her face went pale and her eyes immediately turned red, “Yes, I did wrong.”

When she said those words, she felt so wronged that she was about to cry. All sorts of complex emotions suddenly came pressing down on her in an instant like extreme anger and grief.

She, a genuine young miss of the Xia family, was being suppressed by Xia Weilan. She snatched the love of her life and suppressed her elegant identity. Now, she had to lower her voice and even Mo Beichen was siding with Xia Weilan.

“Yes, Weilan. Roulin already admitted that she did wrong. Consider doing it for the sake of my face, please stay back for the meal before leaving.” Xue Zhiqing said urgently.

They all returned to their own seat and the waiter delivered the dishes.

Xia Weilan did not take a glance at Xia Roulin and did not bring up the subject of the kidnapping. 

“Miss Xia, here’s a toast to you.” Mo Beichen suddenly glanced toward Xia Roulin as he lifted his glass.

“Yes, Beichen-ge.” Xia Roulin immediately replied and blushed. She lifted her wine glass and emptied it in a gulp. She was no longer sad. It seemed that Mo Beichen still liked her. She must have misunderstood him previously. 

Xia Weilan stared at Mo Beichen in surprise, but she noticed that he was curling his lips. He placed his glass down and didn’t take a sip.

Mo Beichen saw Xia Roulin emptied a glass of wine and her face immediately flushed. He continued to say, “Here’s to you again.”

Xia Roulin looked at him,  puzzled. “Beichen-ge, I can’t take another drink.”

Mo Beichen’s face immediately became grim and showed an unhappy expression.

“Alright, alright. I’ll drink it.” Xia Roulin immediately picked up the wine glass and poured herself a second glass of wine. She emptied the glass with a gulp and she instantly felt her eyes getting blurry and her head went heavy with her feet feeling light.

“This…” Xue Zhiqing felt sorry as he looked at her daughter. 

“One more glass.” Who would have expected that Mo Beichen opened his mouth again emotionlessly? His tone and glance were cold. 

Xia Roulin couldn’t believe her ears. She opened her eyes that were misty to stare at the man in front of him who was towering like a mountain. She thought she had misheard him and asked subconsciously, “Another glass?”

“President Mo, let…let me drink on behalf of my daughter.” Xue Zhiqing lifted the wine in front of him and emptied it in one sip. His alcohol tolerance was better than Xia Roulin. His expression didn’t change after taking a glass of wine.
