That evening, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen paid a visit to Old Master Xia at the hospital.

In the ward, a girl with delicate makeup was getting busy in the ward but not forgetting to check on the well-being of Old Master Xia.

“Grandpa, have more of these. These cherries are really sweet. These are the ones I really liked to eat. And here’s some imported durians too. I’ve ordered them from overseas just for you.” Xia Roulin was acting sweet yet unruly and not forgetting to act sweet at the same time. This caused Old Master Xia’s head to throb painfully.

“Just put it there.” Old Master Xia rubbed his temples.

“Grandpa, let me help you.” Xia Roulin quickly reached out her hand and placed them on Old Master Xia’s temples, pressing them with an appropriate force while saying, “Grandpa, since the misunderstanding between me and sis Weilan was cleared, would you allow me to do the internship at the office during the summer break?”
Xia Roulin had been trained to be an outstanding successor since young. Although her studies were average, cumulatively, she had more foresight compared to other heiresses. But what she really lacked was just real experience.

She certainly had to build some experiences at Xia Corps. She also went to the office for internship during her last break.

Seeing that Old Master Xia remained silent, Xue Zhiqing immediately said, “Dad, see how filial Roulin is. She had been thinking about the company these few days and how to help you share the burdens. Otherwise, why would she be so hardworking? When she heard that the company’s deputy director of the designing department had left, she was worried that the company would be left with insufficient workforce and intended to help out.”

Xia Roulin curled her lips to form a smile. A gleam of light flashed across her eyes. It wasn’t too bad if she could immediately become the deputy director of Xia Corps. Xia Roulin pretended to gaze at Old Master Xia calmly. But in fact, she was excited. Her eyes were glowing brightly. 

How could Old Master Xia not notice it?

Old Master Xia frowned. Xia Roulin was aiming too high for wanting to be the deputy designing director. It was simply horsing around.

However, Old Master Xia suddenly thought of Xia Weilan and he had an idea. With Xia Weilan’s appellation for winning first place in the Mo Corps designing competition, she definitely deserved to be the deputy designing director.

“I already had a candidate for this.” Old Master Xia said imposingly. He conveniently kept Xia Roulin’s hand away from his temples. They were not that painful in the first place. But after she pressed on them, they suddenly throbbed even more fiercely.

A disappointed look appeared across Xia Roulin’s face in a flash and she quickly acted generously. 

“Grandpa is right. In that case, what sort of role in Xia Corps does Grandpa have in mind for me?” 

Xia Roulin thought that even if it wasn’t the deputy director’s position, she would surely qualify for being the team lead for the marketing department. Besides, the propaganda department was lacking manpower too.

Xue Zhiqing had already informed her beforehand. Although Xue Zhiqing was now holding a leisure post, his power was not weak. Everyone was giving face to him.

‘Knock~knock’ the sound of door knocks interrupted Xia Roulin’s thoughts. She subconsciously lifted her head and took a quick glance. But she didn’t expect that after that glance, she was unable to shift her sight.

It was Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan at the door. Mo Beichen knocked on the opened door before entering.

“Grandpa, we came to visit you.” Xia Weilan took a glance at Xia Roulin without saying anything.

Xia Roulin saw Mo Brichen walking slowly toward her direction. She subconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt and her breathing became disordered. The back of her ears turned red as she felt anxious and envious.

Until today, whenever she recalled how Mo Beichen forced her to drink, she was still a little scared. However, she couldn’t refrain herself from looking at him.

“Beichen-ge, I heard that Mo Corp had signed a big deal lately. Congratulations.” Xia Roulin fawned on him.

The entire Beijing was discussing how Mo Beichen was rapidly signing deals with a lot of famous overseas brands, bringing them into Mo Corps malls. Furthermore, they were all local exclusive.

Mo Beichen frowned and suddenly took a few steps back. “The perfume that Miss Xia used today was too pungent. Could it be that the scent from the prison has not disappeared yet?”

Xia Roulin was taken aback by Mo Beichen’s unconcealed action of avoiding her. She sniffed the scent on her body and said innocently, “Beichen-ge, I didn’t.”

Xia Roulin said and took a few steps toward Mo Beichen as she desperately wanted to explain herself.

Mo Beichen frowned and quickly dodged next to Xia Weilan.

The scene that happened abruptly in the ward had made Xue Zhiqing stupefied. He quickly dragged his unrestrained daughter away and scolded, “Look at you. What has gotten into you today? Where are your manners? Go wait outside!”

Xia Roulin’s action just now was as good as pouncing onto Mo Beichen. Xia Roulin stomped her feet as if she had suffered a huge grief before dashing outside. She slammed the door hard as she left the ward.

“This kid…” Old Master Xia shook his head helplessly. Xia Roulin had been acting gentle and elegant, but deep down, she was a totally spoiled princess.

Fortunately, he still had a real granddaughter, Xia Weilan who was mature and sensible. Old Master Xia was very satisfied with her.

“Weilan, come sit over here.” Old Master Xia was gazing at Xia Weilan with his usual kind, smiling face.

Xue Zhiqing’s face sunk a little but he very quickly let out a fake smile, pretending to gaze at Xia Weilan in kindness.

Xia Weilan walked beside the bed and sat down. Her body emitted some natural body fragrance which was faint but very pleasant. Old Master Xia immediately felt soothing.

Mo Beichen suddenly asked, “Grandpa, when we just arrived, we heard that you were discussing the shortage of manpower in the office. I’ve heard that the branch outside the province was really short of hands. Since Miss Roulin is willing to share the burden, I felt that it’s a good idea to let her train at the branch.”

The main objective of Mo Beichen’s visit today was to dispatch Xia Roulin far away.

“Dad, this branch office was too far.” Xue Zhiqing immediately disapproved, “How could I bear to let her do her internship so far away?”

 “Is it that far? I think it’s still okay. You are the one who had been spoiling Roulin. This is a good opportunity to let her go out and train independently.” Old Master Xia said unhappily with a deep voice.

Xue Zhiqing didn’t expect that Old Master Xia would be so cruel to let Xia Roulin go so far away without batting an eyelid. His heart immediately turned cold. When he stared at Xia Weilan again, he sensed hatred forming inside his heart.

“You’re right Dad. It’s a good opportunity for Roulin to train herself.” Xue Zhiqing said calmly as if he no longer had any objection.

Old Master Xia started to cool down and turned around to gaze at Xia Weilan, “My child, you’ll be doing your internship at the office during your summer break. I think the designing department is suitable for you.” 

“Grandpa, I’ve decided to apply for the position of the company’s designer.” Xia Weilan expressed her thoughts.
