CEO Husband Please Be Refrained

Old Master Xia said with disapproval, “It’s a waste of talent for you to be a normal designer with your capability. Moreover, the jewelry that you designed was selling so well at Mo Corps. With your reputation, it’s right and proper for you to assume the position of the deputy director of the designing department.”

“Grandpa, I’m just a temporary intern student. This is a critical post, it’ll be very troublesome to rehire someone when I need to return to school. Moreover, I’m still new, I still need training.” Xia Weilan said calmly because she knew exactly what she wanted.

“My child, you are indeed sensible!” Old Master Xia’s eyes brightened up when he heard Xia Weilan. Compared to Xia Roulin who was greedy for power, he was even more certain that he could be rest assured of passing Xia Corps to Xia Weilan’s hand in the future.

Looking at the joyful scene in front of him, Xue Zhiqing’s eyes glowed with sharpness. 

At first, he thought that Second Master Xia was his biggest opponent. He never expected that in the end, such a young girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, she was a legit hairess of the Xia Family.

Xue Zhiqing could strongly sense the crisis.

“Weilan, once you’ve joined the company, If there’s anything that you are unsure of, you can always look for me for guidance.” Xue Zhiqing gently coughed as he put on a kind mask.

“Yes uncle, I will.” Xia Weilan promised.

A few days later, summer break was here.

Xia Weilan was counting the days to summer break for the freshman student. And today, she finally received a call from Ling Zihan. “Sis, I’ll be arriving in Beijing in another two hours. Can you come to pick me?”

Lin Zihan’s familiar and friendly voice was heard over the phone. To Xia Weilan, listening to that hard and direct voice was as if such the teenager was already standing in front of her at this moment.  

“Of course! I’ll be there to pick you up.” Xia Weilan’s eyes reddened.

“Sis, what’s wrong? Did Xuefei bully you again? Don’t worry, wait till I get home. I’ll set things right for you.” Ling Zihan immediately raised his voice as if he was angry.

“I’m fine. It’s just that I’m so happy to see you back.” Xia Weilan’s voice was as soft as a gust of wind.

“Okay sis, wait for me.” Ling Zihan hung up the phone as soon as he finished his words.

Xia Weilan quickly went into the master bedroom and took off the delicate clothes she had on her and slipped into the clothes that she usually wore before. She put down her long hair because Ling Zihan always thought that girls should be keeping long hair as that looked the best.

After she was done changing, Xia Weilan let out a sigh in front of the mirror. She took her bag and drove to the airport.

Ling Zihan used to go to school in the imperial capital. During his freshman year, he was selected as an exchange student to study at M country. It had already been half a year since he left.

Not long later, Ling Zihan who just got off the plane carried his luggage and came out calmly. 

“Zihan!” A delightful voice called his name from not too far away. Ling Zihan’s eyes brightened and ran toward that person.

By the time Xia Weilan reached the airport, she waited for a long time but Ling Zihan was nowhere in sight.

She kept calling Ling Zihan’s number but it showed, “the person had switched off their phone.”

After a while, something crossed Xia Weilan’s mind and she called Wei Hongmei. However, nobody picked up the phone.

Xia Weilan immediately rushed to shantytown. The car drove all the way through the bustling city to a civilian area and beyond that was the shantytown that required walking. 

Xia Weilan walked toward Wei Hongmei’s home address. The door of the two bedroom house was tightly shut. 

Xia Weilan stood at the door and she could hear Wei Hongmei’s unsteady voice. “I’ve told you, your sister doesn’t want us anymore. She got married to a rich family and couldn’t wait to get rid of us. You still wanted to find her? You just refuse to believe what I’ve told you, right?”

“I don’t believe it. You must have made this up. Only Xuefei would do what you’ve told me. You said that sis-Weilan had made Xuefei gone mad. I simply don’t believe it. I need to ask sis-Weilan personally.”

Ling Zihan’s voice was even louder than Wei Hongmei. Heavy footsteps were then heard.

‘Click!’ Ling Zihan opened the door from inside.

“Sis!” Ling Zihan was stunned.

After Ling Zihan snapped out of it, he quickly pulled Xia Weilan and hurriedly walked out. 

“Sis, what are you doing here? Mum has gone mad, she’ll beat you to death.”

Xia Weilan hurriedly followed Ling Zihan’s footsteps. The warmth from Ling Zihan’s hand radiated onto hers. She felt the rim of her eyes turned warm.

Ling  Zihan brought Xia Weilan to a safe corner before he halted his footsteps. He stared at her in confusion. “What exactly happened?” 

He fixed his gaze at her with his lips pressed together tightly with some stubbornness. 

“The Ling family had gone bankrupt.” Xia Weilan said honestly under his stare. 

“I know, but how did it happen? Mum said it’s all because of you. But I don’t believe it, I wanted you to tell me. I’ll only believe what you said!” Ling Zihan’s voice was hoarse.

Xia Weilan drew in a deep breath and slowly explained everything.

“Sis!” After Ling Zihan heard her explanation, he hugged Xia Weilan tightly and said, “It would be so good if I am in Beijing. I certainly won’t let them bully you in such a way.” 

Ling Xuefei didn’t succeed in her poisoning scheme, Ling Jiancheng embezzled the public fund to pay off the money he owed from gambling and even sold Xia Weilan to an entertainment facility…

“I’m okay. But you’re still their child. The Ling family is still your family. Don’t let your emotions affect your decisions.” Xia Weilan calmed his emotions.

“I wanted to bring you home to stay with me at the Mo’s Residence. But if you are unwilling to, I can pay all your school fees and expenses.”

When Ling Zihan heard her, he frowned in disagreement. 

“As a man, I’ve already failed my duty to protect my sister. How can I burden you. I, Ling Zihan, will work to pay off my school fee. Even if the Ling Family had gone bankrupt, I am not afraid at all.”

When Ling Zihan was saying this, he was very serious. 

Xia Weilan knew his temper well. But she was still a bit worried. Afterall, he was only sixteen years old.

“Okay, okay.” Ling Zihan quickly pushed her outside. “You girls get emotional so easily. For such a small thing, you made it seem as if the sky was about to come crashing down. I wanted to be someone who can protect you in the future. If such trivial matters already baffled me, then what am I good for?”

Who would have thought that in the end, Ling Zihan was the one who comforted Xia Weilan?

Xia Weilan was stunned. But she could only agree with Ling Zihan. However, she had requested him to contact her whenever he needed something.

Ling Zihan repeatedly agreed to her requests and managed to send off Xia Weilan. He then walked toward the direction of his home.

“Where’s your sister?” Wei Hongmei said in an unfriendly tone while staring at the alley. She unexpectedly felt a little disappointed when she didn’t see Xia Weilan.

“This heartless girl. She really doesn’t want to recognize me as her mother anymore.” Wei Hongmei said angrily.

Ling Zihan slammed the door hard, “If my mum sold me away, I also won’t admit that you are my mother!”

Although Ling Zihan was in a bad mood, he still took some nice food from his luggage bag, “Although this house doesn’t look like home, I’m back. And you didn’t even think about how to celebrate my return. It seems that I’ll have to cook tonight.”

Ling Zihan took the ingredients that he brought into the kitchen. 

Wei Hongmei was stunned as she followed him into the kitchen. “Son, when did you learn how to cook?”

“Not only did I know how to cook, I also learned a lot of other things.” Ling Zihan said rather maturely.
