“My hubby taught me all this.” Xia Weilan didn’t hide the fact that Mo Beichen brought her along for his business talk. 

“I see. You should learn more from Beichen in the future. I’m relieved to learn that he’s willing to teach you.” Old Master Xia touched his non-existing beards on his glowing face.

There were only a handful of jewelry companies in the country that could work together with Mr Hui Te. By signing the contract with him, this would raise Xia Corp’s reputation to another level.

Old Master Xia hesitated for a while. He took out a document from the drawer and passed it to Xia Weilan. 

“My child, this is for you.”

Xia Weilan opened it and realized it was the transfer agreement for the Xia Family’s old mansion. Xia Weilan lifted her head to gaze at Old Master Xia.

“Grandpa, this is?”

Old Master Xia gazed at her kindly and said, “Actually, since the first day that I brought you home, I’ve already prepared this. You are the only young miss of the Xia Family. sooner or later, these things need to be passed down to you.”

Xia Weilan felt her heart went soft. But she didn’t decline but picked up the pen swiftly and filled in her signatory.

By the time Xia Weilan opened the door and walked out, the person who had been eavesdropping had already left.

A figure scuttled into Xue Zhiqing’s office. It was his assistant.
“President Xue, Charman Xia had transferred the ownership of the Xia Family’s old mansion to Xia Weilan just now.”

“What!” Xue Zhiqing immediately stood up angrily after hearing his assistant’s words. He slammed the desk and said unwillingly, “You may leave now.”

After the assistant left, Xue Zhiqing called Xia Roulin, “Daughter, you better come back quickly…”

“Dad, I also wanted to come home. But if I come back just like that, Grandpa would be unhappy.” Xia Roulin said worriedly.

“I’ll figure out how to transfer you back. If you still don’t come back, the company might be changing hands soon.” Xue Zhiqing said with extreme headache.

“What happened?” Xia Roulin anxiously raised her voice.

“Just now, Old Master had secretly transferred the ownership of Xia Family’s old mansion to Xia Weilan.”
“What! Why her? All this while, I’m the one who was born and raised in the Xia Family. Xia Weilan was someone who just came back a few months ago. For what reason that the old mansion was transferred to her?”

Xia Roulin could no longer remain calm. She said, “Dad, figure out a way to transfer me back quickly. Otherwise, just say that I’m not acclimatized to the new environment. In short, I don’t even want to stay here for another minute!”

“Okay. try to get yourself a fake medical record over there. I’ll then transfer you back for treatment.” Xue Zhiqing said decisively.

When Xia Weilan returned to the design department, that afternoon was the final day for the design draft selection. 

At first, the few designers were very confident in their works. However, after learning that Xia Corp already had a supplier for emerald, they already understood that the selected design would be no other than Xia Weilan’s design.

As expected, during the afternoon meeting, the director of the design department announced that Xia Weilan’s emerald design was selected.

After coming across these joyous events in a row, Xia Weilan quickly called Mo Beichen.

The moment she heard the call being connected, Xia Weilan’s heart was beating wildly. She wanted to tell him that she had helped the company to sign an agreement and also her design was selected…

“Duuduu…The number that you have dialed is busy right now. Please try again later, duuduu.”

The mechanical voice was heard from the other end of the line.

Xia Weilan put away her phone and figured out that perhaps Mo Beichen was in a meeting. Thus, she didn’t mind about it.

In the evening, after work. Xia Weilan’s phone rang when she stepped out of Xia Corp’s office. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly took out her phone to check who’s calling. Surely enough, it was Mo Beichen.

“Hubby…” As soon as the call got connected, Xia Weilan’s sweet voice was heard. 

Mo Beichen, who just walked into his office paused when he heard her voice. He stood on the spot and asked in a deep voice, “You called me just now?”
Xia Weilan stood at the main entrance of Xia Corp office building and she walked to a corner while saying, “There’s a few happy things that I wanted to share with you.”

“What are they about?”

“Are you getting off work now? I’ll be waiting for you at Tian Ji Square.” Xia Weilan kept him guessing. 

“…” Mo Beichen kept quiet for a few seconds and he was a little impatient. “Tell me now.”

“Hubby, I’ll wait for you at Tian Ji Square. See you there!” Xia Weilan hurriedly finished her words and hung up the phone.

Mo Beichen heard the ‘duuduu’ sound coming from the phone. He tightened his grip around his phone and wanted to call her back. He hesitated for a while and threw his phone on the table.

He was still in the middle of furry. How dare Xia Weilan order him in such a way?

Xu Wei knocked before entering. He could clearly sense that the atmosphere of the office was depressing. He quickly straightened his back and lightened his footsteps. He asked cautiously, “President, there is a cocktail party at the hotel nearby Tian Ji Square. President Liu asked someone to send the invitation card over. Are you attending?”

“Tian Ji Square?” Mo Beichen mumbled coldly when he heard the venue.

“Yes.” Xu Wei sensed President Mo’s conflict toward Tian Ji Square. He couldn’t help but ask, “If President Mo doesn’t feel like going, I’ll call them to decline the invitation.”

“No need.” said Mo Beichen.

Seven o’clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark. Mo Beichen arrived at the hotel and took a sip of wine absent-mindedly. He didn’t take another sip after that.

“President Mo, is something bothering you?” asked President Liu who was beside him.

Mo Beichen squinted his black eyes and took another glance at the watch. It’s already seven o’clock. Xia Weilan should have gone home after seeing that he didn’t show up.

Mo Beichen said coldly, “The junior in the house was not sensible. So I’ve taught them a lesson.”

“I see. “ President Liu said emotionally, “My nephews also made me worry all the time. Sometimes when I scolded him, he would raise his temper. It was really annoying.”

Mo Beichen lifted his head when he heard his words. The gloominess in his eyes slightly shifted, “The junior back at home didn’t dare to go against my words. It’s only that she didn’t act seriously. I need to teach her some serious lessons so that she won’t do something wrong in the future.”

President Liu nodded in agreement. “Yes. After all, it’s all meant for his own good. Just take the last incident…”

After that, President Liu fully unleashed his chatterbox nature and kept talking about the absurd things that his nephew did.

Mo Beichen couldn’t pay attention to the conversation at all. He checked his watch a few times and stood up suddenly.  “I’ll excuse myself as I have something to attend to.”

Mo Beichen walked to the hotel entrance and suddenly halted his footsteps. He made a call back to Fairview Imperial Court. “Is young madam home already?”

“Young madam? She hadn’t been home since morning. I thought she was having dinner with you, young master.” Aunt Tian told him about Xia Weilan informing her not to prepare dinner tonight.

“Alright, I know where she is.” Mo Beichen ended the call after he finished his work. He frowned as he strode along with his long legs toward Tian Ji Square. 

After crossing the road, he saw a thin figure standing in the middle of Tian Ji Square, turning her head slightly to look at the side and then standing tiptoe to look even further.  

It was Xia Weilan who was standing there with her hands and legs icy cold.
