Since their conversation, Xia Mo indeed disappeared in Xia Weiwei’s life, so did Luo Che jue. And Xia Weiwei had also recovered gradually in peace.
There was only a nanny in the house to take care of her, who, in fact, was actually watching her. It was obvious that Luo Chejue wanted to keep her in confinement.
Or maybe he was worried that she might go find fault with Xia Mo or spend time with Yan Shaoxuan. Xia Weiwei thought.
It was not until when Yan Shaoxuan called her that she came to her sensens.
“Weiwei, how are you? I hope Luo Chejue isn’t giving you a hard time.”
Looking at the familiar concern on Yan Shaoxuan’s face, Xia Weiwei responded with a heart-felt smile that had been missing from her for a long time.
“I’m fine.”
She didn’t mention a word about Luo Chejue. This was her favorite café. When she was in the hospital, she had taken advantage of the moments when she was holding Yan Shaoxuan to arrange the appointment for this meeting.
She didn’t plan to hide it, and she was also fully aware that when the driver saw Yan Shaoxuan, he would definitely report to Luo Chejue.
“Weiwei, I brought what you asked for.”
Yan Shaoxuan looked carefully and confirmed that Xia Weiwei indeed looked good before he took out a file packet.
Xia Weiwei was a little nervous and stopped stirring her coffee.
“This is what my mother left me?”
“Yes, if it wasn’t because two years ago…” Yan Shaoxuan paused: “this should have been handed over to you a long time ago. This is aunt Yan’s will, entrusted to me and now handed over to you.”
As he was saying, he passed her the document.
Xia Weiwei knew what Yan Shaoxuan had left unsaid. Two years ago, shortly after her mother had died of illness, aunt Lan asked her out for shopping out of concern, during which, Yan Shaoxuan called to say that something from her mother was to be handed over to her. Anxious to see her mother’s relics, she hurriedly said goodbye to aunt Lan and left, and never expected that aunt Lan would fall down the stairwell unexpectedly and lost her life, the exact stairwell where she had left!
Postmortem examination didn’t show any trace of struggle on aunt Lan, and only the footprints of Xia Weiwei were found in the stairwell. The police judged that if it wasn’t an accident, then it must have been done by someone who she’d known. In addition, the next day, a picture of her and Yan Shaoxuan in suspicious intimacy appeared on the front page. It seemed that the truth was clear.
And that was the start of her misery.
Now she didn’t want to bother about the truth again. Xia Weiwei opened the document and, after reading a few lines, her pupils suddenly dilated.
“Mother has left 60% of the shares of the Lan’s Group to me?!”
How could it be? She had always thought that the Bai’s Group had completely become Xia’s enterprise, and the biggest shareholder and director should now be Xia Zhengyan, her father!
Bai Yan was the only daughter of the Bai family, so the Bai’s Group was her natural dowry. Although Xia Zhengyan was actually married into and lived with the wife’s family, he had promoted the development of the company. Being one family, even if they had changed the company to a Xia’s enterprise, no one would have complained about anything.
But Xia Weiwei couldn’t understand. In this will, her father only held 20% of the shares. Her parents had always had a good relationship and she had also grown up in their love and indulgence. Why had her mother made such an arrangement?
“Weiwei, the will clearly states that these shares are to be handled in accordance with your own will under any circumstances, but they will only come into effect when you do not have any subsistence. If your life is free of any problems and accidents, these shares will become your dowry, and when you have a child, the shares will be integrated into the Luo’s Group and become the joint property of you and your husband. You and your child will also have the rights and interests of shareholders.”
Yan Shaoxuan finished reading and couldn’t help sighing, “aunt Yan really loved you. She had thought of everything for you.”
Yes, mother had really loved her, but she couldn’t have expected what she was seeing now. Xia Weiwei smiled sadly. If she’d got the will two years ago, maybe everything would have been different.
“Weiwei, what are you going to do next?”
Yan Shaoxuan actually wanted her to leave Luo Chejue. Now with this will, Xia Weiwei could live a free life with the shares as long as she gave up on Luo’s alimony. In that case, he would also have a chance.
Xiaweiwei was silent. It was not like she had not thought about it, but at the moment she had something else on her mind.
“I’m not planning to divorce him.”
“Weiwei, you…”
Yan Shaoxuan was vexed and worried that Xia Weiwei still had hope for Luo Chejue. He wanted to say something else but was interrupted by her calmly.
“Shaoxuan, please don’t worry. I won’t make the same mistakes again. I have my own plan.”
“Please let me help!”
“No, I want to put an end to it by myself. Shaoxuan, please continue helping me keep this will.”
Yan Shaoxuan hesitated for a moment before he finally nodded and said yes, but in the end, he covered his hand on Xia Weiwei’s, his gaze gentle and attentive: “Weiwei, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side.”
Xiaweiwei was surprised but then smiled: “thank you, Shaoxuan.”
The scene of tenderness was captured in photographs which were sent to Luo Chejue afterwards.
