17 She Is Pretty Wild (Edited)

Xiao Ran looked up, left, right, down and last under the table, but she found nothing. With a little hesitation, she muttered: "Must be just my imagination."

"No, it's not," Grandpa Xiao said as a matter of fact tone.

Being creeped out by reality, Xiao Ran hopped up from her chair: "That's not funny Grandpa."

"Why did you help her?" Grandpa Xiao grabbed the telephone and turned the speaker on.

From the other side, they heard a rough voice say: "3% of Fu shares."

Grandpa Xiao looked at Xiao Ran and she shook her head: 'I don't know about any shares.'

Grandpa gave up arguing, as it was a waste of energy. He inquired: "When will be you back?"

"Later," the guest cuts the line right after saying his piece.

"That brat," Grandpa Xiao was shaking so hard in anger that he almost snapped the receiver in his hand. His already wrinkled forehead became even more wrinkled with tension.

"Grandpa, supper is ready. Shall we go?" Xiao Ran's heart quieted down as the devil didn't complain about her, however, was her happiness short-lived?

Grandpa Xiao walked out of the room, but not before he ordered with a wave of anger in his old cold voice: "I want you back at the base early in the morning."

Xiao Ran stood there like a statue with wide eyes, 'Did I dig my own grave?!'

Seeing Xiao Ran's state, Advisor Yu gave her condolences in her heart. 'Fighting!! Princess Xiao.'

----Inside Xiao Ran's heart---

The crying little chibi Ran in her sailor woman costume: 'I think I just shot myself in the foot!!! Wahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!'

---The Wei Family --

'Slap... slap…' The sound of a whip could be heard at the entrance of the Wei Family manor.

"Master please stop!! She is our child," Kuai Hua cried miserably as she tried her best to shield Wei Wan behind her and take all of the blows upon herself.

"I told you again and again, didn't I? Do not disappoint me. But what did you do?? You constantly do nothing BUT disappoint me! And now you have made my entire Wei family lose face," Wei Xing screamed at the top of his lungs and ripped the flesh of both the mother and daughter with his belt.

Wei Xing was in his mid 40's and you could easily see the wrinkles boring deeply into his skin. He was considered extremely handsome during his teenage years and had many affairs, some were known and some were deeply hidden in the dark. But truth be told, he was a bloodsucking monster in human form, his expression was full of frustration as violence ingrained itself in his heart.

Wei Xing had never been humiliated like this in his entire life. When he had found out that they couldn't trace Yue Yeager, his psyche became insecure and prevented him from thinking sanely. 

With no other choice, they made a fake call claiming that he was injured. However, they were found out by the Xiao family and were raked over the coals for their stunt. His face turned black when he remembered the warning call he got from the Xiao family. 'Play that stunt once more time and the Wei family won't see the following dawn.'

Due to the fallout, he lost a new project that he was bidding for and his investors pulled back from a few others. In addition to all that, he received a notice from WAX stating that Wei Wan and a few other students lost 49% of their internal marks. At that point, Wei Xing lost all ethics being a dad. Unable to acknowledge his disappointment, he took out all of his frustrations and disappointment on his daughter. As soon as she arrived home from school he began to whip Wei Wan until she was steps away from death.

Wei Lan, the Matriarch of the Wei family, sat on her big comfy chair and sipped her soup delightfully. As a mother, she was very much aware of her child's fierceness and fully supported him in everything he did. However, they need Wei Wan to manage the Yue girl, so they couldn't take her discipline too far.

"Don't kill her yet, we still need her for now," a hoarse voice sounded out with a trace of impatience that was not easy to detect.

Wei Xing ceased his movement, and looked up towards his mother with a frown: "But....!"

The Matriarch slowly got up from her chair with the help of her personal attendant and walked towards Wei Xing. With a haughty expression on her lips, she whispered inaudibly, "If you beat her anymore, she will die. If that happens, then you can forget about the Li family's inheritance."

Wei Lan was obviously around seventy years old, but she still managed to maintain a dignified appearance. Not only that, she still had a strong, imposing air around her. Although she seemed to be all about the Wei family's reputation and status, deep down she was still a person with a vile consciousness that came from being on the streets. No matter her currents power and status, wickedness was borne in her blood and bone.

Wei Xing's eyes broadened, remembering Li Rong's captivation over Wei Wan's beauty. He let go of his belt and called for the housekeeper to serve them.

In order to cover up his behavior, he softly spoke with a concerned voice: "Wei Wan, daddy didn't intend to hurt you. I had discovered that Yue Wan was able to completely finish the exam and if she was chosen, you might be discarded by Li Rong. Daddy was solely concerned about your well-being."

Following his voice, The Matriarch interjected with a soft voice, "WanWan, don't be mad at your father, he only had your best interests at heart. Go back to your room, I will call the doctor over shortly."

Wei Wan's brows tightened and she clenched her fist in anger. With pain throbbing all over her body, which was filled with bruised marks and slap marks on her face, she stood up with a slight respectful smile on her face. She looked at The Matriarch as if she was not experiencing bone shattering pain and replied: "I know Grandma."

They never regarded her as a member of the Wei family, she simply a pawn to be used as they please. Wei Wan sneered in her heart. Once she demolishes that bitch and becomes Mrs. Li she will deal with them all. Sooner or later she will make them beg before this house.

A maid took Wei Wan to her room, but before Kuai Hua could move, The Matriarch said with her demanding voice, "As a mistress did you forget the ethic of my Wei family?"

Kuai Hua was the real birth mother of Wei Wan, but she didn't have the authority to be with her child alone. Kuai Hua knew her position, so she left the Wei compound with thoughts of not being with her little girl in her time of need tormenting her every step of the way.

"Xing, you have to figure out how to control your anger. If I didn't interrupt, she would have died." In a harsh voice, The Matriarch reprimanded her son. Though she hated Wei Wan, she resented the Li family more. In order to strike out at them, she needed Wei Wan.

Wei Xing couldn't digest his furry, yet he didn't want to displease his mother. Hissing in disappointment, he lowered his head and spoke: "Your son knows his wrongs, but today I lost 200 million dollars in different projects."

"We will get another opportunity and pick up another project, but gaining entrance into the Xiao corporations is a necessity. This is our only chance. So, do whatever you need to do in order to make Wei Wan get selected or make sure that no one gets it. Understand?!!"

The Matriarch's only aim to place a Wei into the Xiao Corporation and eventually into a high ranking position. This would then change the other family's views towards her Wei family. To do that, Wei Wan needed to be first in the exam, so she ordered: "Don't be so rash next time."

The Matriarch didn't intend to stay there anymore so she left without a word.

Wei Chang, who was hiding his presence till now, said, "Dad, I think we have a mole inside. If not, how did the Yue's get so lucky, not once, but repeatedly?"

Wei Xing pondered for a second, "Check it out."

Wei Chang's lip turned upward, but he did not lift his head. "Yes, dad."

--- With Yue Xiang--

Yue Xiang made it home by 11:30 p.m. He had heard about Little Wan's propagation against drug addiction, well, to be frank, he was impressed by her presence of mind.

But that jerk demanded 3% of his shares and as a result, he needed to do loads of desk work in order to finish it.

Yue Xiang' head was throbbing in pain, "Uncle Wang please prepare me a big meal, I didn't have any lunch today."

Uncle Wang came with a tray, "Your meal is ready Young Master. Will you have it here in the dining room?"

Yue Xiang shook his head. "In my room."

Upon leaving for his room, he hastily took his bath and had his dinner. It was quite tasty too.

"That's a wonderful supper," he said, making an unusual compliment.

Uncle Wang smiled at him and answered, "The Young Miss supervised everything during the preparations and she also bought you some sweets." As he spoke, Uncle Wang set down the cake and began removing the empty plates.

Yue Xiang took the 'Matcha tea cake' with a slight smirk, "Did he complain a lot?"

"Young Miss personally fed Master his favorite pastry," Uncle Wang returned to his work after conveying the things that happened at the home in detail.

Yue Xiang alone in his room, chuckled a bit. "She cleverly bribed him."

A chilly solid voice came from Yue Xiang's phone: "She is pretty wild,"

Yue Xiang looked at his phone with an annoyed expression. "Will you stop sneaking up on me? And stop hacking my phone every time."

WIth light scoff, the same person from the phone made a statement: "I want a residence near your home,"

"Don't you dare think about it. I said no so it's no," Yue Xiang had effectively paid him millions yet here he is, yearning for more. Not only that, he didn't trust this jerk near his home.

"Not asking permission." A cold voice rebuked.

'Beep...Beep' After that the line was cut off.

Massaging his temples, Yue Xiang let out a breath, and exclaimed: "Can't they make my life a little less miserable?"

Laying down on his bed with his back facing up, he breathed: "I need a vacation."
