Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Chapter 1381 - Untitled

After hanging up the phone with Jun Shiling, Xia Yu followed Jun Shiling’s request and asked the local people in Continent F if they had seen a similar pattern. However, the answer he received was no.

“Okay, thank you.” Xia Yu nodded at the local residents and walked along the street towards the shore.

This was a small village by the sea. The streets here looked dilapidated because of the war all year round. Xia Yu occasionally stopped to buy some daily necessities.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Yu was about to return to the team when he saw Lin Yi bandaging an injured child by the street not far away.

The little kid’s face was dirty. Lin Yi wiped the dirt off his mouth with her sleeve, then took out a milk candy from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. “Bear with it. It won’t hurt anymore after I bandage you.”

Children always hid in the chaos of war and had never seen someone as gentle as Lin Yi. He looked at Lin Yi in a daze and even forgot the pain in his arm.

The medical conditions here were simple, so Lin Yi could only treat him simply.

Over the past two days, Xia Yu’s ship had temporarily stopped here, so Lin Yi had been treating the people around here.

Her white clothes were already covered in all sorts of dirt. Her beautiful black hair was tied up behind her head, and she looked very tired because she did not sleep well.

However, in the chaos, Xia Yu felt that she was very eye-catching.

He did not disturb Lin Yi and stood quietly at the side.

After some time, Lin Yi packed her things and was about to leave when she looked up and saw Xia Yu leaning against the wall.

Lin Yi nodded at Xia Yu. “Why are you here?”

“I was passing by.” Xia Yu glanced at the medical kit in Lin Yi’s hand. “You came to treat them again.”

“Mm.” Lin Yi carried her things and was about to leave when Xia Yu reached out to take the medical kit from Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and tacitly agreed to Xia Yu’s movements.

“We’re preparing to return to China.” As Xia Yu walked, he turned to look at Lin Yi. “What are your plans? Do you want to come with us?”

Lin Yi shook her head. “I don’t want to go back.”

Perhaps after returning, her life would be comfortable. In Continent F, life was filled with danger.

However, a bird that was used to flying in the sky could not tolerate life in a cage.

“I’ll continue to stay here. Our newspaper needs war reporters too. If the others are unwilling to come, I’m willing.”

“Okay.”

To Lin Yi’s surprise, Xia Yu had become especially easy to talk to in the past two days and did not mention their marriage anymore.

The conversation between the two fell silent. Lin Yi began to miss the time when the two of them had yet to open their relationship.

She thought of that moonlit night in the desert. Xia Yu was holding her hand and there was no one around. The two of them chatted quietly under the starry sky.

However, now,

Lin Yi secretly turned to look at Xia Yu and met Xia Yu’s smiling eyes.

“When are you leaving?” Since Xia Yu had seen her, Lin Yi did not hesitate anymore. She looked at Xia Yu openly.

“In five hours.”

“Oh.” Lin Yi pursed her lips. “Then, have a safe trip.”

The corners of Xia Yu’s lips curled up slightly and he did not respond to Lin Yi.

Unknowingly, the two of them had already walked back to the ship. Lin Yi did not seem to be in a good mood. She took back her things. “Since you’re leaving, I’ll pack my things and leave later.”

Xia Yu replied and watched Lin Yi leave, thinking about something.

In Beijing, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, it was already night.

It had already rained twice in autumn, and the temperature outside was already relatively low. Xia Wanyuan sat up from the bed. Jun Shiling, who was working at the side, walked over with a blanket and covered Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder.

“Have you slept well? Are you hungry?”

Xia Wanyuan nodded. “I’m hungry.”

Soon, someone sent the food over. Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan mouthful by mouthful. Seeing Xia Wanyuan eat like a kitten, Jun Shiling’s eyes flickered. He suddenly leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan’s face.

Caught off guard, Xia Wanyuan stopped chewing. She glanced at Jun Shiling. “What are you doing?”

Jun Shiling kissed her again. “I’m very happy.”

“What?”

Over the past few days, Jun Shiling had been worried about Xia Wanyuan’s health and had always been tense.

However, just now, seeing Xia Wanyuan eat like a kitten, the string in Jun Shiling’s heart suddenly softened.

He finally felt a little real. Xia Wanyuan was really safe and had given birth to their children.

This late joy finally engulfed Jun Shiling like a tide.

Jun Shiling put his bowl aside and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms, kissing her forehead non-stop.

Xia Wanyuan was sad and touched. She allowed Jun Shiling to vent the joy in her heart while feeling a little helpless. “CEO Jun, I’m so hungry. How long has it been since I ate?”

Only then did Jun Shiling let go of her and feed her again. “Eat properly. I heard from others that you must take good care of a woman in the first month after giving birth. I’ll be in charge of your daily life this month.”

Although the gold medal nanny would also arrange Xia Wanyuan’s living arrangements, Jun Shiling was still worried. He was afraid that something would happen to Xia Wanyuan’s health.

Looking at Jun Shiling’s anxious and nervous expression, Xia Wanyuan’s heart warmed.

The reason why she was willing to risk ten months of pregnancy and give birth to those two children with all her might was because she knew that Jun Shiling was worth it.

“Alright, then I’ll enjoy CEO Jun’s care.” Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun Shiling. “I want to go to the window to take a look. I’m so bored being cooped up in bed every day.”

“I’ll play chess with you.” Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan to the French window and brought the chessboard.

Not far away, the two babies were sleeping soundly. The room was quiet, with only the sound of chess pieces landing.

The manor was silent, but the outside world was surging.

During this period of time, the Xuan family had become more and more high-profile.

At first, Xuan Li was still worried about Xia Wanyuan’s counterattack. However, ever since the news of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling being kidnapped spread, Xuan Li watched for a while and completely fell into madness.

He increased the investment in various projects and tried to snatch the Moon Bay project from the Xiafeng Group.

The shares of the Xuan family’s company rose and became something that everyone flocked to.

However, just now, this stock that had advanced rapidly and became the most investment-worthy stock in recent times suddenly fell.

At the same time, all the major news media exposed the various problems of the Xuan company.

Xuan Li’s appetite was too big, and his strides were quite big. He often swallowed this project in one gulp and went to buy the next project before he could digest it.

Under such a series of adverse reactions, the Xuan Corporation’s investment project finally exploded.

“I heard that the Xuan family is holding a board meeting soon. I’m afraid Xuan Li won’t be able to protect the position of the head of the Xuan family this time. The Xuan family will suffer a huge loss this time.”

[Serves him right. I have good reason to suspect that this person was the one who caused Xuan Sheng’s accident. After Xuan Sheng passed away, this person danced too happily. I’ve long disliked him.]

[ I just want to ask, are he and Xuan Sheng really brothers? They really don’t look alike at all. Xuan Sheng is much better-looking than him. I feel that Xuan Sheng is the real crown prince. This person is like that tanuki. ]

[ Sigh, if only Xuan Sheng wasn’t dead. I feel that he’s so pitiful. His parents don’t love him, and the person he likes doesn’t like him either. He died for no reason. ]

The Internet was in an uproar. In the Xuan family corporation, the usually calm Xuan Li threw everything to the ground.

“Idiot!!”

The assistant walked forward and packed the documents. “CEO Xuan, the meeting is about to start. You have to let others see your confidence.”

Xuan Li took a deep breath. “Where’s Xuan Sheng’s corpse?”

“It was cremated long ago.” The assistant looked at Xuan Li in confusion. “What’s wrong, CEO Xuan? Not long after Xuan Sheng was salvaged, Linxi cremated him. Why are you asking this now?”

“No.” Xuan Li scratched his hair. “Things have been too strange recently. Everything seems to be Xuan Sheng’s doing.”

In the middle of the day, the assistant was frightened by Xuan Li’s words. “CEO Xuan, no way. At that time, we sent someone to the scene to check. It was Xuan Sheng himself.”

“No.” Xuan Li had a very bad feeling. “It’s not that simple. Back then, our people were not hidden. If Xuan Sheng really died, according to Xia Wanyuan’s style, she would definitely look for us. However, she didn’t. Does that mean…”

As Xuan Li spoke, his expression changed.

The victory during this period of time was too easy, so much so that he ignored many hidden details.

Now that he thought about it carefully, there were many flaws.

Xuan Sheng might not be dead?!

Thinking of this, Xuan Li panicked visibly. His back even broke out in cold sweat.

At that moment, a staff member knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Xuan Li suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and replied.

The subordinate walked in. “CEO Xuan, the board of directors is about to hold a meeting. The shareholders asked me to invite you over.”

“I’ll go over now.”

The most important thing now was to settle the old men in the company and consolidate his status as the person in charge of the Xuan family. Xuan Li tidied his suit and walked out the door.

Just as he entered the meeting room and saw the person sitting not far away, Xuan Li stood rooted to the ground as if his acupoints had been tapped.

Beside the desk in front, Xuan Sheng was dressed in a suit. His sleeves were loosely rolled up to his elbows, and he had a casual smile on his exquisite face.

Seeing Xuan Li walk over, Xuan Sheng raised an eyebrow at him. “CEO Xuan, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

“Why are you here?! Get out.” The moment he saw Xuan Sheng, Xuan Li understood everything, including the funding problem during this period of time.

Xuan Sheng must have been controlling it in the dark. No wonder I felt that the recent project acquisition was too easy.

Now that Xuan Sheng had appeared here, Xuan Li could tell that Xuan Sheng had ill intentions.

“What are you saying?” Xuan Sheng smiled. “I’m the legitimate son of the Xuan family. Why can’t I be here? Besides.”

As Xuan Sheng spoke, he threw a stack of documents in front of Xuan Li.

“I’m already holding 25% of the shares. According to the ratio, I’m an absolute major shareholder. What right do you have to get me to leave?”

The moment he saw the document, Xuan Li felt his blood pressure soar to the peak.

No wonder the Xuan family’s shares had been so abnormal recently. Now that Xuan Li knew the reason that Xuan Sheng must have been manipulating everything behind the scenes to completely control the shares of the Xuan family corporation.

Looking at Xuan Li’s flustered expression, Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes. He smiled and looked at the shareholders. “Since CEO Xuan is already here, let’s start the meeting.”

The meeting was very short, but for the entire Xuan family corporation, it experienced a turbulence.

As applause sounded in the meeting room, Xuan Li collapsed weakly on the chair.

Not far away, Xuan Sheng received the applause and congratulations from everyone while smiling at Xuan Li.

The Xuan Corporation had changed owners. Xuan Li took his things and left angrily. Just as he entered the office, Xuan Sheng followed him in.

“What a good Xuan Sheng.” Xuan Li looked at Xuan Sheng as if he was poisoned. “Good plan. I should have known that you wouldn’t die so easily.”

Xuan Sheng looked at Xuan Li with a faint smile. “I didn’t want the Xuan Corporation, but you crossed my bottom line.”

Xuan Li knew Xuan Sheng’s bottom line the best. He sneered. “Xia Wanyuan has a husband. You daydream all day long and stick your warm face to her cold butt. You’re just making a fool of yourself?”

Xuan Sheng could not be bothered to talk to him anymore. “If you touch her, you have to pay the price.”

Xuan Li shook his head in disdain. “Who do you think you are?? I did lose the power of the Xuan family’s company to you, but let me tell you, as long as I’m still alive, I’ll kick you out of that position again.”

A few smiles appeared in Xuan Sheng’s eyes.

“Really? Then I’ll wait for you to kick me. However, I’m afraid you won’t be able to kick me outside. You’ll have to kick me in prison.”

Xuan Li looked up suddenly. “What do you mean? What do you mean in prison?”

Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes. “Do you really think no one knows when you’re jumping up and down between the major families like a clown? It’s not that I don’t want to take revenge, but the time isn’t right.”

As soon as Xuan Sheng finished speaking, the police officers who had been waiting outside rushed in.

“Xuan Li, you’re suspected of deliberately killing someone and endangering the public’s safety. Come with us.”

Xuan Li silently reached out to the police. The moment the police took out the handcuffs, Xuan Li took out a gun from his pocket and fired at the people around him.

“Move, or I’ll kill them!” Xuan Li took two hostages and moved back as he pressed the knife against them.

Everyone was afraid of the hostage in Xuan Li’s hand and did not dare to go forward. They could only let Xuan Li hold her hostage and walk towards the parking lot downstairs.

Xuan Li grabbed the hostage and arrived at the underground parking lot unimpeded.

At this moment, upstairs, the sniper was listening to his superior’s orders.

“Kill the kidnapper.”

As the order from his superior came, the sniper focused his aim on Xuan Li.

Seeing that Xuan Li was about to get into the car with the two hostages, the sniper pressed the button gently.

With a bang, Xuan Li’s neck was pierced and he fell to the ground. The police immediately surrounded him and quickly took the hostage and Xuan Li’s corpse away.

Although Xuan Li was dead, the police had helped him sort out all the crimes he had committed.

Other than the various improper measures he had taken to expand his business, there were a few other things that received the attention of the outside world.

That was the car accident at Jiang Yun’s wedding and the explosion on the street.

“According to the police, when Jiang Yun got into a car accident at her wedding, she was almost killed. It was actually Xuan Li who was behind it. He joined forces with Jiang Kui to kill Jiang Yun. At that time, if not for Jiang Yun’s husband stepping forward, Jiang Yun would probably be a bag of bones now.”

“It’s not just this. Back then, the explosion on the street that Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng encountered was finally confirmed. The mastermind behind the scenes was Xuan Li. Xuan Sheng’s death was also controlled by Xuan Li. He hurt so many people for the corporation.”

[ Oh my god… What a terrifying person. He simply doesn’t take human lives seriously. He actually dared to bomb Xia Wanyuan. Beat him to death!! ]

[ I said back then that there must be something fishy about Xuan Sheng’s death. From the looks of it, it’s indeed his younger brother who’s behind it. What kind of person is he? It’s too easy for him to die like this. ]

[ Sigh, it’s a pity that Xuan Sheng can’t come back. With such a younger brother and such a father, Xuan Sheng is really too pitiful. I’m autistic for him. ]

Xuan Li’s downfall finally brought down the forces behind him. The entire Xuan family’s corporation was facing a reshuffle.

The various families had been coveting the Xuan family for a long time.

Now that Xuan Sheng and Xuan Li were both dead, and Father Xuan had long lost control of the company, everyone swarmed forward, wanting to take this opportunity to divide the assets of the Xuan family corporation.

At this moment, the Xuan family suddenly informed the outside world that the new head would actually control the entire corporation.

Everyone discussed. Now, the Xuan family was only left with an empty shelf. Who would take over as the head of the family?

Then, everyone saw Xuan Sheng at the Xuan family’s press conference.

The reporters present thought that they had recognized the wrong person. It was only when Xuan Sheng spoke and heard a familiar voice and saw Xuan Sheng’s familiar style of speech that everyone was certain that it was really Xuan Sheng himself.

[!!! Oh my god, Xuan Sheng is really not dead!! Ahhh!! The safety amulet I went to the temple to ask for is indeed useful!! ]

[I have a bold idea in my mind. Has Xuan Sheng been hiding recently and looking for an opportunity to capture Xuan Li and the rest in one fell swoop? Then, he will successfully counterattack and snatch the Xuan family back.]

[ Xuan Sheng is really not dead… I feel that I’m filled with hope for the entire world again. Boohoo, good people will be rewarded, bad people will be punished. ]

During this period of time, Xuan Sheng had been in Linxi City. Now that he had finally returned to Beijing, he was most worried about Xia Wanyuan’s health.

After asking Jun Shiling for permission, Xuan Sheng walked into the manor for the first time.

In the living room, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a blanket and playing cards with Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling did as he said. During Xia Wanyuan’s confinement period, Jun Shiling pushed all h
