Chapter 832: Dangerous Matchmaker
Wei Shaoyin said in a low voice, “Don’t trust him.” As he was nervous, his voice was slightly tense.
Xia Ling did not understand. Even though the Wei Family was a large biopharmaceutical group and had some horrifying technology, Wei Shaoyin was from the Wei Family. Every year, he received dividends. Logically speaking, he should be quite close to his family. Why was he so afraid of Wei Lingnan?
It was just a thought.
Wei Lingnan spoke. “Shaoyin, this doesn’t concern you.” He did not deliberately increase the volume of his voice. Even the tone of his voice did not change, but Wei Shaoyin’s face turned white and he did not dare to rebuke anymore.
Xia Ling was not very happy. “Mr. Wei Lingnan, this is not the Wei Family’s territory. I don’t like that you’re reprimanding my friends on my territory.”
Wei Lingnan’s lips slightly curved as if he were smiling faintly. “It has been years since someone dared to speak to me this way. It’s no wonder that Miss Ling is the phoenix of the Xia Family.”
Xia Ling asked, “What’s so good about you?”
Were all of the people in the Wei Family so self-important?
Wei Lingnan had no interest in arguing with her. He only said, “Miss Ling, congratulations on your return to your family. I’ve brought a present for you.” After that, he presented a very small glass bottle to her. The bottle was filled with a translucent blue liquid. The shiny liquid floated around in the bottle.
Just as Xia Ling was about to take it, Wei Shaoyin suddenly stopped her.
“What is this?” Wei Shaoyin thickened his skin and asked. He knew how horrible those unidentified items in his family were, and even though he ran the risk of provoking his uncle, he was not willing to let Xia Ling come into contact with it ignorantly.
This time, Wei Lingnan did not reprimand him. Perhaps, he was giving Xia Ling face.
Looking at Xia Ling, he said, “This medicine can heal your body, allowing you to get pregnant again.”
“Since when were you unable to get pregnant?!” Wei Shaoyin looked at her in shock.
Xia Ling looked at Wei Lingnan in shock. “How do you know that I can’t get pregnant?!” She never openly announced this, and very few people were aware of it.
Wei Lingnan looked at her very calmly. “Don’t be so shocked, Miss Ling. I know a lot more about you than you think.” One of the reasons was that he suspected that she reincarnated a long time ago and investigated her before. He even ordered Wei Shaoyin to secretly collect her hair and send it to him for tests.
With the Wei Family’s powerful research and analysis, it was not so difficult to find out that she could not become pregnant.
Xia Ling asked, “What do you want?”
Wei Lingnan said, “Don’t be so alarmed. This is only a bottle of a resuscitation drug. It will do nothing except heal your body. Considering the Xia Family, how could I hurt you?”
He smiled again a little sarcastically.
When he wanted to collect information about her and analyze her biological information, the Wei family’s heavily guarded underground base suddenly silently collapsed and many experimental products and viruses were leaked, causing heavy losses. Wei Lingnan knew that this was a warning from the Xia Family to not harm Xia Ling.
He really did not dare to touch Xia Ling. In this world, there was no one powerful enough to compete with the Xia Family.
Even if they were as strong as him.
“Just treat it as an attempt to maintain good relations with the Xia Family.” Wei Lingnan handed the bottle of medicine to her and said, “Actually, today I am here to ask you and Mr. Li about something.”
Beside him, Wei Shaoyin, who had been listening to their entire conversation, turned as white as a ghost. Did he hear wrong? His uncle was asking for something?! Did the sun rise from the west?
Xia Ling felt that her IQ was insufficient. Instinctively, she felt that she could not deal with this man. She accepted the medicine and asked Wei Shaoyin to help her look for Li Lei. Soon, Li Lei rushed over.
“Mr. Wei Lingnan.” He seemed to recognize this man. “Long time no see.”
“Long time no see, Mr. Li.” Wei Lingnan also greeted him politely and smiled. “Thank you for taking care of my nephew for so long. Furthermore, congratulations on gaining the recognition of the Xia Family’s phoenix.”
“It seems that you already knew what the Xia Family phoenix means a long time ago.” Li Lei squinted. When it came to Xiao Ling, he was always very careful, especially when he was dealing with someone dangerous like Wei Lingnan.
He knew Wei Lingnan because their families were business partners.
Few people knew that as the leading biopharmaceutical group, their real core base was built deep underground and they used many rare and prohibited materials, weapons, and defense systems. A large number of their items were transported by the Li Family. Besides the Wei Family, only the Li Family knew how scary their base was.
Li Lei had a deep understanding a long time ago: He could not afford to offend the Wei Family.
Especially the man in front of him. From the first time he saw this man when he accompanied his grandpa as a child till now, twenty years had passed, but this man’s appearance had not changed at all.
Li Lei did not know what sort of person or thing he was.
He quietly guarded Xia Ling. “May I ask why Mr. Wei Lingnan is here today?”
Calmly, Wei Lingnan said, “I heard that you’re going to marry the phoenix. Since you’re marrying into a large family like the Xia Family, it’s necessary to go through all the rituals according to tradition. However, worthy matchmakers aren’t easy to find, right? What do you think if I recommend myself?”
Li Lei slightly frowned. “You?”
“Why? Am I not worthy enough?” Wei Lingnan laughed.
“If Mr. Wei Lingnan is not worthy, then there’s no one else in the world who is worthy enough.” Li Lei said, “However, I’m really surprised. Why are you suddenly interested in these insignificant things?”
“I want to visit the Xia Family.” Wei Lingnan did not hide his intentions. “Li Lei, others do not believe in reincarnation, but I do. I want to see what sort of environment will cause such a miracle.”
This was a very good reason.
Li Lei knew that the Wei Family had been studying these biochemical systems for generations and the ultimate transition from life to death was beyond their imagination. Luckily, Xia Ling was related to the Xia Family. Otherwise, she would have been kidnapped to the Wei Family for experiments a long time ago.
He deeply understood how dangerous and cruel Wei Lingnan was. He said, “Marriage is the union of two families and I will respect the opinion of the Xia Family. How about this, Mr. Wei. I will mention you to the Xia Family. If the Xia Family has no opinion about it, I will have to trouble you to be our matchmaker.”
Wei Lingnan smiled. “Don’t disappoint me.”
After that, he walked into the darkness and disappeared.
Looking at his back view, Xia Ling finally realized that her heart was pounding wildly. Her palms were cold as she grabbed Li Lei’s hands. In a low voice, she asked, “This… person… Why is he so scary?” There was an inexplicable discomfort in her heart. It was more like a biological instinct. When she saw that man, she inexplicably wanted to flee.
Even though he tried to show his goodwill and gave her some medicine, it was useless.
