Chapter 689 - Your Blood (2/2)
Half of the contents were spilled, and Xia Bo could only lick the powder. The amount was not nearly enough. Xia Bo’s body was trembling on the floor as he rolled his eyes. He scratched his face with both hands, and he was in much pain as he moaned, “I want my powder! I want my powder… This will not do. I am going to die…”
Ou Luoxi stooped down slowly, and he stretched his hand out to help Xia Bo up, “I will take you over to the hospital.”
“Don’t!” Xia Xiaofu’s mother shouted out loud, and she stopped him immediately. “You cannot take him to the hospital. He would be gone once he steps foot in the hospital. He would be sent over to the drug rehabilitation centre.”
Ou Luoxi paused for a moment. Suddenly, Xia Bo had a whiff of the leftover powder on his hand, and he immediately went over to lick Ou Luoxi’s fingers.
When he touched Ou Luoxi’s fingers, Xia Bo opened his mouth and harshly bit down on Ou Luoxi’s hand.
Red blood flowed out immediately. Xia Bo was just like a vampire. He was greedy as he quickly sucked on the blood that was flowing on Ou Luoxi’s hand. The bloodstains flowed down from the corners of his lips before dripping down onto the floor.
The scene was extremely frightening.
Ou Luoxi did not move. He allowed Xia Bo to suck his blood, and the soft fringe covering his forehead covered his pure and sparkling eyes. His handsome features were slightly dropped down, and those two blood stains together with that fresh slap mark, made him look extremely dishevelled.
Xai Bo sucked enough fresh blood and let go of his wrist. He lay back down on the floor, and this time, he was not in pain anymore, but he felt extremely comfortable as he hummed out loud before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ou Luoxi stood up and carried Xia Bo back onto the large bed before putting the blankets on him.
After that, he walked into the bathroom to take a towel. He stooped down and cleaned the fresh blood stains on the floor.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was in shock as she watched what was happening. She lowered her gaze down towards Ou Luoxi, who was cleaning the floor, and she broke the silence. “Your blood…”
“I grew up eating wild herbs. They said that a hundred different forms of poison are unable to hurt me. My blood is probably a quencher of Uncle’s addiction.” As he spoke, Ou Luoxi added another line, “I did not know about this beforehand.”
He threw the towel that was stained with blood into the rubbish bin before standing up to head out the door.
He walked over to the side of the door, and Xia Xiaofu’s mother, who was standing behind him, said, “Wait for a minute.”
Ou Luoxi stopped in his tracks.
“Today, I…hit you. I misunderstood you. I am sorry.”
Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze before softly saying, “It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt.”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother looked at his back profile before stuttering, “Your Uncle really cannot be sent to the hospital. His body would not be able to take it. There were many things wrong in the Xia family lately, and Xiaofu is also busy with matters regarding the Xia Corporation.”
He could not be sent into the hospital, but he also could not continue doing drugs. What Xia Xiaofu’s mother meant was very obvious.
“Luo Xi, maybe the situation at hand is not as bad we are thinking it is. Your blood might be the antidote here. After your Uncle takes it for two or three days, he may be able to quit, and he might get well.”
Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up slowly as he said, “Okay.”
He headed out the door.
…
Xia Xiaofu met with huge trouble in the company. Those shareholders noticed that she was very young, and she was unfamiliar with the matters in the company, so they took every chance to bully her.
But those shareholders only removed Xia Bo from his role as Director, and the shares that Xia Bo owned were already all in Xia Xiaofu’s hands. Xia Xiaofu was the number one shareholder in the Xia Corporation, and following the company tradition, she should be holding the role of temporary Director. After three months, they would announce a shareholder’s meeting to vote and decide if she is really able to take on the role of Director.
Xia Xiaofu was not interested in being Director, but in this situation where she was bullied by everyone, if she did not put on a hard front, everyone would take the opportunity to step on her.
So she used all of her abilities to fight for the position of temporary Director.
In the meeting room, everyone was giving her cold looks. No one agreed to her decisions, and someone laughed and said, “What about this: let’s raise our hands right now to decide if Miss Xia would be able to take on the position of temporary director?”
“You!” Xia Xiaofu was furious, and if they did it based on raising hands, then she would definitely lose without a doubt.
She was all alone in this company without anyone supporting her, and there was no one who she could unite and rely on.
Bang! The large doors of the meeting room were pushed open, and someone walked in.
Xia Xiaofu raised her head up to look over. It was Ou Ze.
Why was he here?
The other shareholders noticed Ou Ze arriving, and they all stood up, nodded their heads, and bent their waists down to say, “President Ou, why do you have time today to come down to our Xia Corporation?”
Xia Xiaofu had a cold expression on her face as she looked at these devilish people. The Ou Corporation had a share in all the companies in T City, and it was no wonder that these people saw Ou Ze and respected him so much.
Ou Ze looked over at Xia Xiaofu, smiled, and said. “Xiaofu, it has been such a long time since we last met.”
Xia Xiaofu raised her eyebrows and said, “Why are you here? This is the meeting room of our Xia Corporation.”
Fu Gui helped Ou Ze to pull out the first chair that was by Xia Xiaofu’s right hand. Ou Ze was full of confidence as he sat down and said, “Oh, Xiaofu, you probably did not know something. I am a shareholder of Xia Corporation.”
“What?” Xia Xiaofu was taken aback. It was obvious that she did not know about such matters within the company.
Ou Ze had a look at the other shareholders and said, “Xiaofu, are you trying to get the position of temporary director? And the people here are objecting? What about this: I support you.”
Xia Xiaofu was not elated at all. Would Ou Ze be so kind?
A businessman who was powerful and cruel like him, he was all out for profit.
The other shareholders looked at Ou Ze’s gaze and all nodded their heads. They said, “Okay, since President Ou has said so, then we will agree to Miss Xia becoming our temporary Director.”
“But, in the next three months, Miss Xia has to show some results to make us develop a different opinion of her. If not, during the shareholder’s meeting in three months, Miss Xia would be back in her original position.”
“That’s right. Director Xia, you have to thank President Ou this time. Otherwise it would not be possible for you to have this chance. You have to thank President Ou privately later.”
…
Everyone’s gazes slowly became implicative.
She was originally engaged to Ou Ze, and Ou Ze was defending her in front of everyone. It was funny if these people did not think of them like that.
After the meeting ended, everyone left. Xia Xiaofu looked Ou Ze in the eye and said, “Ou Ze, what are you trying to do?”
Ou Ze shrugged his shoulders innocently and said, “I am purely trying out to help you, Xiaofu. Don’t be nervous. I only fought for a chance for you. Over the next three months, you still have to work hard.”
“It would be best if this is the case.” Xia Xiaofu took the documents before leaving, and her high heels clicked on the ground as she walked away.
She just walked out of the meeting room, and she lowered her gaze down to have a look at her watch. It was already five in the evening. She took her phone out and wanted to give Ou Luoxi a call.
“Director Xia.” Someone rushed over in a hurry and handed a huge stack of documents to her as he said, “These are the urgent documents that you have to go through today.”
“So many?” Xia Xiaofu was dumbfounded. Even if she went through them till tomorrow morning, she would be unable to finish them.
“Director Xia, these are only the documents. There are many projects that are going on in the company that need to be handed over to you. You just came on board, and there are many aspects that you do not understand. You have to learn them slowly, and during this period of time, you might be unable to go back home. In the past, previous Director Xia would stay in the Xia Corporation hotel when he was busy, and I believe that Director Xia would be able to do it.”
In the past, was her father working so hard? Okay then. Xia Xiaofu took the documents. She believed in herself, and she also could do it!
Ou Ze stood inside the meeting room to look at Xia Xiaofu, who was standing outside the door, and there was a sinister smile on the corners of his lips.
