Xia Ruolin laughed arrogantly. Everyone at home listened to her, and Ouyang Mingqi only loved her. Her best friends flattered her and she was really delighted.

Xia Weilan happened to invite Rui Li to dine-in at the same restaurant.

When she passed by the door of Xia Ruolin’s private room, she heard a familiar voice. She couldn’t help but take a glance inside and saw Xia Roulin’s triumphant look.

Xia Weilan thought to herself that she really admired Xia Roulin’s courage for shamelessly showing off a person like Ouyang Mingqi.

After they went into the private room opposite Xia Roulin’s, Rui Li immediately asked, “What’s the matter? Why do you want to meet me so early?”

Xia Weilan told her about how she was framed.

“Last night?” Rui Li was a little upset, “If I knew this would happen, I would have stayed with you last night. I’ll see who dares to set you up! What about Mo-ge? What did he say?”

Xia Weilan pulled out a sad face, “He doesn’t believe me.”

Hearing Xia Weilan’s answer, Rui Li was taken aback, “No way! Mo-ge is such a smart person…”

“Sigh, no matter how smart a person is, there will be a time that they will act impetuously. Xia Weilan shook her head and said with a serious face, “The reason I called out is to ask you to help me check on Liu Yinyin. I suspect that she is behind this.”

“Okay.” Rui Li nodded immediately, “Are you saying that someone used your mobile number to send a text message? If that’s the case, it is possible to find out who is the person behind this. I know a few hackers. They can help us to track the IP address of the person who sent the text message over the internet.”

“I’ll leave it to you.” Xia Weilan saw a glimmer of hope.

When Xia Weilan returned to Fairview Imperial Court, Mo Beichen wasn’t home yet.

Xia Weilan felt miserable. This is the first time that Mo Beichen ignored her. He didn’t look at her and even felt irritated seeing her.

That evening, Mo Beichen called Nan Fengyan out to have a drink in the bar. He sat at a corner and drank one glass after another without saying anything.

“You asked me to come out with you, but you drank on your own to drown your sorrow. What’s going on with you?” Nan Fengyan said helplessly as he sat beside him.

“Come, cheers!” Mo Beichen stared at him and then emptied another glass of expensive wine.

“Why do you need to be like this? Maybe, it’s not what it appears to be? Perhaps, it’s all just a misunderstanding.” Nan Fengyan persuaded him.

Hearing this, Mo Beichen finally vented his irritation that he had bottled up the whole day. He said sternly to Nan Fengyan, “Do you really think it’s a misunderstanding? It may be a misunderstanding that they appeared together in front of the bridal shop. But what about the text message? Is it also a misunderstanding that they hugged each other?”

Nan Fengyan tucked his neck. Mo Beichen was acting like he was about to skin him alive.

Nan Fengyan remembered what Rui Li said, ‘Nowadays, text messages could be fake.’

“It could be a misunderstanding too. Didn’t Weilan say she never sent the message from her phone? Why don’t you listen to her explanation?”

Explanation? Mo Beichen shut his eyes gloomily.

Xia Weilan didn’t even bother to explain herself in front of him. Doesn’t this mean that she had admitted to it?

“You can believe this kind of thing yourself. Don’t talk me into believing it.” Mo Beichen said. He stopped talking and kept drinking until he was drunk.

By the time the driver drove Mo Beichen back to Fairview Imperial Court, Mo Beichen was already very drunk.

“Tell me, what’s the misunderstanding about! Come out and explain it clearly to me!” Mo Beichen yelled as soon as he entered the hall. The servants were all frightened and nobody dared to approach him.

Just when Mo Beichen looked around the house and was about to lose his patience as he couldn’t find Xia Weilan, he saw her walk through the door.

“Where have you been?” Mo Beichen looked at her with a hideous expression.

Where did she run off to in the middle of the night?

Xia Weilan was taking a stroll in the garden just now. When she heard that Mo Beichen was home, she immediately rushed back into the house. She didn’t expect to find him in such an angry state. She couldn’t help but feel sullen.

The room reeks of alcohol and she frowned, “We’ll talk once you’ve sober up.”

After speaking, Xia Weilan went to the kitchen to check if Aunt Tian was done with the hangover soup.

But the moment she took a step, Mo Beichen held a tight grip on her wrist.

In the next second, Mo Beichen began to strip her clothing eagerly. His action was rough.

Xia Weilan quickly struggled to escape from him, “Get your head together!”

Her skin was thin and delicate. She immediately felt pain shooting up her body when his big hands rubbed recklessly against her skin.

“How dare you refuse me?” Mo Beichen stared at Xia Weilan in disbelief. He leaned over her and bit hard on her half-exposed shoulder.

He tasted blood in his mouth while Xia Wielan froze on the spot. She didn’t scream in pain and she stopped moving.

He slowly lifted his head and realized that Xia Weilan was biting her lips with tears streaming down her face.

At that instant, Mo Beichen was already half sober. He stared blankly at her. He felt a little annoyed and a little sad. He reached out his hand to wipe the tears off her face.

But Xia Weilan pushed his hand away mercilessly.

His distress quickly turned into coldness.

He went upstairs mercilessly. But before he went upstairs, he told the butler, “Don’t let Xia Weilan out of the house in the future.”

Xia Weilan stood still and said nothing.

She knew that Mo Beichen was using the fact that he is drunk to vent his dissatisfaction toward her.

Aunt Tian walked out of the kitchen with the hangover soup. When she saw Xia Weilan standing there, she couldn’t help but sigh, “Why did this happen?”

“Aunt Tian, bring the hangover soup upstairs for the young master.” Xia Weilan sniffed as she said to Aunt Tian.

" "

Aunt Tian said in distress, “Young Madam…”

She let out another sigh and went upstairs with the hangover soup.

She brought the soup to the study.

But Mo Beichen was not in the study, but the door of the guest room was open.

In the middle of the night, Mo Beichen woke up with a terrible headache. He subconsciously called out in the dark, “Weilan.”

When he realized that no one responded to his call, he flipped on the side lamp and realized that he had fallen asleep in the guest room.

He walked out of the guest room and stood in front of the door of the master bedroom for a long while.

Once his headache got a little better, he went back to the guest room and closed the door.

Perhaps, this is how it felt like to be stabbed in the heart by a knife.

He wasn’t able to fall asleep for the rest of the night because he had a lot on his mind.

Early morning on the following day. Xia Weilan came downstairs, and Aunt Tian immediately said, “Young Madam, the Old Master called just now to ask you to head over to the old mansion for breakfast with the young master. The young master has already gone out to get the car ready,”

Xia Weilan didn’t have time to think about it. She walked out of the house and sure enough, she saw Mo Beichen sitting at the driver’s seat with the car parked in front of her.

The moment she opened the door of the passenger seat, she heard Mo Beichen saying indifferently, “Who said you can come along.”

She grabbed the door handle tightly but let go and closed the door without a word.

The cold wind was piercing through her bones outside. It only took a while before her hands turned red from frostbite.

In the next second, Mo Beichen’s car slowly drove away in front of her.

The driver drove another car and pulled up in front of her, “Young Madam, I will be driving you to the Old Mansion.”

Xia Weilan got into the car.

The heater in the car was turned on full blast. However, her hands trembled for a long while before they finally recovered from the coldness.

“Young madam, it’s too cold outside. Next time, come out from the house after I give you a call.” The driver said politely.

When he drove over just now, he saw Xia Weilan was already standing outside and her hair was already covered in snowflakes. At that moment, he was utterly shocked.

How can I let young madam stand outside, waiting for me?
