At this instant, Mo Beichen had really calmed down. The pictures that Liu Yinyin sent are definitely not real and so is the text message. So, if Xia Weilan didn’t send the text message, that means it would be impossible for her to be hugging with Ouyang Mingqi. There must be an explanation for this. It must be Ouyang Mingqi pestering his wife.
How could he not understand such an obvious reason before?
Mo Beichen stared annoyingly at Liu Yinyin.
“Liu Yinyin, are you still trying to shift the blame to others? Do you think we are all blind?” Mo Beichen said solemnly.
Liu Yinyin closed her mouth and dared not speak anymore.
What should I do now?
What will the old master and Mo Beichen do to me?
“Grandpa.” Xia Weilan’s voice was cold and she sounded exhausted, “Grandpa, I just remembered that for the past three months, I kept feeling that someone had been following me around. Perhaps, it’s one of Liu Yinyin’s informants. And these few days, I’ve suffered damage to my reputation and I couldn’t even defend myself. I hadn’t been able to eat for the past few days. Grandpa, you must seek justice for me.”
When Mo Beichen heard Xia Weilan saying that she hadn’t been able to eat, his mind went blank for a few seconds. He then recalled what he did to her yesterday and he even made her cry.
Thinking of this, he really wished he could pull Xia Weilan into his arms now.
Old Master Mo didn’t say anything. He took out his phone and made a call, “Come to my place, now.”
Liu Yinyin knew that Old Master Mo was calling Mo Donglin. She was a little scared because she didn’t know what the old master was going to do to her. At this instant, she really wished she could strangle Xia Weilan to death for putting her in such a situation.
But the next second, Liu Yinyin apologized to Xia Weilan in a soft voice, “Weilan, I’m sorry. I knew what I did was wrong. Please forgive me.”
“Grandpa!” Xia Weilan called out to the old master softly.
Old Master Mo’s face sank when he heard Liu Yinyin’s words. He said to her, “You must receive your punishment.”
“Grandpa, what punishment? What did Yinyin do?” Mo Donglin rushed in.
“You’re just in time. Your wife framed Weilan. Are you aware of this?” The old master stared sternly at him, waiting for an answer.
Mo Donglin glanced at Liu Yinyin who looked guilty. He recalled that Liu Yinyin had sent someone to trail Xia Weilan previously and he immediately realized that Liu Yinyin must have done something bad to Xia Weilan.
“Grandpa, Yinyin must have been confused and made a mistake. I’m the one who failed to discipline her. I’m the one who should be blamed.” Mo Donglin didn’t find any excuse and he was very sincere.
“Weilan, no matter what Yinyin did to you. Let me apologize to you on her behalf.” Mo Dongling knew that at this instant, the final decision lay with Xia Weilan. He immediately bowed to her and maintained his posture, refusing to straighten his back.
Xia Weilan was stunned. But she didn’t walk over to help him up. She stared at Mo Beichen sadly and said, “Donglin, I had a big fight with Mo Beichen over this. This is not a trivial matter.”
When Old Master Mo recalled how Beichen walked in wearing an indifferent expression just now, he felt very sorry for Xia Weilan. He immediately said, “From now on, Liu Yinyin will kneel at the ancestral hall for a week. She is not allowed to come out without my order. Donglin, you will keep an eye on her. You should reflect on yourself for not watching after your wife properly.”
“Yes.” Without a second word, Mo Donglin dragged Liu Yinyin to the ancestral hall.
“Weilan, are you satisfied with this?” Old Master Mo sighed and said to Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan knew that although Old Master Mo loved her, Mo Donglin was also his grandson. It’s impossible for him not to love him too. It’s just that his love for Mo Donglin is less than what he had for Mo Beichen. It’s not practical to ask the old master to pass down a heavier punishment to Liu Yinyin. So, Xia Weilan nodded.
When things already came to this stage, Mo Beichen knew that he had really made a big mistake.
Mo Beichen walked to Xia Weilan’s with heavy footsteps. He lowered his head and said, “Weilan, I’m sorry. I’ve blamed you wrongly.”
Xia Weilan was still upset and she doesn’t feel like forgiving him yet, “So, you’ve realized that you’re wrong? Do you think an apology is useful?”
Mo Beichen didn’t feel annoyed anymore. He gazed at her and said, “I’ll apologize to you until you forgive me.”
Xia Weilan turned her head away and thanked the old master, “Thanks, grandpa. In the end, you are the one who trusted me the most.”
This sentence was actually meant for Mo Beichen.
Old Master Mo noticed the meaning behind her words. He led Xia Weilan into the dining room, ignoring Mo Beichen and said kindly to Xia Weilan, “My child, do you want to do your internship at Mo Corp during your school holiday? Grandpa can arrange it for you.”
“Well, thank you, Grandpa.” Xia Weilan said sincerely.
Mo Beichen walked in with them and mocked himself, ‘Who asked you not to trust Weilan? Serve you right!’
In the Mo family’s ancestral hall, Liu Yinyin knelt in front of the hall, while Mo Donglin stood beside her with a hideous expression.
“Why did you frame Xia Weilan?” Mo Donglin asked in confusion.
Liu Yinyin wore a cold and dismay expression. She wept before speaking.
Mo Donglin’s heart immediately softened, but he still stared coldly at Liu Yinyin because what she had done was really unacceptable.
Liu Yinyin let out a few sobs. When she saw that it was not working, she stopped crying and explained in a soft voice, “Donglin, can’t you tell why I did it? Xia Weilan is really outstanding in designing, it is no surprise that she will be returning to the Xia Corps to manage the company in the near future. When that day comes, doesn’t that mean Mo Beichen has a competent assistant with him? Would you still have a say in the company?”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to do anything for you because I love you. But I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. The only mistake I made is that I left some evidence behind and dragged you into this mess.”
In the quiet ancestral hall, her frail and gentle voice was like spring water that wrapped around Mo Donglin’s heart easily.
Liu Yinyin noticed Mo Donglin’s expression turned gentle and she continued to say, “If I didn’t get caught, the ones who would be at odds will be Mo Beichen and the others. Because of old-time sake with the late Old Master Xia, grandpa would certainly defend Xia Weilan and he would be at odds with Mo Beichen. And by that time, grandpa will start to focus his attention on you. Donglin, I really felt that life is so unfair to you.”
“Stop talking.” Mo Donglin felt uncomfortable, “Don’t do such stupid things next time.”
Mo Donglin wasn’t even angry. He had long pitied, let alone blame her.
Liu Yinyin laughed secretly because it is too easy to deceive this Mo Donglin.
Back then, before they got married, Mo Donglin was still a hothead. It only takes her a few graceful words and he married her and even helped her family to get through difficult times.
And now, Mo Donglin was still so easy to deceive.
Liu Yinyin lowered her head as if she was disappointed. But in fact, her face is filled with jealousy.
She was put on by Xia Weilan today, which really caught her off guard.
Next time, she must plan carefully and make sure that she will definitely succeed.
Liu Yinyin thought to herself that she must never let Mo Donglin find out the real reason for targeting Xia Weilan. If Mo Donglin found out that she had always loved Mo Beichen, he would definitely throw a fit regardless of how good his temper is.
Mo Donglin couldn’t see Liu Yinyin’s expression. He saw that she was kneeling uncomfortably and he quickly walked out and took a very soft cushion and passed it to her, “Yinyin, here. It’ll be less painful after using this.”
Mo Donglin’s heart ached when he thought Liu Yinyin still needed to kneel for a week. He blamed himself even more.
Liu Yinyin was implicated because of him. He blamed himself for being incapable and she’s the one who always sticks out for him.
