Xia Ruolin laughed with extreme pride. At home, everyone listened to her, and Ouyang Mingqi only loved her. Outside, her girlfriends all flattered her, which made her feel extremely comfortable.
Xia Weilan had made an appointment with Ruili to have dinner in this restaurant.
When she passed by the door where Xia Ruolin was, she accidentally heard a familiar voice. She couldn't help but take a look and immediately saw Xia Ruolin looking smug.
Xia Weilan thought that for someone like Ouyang Mingqi, Xia Ruolin still had the nerve to show off. She was really impressed by her shamelessness.
Entering the private room opposite, Ruili immediately asked, "You asked me out so early. What's up?"
Xia Weilan told her about how she had been framed.
"Last night?" Ruili felt a bit annoyed. "I should have been with you last night. Let's see who would dare to wrong you. What about Brother Mo? What did he say?"
Xia Weilan pulled a dejected face. "He doesn't believe me."
Hearing Xia Weilan's answer, Ruili was a bit stunned. "How could that be? Brother Mo is such a smart person..."
"Hey, even the smartest person can be impulsive because of emotions." Xia Weilan shook her head and said seriously, "I asked you out because I want you to help me check on Liu Yinyin. I suspect she's involved in all these things."
"Okay." Ruili immediately nodded. "You said someone sent the text message using your phone number? In this case, it's actually possible to track down the person behind it. I know some hackers. They can track the original IP address through the network."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Xia Weilan saw a glimmer of hope.
When Xia Weilan returned to the Grand View Mansion again, Mo Beichen wasn't back at all.
Xia Weilan felt uncomfortable. This was the first time Mo Beichen ignored her, didn't look at her, and even seemed annoyed just at the sight of her.
That night, Mo Beichen made an appointment with Nan Fengyan to drink in a bar. He sat in a corner, silently drinking glass after glass.
"Hey, you asked me out, but you're just drinking by yourself. What's going on?" Nan Fengyan said helplessly as he leaned over.
"Come on, cheers!" Mo Beichen just glanced at him indifferently and then gulped down another glass of top - grade wine.
"I said, why are you doing this? Maybe it's not as it seems on the surface. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding." Nan Fengyan tried to persuade him.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen finally vented his annoyance of the whole day. He said sharply to Nan Fengyan, "You call it a misunderstanding? Maybe it could be a misunderstanding that they were pulling at each other in the bridal shop, but what about the text message? And what about them hugging each other? Is that also a misunderstanding?"
Nan Fengyan shrank his neck. Mo Beichen's expression was like he was going to eat him.
Nan Fengyan remembered what Ruili had said. In this day and age, text messages could be fake. "It might also be a misunderstanding. Weilan has already said that the text message wasn't sent from her phone. You might as well listen to her explanation."
Explanation? Mo Beichen closed his eyes gloomily. Xia Weilan didn't even explain when she stood in front of him. Didn't this mean she had admitted it?
"Believe this kind of thing yourself. Don't try to persuade me." Mo Beichen said and then closed his mouth, drinking until he got drunk.
When Mo Beichen was sent back to the Grand View Mansion by the driver, he was already staggering.
"Talk about misunderstanding! Come out and explain it clearly to me!" Mo Beichen shouted as soon as he entered the hall, scaring the servants so much that no one dared to show their faces.
Just when Mo Beichen looked around but couldn't find Xia Weilan and was running out of patience, Xia Weilan walked in from the front door.
"Where have you been?" Mo Beichen looked at her with a bad expression. Why was she running out in the middle of the night instead of staying at home?
Xia Weilan had been taking a walk in the garden. When she heard that Mo Beichen had come back, she rushed over immediately. But unexpectedly, she saw Mo Beichen in such a furious state. She couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Xia Weilan smelled the strong smell of alcohol in the room and frowned. "Wake up first and then talk to me."
After saying that, Xia Weilan was about to walk into the kitchen to see if Aunt Tian had finished making the sobering soup.
But as soon as she took a step, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Mo Beichen.
The next second, Mo Beichen seemed to be in a hurry to tear off her clothes. His actions were rough and disorderly.
Soon, Xia Weilan began to struggle. "Wake up."
Xia Weilan's skin was originally thin and delicate. After being pinched roughly by his big hands, it immediately started to ache.
"You dare to reject me?" Mo Beichen looked at Xia Weilan in disbelief and leaned over to bite hard on her half - exposed shoulder.
Mo Beichen felt a taste of blood in his mouth, and Xia Weilan seemed to be frozen. She neither cried out in pain nor moved.
He slowly looked up and found that Xia Weilan was biting her lips tightly, and her face was covered with tears.
At that moment, Mo Beichen sobered up a lot. He stared blankly at her, feeling a bit annoyed and sad. He reached out his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.
But the next second, he was mercilessly pushed away by Xia Weilan.
Mo Beichen's heartache turned into coldness.
He walked upstairs without mercy. Before going upstairs, he told the butler, "From now on, Xia Weilan is not allowed to go out."
Xia Weilan stood there without saying a word.
She knew that just now Mo Beichen had taken advantage of the alcohol to vent his dissatisfaction with her.
Aunt Tian came out of the kitchen with the sobering soup. When she saw Xia Weilan's appearance, she couldn't help but sigh. "How could it come to this?"
"Aunt Tian, you take the sobering soup upstairs first." Xia Weilan sniffed and said firmly.
Aunt Tian felt a bit heart - broken. "Young Mistress."
Aunt Tian sighed and carried the sobering soup upstairs.
Aunt Tian took the soup to the study. She found that Mo Beichen wasn't there, and the door of the guest room was open.
In the middle of the night, Mo Beichen woke up with a splitting headache. In the darkness, he subconsciously called out, "Weilan."
When he found that there was no response, he suddenly turned on the desk lamp and found that he was sleeping in the guest room. Xia Weilan wasn't there at all.
Mo Beichen walked out of the guest room and stood in front of the master bedroom for a while.
When his headache got a bit better, he walked back to the guest room and closed the door.
Heart - rending pain, perhaps this was what it felt like.
That night, Mo Beichen couldn't fall asleep anymore. His thoughts were wandering.
Early the next morning, Xia Weilan came downstairs. Aunt Tian immediately said, "Young Mistress, the old master just called and asked you and the young master to go back to the old house for dinner. The young master has already gone out to prepare the car."
Xia Weilan didn't have time to think much. She walked outside the door and sure enough saw Mo Beichen's car parked there, and he was sitting in the driver's seat.
Xia Weilan opened the door of the passenger seat. At the same time, Mo Beichen's cold voice rang out, "Who allowed you to get in?"
Xia Weilan tightened her hand on the car door and then let go, silently closing the door.
The cold wind was biting outside. In just this short time, her hands had turned red from the cold.
The next second, Mo Beichen's car slowly drove away in front of her.
The driver drove another car and came from behind. "Young Mistress, I'm here to pick you up."
Only then did Xia Weilan get into the car.
The heating in the car was on full blast, but her hands still trembled for a long time before calming down.
"Young Mistress, it's too cold these days. Wait for my call before you come out next time." The driver said politely.
When he drove over, he saw Xia Weilan already standing outside, and the snowflakes had landed on her hair. He was really shocked at that time. How could this be? The young mistress couldn't stand outside waiting for him.
