Mo Beichen had truly calmed down at this moment. The photos must have been a provocation from Liu Yinyin, and the text message was also a lie. If Xia Weilan didn't send the text message, it was even less likely that she had hugged Ouyang Mingqi. There must be a reason. It must be Ouyang Mingqi who had been pestering his wife.
How could he not have understood such an obvious truth before?
Mo Beichen looked at Liu Yinyin remorsefully.
"Liu Yinyin, do you still want to slander others at this point? Do you think we're all blind?" Mo Beichen said in a deep voice.
Liu Yinyin shut her mouth and didn't dare to say another word.
What should she do now?
Would the old master and Mo Beichen tear her apart?
"Grandpa." Xia Weilan's cold voice was tinged with exhaustion. "Grandpa, I just remembered that I've always felt like someone has been following me for the past three months. Maybe it was Liu Yinyin's people. And these days, because of the damage to my reputation and my inability to defend myself, I haven't been able to eat. Grandpa, please give me justice!"
Hearing Xia Weilan say that she hadn't been able to eat, Mo Beichen was stunned for several seconds. He remembered what he had done to Xia Weilan last night and had even made her cry.
Thinking of this, he wanted to immediately hold Xia Weilan in his arms.
Old Master Mo said nothing. He just took out his phone and made a call. "Come to me right now."
Liu Yinyin knew that Old Master Mo was calling Mo Donglin. She was a little scared and didn't know how the old master would deal with her. At this moment, she wished she could strangle Xia Weilan. It was Xia Weilan who had got her into this mess.
But the next second, Liu Yinyin whispered to Xia Weilan, "Weilan, I'm sorry. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"Grandpa!" Xia Weilan called out softly.
Hearing this, Old Master Mo's face darkened. He said to Liu Yinyin, "The punishment is a must."
"Grandpa, what punishment? What mistake did Yinyin make?" Mo Donglin rushed in.
"Just in time. Do you know that your wife framed Weilan?" Old Master Mo demanded.
Mo Donglin glanced at the guilty - looking Liu Yinyin. Remembering that he had seen Liu Yinyin following Xia Weilan before, he understood that Liu Yinyin must have done something wrong to Xia Weilan.
"Grandpa, Yinyin was just confused for a moment. It's my fault for neglecting to discipline her. I'm wrong." Mo Donglin didn't defend her and his attitude was very sincere.
"Weilan, no matter what Yinyin did wrong to you, I'll apologize to you on her behalf." Mo Donglin knew that at this moment, Xia Weilan had the most say. He immediately bowed to Xia Weilan and maintained the posture, not daring to get up.
Xia Weilan paused for a moment but didn't help him up. She just looked at Mo Beichen resentfully. "Donglin, I had a big fight with Mo Beichen. This is not a trivial matter."
Old Master Mo thought of Mo Beichen's coldness before and felt extremely sorry for Xia Weilan. He immediately said, "From now on, Liu Yinyin will kneel in the ancestral hall for a week. She's not allowed to come out without my order. Donglin, you go and supervise her personally. You should also reflect on your failure to discipline your wife properly."
"Yes." Without saying a word, Mo Donglin dragged Liu Yinyin to the ancestral hall.
"Weilan, are you satisfied with this result?" Old Master Mo sighed and said to Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan knew that although Old Master Mo doted on her, Mo Donglin was also his grandson. It was impossible for him not to care about Mo Donglin, but not as much as he doted on Mo Beichen. It was unrealistic to ask the old master to punish Liu Yinyin more severely. So she nodded.
At this point, Mo Beichen knew that he had made a big mistake.
Mo Beichen walked up to Xia Weilan with heavy steps and formally lowered his head. "Weilan, I'm sorry. I misjudged you."
Xia Weilan was still angry and didn't want to forgive him so easily. "You know you were wrong? Does an apology mean anything?"
Mo Beichen wasn't annoyed either. He looked at Xia Weilan and said, "I'll make it up to you until you calm down."
Xia Weilan turned her head away and instead said gratefully to Old Master Mo, "Grandpa, thank you. In the end, you're the one who trusts me the most."
This sentence was meant for Mo Beichen.
Old Master Mo understood it too. He pulled Xia Weilan into the dining room, ignoring Mo Beichen. He said kindly to Xia Weilan, "Girl, since you're on vacation this time, do you want to come to the group for an internship? Grandpa will arrange it for you."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa." Xia Weilan said sincerely.
Mo Beichen followed them in. He laughed at himself in his heart. It served him right for not believing Xia Weilan before.
In the Mo family's ancestral hall, Liu Yinyin was kneeling in front of the shrine, while Mo Donglin stood beside her with a gloomy face.
"Why did you frame Xia Weilan?" Mo Donglin asked puzzledly.
Liu Yinyin looked sad and shed tears before she even spoke.
Mo Donglin's hard - heartedness immediately softened, but he still looked at Liu Yinyin coldly. This time, Liu Yinyin had gone too far.
Liu Yinyin cried for a few times. Seeing no reaction, she stopped crying and gently explained, "Donglin, don't you understand why? Xia Weilan's design ability is so outstanding. She will definitely return to the Xia family to take control of the company in the future. Then Mo Beichen will have a capable assistant. What say will you have in the company then?"
"I'm willing to do anything for my love for you, but I don't think I'm wrong. If there's a mistake, it's that I left a handle, which has now implicated you."
In the quiet ancestral hall, the soft female voice was like spring water, easily surrounding Mo Donglin's heart.
Seeing Mo Donglin's softening expression, Liu Yinyin continued, "If I hadn't been discovered, Mo Beichen and the others would be at odds now. Grandpa will definitely protect Xia Weilan for the sake of the old friendship with Mr. Xia. Then he will have a rift with Mo Beichen. At that time, Grandpa will notice you, Donglin. I feel sorry for you."
"Stop talking." Mo Donglin felt uncomfortable. "Don't do such stupid things again."
Mo Donglin didn't have any anger left. He felt pity for her in his heart and didn't blame her at all.
Liu Yinyin laughed to herself. Mo Donglin was so easily deceived.
When they got married, Mo Donglin was still a young and inexperienced man. After being coaxed by her sweet words, he married her and helped her family through a difficult time.
Now, Mo Donglin was still as easily deceived.
Liu Yinyin lowered her head. She looked like she was disappointed, but in fact, she was full of jealousy and hatred.
She had been tricked by Xia Weilan today, which really caught her off guard.
Next time, she must plan more carefully and she would definitely succeed.
Liu Yinyin thought that she must never let Mo Donglin know the real reason why she was targeting Xia Weilan. If Mo Donglin knew that she had always loved Mo Beichen, even his good temper would explode.
Mo Donglin couldn't see Liu Yinyin's expression. Seeing that Liu Yinyin was kneeling uncomfortably, he immediately walked out, found a very soft cushion and gave it to Liu Yinyin.
"Yinyin, here. It won't hurt with this."
Thinking that Liu Yinyin would have to kneel like this for another week, Mo Donglin felt extremely heart - broken and even more self - blaming.
Liu Yinyin was implicated because of him. It was his fault that he was useless and made her always fight for him.
