When it was mealtime, Xia Weilan went upstairs to call the two of them down.
The originally cheerful expression on Lin Yan's face instantly stiffened. He followed Xia Weilan like a child who had done something wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as they sat down, Xia Weilan spoke up, "How long have you been out of school?"
Lin Yan grimaced, knowing he couldn't dodge this. He had no choice but to tell the truth, "Two months."
He originally thought Xia Weilan would scold him for being irresponsible. However, Xia Weilan just nodded calmly and said, "Alright. I'll hire a tutor for you tomorrow. You should catch up on the courses you've missed in these months first. Then I'll send you back to school."
Hearing this, Lin Yan instinctively looked at Mo Beichen. He wasn't really afraid of his sister here. What he truly feared was Mo Beichen, who had been sitting silently beside Xia Weilan.
Mo Beichen nodded slightly and said, "Weilan is right. Studying hard is the most important thing for you at this age. Do you understand?"
Lin Yan immediately nodded like a pounding garlic, "Understood."
His obedient look made Xia Weilan pause for a moment and say, "I didn't expect you to listen to Beichen so much. One of his words is more effective than ten of mine."
"Sis," Lin Yan winked at Xia Weilan and said shyly, "Brother - in - law is such an outstanding person. His words must make sense. Of course, I have to listen. Actually, brother - in - law is my idol."
These words really pleased Mo Beichen. He looked at Lin Yan approvingly, which made Lin Yan a bit nervous.
"Uncle, what's an idol?" Xiao Chun tugged at Lin Yan's corner and always stuck to him.
"An idol is someone you like," Lin Yan replied.
"Then, uncle, I have an idol too," Xiao Chun said, smiling brightly at him.
In the garden, Xia Weilan and Lin Yan came out for a stroll.
Xia Weilan asked Lin Yan about his recent situation. This time, Lin Yan didn't dare to hide it anymore and told her about the difficult times his family had gone through.
"So I wanted to go out and work to earn money. I couldn't study with peace of mind," Lin Yan said bravely.
Xia Weilan felt extremely heart - broken and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Sis, I know you're already married. You don't have to worry about family matters," Lin Yan pouted. In the past, Xia Weilan had often gone out to work for the family. Now, he just couldn't bear to treat Xia Weilan like a servant and take things from her as if it were all natural.
Lin Yan still had a bit of backbone and couldn't do the shameless things his mother did.
This time, Xia Weilan actually agreed with Wei Hongmei's decision to send Lin Yan to her.
The next day, Wei Hongmei got the villa and immediately sold it for a full three million. She then took the money and returned to the shantytown.
"Where did you get the money?" Lin Jiancheng's eyes lit up when he saw the deposit Wei Hongmei took out. He had just lost money in business and owed exactly three million. Without saying a word, he put the card into his pocket.
"Of course, I got it from Weilan," Wei Hongmei said discontentedly, "That unfilial girl only gave me a shabby house."
Thinking about the luxurious house Xia Weilan lived in and the one she gave her, it was like heaven and earth. This three million was like chump change to Xia Weilan.
"Why didn't you ask for more? This money is only enough to pay off the debt," Lin Jiancheng said dissatisfiedly.
"I wanted to, but that dead girl just wouldn't give. What could I do?"
"You're her real mother. You can't do anything? Anyway, you're the mother - in - law of the president of Mo Ying Group. If you ask for some money, you can't get it? If others knew about it, wouldn't it be embarrassing for them?"
Anyway, Wei Hongmei had nothing to lose and wanted to get as much as possible.
"But what if they turn their backs on us? We can't fight against them," Wei Hongmei's smiling face suddenly turned worried.
Lin Jiancheng also felt a pang of fear. If they angered Mo Beichen, they might not only fail to get the money but also suffer.
"I'll think of another way," Lin Jiancheng said in a low voice.
On this day, Mo Beichen was inspecting the mall as usual. Unexpectedly, he was blocked on his way.
Lin Jiancheng looked fierce. He wasn't afraid when he saw Mo Beichen and directly pointed at him and cursed, "You're a big shot. I'm your father - in - law, but you don't even give me alimony. Are you heartless? Can you feel at ease with this?"
Mo Beichen narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Jiancheng coldly.
Several bodyguards immediately rushed forward to block Lin Jiancheng, who was gesturing aggressively.
"What did you say?" Mo Beichen said with a gloomy face, glaring at Lin Jiancheng. This man was seeking death to dare scold him on his territory.
"I said you're heartless and ungrateful. I'm living in such a miserable situation now. It must be your doing. You deliberately made my life hard. You..."
Before Lin Jiancheng could finish his words, Mo Beichen directly ordered, "Beat this man up."
People around were watching the situation. The bodyguards looked at Lin Jiancheng expressionlessly, then started cracking their knuckles and directly attacked Lin Jiancheng.
Lin Jiancheng was really scared this time. He glanced at a corner and immediately ran away with his head in his hands.
But just as he reached the stairway, a crazy woman suddenly rushed out and started punching and kicking the bodyguards randomly, "You bastards, go to hell, go to hell."
Suddenly, there was a change.
The next second, Lin Xuefei was pushed out by a bodyguard. She staggered a few steps and suddenly lost her footing and fell down the stairs.
"Ah." After falling down the dozen - story steps, Lin Xuefei was dizzy. When she finally stopped, she immediately shouted, "It hurts so much. You're killing me."
Lin Xuefei was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. There was a pool of blood on the ground, which was extremely shocking.
Lin Jiancheng narrowed his eyes. If he didn't know the blood was fake, he would have been scared to death. Immediately, he rushed over, pretending to check Lin Xuefei's injury, and shouted loudly, "Mo Beichen is bullying the weak. There's no justice at all. My daughter is already crazy, and now she's been injured like this. How can she live in the future?"
Mo Beichen watched the two of them acting in silence. After Lin Jiancheng created a stir, he sent Lin Xuefei to the hospital.
Lin Jiancheng put Lin Xuefei in the car, and the car drove away.
"Dad, how was my performance?" Lin Xuefei took out the soft cushion on her body as soon as she got in the car.
She had studied this trick for a long time. This time, she only had a slight bruise and was fine.
"You're really my good daughter. You're so smart. Remember, when you're in the hospital, if anyone asks, just say it was Mo Beichen who hurt you. It was so chaotic at that time. Who would know who actually did it? Just keep blaming Mo Beichen. Then you'll have no worries for the rest of your life," Lin Jiancheng said.
"Okay, Dad. I know," Lin Xuefei nodded and looked at the luxurious office building they were passing by. This was the downtown area of Kyoto. Mo Beichen's properties, companies, and various stocks were countless.
Lin Xuefei's eyes lit up. Thinking that all this money would be her mobile treasury in the future, she was extremely excited. At this moment, she felt as if the money was already hers.
Xia Weilan saw the news about Mo Ying Group when school was over.
On the Internet, the news that Lin Xuefei had been pushed down the stairs by Mo Beichen and was seriously injured was everywhere.
For a moment, Xia Weilan felt as if she had eaten a fly when she saw these news.
What on earth were these people up to?
Mo Beichen push Lin Xuefei down the stairs?
Xia Weilan would never believe it.
But what was going on exactly? Xia Weilan was just about to call Mo Beichen to find out the situation when her phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and found that it was Wei Hongmei calling.
Wei Hongmei, who hadn't called her for ages and always came to her with bad news, what on earth was she up to this time?
