When Lin Xuefei wheeled herself out, she only saw Lin Yan's back as he was going upstairs. To her surprise, Xia Weilan was following him.
The sight of them together made Lin Xuefei feel uneasy. She craned her neck and watched as Lin Yan and Xia Weilan entered the study.
Her hands tightened on the wheelchair, the veins popping out. She froze on the spot, not knowing where to go. But after waiting for a while, Xia Weilan still didn't come out. What on earth were they talking about in there? Would Lin Yan say something he shouldn't in a moment of impulse?
These were all the things that Lin Xuefei was worried about and couldn't control.
In the study, Lin Yan had just taken out the books from his schoolbag and was about to start his homework when Xia Weilan came up and sat beside him. "Are you keeping up with the schoolwork?"
"Yeah, I can. And there will be a mid - term exam next week. I'll be able to test my level then." Lin Yan wasn't worried at all. He felt that he not only hadn't regressed but would even improve this time. He was most confident in physics. He believed that he had understood a lot in the physics book and wouldn't fail this time.
"That's good. Then do your homework well." Xia Weilan didn't want to disturb his study anymore. But just as she stood up, Lin Yan suddenly called out to her.
"Sister!" Lin Yan hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Don't spoil Xuefei too much. You know her personality. She'll just go too far."
"I know. And I'm planning to find a doctor to check her foot injury."
Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel nervous for Lin Xuefei. This was the Jinxiu Yuting Mansion, not their own home. Where did Lin Xuefei get the courage to act like a fraud here?
If Mo Beichen found out, would he let her go?
"Sister, what if Xuefei's foot gets better? I mean, what if it's not that serious, what if..." Lin Yan didn't know what he was saying. He just desperately wanted to ask Xia Weilan what would happen if Lin Xuefei was found out faking her injury, so his words were rather muddled.
"Needless to say. If her leg gets better, isn't it great? Since her leg is okay, we can just let her leave." Xia Weilan said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly fell silent. He lowered his head and thought that Lin Xuefei really couldn't keep on lying like this. Now Xia Weilan didn't know she was being deceived, so she could say such things. If she found out, there would surely be a huge rift between Lin Xuefei and Xia Weilan.
After Xia Weilan walked out of the study and gently closed the door for Lin Yan, she was about to go to the playroom to check on Xiaochun. But as soon as she turned around, she saw Lin Xuefei staring straight up at the second floor. Lin Xuefei scrutinized Xia Weilan's expression and found that there was no sign of anger, so she felt relieved. She even gave Xia Weilan a haughty glare before asking the maid to wheel her out.
She took out her phone and called Wei Hongmei, asking her to come and pick her up. Although life in the villa was good, there were so many pairs of eyes watching. It wasn't as comfortable as being with Wei Hongmei. At least when she was out, she didn't have to pretend to be injured sometimes.
Not long after, Wei Hongmei came and picked Lin Xuefei up. When Lin Xuefei came back, it was already midnight. She was carrying big and small bags in her hands and was brought in by the maid with a satisfied look on her face.
Lin Yan had just come out of the study when he saw Lin Xuefei ordering the maids around, acting like an empress dowager.
Lin Yan frowned. He should have gone to rest, but instead, he suddenly walked downstairs and into Lin Xuefei's room.
Lin Xuefei was fiddling with her spoils on the bed. When she saw Lin Yan suddenly come in, she didn't have time to hide the things in her hands, and Lin Yan saw them all.
"Xiaoyan, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Lin Xuefei stopped what she was doing.
Lin Yan sighed and sat down beside Lin Xuefei. "Sister, how long do you plan to stay here?"
Lin Xuefei's face turned pale, and she looked a bit unhappy. "You just can't stand to see me happy for a few days and want to drive me away. Xiaoyan, let me ask you, other than spending a bit of Mo Beichen's money, have I done anything wrong to anyone? Even if I spend a bit of money, Mo Beichen is my brother - in - law after all. He's rich. Would he care about this? Don't think everyone is so stingy. He's not worried, but you, my own brother, always want to drive me away. You know how poor our family is now. Can I live like that?"
Lin Xuefei hugged all her jewelry and stuffed them into the cabinet in one go, in case Lin Yan saw them and said something again.
"Why did you buy so many things? You can't use them all." Lin Yan looked at her disapprovingly.
But Lin Xuefei grabbed Lin Yan's hand and said earnestly, "Xiaoyan, I've said that I'm going to save some money for a rainy day. These things can be sold for money in the future. Our parents need to retire, and you need to go to college. If I don't have a dowry, how can I get married? I have no choice."
Lin Yan felt that the hand grabbed by Lin Xuefei was burning hot. But Lin Xuefei was right about one thing: money was never enough, and life was really difficult without it.
Lin Yan had experienced the hardships of working part - time before.
"Alright." Lin Yan sighed. "You've got enough if you want to save money. But you'd better find a way to make your foot better quickly. Otherwise, a doctor may come to check on you in a few days. By then, don't get driven out without getting anything."
"What doctor?" Lin Xuefei became nervous. Why would they suddenly find a doctor? "Whose idea was this?"
Lin Xuefei was a bit agitated, as if her interests had been taken away.
"It was Second Sister's idea to find someone to treat your illness." Lin Yan explained.
"It's her!" Lin Xuefei looked at Lin Yan suspiciously. They had all lived in harmony for a few days. But as soon as Lin Yan came back, after Xia Weilan talked to Lin Yan for a few words, she wanted to find a doctor to check on her. Was this Xia Weilan's idea or was Lin Yan trying to force her out? Since childhood, Lin Yan had always sided with Xia Weilan and targeted her. It was still the same now. Why was this younger brother always taking sides with outsiders?
"Sister, you'd better know when to stop. Otherwise, if you're found out, the consequences will be very serious. You might even go to jail." Lin Yan wanted to scare Lin Xuefei into stopping earlier.
Hearing this, Lin Xuefei was completely disappointed. Her eyes dimmed. She turned her head away and closed her eyes tightly before saying, "Okay, I know. I'll move out soon."
Only then was Lin Yan satisfied. "Sister, it's good for everyone if you can stop in time. You've finally seen the light."
As Lin Yan said this, he stood up. But Lin Xuefei spoke again. "Xiaoyan, remember to take the calcium tablets I bought for you. They're good for your body. I bought them specially for you. Don't waste them."
"Okay, I'll go and rest first."
Lin Yan went back to his room. Seeing the calcium tablets on the table, he took one and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Xia Weilan came to knock on Lin Yan's door, but there was no response. When she went in, she found Lin Yan sleeping like a log.
"Lin Yan, why are you still sleeping? Everyone is waiting for you to have breakfast. Get up quickly." Xia Weilan pushed him helplessly. Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes, looking extremely tired.
"Why are you so tired? Did you study late last night?" Xia Weilan asked with concern.
"Until midnight." Lin Yan reached out and rubbed his forehead before slowly walking into the bathroom to wash up.
During breakfast, Lin Yan had no appetite and looked half - asleep.
"Do you want to go and see a doctor? Why do you look so pale!" Xia Weilan looked at Lin Yan several times, full of worry.
"No, I might have caught a cold last night. Taking some cold medicine will be fine." Lin Yan drank a few more sips of water to get rid of the dryness in his mouth.
