"It's like this, madam. The younger brother of the young mistress used to live here. The situation was rather special, and it was also here that he had an accident. He accidentally fell down the stairs. So, the funeral arrangements were made right here."
"You mean her younger brother used to live here?" Lin Yuyan asked in surprise.
"Alright. It seems we're not meant to meet our daughter - in - law today. She must be heartbroken and surely has no energy to see us. Butler, you don't need to inform her. Just act as if we've never been here today." Mo Guxuan ordered.
"Yes." The butler nodded.
But before they could leave the hall, the sound of a wheelchair turning came from behind. Lin Xuefei was leisurely coming out of the room after a good sleep. Seeing two strangers in the hall, she couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"And who are you?" Lin Yuyan looked nervously at Lin Xuefei sitting in the wheelchair. Could this person be her daughter - in - law? Was her daughter - in - law actually disabled?
Lin Yuyan felt as if her heart had been hit hard once again.
Seeing Lin Yuyan's shocked expression, the butler quickly explained, "Madam, this is the elder sister of the young mistress. She also lives here."
Lin Yuyan couldn't help but frown. How had Mo Beichen's residence become a shelter? There was a funeral being held, and a disabled person was being taken in. Lin Yuyan's upbringing stopped her from saying anything. But Lin Xuefei, after hearing the butler's introduction, felt underestimated. She shouted at the top of her voice, "I was perfectly healthy originally. It was Mo Beichen who pushed me downstairs that I became disabled. Of course, I have to live here."
Hearing Lin Xuefei's confrontational words, Lin Yuyan couldn't help but turn pale.
What did this woman mean? Was she trying to show off to her?
"Husband, let's go. Butler, tell Chen that I want him to come and see me when he's free." This time, Lin Yuyan didn't mention wanting to see Xia Weilan.
After saying that, she and Mo Guxuan returned the way they came.
Along the way, they could still see the white lanterns hanging on one side. The whole mansion seemed gloomy.
In the car, Lin Yuyan frowned and said, "It's so chaotic here."
"Yuyan, you're a mother - in - law after all. From what we heard just now, it seems that none of this is our daughter - in - law's fault. There must be reasons. Let's wait until we see Chen and ask him clearly."
Only then did Lin Yuyan's expression ease.
She was a bit disappointed in her daughter - in - law.
As for Lin Xuefei, seeing Mo Beichen's parents leave abruptly, she smiled.
Thinking of Xia Weilan still kneeling in the mourning hall at this moment, Lin Xuefei felt like laughing. Now that Mo Beichen's parents were unhappy, she wanted to see how many more happy days Xia Weilan could have.
"Let's go. I need some fresh air." Lin Xuefei ordered the maid.
No one expected that just as Lin Yuyan's car reached the gate, it was suddenly blocked by a woman.
Wei Hongmei was about to go in. Before she could say anything, she saw the car driving out. She immediately blocked it.
She banged on the car window frantically, looking like a madwoman.
The security guards immediately pulled Wei Hongmei away, but she refused to give up and kept scolding, "Xia Weilan, get out of the car. You killed someone and now you want to escape. Get out. I'll beat you to death."
Lin Yuyan and Mo Guxuan in the car looked at each other. Lin Yuyan rolled down the window, and a noble face appeared in the window.
Wei Hongmei was stunned for a moment. Then, realizing what was going on, she murmured, "It's not Xia Weilan, but it must be a relative of the Mo family."
Wei Hongmei widened her eyes again and shouted at the two people in the car, who were dressed in low - key luxury, "Let me tell you, don't be deceived by this family. They're all heartless. None of them are good..."
Wei Hongmei kept slandering. Seeing Lin Yuyan's face turn black, she felt much better.
"Driver, drive." Lin Yuyan couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the driver.
"Husband, you still told me to be understanding. Can you still say that now? Look at what that woman said. Listen, she's Xia Weilan's own mother, and she said her daughter killed her son. What kind of things are these? I can't tolerate such a daughter - in - law."
Mo Guxuan also looked ugly. What was going on with this family? They had heard before that Xia Weilan was the eldest daughter of the Xia family. They had thought that since she came from a scholarly family, her character couldn't be that bad. But now...
"Let's meet our son first." Mo Guxuan sighed.
If his daughter - in - law was really that bad, he would definitely make them get divorced.
At the gate of the villa, Lin Xuefei personally led Wei Hongmei in. Along the way, Lin Xuefei kept doing ideological work on Wei Hongmei, "Mom, don't keep calling her a murderer. Xia Yan really fell accidentally. It has nothing to do with Xia Weilan. But in the current situation, the most important thing is to get some compensation from her..."
Along the way, Lin Xuefei kept brainwashing Wei Hongmei. Wei Hongmei had originally been angry that Xia Weilan had caused Xia Yan's death. But now, after hearing Lin Xuefei say that Xia Yan's death was an accident, she couldn't help but believe it.
"Even if it was an accident, it was still Xia Weilan's fault for not taking good care of him!" Wei Hongmei snorted.
Soon, the two of them came to the place where Xia Yan's ashes were placed.
In front of the mourning hall, Xia Weilan was kneeling there silently.
When Wei Hongmei saw this, her eyes turned red. She walked over and knelt beside Xia Weilan, crying non - stop.
The paper money in Xia Weilan's hand was snatched away by Wei Hongmei the next second. As she burned it, she murmured, "My Yan'er, why did you leave mom first?"
Xia Weilan silently watched Wei Hongmei without saying a word.
After Lin Xuefei had comforted Wei Hongmei, she winked at her. Only then did Wei Hongmei remember about the compensation.
Wei Hongmei took the money and then left.
When Wei Hongmei returned to her residence, Lin Jiancheng was sitting there with a gloomy face.
"How did it go?" Lin Jiancheng asked.
Wei Hongmei handed over the bank card in her hand, "Fifty million. Take it."
Her son was dead, but Lin Jiancheng had been telling her to get the compensation. He was just like Lin Xuefei. Father and daughter were really the same.
Thinking of this, Wei Hongmei felt a bit cold - hearted.
"Fifty million? Are they kidding me? How could you be so easily satisfied?" Lin Jiancheng was furious. That was his precious son. He should be worth at least a hundred million.
"Yan'er fell accidentally. I know all about it. Isn't this money enough?" Wei Hongmei was also angry with Lin Jiancheng. If it weren't for Lin Jiancheng's incompetence and squandering, she wouldn't have sent Xia Yan to the Mo mansion, and this accident wouldn't have happened.
"I don't care if it was a real accident or a fake one. Anyway, the Mo family owes us. A person died in their mansion. Do they think this can just get rid of me?"
Wei Hongmei felt exhausted. She didn't care what Lin Jiancheng wanted to do. She went back to her room and fell asleep with her head buried.
On the other side, Lin Yuyan and Mo Guxuan finally waited for their precious son.
"Son, come. Mom has made your favorite food. Try mom's cooking quickly." As soon as Lin Yuyan saw Mo Beichen, her voice immediately softened. It was rare for him to come home. Finally, the family was reunited.
Mo Guxuan also rarely showed a smile and put away his usual seriousness when doing archaeology, "Beichen, tell us quickly what kind of person Weilan is. Your mom is dying of curiosity."
Mo Beichen thought for a moment and then said seriously, "Weilan is a very gentle girl. She's also independent and always has her own ideas. Most importantly, she has a kind heart and always knows her boundaries..."
As soon as Mo Beichen started talking about Xia Weilan, a glint flashed in his eyes. He was like a young man in love, praising her without taking a breath.
Mo Beichen also talked about how Xia Weilan had revitalized the Xia family. He said she was a very talented person and had designed many jewels.
Mo Guxuan and Lin Yuyan looked at each other. Lin Yuyan said puzzledly, "The person you described seems different from what we saw that day."
