Mo Beichen had received a report from the butler before. It said that the master and the mistress had gone to the villa but were angered away by Lin Xuefei. Moreover, they even encountered Wei Hongmei making a scene at the door.
So Mo Beichen told them about Xia Weilan's hardships since childhood. "Mom, Dad, Lin Xuefei lives in the villa because of me. It has nothing to do with Weilan. Besides, her mother has been treating her badly since she was a child, but it's not Weilan's fault."
Lin Yuyan blinked her eyes. "But I heard that it was Xia Weilan who killed her younger brother."
"That's sheer nonsense. If she really killed someone, she would have been arrested long ago. Wei Hongmei can't accept the fact that she lost her beloved son, so she's just speaking recklessly. This is simply a misunderstanding."
With Mo Beichen's repeated assurances, Lin Yuyan and Mo Guxuan suppressed some of their dissatisfaction. However, Lin Yuyan still thought that Xia Weilan was unworthy of being her daughter - in - law.
"Mom, did you see Weilan that day?" Mo Beichen suddenly asked.
"No." Lin Yuyan shook her head. In that situation that day, she had no mood to see Xia Weilan at all.
"That's right. You haven't even met her but you already have an aversion to her. This is a preconceived prejudice. Actually, Weilan is a very nice person. You'll surely like her when you meet her." Mo Beichen led Lin Yuyan step by step, making her understand that it was unfair for her to treat Xia Weilan like this.
Hearing this, the two always - elegant people were both stunned for a moment. They thought Mo Beichen was right. It was really unreasonable to condemn their daughter - in - law without even meeting her.
"Beichen, how about you bring Weilan to meet us after the funeral?" Mo Guxuan slapped his thigh and made a decision.
Mo Beichen naturally nodded in agreement. Then the three of them had a pleasant meal together. During the meal, Mo Beichen didn't say much more. He thought that what really mattered was still Xia Weilan's own performance.
Just after Mo Beichen finished his meal, he received a call from Lin Jiancheng.
Lin Jiancheng asked for compensation.
Without hesitation, Mo Beichen rushed over. He directly gave Lin Jiancheng the amount he wanted and signed a written agreement with him. From then on, Lin Jiancheng couldn't trouble Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan because of Lin Yan's matter anymore.
After Lin Jiancheng signed the agreement, he immediately got a bank card.
Holding the gilded card, Lin Jiancheng kept thinking about Lin Yan's figure on his way back.
He felt that the card in his hand was so hot.
This was bought with his son's life. His precious son was gone just like that.
But finally, Lin Jiancheng gritted his teeth. His son was important, but he was already gone. He was very sad too. However, he still had to live on. He still had a daughter. In the future, Lin Xuefei would surely be filial to him.
In the future, only Lin Xuefei could provide for his old age. Thinking of Lin Xuefei, Lin Jiancheng felt a bit more at ease. Now Lin Xuefei had been making money for the family. She was so smart that she would surely achieve great things and make a lot of money in the future.
In the future, they could find a son - in - law who would move into their family. A daughter could be just like a son.

Xu Wei came up to Mo Beichen and told him the latest investigation results.
"President, there is really something wrong with this medicine, and it was given by Lin Xuefei. Should we hand it over to the police?" Xu Wei respectfully placed the drug test results on Mo Beichen's desk.
Mo Beichen's fingers tapped on the desktop. His eyes swept over the words, with an unfathomable expression.
Even he was a bit surprised. Lin Xuefei actually poisoned Lin Yan.
Then, was Lin Yan's death also deliberately caused by Lin Xuefei?
"President?" Xu Wei reminded him again. After all, the atmosphere was really too strange at the moment. The temperature around had dropped a lot. What was the president's plan? How was he going to deal with Lin Xuefei?
"If we want to handle it privately, we're also ready." Not knowing what Mo Beichen was thinking, Xu Wei had to put forward another plan. "We'll surely make Lin Xuefei live a life worse than death."
But Mo Beichen suddenly looked up at Xu Wei. "Secretary Xu, this is a civilized society now."
Xu Wei almost bit his own tongue. In the past, when President Mo punished people, he never cared about anything. Why had he become so gentle now? Could it be that he had been influenced by Xia Weilan and become kind - hearted?
"Then?" Xu Wei had to ask again.
"Don't let Weilan know about this for the time being. I'll find a way to make Lin Xuefei confess on her own."
Make Lin Xuefei confess on her own? It was impossible. Xu Wei looked at their president in disbelief.
The president was too confident. Who would admit to killing someone? Especially someone as cunning as Lin Xuefei. She would surely never admit it even if the evidence was conclusive.
This woman was too cunning.
The next day, Lin Xuefei didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, her head was groggy and it was pitch - black around. After gradually getting used to the surrounding environment, she found that she was actually in front of Lin Yan's mourning hall. She was sitting in a wheelchair and holding a pile of paper money in her hand.
"Ah!" Lin Xuefei was so scared that she dropped the paper money. She couldn't tell whether she was dreaming or it was reality. This situation was really too strange.
It was just midnight. The candles in the mourning hall were flickering on and off, and it was extremely eerie all around.
Just when Lin Xuefei was extremely terrified, the whole ground began to shake violently. Even the chairs around fell to the ground, but only the table in the mourning hall still stood there steadily without moving.
"Ah, there's a ghost!" Lin Xuefei's wheelchair was shaking back and forth in the room. At this moment, Lin Xuefei only had one thought, that was, she had really encountered a ghost.
"Lin Yan, don't come to me. Don't come near." Lin Xuefei shouted like a madwoman and was so scared that her legs went weak.
But the shaking around was so strong. The next second, Lin Xuefei begged with a pale face. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have harmed you. I shouldn't have given you the medicine. I shouldn't have pushed you downstairs. Please spare me. I'll burn money for you."
Lin Xuefei's words made the surroundings quiet down. Even the vibration gradually subsided.
Lin Xuefei didn't care about anything else. She directly got off the wheelchair, ran forward, took out a lighter. The fire illuminated her pale face.
While burning the paper money, Lin Xuefei looked at Lin Yan's memorial tablet. She really couldn't hold on anymore. After lighting the paper money, she ran out. "Don't come to me. Don't come to me."
And all this was clearly seen by several people in the monitoring room.
Mo Beichen remained silent, while Wei Hongmei and Lin Jiancheng were stunned.
Wei Hongmei thought she had misheard. She grabbed Lin Jiancheng's hand and asked. "Jiancheng, did Xuefei just say that she pushed Lin Yan?"
Lin Jiancheng didn't say a word. He looked at Mo Beichen. "Mr. Mo, what are you going to do to Xuefei?"
After Lin Xuefei got out of the room, she was surrounded by the police. She thought she was still dreaming. Why was it the mourning hall in the villa inside, but it was a completely different world just a few steps outside.
"What on earth is going on?" Lin Xuefei murmured to herself.
"This is an earthquake drill room." The police took out the handcuffs and directly cuffed Lin Xuefei.
Reacting, Lin Xuefei immediately shouted. "You've made a mistake. What I just said was all in my dream. I didn't kill anyone."
But the evidence was conclusive. How could the police listen to her?
At this time, the people in the monitoring room also came out. They saw Lin Xuefei shouting and acting like a madwoman.
When Wei Hongmei saw Lin Xuefei, her eyes turned red. She questioned her. "Why did you harm Yan'er? Why did you do this?"
"Wei Hongmei, you're crazy. What are you talking about?" Lin Xuefei still refused to admit it. She immediately looked at Lin Jiancheng for help. "Dad, please save me quickly. I'm wronged. I'm your only flesh and blood."
But Lin Jiancheng had no ability to save her. Before, Mo Beichen had let Lin Xuefei act willfully because he thought her leg was injured and she was disabled. Now that Mo Beichen wanted to arrest someone, how could Lin Jiancheng have the ability to save her?
