"Mom, Wei Lan has really had bad luck. She's encountered every kind of misfortune. Take the Lin family she was in before. It's completely ruined now. And after she returned to the Xia family, everyone either died or got injured. I'm really worried about her," Liu Yinyin stopped just short of directly saying that Xia Wei Lan was a jinx.
But there was no need for Liu Yinyin to say it. Lin Yuyan automatically came to this conclusion. At this moment, she had no mood to eat. She put down her chopsticks right away. "Yinyin, I'm not going shopping with you today. I have a headache."
"It's okay, Mom. You should rest more. I'll come to see you next time." Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Liu Yinyin didn't stay any longer. She walked out briskly. Even her steps seemed to be floating. She hummed a tune silently in her heart. The sun is so bright today. Hehe.
Lin Yuyan rubbed the space between her eyebrows. In her mind, she recalled the scene when she had just gone to the Splendid Royal Court a few days ago. The villa was extremely strange at that time. There was either a funeral or a disabled person, and there was also a debt - collecting mother.
The more she thought about it, the creepier it felt.
Would the Mo family also be affected by Xia Wei Lan in the future and have some bad luck?
Lin Yuyan thought for a while and dialed the phone to the Splendid Royal Court. The butler answered the call. He thought Lin Yuyan had something to talk to Mo Beichen about and asked in surprise, "Madam, do you have any instructions?"
"Butler, tell me the truth. Was Beichen injured and hospitalized a few days ago? Please tell me everything clearly."
Listening to the butler's description, Lin Yuyan's face turned darker and darker. It turned out that Mo Beichen had such a big accident, but they all conspired to hide it from her, his mother!
Mo Beichen used to be such a sensible person. Why did he start hiding things from her when it came to Xia Wei Lan? Was it because of Xia Wei Lan's influence on him?
Lin Yuyan felt a little scared. After hanging up the phone, she sat there silently.
When Liu Yinyin got home, she was stopped by Mo Donglin in the hall. "Where have you been?"
These days, Liu Yinyin had been going out early and coming back late, and she was reluctant to talk to Mo Donglin. This made Mo Donglin very angry.
"Do you have to control where I go? You'd better take care of yourself." Liu Yinyin looked at Mo Donglin with disgust, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes was very obvious.
Mo Donglin felt as if he had been stabbed. "Yinyin, can you stop talking to me like this? I..."
"Humph," Liu Yinyin said coldly. "You'd better think about your future. You're idle all day long. Do you expect me to treat you like a master?"
Mo Donglin fell silent. He watched Liu Yinyin go upstairs, leaving him a cold back.
In the past, Liu Yinyin could still pretend to praise him for being promising. Now that Mo Donglin had been fired, Liu Yinyin simply stopped pretending and always showed her disgust on her face. How could Mo Donglin, who had always been very proud, bear this?
Two days later, at the family dinner.
The Mo family's old house was extremely lively. It was rare that all the family members were present.
The old master was very happy. He immediately announced his decision. "Now that everyone is here, I'd like to announce this happy event. Beichen and Wei Lan's wedding will be held in ten days."
"What? Isn't this too hasty? How about waiting until Wei Lan graduates?" Lin Yuyan suddenly looked up, changing her previous kind - hearted look.
"Wife, what's wrong with you? Our son has already got the marriage certificate. The wedding ceremony should have been held long ago." Mo Guxuan didn't know Lin Yuyan's concerns. Instead, he said to Xia Wei Lan, "Wei Lan, come here. This is a small gift I bought for you outside. I don't know what you like, so I just bought a small porcelain item."
Xia Wei Lan immediately reached out her two hands respectfully to take it and carefully put it away.
Liu Yinyin watched this scene. She tightened her grip on her bag. Why was Lin Yuyan so useless? How could she let the old master set the wedding date like this?
Mo Donglin sat there without attracting any attention. He didn't say a word, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Yinyin's little action. He couldn't help but suddenly say to the old master, "Grandpa, I'll help my second brother prepare for this wedding."
"Okay, but you should be more careful." The old master was a little disappointed in Mo Donglin. There was a warning in his tone, telling him not to mess things up.
"Don't worry, Grandpa." Mo Donglin was eager to show himself. This time, he would definitely work hard to let Grandpa see his goodness.
When everyone moved to the side hall for dinner, Liu Yinyin was the last one. She glanced at Xia Wei Lan's gift bag. As she passed by, she couldn't help but reach out and press hard on the gift bag. There was a dull sound from inside. Only then did Liu Yinyin raise her head contentedly and follow up.
At the dinner table, the old master sat at the head of the table. Mo Guxuan and his wife sat on the left of the old master, and Mo Beichen and his wife sat on the right. Mo Donglin sat in a remote position.
Liu Yinyin sat silently beside Mo Donglin, feeling very uncomfortable.
This was too much. It was all Mo Donglin's fault for being useless, making her lose face too.
"Wei Lan, what gift did Dad give you? Why don't you take it out and let's have a look? I'm really curious," Liu Yinyin raised her phoenix - like eyes and looked at Xia Wei Lan.
"Yeah, what is it? Actually, I also want to know," the old master said.
So Xia Wei Lan retrieved the gift again and opened it in front of everyone. Her smiling face changed when she heard the rattling sound in the bag. She remembered that it didn't feel like this before.
When she opened the bag and looked inside, she saw that the porcelain inside was broken. It was a very delicate handicraft. One could tell that it was exquisitely made, but it was broken. Broken. Why was it broken?
Mo Beichen was sitting beside Xia Wei Lan. He also saw the situation inside and couldn't help but say, "I think we'd better not look at it. Let's have dinner first."
"We've already brought it here. Why not look at it? Let me have a look." Liu Yinyin directly reached out and snatched the bag from Xia Wei Lan. She looked down and let out a cry of surprise. Then she covered her mouth and quickly returned the bag to Xia Wei Lan, saying, "Let's not look at it."
But the old master was also curious and asked Xia Wei Lan, "What is it?"
Just then, unexpectedly, Mo Beichen took the bag. Suddenly, he let go of his hand, and it accidentally fell to the ground, making a dull sound. Everyone was shocked, and Xia Wei Lan also looked at Mo Beichen in surprise.
"Oops!" Mo Beichen picked up the bag and said regretfully, "Wei Lan, don't worry. I'll find someone to glue it back together."
Liu Yinyin was so angry that she stared with wide eyes. Others might not know, but she did. Mo Beichen did it on purpose. He was deliberately trying to help Xia Wei Lan out.
Xia Wei Lan felt Mo Beichen gently pat her hand, as if to comfort her. They looked into each other's eyes, and both their eyes were soft.
"Cough, cough. Let's have dinner," the old master said awkwardly.
After dinner, taking advantage of the moment when there was no one around, Liu Yinyin continued to instigate Lin Yuyan. "Mom, don't you also think this wedding is being arranged too early? I always feel that Xia Wei Lan is strange. How could the porcelain Dad bought break before we even had a chance to look at it? It's so mysterious."
Lin Yuyan didn't care at first. But after hearing what Liu Yinyin said, she felt goosebumps all over. "This... this might be an accident."
"Yeah, I also hope it's an accident. It's just too much of a coincidence," Liu Yinyin sighed heavily and made a strange face.
Lin Yuyan turned around and looked at Xia Wei Lan, who was sitting with Mo Beichen. She felt a cold wind blowing. Could Xia Wei Lan really be a jinx?
Mo Beichen used to be so steady. Why did he drop that porcelain as soon as he was with Xia Wei Lan?
Soon, the news that Mo Beichen and Xia Wei Lan were about to get married spread throughout the capital.
Mo Beichen directly announced this happy event on the official website of Mo Ying Group. Moreover, the style of the entire official website of Mo Ying Group, which had always been low - key, was completely changed to a bright red color with big happy characters. Everyone who entered the website could see it at a glance.
The official website of Xia Group was no exception. It also announced in a high - profile way that its chairman was about to marry the chairman of Mo Ying Group in the same style.
Since the happy news was announced, Mo Beichen had been extremely busy.
One day, Mo Beichen still didn't come back very late.
Xia Wei Lan couldn't help but call Assistant Xu Wei. Only then did she learn that Mo Beichen was personally discussing the wedding venue plan with the designer.
Xia Wei Lan learned that Mo Beichen hadn't had dinner even at 8 o'clock. She rushed there immediately.
"Why are you here?" Mo Beichen had just finalized the design draft with the designer. He looked up and just saw Xia Wei Lan's plain face.
