The butler looked at Liu Yinyin's innocent face and immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He glanced at Grandpa Mo and thought to himself that since the young mistress refused to admit it, he had to keep asking.
"Then I'll be straight. Did you tamper with the car?"
As his voice fell, the whole room fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for Liu Yinyin's answer. She also widened her eyes, startled by the butler's sudden questioning. But suddenly she took a step forward, impatiently glaring at the butler in a very unfriendly manner. "What... What do you mean? Do you think I would do such a thing? Show me your evidence if you have any. I didn't do it. Don't interrogate me like a criminal. You're overstepping your place!"
Liu Yinyin's furious look made Grandpa Mo cough heavily in anger. He said in a deep voice, "You still won't admit it, huh!"
When Mo Beichen showed him the evidence just now, Grandpa Mo was extremely angry. What Liu Yinyin had done was illegal and she could go to jail.
Liu Yinyin's eyes flickered. She looked at Grandpa Mo's enraged face, feeling suspicious. Just then, the butler took out a video recording and said in an unfriendly tone, "Young Mistress, take a look for yourself. The evidence is conclusive. If the police got hold of this, you'd be sentenced to several years in prison. And Miss Feiyan is lying in the hospital now, seriously injured. She said that if you don't go and kowtow to her, she'll hand this video over to the police."
"Boom!" Liu Yinyin snatched the video directly. The more she watched, the angrier she got. She suddenly looked up at Grandpa Mo and said, "Grandpa, she's threatening our Mo family and our family's reputation. It was my fault in this matter, but I don't care. The Mo family's dignity is important. If I go and kowtow to her, how can the Mo family still hold their heads up in the capital?"
"Grandpa, I punished the mistress to protect the Mo family and for Wei Lan's sake. I've had good intentions all along." Liu Yinyin immediately put on a weak and pitiful look.
Disgust flashed in the eyes of the butler and Mo Beichen present, but Grandpa Mo was a bit shaken. It wasn't for any other reason but that Liu Yinyin was the granddaughter - in - law of the Mo family.
When Liu Yinyin saw Grandpa Mo's expression and was about to press on, unexpectedly, a cold voice came from the door. "You did it for the Mo family? Did the Mo family ask you to kill and set fire? And you said you did it for me. Should I be grateful to you for hurting others?"
Liu Yinyin was so stimulated by these words that she looked up. She saw Xia Weilan walking slowly towards them in a loose - fitting dress. Originally, Liu Yinyin didn't plan to target Xia Weilan, but she didn't expect Xia Weilan to say such things.
"Wei Lan, how can you talk to me like this? If I wasn't doing it for the Mo family and for you, would I have done such a thing? It's thankless!" Liu Yinyin glared at her hatefully.
Compared with Liu Yinyin's anger, when Grandpa Mo saw Xia Weilan appear, he immediately stood up from his chair, looking a bit guilty. "Wei Lan, you've finally come."
In the past 15 days, Xia Weilan had separated from Mo Beichen and even stopped coming to the mansion for meals. At this moment, when Grandpa Mo remembered that Mo Beichen had brought Feiyan into the mansion openly a few days ago, he felt that Xia Weilan was really pitiful.
Xia Weilan pursed her lips. Looking at Grandpa Mo's caring face, she silently walked to his side and softly called, "Grandpa."
This single call made Grandpa Mo's heart ache. He then glared at Mo Beichen.
"Grandpa, I want to tell you something." Xia Weilan helped Grandpa Mo sit down again. Suddenly, she looked at Liu Yinyin. "I was given an abortifacient in the hospital before, and the person who gave me the medicine was Liu Yinyin."
When Xia Weilan finished speaking, she clearly felt Grandpa Mo's body tremble. But she could only continue, "Grandpa, take a look at this."
Before Liu Yinyin could come up with any countermeasures, she saw Grandpa Mo looking at the materials, getting angrier and angrier.
It was the proof that Liu Yinyin had bought the abortifacient before.
Moreover, at this moment, a maid suddenly stood up and said that when she was preparing dinner that day, only Liu Yinyin had been to the kitchen.
Liu Yinyin opened her mouth, originally wanting to explain, but seeing Grandpa Mo's murderous look, she didn't dare to say a word.
"Damn it!" Liu Yinyin only felt the ashtray that Grandpa Mo had thrown at her with great force hit her hand heavily. She let out a painful cry and took a step back. Only then did she know what real panic was.
"You even harmed the offspring of the Mo family! What else do you have to say!" Grandpa Mo still couldn't believe that Liu Yinyin would do such a thing. Subconsciously, he still wanted to give her a chance to defend herself.
But Liu Yinyin couldn't think of any good excuse. She just stared at Grandpa Mo in horror and stammered, "I... I..."
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Mo Donglin, who had watched the whole drama outside the door, slowly walked in.
Liu Yinyin seemed to have found a savior. She rushed to Mo Donglin's side and grabbed his arm. "Donglin, you have to believe me. I'm being framed."
Liu Yinyin finally came up with a countermeasure. "I bought the abortifacient before for a friend in secret. How could I harm Wei Lan?"
Liu Yinyin thought that Mo Donglin would be like before, listening to whatever she did. But this time, Mo Donglin took a step back and looked at Grandpa Mo. "Grandpa, it doesn't matter whether I believe Yinyin or not. As long as the evidence is conclusive, I'll admit it."
With this single sentence, Grandpa Mo's gaze on Mo Donglin softened a bit. Suddenly, he waved his hand and sat down heavily on the chair. "Since she's your wife, you decide how to deal with her. But no matter what you decide, I won't recognize this granddaughter - in - law anymore."
"Okay, Grandpa." Mo Donglin looked at Liu Yinyin and said calmly, "Yinyin, come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Liu Yinyin looked at him in disbelief. They had been married for more than two years, and Mo Donglin had never said he wanted a divorce before. Today...
Liu Yinyin looked around. She saw that all the servants were secretly happy when they heard this. Mo Beichen, Grandpa Mo, and Xia Weilan also had extremely cold expressions. And as for Mo Donglin, her husband, he was actually... so heartless at this moment.
Liu Yinyin let out a cold laugh, feeling a sense of despair.
"Divorce? Divorce then! Let's go." Liu Yinyin felt no regret in her heart. She lifted her feet and walked out.
Mo Donglin followed her out.
In the study, only Xia Weilan and Grandpa Mo were left. Xia Weilan's first words almost made Grandpa Mo lose his balance on the chair.
"Grandpa, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm going abroad."
"What?" Grandpa Mo couldn't sit still anymore. Thinking of his unworthy grandson, he tried to persuade her. "Wei Lan, Beichen was just confused for a moment. You're still young and can get pregnant again in the future. Don't act on impulse."
Xia Weilan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant. She smiled and patted Grandpa Mo's shoulder. "Grandpa, I'm going abroad to take care of my pregnancy. It's not what you think."
"You can take care of your pregnancy in the country too... What? You said you're going to take care of your pregnancy? You..." Grandpa Mo finally understood. His eyes subconsciously looked at Xia Weilan's belly, a bit unsure.
"Grandpa, actually, after I was given the abortifacient, the baby was saved because the rescue was timely. I was worried that someone would harm Xiaochun again, so I didn't say anything. Grandpa, I'm sorry." Xia Weilan apologized sincerely. Grandpa Mo must have been very sad these days.
With Grandpa Mo's shrewdness, he immediately understood the whole situation. "Silly girl, Grandpa doesn't blame you. It's good that the baby is still alive. That's great!"
Grandpa Mo even forgot his previous anger. Thinking that the offspring of the Mo family was still alive, he felt like he should offer incense in gratitude.
