"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Uncle, you hit me, you've made me stupid!" Lin Momo said with a wronged expression.
"You!" Gu Li cursed irritably, "You're really something else, you'll climb up the roof and tear off the tiles if you don't discipline yourself for a day."
Lin Momo chuckled, "Uncle, um, could I go out and buy a few clothes?"
"Go away, go away, seeing you annoys me." Gu Li waved his hand.
Lin Momo said that buying clothes was an excuse; her real intention was to find Yan Xiyue. She had been thinking about it for the past few days, and the coincidence of Li Jin taking her shopping and running into Yan Xiyue that day seemed too obvious. Therefore, she needed to confront Yan Xiyue and clarify things face-to-face.
Lin Momo's first stop was the Yan family. As soon as she arrived, Yan Chong came out with a gloomy face and told her to get out: "The Yan family doesn't welcome you! Get out! Get as far away as possible!"
Lin Momo hurriedly spoke up, "Uncle Yan, please let me see Yue. I have something I want to say to her. There might be a misunderstanding between us..."
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Haven't you harmed my Xiyue enough?" What Lin Momo couldn't understand was that Meng Lingzhu, Yan Xiyue's usually gentle mother, would actually come forward to accuse her.
"Aunt Meng, what... what do you mean by this?" Lin Momo's face was rather pale. "What happened to Yue?"
Meng Lingzhu's eyes reddened, and she covered her face and burst into tears.

"Uh..." Lin Momo neither dodged nor flinched, enduring several heavy blows from Yan Chong, and said through the pain, "Uncle Yan, please, please let me see her, okay?"
"You..." Yan Chong was furious and made a move to hit her again, but when he saw blood flowing from Lin Momo's forehead and her thin body, his anger subsided considerably. He threw down the iron rod and helplessly sat back on the sofa, indicating his acquiescence.
Seeing that they were no longer stopping her, Lin Momo hurriedly went upstairs to Yan Xiyue's room. The moment she pushed open the door, there was no sunlight as she had imagined. The room was completely dark, giving Lin Momo the illusion that she was in darkness.
"Yue?" Lin called out softly to Yan Xiyue, but received only deathly silence.
Lin Momo subconsciously reached for the light switch, but before she could touch it, a sharp gust of wind suddenly swept in. Lin Momo quickly dodged, and in the darkness, a shadow seemed to be wielding a weapon and lunging at her. Without saying a word, Lin Momo grabbed the person and pinned him to the ground.
"Ah!" the man cried out in pain.
Lin Momo hurriedly let go of his hand. "Yue?"
