After the call was connected, he noticed that it was already past 10 o'clock and the bamboo weaving factory had closed for the day. Just as he was hesitating whether to hang up, the call was connected.

Listening to Huang Zhiqiu's familiar and gentle voice, Shao Lin cleared his throat quietly, "It's me, Zhiqiu. It's so late and you haven't gotten off work yet?"

"I'm off work. I'm waiting for Momo's call, so I haven't returned to the dormitory yet."

"It's so late, are you going back alone later?"

"No, I'm with Xiaoyu, he's counting the goods in the warehouse."

"That's good. Momo just came back. We had dinner together at mom's place tonight. Mom likes Momo very much."

After hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When the plane arrived in Beijing, her daughter told her that she was safe, but she was still worried that her daughter would be bullied and ignored in the Shao family.

Knowing that she was still waiting for her daughter's call, Shao Lin didn't say much. After a few brief chats, he took the initiative to end the call.

As soon as Shao Lin hung up the call, Yun Mo called.

Huang Zhiqiu picked up the phone immediately, "Hello, is this Momo?"

"It's me, Mom. Who were you talking to on the phone? I called twice but the line was busy."

Huang Zhiqiu smiled, "Who else could it be? Your dad. He said that Mrs. Shao likes you very much. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. I'm your daughter, smart and pretty. Everyone loves me. How could grandma not like me?"

Huang Zhiqiu was amused by her self-praise and his worries were completely put to rest. However, he still couldn't help but give her some advice, such as respecting elders, being humble to peers, getting along well with sisters and brothers, etc.

Yun Mo agreed verbally, but in her heart she was thinking that it would be best if her cousins ​​were willing to get along with her in harmony. Otherwise, she didn't mind "conquering others with virtue."

In her previous life, as the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, in addition to her talents in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, self-defense skills were also one of the compulsory courses she had to learn since childhood.

Although she couldn't beat a grown man like Ling Chuan, it was still easy for her to deal with a weakling like Shao Yixuan.

After hanging up the phone, Yun Mo raised her eyes and saw Ling Chuan standing a few steps away.

"Wife, have you finished talking to Mom?"

"You want to make a phone call?"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Ling Chuan nodded, "I want to call my brother to let him know I'm safe."

"Then you go ahead and fight. I'm going back to my room to wash up."

Having already taken a shower in the afternoon, Yun Mo simply washed off the sweat on her body with hot water, changed into a dry set of pajamas and went to bed.

She was too sleepy in the afternoon and didn't pay much attention to it. Now that she was awake, she found that this bed was exactly the same style as the one she had in Jiang City. The only difference was that the material was more expensive and high-end.

I guess he was afraid that she would not be used to sleeping on it, so he specially asked someone to prepare the same bed. Shao Lin, as a father, really has nothing to say about his daughter.

Just as I was sighing, Lingchuan came back.

Yun Mo sat on the bed and looked at him, "Are my elder brother and the others at home all right?"

"Um."

Seeing the man taking off his clothes and going to bed, Yun Mo kicked him over and said, "Go take a shower!"

Ling Chuan paused, looking at her eagerly with his dark eyes, "I just took a shower while you were on the phone in the living room."

"Oh, then go to sleep and turn off the lights."

Yun Mo pulled her legs back, covered herself with a thin blanket and lay down.

Maybe because she slept too long in the afternoon, Yun Mo didn't feel sleepy even after lying down for a while. On the contrary, Ling Chuan, who didn't rest in the afternoon, was now sleeping soundly and snoring slightly.

Compared to other men, Ling Chuan's sleeping posture is pretty good. He lies very steadily, does not grind his teeth, drool or snore. Only when he is extremely tired, he will snore slightly.

Yun Mo changed to a side-lying position, and stared at the man's handsome three-dimensional profile in a daze in the soft moonlight outside the window.

Maybe she was too bored, and she couldn't help but have a sudden idea to wake the man up and ask him if she snored while sleeping.

Of course, Yun Mo didn't do that in the end.

Intellectually, it was immoral to wake someone up from their sweet dream, but emotionally, she was reluctant to wake him up.

In the years that passed unnoticed, this man had already taken root and sprouted in her heart. Perhaps one day he would grow into a towering tree that no one could shake.

After being dazed for a while, Yun Mo simply sank her consciousness into the second level of space to check on the apples, watermelons and orchids she planted.

"Dad, you haven't rested yet so late?"

In the East Courtyard, Shao Yiqian looked at Shao Yuan, who was knocking on his door in pajamas, with a slight surprise on his face.

"I saw the light was on in your room, so I came over to talk to you."

Shao Yiqian let Shao Yuan into the house and said, "School is about to start. I'm reviewing the content for senior year."

Shao Yiqian is one year younger than Yunmo and is entering his third year of high school this year.

Shao Yuan was very satisfied with his son's self-discipline and self-awareness, and his eyes showed some concern. "Although academics are important, your health should not be neglected. You should also make sure to rest on time."

"Yes, I understand. Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Shao Yuan thought for a moment before speaking, "I've heard about what happened this afternoon. Your uncle has only one daughter, and she's one year older than you. You should be respectful to her in front of outsiders. If necessary, it's okay to speak up and defend her. She is a daughter of the Shao family just like Aying. If you defend her, you are defending the Shao family. Do you understand?"

Shao Yiqian nodded solemnly, and at the same time understood the implication of his father's words.

Yun Mo, like Shao Ying, is a girl and poses no threat to him. If they can get along well, she may even become a help to him in the future.

"Dad, how is Shao Yian now? Does uncle really not care about him anymore?"

Shao Yuan sneered, "If they wanted to take care of it, they would have done it earlier, and would not have waited until now. If the Public Security Bureau dared to detain someone, they must have informed your uncle in advance.

I secretly asked someone to spread the news to several families that had conflicts with Shao Yian in the past. They will not miss this great opportunity for revenge. "

Shao Yian was spoiled by Yuan Jia, and relied on Shao Lin's status to act tyrannically, making mortal enemies with many wealthy young men in the capital.

Now that Shao Lin is no longer backing him up, it would be strange if those rich kids didn't trample him to death.

Shao Yuan patted his son's shoulder encouragingly, "He was not your opponent before, and he will definitely not be able to be compared with you in the future. Yiqian, whether in terms of seniority or talent and character, you are the leader of the younger generation. Don't let us down."

"Well, Dad, I will try my best to prove it to you."

In the early morning, when the sun had just risen above the sky, Mrs. Shao carried a kettle and carefully watered the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Mom, are you busy so early in the morning?"

Looking at her son's excited face, Mrs. Shao was a little puzzled, "Why are you here so early in the morning?"
