Chapter 565 Injustice, a huge injustice!
Two shrewd people can't control love. Most love stories are just a shrewd person playing a fool game. Of course, two fools have a better time playing.

Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan, this pair of people are clearly not two fools, they can only be the former.

Although Lin Mo is not stupid, it depends on who you compare him to. Compared to ordinary people, Lin Mo is not only not stupid, but he is even considered to be somewhat clever. Although his interpersonal skills, learning ability, and business talent are not top-notch, he has some of them and is within the range of normal people.

But compared to Liu Ruyan, he's practically no different from a fool; at least they're not on the same level in terms of intelligence and emotional intelligence.

As soon as she returned yesterday afternoon, Liu Ruyan sensed that her little man seemed to be hiding something from her. She asked him about it indirectly, but when she found that Lin Mo was changing the subject, she didn't press him further.

However, not asking further doesn't mean she has no way of knowing.

Of course, she didn't think that Lin Mo had someone else while she was gone. She was confident in that. First, she had confidence in Lin Mo, and second, she had even more confidence in her figure and appearance. So, there was only one possibility left: her little man had encountered some trouble and was too embarrassed to tell her.

Sure enough, she only needed to make a slight move to find out almost everything. There was nothing she could do; she had Zhao Yun's contact information, and a simple phone call would reveal all she needed to know.

When Liu Ruyan learned that someone had been bullying her man while she was away, her eyes immediately turned cold.

Not only did someone try to take advantage of her man's restaurant through improper means, but now they've resorted to such despicable tactics. It's clear they don't respect her at all!
Especially with the news circulating online these past two days, although Lin Mo said that someone might be eyeing his bounty, Liu Ruyan immediately connected it to the Qin and Huang families.

As for evidence? There isn't any! But as long as he has suspicions, that's enough. When everyone is playing the game outside the rules, it's a matter of who has the tougher methods.

What frightened her most was that thankfully there were police officers deployed outside; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After learning the truth, she immediately arranged for people to investigate Qin Tian's whereabouts. "You messed with my man, so I'll mess with your son."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Ruyan leaned against the headboard, the blanket draped over her chest, her shoulders exposed, her hair casually falling down. After thinking for a moment, she dialed another number.

"Hey, Xiao'e, what brings you to call Mom at this hour?" Ms. Cheng's languid voice came through the phone.

She usually uses this time to get her beauty sleep, but with the weather so cold these past few days, she's even less inclined to go out.

As the saying goes, spring brings drowsiness, autumn brings fatigue, summer brings lethargy, and winter brings hibernation; winter is the perfect time to sleep.

"Mom, I'm going back to Jiangning," Liu Ruyan said in a somewhat cold tone.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng was taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Are you coming back today? Are you going home?"

"No, I came back yesterday. By the way, is my dad home?" Liu Ruyan continued to ask, her tone calm but without any emotional fluctuation.

At that moment, the smile on Ms. Cheng's face at the Liu family villa on the other end of the phone gradually disappeared: "I'm here, I'm here, Xiao'e, you..."

"That's good. I'll go home in a bit. If anything happens, I'll talk to my dad and tell him not to go out today," Liu Ruyan said.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng sighed and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him in a bit. Drive carefully on your way back. We can talk about it in person when you get back!"

"Okay, Mom, I'll hang up now."

After saying that, Liu Ruyan put her phone aside, then looked at the empty bed next to her. The coldness in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she murmured softly, "Fool, why are you being so polite with your sister!"

Then Liu Ruyan slowly stretched, and the blanket in front of her chest fell smoothly, revealing a beautiful sight.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhengyuan, who had heard the commotion, went into the bedroom and saw his wife looking worried. He asked, "What's wrong? Who called?"

"It's your daughter, Xiao'e, she's back," Ms. Cheng sighed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan smiled, somewhat puzzled, and said, "No, my daughter is back. Shouldn't we be happy? Why are you looking so gloomy?"
Is she coming back today? Where is she? Should I send someone to pick her up?

For Liu Zhengyuan, his only daughter was someone he doted on. Now that his eldest daughter was back, they had to celebrate.

Moreover, he had also inquired about his daughter's situation during this time and learned that she was doing well in another city, having secured all the projects she was supposed to, and completing all the tasks he had assigned her.

It's fair to say that, given his daughter's growth rate, he will be able to gradually hand over the company to her in a few years. While not entirely, at least their family won't face a generational gap.

Look at the situation of Old Yuan's family next door. So what if they've been rich for generations? In the end, their son is still a disappointment. Old Yuan can't let go of such a huge family business, at least not in the short term.

"Hit her? Xiao'e came back yesterday," Ms. Cheng said, rolling her eyes at her husband.

Liu Zhengyuan: ? ? ?

"She came back yesterday? Why didn't she say so!"

"Of course she went to her boyfriend's place. And your daughter just called, saying she has something to tell you and that you shouldn't go out today. Also, a friendly reminder: your daughter's tone wasn't friendly, so be prepared!" Ms. Cheng said helplessly.

The family of three were all intelligent people. Although Liu Ruyan didn't say it explicitly, Ms. Cheng knew from her tone that her daughter must have found out about Lin Mo's affair.

Liu Zhengyuan wasn't stupid either. His wife had made it so obvious, so he naturally realized that his daughter was upset.

"My goodness, Xiao Lin was so farsighted. If he had told Xiao E beforehand, she would have come back long ago."

Thankfully, most of the issues have been resolved now. The Qin family suffered heavy losses, which allowed Xiao Lin to vent her anger and also helped her daughter calm down.

"When our daughter comes back, you have to be my witness that I really did my best," Liu Zhengyuan said, first relieved, then a little nervous.

They breathed a sigh of relief because the matter was almost resolved. Both Qin Zhenhong and Huang Dayong's families had paid a heavy price. Qin Zhenhong's family, in particular, might have gone bankrupt. Even he and Lao Yuan hadn't expected such a powerful counterattack, but Lin Mo had actually succeeded. Compared to Lin Mo's small loss, both families suffered heavy losses, so Lin Mo certainly didn't lose out.

But he was also a little nervous, because Liu Zhengyuan knew his daughter's personality all too well, and he was afraid that she would say that he, as her father, just stood by and watched without helping at all, and then she might make a scene.

"Well, your daughter has to believe it first. Xiao'e is just like me. Just think about how I treat you, so you'd better be prepared," Ms. Cheng said with a light laugh.

Liu Zhengyuan:
Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan, dressed neatly, came downstairs and saw Lin Mo walking back with breakfast.

"Hey? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Lin Mo asked, holding breakfast in his hand.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan gave him a reproachful look: "What time is it and you're still sleeping? By the way, didn't your friend have something to do? Why are you back so soon?"

"Hey, he asked me to accompany him on his live stream to increase his popularity. I knew this kid was up to no good. Besides, he can always resolve this issue eventually. I can't let you go hungry, can I?" Lin Mo laughed.

Asking him to come over so early in the morning just so he can do a live stream? What a joke! He already said everything that Chuanmei said in her live stream yesterday. Why would he need to go and explain it again? Besides, he doesn't need the attention.

Sure enough, he came back after helping the Sichuan girl draw a few sketches.

Although he wasn't one of the missing persons officially reported by Zhao Yun, he was still willing to help because he was a netizen from another province who asked for help in the comments section of the Sichuan girl's post.

As for live streaming, he decided against it. Although he knew that if he and Chuanmei did a live stream, they would definitely receive a lot of gifts, he was just not comfortable showing himself in front of the camera.

Besides, this matter was already very popular, and apart from not revealing too much other information, his participation in the live stream would actually have very limited effect.

It's important to understand that for someone like him with such special abilities, sometimes it's quite necessary to keep a low profile. There's no need to put himself in the spotlight and attract the attention of many netizens.

"Oh my, my little brother really knows how to care for his sister. But I heard someone say that if he makes money, he'll give you a wife instead?" Liu Ruyan crossed her arms and smiled with a malicious grin.

Lin Mo:
He thought that Liu Ruyan hadn't opened her eyes and he hadn't turned on speakerphone, so his girlfriend hadn't heard anything. He never expected that she had heard everything clearly.

"Cough cough, how could that be? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, he's single himself. Do you think he has the ability to find me a wife?" Lin Mo stubbornly explained.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan put her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly: "You really don't want a new wife?"

"Of course, I definitely didn't. By the way, what is this?" Lin Mo quickly changed the subject.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan smiled and didn't press the matter. After all, boys sometimes make little jokes in private, just like girls don't share their private conversations with their boyfriends.

"I came back yesterday and I'm planning to go home today. Why don't you come home with me?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head: "Today? Forget it, I haven't prepared anything. Let's go back together another day."

Since you've been away on business for so long, why don't you spend some time with your aunt and uncle? I won't go; it'll save your aunt the trouble.

It wasn't that he was afraid to go; after all, he had been before. He had met both Ms. Cheng and Comrade Lao Liu, and even eaten with them. So he wasn't afraid. It was just that he wasn't used to it. After all, they weren't married yet, and he couldn't be his own family.

Moreover, once he goes there, Ms. Cheng will definitely be busy again and won't feel so comfortable. As for saying that she didn't prepare anything, that's just an excuse. After all, if she really wanted to go, she could just buy some things at the tobacco and liquor store without any delay.

Liu Ruyan naturally saw through his thoughts and then smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll go back first. You and your friends go have fun. Remember to eat lunch, and let you rest a bit, so your cousin won't say I'm using you to replenish my yin!"

"Pah! Who are you looking down on? Who needs a break? I'm perfectly fine," Lin Mo retorted, breaking down in his guard.

Liu Ruyan chuckled lightly at this: "Tch, you know in your heart whether you're energetic or not. Alright, I'm leaving now, bye-bye!"

With that, Liu Ruyan got into the car.

"Breakfast, take it with you on the road, the soy milk is still hot," Lin Mo said, quickly handing over the breakfast.

Soon, with the roar of the engine, the car slowly drove out of the residential area. Watching his girlfriend leave, Lin Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and murmured:

"No, I still need to practice this Yang-supporting stance. I don't want to turn myself into a medicinal residue."

Because the road was slippery, Liu Ruyan did not drive fast, and it took her more than an hour to get home, close to noon.

Seeing his daughter's car, Liu Zhengyuan, feeling a little uneasy, ran straight to the door to greet her. As soon as Liu Ruyan got out of the car, Liu Zhengyuan rushed forward: "Oh, my daughter is back. You must be tired from your business trip. Dad had Auntie make your favorite dishes today. Come on, it's cold outside!"

Liu Ruyan simply followed her father into the house with a blank expression. As soon as they entered, she spoke directly:

"Dad, I'm your only daughter, right?"

Liu Zhengyuan: ? ? ?

"Huh? What do you mean? Of course I only have one daughter, you. We don't have a second child."

Liu Ruyan: "That's good. If you had an illegitimate child outside, I would really be embarrassed to say it!"

Upon hearing this, Old Liu's face contorted with shock, and he quickly looked at his wife sitting on the sofa.
"Heavens above, discern the truth from the falsehood! I'm innocent, utterly innocent!"
