Ye Linlang subconsciously wanted to explain that this was the only right thing to do in the kitchen, but when she was about to say something, she immediately swallowed it.
What's there to explain?
Once an explanation was made, it would be an effective response to Mo Ling. This kind of response would also become a strong evidence of the rumors and would be repeated in a cycle.
There was no need. There was really no need.
Ye Linlang's expression instantly became distant. She replied coldly, "Yes, I'll eat this."
In this way, they could keep a distance from each other and gain peace.
After that, Ye Linlang did not say anything else. She turned around and continued upstairs without looking back.
Mo Ling was standing in the same place, and his eyes became gloomy and obscure.
A few seconds later, he walked to the bar counter.
After drinking a glass of ice water, the frustration in his heart eased a little. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Lin Zhi.
Early the next morning.
On the green road around the lake outside the villa, Mo Jin Jun was running in sportswear in the morning.
This was a habit she had developed since she was a child. As long as the weather allowed it, she would run every day.
In the second lap, he saw a familiar black Bugatti from a distance.
Sensing her gaze, the car beeped twice at the right time, and the window was also rolled down.
Mo Jin Jun ran a few steps and arrived at the driver's seat. She asked in surprise, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Mo Ling pointed at the steering wheel with his slender fingers. "I have something to ask you."
"Oh." Mo Jin Jun nodded and looked at him somewhat cautiously. "What is it?"
"Are there any rumors at home these two days?" Mo Ling asked directly.
Mo Jin Jun sucked in a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "Hey! How did Uncle know! I was just worried that I wouldn't know how to tell you!"
Mo Ling and the others did not know.
But last night, Ye Linlang wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Then, she suddenly changed her expression. It was really abnormal. Only then did he guess if she had heard something unpleasant.
As he had expected.
Mo Jin Jun did not know of his emotional activities. She only thought that her uncle was really powerful. Nothing in her family could hide from him.
Without any hesitation, Mo Jin Jun told her everything that had happened last night.
In the end, she didn't forget to complain that Ye Linlang was timid and didn't dare to scold those talkative servants.
"Uncle, you have to take care of them. If you allow them to spread the news like this, not only will it cause you trouble, Grandpa will also be very angry." Mo Jin Jun said worriedly.
"Oh?" Mo Ling asked.
Mo Jin Jun suddenly remembered that when her mother quarreled with her grandfather that night, her uncle was not at home. Instead, he rushed to the hospital to see Ye Linlang.
"It's like this. After you went to the hospital that day, my mother joked in front of my grandfather, saying that Ye Linlang worked so hard. Could it be that she fell in love with my little uncle? My grandfather got angry immediately and scolded my mother for being rude."
Then, Mo Jin Jun reminded him in a low voice, "I overheard this. Uncle, don't tell me."
It did not matter whether Ye Linlang liked Mo Ling or not. Anyway, she was so ugly that even her eldest brother and second brother did not like her. It was even more impossible for her uncle to like her.
But if her family quarreled with each other because of this matter and they didn't get along well with each other, it wouldn't work. She must stop it!
Mo Ling suddenly turned his head to look at her. "Why do you like to eavesdrop so much?"
She wanted to eavesdrop on the argument between Mrs. Mo and the Old Master. She also wanted to eavesdrop on the servants who were gossiping behind their backs.
Mo Jin Jun's breathing stopped.
"Why does my uncle always keep on eavesdropping like Ye Linlang?"
This was not the point at all!
Mo Ling Dong did not wait for her reply. He only fastened his seatbelt and said to Mo Jin Jun, "Go home early after you finish running."
Mo Jin Jun was so happy that she didn't want to be investigated into eavesdropping on this matter. She nodded obediently and said, "I got it. Bye-bye, Uncle."
...
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Linlang finished her work in the bedroom and immediately called Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was waiting at the door of the conference room, where Mo Ling was having a meeting.
Seeing the caller ID, he was surprised.
He was thinking about sending a message to Ye Linlang last night to ask her when it would be convenient for him.
As soon as the phone was connected, Ye Linlang asked, "Have you found that person?"
Although this question seemed to be very abrupt, Lin Zhi knew that she was asking about the traitor.
It had been a few days since the assassination. According to Mo Ling's connections and Lin Zhi's ability, he should have achieved something long ago.
But in fact, he didn't.
The other party was not easy to deal with. Even though Mo Ling and the others already had a suspect in their hearts, Lin Zhi was still unable to find the other party's cell phone signal. Even if it had hacked into all the system systems, there were no records.
It was as if this person had suddenly vanished from the world.
Of course, Lin Zhi wouldn't tell Ye Linlang that. He just gritted his teeth and answered with difficulty, "Not yet."
It was not easy to admit that he was incompetent.
"Not yet?" Ye Linlang was obviously surprised. "How come?"
Lin Zhi almost couldn't say a word when he blurted out the question.
Ye Linlang also realized that her tone was too direct and it hurt her self-esteem, so she added, "Don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to question you."
Lin Zhi shook his head. "It doesn't matter. When there's news, I'll inform Miss Ye as soon as possible."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Ye Linlang finished her words.
"Miss Ye, wait a minute!" Lin Zhi quickly stopped her. "Do you have any arrangements in the afternoon? Will you go out?"
Ye Linlang didn't know what was going on, so she answered honestly, "Stay in the villa all the time."
The doctor said that if she wanted to recover as soon as possible, she should take good care of herself and not walk too much.
Lin Zhi replied, "Okay, goodbye, Miss Ye."
After the call ended, Ye Linlang put down her phone.
Knock knock knock knock
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
A maid's voice came in. "Miss Ye, Mr. Long has brought a friend to visit you."
Long Yinghao?
"What is he doing here?"
After a moment of doubt, Ye Linlang replied, "Got it."
She went into the bathroom and tidied up. Then, she picked up a milky white knitted shirt and handed it to her. After that, she opened the door and went out.
As soon as he went downstairs, Long Yinghao's loud voice rang out, "Hello! Linlang! We're here to see you!"
Wang Bo was standing next to him.
It turned out that the friend of Long Yinghao mentioned by the maid was a changeer.
Now that they were in the School of Mo, it was not appropriate for Wang Bo to reveal his true nature. He could only put on airs and act more mature than Long Yinghao.
"Aunt—" As soon as Wang Bo opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Ye Linlang.
"Don't call me 'aunt'. You'd better call me Linlang."
She used to call him 'my dear' and called him 'old' for no reason.
Wang Bo scratched his head in embarrassment. "Well, Linlang, how are your injuries? Are you feeling better?"
Ye Linlang nodded. "There's no big problem. I'll be able to tear down the line in a few more days."
Long Yinghao clapped his hands. "That's great! I brought mahjong here today. Come on, let's play a few rounds to relieve Linlang's boredom!"
