Chapter 585: Preserving Her Face Is Preserving The Shao Family's
Chapter 585: Protecting her face means protecting the Shao family’s face
Back in the study, Shao Lin picked up the phone and called the bamboo weaving factory.
After the call was dialed, he noticed that it was past 10 o'clock and the bamboo weaving factory had already finished get off work. He was hesitating whether to hang up when the call was connected.
Listening to Huang Zhiqiu's familiar and gentle voice, Shao Lin coughed secretly, "It's me, Zhiqiu, it's so late and you haven't gotten off work yet?"
"It's time to get off work. I'm waiting for Momo's call, so I haven't returned to the dormitory yet."
"It's so late, will you go back alone?"
"No, I'm with Xiaoyu, he's counting the goods in the warehouse."
"That's good. Momo just went back. We had dinner together at Mom's place in the evening. Mom likes Momo very much."
After hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When the plane arrived in the capital, her daughter reported to her that she was safe, but she still couldn't let go, worried that her daughter would be bullied and disliked in the Shao family.
Knowing that she was still waiting for her daughter's call, Shao Lin didn't say much, just chatted for a few words and then took the initiative to end the call.
As soon as Shao Lin hung up, Yun Mo hit him.
Huang Zhiqiu picked up the answer immediately, "Hello, Momo?"
"It's me, Mom, who were you calling just now? I called twice and the line was busy."
Huang Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Who else could it be? Your dad. He said that Mrs. Shao likes you very much. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. Your daughter, I am smart and beautiful. I am loved by everyone. How could grandma not like me?"
Huang Zhiqiu was amused by her self-promotion and boasting, and his worries were completely relieved, but he still couldn't help but give some advice, such as respecting elders, being humble to peers, living in harmony with sisters and brothers, etc.
Yun Mo said yes, but thought in her heart that it would be best if her cousins were willing to live in harmony with her. Otherwise, she wouldn't mind "convincing others with virtue."
In her previous life, she was the eldest daughter of a top wealthy family. In addition to her talents in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, self-defense skills were also one of the must-learn lessons for her since childhood.
Although she couldn't beat a strong grown man like Ling Chuan, she could easily deal with a weakling like Shao Yixuan.
Putting down the phone, Yun Mo looked up and saw Ling Chuan standing a few steps away.
"Daughter-in-law, have you finished talking to mom?"
"You want to call?"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time.
Lingchuan nodded, "I want to call my eldest brother to say he's safe."
"Then you fight, I'll go back to the room and wash up."
Having already taken a shower in the afternoon, Yun Mo simply rinsed off the sweat with hot water, changed into dry 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 realized that the bed was 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 I was afraid that she wouldn't be used to sleeping, so I had someone prepare the same bed. Shao Lin, the father, really had nothing to say to her daughter.
Just as he was sighing, Lingchuan came back.
Yun Mo sat on the bed and looked at him, "Big brother, are they okay?"
"Um."
Seeing the man taking off his clothes and going to bed, Yun Mo stepped over and said, "Go take a shower!"
Lingchuan paused and looked at her with 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 quilt and lay down.
After she lay down, Lingchuan stood up, turned off the light, and lay next to her silently.
Maybe it was because he slept for a long time in the afternoon, and Yunmo still didn't feel sleepy after lying down for a while. On the contrary, Lingchuan, because he didn't have any rest in the afternoon, was already sleeping deeply and snoring slightly.
Compared to other men, Lingchuan's sleeping appearance was pretty good. He lay down very evenly and did not grind his teeth, drool, or snore. He would only snore slightly when he was extremely tired.
Yun Mo changed her position to lie on her side, looking at the man's handsome and three-dimensional side face in the soft moonlight outside the window, and became stunned.
Maybe she was too bored, so she couldn't help but suddenly thought of waking the man up and asking her if she snored while sleeping.
Of course, Yunmo didn't do this in the end.
Intellectually, it was immoral to wake someone else up from their sweet dreams, but emotionally, she was a little reluctant to wake him up.
In the unknowing years, this man has taken root in her heart and sprouted. Perhaps one day he will grow into a towering tree that no one can regret.
After being dazed for a while, Yun Mo simply sank her consciousness into the second level of space and went to see the apples, watermelons and orchids she planted.

"Dad, haven't you rested so late?"
In the east courtyard, Shao Yiqian looked at Shao Yuan who was wearing pajamas and knocking on his door, with slight surprise on his face.
"Seeing that the light is on in your room, I came over to say a few words to you."
Shao Yiqian let Shao Yuan into the room, "School is about to start, and I'm reviewing the contents of my senior year."
Shao Yiqian is one year younger than Yun Mo and will be promoted to grade three this year.
Shao Yuan was very satisfied with his son's self-discipline and self-awareness, and there was some concern in his eyes, "Although studies are important, your body cannot be ignored, and you must also pay attention to taking rest on time."
"Yes, I understand. Dad, what do you want to see me for?"
Shao Yuan thought for a moment before speaking, "I have heard about what happened in the afternoon. Your eldest uncle only has a daughter, and she is one year older than you. You should respect her in front of outsiders and come forward to defend her when necessary.
It doesn't matter, she is the daughter of the Shao family just like A Ying, and if you protect her face, you will protect the Shao family's face, do you understand?"
Shao Yiqian nodded solemnly, and at the same time understood what his father meant.
Yun Mo, like Shao Ying, is a girl and does not pose any threat to him. If the relationship is established, she may become his helper in the future.
"Dad, how is Shao Yian doing now? Does uncle really not care about him anymore?"
Shao Yuan sneered lightly, "If you want to take control of me, you should take care of it early. If you don't wait until now, if the Public Security Bureau dares to arrest someone, they must be angry with your uncle in advance."
I secretly found someone to spread the news to several families who had problems with Shao Yian before, and they will not let go of this great opportunity for revenge."
Shao Yian was spoiled by Yuan Jia, and relied on Shao Lin's status to act tyrannically, and formed mortal enemies with many wealthy children in the capital.
Now that he doesn't have Shao Lin's support, it would be strange if those rich kids don't trample him to death.
Shao Yuan patted his son on the shoulder encouragingly, "He was not your opponent before, and he will never be able to compare with you in the future. Yi Qian, whether it is in terms of seniority or talent and conduct, you are the one who stands out among the younger generation.
It didn’t live up to our expectations.”
"Well, Dad, I will try my best to prove it to you."

In the early morning, when the sun was just showing its peak, Mrs. Shao was carrying a kettle and carefully watering 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?"
