Chapter 13: Lin Wan’s Graduation Gift

For Lin Hen, Lin Mo's sudden appearance was overwhelming—a stranger who one day was simply at home. His parents claimed she was his biological younger sister. Meanwhile, Wanwan, whom they had cherished for eighteen years, wept every day. This only deepened his favoritism toward Wanwan.

If he despised Lin Mo, it was without a doubt. The car had already sped out onto the track. He watched the several cars ahead, his own positioned squarely in the center.

“Second Young Master Lin, are you worried about your sister?” Li Xue crossed her arms.

“Hah, no way,” Lin Hen’s face darkened to an almost black shade. “But if anything happens to her, just wait and see!”

Li Xue frowned. “It’s inevitable something will happen. Running a full lap at Qiuyeshan is no easy feat...”

“There are so many curves, not to mention the dangerous spots.”

“If she flips the car, it could be really dangerous.”

Lin Hen’s fist clenched tightly at his side.

A signal sounded.

Six cars shot forward like arrows released from a bow.

Cheers erupted from the crowd nearby. Li Xue also excitedly watched the cars speed away on the track.

“Oh my god, they’re all driving so fast, amazing.”

“Second Young Master, your sister is no ordinary girl.”

“Tsk tsk, this race is really intense.”

Cold sweat beaded on Lin Hen’s forehead. Every second felt like torture.

In less than three minutes...

One car skidded off at a curve.

Someone gasped, “An accident!”

At that moment, no matter how much Lin Hen had drunk, he was completely sober and alert.

He focused his gaze but couldn’t see clearly.

The other five cars continued racing.

“Damn, it’s Old Niu. He usually likes sabotaging others’ cars, now he’s caused a crash.”

“Hurry and get the person out!”

The roar of the engines and the mountain wind thundered deafeningly in his ears.

Lin Mo’s expression was colder than snow.

It was clear they had conspired to sabotage her car, to gang up on her.

“Hmph.”

Her eyes were dark as ink; she was no longer the girl who could be bullied.

“Whoosh—”

Zeng Ke, watching Lin Mo drive so steadily with exceptional racing skill, felt immense pressure, quickly being left far behind.

“Damn, isn’t she supposed to be a bad driver? How is she so good?”

Soon, the second and third cars had accidents.

Lin Hen’s heart pounded wildly. “Who’s in trouble?”

Li Xue frowned, “Not Lin Mo, anyway.”

Somehow, Lin Hen felt a strange relief. Odd, since he didn’t care for Lin Mo, who seemed redundant to him.

His brow furrowed deeply, his heartbeat quickening.

Ahead lay the deadly curve!

Ten minutes later.

Lin Mo’s car stopped steadily.

All the others had problems.

The ambulance had already arrived.

Lin Mo opened the passenger door. “Get in.”

Lin Hen climbed in. “You…”

Lin Mo drove home coldly, her expression chillier than the air conditioning.

This trip was not a loss; not only had she taken revenge on those scoundrels but also earned 500,000 yuan.

For her, that was truly life-saving money.

The car stopped.

Lin Hen chased after her and grabbed her wrist. “Lin Mo, what’s really going on?”

“Why don’t you ask them yourself?” Lin Mo sneered, recalling how when she was half dead in the hospital, he had mistaken the person from that night for Lin Wan.

She found it utterly laughable in her heart.

And she would never forgive him.

“I’m going to sleep.”

Meanwhile, Wei Shengyan and Zheng Xiu watched the gruesome scene in silence.

Wei Shengyan, especially, was unusually quiet, lost in thought.

Zheng Xiu gave a thumbs-up. “This little beauty is truly a tough one. I told you she’s a real force to be reckoned with.”

“But those guys will definitely come after her. They’re a bunch of rich second-generation heirs who don’t mess around.”

Wei Shengyan shot him a glance. “You handle it.”

“Come on, don’t you have no interest in her?” Zheng Xiu frowned. “I get it now—you like tough girls, huh?”

Wei Shengyan ignored him. “I’m busy, I’m heading back to the capital.”

Before leaving, he handed Zheng Xiu a business card. “Give this to her.”

“Two-faced,” Zheng Xiu shook his head and turned toward the group.

Dawn came quickly.

After staying up late washing up and finally sleeping, Lin Mo woke well past noon.

Qin Lian couldn’t help but scold at the breakfast table. “What kind of person is Lin Mo? She does whatever she pleases, waking up whenever she wants.”

“She probably ran off last night to hang out with someone again, no semblance of a proper young lady.”

“Aunt Zhao, go call her down! If she skips breakfast, don’t feed her all day!”

Aunt Zhao sighed silently, “Yes…”

“Wait.” Lin Hen’s thick eyebrows slanted like swords, his deep eyes mischievous. “Let her sleep.”

“Last night, I asked her to drive for me and disturbed her rest.”

Lin Wan had always treated this as a daily joke, but now her second brother actually spoke up for Lin Mo.

She instantly felt a pang of jealousy. “Second brother, stop defending her. You usually ignore Mo Mo, how could you have asked her to drive for you?”

“Besides, Mo Mo just came back from the countryside. She doesn’t even know how to drive.”

She wrinkled her nose deliberately, looking coquettish. “You just dote on Mo Mo too much. I’m getting jealous.”

Qin Lian rolled her eyes. “Exactly. You’re a good driver yourself. Why do you need her to drive? Don’t you have any drivers?”

“Aunt Zhao, go on now.”

Lin Hen suddenly fell silent, lost in thought with a dark, unreadable expression.

Qin Lian smiled. “By the way, Second Brother, I wanted to discuss something with you.”

Lin Hen looked up at Qin Lian.

Qin Lian said, “Your sister is going to a 985 university, right? Though it’s in the provincial capital, it’s still a bit far from home.”

“I’m planning to buy her a 500,000-yuan car, a fashionable brand, so she won’t be embarrassed driving it.”

“What do you think? Any good models you’d recommend?”

“Mom, you’re so kind! No wonder you urged me to get my driver’s license—turns out you want to buy me a car!” Lin Wan hugged Qin Lian’s arm, acting spoiled. “Such an expensive car, Mom, you’re so generous!”

“The family money is all for you girls anyway,” Qin Lian smiled. “You’re going to such a good school; we can’t lose face. We don’t want people looking down on us.”

Lin Hen glanced at the warm mother-daughter scene.

For some reason, the image of Lin Mo injured in the hospital flashed through his mind.

Is this fair?

His eyes suddenly grew serious.

“Brother, what are you thinking? You don’t love Wanwan anymore, do you? You’re being so indifferent.”

Lin Hen looked at the sweetly smiling Lin Wan in front of him. “Wanwan, go to the dealership and pick whichever car you like. Brother will get it for you.”

Wanwan immediately lit up. “Really?”

At that moment, Lin Mo reluctantly came downstairs.

She sat at the far edge of the breakfast table.

Lin Wan deliberately said, “Mo Mo, here’s some good news: I’m going to the provincial university next month, and brother and mom bought me a luxury car!”

“Mo Mo, you don’t even have your driver’s license yet. When the car comes, I’ll take you and my friends for a ride.”

Qin Lian smiled awkwardly. “Why bring her? Don’t embarrass yourself in front of your friends.”
