Chapter 237: Start to Act
The next morning, Chen Li found out the truth from Yun Qiao and Yun Xi. Since the school wanted Yun Xi’s parents to go to the school to resolve the matter, it had to be Yun Gang and his wife.
Although Yun Lian was Chen Li’s biological daughter, Yun Gang and his wife were Yun Lian’s legal guardians. The school definitely wanted to find her legal guardians.
Chen Li planned to let Yun Lian go home and let Yun Gang and his wife handle this matter.
“Mom, no, I don’t want to go back. If I go back, they’ll definitely beat me to death.” Yun Gang’s vicious look instantly appeared in Yun Lian’s mind. He held onto Chen Li’s hand and was unwilling to let go.
“Child, it’s the school’s request, after all. We should do as they say.”!!
“No, no, I don’t want to go back.”
Yun Lian’s attitude was also very firm.
“How about this? I’ll accompany you to your hometown and bring back the pension money for the two elders this month at the same time. I’ll protect you. Do you feel at ease now?” Chen Li asked.
Yun Lian quickly thought about the pros and cons of this matter. Thinking that she still had to continue studying, Yun Gang and the others would have to go forward. Thus, she nodded and agreed to Chen Li’s suggestion. With Chen Li present, Yun Gang, who cared about his reputation, could not easily hit Yun Lian!
Seeing Chen Li leave, this was a heaven-sent opportunity for Wu Mei. She quietly took out a small porcelain bottle and went to the kitchen.
Yun Xi saw Wu Mei’s actions.
“Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts.”
Yun Xi’s words were meant for Yun Qiao.
“Yun Xi, I’m not feeling well today. Please go to the school and ask my class teacher to give me a leave of absence.”
“Yun Xi, where are you feeling unwell? Is there anything wrong? Do you need me to bring you to Doctor Lu’s place to have a look?”
Yun Qiao asked anxiously.
“It’s alright. I might’ve eaten something wrong. I just need to go to the toilet a few times. It’s not that serious. Just help me ask for a day’s leave of absence.”
“Alright then, but if you feel unwell, you must tell me in time.” Yun Qiao was still very worried.
“It’s okay, Yun Qiao. Go to school. Today, Boss Jing’s shop is being renovated. I don’t need to go to work. I can stay at home and look after Yun Xi.”
Yun Shan came out of the room and said to Yun Qiao.
“Since you’re home, I’m relieved. I’ll go to school and ask for a day off for you.” Yun Qiao carried his bag and walked out of the house.
“Yun Xi, are you alright?”
Yun Shan looked at his daughter’s face, which was scrunched up from the pain. He squatted down beside her and asked.
Yun Xi was just pretending. Seeing Yun Shan’s worried look, she felt a little sorry.
“It’s alright, Dad. I’ll go back to my room and lie down for a while.”
“Then I’ll go back to my room to tidy up. If you’re really uncomfortable, you must call for me.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Yun Xi walked back to her room.
At this moment, Wu Mei was warming up the wine in the kitchen. She planned to put the medicinal powder in the small porcelain bottle that Zhao Biao had given her into the wine. Wu Mei stir-fried another side dish and took a plate of refreshing pickles. She tidied her hair and walked into the master bedroom shyly.
“Brother Shan, are you there?”
“Wu Mei, what’s the matter?”
Yun Shan looked at her but did not stop working.
“I still feel guilty about what happened yesterday. It’s already very kind of you to take me in, but I still shamelessly took the money for the groceries. The more I think about it, the more I feel guilty. I specially came to apologize to you, Brother Shan.”
Wu Mei placed the things in her hands on the small table in the room, then she picked up two wine cups and walked toward Yun Shan.
“Brother Shan, no matter what, you have to drink this toast to you today.”
Yun Shan originally did not want to drink, but he could not resist Wu Mei’s repeated advice. In the end, he could only tell Wu Mei that he would only drink one cup. In fact, the couple did not really care about what happened last night.
After a cup of wine, Yun Shan felt dizzy. In less than five minutes, he fell onto the bed.
“Hmph, aren’t you still a lamb to be slaughtered by me?”
Wu Mei left the room after saying that. Now, she had to find Zhao Biao to arrange the rest of the matters. She told Zhao Biao’s group of brothers that they could start to act.
