Chapter 355: Conflict
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The situation had progressed to this point, and there were already some clues.
After listening to the recorded conversation, anger welled up in Mei Feng’s eyes.
It was all because of that woman’s greed that their mother was about to sacrifice her precious life, forever resting on that cold mountain road.
Mei Yan and Mei Jing’s eyes were filled with lingering hatred.
Only Mei He looked confused.
He reached out to wipe away the tears at the corner of Mei Yan’s eyes, his expression vacant and gentle.
But the next moment, his hand was forcefully pushed away by Mei Yan, accidentally hitting the edge of the table with a light sound.
“Sis, that woman is in prison now. How much longer until she’s released? I can’t wait to kill her directly!”
“Yanyan, don’t be impulsive.” Meifeng suppressed the overwhelming hatred in her chest, speaking with reason. “The police are already helping us investigate this matter, so we better not get involved recklessly.”
“If the police were really effective, Mom wouldn’t have been haphazardly labeled as an accident after her death!” Mei Yan indignantly shouted, “We have to take revenge on Mom ourselves!”
“Yanyan, you need to calm down.” Mei Feng said.
“How can 1 calm down?”
Mei Feng helplessly looked at him, “Even if we want revenge now, we need to collect crucial evidence first. Otherwise, Wang Yue won’t easily admit her guilt.”
Mei Yan finally fell silent.
But his violently trembling shoulders seemed to be burdened with millions of grievances. In the end, he just released his clenched fists, lowered his head in despair, and walked away.
He blamed himself for being too young. As a primary school student, he lacked both financial resources and connections. He was not free with his time, unable to do something about finding evidence like his sister.
At his age, there was even a risk of being abducted when going out alone.
In the end, he was just too useless.
Thinking this way, Mei Yan left with a dejected expression.
At this moment, a muffled groan suddenly came from the side.
Mei Yan looked over in surprise, seeing Mei He tightly squeezing his own fingers, his lips bitten to a purplish-blue, with thin streaks of blood oozing out.
“Xiao He?”
Clearly, Mei Yan wasn’t the only one who noticed the anomaly.
Mei Shu’s ears were sharp. She hurriedly walked to Mei He’s side when she heard the sound, “Xiao He, what happened to you?”
She squatted down, gently trying to free Mei He’s fingers from his own stubborn control.
But Mei He was reluctant to let others see his finger.
Worried about hurting him, Mei Shu let go of his hand and instead reached to pat his head, “Xiao He, don’t be afraid. Let sister take a look, okay? Otherwise, we will all be very worried about you.”
Mei He’s struggling suddenly stopped. His gaze swept over the concerned faces of several people, and a strong sense of guilt and pain appeared on his face.
Everyone could see that he was acting abnormally. Temporarily putting aside the hatred towards Wang Yue, they all approached with concern.
Mei Feng tried to soothe him, “Xiao He, let your brother take a look at your hand. You promised us that we will always be a family, so if something’s wrong, don’t hide it from us.”
A hint of hesitation flashed in Mei He’s eyes, but he still shook his head while covering his finger.
Mei Yan, in a bad mood at the moment, saw his hesitant appearance and suddenly became irritated, “What’s wrong with you? Everyone is upset now. If you have something to say, don’t hesitate! Do you know that what you’re doing is wasting time?!”
“Yanyan!”
Mei Feng hurriedly rebuked Mei Yan, who was venting his anger on Mei He.
But it was already too late.
Mei He had heard every word Mei Yan scolded him with.
His face became even paler, and his whole body trembled violently. “Sorry.”
After mumbling his apology, tears streamed from his eyes like broken pearls. He then lifted his leg and ran away in a disheveled manner.
Mei Shu hurriedly chased after him.
Mei Feng glared fiercely at Mei Yan and then anxiously followed.
In the room, as soon as Mei He returned to his own room, he slammed the door shut with a “bang.” His body slid down, leaning against the door, and his tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
Outside, Mei Shu was anxiously banging on the door, pleading, “Xiao He, don’t listen to Yanyan’s nonsense. Open the door and let Sis take a look, okay?”
Mei He clutched his knees, sitting on the floor and burying his face in them. Hearing Mei Shu’s words, he kept shaking his head.
He hated himself for being so foolish and accidentally making a sound at that moment, disturbing everyone’s important discussion.
Even though he had no idea what had happened.
But he could tell from Mei Yan’s tone of grief and anger that whatever had occurred was undoubtedly more important than him.
He shouldn’t have disturbed everyone.
Maybe he shouldn’t have stayed here at all.
He was just a useless patient, always causing trouble for his family.
The cracks in his just-treated psychological state reappeared.
Mei He trapped himself in his shell, wishing he could just die like this..
