Leaning over the table and consciously trying to lower her own presence, Mei Mu subconsciously tightened the chopsticks in her hand.
The elderly lady was the first to slap the table in dissatisfaction. “I’m not dead yet. Even if your father can’t handle it, I’ll take care of it. It’s not up to you!” “Granny!” Mei Mu hurriedly held the elderly lady’s hand, indicating for her to stop talking.
Mei Shu got up, tidied up his clothes, carried his bag, and said with a smile, “I’m not negotiating. I’m giving an order. You don’t have to decide my family’s matters. As long as you stay at home and enjoy your retirement, I have no grudge against you. 1 won’t shortchange you.”
“Hey, you!”
The elderly lady was speechless and could only watch Mei Shu leave with her bag on her back.
Mei Feng and Mei Jing secretly looked at each other, unable to hide their smug smiles.
After Mei Shu left, the elderly lady dared to throw a tantrum at Butler Zhao.
“Don’t forget that my son is the head of this family! You have to ask my son for his opinion on the matter of financial power. If you dare to hand over the power secretly, don’t blame me for asking my son to fire you!”
This was not the first time the elderly lady had threatened him with such words.
Zhao Yan took a deep breath and said slowly, “Missy is Mr. Mei’s biological daughter. Besides, Missy will inherit most of the Mei family’s assets, including the company’s shares. There’s no reason for me not to listen to her.”
“Are you openly going against me?” The elderly lady’s lips trembled in anger.
Butler Zhao was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “Please don’t be angry, Madam. 1 still have a lot of work to do. Please enjoy yourself.”
“Stop right there!” She grabbed her walking stick and was about to rush up to teach Zhao Yan a lesson.
Mei Feng frowned slightly and was about to stand up to stop the crazy woman, when Mei Mu suddenly grabbed the elderly lady’s hand. When she raised her head, her face was already full of tears.
She cried and begged, “Granny, stop fooling around and listen to Sister!”
“Oh, my precious granddaughter, why are you crying? Come and let me take a look!” The elderly lady immediately changed into a caring expression when she saw Mei Mu.
Mei Jing curled his lips and instantly felt disgusted. He threw away the chopsticks in his hand. “I don’t want to eat anymore. Why are you crying so early in the morning? 1 really don’t know what’s there to cry about!”
With that, he picked up his bag and left without looking back.
Behind him, Mei Mu looked at his back pitifully and then retracted her gaze aggrievedly. Her lower lip was almost bitten until it bled.
Seeing her expression, the elderly lady guessed that Mei Shu must have mistreated her. She immediately flew into a rage and said, “What happened? Tell me. I’ll help you teach her a lesson!”
Mei Mu shook her head desperately and said, “Granny, it’s really nothing. You don’t have to worry about me.”
But although she said that, her tears still fell.
Even the servants in charge of cleaning the dining room looked over curiously. Obviously, everyone wanted to know why Mei Mu was crying so miserably.
Although Mei Feng was too lazy to watch her put on an act, he felt that it was better for him to stay and see what tricks Mei Mu was up to. So he sat in his seat patiently and looked over with a frown as if he had eaten a fly.
Only Mei Yan looked at Mei Mu’s crying face with interest. He ate an extra bowl of rice and patted his stomach in satisfaction. After going upstairs to say goodbye to Mei He, he was sent to school by the driver.
“Granny.” Mei Mu sobbed and wiped her tears. Her eyes were swollen like a frightened rabbit. “Eat first. Didn’t the doctor tell you to eat breakfast well? Don’t affect your body because of me.”
“No, you have to tell me today what Mei Shu did to you!” The elderly lady continued to ask.
Mei Feng frowned even harder. “Grandma, Mei Mu never said that it had anything to do with Sister.”
“She must have done it! She’s the most abominable person in this family!” The elderly lady rolled her eyes angrily. “Mumu, just tell me. I’ll uphold justice for you. I don’t believe she can beat me to death!”
Mei Mu lowered her head and slowly pulled down the collar that was long enough to cover her entire neck, revealing the bruised skin under.
The elderly lady exclaimed and hurriedly ordered someone to call the doctor over.
Mei Feng’s pupils were constricted.
From his perspective, he could clearly see five finger imprints marked on Mei Mu’s neck.
“How did you get this?” He suspected that in order to frame his sister, Mei Mu had already gone crazy to the point of self-mutilation.
If Mei Mu really didn’t care about her life, she couldn’t stay at home anymore.
Who knew what terrifying things she would do when she went crazy?
The elderly lady glared at him and said, “How else! It must be Mei Shu! That little b*tch is really heartless.. Does she want to strangle my precious granddaughter to death?”
