Chapter 468: Distorting the Truth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With the search warrant in hand, they could search the house freely.
If a stranger suddenly barged into his room, Xiao He wouldn’t know how scared he would be.
His condition had just improved a little!
“Shen Yuan, do you know what I cannot tolerate the most?”
In front of everyone, Mei Shu tried to remain calm, not giving anyone a chance to fabricate excuses.
Shen Yuan inexplicably shivered inside.
From the time she met Mei Shu until now, it was the first time she had seen Mei Shu speak to her in such a tone.
But when she thought about how she was destined to completely offend Mei Shu this time, she had nothing to consider. She sneered and asked, “How would 1 know you? We’re not familiar. If it weren’t for you entangling with my fiance all the time, 1 would have absolutely no intersection with you.”
“You!” Mei Jing couldn’t suppress her defamatory attitude and was about to rush up to give this woman a hard slap.
Mei Shu raised her hand to stop his actions and calmly said, “What I cannot tolerate the most is when others mess with my brother. If Xiao He suffers any shock at home today, I will hold you accountable. I promise you’ll regret making this wrong decision today.”
A hint of panic flashed in Shen Yuan’s eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She looked visibly angered, and her chest heaved violently. “Alright, a mistress dares to threaten me? Let me tell you, 1 am the granddaughter-in-law personally designated by Lu Si’s grandfather. Threatening me is threatening the entire Lu family. Your Mei family is finished!”
“Hey, do you think the people of the Mei family have something wrong with their heads? Knowing that Shen Yuan is the future Mrs. Lu, she still dares to talk nonsense?!”
“Yeah! Wang Yue was executed and Mei Yun was sent to the hospital, and now the daughter of the Mei family got into such trouble, I think the Mei family is about to reach a dead end!”
“Back then, 1 was quite fond of Bai Ling, but 1 didn’t expect her children to be so brainless. It seems that the Mei family has no future!”
The guests below, thinking they had seen the whole situation, began to judge the Mei family recklessly in front of Mei Shu and others.
Even Mei Feng, who had always been calm and self-possessed, couldn’t help but get angry. He clenched his fists, forcing himself to stay calm. “Sis, I really can’t rest assured. 1 want to go back and check on Xiao He first.”
“You go, remember to bring the doctor as well. In case Xiao He is mentally unstable, he can be treated at any time.” Mei Shu responded calmly.
Mei Feng had just taken two steps when he stopped, hesitated, and turned back. “Sis, what about you being alone here…”
Mei Shu smiled slightly. “I’m fine. You take Yanyan and Xiao Jing with you. Also, Dad is in the hospital; find a few bodyguards to watch over, and don’t let the Shen family cause trouble in the hospital.”
“And what about Mei Mu…” In fact, Mei Feng had no idea where Mei Mu was hidden now. The last time he went to the hospital to inquire, the ward had long been occupied by another patient.
“They can’t find Mei Mu. Don’t worry.” Mei Shu pushed her two brothers who stood on each side of her like guardian deities, and gestured for them to leave. “Go back with Mei Feng. 1 don’t need you here.”
“No! Sister, this woman obviously means trouble. She might have some tricks up her sleeve. Even if we don’t need to take action, having two more voices to speak up for you is good!” Mei Jing and Meiyang had made up their minds. Regardless of how Mei Shu tried to drive them away, they refused to leave.
Mei Shu had no choice but to sigh. “Alright, Xiao Feng, handle things carefully when you go back. Keep in touch with me at all times. If there’s any situation at home, inform me immediately.”
She couldn’t leave now.
If she left like this, in the eyes of the public, she would be a mistress humiliated in her coming-of-age ceremony by the legitimate wife, a disgraceful figure with no face to show up again. Her charges would then be confirmed.
Otherwise, she really wanted to go back to protect Xiao He herself.
She had promised her brother that she wouldn’t let anyone have the chance to hurt him. Now it seemed that she was going to break that promise soon.
Now she could only hope that the police hadn’t arrived by the time Mei Feng got home.
But judging by Shen Yuan’s confidence, this was already impossible.
Watching Mei Feng leave the banquet, Mei Shu turned her gaze to the elderly lady below, whose eyes were avoiding her. A mocking smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
The old lady suddenly felt embarrassed.
But words spoken were like spilled water; once said, retracting them would only be a slap in the face for the Shen family.
“Miss Mei, 1 truly admire your composure. At this time, you still have the mood to attend your own banquet?” Shen Yuan’s words were full of mockery.
Mei Shu, easily seeing through her pretentious arrogance, responded with a cold smile, “What else did you expect? Do you think that spouting unfounded accusations and throwing mud on me can really distort the truth?”
She elegantly moved her slender legs, and the skirt shimmered between rises and falls, exuding incomparable beauty. “Shen Yuan, you could have obtained everything you wanted from me without doing anything. But now, 1 won’t let you off..”
