“Sister, have some water.” Mei Yan lifted his frail arm, trying to help Mei Shu sit up.
Mei Shu smiled at his silliness, propped herself up against the bed, took the cup Mei Yan handed her, and blew on the hot water inside. She asked faintly, “How long did I sleep?”
“Sister, you’ve been asleep for a whole day.” Mei Yan’s eye sockets were red, indicating that he probably hadn’t rested much that night.
Her other brothers also had a haggard appearance, showing their deep concern for her.
“Is Ah Feng still at home? How is the situation now?” Mei Shu was still worried about Xiao He’s condition.
Zhao Yan hurriedly explained, “Miss, rest assured, everything is fine at home. The police didn’t find anything when they went to our house. Shen Yuan can’t continue to discredit Miss with this matter.”
“Nothing was found?” Mei Shu was greatly surprised.
Mei Yan blinked in confusion, “Sister, do you really have her hairpin?”
Last time, after leaving the Shen family, Mei Shu directly stuffed the hairpin into the drawer. It was too valuable, and she didn’t intend to keep it. She was just waiting for a chance to return it to Shen Yuan. So, she didn’t tell Mei Yan and the others.
Mei Shu nodded, “Yes, and I placed it in the drawer of the desk. There’s no reason they couldn’t find it, right?”
“Could it be that Young Master Lu took the hairpin away in advance?” Zhao Yan hastily offered his speculation.
Mei Shu furrowed her brow, “Lu Yan? What does it have to do with him?”
Zhao Yan then explained the matter of Lu Yan arriving at the Mei family earlier than the police.
Mei Shu, after hearing it, thoughtfully said, “Where’s my phone?”
“Here.” Mei Yan picked up the phone from the table and handed it over, sounding indignant, “With such a big thing happening, that big liar is now playing a turtle, and there’s been no movement until now! 1 bet he might be in cahoots with that Shen Yuan!”
“He won’t.” Mei Shu instinctively defended Lu Si.
She opened her phone and saw only messages from Wen Miao and Lu Yan on the screen. Indeed, Lu Si hadn’t sent her a single word.
“Why do you still trust him so much, Sister? Don’t let his sweet words blind you! I bet he might be in league with that Shen Yuan!” Mei Yan pouted in dissatisfaction.
Mei Shu helplessly rubbed his head, “Because harming me has no benefit for him. He has no reason to do so. On the contrary, Shen Yuan, who is so anxious to bring me down, just confirms that she and Lu Si did not reach a consensus beforehand, and she acted on her own.”
“Yes, Young Master Lu explained it to the Young Master that way too,” Zhao Yan hesitated and said, “Miss, I took the time to visit the Lu family once, but the Lu family’s villa is strictly guarded by bodyguards. It seems that Master Si has really encountered some trouble.”
Mei Shu nodded, “As expected. Oh, how is Shen Yuan’s grandmother? She has a serious heart condition. Where is she hospitalized now?”
“Sister, why do you care about that old woman?” Mei Yan complained unhappily, “She slandered you, accusing you of stealing things. I’d rather she had a heart attack and died.”
“Yanyan, don’t speak like that.” Mei Shu scolded him with a stern look.
Mei Yan reluctantly said, “She is in a hospital room upstairs. Who knows whether she’s alive or dead now.”
“I’ll go take a look.” Mei Shu said and was about to get out of bed.
Mei Yan and Mei Jing hurriedly stopped her, “Sister, you can’t move around now, especially not for an old woman like that! The most important thing for you right now is to rest well.”
“I’m fine now.” Mei Shu pushed away the hands of the two tightly holding her arms, helplessly saying, “Rest assured, 1 know my limits. I’m just going to take a look and won’t do anything.”
“Okay.” The two of them had no choice but to let go, but they still guarded Mei Shu like two bodyguards.
Upstairs, in the intensive care unit.
Holding the examination results, the doctor said with a serious tone, “The old lady’s condition is not optimistic. The best solution now is to arrange for surgery as soon as possible, with the hope of recovery.”
Shen Yuan tightened her grip on the hospital bill, hesitatingly asked, “How much does the surgery cost?”
The doctor pushed his glasses up, calculating while saying, “The old woman’s condition is complicated. To undergo surgery, you need to prepare at least around four hundred thousand. In addition to the follow-up treatment and care costs, you need to be prepared.”
Shen Yuan let out a soft breath in shock, muttering, “I understand, doctor. I’ll pay the surgery fee as soon as possible.”
“Miss, the Shen Group can’t come up with so much money now.”
As soon as they left the ward, the secretary complained with a worried expression, “We haven’t compensated the losses from our cooperation with Kangwei. If we spend so much money, the company won’t be able to handle it.” “But 1 can’t watch my grandmother die without treatment.” Shen Yuan took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said, “I won’t use the company’s funds for this. I’ll find a way myself. You’ll have to put in extra effort to gather the compensation.”
“Okay.” The secretary nodded helplessly. Just as he finished speaking, he saw Mei Shu, dressed in a patient’s gown, in the corridor..
