“Miss, look over there.”
He pointed in Mei Shu’s direction and whispered something in Shen Yuan’s ear.
Shen Yuan dangerously squinted her eyes and said, “1 know what to do. You go back to the company; 1 can handle it here alone.”
“Miss, please take care.” The secretary, still concerned, gave a few more instructions, then turned and took the elevator down from another direction.
After getting detailed information about the old woman’s health at the nurse’s station, Mei Shu was ready to visit the ward.
Little did she know that as soon as she turned around, she ran into Shen Yuan, and the atmosphere immediately became intense.
Mei Yan couldn’t hold back and rushed forward, shouting, “Don’t get close to my sister!”
Shen Yuan’s cold gaze fell on his visibly limping foot. “If I didn’t hear it wrong, you actively inquired about my grandmother’s condition just now. Clearly, you were the ones trying to approach us. How come the evildoer lodges a complaint first?”
“You are the evildoer!” Mei Yan gritted his teeth in anger.
The tendon that Shen Yuan had stepped on was still throbbing.
If it weren’t for Shen Yuan deliberately stepping on him, his sister wouldn’t have been injured trying to save him!
“Yan Yan, don’t argue with her; it’s pointless.” Mei Shu calmly said, “Miss Shen, instead of arguing with a child here, it’s better to prepare for the imminent surgery for the old lady.”
“I originally wanted to find you in person, but unexpectedly, you came looking for me first. That works out well.” Shen Yuan, arms crossed, was full of arrogance. “The reason my grandmother had a heart attack was because of you. How much money do you plan to compensate?”
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow playfully, deliberately taunting her, “It seems that the Shen family is really in dire straits. Can’t you even come up with the money for your grandmother’s treatment?”
Shen Yuan held her head high, saying, “We’re talking about your matter now.
So many people saw it at the scene yesterday. After you talked to my grandmother, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Then, it led to a heart attack. Shouldn’t you take full responsibility?”
Mei Yan was so angry that he wanted to grind his molars into pieces. “You shameless woman! It was clearly you deliberately causing trouble that made your grandmother miss the best treatment time. Now, you can’t afford the surgery fee, so you’re dodging responsibility. Let me tell you, 1 recorded what my sister and your grandmother said at the time!”
“Recorded it? Young Master Mei, where is your recording device?” Shen Yuan provocatively smiled.
Mei Yan then remembered that he had forgotten to pick up the recording device after it fell to the ground. He was so focused on checking the wound on Mei Shu’s head!
Seeing Shen Yuan’s calm and composed appearance, he realized that she must have picked up the recording device and deleted everything inside.
Shen Yuan, seeing Mei Yan at a loss for words, smiled even more triumphantly. “Since you can’t produce evidence, just obediently pay up. Everyone’s eyes are on the Mei family now. You should know that after I expose this matter, you’ll be scolded to no end!”
Mei Shu raised her hand to stop Mei Yan, who still wanted to argue logically.
Arguing with Shen Yuan at this time was useless. It would be a waste of breath.
Shen Yuan’s goal was simple: to drive Mei Shu away from Lu Si and make the Mei family pay for her grandmother’s treatment.
But Mei Shu wouldn’t let her have her way.
She casually glanced at Shen Yuan, and the system instantly went into action.
Now, there was also an electronic screen next to Shen Yuan, recording detailed information and personal data, just like the one Mei Jing had.
Among them, there was one item that Mei Shu found interesting.
She smiled and said, “After such a big incident, why haven’t we seen President Shen in person?”
Shen Yuan didn’t understand why she suddenly mentioned her father, and her brow furrowed with vigilance. “What are you trying to say? What does it have to do with you?”
Mei Shu, feeling quite satisfied, said, “Indeed, it has nothing to do with me because I’m not interested in you. But I think the public will be very interested. Why did President Shen suddenly transfer the CEO position to you before retirement age?”
There was a momentary panic in Shen Yuan’s eyes. “What do you want to say?”
Mei Shu leaned in closer, deliberately lowering her voice, “You can rest assured; 1 have no interest in what retribution your father receives. But 1 think this can be considered a secret you don’t want others to know. I’m a kind-hearted person; I will keep this secret for you.”
Shen Yuan suddenly widened her eyes, filled with disbelief. “Impossible! No one will know about that! I’ve kept it very discreet. Even my grandmother doesn’t know!”
She had been very discreet, even the Shen family’s internal people, including her grandmother, didn’t know about it.
How could an outsider like Mei Shu know such a hidden secret?
Could it be that the Shen family had infiltrated spies into their Mei family?
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but feel fear from the bottom of her heart.
Mei Shu kindly reassured her, “Don’t be so nervous. I said I would keep the secret for you, and I will. Besides, you should be able to see that I have no interest in destroying your Shen family.”
“Then, what do you want?” Shen Yuan refused to believe that Mei Shu really had no ulterior motives..
