Chapter 105: Wrath
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Hua witnessed everything and felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
All the humiliation she had suffered because of Mei Mu was now being repaid twofold, and she was exhilarated almost to the point of madness.
But it wasn’t enough.
Mei Mu had only lost face in the class, but what Li Hua wanted was to ruin Mei Mu’s reputation in front of everyone!
The drama ended with Liu Kai’s apology and Mei Mu’s departure.
The affairs of the Mei family spread throughout the school.
After hearing about it, Lu Yan came to comfort Mei Shu, not wanting her to carry any psychological burden.
However, Mei Shu acted as if nothing had happened and continued to sit at her desk, diligently working on her assignments. Throughout the day, Mei Shu not only didn’t fall behind in her studies, but she also received numerous rewards from the system, amassing a wealth of points.
In the evening, after school, AAei Mu went to the piano room to practice for a while before being escorted home by Lu Yan.
As soon as she entered the house, Mei Shu felt the tense atmosphere.
Mei Yan stood nervously in the living room, wearing a stubborn look, tears swirling in his eyes.
Mei Jing also stood beside Mei Yan, clenching his fists, seemingly in a confrontation with someone.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, they both looked towards Mei Shu in unison, their eyes filled with unwillingness and concern.
On the other side of the sofa, Mei Mu was already crying in Wang Yue’s arms, and Mei Yun sat next to her, radiating anger that permeated the entire villa.
Zhao Yan gave her a signal with his eyes, indicating not to enter the house just yet.
Mei Shu saw it but acted as if she didn’t notice.
This was her home; why shouldn’t she be allowed to come back?
“Do you still have the face to step into this house? Do you hold any respect for me as your father?” Mei Yun was furious, and with a bang, he grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it at Mei Shu.
Mei Jing quickly pushed Mei Shu away and took the blow for her, getting hit by the teacup, which broke his head, causing blood to flow.
Wang Yue hugged Mei Mu, itching with hatred. As the teacup hadn’t hit Mei Shu, she felt unsatisfied. It didn’t take out enough of her anger at all!
“Honey, Mumu suffered so much humiliation at school today. The college entrance examination is approaching. How will our child face the world in the future?”
Mei Yun pointed at Mei Shu with rage, “Tell me, why did you insult your sister in front of the entire class today, accusing her of being a mistress’ daughter and spreading rumors about me cheating on my previous wife? What did I do to deserve this? Since you came back, I’ve done everything for you. Am I not good enough to you?”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but sneer in her heart.
He hadn’t done anything wrong to her? Was he truly blameless in his treatment of her mother?
But Mei Shu knew that she was not yet strong enough, and she still had to protect her four younger brothers. Some of the shares in the company were still under Mei Yun’s control. If she fell out with him now, it would fulfill Wang Yue’s wish.
She wouldn’t let Wang Yue and her daughter take advantage!
All of that belonged to her mother!
“Dad,” Mei Shu took a deep breath and closed her eyes, suppressing her anger as she said, “You want to hit me as soon as 1 come back without even asking me anything. Can you dare to say this isn’t because you favor Sister over me? I know you have been good to me, but Mei Mu’s words are just one side of the story. 1 also have something to say!”
“Fine! Speak up! I want to see if you can come up with a reasonable explanation!” Mei Yun snorted coldly, sitting back on the sofa. His chest was heaving up and down, clearly on the verge of exploding in anger.
Mei Shu carefully tended to Mei Jing’s wound with tissue before she turned her gaze towards Mei Yun, “Dad, from the time 1 can remember, 1 knew that you had a deep affection for my mother. 1 know you can’t forget her in your heart, or else you wouldn’t care about my brothers and me. You are my biological father, and of course, 1 don’t want to defame you, but 1 also don’t want to hear anyone defame my mother!”
“Today, Mei Mu kept saying my mother was a mistress, shameless for ruining the relationship of Aunt Wang and you. How can 1 tolerate that? My love for you and my mother is the same! If you don’t believe me, you can ask around the class. Have 1 ever said anything against you! It’s Mei Mu slandering my deceased mother! I’m just speaking the truth!”
“Mei Mu.” Mei Jing’s fist creaked by his side.
He had never liked Mei Mu and Wang Yue, but since they were his father’s wife and daughter, he turned a blind eye and endured without losing his temper. But what Mei Shu said today had pushed him to his limit.
“Mei Jing, wh-what do you want to do?” Mei Mu shrank into her mother’s arms in fear. “Don’t listen to Mei Shu’s nonsense! I’ve never said that! Don’t forget, it was her who caused Aunt Bai Ling’s death! She’s the real culprit behind everything!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Mei Jing roared and rushed towards Mei Mu.
Mei Mu screamed in fright, and Wang Yue quickly shielded her daughter.
Seeing Mei Jing was about to grab Mei Mu’s hair, Mei Yun roared again to stop the chaos in the living room.
His face was dark and his eyes were sharp as they fell on Mei Mu. “Is what she said just now true?”
Mei Mu desperately shook her head, tears flowing. “No, Father, don’t listen to her lies!”
Mei Yun took a deep breath and said, “What did you mean when you said earlier that Mei Shu caused Bai Ling’s death?”
