Chapter 47: Disassociate Themselves from the Matter

“Darling, we’ve been together for over a decade. Don’t you already know the kind of person I am? If I truly wanted to harm Mei Shu and couldn’t tolerate her, why would I bring her here? It would be better for her to fend for herself in the countryside.”
“You!” Mei Shu widened his eyes, realizing that Wang Yue was speaking the truth.
Besides, over the years, even though Mei Shu wasn’t present at home, Wang Yue had taken good care of the other children. Even if she made some mistakes, they were not significant faults. As a stepmother, Wang Yue was impeccable.
Thinking about this, Mei Shu sighed deeply and said, “I understand how difficult it has been for you, but this matter has blown up too much. We must find an impeccable solution to resolve it. Otherwise, the reputation of the Mei Shu family will be irreparable.”
Wang Yue had already figured out how to solve this matter, but she couldn’t speak directly, fearing that Mei Shu would suspect her of being scheming. She had to be indirect and said, “Ultimately, this is an issue between Li Hua and Wang Ting. Today’s young people are not as conservative as we were back then. Moreover, they are both adults, and any impulsive actions they take are their own choices.”
Mei Shu frowned and looked at her, instantly understanding her meaning. “If the two of them are willing, then this incident can be considered an ordinary accident.”
“Darling, I know you have never liked Wang Ting, considering him lazy and useless. But he is still our nephew!”
Wang Yue saw his wavering in his words and quickly went behind him, gently patting his shoulder to please him. “Even if he lacks talent, he still comes from a respectable family. We are his aunt and uncle, and naturally, we can support him with our background. And as for Li Hua, her family background is ordinary. Even if she wants to marry, she might not find a boy with a better family background than Wang Ting.”
Mei Shu was somewhat vain and caught the subtle hints of Wang Yue’s attempt to elevate the status of the Mei family. He sat upright, assuming the demeanor of the head of the Mei Shu family, and pondered, “If we consider that aspect, Wang Ting can indeed be considered a suitable match.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue’s eyes sparkled with a scheming gleam. “Since they have this fate, why not let them interact and see if they truly get along? If they become a good couple, then everyone will be happy.”
Mei Yun frowned, still having some concerns.
Wang Yue continued persuading, “Furthermore, even if they don’t end up together, that would be a matter for the future. Resolving the current impasse is the priority.”
Mei Shu’s doubts were completely dispelled, and he smiled approvingly, “You’re right, my dear wife. However, this incident is rather shameful for the girl. I’m afraid Li Hua would be reluctant to see Wang Ting again. We need a suitable mediator to make this happen.”
“Dad.” Mei Mu, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly spoke up, “Li Hua is my good friend. If you trust me, let me handle this matter.”
Mei Shu smiled satisfactorily, “You’re a sensible daughter. If you can resolve this, I will reward you handsomely.”
As long as Li Hua spoke up and clarified her relationship with Wang Ting in public, the Mei family could completely disassociate themselves from the matter. As for whether the two of them could have a lasting relationship, that was up to them.
After all, it was common for young people to date and eventually break up. No one could guarantee that a relationship would last just because they had had sex.
With the decision made, Mei Shu felt a heavy burden lifted from his heart. He took a deep breath and looked at Mei Mu with a tender gaze, “We can’t delay any longer to avoid unexpected changes. You should get down to it now.”
“Okay,” Mei Mu agreed and, as she turned around, exchanged a secret glance with her mother, Wang Yue. Both understood the relief in each other’s eyes.
Today, they didn’t succeed in plotting against Mei Shu, but as long as Mei Yun still trusted them and didn’t become completely angry with them, they would have plenty of opportunities!
As for Li Hua.
Only one thing Wang Yue said earlier had come from the heart.
Even if Wang Ting was not outstanding and seemed mediocre, he was still the Mei family’s nephew and was not someone Li Hua could climb up to with her status.
After things settle down, Wang Yue would find a reason for Wang Ting to dump Li Hua!
If a man from the Wang family wanted to marry, he must find a woman who would be useful for the family’s development!
On the other hand.
Mei Shu was stopped by a group of black-clad individuals as he left the banquet.
At the same time, the system’s voice sounded in her mind once again.
< Master, please complete a commissioned task within 30 minutes.>
Commissioned task?
Before Mei Shu could figure out where to find the commissioned task, one of the black-clad men in front of him spoke in a deep voice, “Miss, I apologize for disturbing you, but our young master… would like to meet a certain Sister. We have no idea where to find her, and when we saw you earlier, you have a good appearance and amiable temperament. We were wondering if you could help soothe our young master.”
Soothe a child?
This task was something she was good at!
