Chapter 524: Face Slapping

“Shen Hai asked me to bring him here.” Mei Shu, as if finally completing a task, walked over to Lu Si’s side and stood there, relieved. Only then did she notice that Lu Si’s eye sockets were somewhat red.
Lu Si’s expression became even more aggrieved as Mei Shu ignored him. If he had a tail, it would have drooped to the ground by now.
Mei Shu sighed deeply. After so many days, she finally spoke to him, “Bring me a chair, my back is sore.”
Lu Si immediately complied, personally dragging over a comfortable and soft chair from the side and helping her sit down.
This smooth and fluid action left everyone stunned, unable to utter a word.
Even Lu Ting couldn’t believe that his usually cold grandson would do such a thing.
“Mei Shu, I, as your elder, am still here. Isn’t it a bit rude for you to sit down like this?” Lu Ting spoke unkindly, finding fault with her.
Mei Shu glanced at him askew and said seriously, “Then, you should sit down too. Today is Lu Si’s engagement party, and 1 am a guest, so 1 won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
Lu Ting was so annoyed by her that his long beard trembled, adding a bit of cuteness to him.
Feeling a tug on her sleeve, Mei Shu looked strangely at Lu Si, who was pitifully pulling at her clothes. “You’re not a guest; you’re the hostess of this engagement party,”
he said, gesturing for her to look at the big screen.
The names of Lu Si and Mei Shu were prominently displayed on it.
It seemed he had been prepared for this, wanting to use the opportunity to win her over.
But how could there be such a good thing?
Mei Shu glanced at it briefly and then looked away, ignoring him. Instead, she turned to Shen Hai and said, “Say what you have to say. After Shen Yuan is taken away by the police, it won’t be as simple for you to see her.”
Shen Hai nodded lightly, his expression still very dull. If it weren’t for his age of only fifty, people might have suspected he had dementia.
After being rebuffed by Mei Shu, Lu Ting could only vent his anger on Shen Hai. He asked angrily, “What exactly are you trying to say? If you want to plead for your daughter, I advise you not to say this.”
Shen Hai opened his mouth, and a droplet of saliva dripped from the corner.
Everyone recoiled in disgust.
However, Shen Hai didn’t seem to care. He mumbled, “I… I want to report a crime. Shen Yuan poisoned me, her biological father. You should arrest her. And the agreement transferring the power of the Shen Group, she forced me to sign it.”
“Her own father accusing his daughter of poisoning?” Everyone was puzzled.
It was well known that Shen Hai had only one daughter. Why would she resort to such extreme measures, risking exposure, to poison her own biological father?
After Shen Hal’s death, wouldn’t everything in the Shen family be inherited by Shen Yuan alone?
“Oh, Shen Hai also has an illegitimate son, who has been raised in a villa in Lin City. Shen Yuan knew all about this, so she couldn’t wait to take action against Shen Hai,” Mei Shu impatiently cut off Shen Hai’s stammering speech, explaining directly.
Lu Ting widened his eyes, pointing at Mei Shu, “How do you know everything?”
Shen Yuan also looked at Mei Shu in shock. “How do you know about this? Did my father tell you?”
“No, I found out myself.” Mei Shu felt somewhat speechless about this and couldn’t help but sigh in public. “Shen Yuan, I don’t know how foolish you are. You couldn’t even find the whereabouts of that illegitimate son. Now I’ve found him for you. No need to thank me.”
“Where is he?” Shen Yuan had tried countless times to extract this information from Shen Hai in the dead of night, using all means at her disposal, but Mei Shu claimed to have found him casually?
Mei Shu took the snack from Lu Si and nibbled on it. “Why should I tell you? Anyway, when you come out of prison, you’ll be able to see him because he’ll have inherited the Shen Corporation by then.”
“Mei Shu!” Shen Yuan shouted at her as if she had gone crazy. “Do you know what you’re doing? Do you know how despicable the man you’re helping is? He’s a scumbag! You actually spoke up for him! You even helped that illegitimate son take the Shen family away from me!”
“If he’s a scumbag, then what about you, who let a group of hooligans gang up on a female high school student? What about you, who indirectly caused another innocent student to be violated? After the incident, you only wanted to use money to settle everything. You even sent your subordinates to sow discord and let the innocent student be hurt by public opinion again. What about you?”
Mei Shu threw away the snacks in her hand and stood up. She walked up to Shen Yuan step by step and pinched her chin.
Shen Yuan, still unwilling, tried to twist her head away, but the next moment, she was forcefully pulled back by Mei Shu, causing her to grimace in pain.
But Mei Shu showed no pity in her eyes. “Everything you’ve done is no different from Shen Hai.. What makes you think you’re a good person?”
