Chapter 8
Not to mention Mei Mu, even Wang Yue felt that Mei Shu was the most suspicious. After all, which servant would dare to mess with their employers like this? Mei Yan and Mei Mu would occasionally bicker, but their relationship was not that bad. Only Mei Shu, who had left the Mei family for five years and was not under her control, was the most unpredictable.
In order to appear less targeted at Mei Shu, Wang Yue instructed Zhao Yan, who had just arrived, to gather everyone in the living room and question them one by one.
Five minutes later, just as everyone was gathered, Mei Yun returned from outside.
Mei Yun looked at Mei Mu, who was wrapped up in a headscarf with only her eyes revealed, and asked in surprise, “What’s going on?”
When Mei Mu saw her father, she immediately cried and ran forward to tell him what had happened. Then, she pointed a finger at Mei Shu again. “Dad, it must be Mei Shu! She snatched my room as soon as she came back yesterday. She must be jealous that I can be by your side. But compared to her, I’ve only been by your side for a few years.”
Mei Yun had always felt guilty to Mei Shu for not being able to accompany Mei Mu since she was young. When he heard this, he frowned and looked at Mei Shu. “Mei Mu only returned to the Mei family five years ago. Is it necessary for you to do this just for a room? Also, was it you who did this to your sister? If you tell the truth now, I’ll take it as you just came back from the countryside and are insensible. You can just apologize and return the room as an apology.”
Mei Yun considered that the two of them were biological sisters and wanted them to both take a step back. He thought that his actions were very fair, but he forgot that it was his disloyalty to his marriage that led to this situation. What he had failed the most was his first wife! However, he had long forgotten about her.
Mei Shu sneered in her heart. Although she knew Mei Yun’s biased attitude, she still felt extremely disgusted of being questioned without any investigation, instead of being shown any concern the first day she returned after five years.
Mei Shu looked aggrieved. “Dad, Mom specially prepared that room for me. I stayed in it because of an old memory.”
“As for Mei Mu, I’m also very helpless to be wrongly accused early in the morning. I shouldn’t be doubted and not treated as part of the family just because I had just returned from the countryside. Many people just saw it – it was Aunt Wang who went back to her room to get the spare key to open the door. If it was me, how did I get into the locked room? And how did I get out?”
Mei Shu’s words made sense to everyone present. In the Mei family, other than the room owner who would have a key, the other spare keys were all in the master bedroom under Wang Yue’s supervision. Mei Shu hadn’t left the house since she arrived at the Mei family yesterday. Even if she stole the key, she wouldn’t have the time to get a duplicate key made.
No matter how they investigated, they found no clue. There was no evidence to point to anyone. Mei Mu couldn’t be seen by outsiders, so they naturally couldn’t call the police. Hence, they could only disperse.
Mei Shu had breakfast and went to school with Mei Yan. Mei Mu couldn’t go out at all in her current state, so she could only take a day off.
Without Mei Mu’s interference, Mei Shu successfully completed registering in the new school.
Mei Shu was ranked last in all the schools in town, so based on her grades, she could only sit in the last row.
Everyone was very curious about this new classmate. Although prolonged malnutrition had left her complexion somewhat pale, she had inherited Bai Ling’s good genes, giving her a weak and delicate beauty.
However, at Lincheng No.1 High School, instead of beauty, everyone paid more attention to academic performance. When they saw Meishu’s grades, everyone automatically classified her as a beautiful vase with poor academic performance.
Mei Shu had already been lying in bed for 10 years in her previous life. Now listening to classes was like listening to a book from the heavens. She felt a bit anxious, but fortunately, she was studying humanities, which mostly relied on rote memorization. Watching the head teacher who was earnestly writing mathematical formulas on the stage, Mei Shu silently apologized and took out her English book to memorize vocabulary.
[A new mission has come. Write down 50 new English vocabulary words from the English textbook from memory in 10 minutes. The timer starts now.]
Mei Shu frowned. If she had such a memory, would she still be at the bottom of the class?!
But there was no way around it. When the task came, she had to do it. Mei Shu quickly looked up the new words after each lesson and started memorizing the simple words.
[Time’s up, start writing!]
With Little Eight’s command, all the words in Mei Shu’s eyes turned into mosaics. Hence, she quickly took out a pen and paper and started writing, afraid that she would forget a word if she was a second slower.
Eight minutes later, Little Eight looked at the full 50 words and was surprised to find 1-15 English numbers among them. [Master, according to my scan, there are 10 English numbers that didn’t appear in the textbook… Task failed!]
