Chapter 69: Chapter 69 The Wicked Stepmother’s Shameless Blackmail
Ye Shu’s cheeks were flushed with a slight red, and her heart was somewhat flustered.
Her fingertips touched the phone screen, yet she lacked the courage to dial Sheng Shaochen’s number.
Ye Shu, oh Ye Shu, what’s gotten into you?
Hadn’t you already trained yourself to be fearless? So why can’t you even make a phone call?
She even mocked Sheng Shaochen once, asking if he had a phobia of telephone communication.
Now, she truly resembled someone with that kind of anxiety.
Ye Shu scratched her somewhat messy hair and threw the phone onto the bedside table, flipping the blanket over her head.
She only felt a wave of heat rising from her face, continuously burning, spreading, and sweeping through her body.
“Ye Shu, Ye Shu, get out here!” Wen Meilan’s harsh voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
It was closely followed by Guan Jiu’s indifferent voice, “Madam, this is a hospital, please don’t raise your voice!”
“You again?” Wen Meilan had seen this grim-faced man twice.
Once at the engagement banquet at the hotel, and the other time at Ye Mansion when this man drove away with Ye Shu in his car.
“I see, you must be Ye Shu’s sugar daddy, right? Good that you’re here. I’m looking for Ye Shu, I am her mother!”
Wen Meilan said as she reached out to push the door of the ward.
But her wrist was firmly clutched by Guan Jiu.
Guan Jiu’s arms were strong from long-term exercise, and with such a forceful grip, how could Wen Meilan endure it?
She cried out in pain, “Let go, let go! I, I am your future mother-in-law.”
“Mother-in-law? Wen Meilan, you really are fearless with your words.” Ye Shu crawled out from under the blankets and looked at the scene at the door, finding it utterly ridiculous.
Wen Meilan’s shamelessness was reaching new heights.
“Ye Shu, I knew you were inside. Don’t think that just because you’ve found yourself a sugar daddy you can disown your relatives. No matter what, I am still your mother!”
“Stepmother!” Ye Shu said with an indifferent smile, her eyes shimmering with stars, sparkling so brightly that it momentarily disoriented Wen Meilan.
But Wen Meilan quickly recomposed herself, “Stepmother is still a mother. Don’t forget that I’m legally married to your dad, and by law, I am your mother. You may disrespect me, thinking you’re still too young to understand, but some things, we need to settle properly.”
Wen Meilan spoke and again tried to force her way in but was directly stopped by Guan Jiu’s extend hand.
Ye Shu gave a faint smile, “Guan Jiu, let her in.”
Guan Jiu hesitated for a moment, concern evident in his eyes, “Miss Ye…”
“With you here, how could she possibly cause trouble?” Ye Shu nodded at Guan Jiu, signaling her trust in him.
Guan Jiu’s expression became stern as he obediently withdrew his hand.
“I told you that the brat is my daughter!” Seeing that Guan Jiu obeyed Ye Shu, Wen Meilan immediately became arrogant, glaring fiercely at Guan Jiu several times before she would enter.
She walked all the way to Ye Shu’s bedside and sneered mockingly, “Tsk tsk, looking at how frail you are, your sugar daddy hasn’t drained you of your health, has he?”
“Wen Meilan, don’t tell me you went through all this trouble just to throw a few insults my way? That would be laughable.”
Ye Shu didn’t even bother to lift her eyelids and laughed derisively with her hand covering her mouth.
The light danced in her eyes, indescribable, enchanting.
Wen Meilan was always pained by the dazzling beauty that radiated from Ye Shu.
It was as if she was seeing Su Mei from years past, which filled her with envy.
“Just sign this agreement, and from then on, we’re done with each other!” Wen Meilan angrily tossed an agreement onto the bedside table.
