Old Master Li frowned and closed his eyes with a dark expression on his face. He rubbed his thumb and index finger together as if he was thinking about making an important decision.
After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and looked at the few people who had gathered in front of him. He said, “You guys can leave.”
Sheng Hongfei could not control her joy. She immediately got the maids and butler to help her. “Hurry up and pack up the things that belonged to this pair of mother and daughter. Throw them outside the villa! , it’s best to get rid of this kind of harmful woman, who caused the Li family to suffer, as soon as possible!”
“Old Master, you are really wise. You weren’t fooled by Wu Mei and could make this decision!”
Sheng Hongfei raised her chin smugly. Just as the butler and servant were hesitating, Old Master Li looked at Sheng Hongfei with a dark expression and corrected her, “I’m asking you to pack up and go back overseas…”
“You guys have been back in China for a while now. You guys also need to oversee the Li Corporation’s overseas branch company.”
“Hurry up and go back. You don’t have to worry about domestic affairs.”
Old Master Li’s tone sounded slightly like he was chasing them away. Sheng Hongfei’s eyes widened in disbelief and she questioned Old Master Li, “Are you crazy?”
“You’re actually chasing us away for an outsider?”
“Our surname is Li. It’s perfectly justifiable for us to stay in China or even return to the Corporation’s headquarters… You actually want to chase us out?”
Sheng Hongfei was agitated. Seeing that Old Master Li was unhappy, Li Dongjue was afraid that she would say something wrong that couldn’t be retracted again, so he stood up and pulled her back.
A scheming expression flashed across Li Dongjue’s slightly feminine face. Immediately, he acted sensible and obedient. He pulled Sheng Hongfei back and bowed to Old Master Li and Wu Mei as he said, “Grandpa, Brother, Mom was wrong in this matter. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”
“We’ll leave this weekend. Grandpa, please keep us for a few more days to give us some time to deal with our personal affairs and say our goodbyes.”
When Sheng Hongfei heard that he had agreed, she wanted nothing more than to cover Li Dongjue’s mouth and make him take back his promise.
Just as she was about to retort, Li Dongjue frowned at her, hinting for her to shut up. Sheng Hongfei was slightly stunned. She immediately turned around and looked at Li Zhuo and the couple exchanged glances. Sheng Hongfei realized that they might already have a solution and idea, so she could only swallow the words that were about to leave her mouth.
Sheng Hongfei could feel the Old Master’s gaze on her. Reluctantly, she said, “Yes, we’ll leave this weekend.”

In the evening, Wu Mei went to Bi Fang’s room. When she pushed open the door, she saw him standing in front of the window, his gaze dejected as he performed rehabilitation.
Bi Fang looked down at his hands, which were unable to lift anything heavy. His brows knitted together, unable to conceal his disappointment and frustration. Leaning on his crutches, he wanted to go back to bed, but he realized that Wu Mei had come in at some point in time. In shock, he said, “Why are you here?”
“You want to lie to me that you’ve obtained the Snow Lotus Fruit and make me accept treatment in peace?”
“You’ve lied to me about this for a few days. From tomorrow onwards, I’ll start the treatment according to my plan… Don’t waste your energy.”
Hearing his dejected words, Wu Mei threw the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus Fruit in front of Bi Fang and said calmly, “I’ve already brought it back. You’d better listen to me and treat your illness according to my plan.”
“I guarantee that your hands will recover to their original state and you will continue to be a miracle doctor.”
Bi Fang caught the Snow Lotus Fruit in a panic. He lowered his head and sniffed it. As he scrutinized it, his eyes widened in shock.
“Who the hell are you?”
“How did you get the Snow Lotus Fruit?”
A trace of suspicion rose in Bi Fang’s heart as he stared at Wu Mei. Wu Mei is clearly a rich man’s wife who only knows how to shop and spend money, but she’s now proficient in medicine and can even obtain a Snow Lotus Fruit. This is a rare medicine that even he has never seen before!
Wu Mei crossed her arms and leaned against the bedhead. With a languid expression, she flipped through Bi Fang’s rehabilitation records and said lightly, “Perhaps I was lucky to successfully get whatever I wanted.”
“If you worship me and want to thank me for saving your life and giving you a new life, why don’t you think of something more practical?”
“Like offering yourself to me?”
When Bi Fang heard her outrageous suggestion and was about to refute it, he heard Wu Mei add teasingly as she lifted her eyes, “Since I was the one who saved your hands, you’ll give me half of the money you earn from treating others in the future. This request isn’t too much, right?”
Bi Fang’s mouth was slightly agape as he frowned awkwardly and said, “Is that what you meant?”
Wu Mei chuckled and asked, “What else? What were you thinking?”
