When Wu Mei and Li Nanchen arrived at the sanatorium, the sounds of an intense argument and of things being smashed could be heard in the ward.
The patients and their families, who were crowding around to watch the show, discussed how pitiful Mother Wu was. They did not see her children. On the contrary, it was her divorced husband, who had remarried, that often came to take care of her.
Wu Mei sensed that something was amiss and pretended to ask around, “You guys said that her ex-husband comes here often?”
“That’s right. Especially in the past few days. He brought various snacks and flowers along with him every day. He often pushes her to the garden to bask in the sun!”
“He seems very caring!”
Wu Mei narrowed her eyes. She guessed that Wu Pang was trying to curry favor with Mother Wu in order to reap some benefits!
Li Nanchen and her entered the ward. They then saw the mentally unsound Mother Wu hiding behind Wu Pang and looking at the medical staff with hostility as she mumbled, “I don’t want to live here. I want to go home with him! Don’t come over!”
“Mom, I’m Wu Mei!”
Seeing that she only trusted Wu Pang, Wu Mei frowned and glanced at Wu Pang’s smug face.
The medical staff explained the current situation and said to Wu Mei, “The patient’s emotions are extremely unstable. The hospital has also agreed for her to go home and live with her relatives. This will be beneficial for her subsequent recovery. If she continues causing a ruckus, she will also affect the other patients…”
Wu Mei nodded and invited them out. She looked at Wu Pang indifferently and asked, “You want to take her back to live with you?”
He can’t possibly be so kind-hearted!
Wu Pang said, “She only trusts me now. Of course she has to stay with me! But you wouldn’t want her to stay with me in the hotel, would you? She should go back to the Wu Family’s villa!”
“She has memories of that place and it will be beneficial to her illness!”
“I need to take care of her, so I have to move back! Wu Mei, we need to move back to the villa to stay!”
Wu Pang, who did not have the executive authority to manage the company, had already squandered the meagre amount of money he had. He was so poor that he could only target Mother Wu!
Wu Pang negotiated terms with Wu Mei. He was certain that the filial Wu Mei would agree to his terms. Otherwise, he would spread the matter online and use public opinion to force her to give in. Yang Shan had come up with this emotional blackmail on his behalf…
“Memories? Was it the memories of personally witnessing you and Yang Shan having an affair, or the memories of you guys forcing her to sign the divorce agreement and resulting in her mental breakdown?”
“Wu Pang, you’re really so thick-skinned that I can’t believe it!”
“You don’t have any money to continue staying in the hotel suite, right? Wu Yi has squandered most of the money and you guys are going to be chased out soon?”
“How dare you think of such despicable tricks!” Wu Mei exposed Wu Pang’s disguise. Wu Pang was so angry that his fats were trembling as he stared at Mother Wu.
Mother Wu was agitated by him and went berserk again. She clamored to be with Wu Pang and insisted that she would never leave him!
“You saw everything! If I leave now, she definitely won’t be able to live on!” Wu Pang tried to use this as a threat.
He had tied himself to Mother Wu, so that Wu Mei would not be able to ditch him.
Li Nanchen held her shoulder comfortingly and wanted to solve the current problem for her, but Wu Mei turned him down
Her lips curled up into a sneer. Clearly, she already had an idea in mind. “Alright, you guys pack your things and move back to the villa!”
“Hmph! You still have to invite me back in the end!”
Wu Pang was smug. After getting her assurance, he immediately contacted Yang Shan and Wu Yi, who had been waiting in the hotel for a long time, and got them to move the things they had packed to the Wu family’s house.
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen settled the discharge procedures and brought them back to the villa.
The familiar place made Mother Wu feel an inexplicable sense of security. She stood there obediently and quietly.
Wu Mei called for the butler and nanny. Pointing at the small building that the servants were staying in, she said, “Could I trouble you to clean up a few rooms over there? They will move in today.”
“Wu Mei! You’ve gone too far!”
Wu Pang was shocked. He did not expect Wu Mei to make them stay in the servant building which was a huge difference in terms of living conditions.
Wu Mei glanced at him indifferently and said, “I’m already very generous to let you guys come back to the Wu family. You can live in the servant building and take care of Mom during the day. Besides, the servant building has all the necessary appliances and daily necessities. Why can’t it be lived in?”
Wu Pang was indignant. He jostled Mother Wu and said persuasively, “Look at this! Your daughter doesn’t want us to live in the same building!”
“I’m still the best to you… You have to live in the same building as me, right? You want me to move back to the villa to stay…”
Seeing that he dared to make use of Mother Wu in front of her, Wu Mei interrupted Wu Pang sternly and said with a frown, “Shut up!”
