Chapter 43: Situation Reversal
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Yan’s heartfelt concern and defense for Mei Shu were evident to Mei Mu.
She was so jealous that her eyes turned red, but she could only clench her fists tightly, forcing out a teardrop of grievance. “Brother Lu Yan, I knew you would believe in Sister just like me!”
Lu Yan glared at her.
It was precisely because he believed in Mei Shu that he suspected that this was a scheme of Wang Yue and Mei Mu to slander Mei Shu!
Mei Mu’s heart trembled under his stare. Although she was very scared, she couldn’t help but be captivated by his handsomeness again. For a moment, she was so fascinated by his handsome face that she even forgot the lines she had prepared.
Now, everyone’s attention was drawn to Lu Yan again, naturally not missing the scene where Lu Yan was glaring at Mei Mu.
Although no one dared to offend the Lu family, some couldn’t help but sympathize with Mei Mu when they saw her pitiful expression after being scolded. “Young Master Lu, ultimately, this matter was caused by Mei Shu herself and has nothing to do with Miss Second. You don’t really need to show displeasure towards Miss Second.”
“Is it your place to intervene with who I am showing displeasure to?” Lu Yan was currently enraged and would vent his frustration on anyone he caught, regardless of who they were.
Qin Qin’s expression changed, not because her son’s words would offend people, as the Lu family was not afraid of offending anyone.
She was just shocked by her son’s affection for Mei Shu!
Lu Yan was almost eighteen now. He had always been a calm and self-contained child, indifferent to everything around him. This was the first time she had seen Lu Yan lose control like this!
All because of that girl Mei Shu!
“Yan Yan, go to the adjacent room and calm down for a moment.”
“I am perfectly calm right now!” Lu Yan clenched his fists and stared fixedly at the woman on the screen who was still moaning. “That is definitely not Mei Shu. Even if it is her, she must be framed! I demand to immediately bring a doctor to examine Mei Shu’s body!””
He could only pray now that the woman whose face was completely covered in the video had nothing to do with Mei Shu.
Otherwise…
Lu Yan couldn’t bear to think any further!
How could Wang Yue dare to have someone examine Mei Shu?
She quickly anxiously called for someone to shut down the video, but in reality, she sent her trusted confidant to destroy the evidence!
Anyway, everyone had seen enough of what she wanted them to see. Mei Shu had nowhere to hide!
No matter how difficult she had been to deal with in the past, from now on, she would have to let herself be manipulated!
Just as everyone was watching the commotion on both sides with an attitude of watching a joke, a cold and puzzled voice suddenly interjected, “Lu Yan, why did you suddenly ask someone to examine me?”
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lu Yan almost immediately turned his head and saw Mei Shu, supported by Mei Feng, outside the crowd. His anxious heart finally found its place.
Mei Mu stared at Mei Shu incredulously, her body suddenly feeling as if it had fallen into an icy abyss. Her hands and feet couldn’t help trembling. “How… how did you get here?”
“Isn’t this my welcome banquet? As the protagonist, 1 should naturally appear in person to thank everyone for coming to support me!” Mei Shu spoke lightly, and then looked at the tall boy beside her with an affectionate expression. “Thank you, Ah Feng, for helping me here.”
“No need to thank me.” The boy stood by her side with a cold expression, as if he had no connection to anything that was happening.
Only Mei Shu could feel how firm and strong the arm supporting her waist was.
Wang Yue was completely dumbfounded on the stage, her mouth agape as if her jaw was about to drop to the ground. She stared blankly in Mei Shu’s direction.
The noise around suddenly quieted down in an instant, and only the lewd sounds from the speakers of the big screen could be heard.
Mei Yun was the first to react.
He ran through the crowd and reached Mei Shu’s side, taking a quick look at his daughter’s neat attire from head to toe. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. “Where did you go just now?”
“Dad, I’m sorry. I haven’t seen my eldest brother for a long time, so I wanted to talk to him a bit more. I didn’t expect to lose track of time.”
Mei Shu’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough for everyone present to hear.
People’s eyes began to scan the screen again.
The real Mei Shu was standing right in front of them, so who was the woman in the video?
Some of the ladies, who had been led astray in their thinking, quickly regained their senses.
After mingling in the upper-class society for so long, how could they not understand such lowly tricks!
Someone couldn’t bear it any longer and took the lead to question in a sarcastic tone, “Speaking of which, we never saw that woman’s face in the video.. How did Lady Mei know that the person in the footage is Miss Mei Shu?”
