Seeing that Li Zhen was about to get angry, Zhao Ping quickly chimed in, “Grandma Lin is right. It’s all that girl’s fault. But let’s not talk about that now. We should let Ah Zhen rest properly first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open with a “click,” and Mei Shu walked in with a smirk, “Dubious? Are you talking about me?”
Lin Wei was utterly dumbfounded.
She never expected to see Mei Shu again. Almost instinctively, she stood up from the bedside, “What are you doing here?”
Her reaction was off!
Zhao Ping felt something was wrong, “Grandma Lin, do you know her?”
Lin Wei said, “I do. She helped out before, which is why Ah Ming was released from the police station so quickly.”
“What?” Zhao Ping had no idea what to say now!
Kang Wei also panicked. He quickly tugged at Zhao Ping’s sleeve, “What do we do now? Grandma Lin already knows her, so she definitely won’t believe what we said earlier!”
This sudden turn of events happened too quickly. Even Zhao Ping, who usually had a quick mind, was a bit dazed at the moment, unable to react.
Zhao Ping’s mother could tell that things were about to go wrong just by looking at her son’s expression. She quickly tried to smooth things over, “Oh, so you two know each other. Please come in and have a seat. Thank you for staying with Alt Zhen earlier. What’s your name?”
Mei Shu glanced at her without saying a word, silently walked to the bedside, and looked down at Li Zhen, “It seems like there’s nothing serious. I’ll leave first.”
After speaking, she glanced at Li Si, “Our agreement is fulfilled. I hope you can keep your promise.”
She ignored Zhao Ping’s mother, who suddenly felt awkward. The smile on her face froze, and she looked a bit annoyed, “Hey, are you just going to leave like this?”
“What else?” Mei Shu stopped and turned to her, shrugging, “If I don’t leave, I’m afraid I’ll tell others that they tried to force me and drag me to a hotel to violate me.”
Hadn’t you told others that!
Zhao Ping was so angry he gritted his teeth. How despicable!
“Hey, don’t slander me!”
Mei Shu smiled, “Slander you? What does Li Zhen think?”
Li Zhen coughed weakly, “It’s all a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” Mei Shu said, “Okay then, let’s just call it a misunderstanding. Your brother Li Si told me the second condition earlier, which was for me to take care of the Li family’s business more in the future. I was hesitating between agreeing or not, but now I think I can completely forget about it.”
” Wait!” Lin Wei hurriedly stopped her and walked up to her with a smile, “Miss Mei, considering how much I helped you last time, can we sit down and talk things out? If it was really Ah Zhen’s fault, I’ll make sure he apologizes to you.”
“No need.” Mei Shu said indifferently, “Li Zhen did well. He got into a fight with those two to protect me. But you have been friends for many years, right? So I don’t want to have anything to do with your Li family in the future.”
Lin Wei was now sweating profusely, racking her brains to think about the consequences. She hesitated, “Are you saying that Zhao Ping and Kang Wei bullied you first, so Li Zhen fought with them because of that?”
Mei Shu smiled faintly, “I’m quite curious about what version of the story you’ve heard, Grandma.”
After she said that, everything became crystal clear. Lin Wei suppressed her anger and roared, “Zhao Ping! You come and tell me, what really happened?”
Zhao Ping was so flustered that his mind went blank, so he instinctively looked to his mother for help.
His mother could only try her best to speak up for him, “Auntie Lin, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. Zhao Ping has grown up under your care since he was a child. Do you really not understand his character? There must be a misunderstanding! This girl didn’t know Zhao Ping and Kang Wei well, so she must have had some misunderstanding for them. Let me apologize to her on Zhao Ping’s behalf.”
This time Lin Wei couldn’t be deceived easily. She said sternly, “Let him speak for himself!”
Zhao Ping trembled all over and instinctively pushed Kang Wei in front of him.
In a moment, Kang Wei became the target of everyone’s criticism.
Lin Wei glared at him fiercely, while Mei Shu stood by with a mocking look, making him lose the courage to cry out. “Grandma Lin, it’s all my fault. I’ve already apologized to her! I really didn’t mean it!”
“I’m asking you about what you said earlier, about the girl trying to seduce both of you!” Lin Wei said sternly, “Was everything you said at my house just lies?”
Kang Wei’s tears fell uncontrollably, “Grandma Lin, I swear I didn’t lie to you! It’s really a misunderstanding!”
Mei Shu folded her arms and ruthlessly exposed, “A misunderstanding? These two guys were trying to drag me into a hotel room in front of Li Zhen. When I refused, they even blocked me and wouldn’t let me leave. If it weren’t for their excessive behavior, Li Zhen wouldn’t have gotten angry and had a conflict with them. By the way, someone was recording the whole thing at that time. I specially got a copy of the video. Do you want to watch it together?”
