“We’ll take our leave now, Ah Zhen, take good care and rest well.” Kang Wei said some perfunctory words before leaving with Zhao Ping and the others.
After seeing them off, Lin Wei’s concealed anger erupted completely. She suddenly waved her hand and smashed the teacup on the table, “They came to our house just to calm me down first, then shift all the blame to Mei Shu, so that our family would stand against Mei Shu!”
Li Si hurriedly squatted down to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain, “Grandma, don’t be angry. Mei Shu will definitely hold them accountable. Even if Mei Shu doesn’t take action, Master Si won’t let them off.”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Wei said, “Of course I know that, but I also said a lot of bad things about Mei Shu at the time. She must have heard them.”
Li Si comforted her again, “You don’t need to worry about that. She made it clear when she left just now, saying she appreciated our Alt Zhen’s favor. She won’t deliberately make things difficult for our Li family because of this.”
Still feeling somewhat worried, Lin Wei asked carefully, “So why was Mei Shu with Alt Zhen today?”
Li Zhen explained, “Grandma, actually…”
“It’s because of me.” Li Si admitted voluntarily and recounted the agreement reached with Mei Shu during their last meeting, “So you really don’t need to worry now. Mei Shu and us have a mutually beneficial relationship. She won’t harm our family.”
“That’s good.” Lin Wei finally relaxed completely, “After all, it was Zhao Ping and Kang Wei who caused this. All Zhen has always stood with Mei Shu. We didn’t owe her for this matter, but we should still send something over to comfort her.”
Li Si agreed, “Don’t worry, I’ll bring some gifts to visit Mei Shu’s brothers tomorrow. As long as we please them, Mei Shu will definitely be happy.”
“You’re very mature and reliable in handling things. I’m very reassured. How’s your work at the tax bureau recently? Has your supervisor mentioned when they’ll give you another promotion?” Lin Wei valued Li Si a lot, as he was the only one in their Li family who worked in a government agency. They would have to rely on him for many things in the future.
Li Si nodded confidently, “Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be promoted after the Chinese New Year.”
“Then we’ll have a celebration for you at home when the time comes.” The anger on Lin Wei’s face finally dissipated, replaced by a smile.
Li Zhen also smiled, “Big brother is very capable. Grandma, you don’t have to worry so much in the future. With father and big brother working together, our Li family will surely prosper. You just need to take care of yourself and enjoy life.”
“How do you know that Grandma isn’t looking forward to the day when you succeed?” Lin Wei affectionately tapped his nose, “After you recover from your injuries, I’ll talk to your father and let you start working in the company to gain some experience.”
“Mei Shu, a girl, can manage the Mei Group so well now. You surely can too. When you graduate, you can quickly integrate into the company and share some of the pressure with your father.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to Grandma.” Li Zhen had always been very obedient and sensible in front of Lin Wei, which was why she favored him so much.
Seeing her younger brother regain his spirit, Li Si felt a mix of emotions. While the two of them were talking intimately, he quietly walked to the window, took out his phone, and sent a prepared document to Mei Shu.
It was a scanned copy of an anonymous report letter.
Mei Shu’s phone vibrated when she received the message.
At that moment, she was crossing the street. She had forgotten to notify the driver at home to pick her up from the hospital, and now she didn’t want to continue waiting. She intended to hail a taxi on the street across from the hospital.
Halfway there, she happened to encounter the next red light.
Mei Shu stopped in the waiting area, took out her phone, and glanced at the message.
She enlarged the anonymous letter, shielding the screen from the glaring sunlight, and carefully read the text in the document.
Although anonymous report letters were not allowed to be investigated for the sender’s information, Li Si obviously had his own ideas.
Perhaps when he received this anonymous letter, he had already planned to use it as a condition to exchange for benefits with Mei Shu. So he even attached his own investigation results below the document.
“The informant…”
Mei Shu muttered these three words subconsciously and then swiped the screen to read further. However, at this moment, a motorcycle with a roaring exhaust suddenly rushed over.
The speed of the motorcycle was extremely high, and it was clearly aimed directly at her. By the time she tried to dodge, it was already too late.
In an instant, there were cries of panic all around.
Mei Shu barely managed to avoid the motorcycle, but the front of the bike still collided with her left leg, causing her to lose control and fall to the ground.
But the owner of the motorcycle drove off quickly, leaving behind only a thick trail of exhaust fumes.
“Young lady, are you okay?” Kind-hearted people immediately surrounded her.
Mei Shu’s forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain. “Take me to the hospital.”
