After enduring a long wait, the bell finally rang. The boy rushed excitedly to Mei Mu’s side, but in his haste, he accidentally slammed her desk with considerable force.
Mei Mu was visibly startled by his sudden action and innocently blinked at him, “Is there something, Liu Kai?”
Liu Kai hesitated for a moment, realizing what he had just done in a fit of anger, and felt overwhelmed with guilt. “Mei Mu, I’m sorry for being so impulsive. I just wanted to confirm something with you.”
The commotion he caused drew the attention of their classmates, who pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Mei Mu blushed slightly, lowered her head, and her voice sounded a bit pitiful. “Let’s talk outside.”
“No need to go out. Let’s talk right here.” He wanted everyone to hear her goddess’s explanation so that there wouldn’t be any more misunderstandings!
Mei Mu couldn’t resist his insistence and thought he might be about to confess to her. She had already prepared herself on how to politely reject him later.
But to her surprise, Liu Kai opened his mouth and asked a question she could never have expected.
“What’s your relationship with the guy who was with you at Zhou Li’s party yesterday?”
My goddess, please say he’s your relative! If you say it, I’ll believe you!
Liu Kai desperately winked at Mei Mu.
Mei Mu put down her paper and crossed her arms, casually watching the show.
Everyone else in the classroom was also curious about the question, so the room fell into an eerie silence, afraid to miss Mei Mu’s answer.
Mei Mu never expected him to ask this question in front of everyone. The blush on her face quickly faded, leaving only confusion and embarrassment. “Why, why are you asking this? And how do you know about what happened at Zhou Li’s party yesterday?”
“Someone took pictures!” Liu Kai showed her the photos. “I said that guy must be your brother, but nobody believed me!”
As Mei Mu pinched the edge of the photo, her fingertips turned pale.
She never expected that this incident would be captured in pictures and spread to the school!
Was it Mei Shu’s doing?
She raised her head abruptly, casting a resentful glance at Mei Shu, only to meet his icy-cold eyes.
Her heart tightened, and she lowered her head, her voice weak as she said, “He’s not my brother.”
Mei Mu had thought it through. If this matter was truly orchestrated by ATei Shu, then Lu Yan might have been involved.
Lu Yan had seen Zhang Jiao. If he testified against her, any lie she told would be easily exposed.
She didn’t want to get into trouble, so she decided to deny it and use another approach to garner sympathy.
After speaking, she began to cry, “He, he’s my father’s business partner. We’ve only met once. My father asked me to accompany him at the party, to be his companion. 1 had no choice since I’m a daughter of the Mei family, and I couldn’t refuse. So, it was all just an act.”
Her words twisted her previous attempts to please Zhang Jiao into a pitiful tale, making people feel even more sorry for her.
Liu Kai’s eyes turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked. “Goddess, you’ve sacrificed too much for the Mei family! Don’t worry, I won’t let you be wronged in school anymore! Whoever dares to bring this up again will have to deal with me!”
As he said this, he glanced at Wen Miao with a hint of reproach. “My goddess has endured so much for her family, but some people can enjoy life without doing anything, just acting like a little princess. Why doesn’t anyone mock her for being useless?”
Mei Mu reached out and grabbed Liu Kai’s arm. “Don’t say that. As a member of the Mei family, it’s my duty to do these things.”
“I have to say that!” Liu Kai became angrier the more Mei Mu tried to persuade him, and he wished he could double the grievances that Mei Mu suffered and direct them all towards Mei Shu!
“Some people don’t do anything themselves and yet want to win people over to fight for them. They’re just cowards! Why should she enjoy everything my goddess worked so hard for?”
Wen Miao could no longer contain her anger and stood up, retorting directly, “Stop with your insinuations! Everyone knows who you’re talking about. If you want to talk about how much Mei Mu has done for her family, why don’t you mention that she’s the daughter of a mistress? She’s been enjoying the fruits of her mother’s home-wrecking act for all these years!”
Liu Kai angrily shouted, “Even though my goddess joined the Mei family later, her mother wasn’t a mistress. On the contrary, it was Mei Shu’s mother who forcefully intervened in someone else’s relationship and pressured Mei Mu’s father to marry her. Now, everything Mei Mu has is what she deserves!” “Deserves it? Are you kidding me? Once they are married, they become a legitimate couple. I refuse to believe that her father was forced to marry another woman against his will. Since the man was already married, why did Mei Mu’s mother still give birth to her? If she really wanted to have a child, that’s fine, but why did she have to bring the child to the man? Even a fool can see what she’s up to!”
Although Wen Miao had never been so angry before, it didn’t mean she had a good temper.
After all, who wasn’t a pampered little girl at home?
Why should she be humiliated in front of so many people by Liu Kai?
