Mei Yun avoided his hand that was covered in unknown liquid in disgust and glared at Wang Yue. “This is your highly praised nephew, huh?”
Wang Yue burst into tears and threw herself into Mei Yun’s arms. “Honey, Ting’er must have been momentarily bewitched by the vixen!”
With that, she winked at her daughter.
Mei Mu, overwhelmed by the situation, was staring blankly at Li Hua. But prompted by her mother, she snapped back to her senses with a start. “Yes, Li… Li Hua, she… she must have been temporarily confused, that’s why she…” She couldn’t even finish her sentence.
Li Hua was staring at her incredulously, disappointment written all over her face.
It was only now that she fully realized that Mei Mu was the most unworthy illegitimate daughter of the Mei family!
In terms of tactics, appearance, character, and means, Mei Mu couldn’t compare to Mei Shu at all, who had just returned from the countryside!
“Fine, very well. If you want to abandon me, then I have nothing left to hide!” Li Hua suddenly pushed away the two bodyguards restraining her, stood tall, and stared at Mei Shu. “I will tell everything about today’s events in detail!” “Oh? Then I must lend an ear and listen carefully,” Mei Shu said casually, glancing at the mother and daughter, his lips curling slightly, displaying a touch of elegance.
Li Hua’s breath caught in her throat.
It was hard to imagine that a girl who grew up in the countryside without anyone’s guidance could still maintain the dignity of a young lady. Ridiculously, she only realized it now!
“Li Hua, well talk about your matter later. Right now, it’s Miss Mei’s welcoming banquet. How about I have someone send you home first? Don’t worry, since the incident happened at our Mei family’s banquet, we will take responsibility for you.”
After saying that, Wang Yue signaled to the bodyguards beside her.
The bodyguards immediately understood and escorted Li Hua away.
Lu Yan sneered and blocked their path, his eyes fixed on Wang Yue. “Auntie, it’s better to clarify this matter face to face. Otherwise, how will Miss Li be able to face anyone in the future?”
“Enough!” Mei Yun pondered for a moment. Although the matter was already clear, he didn’t want the family’s dirty laundry to be aired publicly, so he decided to suppress it for now.
“Young Master Lu, this is ultimately our family matter. I will handle it properly and will not mistreat anyone innocent.”
“Yanyan.” Lu Yan’s mother, Qin Qin, who was already extremely displeased with Lu Yan’s interference. “At this point in the banquet, we have no reason to continue participating. Leave with me.”
“But…” Lu Yan wanted to say something more, but Qin Qin was resolute and directly dragged him away.
With so many people watching, he couldn’t firmly refuse his mother face to face. He could only sigh and whisper a few words to his mother before obtaining her consent. Then, he came to Mei Shu’s side and whispered softly, “Don’t be afraid, no matter what happens, I will support you.”
His words sounded light, but they struck everyone’s ears like a thunderclap.
The young master of the Lu family actually openly declared that he would support Mei Shu!
They knew that the Mei and Lu families had a very good relationship when Bai Ling was still alive. But since Bai Ling’s death, Madam Lu no longer had any contact with the Mei family.
Even when she saw Wang Yue in public, she wore an indifferent expression and was reluctant to talk to her.
It seemed that after Mei Shu’s return, the Mei and Lu families were going to reconcile!
The Mei family would rise again!
They understood it well.
No matter how much Young Master Lu liked Mei Shu, she was still a girl who hadn’t even graduated. The one in power in the Mei family was still Mei Yun. With such an incident happening today, Mei Yun definitely wouldn’t want too much gossip. So they could only advise peace from the sidelines.
“In the end, this matter is Li Hua and Wang Ting’s own affair. Let’s not meddle too much!”
“That’s right! Today’s protagonist is Miss Mei Shu. Let’s not neglect the main character over this trivial matter!”
After Lu Yan finished speaking, he was eventually pulled away by his mother with a cold face.
Mei Yun was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. He quickly had someone send Li Hua home and patiently reassured her. He then accompanied Mei Shu to personally toast the guests, thanking them for attending and showing his hospitality.
After everyone had left, Mei Yun called for Wang Yue and settled accounts in the quiet study.
The room was silent, and once the door was closed, only Mei family members remained. Mei Yun’s face instantly turned cold as he pointed at Wang Yue and angrily scolded, “Do you dare to say that today’s incident has nothing to do with you? You were completely unaware?!”
“This is a misunderstanding! Honey! What benefit would I gain from doing this?” Wang Yue covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably, her shoulders trembling with grievance. “I’ve been busy with countless matters inside and outside for this banquet. How could I bear to arrange for someone to cause trouble? Besides, I have no idea why Li Hua appeared there!”
“You dare to argue!”
Enraged, Mei Yun slammed his hand on the table, his chest aching.. “If it wasn’t at your instigation, why did Li Hua and Wang Ting happen to be in that room?”
