Compensation
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
“Mom! Mei Shu is my biological daughter. I’ve been failing her for so many years. How can 1 fail her again for 250,000 yuan?”
After saying this, Mei Yun paused for a moment, seeming to make some significant decision. When he spoke again, his voice was full of weariness. “Mom, listen to me. You and Second Uncle should come back together. I’ll transfer the money to Mei Shu, and from now on, neither of you should trouble Mei Shu anymore.”
“Son! You’re just in your forties and you’re handing over the company to someone else. How will you live in the future? How will you continue to support me? In the end, you won’t even have a child by your side. Who will take care of you when you’re old? Have you ever thought about this?”
Pan Hua truly believed that her son’s whole life had been ruined by the few children he had with Bai Ling and her!
If Mei Yun had married Wang Yue who was gentle and obedient from the beginning and had a child as likable as Mei Mu, then she could have enjoyed a peaceful family life without having to scheme for the future.
At this moment, Pan Hua never thought about how, if she hadn’t tried to exclude Mei Shu and her siblings from the beginning, Mei Shu wouldn’t have been so distant from her now, let alone reach this point today.
“Mom, 1 know my own affairs. Anyway, you and Second Uncle should come back immediately. Leave the rest to me!” Mei Yun didn’t give Pan Hua a chance to refuse, decisively hanging up the phone.
Mei Shu stood calmly by, observing with folded arms. Then, with a ding, she received a text message on her phone.
The text notification indicated that 500,000 yuan had been deposited into her bank account.
Mei Shu chuckled ironically and, without saying a word, immediately returned 250,000 yuan to Mei Yun. Then she handed her phone to the police officer. “The compensation has been received. Let’s consider this matter settled. 1 hope these two won’t bother my company again in the future.”
“Mei Shu! You’re very good this time, but I won’t let this go so easily!” Pan Hua swore through gritted teeth, glaring at Mei Shu.
Mei Shu shrugged indifferently. “Among those who speak to me like that, you’re not the most difficult, nor the most powerful. Do you think I would take you seriously?”
Seeing that there was finally a solution, the police officer quickly intervened. “Alright, now that the compensation has been received, both of you should sign the reconciliation agreement. Let’s consider this matter closed, and let’s not bring it up again in the future.”
Mei Shu agreed and signed her name at the bottom of the reconciliation agreement.
Then the police officer handed the document to Pan Hua. “Auntie, you should also sign. You were indeed in the wrong. Now that your son has resolved the matter, don’t continue to make trouble for them.”
He could see that although these two were nominally true grandmother and granddaughter, their actual relationship was not even comparable to that of strangers.
He really didn’t know what deep-seated hatred existed between them that had led to today’s situation.
With a resentful glare at Mei Shu, Pan Hua grabbed the reconciliation agreement angrily and signed her name at the back. “Mei Shu, I’ll wait to see your company go bankrupt. Don’t be too pleased. There will be a time when you’ll regret it!”
“There’s no point in saying these useless things. It’s better to think about how to help Mei Cheng reduce his sentence.” Mei Shu casually remarked, “I forgot to tell you, after assisting the police in capturing the kidnapper last night, I also submitted evidence of Mei Cheng’s embezzlement and fraud against Feng Wei. If you want to find a good lawyer to help Mei Cheng reduce his sentence, I’m afraid you’ll have to spend a lot of money!”
“Mei Shu! Do you have to be so ruthless?” Mei Ye couldn’t bear it any longer and stood up.
He felt ashamed that, as an elder, during the confrontation with Mei Shu, he had been at a disadvantage from start to finish!
At his age, he couldn’t believe he was losing to an eighteen-year-old girl. It would be laughable if it got out.
Mei Shu shrugged innocently. “When Mei Cheng kidnapped and extorted, forcing my secretary into prostitution to earn money, did he ever think about not going too far? There are consequences to every action. He’s just reaping what he sowed! 1 even think it’s not enough!”
“Alright! Since that’s the case, let’s wait and see! Our whole Mei family will be your enemies from now on!” Mei Ye left with a fierce statement, coldly snorting before taking the first step to leave.
Pan Hua also snorted at Mei Shu, then followed Mei Ye out.
The police officer sighed deeply and said, “Miss Mei, although I don’t know what exactly happened between you before, why not show some tolerance to each other? And about the arrest of the kidnapper last night, I truly appreciate your assistance.”
Mei Shu smiled and replied, “You’re too kind. It’s the duty of every citizen to help the police. You two have worked hard this time. Let me have my secretary escort you out.”
“No need for that, we can leave on our own,” the police officer declined her offer of courtesy, but hesitated before finally asking what he had been wanting to ask, “Miss Mei, have you been under investigation by the tax bureau these past few days?”
