Chapter 90: Confrontation in the Villa
“Brother Nanchen, the Old Master can sit up now. The doctor said that he’s recovering well and his vital signs are slowly recovering.”
“He keeps saying that he wants to go home and wants to see you. Director Xu and Dad discussed and decided to bring him back to the villa. We’ll also move here to take care of him!”
Lin Piaopiao fiddled with her shoulder strap shyly and approached Li Nanchen in a seductive manner. She stole a glance at him and thought to herself,?Since he has divorced Wu Mei, he will definitely marry her according to the agreement!
“I moved here beforehand so that I can take care of you…”
“Brother Nanchen, when are you going to…” Marry me?
Before Lin Piaopiao could finish her sentence, she saw a figure push open the door and walk in. As if she had seen a ghost, she shrieked, “Wu Mei?!”
Li Nanchen ignored Lin Piaopiao. Supporting Wu Mei by the shoulder, he whispered, “Done resting?”
Lin Piaopiao raised her hand in shock and pointed at Wu Mei with a trembling finger as she said, “You and Brother Nanchen are already divorced, yet you’re still shamelessly pestering him! Hurry up and get lost. The Li Family won’t tolerate a woman like you staying on!”
“A woman like me?” Wu Mei sneered.
Weakly, she slumped onto the sofa and picked up the teacup naturally. Her brows knitted together when she tasted the bitter taste in her mouth.
“I’m Li Nanchen’s ex-wife after all. Who are you to run to a man’s house and refuse to leave? Your skin is thicker than the city wall, isn’t it?”
“Don’t daydream! I’m in a bad mood now and don’t have time to play with you..”
Seeing that she was a little jealous, Li Nanchen secretly chuckled to himself and left Lin Piaopiao in the lurch as he asked the butler to brew some tea for her again.
Hearing the commotion, Lin Liguo pushed Old Master Li out of the bedroom.
“Grandpa? How are you feeling? Are you still unwell?” Wu Mei stood up and asked softly and nervously.
She saw that Old Master Li’s face was much rosier than when she had left. It was obvious that with Director Xu keeping watch, Lin Liguo did not continue to do anything underhanded and was taking good care of Grandpa.
When Old Master Li saw Li Nanchen and Wu Mei standing together, he instantly grinned from ear to ear.
“Good, Mei’er. When I see you, my entire body doesn’t hurt anymore!”
“You seem to have lost some weight. You must have suffered outside! When we get home, get the nanny to make soup for you to nourish your body!”
Old Master Li held Wu Mei’s hand. Looking at Wu Mei, who was half-squatting in front of him, he patted her face gently, his eyes filled with heartache.
Lin Piaopiao was so jealous that her eyes turned red.?She has been living in the villa for more than half a month. Even when she fawns over him, he would not smile at her. What does Wu Mei have?
“President Li, what do you mean by this?”
“We agreed on the terms back then. I’ll treat Old Master Li and you’ll divorce Wu Mei. Are you planning to break your promise now?” Lin Liguo questioned him with an unfriendly expression.
Afraid that Wu Mei would misunderstand his grandson, Old Master Li wanted to interrupt. However, he heard Li Nanchen say coldly, “I won’t touch you on Grandpa’s account, but you’d better understand that you’re just Grandpa’s attending physician and have no right to order me to do anything!”
“Know your place and I will treat you fairly.”
“Otherwise, you know the consequences…” Li Nanchen narrowed his eyes threateningly. Lin Liguo’s throat tightened in fear.
However, he looked at Old Master Li who was seated in the wheelchair. He straightened his back and struggled to speak, “President Li, I was the one who treated Old Master Li’s illness. There was a video of you acceding to my request back then! The collateral branches of the Li Family can also prove that. Are you planning to go back on your word?!”
Lin Liguo mustered his courage and said harshly, “I can disseminate the news online and see whose side the netizens will stand on!”
Wu Mei quietly listened to him talk. Suddenly, she stared at him with a sneer and asked, “Was it really you who treated Grandpa’s illness?”
“Of course! Director Xu saw it with his own eyes. How can it be fake?”
Lin Liguo felt guilty and his eyes darted around. He added, “You claim that I wasn’t the one who treated him. Do you have evidence?!”
When Wu Mei snuck into the hospital, she had been bent on curing Grandpa and did not keep any evidence.
Lin Liguo stubbornly stood his ground.
“Of course I don’t have any evidence.”
Wu Mei shrugged and mocked, “I just want to see how long you can stay in the Li family with your abilities.”
Lin Liguo’s face turned ashen.
Li Nanchen’s brows furrowed and he glared at Lin Liguo. “Is there still some other secret behind that day’s incident?”
Lin Liguo denied vehemently, “What other secret can there be?! Everyone saw that Wu Mei was the one who pierced Old Master Li until he vomited blood, but I saved him! President Li, didn’t you see that as well?!”
Li Nanchen did see that.
However, he had a nagging feeling that things were not that simple…
Wu Mei couldn’t be bothered to argue with Lin Liguo any further. She yawned and said, “Take your time to chat. I’ll go to the bedroom to rest.”
She went straight to the second floor and threw down everything that Lin Piaopiao had placed on the second floor.
Lin Piaopiao was so angry that she stomped her feet. She wanted to demand an explanation from Li Nanchen, but he ignored her. Grabbing his luggage, he pushed open the door and went in to change Wu Mei’s dressing. He did not come out again!
How are they anything like a divorced couple? They’re even closer than before!
