Chapter 149: No More Pursuit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After hanging up the phone, Mei Mu remained stunned on the ground, unresponsive.
She had thought she could step Mei Shu under her feet, but she never expected that the end result would be her having a home but being unable to return to it.
Her father must be very angry with her.
He must know that she was behind all of this!
Damn it.
She clenched her fists and angrily punched her legs.
It was all Mei Shu’s fault! Why was she so ruthless and unforgiving?
She had already lacked fatherly love during her childhood, and her father should have compensated her properly. However, now, because of Mei Shu, her father didn’t even want her to come back to the Mei family.
Then, what was she?
She sat lifelessly on the ground, not knowing how much time had passed. The sky outside had completely darkened, and even the hospital corridors had become quiet.
Finally, Wang Yue arrived.
As soon as she saw Mei Mu’s appearance, her heart ached even more, and she couldn’t help but shed tears.
She quickly bent down to help Mei Mu up from the ground and said gently, “Silly child, why are you sitting here like this? Don’t you care about your health?”
Mei Mu finally showed some reaction.
She looked up at Wang Yue, and when she noticed the redness on her mother’s cheeks, her pupils shrank. “Mom, did Dad hit you again?”
Wang Yue cried and lowered her head, speaking softly to comfort her, “No, I’ve been with your dad for so many years. When did he ever lay a hand on me? Don’t think too much, I did it to myself accidentally.”
“Don’t lie to me!” Mei Mu screamed in despair, covering her face and continuing to cry, “Mom, does Dad not want us anymore? He only wants Mei Shu, right? How can he be so heartless? Is he even worthy of us?”
Wang Yue also felt heartbroken, but now that the situation had become a settled matter, if they still wanted to turn the tables, they absolutely couldn’t give up so easily.
She hugged her daughter tightly and gently patted her back, saying, “Mumu, don’t worry, Mom will find a way to bring you back home. 1 will make sure the Mei family has only one daughter, you. Don’t be impatient. 1 won’t let Mei Shu off so easily!”
“Mom, I wish 1 could kill her with my own hands!” At this moment, Mei Mu’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Everything she had was ruined by Mei Shu.
Her father’s love, her popularity at school, and her own reputation.
She had lost everything, and she would make Mei Shu taste the bitterness of being abandoned by everyone!
However, what she didn’t know was that everything she was experiencing now was something Mei Shu had personally gone through in the past.
Mei Shu’s fate back then was much more miserable than the current Mei Mu’s.
She suffered severe burns all over her body, lost her legs, her loved ones, and her family affection. She could only lie in bed, enduring the torment from Mei Mu daily and eventually died tragically at Mei Mu’s hands.
But Mei Shu’s desire for revenge didn’t stop there.
Study room.
Mei Shu looked at her father, who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and smiled knowingly, “Dad, 1 know you love me the most. Since you asked me to stop, of course, I’ll listen to you.”
Mei Yun sighed with relief and comforted her, “Shu’er, I have let you down ail these years, but now the company’s shares have suffered a significant impact because of this incident. I know you’re aggrieved, but I can only let you endure it temporarily. Rest assured, Mei Mu won’t escape punishment. Your Aunt Wang will personally apologize to you. During this time, I’ll make Mei Mu stay outside to calm down, and we won’t bring her back until you feel better.”
“Okay.” Mei Shu suppressed the urge to sneer and showed a sweet smile. “With Dad saying that, 1 won’t pursue her for spreading rumors about me. Aunt Wang will really come to apologize to me?”
“Of course, she’s already gone to handle Mei Mu’s discharge procedures. She’ll come to your room in a while.” Upon hearing that she was willing to withdraw the lawsuit, Mei Yun felt overjoyed. He hurriedly promised her wholeheartedly.
Mei Shu smiled and said, “Alright, then I’ll go back to my room and wait for her. But Aunt Wang shouldn’t come too late; I have to get up early for school tomorrow.”
“Okay, i’ll remind her. You go back to rest.” Mei Yun personally got up to escort Mei Shu out of the study. When he opened the door, he found that two of his sons had climbed onto the door.
Mei Yun immediately frowned and said sternly, “Why didn’t you two do your homework properly today?”
Mei Yan puffed out his cheeks, feeling displeased, and hugged his shoulders. “Dad, Sister has suffered such grievances. Shouldn’t you compensate her properly? 1 feel so bad for her!”
Mei Jing also had a dissatisfied expression and said, “Dad, Mei Mu went too far this time. We all saw it. She clearly jumped down by herself and even went to the journalist to say that Sister pushed her. She’s a liar!”
“Alright.” Mei Yun’s smile faded, “I know you both love your elder sister, and I’ve already discussed this with Mei Shu. Let’s end it here, but 1 will compensate her appropriately.”
As he spoke, he took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to Mei Shu. “There are three hundred thousand Yuan in this card. You can buy something with it. Consider it a little gift from Dad..”
