Chapter 264: Mother’s Change

Will she harm herself if she’s alone in the room?

Wu Mei banged on the door in a panic and shouted, “Mom, it’s me! I’m home!”

It was very quiet in the room.

Wu Mei immediately turned around and was about to ask the servant to get the spare key when she heard the door open.

“Mei’er, you’re back.” When Mother Wu saw Wu Mei, she smiled gently. However, her reddened eyes still revealed her worries.

Wu Mei’s heart sank and she said without hesitation, “Mom, who contacted you? What do they want?”

A trace of fear appeared in Mother Wu’s eyes. She forced a smile and said with a trembling voice, “Nothing, what are you talking about? Come in first.”

She didn’t seem to want to talk about it.

“Mom, you! Rest well.” Wu Mei looked at Mother Wu quietly.In the end, she sighed and shook her head.

With her abilities, she could deal with those greedy people.

As long as Mother Wu was fine.

She said, “Mom, are you hungry? I asked the servants to make food. I went out with Nanchen today and didn’t eat anything.”

Initially, they went with K to spy on Yang Shan and her accomplices. Later on, they discovered a man disguised as a waitress who was eavesdropping on their conversation. Until now, she had not eaten a single hot meal and her stomach was already feeling uncomfortable.

Mother Wu could tell that Wu Mei was feeling unwell and her eyes were filled with heartache. “I’m hungry too. I’ll get the servants to bring a cup of water first, okay?”

“Alright!” Wu Mei sat on the chair.

Mother Wu called a servant over and asked for a cup of hot water. She also made arrangements for the servants to prepare some simple dishes.

Wu Mei held the cup of water and felt its warmth. Her mood became calm and warm.

Mother Wu sat back down in front of Wu Mei and reached out to stroke her hair. “Didn’t you go to have lunch? Why did you come back hungry?”

Was she sounding her out?

Was it because of that call?

This strange thought occurred to Wu Mei, but she smiled and said, “A waiter overheard our conversation while we were in the restaurant and wanted to sell it for money. I caught him red-handed.”

Her words were mixed with both truth and lies, not because she was afraid that Mother Wu would tell others, but because she was afraid that Mother Wu would be worried.

“So after the farce, I wasn’t in the mood to eat and came back first.” Wu Mei leaned back in her chair and slowly took a sip of hot water.

Mother Wu lowered her eyes, trying to hide her thoughts. “How… is the Corporation now?”

Wu Mei’s eyes flickered. “If you’re worried, Mother,” she said gently, “we can go and take a look tomorrow.”

The person who contacted Mother Wu wants them to go to the Corporation?

Sure!

She could see what kind of farce these people had in store for them.

She also checked the shareholders and directors of the company. They were paid high salaries, but they were actually doing things at the expense of others.

These people want to destroy the entire Wu Corporation? In that case, she will have to find a way to kick them out.

Mother Wu suddenly sat down beside Wu Mei and reached out to hug her.

Wu Mei was taken aback and a little surprised. She froze.

Once the seed of suspicion had been planted, it was very difficult to pull it out.

She still believed that Mother Wu’s attitude was related to the mysterious phone call.

Mother Wu seemed to be immersed in her memories. She smiled faintly and said, “Mei’er, have you realized? You’re different from before.”

“Really? No.” Wu Mei frowned and thought seriously.

Mother Wu laughed. “Silly child, you’re gentler and warmer than before. This is all thanks to Nanchen.”

How did this topic suddenly turn to Li Nanchen?

Wu Mei suddenly blushed and said shyly, “Mom, it’s because you’re with me. It has nothing to do with him.”

Mother Wu said seriously, “Mei’er, it’s very difficult for a person to find someone who treats you sincerely.”

“Don’t end up in a wrong relationship like me and not being able to get out of it, hurting the people around you.”

Wu Mei believed that someone had spouted nonsense in front of Mother Wu. This filled her with anxiety.

She suppressed her thoughts and hugged Mother Wu. “Mom, as long as we realize what kind of person he is, that’s enough.”

Mother Wu shook her head. “What I wanted to tell you was that someone called me this morning and said that your father used his connections in the Corporation to bribe some of the directors and employees and used the Corporation’s projects as a cover for an illegal drug trade.”

“I took note of it and recorded it in advance. I’m planning to hand it over to the police. What do you think?”

Things had turned around too quickly.

She looked at Mother Wu in surprise, thinking that she had heard wrongly. “Mom, what are you talking about?”

Mother Wu held Wu Mei’s hand and said as her heart ached, “Mommy made things difficult for you.”

Wu Mei finally came back to her senses. She hadn’t expected such a pleasant surprise. She immediately hugged Mother Wu and said, “Thank you, Mom.”

With Mother Wu’s support, things became much simpler.

Mother Wu patted Wu Mei’s back and said sincerely, “When the matter is settled, you and Nanchen should settle down and prepare for a child. Both of you are adults, so you can’t be more willful, understand?”

Wu Mei could no longer keep up with Mother Wu’s pace until a knock on the door interrupted her.
