Mei Jing also expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, “Mei Mu and her mother ruined Mom’s life. Now they want a share of Mom’s money. They’re really shameless!”
Mei Shu looked at the two annoyed kids and gave them a reassuring glance. “Don’t worry; 1 won’t let them have their way.”
Saying this, Mei Shu took the initiative to appear and stood in front of her grandmother.
As soon as her grandmother saw her, she remembered the slap she had received last time and angrily cursed, “You little slut, how dare you show up in front of me? Watch me today, I’ll beat you to death!”
“Mom!” Mei Yun hurriedly grabbed his mother’s hand, signaling Mei Shu to leave quickly.
However, Mei Shu stood motionless, looking down at the furious old woman from a higher vantage point. “This is my home. Why wouldn’t 1 dare to appear here? As long as you stay in my home for a day, you’ll have to see my face. Do you not understand this principle?”
“This isn’t your home! This is my son’s home! Your mother is already dead, so why do you still get to stay here?” the elder lady rudely demanded she leave.
Mei Shu smiled indifferently. “Sometimes 1 really can’t understand. What exactly did my mother do to make you hate her so much, to the point where you hold such a great grudge against her children, including me?”
“Your mother was a b*tch who forced her way into our family, disrupting our peace! I didn’t drive her away back then and let her be pregnant with our Mei family’s child, which is my biggest mistake 1 ever made!” the old woman spat on the ground vehemently, her cloudy resentful eyes fixed on Mei Shu.
“Mom, what are you saying?” Mei Yun’s face showed pain. “Back then, I was the one who insisted on marrying Bai Ling. It wasn’t Bai Ling who insisted on marrying me. We fell in love with each other, and even though you didn’t like Bai Ling after we got married, Bai Ling has always been good to you. Now that she’s gone, how can you say such things about her?”
“Look at how you’re behaving now, just because of that woman, you’ve defied me time and time again. How could I ever tolerate her?” Mrs. Mei cast a fierce glance at Mei Shu and said, “Don’t think that by driving Mumu away, you can take possession of the family property all by yourself. Let me tell you, as long as I’m alive, Mumu will never leave the Mei family! She will always be a part of this family!”
“You, who are almost half dead, still try so hard to give your own son’s property to other people?” Mei Shu turned to Mei Yun, expressionless. “Dad, 1 know you love me and my brothers. We love you too. But I want to tell you that my mother never did anything wrong to this family. On the contrary, you and Wang Yue know very well how Mei Mu came into existence. Whether this is fair to me and my brothers, you should also have a sense of judgment.”
“I know, Dad knows too.” Mei Yun looked exhausted and suddenly appeared ten years older.
He crouched wearily on the stairs, holding onto the handrail tightly, or he might have fallen down.
He was really missing Bai Ling, and he felt that he owed the children Bai Ling left behind.
If Bai Ling were still here, he wouldn’t have to worry about family matters at all.
He had only found out today how much hatred his mother held towards Bai Ling. He could only imagine how much suffering she had endured that he didn’t know about while she was still alive.
“Mom.” After a long while, Mei Yun stood up, leaned against the handrail, and barely steadied himself. “This time, I can’t give you the money you spent on Mei Mu.”
“Why not? Just because of a few words from this little slut?” Mrs. Mei couldn’t believe her ears, waiting for her son’s explanation.
This was the first time Mei Yun had acted against his own mother since Bai Ling’s death.
He was opposing his own mother for the sake of others again!
The more Mrs. Mei thought about it, the angrier she became, and she covered her chest, gasping for breath. She appeared to be having trouble breathing.
Mei Yun was anxious, and he quickly supported his mother.
Mei Shu, on the other hand, stood by with her arms crossed and watched the drama unfold. “Don’t pretend. You’re perfectly fine now. You don’t have heart disease. If you don’t believe me, I can call someone over to check your pulse.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Mei, out of anger, opened her eyes wide. “Are you trying to infuriate me to death?”
Mei Yun also realized that his mother had been feigning illness just now. He sighed deeply and said firmly, “Let me finish what I have to say first. This time, I can’t give you the money you spent on Mei Mu. Our company was founded and run by both me and Bai Ling. She’s in heaven now, and I’m sure she wouldn’t want to see me spend such a large sum of money on Mei Mu.”
“What do you mean? Are you going to abandon your daughter for the sake of a dead person? You’ll regret it! You’ll definitely regret it!” the old woman was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she rushed up to her son and gave him a resounding slap on the face.
Mei Yun silently endured it, waiting for her anger to dissipate, before firmly stating, “This matter is settled. If she enters the top ten in her grade, 1 will bring her back, but 1 won’t spend so much money on her..”
