Chapter 200: Cutting Ties
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the situation escalated, Mei Yun found himself powerless.
With the police being pressured by Lu Si from behind, no one dared to make concessions for Mei Yun.
He had to have his secretary spread the news that this was just a rumor, and Mei Mu’s absence was due to her going on a trip with Wang Yue.
Of course, while they said this, it was clear that nobody believed it.
Everyone in the upper circles knew what Mei Mu had done!
This was a major embarrassment for the Mei family!
Moreover, by trying to save face for his daughter, Mei Yun had pushed Lin Feng into the spotlight.
And the Lin family was certainly not happy about it.
Lin Chen quickly had the news spread, claiming that his son had been implicated in the case due to a plot by Mei Mu, completely absolving Lin Feng of any responsibility.
On the other hand, Zhang Jue had completely severed ties with Mei Yun.
As the victim in the case, he had received notifications from the police, learning that everything was orchestrated by Mei Mu. He was now filled with a burning desire to exact revenge on her.
With this turn of events, Zhang Jue’s attention shifted entirely from Mei Shu to Mei Mu, which was exactly what Mei Shu had hoped for.
The conflict between the Lin and Mei families, which had no gunfire but was just as intense, began quietly in their social circles.
Both families stuck to their own stories, while others watched from the sidelines.
It wasn’t until a video was posted online that Mei Yun felt a chill running through him.
The video was surveillance footage from a hotel lobby and corridor, clearly showing the face of his daughter, Mei Mu.
As a father, witnessing his daughter being hugged and harassed by multiple men, he was infuriated.
And the man closest to Mei Mu was Lin Feng!
“This is outrageous! My Mei family doesn’t have such a shameless daughter!” Mei Yun was so furious that he smashed his phone and pointed at the sobbing Wang Yue beside him. “This is the daughter you pampered! Look at what she’s done! She’s not even eighteen yet!”
Wang Yue was unaware of this matter until now, and upon seeing the video, she realized that Mei Mu was finished. She sat on the couch in despair, crying, “Mei Mu is still young, she doesn’t know any better. It must be the Lin family who forced her into this situation. Honey, you have to seek justice for our daughter!”
“What more justice do you want? Are you not embarrassed enough?” Mei Yun was on the verge of exploding, pointing at Wang Yue’s nose and scolding, “Both of you, mother and daughter, are not well-behaved. I regret agreeing to marry you in the first place!”
“What are you saying, Honey?” Wang Yue’s face turned pale, and she stared at him incredulously. “Are you regretting it now? 1 gave birth to a daughter for you, raised her all these years by myself. Do you know how much I’ve suffered? You’re Mei Mu’s biological father, and now that our child has made a mistake due to her youth, you want to disown her?”
Mei Yun did regret the drunken night he had spent with Wang Yue.
It had cost him the love of his life and brought disgrace to the Mei family.
However, regrets and blame were useless emotions at this point.
He could only maintain his composure and instruct his secretary, “Go find the source of that video for me. I want to know who’s trying to destroy the Mei family behind our backs!”
“Yes!” The secretary understood that this was a grave matter and quickly went to work.
In the office, Wang Yue continued sobbing.
Feeling irritated, Mei Yun simply chased her away.
According to the previous public announcement, Wang Yue had gone on a trip with Mei Mu, so she hadn’t been seen around the company lately. Now, when she left the building, she couldn’t hold her head high like she used to as the lady of the Mei family. Instead, she had to wear sunglasses and a hat, trying to avoid any attention like a mouse crossing the street.
Wang Yue had a strong suspicion that Mei Shu was somehow involved in this matter.
But she couldn’t figure out who was helping Mei Shu behind the scenes.
She didn’t believe that Mei Shu alone could pull off something of this magnitude.
Could it be the Lu family?
Leaving the company, Wang Yue quickly disappeared into the crowd and found a private detective agency. She was determined to spend money to investigate the truth behind this matter!
On the other hand, Mei Shu was sitting alone with Lu Si in a private room. The atmosphere was far from relaxed, and both of them had grim expressions.
“Is this matter true?” Mei Shu clenched the report in her hand, and her arm trembled slightly.
Worried, Lu Si wrapped her small hand in his own. “When I first got to know you, I had your background investigated to ensure my safety during my second personality’s episodes. This matter was discovered as a result, but I didn’t expect to find such a suspicious point.”
“I’ve actually had doubts that this was not a simple accident.” Mei Shu lowered her gaze, staring at the words “highly likely to be an incident caused by human actions” on the report. Her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. “I’ve always thought my mother’s death was entirely my fault, but if this was really a murder, the most likely person to do it is just one!”
Lu Si nodded in agreement. “What do you plan to do?”
With a look of intense hatred in her eyes, Mei Shu suddenly turned to him.. “If it’s really her doing, I will make her pay for it with her blood!”
