“You’re clearly trying to spoil me by buying all these game consoles! Do you think I’m just a clueless kid? You’re a bad woman! Get out of my house!” Mei Yan said, gesturing as if he wanted to kick Wang Yue.
Wang Yue screamed in fear and quickly pushed the door open, only to accidentally collide with Mei Yun’s firm chest, making her nose hurt as she took in a sharp breath.
“What’s all this noise about?” Mei Yun, appearing just in time, saw Mei Yan about to attack Wang Yue.
If Mei Jing hadn’t restrained him, Mei Yan’s little fists would probably have landed on Wang Yue’s body by now.
Instead of calming down when he saw his father, Mei Yan became even angrier and directed his anger towards Mei Yun, “Dad, if you can’t control your woman, don’t let her come out and cause trouble! Don’t listen to her; she just wants to drive my sister away!”
“Be quiet!” Mei Yun’s face turned dark as he stared at his son sternly. “Wang Auntie is your elder; how can you speak to her like that?”
Wang Yue quickly softened her voice and adopted a motherly appearance. “Honey, Yanyan is still young. If he made a mistake, you can talk to him later. Don’t let it affect your health.”
Mei Yan, observing her false appearance, felt his anger rise even more. He glared at her, sparks of fury in his eyes. “I don’t need your fake kindness! Stay away from my dad! It’s because of you that my dad and my sister’s relationship is falling apart!”
“Mei Yan!” Mei Yun was genuinely angry this time, and even his sharp eyebrows seemed to stand up.
Mei Yan didn’t show any fear and yelled back, “I won’t allow you to bully my sister! Dad, divorce that woman with the last name Wang. What right does she have to send my sister back to the countryside?”
“Be quiet!” Mei Yun’s emotions got the better of him, and he slapped his son.
But as soon as he had finished striking his son, he immediately regretted it. Guilt replaced the anger in his expression, and he anxiously said, “Yanyan, did Dad hurt you? Let me see!”
“I don’t need you to see if I’m alive or dead!” Mei Yan swatted away his father’s hand, tears in his eyes. Angry and hurt, he glared at Wang Yue, who was looking on with a smug expression, and then stormed down the stairs.
Worried that something might happen to the young boy outside, Butler Zhao quickly followed him.
However, as he reached the door, he came face to face with Mei Shu, who had just entered.
Mei Yan still had the red imprint of his father’s slap on his cheek, and it was obvious to anyone what had just transpired.
A surge of anger welled up within Mei Shu as she grabbed her brother’s wrist. Through gritted teeth, she asked, “Who hit you?”
Just now, Mei Yan had faced his father’s furious anger without fear, but at this moment, he found himself inexplicably afraid of his sister. He instinctively shrunk his neck, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
Mei Shu realized that it was her cold tone that had frightened her brother. She quickly crouched down, gently wiped away his tears, and softly asked, “Tell sister, who hurt you?”
“It was Dad!” Mei Yan answered her question first. Then, he remembered that the slap he received wasn’t the most pressing issue right now. He grabbed her sleeve and continued, “That woman with the last name Wang entered your room without permission and is trying to send you back to the countryside!”
“So, it’s about this,” Mei Shu sighed softly. “Don’t worry, little brother, big sister will take care of it.”
“But she’s trying to send you to the countryside! How can you take care of me now? We should first convince Dad not to listen to that fox’s nonsense! Yanyan doesn’t want to be separated from his sister!” Mei Yan held onto Mei Shu, refusing to let go, as if he were clinging to the last piece of driftwood.
Mei Shu had to comfort him first. “Don’t worry, I won’t go to the countryside, and I won’t let that woman manipulate me.”
“Really?” Mei Yan’s watery eyes finally showed a hint of a smile.
Mei Shu liked that smile very much and couldn’t help but lean down to give him a kiss on the cheek. “When has big sister ever lied to you?”
Mei Yan, overwhelmed by her kiss, stood still for a moment, forgetting about the pain on his face. He stared blankly at her as she led him upstairs.
Butler Zhao, seeing her return, breathed a sigh of relief and recounted the events to Mei Shu. He then offered his advice worriedly, “Young Miss, it might not be a good time to confront Mr. Mei now. Why don’t you return to your room, and I’ll try to talk to him instead?”
“No need, thank you, Butler Zhao. 1 can handle this myself,” Mei Shu said, showing a grateful smile. However, as soon as she climbed the stairs, her expression returned to its icy demeanor.
She had expected Mei Yun to get angry at her for losing face, but she hadn’t anticipated him being foolish enough to agree to Wang Yue’s proposal to send her back to the countryside and even resort to violence against Mei Yan.
She didn’t mind that he didn’t care about her, but Mei Yan, the youngest child born to their mother, whom he had seen grow up since childhood —he could actually lay a hand on him!
A hint of murderous intent flickered in her eyes, which happened to be noticed by Mei Yan when he looked up, and it frightened him, causing him to stop in his tracks.
Mei Shu lowered her head and gave him a reassuring smile. “Come on, Sister won’t let you get hurt for no reason.. I will make sure that certain people pay for this!”
