Chapter 307: Maintaining One’s Dignity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“She’s very innocent, and Zhou Nan deserves to die,” Mei Shu’s knuckles turned white as she clenched her fists.
Mei Feng, who was taken aback when he saw this, asked with concern, “Sis, what’s wrong with you?”
Mei Shu regained her composure and said calmly, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. If you need a reason, you can consider it an act of kindness.”
Mei Feng hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, “Sis, when you were in the countryside, apart from Old Wang abusing you, did anyone else hurt you?”
Mei Shu looked at him with surprise, knowing he was trying to change the subject. She couldn’t help but tease him, “Where are you going with this? Do you think I’d let someone bully me so easily?”
Mei Feng realized he was mistaken.
After all, his sister had a strong personality and was not easy to provoke.
What he didn’t know was that Mei Shu was being gentle with Lin He because she saw herself, a naive version of herself from her previous life, in Lin He.
Back then, she had married a monster who tortured her and subjected her to physical abuse. In the end, she died a tragic death.
She didn’t want Lin He to follow the same path. After all, a second chance at life was not something everyone would have the opportunity to experience.
She wanted to uncover the truth and help Lin He escape from her suffering.
The first step was to correct Lin He’s misguided thoughts.
Lin He’s biggest problem right now was her fixation on her inability to conceive, which made her feel indebted to Zhou Nan, willing to serve as an ox for him and his evil mother.
But in reality, Lin He had done nothing wrong.
In fact, Zhou Nan’s long history of domestic abuse against Lin He was a violation of the law, and he would have to pay for it.
This time, Mei Feng had brought some fruit and a meal for her.
Butler Zhao was concerned about Mei Shu living alone and had prepared some of her favorite dishes in a thermal lunchbox for Mei Feng to bring.
“Is Yanyan and All Jing obedient at home? Have they been doing their homework properly?” Mei Shu asked with a hint of concern as she ate.
Mei Feng replied with a smile, “Both of them are very well-behaved. They complete their homework conscientiously every day. Yanyan has a test in a couple of days, even though it’s just a small quiz. He hopes you’ll be back to celebrate with him when he achieves good results.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Shu couldn’t help but smile. “That boy is already thinking about how to celebrate before the exam. It seems like he’s very confident in himself!.”
Mei Feng nodded with satisfaction, saying, “I checked Yanyan’s recent assignments, and he’s been doing very well. I believe his hard work will pay off. Everything is fine at home; you don’t need to worry. We’re just concerned about you. Dad knows about you renting a house by yourself, but he hasn’t said anything. He’s been looking increasingly haggard, and many things are beyond his control.”
Mei Shu humorously remarked, “Do you think Dad will be so furious when he learns the truth about Mom’s death that he’ll kill Wang Yue and then kill himself?”
“Big sis, that’s not something to joke about!” Mei Feng furrowed his brow, but then he couldn’t help but ask, “But I am quite curious. Why did Dad cheat on Mom with Wang Yue? And why did he have a daughter with her? Both you and I thought Dad loved Mom very much at the time, and even now, I can’t see how much he liked Wang Yue.”
Mei Shu replied, “Only Wang Yue knows that deep down.” She sneered, “Once I’ve completed everything, I’ll make her confess everything from beginning to end. She’s the one who tore our family apart, and I won’t spare her.”
“Big sis, you’ve changed a lot,” Mei Feng praised from the bottom of his heart. “Now you’re becoming more and more like our mother, who was strong-willed and unyielding.”
In that moment when Mei Shu had uttered those harsh words, Mei Feng had surprisingly seen a glimpse of his mother’s spirit in her face.
His mother had been a woman of strong character, and upon discovering her husband’s affair, she had decisively divorced him, sorted out all her financial matters, and handled them effectively. She was always resolute and determined.
And now, Mei Shu, just like their mother in the past, had her own unyielding pride. Even Mei Feng, who had always been proud, couldn’t help but be drawn to her and wanted to protect her dignity from being destroyed by anyone.
Mei Shu picked up a pair of chopsticks for him and said, “Alright, stop talking and let’s eat together. You rushed over to bring me food; you probably haven’t eaten yet.”
Mei Feng smiled and said, “I heard that Butler Zhao specifically instructed the chef to prepare a lot of dishes for you. I’m going to stay and have dinner!”
The two of them sat down to eat in a warm atmosphere. Just as they finished eating and were about to clear the table, they heard a loud crashing noise from upstairs.
Mei Shu’s eyes narrowed, and she picked up her coat, preparing to go upstairs.
Mei Feng hurriedly stopped her. “Sis, you can’t show yourself now. Old Wang knows you, and if she finds out you’re deliberately living below them, they will be on guard..”
