The meeting room’s door creaked open and then closed again.
As soon as Old Wang saw Mei Shu, she excitedly tried to stand up, but the handcuffs on the table kept her from moving, making a jingling sound.
“Why did you take so long? How’s my case going? Why did they just say they’re going to sentence me? Didn’t you say you could help me?” Old Wang’s voice was filled with agitation and frustration.
Mei Shu had been keeping her head down since entering, and it was only now that she suddenly lifted her face, a look of regret on her expression. “Granny Wang, I’m sorry. Auntie Wang found out about my attempt to help you. She wouldn’t let me do it, and now 1 can’t do anything!”
Old Wang was stunned for a moment and then angrily grabbed Mei Shu’s hands placed on the table. “What do you mean? Yesterday, you swore that you would find evidence favorable to me!”
“I was going to find it,” Mei Shu sighed deeply, showing regret on her face. “But Auntie Wang found out about my intention to help you. She didn’t want me to do anything and even told my father about it, saying that I was causing trouble for the Mei family and violating the law. From last night until just now, I’ve been confined to my room. I only managed to sneak out when 1 received a call from the police!”
Old Wang, upon hearing this, was completely dumbfounded. “Auntie Wang? Which Auntie Wang? Are you saying Wang Yue wouldn’t let you help me? Why?!”
“I don’t know. I thought you and Auntie Wang were relatives, so even if she didn’t want to get involved, she shouldn’t have obstructed it so forcefully. But I didn’t expect her to react so strongly. She even involved my father! 1 really don’t know what to do now!”
“Then what about me? I’m about to be handed over to the court by them! Who can save me!” Old Wang widened her eyes in despair and grabbed Mei Shu’s wrist again with great strength. “No, you have to find a way to help me. Only you can help me now!”
“But I’m helpless now. My father believed Wang Yue’s words and won’t let me get involved in your affairs. He cut off my financial support, and now I’m completely restricted in everything 1 do!” Mei Shu complained and even stamped her foot in frustration. “It’s all Auntie Wang’s fault. Why does she have to oppose you? This is a matter of life and death!”
Granny Wang’s stunned gaze slowly moved to Mei Shu’s face. “Think of another way? Let’s bypass Wang Yue, that ungrateful b*tch! After all, you are the eldest daughter of the Mei family. As long as you say a word, someone will definitely be willing to help, right?”
“How can it be so simple?” Mei Shu couldn’t help but complain. “Although I’m the eldest daughter of the Mei family in name, my status is worlds apart from my sister, Mei Mu. As you know, Auntie Wang is in charge of the family now. Even I have to listen to her. 1 don’t have an independent economic ability yet. I can’t do anything without the Mei family!”
“Captain, should we go in now and take Miss Mei out?” The police officer in charge of monitoring outside took off his headphones and asked the man next to him.
Captain Wang furrowed his brows thoughtfully and shook his head. “No, let’s wait a bit longer.”
He always felt that Mei Shu’s actions and what she said were inconsistent. She should have some special motive behind it.
In the meeting room, ATei Shu’s shoulders shook slightly. Apparently she had cried with grievances.
Old Wang became even more anxious, cursing Wang Yue even more vehemently. When she finished scolding, she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up, and she said, “How about you talk to Wang Yue for me? After my son and 1 safely get out this time, 1’11 have my son give her half of the money he earned as her personal pocket money! This way, she might not continue to hinder you!”
“It’s useless.” Mei Shu wiped away her tears and shook her head gently. “Wang Yue is determined not to let anyone in the family interfere with you this time. She said a lot of unreasonable things…”
“What did she say?” Old Wang hurriedly asked.
Mei Shu awkwardly shifted her gaze away and quickly shook her head.
Old Wang urged again, “Tell me quickly, what did that wretched woman say behind my back?”

Mei Shu, with an uneasy expression, finally spoke, “She said you deserve to die… She wishes you would die right away, so she could finally relax. She even said you’re a leech who has been leeching off her for so many years, and she wishes the police would execute you immediately… That kind of thing.”
Old Wang stared at Mei Shu in shock, unable to speak for a long time.
Mei Shu looked at her anxiously, “Granny Wang, is what she said true? Have you been privately asking Auntie Wang for money all these years?”
“That’s pure nonsense! When did 1 become her leech? She promised to give me that money herself!” Old Wang angrily cursed Wang Yue for a long time, only stopping when her mouth went dry. “This wretched woman dares to play dirty tricks against me! Does she really think i can’t deal with her anymore?”
Mei Shu blinked in surprise, “Oh? Do you have a way to stop Auntie Wang from continuing to hinder you? If you really have a way, tell me quickly.. I’ll help you right away!”
