“Granny, don’t be angry. Be careful not to hurt your body. Your body isn’t too good in the first place. What will happen to me if anything happens to you?” Mei Mu sobbed pitifully. “In this family, you dote on me the most!”
The elderly lady took a deep breath and said, “1 want to protect you, but as you can see today, Mei Shu’s words are really vicious. She’s as difficult to deal with as her mother who died early! I can’t do anything about it! But don’t worry. 1 won’t let Mei Shu be so smug! Sooner or later, you will be the only daughter in this family!”
Mei Mu stopped crying and leaned into the elderly lady’s arms affectionately. “1 don’t ask for anything else. 1 just hope that Granny will love me like this forever so that I can be satisfied.”
As soon as she said this, she noticed that the light at the crack of the door had dimmed. Obviously, someone was standing there eavesdropping.
Mei Mu was shocked and continued, “But Sister is still Daddy’s biological daughter. No matter how much she doesn’t like me, I can’t really drive her away. I just hope that Daddy can forgive me and Mommy for what we did in the past. In the future, 1 will be filial to Granny and Daddy and take good care of my younger brothers so that Sister can go to university without any worries.” “You’re so kind-hearted!” The elderly lady pinched the tip of her nose affectionately and suddenly thought of something. “Why did Mei Jing say that you were the daughter of the murderer just now? Do you know what happened?”
Mei Mu’s breathing was messed up, and he quickly changed the topic. “Xiao Jing might have watched too many television dramas and is talking nonsense. Granny, don’t take it to heart. Xiao Jing is just a child who hasn’t grown up. Children’s words carry no harm.”
Only then did the elderly lady stop asking.
But Mei Yun heard what he said just now.
He frowned in confusion. He wanted to ask Mei Jing what he had just said, but when he stood on the stairs and saw his children studying seriously in the living room, he couldn’t say anything.
Forget it. It was just a small fight after all. Since the matter was over, why should he mention it again?
With this in mind, Mei Yun returned to the study and continued to look at Bai Ling’s photo, missing her.
The next day, after Mei Shu instructed Mei Jing and Mei Yan to take good care of Mei He and not let Mei He leave their sight alone, he took Mei Feng to see Elder Feng.
The old man was old and couldn’t manage the warehouses in the manor anymore, but in order to make a living, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Mei Shu learned from his investigation that Elder Feng originally had two sons, but unfortunately, his sons were unfilial and no one was willing to take the old man home to support him. The old man could only live alone in the warehouse arranged by the villa.
When Mei Shu and Mei Feng found him, the old man was sorting out the old things that had accumulated dust in the warehouse.
“Hello, old man. I’m Mei Shu.” Mei Shu handed over the condolences with a smile and said, “I’m here to thank you on behalf of my mother.”
Elder Feng was stunned for a moment. He stared at Mei Shu for a long time. After confirming that he had never seen this girl before, he asked in confusion, “Did you get the wrong person?”
“I’m not mistaken. You’re the person I’m looking for. Let’s sit down and talk.” The nutritional supplements she brought were specially for the elderly. They were not cheap.
The old man had been in this manor for so many years. How could he not tell the worth of these gifts? He quickly stuffed the things back into Mei Shu’s hands. “These foods are too precious. 1 really don’t need them. Besides, 1 haven’t helped anyone.”

“Yes, you do.” Mei Shu smiled and said, “I can’t blame you for not remembering. In fact, my mother received your favor six years ago. I’m here today on her behalf.”
At the mention of six years ago, Old Elder Feng’s eyelids twitched hard. He sat on the chair uneasily and said, “Six years ago?”
“Yes.” Mei Feng picked up the topic, took out a photo of Bai Ling, and handed it to him. “This is our mother. You should still remember her, right?”
At first, Grandpa Feng narrowed his turbid eyes to take a look, but when he suddenly saw the woman in the photo clearly, he was so frightened that the photo in his hand almost fell to the ground. “Isn’t this the woman who died in a car accident on the mountain road six years ago? Oh, that matter has nothing to do with me!”
“Mr. Feng, you’ve misunderstood.” Mei Shu smiled sweetly and said, “We’re not here to investigate how my mother got into that accident. 1 just miss my mother a little and want to go to the place she went back then. When 1 walked to the villa, 1 remembered that she once mentioned to me on the phone that her car once ran out of gas when she was in the manor. She said that someone helped her back then. I think this person should be you. After all, you’re responsible for putting away things like oil drums..”
