Chapter 447: Confession
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Of course, I won’t really care about such a small matter.” Mei Shu said these words while casually glancing in Mei Jing’s direction.
He was already a bit displeased now, but he considered that Chen Guo had helped him a lot in the past, so he temporarily suppressed his anger, choosing not to confront her directly.
However, the seed of suspicion had already been planted in his heart. The next step was to see how to nurture and cultivate it, making it take root and sprout.
After that evening, Chen Guo spoke much less.
Mei Jing also didn’t actively ask her questions like before. When Chen Guo mustered the courage to inquire if there were any problems he couldn’t solve, Mei Jing would coldly respond with a simple “no,” showing a very indifferent attitude.
In her heart, Chen Guo cursed Mei Shu silently.
If it weren’t for Mei Shu causing trouble, she wouldn’t have offended Mei Jing, making all her efforts over the past long time go up in smoke!
After the incident that day, Mei Yan privately sighed to Mei Shu. Was there no good girl in the world other than her sister?
Mei Shu laughed, rubbing his brother’s head, “When you grow up and meet more people, you’ll naturally encounter many good girls. You’re still young now; why the hurry?”
Mei Yan blushed under her teasing, almost jumping directly, “Who’s in a hurry! Hmph, I’m not interested in women at all!”
After saying that, he hurriedly returned to his room, his back rushing as if there were a fire behind him.
Mei Shu looked at his brother’s back with a smile.
Mei Yan seemed to sense something and, before closing the door, naughtily made a face at Mei Shu.
She waved at him with a smile before leaving the Mei family to attend to her own affairs.
Starting from the day Chen Guo came to the Mei family, she would come to the Mei family with Mei Jing after school every day, claiming it was to visit her father.
Now, every time Chen Feng saw Mei Shu, he looked hesitant and seemed like he wanted to say something.
Mei Shu naturally knew what he wanted to say, but she didn’t give him a chance to speak.
Forced to do so, Chen Feng could only wait quietly outside Mei Shu’s room one night when it was quiet.
He knew that doing this was very impolite and could easily lead to misunderstandings, but there were some things he had to tell Mei Shu. Otherwise, his conscience wouldn’t be at ease.
Just as he hesitated, Mei Shu silently approached him.
Chen Feng, nervously rubbing his hands, looked guilty and said, “Miss, I’m sorry to disturb your rest. There’s something 1 must tell you in person.”
“Come in and talk.”
Mei Shu, with no expression on her face, opened the door first.
Chen Feng was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted, followed her inside, and closed the door behind him.
“Please have a seat.” Mei Shu poured herself a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, sat on the sofa, and leisurely sipped it.
However, Chen Feng did not sit down. Instead, he stood in front of her, uneasy, and said, “Miss, the matter I’m going to talk about next, you probably won’t forgive me for a lifetime, and 1 might be dismissed. But 1 still have to say it. Please, for the sake of my daughter and Young Master Jing being classmates, don’t blame her.”
Mei Shu nodded, agreeing, “Go on.”
Taking a deep breath, Chen Feng gathered his courage and said, “Actually, on the day when Young Master Jing and Miss Second fought, 1 was the one who secretly put the fruit knife in Young Master Jing’s hand in the chaos. I even took a photo of Young Master Jing stabbing Miss Second.”
“Miss.” Chen Feng continued, directly kneeling in front of Mei Shu, tears streaming down his face, “I know 1 was wrong. 1 shouldn’t have been stupid and betrayed you under Miss Second’s persuasion. I’ve thought a lot during this time. You are indeed more suitable to be the master of the Mei family than Miss Second. You’ve been so good to me, helped me find my daughter, and made us meet every day. I am truly sorry to you and Young Master Jing!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t hold back his sobs.
The man in his forties actually couldn’t hold back his tears.
Mei Shu sighed, put down the teacup, walked slowly to him, and stood in front of him, “Get up first.”
Chen Feng stubbornly refused to get up. Instead, he wiped his tears and continued sobbing, “Miss, I have no complaints if you want to fire me or hand me over to the police. I just beg you not to target my daughter. She doesn’t know anything. She’s really innocent!”
Mei Shu sighed again and said softly, “Get up first.”
Chen Feng, in a daze, slowly supported his knees, which were painful from kneeling, but still couldn’t lift his head in front of Mei Shu, “Miss, I…”

“In fact, 1 guessed what you just said a long time ago.” Mei Shu’s voice was cold.
Now, Chen Feng was even more shocked, “Miss, then why did you help me find my daughter?”
“I wanted to see if you still had any humanity left, if you were a person who knew how to repay kindness. The fact proves that you are indeed a good father.” Mei Shu’s eyes showed a touch of emotion. “I won’t tell Xiao Jing about this, but you have to promise me one thing first.”
What she meant was, would she not pursue the matter of his collusion with Miss Second?
Chen Feng was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly, “Miss, as long as you say it, even if I have to go through fire and water, I won’t refuse!”
