Chapter 55: Money Deal
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Hua’s face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she vehemently denied, “No! You asked me to bring that cup of water. I had no idea there was something wrong with it! The incense on the bedside was also your doing. This has nothing to do with me. I am the true victim!”
...“Don’t dream!”
Mei Mu tightened her grip on Li Hua’s wrist, forcing her to come closer. “Do you think anyone will believe your words? Everything is a result of your own actions. You wanted to harm Mei Shu, deliberately seduced a man into your room. Now that things have blown up, and you can’t face anyone, you want to push all the blame onto me?”
Li Hua looked at Mei Mu’s malicious face, her eyes filled with despair, and shook her head.
It was the first time she saw such an expression on Mei Mu’s face.
So this was the true nature of Mei Mu!
A tear slowly rolled down her cheek as Li Hua lowered her head, leaning weakly against the railing, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. “Mei Mu, I have no future anymore. After what happened yesterday, no man will want me. What should I do?”
Mei Mu let out a sigh of relief, released her grip on Li Hua’s wrist, and instead held onto her shoulder, making her look directly into her eyes. “Listen to me. Right now, the only path for you is to be with my brother. Only when you’re with him can you both escape the suffocating judgment of the public.”
“But I don’t like your brother at all! Why are you forcing me to marry someone I don’t love?” Li Hua broke free from her grasp, covered her face, and sobbed in pain.
Mei Mu felt an urge to sneer.
Did Li Hua, with her background, really dare to imagine marrying into her mother’s Wang family?
Even if her brother was not outstanding, he would never marry a woman without any background.
Someone like Li Hua could, at most, be a plaything for men.
It was ridiculous that Li Hua couldn’t even recognize her own status and felt like marrying her brother was unfair to her!
But Mei Mu only thought this way. To appease Li Hua, she deliberately softened her voice and coaxed, “You have to understand that only when I firmly establish my position can things get better for you. If Mei Shu becomes the head of the Mei family, based on what you did yesterday, she will never give you a good life!”
Li Hua stopped crying in astonishment, blinking her tear-filled eyes, looking at Mei Mu.
“Listen to me. Bear with this for now. Once my mother and I achieve our goals, do you think you’ll lack an opportunity to seek revenge on Mei Shu? Mei Mu observed her expression while speaking.
Seeing that she was suddenly stunned, Mei Shu felt even more smug, and her tone became lighter. “I’m not afraid to speak my mind to you. It’s for our grand plan to retaliate against Mei Shu that I didn’t defend you yesterday. My mother is my father’s wife. As long as she stands firm, Mei Shu will eventually be in our grasp!”
Li Hua was not a fool. She could hear the affirmation in Mei Mu’s tone and was shocked. “You, you already have a plan?”
Mei Mu sneered and said, “Do you know why my mother suddenly brought Mei Shu back from the countryside?”
“Why?”
Li Hua was so shocked that she even forgot to wipe the tears on her face. Dried tears flowed all the way to her chin, making her look quite comical and silly. “Because Mei Shu still holds shares of the Mei family company! We’re enduring everything now because we’re waiting for the day when she comes of age and inherits the shares. Once she obediently hands over the shares, Mei Shu will be completely within our control!”
Mei Mu spoke as if victory was already assured. She couldn’t wait to scratch Mei Shu’s face, which was so good at seducing men. Let’s see how she could make Lu Yan treat her differently.
Li Hua gulped and subconsciously clenched her phone in her pocket. Her eyes, filled with shock, stared straight ahead. “I… I understand. Since you’ve planned everything for me, then I’ll listen to you. However, the compensation you gave for this incident is far from enough. The harm I’ve suffered cannot be compensated with just fifty thousand yuan.”
Was she asking her for money?
A hint of disgust flashed in Mei Mu’s eyes, but she maintained a compassionate expression. “I also think so. After all, you’re already my cousin’s woman. I should call you sister-in-law. I only left your parents with fifty thousand because I didn’t have that much cash with me. I have a bank card here. Take it first, and I’ll send you the password to your phone later. If it’s not enough, let me know.”
“Okay.” Li Hua forced herself to suppress the nausea brought by the term “sister-in-law” and nodded palely, stuffing the card haphazardly into her pocket before turning to leave.
Behind her, Mei Mu watched her awkward limping figure as she walked, her eyes filled with disdain.
B*tch, my brother paid you for sex with that money.
But I will make sure you vomit up every penny you took from me!
Returning to the classroom, Li Hua held her head high as if nothing had happened, returning to her seat.
In that instant she entered, the previously noisy classroom suddenly quieted down.
These people were still discussing what happened last night excitedly..
