Chapter 57: Defected to the Enemy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Mu’s actions immediately earned unanimous praise from her classmates but disgusted Li Hua to the core.
...She was the true victim here, yet she was subjected to baseless mockery, and Mei Mu took the opportunity to step on her and solidify her own position.
Since Mei Mu had acted unjustly first, Li Hua had no reason to be polite!
After school, Li Hua refused Mei Mu’s offer to walk home together. Once Mei Mu left, Li Hua quietly approached Mei Shu and lowered her voice, “Come with me. I have something to show you.”
Mei Shu looked at her in surprise, nodded slightly, and tidied up her things. Then they both went to the rooftop.
The evening breeze lightly brushed their faces, bringing a slight coolness, but it didn’t make them feel cold.
But Li Hua felt a chilling sensation in her heart.
She looked at Mei Shu and suddenly thought of her own foolishness in blindly following Mei Mu before.
Back then, in Mei Shu’s eyes, she was probably a fool, right?
Why did you call me here? Mei Shu stood at a distance, showing a clear sense of detachment. She didn’t intend to get too close to Li Hua.
Li Hua noticed her aloofness, smiled self-mockingly, and took out her phone from her pocket, passing it to Mei Shu. “Listen to this recording. I believe it will be helpful to you.”
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, took the phone, and pressed the play button. Mei Mu’s sharp voice suddenly came from it.
“Because Mei Shu still holds shares of the Mei family company…”
“Once she obediently hands over the shares, Mei Shu will be completely within our control!”
Li Hua silently stood by, observing Mei Shu’s expression.
She thought Mei Shu would at least be shocked or surprised.
If she put herself in Mei Shu’s shoes, she would have felt grateful and done everything possible to integrate back into the family after being sent to the countryside and ignored since her mother’s death.
So when she heard this recording, learning about Mei Mu and her mother’s true intentions, she should have felt disheartened.
But Mei Mu didn’t seem surprised at all. There was not even a trace of emotion on her face.
Li Hua felt perplexed and couldn’t help but ask directly, “Aren’t you upset? They’re plotting against you, and you don’t mind?”
“Why should I care about unrelated people? Besides, their intentions are not something I just found out. But what do you mean by letting me listen to this recording?”
Mei Shu handed the phone back to her and leaned against the wall, waiting for her answer calmly.
Li Hua hadn’t expected her to be truly indifferent. She opened her mouth to say something, but in front of Mei Shu’s calm demeanor, the carefully prepared words suddenly became unspeakable.
Mei Shu glanced at her phone, frowned, and urged coldly, “Say what you want to say. I still have ten minutes to waste with you, then I need to study.” [Ding! Please complete the task of recruiting a follower to earn 10 points.] Hmph!
Is this system doing this on purpose?
Mei Shu clicked her tongue impatiently and suppressed the anger in her heart. “Fine, I’ll give you more time. Explain everything you want to say and your intentions behind all this.”
Li Hua inexplicably swallowed nervously, unsure why, she suddenly felt that Mei Shu had a strong aura, completely unlike a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city. She even had the vibe of a powerful woman.
However, in an instant, Li Hua dismissed this feeling as an illusion!
After all, this was just a school, a place where academic performance mattered.
No matter how smart Mei Shu was, it was impossible for her to quickly improve her grades within three months and surpass Mei Mu.
From this perspective, Mei Shu was far behind Mei Mu.
But the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Li Hua knew this very well.
Moreover, with Mei Mu standing in front of her, she didn’t resent Mei Shu at all now.
“I understand that there is still resentment between us. In the past, in order to please Mei Mu, I provoked and targeted you several times. But this time, you made me a scapegoat, and I have already paid a painful price. So, can we temporarily put aside our grievances for now?”
Li Hua completed her words with great courage.
She looked up at the girl opposite her, but Mei Shu just silently stared at her, not indicating any intention to speak. Li Hua took another breath and continued, “You heard the recording just now. I know you probably want to deal with Mei Mu, but you haven’t established a solid footing in the Mei family and school yet. It won’t be easy to go against Mei Mu. So, why not join forces?” “You want to deal with Mei Mu? Are you giving up on the opportunity to soar high by relying on her as a powerful connection?” Mei Shu curved her lips slightly, tauntingly.
Li Hua could certainly understand her disdain, but now Li Hua had no time to consider all of that.
“Yes! She used me first, and now she wants to squeeze out the last bit of value from me to wash away her and her mother’s tarnished reputation. I don’t want her to continue manipulating me!”
As Li Hua spoke, a glint of resentful red flashed in her eyes, and her lips were stained with blood from biting too hard. It seemed that Mei Mu had truly pushed her to her limit this time.
Mei Shu smiled knowingly, “But how can I trust that you’re not pretending to seek refuge with me? What if this is a plan you and Mei Mu have schemed together?”
