“Husband, are you going to settle scores with me?” Wang Yue stared at Mei Yun in disbelief, unable to imagine that this man would say such words to her one day.

Mei Shu added sarcastically, “Before the truth comes to light, I will freeze your bank accounts and investigate all your financial transactions. If you are innocent, I will compensate you with double the amount. But if you have close dealings with any suspicious people, you should be aware of the consequences.”

“You dare! Mei Shu, I will never let you off!” Wang Yue turned into a wild beast upon hearing Mei Shu’s words, attempting to rush forward and fight her.

Mei Yun held her firmly, not allowing her to harm his daughter.

“Let go of me! Is your whole family trying to exterminate us mother and daughter? Mei Yun, you’re not human! I’m your wife! How can you help outsiders bully me?” Wang Yue had completely lost her sanity and kept lunging forward.

Mei Yun couldn’t restrain her, and it seemed like her long, sharp nails were about to scratch his daughter’s face. In his desperation, Mei Yun forgot about the injuries on her face and slapped her hard.

[Congratulations, Master, you have reached a satisfaction level of 100. Mission accomplished. You have earned the time-limited skill “Mind Reading,” which can only target a single designated individual each time and is effective for one minute. The skill has a cooldown time of three days.]

Mei Shu heard the system’s voice and raised an eyebrow with a smirk.

Mind reading, and it’s time-limited?

This system was becoming quite stingy!

However, this skill could be quite useful. She actually wanted to try it on someone.

None of the people present at the moment warranted the use of mind reading. She needed to find someone with motives so hidden that even she couldn’t decipher them.

Thinking of someone, Mei Shu decided to give it a shot.

In the end, Wang Yue was taken away by Mei Yun.

The room instantly became quiet again.

Butler Zhao approached and said, “Miss, I can have someone help you tidy up the room. You and the young masters can go to the living room and rest for a while.”

“Thank you, Butler Zhao.” Mei Shu looked down at Mei Yan, holding his hand. “Let’s go. It’s been a long night. You two need to get back to your studies.”

Mei Yan, still worried, stood in front of her and asked, “Sister, Dad won’t send you back to the countryside, right?”

“He probably won’t,” Mei Shu replied thoughtfully.

Tonight, Mei Yun’s reaction was somewhat unexpected. He had surprisingly sided with her and acted completely different from what she had anticipated.

Originally, Mei Shu had expected Mei Yun to return from school after hearing those messages and go berserk. She had prepared herself for his thunderous anger, but she hadn’t expected him to suppress the matter and help her keep it under wraps.

He even tolerated her physical altercation with Wang Yue.

Mei Shu didn’t believe that Mei Yun had suddenly changed overnight. She guessed that Mei Yun had somehow learned about the video incident through other means or perhaps there was more to the story than met the eye. Therefore, he had decided to put it on hold until the truth became clear and then settle accounts accordingly.

No matter how he intended to settle the accounts, Mei Shu wasn’t afraid.

“That’s great. Sister, as long as you don’t leave, it’s all good!” Mei Yan’s mind was still simple, and as long as the outcome aligned with his wishes, he started to feel sleepy and couldn’t help but yawn.

Mei Jing, on the other hand, was unusually thoughtful. “Dad’s attitude this time is a bit strange. Although it seems like he’s helping us for now, when something is out of the ordinary, we need to be cautious and vigilant.”

“I understand. This matter isn’t over yet, but you two don’t need to get involved,” Mei Shu said as she squatted down and gently stroked Mei Yan’s face, feeling a surge of heartache. “I’ll find an ice pack for you, don’t worry. Sister will make sure justice is served.”

“Sister, I’m already very happy to see that woman get a good beating,” Mei Yan said, still somewhat worried that Mei Shu might provoke Mei Yun.

He was afraid that Mei Yun might change her mind again and send her away.

“Don’t worry; I can handle it.” Mei Shu ruffled his hair with a smile, and the scene was heartwarming and sweet.

Butler Zhao, who led the housekeepers and servants upstairs, witnessed this touching scene and couldn’t help but feel emotional.

If Madam Bai were still here, these children would probably be leading happy lives, and they wouldn’t have encountered the troubles of today.

True to her word, Mei Shu froze Wang Yue’s bank accounts and investigated her financial transactions. Soon enough, she found a name.

Originally, she had no intention of getting involved, but today, she heard that Li Zhen had once again been loudly spreading this matter in front of Mei Yun. It couldn’t help but make her feel a certain suspicion.

Even if Li Zhen harbored resentment out of love, he shouldn’t have been this troublesome, causing disturbances and looking for trouble everywhere.

She suspected that the person assisting Wang Yue behind the scenes, or perhaps the one hired by Wang Yue, might have a connection to Li Zhen.

This investigation led her to uncover someone.

Lu Ming

Li Zhen’s uncle.

A well-known private detective in Lin City.

This person had recently withdrawn a large sum of money from a bank account, and the account owner was Wang Yue.

Seeing this, Mei Shu finally understood how Wang Yue had managed to arrange for a group of thugs to block her car.

It seemed that she needed to pay a visit to this private detective..
