“I’m not plotting anything sinister,” Lin He continued to palely defend herself.
But she knew better than anyone that once she was labeled as associated with a murderer, everyone would think she had sinister intentions, believing she was capable of murder for money at any moment.
What made her feel most hopeless was that even Feng Mo’s eyes were wavering now.
“Mom, please believe me, I never had any ill intentions towards you,”
Lin He pleaded, grasping Feng Mo’s hand. “I admit I did hide my past from you, but that’s because I’ve completely bid farewell to my past self. I had no other motive. My ex-husband was a scoundrel, and he’s already serving his sentence. Please believe me, I was completely unaware of what he did before.”
“Don’t touch my mom!” Feng Wei, now emboldened, pushed Lin He away from Feng Mo and rolled her eyes in disgust. “There’s no way our Feng family would accept someone like you. Get lost!”
Despairingly, Lin He looked at Feng Mo, who remained silent. “Mom… please believe me, I’m not the person she’s describing.”
“Lin He.” Feng Mo finally spoke, her gaze resolute. “I truly wish you were my daughter, but our Feng family cannot afford any stains.”
“Mom?” Lin He couldn’t believe it, calling out again.
Feng Mo closed her eyes. “Leave. The party ends here tonight.”
!!..
“Did you hear that?” Feng Wei gloated, smirking as she crossed her arms.
“Some people are destined to be a wretch, yet they still try to climb up, only to be despised by others.”
Lin He’s hands clenched at her sides suddenly. “Mom, no, Ms. Feng, if Feng family cannot have any stains, then Miss Feng Wei, who owes high-interest loans and cannot repay, should also leave with me.”
“What? Weiwei, you actually owe high-interest loans?” Wu Hui walked over in shock, pulling Feng Wei aside to inquire further. “What’s going on? You’re Mei Cheng’s wife. Why borrow high-interest loans? Is there a problem with your company?”
Feng Wei glared at Lin He, then covered her face with her hands, slowly choking out the story.
After listening, Wu Hui scolded angrily, “I knew Mei Cheng was unreliable! With such a big problem in the company now, he actually abandoned his wife and left you with such a huge debt! Unbelievable!”
Feng Wei sobbed louder, continuing pitifully, “Uncle Wu, I really know I was wrong now. After all, I’m still my mom’s biological daughter. Please help me persuade my mom. I’m really at my wit’s end now. Is she going to watch me die?”
“Ms. Feng,” Wu Hui reluctantly wanted to speak for her.
At that moment, Mei Shu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, “Sorry to interrupt, everyone, but I have something to say.”
Feng Wei’s disdainful gaze immediately turned towards her. “You dare to speak now? It’s your uncle who has made me miserable! You better immediately repay your uncle’s money!”
“Don’t say that.” Mei Shu smiled gently. “Your husband has long been at odds with me, even threatening to ruin my company. How come you’re asking me to help you repay your debts now? Also, you and him are legally married. Your marital debts have nothing to do with me.”
Feng Wei was left speechless by her retort, fuming, “Enough! What do you want to say?”
Mei Shu smiled satisfactorily, “I just want to say, if we’re talking about scandals, yours seem to be more than just owing high-interest loans, right? Remember that piano competition?”
After speaking, Mei Shu’s gaze casually swept over Wu Hui and Wen Mo.
They both froze, recalling how Feng Wei had manipulated the results of the piano competition. Their initially sympathetic expressions quickly turned conflicted.
Feng Wei gritted her teeth in anger, “So what? I’ve already been punished for that. Isn’t that enough?”
Mei Shu continued, her tone serious as she turned to Feng Mo, her smile gone completely from her face.
“Feng Wei, actually, after meeting Ms. Feng, I’ve been very puzzled. Why does she have a daughter like you? It’s because your character, your knowledge, and your worldview are not worthy of being called the daughter of the Feng family.” “You dare to say that to me!” Feng Wei exclaimed incredulously. “Whether I’m worthy or not is none of your business! You schemed to drive away Mei Mu and Wang Yue, mother and daughter, thinking you can now condemn others as a victor?”
“This brings me to the second matter,” Mei Shu turned solemnly to Feng Mo, the smile on her face now completely vanished.
“Ms. Feng, regarding the matter of Lin He’s ex-husband being a murderer that Feng Wei mentioned just now, what I want to say is that I’m actually one of the victims. The person Sister Lin He’s ex-husband and mother-in-law colluded to murder is my mother..”
