But the noise outside grew louder and louder, and it wouldn’t be right to just leave her hanging, disturbing the peace of neighbors.
Mei Shu took Mei Yan’s hand and patiently explained, “You take Brother He back first, and let Sis handle this. Okay?”
Mei Yan glanced in the direction of the door, where the old lady could be seen yelling.
Only then did he reluctantly nod, “Okay, but don’t let that old woman win, sister!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
Mei Shu watched as the two of them left.
Halfway there, Mei He turned back to look at her, still somewhat concerned.
Mei Shu waved at him, indicating that he didn’t need to worry at all.
Only then did Mei He continue to follow Mei Yan back to the villa.
At the entrance.
The closer Mei Shu got, the clearer she could hear the old lady yelling.
The guards at the door were trying his best to block her, not giving her a chance to enter the villa.
The old lady, at her wit’s end, could only sit on the ground and vent, “Heartless creature! Your father just came out of the hospital, and you won’t even go see him! You took the liberty of using the family’s money to buy a house, moved out with those brats, you’ve never considered me as your grandmother, let alone your father! Unfilial child! Come the hell out!”
“Pan Hua.” Mei Shu stood expressionless at the door, calling out the old lady’s name directly.
Seeing her, the old lady stopped pretending to cry and struggled to get up from the ground. Pointing at Mei Shu through the iron gate, she cursed loudly, “Ah, so you finally decided to come out! What, feeling ashamed now? I ask you, who allowed you to spend so much money from the family to buy such a big villa here? You’ve just come of age and are already defying your family, don’t you feel ashamed?”
Her voice grew louder, completely breaking the peace of the neighborhood, and many residents popped their heads out to watch the show.
Mei Shu’s villa was second in size only to the Lu family’s estate, and when they had just moved in, it had indeed attracted a lot of curiosity from the surrounding neighbors. They had long been curious about Mei Shu’s identity.
Now, hearing the old lady’s words, they suddenly understood.
So, it was the rebellious teenage girl from the family who secretly stole money to buy a house?
This could be quite a sensational news story!
The old lady looked around and saw quite a few people watching. She triumphantly snorted, “I’m telling you, Mei Shu, even if your father is ill, he’s still your father, and I’m your real grandmother. If you don’t want to be talked about, immediately sell the house and move back. Otherwise, 1’11 have your father sue you for stealing money! You’re an adult now, you can face legal consequences!”
“Do you have evidence to accuse me of stealing money?”
Mei Shu remained unaffected, still maintaining her calm demeanor.
In contrast, the old lady yelled as loudly as she could, afraid that the crowd wouldn’t hear her, “Evidence? What evidence do you need to prove theft? You’re so young, where did you get the money to buy such a big villa? If not from the family’s money, then what?”
Her argument seemed reasonable.
Normally, at Mei Shu’s age, independently renting a house would be out of the question, let alone buying a villa.
But who made Mei Shu a reincarnated person?
Her soul wasn’t that of an ignorant eighteen-year-old girl. She had the ability to earn money, and this kind of scene couldn’t intimidate her at all!
It’s just a matter of who has the louder voice, right?
Mei Shu leaned over and whispered a few words to Zhao Yan.
The old lady looked at her vigilantly, but seeing that she didn’t do anything after speaking, she felt that Mei Shu must know she was in the wrong, couldn’t argue back, and began to curse even more recklessly, “A young thief, stealing so much money from the family at such a young age! Born without a mother, raised without education, that’s how wild children are! You’ve driven my granddaughter out of this house, so what? You’ll never be as good as her!”
Mei Shu stood calmly in place, listening to her. Quite a few people had gathered outside, and their murmurs were constantly flowing into her ears.
The people here were cultured and educated, so their words weren’t too harsh, but after the old lady’s instigation, they naturally couldn’t help but criticize her.
“Oh, such a young age and spending so much money! If it were my son, I’d have to break his legs!”
“Kids nowadays want to break away from their families, wanting independence is fine, but how can you steal from your own family to satisfy your desires?
Isn’t that just a parasite? With such a child in the family, even if you’re wealthy, you’ll end up losing everything!”
Although the old lady was old, she was still sharp-eared and could clearly hear all the criticisms against Mei Shu.
She was extremely pleased and continued to make a scene, “What do you all think? How should we educate a child like this? She’s so young and already stealing money, what’s next, murder?”
“Yeah, she should be taken back and properly disciplined by her father!” The emotions of the onlookers were thoroughly stirred up by her, and they all directed accusatory words at Mei Shu..
