Chapter 174: Defending in Public

When Sheng Hongfei saw Old Master Li pushing his wheelchair out of the bedroom, her eyes darted around slightly. Her words became even more intense as she berated Li Nanchen for offending them because of an outsider!

Li Nanchen’s eyes shone with a cold gleam as he looked at Sheng Hongfei and the silent Li Zhuo. His lips curled up into a cold smile as he said, “So Second Aunt knows that you have to abide by the rules in the Li family. I thought that you guys had been living overseas for too long and have completely forgotten what the word ‘rules’ mean!”

“I was the one who fetched Wu Mei and Mother Wu into the villa. Second Aunt slandered them for no reason and incited Mother Wu to add ingredients into my medicine…”

“If something had really happened to me because of that bowl of medicine, I really wouldn’t be able to offend Second Aunt here now! Wouldn’t it go according to your wishes then?”

Li Nanchen’s casual words caused Sheng Hongfei’s face to turn red and she was unable to retort.

Feng Yue parked the car outside and came back. When she reached the entrance, she heard the commotion in the living room.

When she saw Li Nanchen standing in front of Wu Mei and even going against the elders in the family to defend her, she was furious.

Feng Yue walked to the sofa and cast Wu Mei a side glance as she said in a sarcastic voice, “Ultimately, it’s all because of her!”

“If Wu Mei didn’t deliberately provoke the evil forces outside the borders, why would they send people to launch a sneak attack?”

“Furthermore, she left the villa without permission and placed President Li in a dangerous situation. That’s why President Li was hospitalized and recuperated for so long!”

Feng Yue’s words caused the entire living room to fall silent. However, she stared at Wu Mei as if she did not notice anything. She then raised her eyebrows smugly and advised, “You’d better not shirk responsibility. Hurry up and take the initiative to apply to transfer back. Don’t be an eyesore in the villa!”

“Do you really want to throw the Li family into chaos and let President Li get injured again before you give up?”

Old Master Li looked shocked. His heart raced when he heard Feng Yue’s words. He took out two pills from his pocket and popped them in his mouth. The rich Chinese medicine taste spread in his mouth. Old Master Li’s complexion finally recovered a little. His voice trembled as he asked, “What’s going on?”

“What evil forces?”

“Nanchen, are you lying to me? Lass Mei and you weren’t on a vacation. Were you injured and hospitalized?”

Seeing that Li Nanchen was pressing his thin lips together and refusing to answer, Old Master Li pointed a trembling finger at Feng Yue and said, “You tell me!”

Feng Yue originally wanted to answer, but when she saw Li Nanchen glaring at her fiercely, her body involuntarily trembled.

Due to this oppressive gaze, Feng Yue could only shut up and stand rooted to the ground, not daring to utter a single word.

The living room fell into a dead silence. Sheng Hongfei stole a glance at Wu Mei and Li Nanchen. She recalled that she had once eavesdropped on their conversation. Some of the pieces gradually pieced together to form a complete clue. As if she had guessed something, she ran to Old Master Li’s side and incited him, “I know!”

“It’s all Wu Mei’s fault that Nanchen keeps encountering danger!”

“She must be coveting the Li family’s assets, that’s why she deliberately approached Nanchen. Then, she contacted some assassins to murder Nanchen!”

“Even if she didn’t hire those assassins, they’re here for her.”

“Our Li family has always kept a very low-profile in the past. It was Wu Mei who caused Nanchen to suffer. She caused our Li family to suffer a few setbacks and we nearly didn’t make it!”

“You can’t keep her here. You should chase them out as soon as possible!”

Sheng Hongfei glared at Wu Mei. She thought to herself,?Li Nanchen is the Old Master’s treasure. If anyone threatens his safety, they will definitely end up in a miserable state.

Wu Mei can forget about remaining in the villa this time!

Just as Sheng Hongfei was feeling smug, Li Nanchen stared at her coldly. His eyes were filled with impatience and anger.

He said coldly, “Second Aunt is really amazing at fabricating stories!”

Wu Mei’s brows furrowed. Due to Sheng Hongfei’s words, she was a little shaken. It felt as if she was really the reason why Li Nanchen was in danger.

Clap!

Li Nanchen gently held Wu Mei’s hand and walked to Old Master Li.

Wu Mei stared in shock at the hand that was intertwined with hers. She looked up and stared at Li Nanchen’s firm side profile. She heard him slowly say in a firm and low voice, “Grandpa, everything that happened previously was directed by me behind the scenes. It has nothing to do with Wu Mei.”

“I forced her to stay in the villa. I hope that she can stay by my side.”

“If you feel that her existence threatens the Li Family’s safety and want to chase her away, I will move out of the villa with her.”

“I’m… very serious about Wu Mei.”

Li Nanchen looked at Old Master Li earnestly as he confessed.

Wu Mei felt the warmth from her fingertips flow to her heart bit by bit. A strange feeling filled her heart. She was touched, surprised, and felt indescribable emotions.
