Chapter 255: Smart Move

Mother Wu’s checkup went very smoothly. After settling the discharge procedures, she finally returned home.

When they returned home, Mother Wu was sent back to her room. After lying on the bed, she held Wu Mei’s hand, unwilling to let go.

Wu Mei was tired as well, but she still perked up. After coaxing Mother Wu to sleep, she walked out of Mother Wu’s room.

She stretched her neck and prepared to go to the dining room to eat something. However, she had just taken a few steps when Li Nanchen grabbed her wrist and brought her back to the bedroom.

As soon as the door was closed, Li Nanchen pressed Wu Mei against the wall.

Wu Mei reached out to press Li Nanchen’s lips that were moving closer to hers. Her voice was laced with reproach as she said tiredly, “Nanchen, not now. I’m starving.”

Li Nanchen kissed her lips and said, “I’m not that beastly. I just heard about what happened last night and wanted to know what your next step is.”

The next step of the plan?

Wu Mei raised her head and looked into Li Nanchen’s eyes. “My next step is to fill my stomach first.”

She was busy with Mother Wu in the hospital and did not have the time to ask about the outcome.

Li Nanchen reached out to rub Wu Mei’s temples, wanting to help her relieve her fatigue. However, Wu Mei stopped him.

Wu Mei rejected him again.

Li Nanchen’s gaze darkened. After being rejected again and again, he became vexed. He frowned and said, “Wu Mei, you…”

“What’s wrong with me? Of course I have to invite Mr Li to eat with me.” Wu Mei stood on tiptoes and kissed Li Nanchen’s chin before opening the door.

She had just taken two steps when she turned around and grabbed Li Nanchen’s hand. Theyn, they walked out of the room together.

Li Nanchen’s mood instantly improved. He quickly took a few steps forward and walked next to Wu Mei into the dining room.

The nanny had already prepared lunch and coffee as Wu Mei requested.

Li Nanchen walked to the table in advance and pulled out a chair.

Wu Mei sat down without hesitation and reached for her coffee cup, preparing to take a sip.

“Eat something before drinking. It’s bad for your stomach,” Li Nanchen reminded her.

Wu Mei looked up at him and said with a smile, “Nanchen is getting more and more attentive.”

Li Nanchen sat down beside Wu Mei and scanned the dishes on the dining table. “This is too greasy. Change it.”

Wu Mei quickly reached out to stop him. Then, she leaned into Li Nanchen’s arms and said coquettishly, “You can’t change it. I want to eat it.”

Li Nanchen’s gaze landed on Wu Mei. Besides compromising, what else could he do?

Holding her chopsticks, Wu Mei looked at the table full of delicacies and was the first to grab a drumstick.

On the other hand, Li Nanchen slowly picked up a bowl of soup. Seeing Wu Mei eat the food with relish, he could not help but reach out to stroke her hair.

Puzzled, Wu Mei turned around and met Li Nanchen’s gaze. She then lowered her eyes and continued to munch on the drumstick. However, her gradually reddening earlobe betrayed her.

Li Nanchen could not help but lean closer and tease her, “Mrs Li, are you being shy?”

Wu Mei put down the drumstick and was about to retort when she heard Bi Fang’s disdainful voice, “You guys are so mushy every day.”

Li Nanchen glanced sideways and said, “Turn left when you go out. Take care, I shan’t see you out.”

Bi Fang ignored him and moved the chair to Wu Mei’s side. After sitting down, he reached out and grabbed a drumstick.

He did not come back alone. He even brought two little “tails” with him. They were the bodyguards who had captured the unfamiliar man in the hospital.

Have they gotten down to business?

Wu Mei took out a piece of tissue and wiped her fingers. Then, she asked, “What did you get from the interrogation?”

The bodyguard replied, “Madam, he owes a large sum of money. The person who instructed him promised to pay him back in cash.”

This is a very smart move.

By using cash to pay him, the bank’s liquidity information could not prove that an unknown transfer had been made.

Wu Mei sneered and said, “But he failed.”

“Can he identify Wu Pang?” Li Nanchen asked with a faint smile.

His smile did not reach his eyes, making one’s heart turn cold.

The bodyguard added, “He has never met the person who gave him the order.”

If he didn’t succeed, there would be no need for them to meet.

Li Nanchen tapped his fingers on the table and said coldly, “He’s useless.”

The bodyguard knew how to deal with this unfamiliar man. With his testimony, he could report the case.

Wu Mei’s mood became particularly awful. She picked up the coffee in front of her and drank it slowly. “The document that Wu Pang forced Mom to sign hasn’t come in handy yet.”

Li Nanchen remembered this as well. “As long as Wu Pang seizes the opportunity, he will definitely take out that document to reap profits for himself.

Wu Mei’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Nanchen, we’ve used a good plan before. We can try it again. We can block out the news of Mom’s discharge and use the man that Wu Pang bribed to lure him out.”

The premise was that they needed Mother Wu’s approval.

As they were discussing this matter, they suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground upstairs, startling them.

Thinking that something might have happened to Mother Wu, Wu Mei immediately sprinted upstairs.

She pushed open Mother Wu’s door and saw Mother Wu hugging her arms and sobbing.

“What’s wrong, Mom? Does it hurt a lot?” Wu Mei sat in front of Mother Wu nervously and wanted to check on the sprain on Mother Wu’s arm.
