Chapter 316: Keeping Things From Mom

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Standing by the window, they hugged each other and reveled in the silence of the night.

However, there would always be people who would come and disturb them.

Li Nanchen glanced at someone coldly from the corner of his eye. It was as if he wanted to drag out the person who was spying on them and teach that person a lesson.

Lin Piaopiao, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately recalled her encounter with Li Nanchen. Fear washed over her and she staggered away.

Li Nanchen’s gaze was too frightening.

Lin Piaopiao ran downstairs and stumbled into the kitchen. Suddenly, the kitchen light was turned on.

She hurriedly screamed in fright. When she turned around, she saw a servant passing by and immediately asked with a dark expression, “It’s already so late. What are you doing in the kitchen?”

The servant wasn’t curious about Lin Piaopiao, but she still maintained the most basic courtesy and replied politely, “Ms Lin, I heard noises so I came over to take a look.”

Thinking that the servant was looking down on her, Lin Piaopiao said unhappily, “Enough, I’m just pouring a cup of water. You can leave.”

The servant walked over to the kettle and poured a cup of hot water for Lin Piaopiao. She reminded her, “Ms Lin, there’s a water dispenser in the living room.”

In other words, Lin Piaopiao didn’t need to run into the kitchen every time to pour water.

Lin Piaopiao suddenly felt a sense of panic after being exposed. She didn’t even dare to look at the servant and turned to leave. However, the crystal bracelet on her wrist fell to the ground.

She cried out in surprise and hurriedly bent down to pick up the bracelet. At the same time, she also picked up the small bead that had fallen earlier.

When Wu Mei suddenly appeared, she was afraid that the little thing in her hand would be discovered, so she could only throw it on the ground first.

Fortunately, the servant did not clean the floor in time and left it behind.

Lin Piaopiao put the bracelet back on her wrist and left with the cup.

The servant looked at Lin Piaopiao and felt that this Miss Lin was getting weirder and weirder. After cleaning the place that Lin Piaopiao had touched, she turned off the kitchen light.

Lin Piaopiao returned to her room. Leaning against the door, she sank down on the floor.

This time, she had failed again.

Old Master Li took his medicine at a fixed time every day. After missing it time and time again, she could not help but doubt her ability.

“It’s alright. I’ll definitely succeed.” Lin Piaopiao held onto that little bead and giggled.

She kept the small bead in the crystal bracelet and looked up smugly. “Wu Mei, you will be so tied down by Yang Shan that you won’t notice what happens next.”

“I’ll make you watch me get together with Brother Nan Chen. I’ll make you wish you were dead.”

Her laughter was sinister and deep. She was crying and laughing like a lunatic. Her expression was hideous as she hid in the dark room. She looked terrifying.

Just as Lin Piaopiao had expected, Wu Mei wanted to deal with Yang Shan and Wu Yi.

She had to go to the office today to discuss with her assistant on how to deal with the situation and respond as soon as possible.

Not only did she want to find out who was hiding behind the scenes, but she also wanted to send solicitor letters to the studios who were spreading rumors about her and her mother.

Wu Mei left the Li family villa with Li Nanchen early in the morning.

Li Nanchen also had to rush to the Li Corporation as soon as possible and prepare to deal with Li Zhuo, who would appear at the headquarters any time.

The car stopped outside the Wu Corporation.

All of a sudden, Wu Mei turned her head and kissed Li Nanchen. She said softly, “Mr Li, you’ve worked hard.”

“Ms Wu, you’ve worked hard too.” Li Nanchen shook her hand gently.

“Remember to tell me when you’re done handling matters.”

He did not want to be the last to know.

Wu Mei swiftly got out of the car and strode towards the headquarters. Her assistant was already waiting at the door.

The assistant had prepared several plans, and was just waiting for Wu Mei to retaliate, but Wu Mei had waited until today.

Why?

This was because Wu Mei had to avoid Mother Wu as much as possible. She didn’t want her mother to worry too much.

“This is just a small matter. It won’t affect us too much.” The moment Wu Mei walked into the Wu Corporation, the employees who saw her instinctively lowered their heads.

Wu Pang was in jail.

Mo Li had disappeared.

There were even people in the company who secretly conducted drug deals.

On the outside, Wu Mei did not do anything against them. Instead, it was Wu Pang and Mo Li who were driving Wu Mei and Mother Wu into the corner.

But did what happened to them really have nothing to do with Wu Mei?

Wu Mei didn’t even look at them. She swiftly strode into the elevator and arrived at the highest floor with her assistant.

“When the time comes, prepare for the meeting,” Wu Mei said coldly.

The assistant quickly agreed. After sending Wu Mei into the office, he prepared the documents.

Wu Mei looked through the several proposals prepared by her assistant and picked out the one she was most satisfied with.

Someone knocked on the door.

“Come in!” Wu Mei was about to ask her assistant to prepare a cup of hot water for her.

When she looked up, she could not utter a single word.

Because the person who walked in was Mother Wu.

“Mom, you’re here?” Wu Mei forced out a smile. She put down the documents in her hand and stood up to welcome Mother Wu.

Mother Wu cleared her throat and sat on the sofa. She grumbled, “You keep everything from me. Do you really think you can hide it?”

“I didn’t.” Wu Mei refused to admit it.

Mother Wu glared at her and slammed her phone on the table. “Don’t you know how to read it yourself?”

Wu Mei’s expression turned ugly.. She had already arranged for someone to remove the news from the internet.
