“Nanchen, why are you hesitating?”
“Are you going to watch Old Master Lin die? Only Dr Lin can save him now!”
The uncles from the collateral branch of the Li family threw out the critical condition notices and glared fiercely at Wu Mei, while pressing Li Nanchen to make a decision.
Wu Mei sized them up with cold eyes. Their faces were filled with greed and desire. How do they even look in the least bit worried about the old master’s condition?
“As long as you divorce Wu Mei and marry Lin Piaopiao, the matter will be resolved!”
“It’s just changing a wife, what’s so difficult about it?! Li Nanchen, don’t tell me you’re only thinking about yourself. You’re so unfilial!” One of the Li Family’s uncles hurled harsh words at Li Nanchen and inadvertently exchanged glances with Lin Liguo. He then nodded briefly.
Wu Mei caught their eye contact. She lowered her head and chuckled lightly. Her lips curled up into a smile and she looked at them mockingly.
“Well said. It’s just a change of wives. Why not let Lin Piaopiao marry you?”
Wu Mei clapped her hands and glared at that uncle. She asked softly, “You colluded with Lin Liguo in secret, wanting to force Lin Piaopiao on Li Nanchen so that you can reap personal gains from Lin Liguo! Do you think no one can tell?”
“You did your calculations well. Uncle, you used to be a pimp?” Wu Mei said sarcastically.
Li Nanchen raised his eyes abruptly and stared fixedly at his uncle, who looked slightly flustered. Without batting an eyelid, he frowned.
“Nonsense! What evidence do you have? I’m just worried about the Old Master!” The uncle pointed at the bed in a panic as he shouted.
On the other hand, Wu Mei tilted her head and held Li Nanchen’s arm. She leaned lightly on his shoulder and asked, “In that case, why didn’t you stay in the hospital to take care of him?”
That uncle could not out-talk Wu Mei. Stumped for words, he looked at Lin Liguo.
In the ward, the smell of disinfectant filled the air. Lin Liguo did not dare to look Wu Mei in the eyes and could only look elsewhere to avoid making eye contact with her.
“Stop framing others! You yourself are hanging on to the Li family and occupying the position of the Li Family��s Young Madam!”
“Aren’t you just trying to get money from the Li Family to give to the Wu Family so as to fill the hole in their company? Don’t think too highly of yourself!”
Lin Liguo naturally started berating her as he was not confident enough and he became less imposing.
The Li Family Uncle followed his lead and added on while pointing at Wu Mei, “That’s right! You’re leeching on the Li Family. The Li Family doesn’t owe you anything. Quickly pack up and get lost!”
“Oh? All of you witnessed how much of Li Nanchen’s money I spent after marrying him?” Wu Mei fiddled with her nails, not in the least bit annoyed.
“In that case, do all of you know how much money your wives spent on supporting gigolos while making you guys a cuckold?” Wu Mei sneered and looked sympathetically at their stunned expressions. “Mind your own business more and mind other people’s business less!”
When it came to scolding people, no one was a match for her!
“Cough, cough, cough… Mei’er, lass…”
Old Master Li opened his eyes weakly and exhaled deeply. He tried to hold Wu Mei with his scrawny hand to back her up.
The alarm of the medical equipment in the ward rang out. The doctors and nurses rushed in frantically, but Wu Mei rushed to Old Master Li’s side first. Her intention was to whisper to him to stay strong.
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she smelled a faint but unusual medicinal scent coming from the IV drip bag!
This medicine…?
Wu Mei glared at Lin Liguo with more ruthlessness in her eyes and said, “Looks like someone can’t sit still anymore after losing all their money last night!”
“You poisoned Grandpa Li today to force Li Nanchen to make a decision? Lin Liguo, are you fit to be a doctor?”
Based on her sense of smell, Wu Mei could tell that the medicinal ingredient contained a slight toxicity. If it was used for a long time, it would make one even weaker. As Old Master Li was advanced in age, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
So this is the cause of the illness!
Li Nanchen looked at Wu Mei in disbelief and asked, “Are you sure?”
“Don’t listen to her nonsense! The IV drip is from the hospital, so how can I possibly inject poison into it?” Lin Liguo defended himself in a panic-stricken manner.
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and retorted, “I never said that the poison was injected into the IV drip…”
“You…” Lin Liguo realized that he had said the wrong thing. He signaled to the Li family’s collateral branch of the Li family with his eyes, asking them to step in and help to control the situation.
The uncles of the Li family quickly pointed at Wu Mei and said, “Nanchen, don’t listen to her!”
“She’s a mental illness patient. She imagined all of it and is slandering Dr Lin! How could he possibly harm the Old Master?”
“This is just Wu Mei holding a grudge. Look… It has already been reported in the news that she’s mentally ill! You should send her to a psychiatric hospital for treatment…”
One of the uncles from the collateral branch of the Li family showed the piece of news to Wu Mei. It was a video of people, whose faces had been pixelated, sharing shocking revelations, that was being played on the screen. Instead of getting angry, Wu Mei smiled. Yang Shan is truly devious!
