231: Stay Calm

Stay Calm

Every day, a maid would regularly clean Li Nanchen's bedroom and bathroom.1

Lin Piaopiao rummaged through the trash can and bathroom sink. She even squatted down and carefully stared at the crack in the floor tiles, but she couldn't find a single strand of hair.

Disappointed, she restored the bathroom to its original state and quietly pushed open the door. She did not expect to see Feng Yue, who had come to express her goodwill to Li Nanchen.

The two of them nearly bumped into each other. Feng Yue's sharp eyes noticed that there was no one in the bedroom. She stared at Lin Piaopiao suspiciously and said sarcastically, "Looks like I need to tell the butler and bodyguards not to keep watching for the assassins outside. There are people in this villa who want to do bad things."

"How can you enter President Li's bedroom as you please?"

Lin Piaopiao wanted to leave, but Feng Yue deliberately blocked her way and said, "What's wrong? Feeling guilty?"

Feng Yue crossed her arms and blocked Lin Piaopiao, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and anger she had received from Wu Mei on Lin Piaopiao…

Lin Piaopiao was not someone who would be bullied. She only panicked for a while before calming down.

"Why did you come to Li Nanchen's bedroom for no rhyme or reason? You're holding peeled fruits in your hand? Oh, you really think you're a servant!"

"Looks like Wu Mei is right. Some people are just cheap! They can't think of any good way to curry favor with men."

"No wonder Li Nanchen doesn't even look at you!"

Lin Piaopiao and Feng Yue began to berate each other sarcastically. Very quickly, they attracted the attention of the butler and maids at the ground floor. Feeling a little guilty, the two of them lowered their voices and cursed at each other before hurriedly leaving.

Lin Piaopiao turned around and looked at the door to Li Nanchen's bedroom. She wanted to find another opportunity to slip into the bedroom to retrieve Wu Mei's hair before the maids went to clean up.

In the evening, Wu Mei returned to the villa and saw two familiar figures at the door. She stopped in her tracks and walked to them.

She recalled that Old Black was the bodyguard that Li Nanchen had sent to Mother Wu's side to protect her. Looking at the two pairs of shoes placed on the porch, she asked, "Is Mom back?"

Old Black had seen Wu Mei's skills and admired her. He replied respectfully and quickly, "Yes."

Wu Mei's tense nerves relaxed. With gratitude in her eyes, she said, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of Mom for me in the company. Is she in any trouble? You guys know Wu Pang's means as well, so I'm a little worried."

Old Black and his companion exchanged glances. Their expressions were complicated and they did not know if they should tell them about how Mother Wu had nearly been bullied by Yang Shan.

Wu Mei was extremely sharp. She immediately caught the two of them acting strangely and asked, "Don't hide it from me. What happened?"

Old Black coughed lightly and told her about Yang Shan's attempt to drive Mother Wu away and slander her.

Wu Mei was so angry that her face turned pale. Secretly gritting her teeth, she wanted to turn around to find Yang Shan to cause trouble. However, she had just taken two steps when Li Nanchen came out of the parking lot and raised his arm to block her way.

"Don't block my way!"

Wu Mei wanted to push Li Nanchen away, but Li Nanchen grabbed her wrist tightly and whispered, "Calm down!"

As Li Nanchen's subordinate, Old Black naturally reported everything to him at the first instance.

Li Nanchen furrowed his brows and glared at Old Black. He gestured for them to leave. Grabbing Wu Mei's wrist, he led her to the pavilion seat in the garden courtyard. When Wu Mei's emotions calmed down a little, he said, "As long as you encounter matters related to Auntie, you'll never be able to maintain your calm and rational thinking."
