Chapter 107: Settling the Accounts

Mei Jing stared at her face, which was close at hand.
This face resembled Bai Ling so much that, for a moment, Mei Jing almost thought Bai Ling had come back.
But how could a deceased person possibly come back to life?
Mei Jing forced a bitter smile, pushing away her hand and bowing his head, refusing to look at her anymore, “I can handle it myself, no need to trouble you.”
“What do you mean by troubling me? I’m your sister.” Mei Shu disregarded his little moodiness, thinking he was just shy, and forcefully lifted his chin, bringing the disinfected alcohol cotton closer to him.
“Hissss.” Mei Jing hissed in pain, and his furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He opened one eye slightly to sneak a peek at her.
Could it be that the demon did it on purpose just now?
“An untreated wound can get infected, especially on the head.” As if she knew what he was thinking, Mei Shu added in a faint tone.
Mei Jing made an “Oh” sound, obediently lowering his gaze and letting her apply the medicine.
This silly kid.
Mei Shu smiled with amusement, applying just enough force to avoid causing him further pain.
While the two were tending to the wound, Mei Yan watched quietly from the side.
Until Mei Shu finished, he solemnly pledged, “Next time, I’ll protect you, Sister. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you!”
“Great, then I’ll count on you to protect me!” Mei Shu chuckled and tapped his forehead.
Mei Yan smiled sweetly, but the next moment, he couldn’t smile anymore.
Because Mei Shu handed him a practice workbook.
Mei Yan immediately cried out, “Sister, why do we have to study so late?”
Mei Shu clearly distinguished between public and private matters, “We not only have to study but also make up for the time we wasted just now.”
Mei Yan wailed and rolled around on the bed, then suddenly noticed Mei Jing still sitting by the bedside, and he pointed at him indignantly, “Then why doesn’t he have to study? Why aren’t you taking care of him today?”
“All Jing got injured today, so he should rest properly.” Mei Shu said seriously, “Once he’s better, he’ll have to make up for it twice as hard!”
Mei Jing looked up at her in a daze.
Her bright smile dazzled his eyes, and a tear suddenly welled up, aching in the corners of his eyes. As Mei Shu looked over, he wiped it away in secret.
He suddenly stood up, turned his back to both of them, and spoke with a muffled voice mixed with undisguised nasal sounds, “Then, you guys study. I’ll head back first.”
“Okay.” Mei Shu watched him leave, then picked up Mei Yan, who was still clinging to the bed, and put him back in his seat beside her.
[Congratulations, Host, you’ve gained the reliance of family members, and your medical skill level has reached the beginner level.]
“Oh?” Mei Shu’s eyes lit up with surprise.
This reward was actually related to medical skills, so it seems that the condition was fulfilled on Mei Jing’s side.
This little guy may appear cold and aloof on the surface, but he has already begun to rely on her deep down!
Mei Shu was delighted; she did two more sets of exercises before going to bed.
The grade director asked Mei Mu to go to the office to criticize her for reporting the fake photo of Mei Shu.
If not for her misleading information, the grade director wouldn’t have embarrassed himself in front of the principal.
However, the real thief had not been found yet.
Since it was confirmed that it was the work of an outsider, the grade director simply called the police.
Throughout the day, the school was filled with occasional sightings of police officers.
The students nervously discussed what happened at their school.
Only the students in Class 6 knew the truth.
This incident was probably related to Mei Mu.
Now Mei Mu’s reputation at school had plummeted.
“Daughter of a mistress” became a shameful stigma, deeply imprinted in her soul, enough to make her unable to raise her head for the rest of her life.
Because of this title, the news about Mei Mu being intimate with Zhang Jiao also spread like wildfire, with people adding fuel to the fire.
But this time, the students’ evaluation of Mei Mu was markedly different from before.
No one pitied Mei Mu for making sacrifices for the family anymore; they only thought that she brought this upon herself by not being self-disciplined, flirting with men in public.
Her background predetermined that everyone would always be biased against the things she did.
Occasionally, Mei Shu would hear some disdainful remarks about Mei Mu in school.
She heard them but pretended not to.
After all, those words were not unjustified towards Mei Mu.
Didn’t she willingly approach Zhang Jiao herself?
With the involvement of the police, the investigation quickly made substantial progress.
In the afternoon, as the students were attending their math class, many policemen suddenly stood at the door of their classroom. The grade director knocked on the door, interrupting the teacher’s lecture, and his face turned extremely cold, “Mei Mu, come out for a moment.”
For a moment, the quiet classroom instantly boiled over.
The teacher hurriedly stopped the students’ chatter, organized the class discipline, and then turned to look at Mei Mu, whose face had turned pale, “Go with the director. The director will talk to you in his office.”
Mei Mu stood up in a daze.
The distance from her seat to the classroom door was just a short ten steps, but it felt like she had walked through an eternity, never before had a moment made her feel so fearful..
