Upon hearing Mei Shu’s words, Li Zhen instinctively touched his still throbbing cheek. He reached out and forcefully pushed open the closing elevator doors, his gloomy eyes glaring at her through the narrow gap. “Are you threatening me?”
Mei Shu crossed her arms and sneered, “Yes, so what? I bet you haven’t gone to your grandmother to complain before coming here, have you?”
“What do you mean? Do you think I’m a three-year-old?” Li Zhen, feeling humiliated, squeezed into the elevator, getting dangerously close to her.
Mei Shu moved away, disgusted. She said, “I suggest you first visit your grandmother and tell her everything you intend to do. She will tell you whether or not you should come here and say these things to me.”
“Do you know my grandmother?” Li Zhen found it hard to believe.
Mei Shu gave a sarcastic smile and said, “Or do you think your good uncle walked out of the police station all by himself?”
“Did you get someone to help me?” Li Zhen’s eyes widened, wishing he could just glare a hole through Mei Shu.
He had heard his grandmother mention that the reason why Lu Ming had been released smoothly this time was due to someone’s help.
But he never expected that someone to be Mei Shu.
After the video thing last time, she was still willing to help?
For a moment, Li Zhen’s emotions became quite complicated. “I hope everything you said is true. I’m going to see my grandmother now to verify. If I find out you’re lying, I will make sure you pay, even if it costs me my life.”
With that, he didn’t look at Mei Shu and sulked in a corner.
Mei Shu couldn’t be bothered with him and went home after exiting the elevator.
Upon hearing the commotion, Lin He stood up instinctively. When she saw that it was Mei Shu who had returned safely, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you’re back; now I can finally relax.”
“What happened?” Mei Shu asked with concern when she noticed Lin He’s troubled expression.
Lin He hesitated, but decided to be honest. “My mother-in-law probably received a call from the police station. She was scolding loudly in the corridor, threatening to find me and settle scores. I’m worried she might come here, which would bring trouble to you.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal,” Mei Shu said with a dismissive smile. “What did they say at the police station?”
Gratefully, Lin He said, “Zhou Nan is suspected of soliciting prostitution and causing trouble. He has been detained, and there is surveillance footage from the hotel to prove it. He can’t get away with it. They’ve also asked for a fine to be paid. I have to thank you… Mei Shu.”
After speaking, Lin He hesitated, looking at Mei Shu’s expression, she added, “Actually, you didn’t need to hide your true identity from me. I truly considered you like my real sister and would never betray you. I just wanted to know why you are here. Is it because of my mother-in-law?”
Mei Shu had originally planned to confess her identity in person, but Lin He had already found out ahead of her. She raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, “How did you find out?”
Regarding this matter, Lin He blushed slightly and appeared somewhat embarrassed. “Let’s not talk about that. You tell me first why you didn’t directly reveal your identity and why you insisted on living in my building.”
She had a series of questions to ask, but she was afraid of annoying Mei Shu.
Mei Shu smiled and said casually, “I won’t hide it from you. My initial intention was indeed Old Wang, but if I were to say that 1 deliberately lived in the apartment below yours, concealed my identity, and made contact with you all for the sake of you, would you be willing to believe it?”
Lin He had thought of countless reasons but hadn’t considered this one. She was taken aback and hesitated. “Why?”
Mei Shu diverted her gaze and looked at the high heels Lin He had yet to take off.
Those shoes were exquisite and beautiful, but they were clearly uncomfortable to wear. There was a red mark on Lin He’s instep, which stood out starkly on her otherwise flawless skin.
“It seems you haven’t worn high heels for many years, right?” Mei Shu asked with a smile. “I can tell you’re not comfortable in them anymore.”
Lin He was a little embarrassed and started to bend down to cover her feet but stopped herself and sat back down. “Yes, ever since I got married, I’ve been busy taking care of the house. I haven’t had a chance to wear them.”
“Could you tell me what you were like before you got married?” Mei Shu poured two glasses of juice, handed one to Lin He, and held the other in her hand. Then she casually sat next to Lin He.
Lin He, her face filled with nostalgia, spoke softly, “Before 1 got married, you might not believe it, but I was the president of the school’s dance club. I used to take the club members to perform all over the place. We even danced in bars. Back then, 1 earned a lot of money.”
When she talked about the past, her demeanor became relaxed, and her eyes filled with a radiant glow, as if in an instant, she had transformed back into the carefree, inexperienced girl she used to be.
Mei He quietly listened to how she had won awards and how she had traveled with her friends with the first bucket of money she had earned..
