Chapter 111: Sophistry (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Yun was so angry that his head hurt. “Then why does Mei Mu want to see the information video about whether an illegitimate daughter can inherit the family fortune?”

Wang Yue wiped her tears aggrievedly. “How would I know? Don’t you know about short video apps nowadays! Everything you see is random. How can you not know your daughter’s personality? Is she such a scheming child?”

Mei Yun still couldn’t completely believe her.

What is there that Mei Mu wouldn’t do now?

Stealing money and coveting the family’s wealth.

She was no longer the innocent and adorable daughter from before.

Perhaps it was all instigated by Wang Yue!

Mei Qian pointed at Wang Yue’s nose angrily and scolded, “Let me tell you, if something doesn’t belong to you, don’t covet it! I’m already yours. What else are you not satisfied with?”

Initially, he and Bai Ling truly loved each other, and their family was harmonious. However, because of one drunken night, he woke up to find himself naked in bed with Wang Yue.

At first, he couldn’t believe it, but later Wang Yue came with a pregnancy report, and he had to take responsibility.

However, he couldn’t bear to divorce Bai Ling and couldn’t let go of such a happy and complete family. So he kept Wang Yue and her daughter outside. And he rarely visited Mei Mu.

Bai Ling, who was always proud and independent, naturally couldn’t tolerate her husband’s infidelity.

After she learned this, in addition to shock and disbelief, her next thought was to divorce Mei Yun.

Mei Yun knew he couldn’t salvage his marriage and could only let her go. Who would have thought that she would have an accident and pass away!

In his grief, Wang Yue brought Mei Mu to meet him.

The thin and timid little girl called him “Daddy,” and he knew he couldn’t continue to mistreat the child. He simply married Wang Yue and formally welcomed them into the Mei family.

But in his heart, he had never stopped missing Bai Ling.

Therefore, after this incident, compared to being angry at Mei Mu, Mei Yun was actually more frustrated that Wang Yue was not as good as Bai Ling in every aspect!

Hearing him mention this, Wang Yue knew that the knot in his heart hadn’t been resolved.

Over the years, he had been regretting that night, but did he not realize how hurtful it was to her?

All her grievances turned into anger, but she held them back.

“Honey, 1 know you’ve always regretted the accident we had that night, but does that mean the harm it caused me is insignificant? As an unmarried mother, do you know how difficult it was for me and my daughter to live alone? Do you know how our neighbors gossiped about me behind my back? Mei Mu couldn’t even lift her head in front of her classmates when she was young because they all laughed at her for not having a father.”

Mei Yun felt guilty and hung his head, speaking in a softer tone, “I know I owe you and our daughter all these years, but I am trying my best to make up for it now. I won’t withhold anything that Mei Mu deserves. 1 have always loved her dearly, and you should have seen that.”

“I know you treat Mei Mu well, but she is also filial to you! Your hitting today hurts her heart so much! I’ve already resolved the school matter, and our daughter was completely wronged! You hit her without knowing the truth of the school matter. How do you think that made her feel?” Having the chance, Wang Yue started to list Mei Yun’s wrongdoings.

Seeing that Mei Yun sighed and didn’t speak, she continued to complain, “Aren’t you afraid that Mumu will think that you won’t love her anymore after Mei Shu’s return?”

“How is that possible?” Mei Yun stood up dispiritedly, “Alright, 1’11 go apologize to Mumu. If she really was wronged in the school matter today, 1’11 make it up to her.”

Wang Yue ignored him and sat on the bed, wiping her tears.

Mei Yun sighed deeply, “Alright, 1 acted impulsively. Let me see how serious your injury is?”

“No need for you to check.” Wang Yue pouted and pushed his hand away.

Mei Yun knew she was giving him the silent treatment, but he didn’t have much patience left and put on a stern face, “Then 1’11 go check on Mumu first.” “Eh, you!” Wang Yue watched him leave the room and stamped her foot in anger.

Outside, Mei Yan heard his father was going out, so he quickly withdrew the ear pressed against the door and hurried back to his room.

After Mei Yun left, he crept downstairs. He wanted to wait for his sister to come back and tell her the news!

In the bedroom, as soon as Mei Mu sat down, she heard the door behind her being pushed open again.

She thought it would be Wang Yue, but she didn’t expect her stern-looking father to walk in.

Seeing that his daughter’s eyes were red from crying, Mei Yun’s heart softened. He coughed to ease the awkwardness and said, “How do you explain what happened at school today?”

“Dad, I’m really innocent. I’ve already explained everything to the teacher!” Mei Mu lowered his head nervously and twisted his fingers.

Mei Yun glanced at her small gestures and said calmly, “Is that true? Are you not lying to me?”

“Of course not! Otherwise, why would the school let me come back home? The police were there too. If I really stole the money, they would have taken me to the police station, wouldn’t they?” Mei Mu blinked her teary eyes innocently.

Mei Yun’s heart completely softened. He took the initiative to wipe her tears. “It was all Dad’s fault just now. Dad apologizes to you..”
