Chapter 373: Jealousy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Shu had never dared to look at this report.

The car accident back then was too horrifying.

Bai Ling’s face was almost unrecognizable.

Whenever Mei Shu thought about the scene at that time, she would feel a palpitation, as if she were a person drowning and unable to breathe.

But now, Lu Si was laying this report in front of her as if it were nothing.

Mei Shu subconsciously held his hand, feeling a wave of discomfort in her stomach. Iler face turned pale in an instant. “No, I don’t want to see it.”

Lu Si paused in his actions. He looked serious and said, “Don’t you want to find out the hidden details of your mother’s car accident?”

“I…,” Mei Shu’s voice trembled.

Lu Si stood up, gave up the best position in front of the computer, then pressed her shoulders, forcing her to sit in the chair. He said, “Then you need to carefully look through it. There are doubts about your mother’s death in this report. If you don’t read it, won’t you miss an important clue?”

Mei Shu couldn’t understand what this man wanted to do now.

She felt that Lu Si today seemed different from the previous him.

Could it be related to the conversation between Mei Mu and him last night?

Suppressed for too long and suddenly angered by coercion, Mei Shu suddenly became irritable. She glared at him with an unpleasant expression. “Helping me with these things is of no benefit to Mei Mu.”

Lu Si raised an eyebrow, looking at her with profound meaning. “Why bring her up suddenly?”

Mei Shu snorted and said, “She must have given you a substantial gift last night. I really didn’t expect you to actually accept things from her!”

“So, you’re jealous?”

Lu Si’s voice suddenly became very close.

Mei Shu raised her head only to find that this man had somehow approached her. His handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her, and their breaths were blending in the narrow space.

“You’re jealous,” Lu Si laughed in a low voice. This time, he didn’t use a questioning tone but said it with certainty.

Mei Shu’s anger instantly dissipated by more than half.

It had to be said; some people being exceptionally good-looking indeed had advantages.

Lu Si had good looks, pleasing to the eye, and this increased her level of tolerance toward him.

But Mei Shu wasn’t infatuated. There were still things that needed to be taken into account.

She pushed away Lu Si’s devilishly handsome face, looked away, and said expressionlessly, “Don’t be presumptuous. 1 warned you as a friend. I don’t care what agreement you reached with Mei Mu or if you really accepted something from her, but Mei Mu is someone I must deal with. If you have a good relationship with her, then our friendship ends here.”

“You’re ruthless.” Lu Si chuckled, straightened up, and saw Mei Shu about to explode. He quickly put away his playful attitude, not daring to continue teasing her. “Alright, what do you want to know? Why such a big temper for no reason?”

Mei Shu gave him a disdainful look, her face still not good.

Lu Si sighed, “I didn’t make any agreement with her. However, she does want to cooperate with me.”

“Cooperate with what?” Mei Shu stared at him as if he had committed a major ethical mistake.

Seeing her expression, Lu Si was overjoyed, but his expression became even more solemn. “How should I make you belong to me?”

“Don’t joke!” Mei Shu stared at him fiercely.

Lu Si’s face was full of smiles, “I’m not joking. She said she could help me get you, but the condition is that I use my connections to get her mother out of the police station.”

“Is that all?” Mei Shu always felt that this man was hiding something from her.

With a calm look, Lu Si let her look him up and down. “When have 1 ever lied to you?”

Mei Shu carefully observed him for a while before retracting her gaze. “Mei Mu is quite cunning. How does she dare to use me as a bargaining chip in exchange for conditions with you?”

“I don’t know.” Lu Si innocently shrugged his shoulders, pointing to the autopsy report on the screen. “So, do you want to see the clues inside?”

Mei Shu’s breath paused, and the blood drained from her face in an instant.

She had almost forgotten, amidst Lu Si’s teasing, that the system running on the screen had automatically brought up the autopsy report of Bai Ling.

She just needed to turn her head slightly to see the photo of her mother at the moment of death.

Tears gathered in her eyes in an instant.

Mei Shu almost burst into tears in front of him.

Lu Si was surprised by her reaction and quickly handed her a tissue. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have forced you. 1 just thought that knowing there might be clues here, you would want to see it for yourself.”

“No need to apologize.” Mei Shu pushed away his offered tissue and tried to look up, forcing back the tears in her eyes. “I do want to see it myself. In fact, over the years, I have never forgotten the appearance of my mother under that white cloth.”

Bai Ling was a top beauty in the circle back then.

But after her death, she became a mess of flesh and blood. Her former beauty turned into an indistinguishable mass of flesh, and the sunny air and perfume that used to surround her became a nauseating smell of blood..
