“Shu’er.” Lin He hadn’t expected to confess this at this moment.

After all, that was her mother…

Tears blurred Lin He’s eyes, and suddenly she couldn’t see Mei Shu’s face clearly. She realized that Mei Shu actually had reasons to hate her.

Wu Hui exclaimed, “Mei Shu, are you saying that your mother’s accident years ago was caused by Lin He’s ex-husband?”

“Yes.” Mei Shu remained calm. “In the whole incident, my mother was the biggest victim. As her daughter, I have more say than Feng Wei. 1 believe Lin He was completely unaware of the incident, and when it happened, Lin He and her ex-husband were not even acquainted. So, attributing this to Lin He is too far-fetched.”

“Mei Shu! Even if she was unaware, she once shared a bed with the person who killed your mother. Doesn’t that bother you at all?” Feng Wei persisted in sowing discord.

Mei Shu remained cool and composed. “What bothers me most now is that you, who were supposed to be completely erased from this circle after being expelled from the Piano Association, can still attend the ball personally hosted by Ms. Feng.”

“You’re deliberately targeting me!” Feng Wei shouted angrily. “Don’t think 1 don’t know. Mei Cheng’s company collapsed so quickly probably because of your manipulation!”

As she spoke, she also glanced angrily at Lu Si, her meaning crystal clear.

Lu Si innocently shrugged. “That’s a matter of the business world. I don’t think anyone here wants to know the details of your company’s bankruptcy. But the high-interest loan is your own doing, and Mei Cheng decided to abandon you on his own. That has nothing to do with me.”

!!..

“You!” Feng Wei looked like she wanted to curse, but facing Lu Si, she ultimately didn’t dare to speak out, just swallowing her words in frustration.

“So, the person who should leave here the most is you,” Mei Shu said. “And Ms. Feng, I believe you should have already seen Lin He’s talent and character. Although her current level may not meet your expectations, I believe you didn’t choose her just for her dancing skills, right?”

With that, Mei Shu held Lin He’s hand and turned to leave.

At this moment, Feng Mo said, “Wait!”

They stopped in their tracks, but didn’t turn around.

Feng Mo stood in front of them and said, “I still want to talk to Lin He alone about the decision I made just now.”

Mei Shu glanced at Lin He and said, “Ms. Feng, there’s something you need to understand first. Lin He doesn’t have to become your daughter for her to have a bright future. I believe you should recognize her abilities and talents. Of course, her current level may not fully meet your expectations, but your initial interest in her surely wasn’t just based on that, right?”

Feng Mo nodded in acknowledgment. “Yes, what 1 valued most was her seemingly fragile but actually resilient heart. That’s why I said what 1 said just now.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Wei became anxious. “Mom, you don’t want to replace me with someone related to a murderer, do you?”

Feng Mo put away the guilt she had shown to Lin He earlier and said expressionlessly, “Feng Wei, I’ve known about Lin He’s past for a long time. She’s about to become my nominal daughter. How could 1 not investigate her past?”

“Ms. Feng…” Lin He murmured in astonishment.

Feng Mo smiled gently. “Silly child, you should call me Mom. 1 made the decision to take you as my foster daughter after careful consideration. How could I easily change my mind because of a few words from others?”

“Are you saying that you didn’t want to abandon me?” Lin He walked up to her, tears welling up in her eyes, unable to control her emotions as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Feng Mo, feeling sorry for her, pulled her into an embrace and patted her head, comforting her, “Silly child, accepting you as my adopted daughter was a decision 1 made after careful consideration. How could I easily change my mind because of a few words from others?”

“Yeah! I understand! Thank you, Mom!” Lin He nestled in her arms, nodding incessantly, crying like a child who had almost lost her home, helpless yet endearing.

Feng Mo was well aware of Lin He’s background.

Not only did she know about Lin He’s past marriage where she was mistreated, but she also knew that Lin He had been orphaned since childhood, and her only aunt had ignored her existence.

This child was someone who could easily evoke sympathy.

Considering all the hardships she had endured alone, how could Feng Mo despise her because of her past?

Everyone present was moved by the mother-daughter affection between them.

Only Feng Wei’s expression became increasingly ferocious.. In the end, she couldn’t bear it anymore, rushed over, forcefully separating the two, and said fiercely, “Lin He, Mei Shu, I won’t let you go! Mom, you will regret it in the future! Lin He is just after your money and your reputation! When you get older, you will realize how she could never treat you like a real mother!”
