At that time, Mei Mu had just finished the interview in the ward.

With enthusiasm, Wang Yue saw Zhang Han off. As she returned, an uncontainable smile appeared on her face. “It’s still your aunt who cares for you. This time, we’ll just directly crush Mei Shu, leaving her unable to make a comeback!”

“Mom, I feel so happy when I see people online cursing her. I’ve finally found a way to vent!” Mei Mu’s eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

Just wait and see. As long as this incident became significant, the school would surely step in to protect its image. By that time, they might even expel Mei Shu directly! Otherwise, it would be impossible to quell the public’s anger! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wang Yue thought the same way. She sat down beside Mei Mu, smiling contentedly. “You’re really clever, my daughter. Once we force Mei Shu out, all her shares will fall into your hands. Then, 1’11 raise those boys to be useless, and everything in the Mei family will be yours!”

“Thank you, Mom. 1 know you’re the best to me.” Mei Mu leaned into her mother’s embrace.

Wang Yue gently ruffled her hair with a tender touch. “Silly child, I’m your mother. If I don’t care for you, who will?”

Mei Mu joyfully cuddled her mother while acting cutely.

For a while, the mother and daughter in the ward were harmonious, and the atmosphere was exceptionally warm. Yet, no one knew that they were discussing something extremely despicable and shameless.

Just as Mei Mu was smugly pleased with her own actions, her phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and discovered that it was Mei Yun calling, causing her to glance uneasily at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue signaled her to stay calm. “Answer it. Your father might be calling about Mei Shu. If he mentions Mei Shu bullying at school, pretend you know nothing. If he talks about the injury on your head, tell him that your aunt mentioned it and you have nothing to do with it.”

Mei Mu hesitated and nodded. With her mother’s encouragement, she pressed the answer button.

Little did she expect that as soon as the call was connected, Mei Yun’s thunderous roar resonated through the entire ward. “Mei Mu, are the things about Mei Shu online your doing? She’s your own sister! How could you harm her like this?”

Mei Mu pretended to sob and quickly defended herself. “Dad, what are you saying? The doctor just changed my medicine, and 1 was about to sleep. Why are you suddenly saying this about me? When did 1 post anything about my sister online?”

“Are you daring to lie!” Mei Yun was so angry that his veins popped, gripping the phone with bulging tendons. “Go online and see for yourself. Look at what you’ve done!”

“Dad, I really didn’t.”

Though she said so, a smile almost imperceptibly curved at the corners of Mei Mu’s mouth.

Seeing her father enraged like this, it was clear that Mei Shu’s incident had indeed significantly impacted the Mei family.

As long as she staunchly denied it, her father wouldn’t be able to link her to this matter.

“Look for yourself!” Mei Yun roared one final time before abruptly hanging up.

Mei Mu rolled her eyes dismissively. “Fine, 1’11 look. I’m curious to see how everyone is now cursing Mei Shu.”

She opened her phone and prepared to see Mei Shu’s downfall with Wang Yue.

There were many private messages under her account, just as there were last night. Everyone was asking for more details about Mei Shu in private messages, and they were helping her severely criticize Mei Shu for her malicious behavior.

Mei Mu replied to each message with a friendly tone, feigning innocence while acting as though she couldn’t stand Mei Shu’s actions, joining in to curse Mei Shu alongside the others.

She believed she would find the same sort of messages when she opened her messages today.

Today’s messages seemed to be even more numerous than yesterday’s. Unexpectedly, she had inadvertently become a small internet celebrity through this approach.

The thought of soon becoming popular left Mei Mu so excited that her hands trembled.

However, when she opened her messages and saw the people cursing at her, her whole being froze in disbelief.

“Who do you think you are? A fame-hungry internet celebrity trying to ride the wave? You’re going insane for fame, huh? Blocked and deleted. Never see you again!”

“Yesterday, I actually treated you as a kindred spirit. 1 must have been blind. Creatures like you, who crawl out of the gutter, belong in the sewer! Wait for the lawyer’s letter!”

“What’s going on?” Mei Mu couldn’t keep up, her bewildered gaze shifting to her mother beside her.

Wang Yue snatched the phone from her hand and hurriedly opened Mei Shu’s entry.

Originally, the entry’s highest popularity was that media compilation of all Mei Mu’s accusations against Mei Shu. But now, the highest-rated dynamic was an official announcement.

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Wang Yue’s heart.

With trembling hands, she clicked on the dynamic. After carefully reading through all the evidence from start to finish, her heart cooled completely.

Mei Mu had been watching the whole time.

She couldn’t believe that her baseless words were being found and used as evidence!

Who was so meddling?

Mei Mu was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone, but she quickly calmed herself.

She hadn’t reached a dead end yet. Perhaps the recording in Zhang Han’s hand would be her only lifeline..
