Tang Mei poured her a glass of water before whispering, “President Mei, they’re waiting outside. Are you really planning to meet them? I think they’re here to make trouble.”

“What else do you think they would want with me?” Mei Shu signed her name in the designated place and then handed the document to Tang Mei. “How’s the preparation going for the program next week that Ms. Feng is attending?”

Talking about business, Tang Mei immediately became serious. “It’s all arranged. We expect to finish the setup this weekend. You can invite Ms. Feng to visit the venue together and see if there are any modifications needed. There’s still time to rearrange if necessary.”

Mei Shu nodded. “Then help me schedule a dinner with Ms. Feng and Miss Lin this weekend. We’ll take a look at the setup while we’re at it.”

“Sure, President Mei.”

Tang Mei made way for her and followed her out with the documents in her arms.

In the reception room outside:

As soon as Pan Hua saw Mei Shu come out, she couldn’t sit still. She stood up and shouted at her, “You little slut, you still have the nerve to come out to see me? Come over here, I want to ask you something today!”

“Proceed with your arrangements,” Mei Shu whispered to Tang Mei before walking into the reception room alone, leaving the door open.

Seeing Mei Shu not responding, Pan Hua thought she felt guilty, so she raised her voice even louder, “Why aren’t you speaking? Mei Shu, Mei Cheng is your uncle, yet you can send him to jail yourself. What else are you capable of? Today, your Second Grandfather and 1 are here to demand an explanation from you!”

After saying this, she even pushed Mei Ye’s shoulder with her hand.

Mei Ye frowned in annoyance and reluctantly spoke up, “Yes, Mei Shu, we are the closest relatives. Since you’ve sent my son to jail, you owe us an explanation.”

Mei Shu casually sat on the sofa, her expression calm and composed. “Explanation for what? Since you already know about this matter, it must be because you received notice from the police. What else do I need to explain? Didn’t the police inform you of all the details?”

Mei Ye nodded, “The police mentioned something about Mesheng’s involvement in kidnapping and running a gambling den. But what I want to ask you is, how did you happen to be at the scene, and did you really help the outsiders to capture your uncle?”

“Tell me! I’d like to see what excuses you can come up with now!” Pan Hua said, stiffening her neck and sitting back arrogantly on the sofa.

Mei Shu smiled coldly. “Why would I need excuses? Let me tell you the truth. Last night, I intentionally went to catch Mei Cheng under the guise of paying ransom. Before 1 went, I already knew he was likely the one scheming behind the scenes. As expected, he’s exactly the kind of brainless and petty man I thought he was, easily lured out by me and then caught by the police.”

Mei Ye’s face showed disbelief, gritting his teeth as he questioned, “Why would you do such a thing!”

Mei Shu shrugged innocently, looking very composed. “Of course, because I am a law-abiding citizen. It’s my duty to cooperate with the police. How could 1 easily let go of someone like Mei Cheng, who disturbs public order and kidnaps for ransom?”

“He’s your uncle! Don’t forget, your surname is also Mei!” Mei Ye’s chest heaved with anger.

Seizing the opportunity, Pan Hua added fuel to the fire, “I’ve told you before, Mei Shu is not to be trifled with. She won’t stop until she turns the whole Mei family upside down. We can’t keep her in the Mei family any longer, or who knows whose turn it’ll be next after Cheng’er!”

Mei Ye was incited by her words, his emotions boiling. He stepped forward, walking slowly to Mei Shu’s face, glaring at her and pointing his finger, “Don’t you feel even a hint of guilt in your heart? Since you came back, the entire Mei family has been in turmoil. Don’t you think it’s all because of you?”

“Because of me?” Mei Shu raised her eyebrows disdainfully, a mocking curve on her lips. “Am I the one who made Mei Cheng open the gambling den? Am I the one who made him kidnap someone’s brother and extort three million? Am 1 the one who made him attack someone with a knife and hold it to their throat? Didn’t he do all these things on his own?”

Mei Ye suddenly felt a discomfort in his heart. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and struggled to calm himself down. “Then let me ask you, is it because of you that Mei Cheng ended up like this today? Did you sabotage Mei Cheng’s company intentionally?”

Mei Shu shrugged indifferently, looking innocent. “Of course it was because of me. But it’s because he deliberately targeted me first. We had a fair competition, but he lost to me and lost everything. That’s his own incompetence.”

“Alright! So you admit that Ah Cheng’s current situation is all because of you?” Mei Ye was so angry that he paced back and forth in the reception room for a long time before stopping abruptly and turning to her. “In that case, as the elder of the Mei family, I now declare that the Mei family completely cut ties with you, Mei Shu. From now on, none of the other Mei family companies will ever have any dealings with you.. Do you have any objections?”
