Tantrum

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Mei Ye stood up excitedly, pointing at Mei Shu and roaring, “My son’s situation today is all because of you! How dare you speak sarcastically here?”

Mei Shu leaned back in her chair, nonchalantly saying, “Mr. Mei, weren’t you downstairs just now, singing the same tune with that old woman, saying I’m nothing and that the company will collapse soon under my management?” “Why are you now saying that I could have forced your son to death? Your son is in his thirties or forties. Can’t he handle a mere eighteen-year-old girl like me? By saying that, your son is just a complete waste.”

“Mei Shu!” Mei Ye shouted loudly, then stood still in place, staring with eyes wide open as if frozen.

Seeing the situation, the police quickly approached and helped him sit down on the sofa, patting his chest to calm him down. “Sir, are you okay? Do you need us to call an ambulance?”

“No need,” Mei Shu said, “he’s just feeling uncomfortable in the heart, but he doesn’t have heart disease. 1 have a private doctor who can come immediately. By then, we’ll know if he’s really ill.”

“You, you!” Mei Ye trembled, pointing at her for a while before dropping his hand weakly. “You’re unreasonable! There’s no justice anymore! Who can stand up for us common people?”

Is he throwing a tantrum now?

Mei Shu rolled her eyes silently, too lazy to bother with him, and continued to focus on her work.

Tang Mei was already admiring her immensely.

Things had escalated so much over here, yet Mei Shu seemed to be carrying on as if nothing happened, doing whatever she wanted without any consequences. Her work hadn’t been affected at all.

Such a mindset was indeed exceptionally good. If it were her, she would have been infuriated and unable to remain so relaxed.

The police also realized that the old man had been pretending just now. With a slight sigh, he said, “Sir, please don’t get so worked up. Let’s wait for the news first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone finally rang.

The old man jumped up from the sofa, pointing at the phone. “Answer it quickly. Is it your colleague calling with news?”

The police somewhat helplessly answered the call, put it on speakerphone so everyone in the room could hear, “Hello, Xiao Zhou, how’s the investigation going?”

“We’ve already been to the location provided on the receipts and confirmed that the receipts were indeed issued from their shop. Also, the surveillance footage shows that the current CEO of Mei Corporation, Mei Shu, is the one who bought these two vases. So, the receipts are genuine, and the claimant didn’t lie.”

“Okay, thank you, Xiao Zhou. You’ve done a great job.”

The police hung up the phone, smiling knowingly. “Uncle, Auntie, can we now discuss compensation?”

Pan Hua stood up abruptly, her face full of disbelief. “How is that possible? Where did this girl get so much money from? Buying houses and vases! It must be my son’s money! Officer, you must investigate again. If these two vases were indeed bought with my son’s money, why should I compensate her?”

This time, the police didn’t back down. With irrefutable evidence, no matter how much she threw a tantrum or played dumb, it was useless.

“Auntie, I’m sorry, but these two vases were bought by Mei Shu and should be considered her personal property. You barged into her company, deliberately smashed two vases, and then refused to compensate. We can completely detain you for disturbing public order. But considering your age and your relationship with the reporter, we can coordinate a private settlement. As long as you compensate, we can close the case.”

“What? You want me to pay 250,000 yuan? I don’t have that much money!” Pan Hua was at a loss, standing still in the office. The whole room fell silent for a moment.

After pondering for a while, she finally pinned her hopes on Mei Ye. “Second brother! I came here this time to seek justice for you! Speak up quickly. Do you really have the heart to see me go to jail?”

“Sister-in-law, it’s not that 1 don’t want to help you this time, but I really can’t come up with that much money. You know, my son is still in prison, and there will definitely be a lot of expenses in the future. I still have to help him repay the bank loan. 1 really can’t come up with 250,000 yuan now! You better figure out a solution yourself!”

At a critical moment, Mei Ye took on the role of bystander and directly pushed Pan Hua into the spotlight, intending to let her handle everything on her own. Anyway, the vase was something she herself had thrown a tantrum and wanted to break. It had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t need to get involved in this mess!

“I don’t know what else I can do,” Pan Hua said helplessly. “Officer, could you please investigate again? The money definitely came from my son. How could a mother be asked to compensate her own son? Isn’t that logical?”

Mei Shu’s laughter interrupted her incessant speech. Under the old lady’s glare, Mei Shu even applauded, “Bravo! Your top-notch blame-shifting and responsibility-avoiding skills are impressive. You want evidence, don’t you? Officer, I have evidence proving that this money has nothing to do with my father.. Let’s see what she has to say this time!”
