"Mom? Don't be afraid!"

Hugging the unconscious Mother Wu in her arms, Wu Mei tried her best to calm Mother Wu's anxious and agitated emotions by coaxing her over and over again.

After Mother Wu calmed down a little, Wu Mei raised her head and glared at Wu Pang, who was watching the show.

"What did you guys do to her? How did she end up like this?!"

Wu Pang refused to admit it and said that he needed Mother Wu to live here. How could he possibly harm her?

"Daughter! Leave Li Nanchen! He's very dangerous. We'll die..."

Mother Wu suddenly grabbed her hand and repeated anxiously, "Li Nanchen! You can't be with him. Promise Mom, okay? Something will happen to you! Don't see him anymore! Stay with Mom. Mom will protect you!"

Her eyes were filled with agitation and fear as she kept mentioning Li Nanchen's name...

Wu Mei was puzzled. She thought that Mother Wu had a premonition that Li Nanchen would be assassinated.

In order to comfort Mother Wu temporarily, she patted Mother Wu's knee lightly and nodded as she coaxed, "I'll listen to you. I won't go anywhere and will just stay by your side, okay? Let's go back to the room!"

Downstairs, Wu Yi was playing with her phone in the living room.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, she raised her head and saw Li Nanchen. She instantly stood up in joy and went up to him. "Brother-in-law? No, you divorced my sister. I should call you Brother Nanchen! Why are you here?"

"Where's she?" Li Nanchen asked.

Wu Yi could feel that he was deliberately keeping a distance from her, but she refused to give up and pointed upstairs as she said, "Auntie's health isn't too good. She's taking care of her in the room. I'll pour you a cup of tea. Can you wait for a while? It probably isn't appropriate for you to barge in now."

Li Nanchen did not respond and sat down silently.

His eyes were cold. He placed his dark jacket beside him and waited with a chill emitting from his fingertips...

The only person who could make Wu Mei nervous was Mother Wu. When Li Nanchen saw her going out while wearing a thin nightdress, he quickly chased after her to pass her some clothes.

Holding a cup of hot tea, Wu Yi deliberately twisted her body to get closer to Li Nanchen. She bent down to reveal her breasts to seduce him.

However, Li Nanchen pushed her arm away and said, "Get lost!"

Wu Yi yelled indignantly, "Stop thinking about Sister! She has a lot of men by her side. She had messy relationships during the time you were married!"

"We all know that!" Wu Yi said deliberately to sow discord.

Li Nanchen's brows furrowed tightly. He suddenly recalled that Wu Mei had indeed stalked a man two days ago. His expression darkened.

Wu Yi observed his expression and rolled her eyes.

Did they really have a fight?

Recalling the current situation, she pretended to be kind and placed the cup of tea aside. She took the initiative to suggest, "Let me take you to find Sister. If you only believe her words, it's useless no matter what I say!"

Li Nanchen followed her to Mother Wu's bedroom. Through the gap in the door, he could see Wu Mei combing Mother Wu's hair.

Mother Wu grabbed Wu Mei's hand tightly and said, "You have to fulfill your promise to me!"

Wu Mei looked at her head of white hair and froze for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, Li Nanchen and I have been divorced for a long time. We will never meet again! Even if he appears in front of me, I won't even look at him. There are so many men who are better than him in the world. Which one do you like, Mom?"

"I'll definitely find you a son-in-law that pleases you! He'll be a hundred times better than Li Nanchen, okay?"

Smugly, Wu Yi looked at Li Nanchen's gradually ashen expression.

He pursed his lips. So that's what Wu Mei is thinking?

He is the one who insisted on pestering her and annoyed her!

Li Nanchen turned around and left silently. Wu Yi followed him downstairs. She figured that if Li Nanchen heard those hurtful words, he would definitely not forgive Wu Mei. She could then take the opportunity to get close to Li Nanchen. As long as she became the mistress of the Li family, she would be able to obtain riches worth hundreds of billions!

...

"I'll come and visit you every day for the next few days! If you're feeling unwell, tell me anytime!"

Wu Mei turned on the night-light in the bedroom and poured herself a cup of lemon water. She then placed it on the bedside table. Looking at Mother Wu, who was lying down obediently, she couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

Mother Wu had also started to rely on her and held her hand tightly. This made Wu Mei decide to treat her mental illness faster and take her away from Wu Pang as soon as possible. Wu Mei would only be at ease if she took care of Mother Wu herself!

Just as Wu Mei was about to leave, she passed by the living room and caught a glimpse of the jacket on the sofa and the steaming hot tea. She looked up and stared at Wu Yi as she asked, "Li Nanchen was here?"

Wu Yi avoided her gaze, but she still shook her head adamantly and stalled for time as she said, "No! Do you want to sit down and have some tea?"

Something's not right!

Wu Mei thought of the footsteps she had heard just now and guessed what had happened. She hurriedly chased after him!
