In the evening, the usually quiet Li Family villa became lively.

Sheng Hongfei stood in the kitchen with her arms crossed as she nagged at the butler and maids. Old Master Li passed his walking stick to the servant beside him and held Wu Mei's hand. He gently patted the back of her hand to get her to sit beside him. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he said, "The kitchen specially cooked your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs. Eat more."

"You've lost a lot of weight recently. It makes Grandpa's heart ache."

Seeing how close they were, Li Nanchen's gaze was filled with tenderness as he stood beside Old Master Li and gently rubbed Wu Mei's shoulders.

Old Master Li caught sight of two figures and said calmly, "Ask them to sit with us."

When Lin Liguo and Lin Piaopiao heard this, they immediately sat down happily. They deliberately sat down beside Sheng Hongfei and smiled shyly at her.

When Lin Piaopiao heard that Sheng Hongfei was the Second Aunt of the Li family, she thought that she was slowly being accepted by the Li family. She pretended to be dignified and elegant as she raised her chopsticks and took small bites of her rice. Her delicate and soft demeanor made Bi Fang so disgusted that he couldn't eat!

Sheng Hongfei had a good impression of her and could not help but praise her, "Take a look, this young lady is so good!"

"Girls should be more gentle. Don't be like some women who are rude and start fighting and killing at the drop of a hat. Their words are also shrewish and unpleasant to the ear..."

After Sheng Hongfei said that, she glanced at Wu Mei and added sarcastically, "You dress in black all day. It's so unlucky!"

"Back then, Nanchen's parents yearned for a gentle daughter-in-law who could take care of Nanchen. In my opinion..."

Sheng Hongfei had just raised her voice when Li Nanchen interrupted her, "I have hands and feet. I don't need anyone to take care of me."

Seeing that he was defending her, Wu Mei had a smile on her face. In a good mood, she gave Li Nanchen two pieces of pork ribs and slowly retorted, "If it were Lin Piaopiao who came across the situation yesterday, Li Nanchen and her would probably already be dead here! What's the use of being gentle?"

Sheng Hongfei couldn't rebuff and froze on the spot. Holding her bowl, she glanced at Li Zhuo, trying to get him to speak up for her. However, Li Zhuo's face darkened.

She could only forcefully salvage her reputation and say, "Wu Mei, don't be angry. I was just voicing out my thoughts! Don't misunderstand..."

Wu Mei looked up at her and Li Dongjue with interest. She poked him gently with her index finger and said, "Since Lin Piaopiao is so great, why doesn't Second Aunt get her to be Dongjue's fiancée? They're both not married. Plus, since you like her so much, you will definitely be the kindest and best mother-in-law in the world."

The atmosphere instantly turned cold. Sheng Hongfei's face fell. She wanted to argue with Wu Mei, but Li Dongjue stopped her.

Li Dongjue's gaze was gentle as he said, "Relationships need to be slowly nurtured by two people. In our modern society, there's no such thing as arranged marriages. Mom is just envious that Brother Nanchen can find a wife like Sister-in-law who is of the same mind as him and she's just worried about me."

Hearing his words, Wu Mei narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Li Dongjue. He doesn't look simple!

She was too lazy to continue dealing with Sheng Hongfei. After dinner, she returned to the bedroom. Wu Mei looked at the red circle drawn around the date on the calendar. It's almost time for Mother Wu's second treatment. However, Li Nanchen and Bi Fang are still not out of danger and the Viper Organization can attack at any moment!

Li Nanchen has not fully recovered from his injuries. With Li Zhuo and Sheng Hongfei causing trouble here in the villa, how could Wu Mei leave just like that?

Looking at Li Nanchen, who had come out of the bathroom, she took the initiative to say, "I want to bring Mom over to stay for a few days."

Li Nanchen wiped his hair with a towel and gladly agreed, "Okay, I'll send someone to bring her over from the Wu family's house tomorrow. I'll get the butler to tidy up the two guest rooms next door in advance. It should be more convenient if she's closer to you."

Wu Mei's lips curled up and she said teasingly, "You're that sweet?"

The next day, the people Li Nanchen sent to the Wu Family fetched Mother Wu over. However, at the same time, a few hateful faces tagged along as well.

Wu Pang barged into the villa. Under Wu Mei's surprised gaze, he ran to Old Master Li and interrupted him while he was drinking tea. He said, "Old Master, long time no see. How have you been? I haven't been living well!"

"This unfilial daughter, Wu Mei. She is targeting the Wu Family at every turn now, and driving us into a corner till we can't even live on anymore..."

"She even arranged for us to stay in the servant building. You have to control her and not let her continue to be so unfilial and rebellious!"
