《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 173: The Real Culprit Behind the Scenes
Advertisement
The atmosphere in the living room was solemn. No one had expected Mother Wu to be the one to secretly harm Li Nanchen. Everyone looked at Wu Mei with different gazes, waiting to see how she would deal with it.
Wu Mei brought Mother Wu out. She squatted down and looked up into Mother Wu's clear and pure eyes. In a soft voice, she probed, "Mom, did you go to the kitchen these few days? Do you still remember what you did?"
Mother Wu tilted her head and raised her hand to tuck the stray hair that fell from Wu Mei's forehead behind her ear. She nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes."
"I found a bottle of medicinal powder and put it in his medicine... Mei'er will be happy if he drinks it!"
Mother Wu directly admitted to what she had done, causing the expressions of everyone present to change. Off and on, she described the appearance of the medicinal powder, and her thoughts jumped around as she smiled. She patted Wu Mei's hand as if asking for credit and said, "Didn't I do well? Why is Mei'er unhappy?"
Sheng Hongfei avoided Mother Wu's gaze and stood up. Afraid that Mother Wu would say something else, she quickly interrupted her and shouted, "The Li family can't keep her here anymore!"
"If she can drug Li Nanchen today, she can harm us tomorrow! She's crazy now. We don't want to hold her responsible!"
"Wu Mei, hurry up and move out with her today..."
Mother Wu was so frightened by Sheng Hongfei that she curled up in panic and fear. She hid in Wu Mei's arms and shut her eyes tightly as her entire body trembled.
Wu Mei believed that Mother Wu would not do anything to hurt Li Nanchen. Raising her hand, she gently patted Mother Wu's back to comfort her. In an exceptionally patient manner, Wu Mei asked, "Mom, why do you think I'll be happy?"

"Did someone tell you something? Or ask you to do it?"
Wu Mei felt that Sheng Hongfei's actions were somewhat abnormal. With Mother Wu's current condition, it was impossible for her to carry out a meticulous and thorough plan, unless someone secretly instructed her!
When Mother Wu heard her question, she raised her hand and pointed at Sheng Hongfei as she murmured, "She said that drinking the powder will restore health."
"Mei'er likes him, but his health isn't good!"
"When I help him recover, Mei'er will smile!"
Mother Wu was like a child learning how to speak. She tried her best to organize her words to express her thoughts and intentions.
The maids and butlers all turned to look at Sheng Hongfei. They didn't expect the second branch to actually use a sick and stupid woman to murder Li Nanchen!
Sheng Hongfei sensed that the development wasn't right and immediately denied, "Who heard me say this to her?"
"She's not a normal person at all now. What she said is not believable!"
"Who knows if she is deliberately smearing my name?"
Wu Mei comforted Mother Wu. Glaring at Sheng Hongfei fiercely, she asked, "Without your incitement and deliberate enticement, how would she find the medicinal powder and accurately place it in Li Nanchen's medicine?"
"You probably haven't had the time to destroy or deal with that bottle of powder yet, right?"
"If I send someone to search the room now, do you think the powder will be in my mother's room or yours?"
Wu Mei narrowed her eyes. She had already guessed what had happened. Suppressing her anger, she stood up.
Sheng Hongfei instantly looked at Li Zhuo in panic and retorted guiltily, "What right do you have to search? This is the Li family's house, you have no rights to mess around!"

Her various reactions had already proven who the real instigator of the poison incident was. However, if they pursued the matter to the end, Mother Wu would also be treated as an accomplice and dealt with.
Li Nanchen pondered for a moment before standing up and walking to Wu Mei's side. He gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder and used a little force to get her to calm down.
"I won't pursue what happened today."
"But I hope that similar things won't happen in the villa again ..."
Li Nanchen glared at Li Zhuo and Sheng Hongfei. He slowly said, "Second Uncle came back to China to attend my funeral."
"But I'm fine now and I'll be able to return to the Li Corporation soon. Second Uncle, isn't it about time for you to go overseas to deal with the branch company's affairs? If you stay in the country, I'm afraid many things will be difficult to deal with, won't it?"
Li Nanchen clearly wanted to use this matter to chase them overseas. Li Zhuo's expression revealed his displeasure and he remained silent without answering.
On the other hand, Sheng Hongfei couldn't sit still and stood up. With her hands on her hips, she said, "Aren't we members of the Li Family?"
"We came back to stay for a few days. Do I still have to mind your attitude?! At the end of the day, you're a junior.. Have you forgotten the rules of respecting your elders?"

Saint's Supporter
Dumped into a world by myself, set up with a class that requires others to excel with just over a week to prepare for a fight with a literal god. This is just another betrayal to add to the list. I won't stop until I find the person who put me in this situation, along with my friend who I dragged into this mess. Transferring to another world and gaining special powers is a dream for some, but if they were dropped into my shoes... they'd probably give up. But I won't. This story has the following elements: Male MC Light RPG mechanics (no in-story stat tables) Non-standard class for the MC Moderate violence A mix of solo fights and group battles with a balance of tactics, skill and ability usage If you're looking for the below, you may be disappointed: Instantly overpowered MC (no prior skills in combat, every bit of growth is earned) Female MC (duh) Explicit sex (may be referenced, but no NSFW chapters) Health bars (damage taken and given reflects reality) Harem Gore and ultra-violence **This story is a First Draft, changes may take place during the process. Three chapters per week at minimum.** **So, this is set up as a GameLit transported to a new world story initially, but it focuses on how such a system would work in real life. There are levels, abilities and mana pools, but damage and health are realistic and combat is fast and frantic. I think that is an interesting mix. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments. I'm always happy to discuss anything in relation to the story.**

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.
