Chapter 213 - Family?

Mother Yu glanced at Yu Jinhai. This boy was their final hope and the last weapon to take Yu Mei down. Once she falls, it will be easy to stomp on her. And she believed nothing could go wrong in this. Yu Jinhai was an honest child. So honest that no matter what happened, he won't utter a single lie from his mouth. He was completely opposite from his crafty elder sister. 

Even though Yu Mei was treating him well now, in the past, she had raised her hand on him, sold him off, and treated him like shit. And Yu Jinhai who has never lied in his life won't do it now, would he?

Mother Yu smirked. Once he told everyone the truth, Yu Mei Zhen would be done for. Even when he will say that his sister treats him nicely now, the woman will have to go to jail as an attempt to sell off a young child is a punishable crime. With that, her career will be over. Her reputation will go down and the arrogant woman will come to her knees.

Her employer will abandon her too. Who will want such a troublesome mistress for himself? 

Father Yu was also going through the same thoughts. He could still remember the way he was insulted by her employer at his own villa. His company has been going through countless ups and downs during this period, they lost big business deals and he realized much later that this was all because of this immoral daughter of his who incited her powerful employer against him.

This was the time to deal with this. Once and for all. 

Yu Mei glanced at Yu Jinhai who was looking at her unblinkingly. There was something weird about his gaze. She noticed it since morning but she didn't delve deeper into it back then. 

From the corner of her eyes, she saw Shi Luo approaching them. She slowly shook her head at the woman. It was better to not drag her in all this. She did not want to interrupt her friend's peaceful life by all this media and reporters who might trail after her to get information.

Shi Luo cursed under her breath but she stayed put in her place because of the woman's stern gaze.

"Young Master Yu, did your sister really sell you off?" The reporters started getting impatient and crowded around the boy once again.

Yu Mei frowned, "Distance."

"_" The reporters pursed their lips as they quickly moved back from the boy. 

Yu Jinhai blinked, "She didn't."

There was a few seconds of silence that lingered in the hall before they bombarded the boy with another round of questions. 

The boy blinked, "My Jie has always been kind to me. She will never think of harming me."

Yu Mei's brows tugged together. One thing she has observed about him was that the boy never lied. He would be honest about everything, no matter big or small.

"Father went to my school and told me that I will have to come here or else my Jie will be in danger. On our way to this place, he convinced me to speak about all that," Yu Jinhai added. 

"You punk.." Master Yu grabbed the boy by his arm.

Yu Mei pursed her lips but before she could move, a powerfully dominant voice boomed in the hall.

"Jin Jitong, you dare!" 

Everyone's gaze turned towards the source of the voice as they watched an old man making his way towards the stage. His powerful steps and cold countenance made the crowd part to give him the way. 

Yu Mei frowned when she recognized the old man. Wasn't it Li Shuang's grandfather? She turned around to look at Father Yu whose face has turned pale at this point.

Jin Jitong? 

Who is that? Is there a new character in the scene? She did not expect it at all. How was she supposed to react?

Li Shuang's grandfather stopped right in front of her as he looked at her with a weird, almost emotional gaze. 

She blinked. 

"Girl, let me deal with this bunch of ingrates," The old man said, schooling his expressions. 

"With pleasure-cough cough..." She snapped out of her daze, "I mean sure."

The old man nodded, "I hope you can spare Dream Entertainment," He stroked her head. 

Her brows tugged together but before she could say something, her hand was grabbed by someone. She turned around to look at Li Shuang who motioned her to get off the stage. 

She raised an eyebrow. 

"Come down, I'll tell you everything."

Yu Mei removed her grip from her hand and quickly got Yu Jinhai from the crowd. At this point, Shi Luo also walked towards them, "What's going on?"

Yu Mei shrugged, "Clueless," She muttered as they walked out of the hall but not before she gave the reporters a 'Don't hover around me' threat with her eyes.

.,.

"You mean that...?"

"I mean that," Li Shuang nodded again as she glanced at the strange expressions on Yu Mei's face, "He is your Grandfather. Your mother was his daughter. His Biological daughter and my aunt too."

Yu Mei blinked as she gazed at Yu Jinhai who blinked back at her, "Jie, we got a family," The boy smiled.

She cleared her throat, "So, where was this family all these years?" Yu Mei asked Li Shuang who was rendered speechless for a few seconds. 

Shi Luo's lips pinched together as she tried her best to stifle her laughter. Yu Jinhai was a kid but this so-called sister of his was a tough nut to crack.

"That-"

"Mei!!!" Shi Luo interrupted Li Shuang as her gaze was stuck to the entrance of the hotel.

"Wait, Luoluo. I am getting some updates on the current development. I need to know what's going on here at this moment. Let me focus here."

"Focus my ass," Shi Luo spoke through gritted teeth, "If you listen to the story now, then you will become a story tomorrow."

"Ass?" 

The trio's head snapped towards Yu Jinhai who was batting his eyelashes. 

Yu Mei glared at Shi Luo. 

"Ah Jin baby, what's that you are talking about? I said masssssk. Face mask. Sister Luo has acquired quite a sun-tan so that's why she needs beauty masks..." 

Yu Jinhai nodded as averted his gaze.
