Chapter 683: Backing Up

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

“Madam, your words show that you are very reasonable. I also want to accept your suggestion, but for the sake of my conscience, I really can’t do that.”

Mei Shu didn’t immediately deny her suggestion but instead pretended to be willing to accept it while showing some hesitation.

Iler words left everyone curious.

The lady who had just spoken up asked, “President Mei, do you have something difficult to say? Since everyone is here today, why not speak up? Perhaps we can help!”

Mei Shu smiled sweetly, looking very grateful. “Thank you for your kindness. Nowadays, there aren’t many people like you who are not easily swayed and are willing to seek the truth. If there’s a chance in the future, I really hope to cooperate with you.”

“It’s what I should do.” The lady felt a bit embarrassed by her praise and raised her hand to adjust her hair, saying, “Please, say whatever you need to say. You two can clear things up face to face, so there’s no need for future disputes.”

Mei Shu nodded and was about to pick up the megaphone to speak.

But the old lady couldn’t sit still. She rushed forward and vigorously shook the iron gate with both hands. “Mei Shu, don’t deceive the public! Let me tell you, if you dare to slander me, I’ll die right here today! Then you’ll be accused of killing your own grandmother! Let’s see how you’ll survive in the future!”

Mei Shu frowned impatiently and snapped, “Keep an eye on her. Since we want to explain things clearly, don’t let her interrupt me.”

“Yes!” The bodyguards were initially hesitant to take action against the old lady because of her status as Mei Shu’s grandmother. But now, with Mei Shu’s clear instructions, they immediately restrained her and led her aside, ensuring she wouldn’t cause any trouble or harm herself.

Only then did Mei Shu continue, “Alright, since everyone wants to know what happened, let me explain briefly.”

With the megaphone in hand, Mei Shu recounted how the old lady had instigated Wang Yue to seduce Mei Yun, how she had colluded with Wang Yue to make Mei Yun unknowingly have a daughter out of wedlock, and how she had favored the illegitimate daughter over the years while treating her and her siblings coldly.

Most of the onlookers here were housewives, and what they detested most was affairs like illegitimate children and keeping mistresses, especially when it involved a mother-in-law actively helping her son find a mistress.

The old lady’s actions immediately aroused public anger. People glared at her with disgust, and some had already begun to openly criticize her for relying on her age to cause trouble and destroy her son’s family and cursing her as nothing but a sheer old fool.

The old lady couldn’t bear to hear these words. She retorted immediately, “Don’t believe that little slut’s words! It’s her own mother who couldn’t control men. What does it have to do with me? With so many children in the Mei family, I can like whoever I want. I didn’t mistreat them. Why should I be blamed for everything?”

Iler words proved Mei Shu’s words.

Every word she said was trying to whitewash herself, but unfortunately, it only made matters worse.

The lady who had spoken up earlier was the first to refute, saying, “Madam, I disagree with what you said. If a man cheats outside, how can you blame his wife for not controlling him? That’s the man’s own low morals, lack of principles, and no bottom line behavior. What does it have to do with his wife?”

“Furthermore, as an elder, you should try to be fair. I believe if you truly cared for your grandchildren, you wouldn’t come to their doorstep causing trouble after they’ve separated from the family!”

Iler words carried weight and echoed the sentiments of everyone present.

It was evident that this old lady couldn’t stand to see the children she disliked living well and was trying to stir up trouble for her own benefit.

They had seen plenty of selfish and self-serving people like her, who only saw money in their eyes and would betray even their closest kin for their own interests!

With this lady leading the way, everyone couldn’t contain their anger anymore, and they began to reprimand the old lady for her mistakes.

In the corner, Lu Ting watched everything with a smile, quietly preparing to leave.

Su Zhi glanced at him strangely. “Aren’t you going to say a few words for Mei Shu?”

“What should I say?” Lu Ting’s face turned serious as he pretended to be stern. “To air dirty laundry in public is foolish!”

Su Zhi sneered disdainfully and stood with his hands behind his back. “If you don’t go, I will! But don’t be jealous again if Mei Shu treats me better than you!”

With that, he walked out of the shadow leisurely, clapping his hands in applause for Mei Shu.

The applause successfully caught everyone’s attention, and they all turned to look, curious.

Although they didn’t know Su Zhi, they recognized Lu Ting.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly made way, not daring to block the path of the two old gentlemen.

Su Zhi walked up to the door of the Mei family, hands behind his back, and looked at Mei Shu with a smile. “I heard the commotion next door. I thought something big had happened.. It turns out someone is bullying my granddaughter- in – law!”
