Chapter 138: Two People Competing for Affection
Old Master Li put down the teacup and looked back at Wu Mei in confusion. His gaze wandered between Wu Mei and Wu Pang as he sized them up.
In his impression, Wu Mei had a good relationship with the Wu Family and they had always lived harmoniously. Recently, he had also asked Li Nanchen about Wu Mei’s family matters. He didn’t hear anything about her having an argument or conflict with the Wu family. But why would Wu Pang cause a commotion in the Li family? Old Master Li was filled with questions, but he could not put his finger on it!
In the living room that was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard, Wu Pang raised his eyebrows smugly at Wu Mei, as if he was determined to shame her.
Wu Mei stared at Old Master Li’s white hair. Considering that Old Master Li’s body needed rest and could not withstand any stimulation, she could only stare at Wu Pang with a meaningful look in her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she squeezed out a smile and said, “We have some misunderstandings. Don’t worry, Grandpa. It will definitely be resolved.”
“When Mom gets better, I will hand him the authority for the Wu Corporation.”
“Since you don’t like living in the servant building, you can move back to live in the villa. When Mom recovers, I won’t interfere with the company’s matters anymore. Are you satisfied now? Can you leave the Li Family first and go back in peace?”
Wu Mei’s eyes were filled with threat and warning. She wanted Wu Pang to get lost as soon as possible!
Wu Pang scoffed. Seeing how afraid she was that Old Master Li would misunderstand, he thought that he could keep her under his thumb again. He raised his eyebrows smugly and exchanged a few pleasantries with Old Master Li. Then, he packed some nutritional food and tonics from the Li Family villa before leaving happily.
Wu Mei looked at his back and frowned slightly. Frustration spread in her heart.
Li Nanchen held her shoulder worriedly and asked softly, “Do you need me to get rid of them for you?”
Wu Mei patted his hand gently and shook her head to reassure him as she said, “I have a solution. Don’t worry.”

The next day, Wu Mei performed the second hypnosis treatment on Mother Wu. It went very smoothly and Mother Wu was very cooperative and trusted her.
The painful memories of her marriage gradually disappeared from her mind. All the pain and happiness disappeared…
Mother Wu’s eyes gradually became clear. She sat in the wheelchair and slowly looked at Wu Mei in all seriousness. Immediately, she revealed a very pure smile. She held two oranges in her hands and placed them in front of Wu Mei as she said, “This is for you to eat. It’s very sweet.”
Wu Mei was stunned. Feeling a little heartache, she took them from Mother Wu. At this point, Mother Wu’s intelligence had already become that of a five or six-year-old child. She was extremely dependent on Wu Mei.
Late at night, Mother Wu stood at the door next door with a pillow and a blanket in her arms. She knocked on the door lightly. Wu Mei looked at her in surprise and asked, “Are you scared?”
Mother Wu nodded. She furtively glanced at the large bed in the room and shyly looked at Li Nanchen who was walking over. She covered her face with the blanket, revealing only her eyes as she said in a daze, “I want to sleep with you. I’m scared.It’s so dark…”
Wu Mei bit her lip. She really couldn’t refuse Mother Wu’s request, so she could only look at Li Nanchen awkwardly as she blinked and said, “Sorry!”
Li Nanchen was speechless. He did not expect to be reduced to competing with his mother-in-law for Wu Mei’s affection. He pretended to feel hurt as he held his heart and leaned weakly against the door frame. Frowning pitifully, he held Wu Mei’s hand with his other hand and said affectionately, “I’m also a patient. I also need your company now.”
Wu Mei pushed his head away and helped Mother Wu onto the bed. She turned around and glared at him reproachfully as she said, “Hurry up and go over.”
Li Nanchen took two steps forward and stood at the same spot again. He turned around and secretly raised a finger. He bargained, “Can you accompany Mom now and come over to accompany me when she’s asleep?” Seeing his expression, Wu Mei waved her hand in defeat as she tried to hold in her laughter. As she heard the door closing, she let out a sigh.
The Special Agents sent by the Ministry of Defense arrived in City B the next day. Wu Mei and Li Nanchen had designated the Li Corporation as a temporary stronghold. She even informed K in advance to rush over as well…
The Viper Organization had many experts and they needed the most elite Special Agents to be responsible for this operation. Wu Mei needed them all to be here!
In the underground parking lot, Li Nanchen received a call for a meeting. He signalled for Wu Mei to go to the company to deal with the situation first.
Wu Mei looked at the towering commercial building and went around the familiar fountain square. She wanted to follow the employees in front of her and swipe her card to go up to the meeting room on the top floor where the President’s office was. However, just as she stepped into the hall, she was stopped by the front desk receptionist. The girl said in an extremely rude tone, “Madam, only employees of the Li Corporation are allowed to enter!”
