In the evening, the setting sun was like a fire.

Li Nanchen carried Wu Mei home in an intimate manner. The love-making marks on her collarbone were particularly prominent, indicating how intense their fierce battle was.

Lin Piaopiao, who was sitting in the living room, suddenly stood up and stared at Lin Nanchen in disbelief. She pointed at Wu Mei and shouted, “Brother Nanchen?!”

“Wu Mei’s relationship with other men is complicated. Why did you still bring her back?”

“She was clearly the one who wanted to leave the Li Family and escape from you! What’s the point of bringing her back?”

Lin Piaopiao stared at Wu Mei with jealousy and hatred. She could not understand why Li Nanchen would fall so deeply for Wu Mei.

Li Nanchen lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms who had her brows knitted slightly. His gaze gradually turned cold as he said, “Don’t let me hear you utter a single word about Wu Mei again…” he warned Lin Piaopiao and went straight to the bedroom. He adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, changed Wu Mei’s pajamas, and placed her on the bed.

Li Nanchen sat by the bed and caressed her face with the back of his hand. His eyes were filled with love and agony.

He took out the ointment for improving blood circulation and treating bruises from the first aid kit. He heated it up between his fingertips and gently smeared it on the dark purple marks…

Wu Mei felt something happening in the outside world. Exhausted, she lifted her eyes and saw Li Nanchen in her field of vision. Her lips curled up into a smile and she fell asleep again.

It was as if when she was by Li Nanchen’s side, she could let her guard down and rely on him.

In the servant building of the Wu family, Wu Pang excitedly called Lin Liguo and reported the situation, “Hello? It’s been settled!”

“You promised me that you would let me regain control of the Wu Corporation and then find me some lucrative cooperation projects. You have to fulfill your promise now. Don’t think about going back on your word!”

Wu Pang rubbed his hands together as if he could already see countless bills waving at him.

When Lin Liguo saw Wu Mei return, he was filled with anger and roared, “Wu Mei is still in the Li family! Not only is her relationship with Li Nanchen not affected, it’s even better! How are you guys doing things? No wonder you even lost the company!”

“What an idiot! Hurry up and think of a way to get rid of Wu Mei…”

“If you can’t do it, spit out all the money you’ve eaten! I have the recording and evidence. Don’t think about fleeing!”

Slam! Lin Liguo hung up the phone. His heart was pounding from the anger. He raised his head and glared fiercely towards the bedroom door with his fists clenched.

After being berated by him, Wu Pang understood that Wu Mei was just humoring Mother Wu…

Yang Shan and Wu Yi heard their conversation, but how could they bear to return the money they had earned? They incited Wu Pang to make his move on Mother Wu.

Wu Yi’s eyes were filled with disdain as she glanced at the woman in the wheelchair. “As long as she goes crazy, we won’t be able to control her. We can only rely on Wu Mei to come back and comfort her… Think of a way to use her to trap Wu Mei here. Make sure she doesn’t even think about leaving!”

“Even if Li Nanchen finds her, can Wu Mei leave with him in front of her?”

Yang Shan took the opportunity to spur him on, “The psychiatrist said that she already subconsciously believes that Li Nanchen is dangerous. As long as she receives an intense stimulation from the outside world, this thought will be in the forefront of her mind! Why don’t we help her…”

Wu Pang hesitated for a few seconds before approaching Mother Wu and strangling her.

Yang Shan and Wu Yi both started to attack. They grabbed Mother Wu’s arm and tugged at her hair. They scolded, “Get your daughter here! Only she can save you now! Quickly call her!”

Mother Wu was so frightened that she was in a daze. She cried intermittently and flailed her arms in fear, but Wu Yi restrained her…

Wu Pang took the opportunity to call Wu Mei. “Come back quickly. She’s going crazy again!”

Mother Wu kept shouting, “Mei’er, Mei’er…”

Wu Mei instantly sobered up. The night lamp by the bed shone with a faint yellow light. Li Nanchen was sleeping soundly beside her with his hand on her waist, appearing extremely insecure. Wu Mei’s brows knitted together at this sight, as she felt apologetic and her heart ached.

She quietly grabbed her jacket and moved Li Nanchen’s hand away. Dragging her aching and tired body, she drove to the Wu family’s house.

In the Wu Family villa, one could hear Mother Wu’s cries even from far away. Wu Mei quickened her pace and ran in. She squatted in front of Mother Wu and held her hand as she asked gently and patiently, “Mom, don’t be afraid. What happened? Tell me! Mei’er is here…”

Mother Wu was nervous and could only mutter, “Dangerous! Li Nanchen is very dangerous!”

“Mei’er has to leave him. She can only live if she leaves him! If Mei’er doesn’t listen, I’ll kill myself…”

Mother Wu pointed the sharp scissors at herself as if she was threatening her.

Standing at the door, Wu Pang said in support, “You call yourself filial. What’s wrong? Between your biological mother and a man, you want to choose the man?”

“Remember, this time, I was the one who discovered her going nuts and informed you to come back. What about next time?”
