Chapter 256: Competing for Affection
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Mother Wu instinctively avoided Wu Mei’s touch. She said in a daze, “No, I won’t sign it. I won’t sign it.”
Wu Mei knew that Mother Wu was having a nightmare, but she kept comforting her. “Mom, it’s me. I’m Mei’er. Don’t be afraid.”
Mother Wu calmed down. When she saw that the person in front of her was Wu Mei, she hugged Wu Mei guiltily and said, “Mei’er? This is Mom’s fault. Mom shouldn’t have believed him. This is Mom’s fault.”
Due to her pedantic and stubbornness, she not only hurt her daughter, but also herself.
Wu Mei patted Mother Wu’s back gently and said, “Mom, it’s okay. It’s all in the past.”
“No, no, it isn’t the past yet! He forced me to sign a document.” Mother Wu was frightened again and kept trembling.
Wu Mei held Mother Wu’s hand tightly and said, “Mom, I have an idea that can be used to deal with Wu Pang. Do you want to hear it?”
“I want to hear it. Tell me, I’ll listen.” Mother Wu’s eyes were red as she nodded desperately. Then, her tears fell.
Wu Mei did not expect Mother Wu to be willing to listen to her idea on how to deal with Wu Pang. However, Mother Wu was not in a condition to discuss it further. Wu Mei coaxed her, “Mom, sleep a while more. When you wake up, I’ll talk to you properly, okay?”
Mother Wu said “Okay” in a hoarse voice before lying back down.
This time, she refused to let go of Wu Mei’s hand.
Only Wu Mei could give her a sense of security.
After Mother Wu fell asleep again, Wu Mei looked towards the door and realized that Li Nanchen had been waiting for her.
She crept to the door and closed it behind her. “Nanchen, Mom will probably agree with our idea. What are you planning to do?”
“I’ll listen to you,” Li Nanchen said in a very low voice.
Wu Mei told Li Nanchen her idea, “Help me keep the news under wraps and keep an eye on Wu Pang until he appears.”
“Sure.” Li Nanchen held Wu Mei’s hand and prepared to go to the dining room.
Wu Mei refused, “Go down and eat first! Get the nanny to bring me a cup of coffee.”
She had no appetite now and only wanted to accompany Mother Wu for a while more.
Li Nanchen held Wu Mei’s hand and fiddled with it gently. He stared at her and said, “Have lunch with me.”
Wu Mei shook her head and rested her forehead on his shoulder. “I’m tired.”
“Go back to the room,” Li Nanchen said again.
Wu Mei was amused by him. “Nanchen, if you behave like this, I’ll think that you’re being jealous again.”
“Yes, I’m jealous.” Li Nanchen did not deny it and said seriously, “I’m just a person who can’t differentiate between serious matters and jealousy. I only know that you’re unwilling to take good care of yourself because of Auntie.”
“You don’t want me to take care of you either.”
Wu Mei looked at him in surprise. Finally, she stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips. “After Mom’s condition stabilizes, I’ll accompany you every day, okay?”
Li Nanchen sighed. Since Wu Mei had already put it that way, he couldn’t possibly continue fighting with Mother Wu for Wu Mei’s affection. He could only give in and watch as Wu Mei walked back to Mother Wu’s room.
He went to the dining room and asked the nanny to heat up another cup of milk and prepare some snacks. He then sent them to Mother Wu’s room.
Bi Fang crossed his arms and sat on the sofa. He looked at the gloomy Li Nanchen with interest and could not help but ask, “President Li, have you been cast aside?”
Li Nanchen was in a bad mood. His face was ashen and he couldn’t be bothered with Bi Fang.
Bi Fang said in surprise, “You can’t really be jealous of Auntie, can you?”
“Nonsense,” Li Nanchen interrupted Bi Fang.
After lunch, he walked into the study and closed the door behind him.
In order to take good care of Mother Wu, Wu Mei was always by Mother Wu’s side. However, she couldn’t always ignore him, could she?
He was especially dissatisfied, but he couldn’t “compete” with Mother Wu for Wu Mei’s favor. He could only divert his attention to work.
Looking at the information, Li Nanchen became increasingly angry. He picked up his phone and contacted his assistant, Qin Yang.
“Something happened to Auntie last night so I can’t go to the company for the time being.”
He rubbed his fingers together and said, “I once said that the Li Corporation and all its working partners will target Wu Pang. All the relevant information is on my desk. I’ll leave it to you to handle.”
Li Nanchen had always been a man of his word. If he dared to say it then, he was already prepared.
However, too many accidents happened later and things got delayed.
“Wu Pang is missing? If he doesn’t appear, I’ll also have a way to deal with him. Keep an eye on the Wu Corporation. If anything happens, contact me again.”
“Wu Pang has appeared. What should we do? I was still worried that he wouldn’t come out.”
Li Nanchen hung up and threw his phone aside.
It was Wu Pang who caused Mother Wu to be hospitalized and indirectly caused him to stay alone in an empty room without even being able to grumble about his grievances.
Even if he vents his anger on Wu Pang, Wu Pang is not wronged!
A few hours later, something happened in the Li Corporation.
Within a day, the Li Corporation and all its partners either suspended or terminated their cooperation with Wu Pang.
Three days later, when the negative news about Wu Pang was all over the place, Li Nanchen and Wu Mei received the news that Wu Pang had appeared in the meeting room of the Wu Corporation together with the legal team.
The fish has finally taken the bait.
