Chapter 144 - Playing Games Again
Mother Wu was seated in a wheelchair and could not dodge. She could only wave her arms and shout in pain as she cried helplessly like a child!
When Sheng Hongfei saw the bruises and red marks rapidly forming on Mother Wu's body, she became a little afraid of getting caught. She quickly covered Mother Wu's mouth and coaxed her, "Don't shout. I'll play games with you, okay? It's an interesting game. Wu Mei likes it very much."
She knew that Mother Wu's intelligence was only at the level of a five or six-year-old child and was extremely easy to deceive, so she mentioned Wu Mei's name. As expected, Mother Wu became quiet.
Mother Wu nodded solemnly and rubbed the wound on her arm with her hand, allowing Sheng Hongfei to blindfold her…
The dark environment made Mother Wu a little scared and uneasy. However, Sheng Hongfei deliberately moved the tables and chairs over to block her way. She placed the long balloon in Mother Wu's hand and said enticingly, "Let's play the whac-a-mole game. I'm right in front of you. If you find me and hit me, it'll be considered a success!"
Mother Wu hugged the balloon timidly and slowly pushed the wheelchair towards the sound. However, every time she moved, she would hit the corner of a table.
Bruises immediately appeared on her body and legs. Sheng Hongfei's lips curled up and she muttered, "What an idiot!"
After the press conference ended, Li Nanchen and Wu Mei returned to the villa. When they entered, they saw Mother Wu sitting on the sofa with red eyes.
Sensing that something was amiss, Wu Mei ran over and squatted down to find Mother Wu tugging at her sleeves and clothes to cover the wounds on her body.
"What's going on? Mom, who did this?"
Wu Mei's brows furrowed and she felt her heart ache as she gently touched the bruise. Mother Wu gasped, but she immediately shook her head and held Wu Mei's cheek. She comforted her in a stammering voice, "I'm fine. Don't cry, Mei'er! I was playing a game and knocked myself!"
"It doesn't hurt, not at all!"
Mother Wu's words puzzled Wu Mei. She pushed Mother Wu back to the bedroom and searched for the first aid kit to treat her bruises. She asked softly, "What game is that?"
She did not believe that a game could hurt someone so badly!
Moreover, Wu Mei could tell that the wounds on her arms and shoulders were obviously caused by someone's pinching! Someone had deliberately taken advantage of Mother Wu's delirious state to deceive her to lie to cover up their crime! She lowered her head to conceal the viciousness in her eyes as she heard Mother Wu say slowly, "It's Mei'er's favorite game. Blindfolding my eyes and catching people using a balloon!"
"But I'm stupid and always can't catch anybody.. It hurts a little when I bang into stuff but it's okay. It's fun!"
From Mother Wu's ambiguous explanation, Wu Mei roughly understood what had happened. She changed Mother Wu's clothes before pushing her wheelchair back to the living room.
Sheng Hongfei stood up nervously and asked guiltily, "Is she alright?"
Wu Mei had a cold smile on her face as she said lightly, "Thank you for accompanying my mother, Second Aunt. But since it's a game, why don't we play another round? Otherwise, isn't it a little unfair? It was my mother who had her eyes blindfolded just now. It's Second Aunt's turn this time!"
Sheng Hongfei could tell that Wu Mei's gaze was cold and she was a little afraid. However, when she met Li Nanchen's gaze, she did not dare to refuse and could only blindfold her eyes.
Wu Mei took out the soft whip that she kept wrapped around her waist as a Special Agent and placed it in Mother Wu's hand. She leaned over and held Mother Wu's hand as she said, "Look at the target clearly. The essence of this kind of game is that not only do blindfolded people have to look for others and attack, but people who have their eyes open can also set up barriers…"
"Isn't that right, Second Aunt? That's what you did just now!"
Wu Mei held Mother Wu's hand and suddenly lashed out. Sheng Hongfei immediately screamed in pain. In her panic, she tried to rip off her blindfold, but Wu Mei whipped her a few more times. Seeing the wounds on her body, Wu Mei sneered and kept her whip.
Sheng Hongfei clutched her arm and yelled in pain, "Wu Mei! What are you doing? I'm your elder! How dare you hit me?"
"Hit you? It's a game Second Aunt taught my mother to play. Why do you make it sound so serious?"
"Besides, you caused my mother to get injured when you played with her, didn't you? I think it's best not to play such a dangerous game in the villa anymore. Otherwise, I don't know what the consequences will be…"
"If Second Aunt feels aggrieved, why don't we seek Grandpa's opinion? If he thinks that I was wrong, I will apologize to you."
"But the likely outcome is that Second Aunt won't be able to stay in the villa, right?"
Wu Mei glared at Sheng Hongfei sternly. Sheng Hongfei cowered in fear.. She then stomped her feet in anger before running to the room at the end.
