“Why is it you?” When Old Wang saw Mei Shu, she was somewhat shocked and turned pale. “Do you know Lin He? What’s your relationship with her?”

“Today, 1 came to see you for my own business. Don’t be so nervous; it has nothing to do with Lin He.” Mei Shu slightly turned her head behind and gazed at a certain point in the one-way mirror for a while before turning back.

At this moment, Old Wang still had shiny handcuffs on her hands.

She was stunned, seeing Mei Shu as if she had encountered a devil. “Why did you come to me? What business could you have with me?”

Mei Shu smiled lightly and said, “I heard that you always complain in front of others that I never came to see you. Now that I’m here, aren’t you happy?”

Old Wang raised her eyebrows in anger and, recalling Mei Shu’s submissive appearance in the past, assumed her domineering posture again, using threatening words, “I don’t want to see you now! If you really care, let your father use his connections to get me out of here!”

“Caring for you?” Mei Shu chuckled softly. “These words, can you still say them with a straight face? Do you really think I’m the old Mei Shu who used to endure everything?”

“If you can’t help me, why are you here? You useless thing! Get out! 1 don’t want to see you!” Old Wang arrogantly attempted to stand up and open the door to the visitation room herself.

Mei Shu changed the subject and asked, “Since you came to Lincity, have you ever tried to contact Wang Yue?”

Although the two were distant relatives, considering Old Wang’s character, she had once taken on a task from Wang Yue to “take care” of Mei Shu in the countryside. It was unreasonable for her to come to Lin City without attempting to connect with Wang Yue!

The only possibility was that Wang Yue had personally warned Granny Wang not to come to meet her in Lin City.

This was what Mei Shu wanted to extract.

For this, she was willing to pay any price!

Old Wang was caught off guard by Mei Shu’s question. After a long time, she came back to her senses and resumed her fierce expression. “Whether I go to find her or not is my business. What does it have to do with you?”

This was precisely the sentence Mei Shu wanted to hear.

She suddenly stood up, staring at Old Wang, step by step moving forward. “It has everything to do with me. Aunt Wang specifically instructed me that as soon as you came to Lincity, I should bring you home. She also said there’s something she wants to show you.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? She wouldn’t do such a thing!” Old Wang vehemently retorted.

But after speaking, she felt somewhat uncertain about her own words. Muttering to herself, she said, “She probably wouldn’t; she wouldn’t want to see me! 1 came to Lin City just to accompany my son, without any other intentions!”

“No other intentions?” Mei Shu pronounced each word slowly, revealing a hint of a mysterious flavor. A deep smile gradually formed at the corner of her mouth. “Are you trying to say you don’t want to bring up what happened back then?”

“That matter is over! She won’t use that thing to threaten me again!” Old Wang roared in anger.

After she finished speaking, she realized that her emotional response was too intense. She quickly looked away, her gaze shifting elsewhere. “What I mean is that, back then, she entrusted me with the task of taking care of you in the countryside. Even if you complain to her that you didn’t live well in the countryside, it has nothing to do with me now! No one can use this matter to tarnish my reputation! I won’t refund any money!”

Mei Shu clearly saw the hidden panic in Old Wang’s eyes that she couldn’t express in words.

Clearly, what Old Wang wanted to conceal was definitely not that simple.

Mei Shu was gambling.

She was betting that Wang Yue, in order to avoid suspicion, had never contacted Old Wang again!

Her speculative guess was finally confirmed.

Mei Shu took a deep breath, calmed herself, and suddenly softened her tone. “Aunt Wang, after 1 returned from the countryside, 1 occasionally dreamed about you. Although you treated me badly, you watched me grow up. I don’t want to be ungrateful.”

Old Wang had completely fallen into Mei Shu’s trap, completely unexpected that Mei Shu would suddenly speak in a gentle tone, as if punching a cotton ball. After the anger subsided, her mind was left blank. “What do you want to say?”

“I really want to help you.” Mei Shu put on a very sincere look and said lightly, “With such a big incident in your family, I can’t just stand by. As long as you listen to me, I can use the power of the Mei family to get you and your son out as soon as possible.”

“Are what you’re saying true? Did Wang Yue ask you to do this?”

Mei Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled. “Aunt Wang already knows about what happened to your family, but she doesn’t seem to intend to interfere, but 1 won’t sit idle. You can rest assured.”

“Good girl! I knew you wouldn’t leave me in the lurch!” Old Wang caught Mei Shu’s arm tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

She had seen life in prison on TV and felt that if she, an old woman, spent a few years inside, she would probably fall apart!

Moreover, her son was about to become wealthy.. How could she enjoy the coming wealth if she were in prison?
