Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin He had her doubts and wanted to confirm things with Mei Shu in person.

She took out her phone to call Mei Shu.

Jiang He waited patiently, his face still wearing a smile, waiting for her to make the call.

After several notification tones from the phone, someone finally answered on the other end.

Mei Shu’s voice came lazily through the phone receiver, “Hello? Is everything resolved?”

Lin He, who couldn’t care less about her own situation, anxiously inquired about Mei Shu, “Shu’er, where are you? I didn’t see you when I came out. Mr. Jiang said you had something to attend to and left early.”

The person on the other end of the call remained silent for a moment.

Lin He’s concern grew as she continued, “Shu’er, did something happen to you? Where are you? I’ll come find you right away.”

“It’s not necessary,” Mei Shu’s tone sounded somewhat resigned. “It’s quite troublesome, but I can handle it on my own. After you finish up, just have Mr. Jiang take you back, and at my doorstep, under the flowerpot, there’s a key. Go to my place and wait for me to return.”

When she mentioned the person’s name, her attitude seemed very familiar.

Only then did Lin He finally ease her concerns. After hanging up the phone, she apologized to Jiang He, “I’m sorry. I was just worried about Shu’er and I didn’t doubt you.”

“It’s alright,” Jiang He said gently. “Miss Mei is lucky to have a friend like you.”

“What did you say?” Lin He was clearly stunned and asked with a confused blink, “Miss Mei? Who’s that?”

Jiang He raised an eyebrow, puzzled. In a flash, he realized that Mei Shu hadn’t told Lin He her real name!

He must have accidentally revealed something.

Jiang He quickly tried to correct himself, “I mean, the young lady you mentioned. She’s fortunate to have a friend like you who cares so much for her.”

“Did you just say that her surname is Mei?” Lin He clearly didn’t believe his lie. She lowered her eyes and kept repeating the two words. “Mei Shu… So she is Mei Shu!”

In an instant, Lin He understood everything!

Why this person had inexplicably appeared by her side, insisting on becoming her friend!

Why this person had constantly tried to help her without asking for anything in return!

It was all because she was Mei Shu!

The girl who had been raised in the countryside by Old Wang.

However, Lin He couldn’t quite fathom why Mei Shu, who should have been repaying Old Wang’s kindness, now seemed to be plotting against Old Wang’s son, Zhou Nan, so deliberately.

Furthermore, Mei Shu herself appeared quite different from the delinquent girl described by Old Wang.

Seeing that the situation was about to become unmanageable, Jiang He had to think quickly to make amends. “Miss Lin, please believe that Miss Mei has no ill intentions towards you at all. Everything she’s doing is to help you escape from this difficult situation.”

“Help me?” Lin He raised her head in a daze. “But isn’t Old Wang the one taking care of her when she was in the countryside? Why is she helping me deal with Zhou Nan?”

Jiang He sighed deeply. “I’m very sorry, Miss Lin. I don’t think it’s my place to tell you the exact reasons. If you have any questions, I think you should ask Miss Mei later. 1 believe she’s not intentionally hiding anything from you.”

Lin He nodded absent-mindedly. “Okay, I’ll go back by myself. I won’t trouble you again, Mr. Jiang.”

“No, Miss Mei specifically instructed me to escort you home,” Jiang He insisted. “Moreover, considering what just happened, your husband probably won’t let you off. It’s dangerous for you to go home alone. Miss Mei is concerned.”

Jiang He insisted on escorting her horn, and Lin He could only agree guiltily.

She hadn’t felt such kindness from strangers in many years.

Mei Shu and the man before her seemed different from others.

They didn’t appear indifferent but instead generously lent a helping hand.

They were truly good people.

Lin He didn’t want to let their kindness go to waste.

Looking back on the time she had spent with Mei Shu, she somehow felt that Mei Shu must have known her situation from the beginning, so she chose to conceal her identity.

Was Mei Shu only trying to save her from the misery because he pitied a weak person like her?

But the misery was all created by her own husband’s hands.

Could she really escape from it?

On the way, Lin He contemplated the situation with growing unease.

When they exited the elevator and left the hotel, they encountered furious Zhou Nan who had put his clothes on.

That woman he had been with had already left, perhaps too embarrassed to remain.

But Zhou Nan obviously wanted to confront her.

Upon seeing Lin He coming out with Jiang He, a mocking smile crossed Zhou Nan face. “I really underestimated you. I went to great lengths to find a buyer for you, and you’ve already found a wild man for yourself! You’re quite fast!”

“Zhou Nan, don’t slander me!” Lin He clenched her fists and roared with all her strength.

This was something she had never dared to think about before, but now, she had found the courage to say it..
