Mei Yun spent quite some time coaxing Mei Mu in the room until she finally stopped crying.

Wang Yue had already overheard the father-daughter reconciliation from outside the door and happily went downstairs to tell Zhao Yan to prepare for dinner.

As soon as she descended the stairs, she spotted Mei Yan sitting on the sofa, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed in anger. “It’s you, little brat, who ran to your dad to complain about me and got me scolded! Watch how I deal with you today!”

Mei Yan agilely jumped off the sofa and quickly moved to the other side of the coffee table, facing off with Wang Yue on opposite sides of it.

To catch him, Wang Yue had to maneuver around the coffee table.

“Little brat, you dare to run away! Let me catch you and teach you a lesson!” she shouted.

“Come! I’m not afraid of you!” Mei Yan taunted her and, seeing her attempt to pounce, swiftly moved to the other side of the coffee table, evading Wang Yue’s grasp.

However, Wang Yue accidentally knocked her knee against the coffee table, causing her to cry out in pain. “You little brat, you dare to hide!”

“Do you mean I should stand still and let you hit me? I’m not a fool!” Mei Yan teased, feeling triumphant as he ran to the other side to stay out of Wang Yue’s reach.

When Mei Shu returned, she saw Mei Yan and Wang Yue facing off in the living room.

Mei Yan quickly ran over to her sister and sought shelter behind her. “Sister, Aunt Wang wants to hit me!”

“Why do you want to hit Yanyan?” Mei Shu frowned, shielding her brother behind her.

Feeling protected, Mei Yan’s tail wagged even higher.

Wang Yue was infuriated by his smug appearance, but she couldn’t hit him in front of Mei Shu. She could only suppress her anger and say, “Your brother needs better discipline. Your dad thought you would be a good sister and could take care of him, but ever since you came back home, Mei Yan has become more and more unruly. If you can’t handle it, let Auntie take care of him.”

“My brother is my responsibility. You have no right to meddle in Mei Yan’s affairs,” Mei Shu replied coldly, glancing at the bandage on Wang Yue’s forehead. She then turned her attention to her brother to check if he was hurt.

Under Mei Shu’s protective gaze, Mei Yan snuggled closer to her, his big eyes blinking cutely. Worried that she might be too concerned for him, he tried to comfort her in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, Sis. 1 won’t let anyone bully me.”

Mei Shu smiled and ruffled his hair. “Good, that way I can feel at ease.”

“Feel at ease about what?” Mei Yun’s voice came from upstairs as he slowly descended the stairs with Mei Mu.

Mei Mu’s eyes were still red and swollen, but she didn’t seem angry after the scolding. Instead, she appeared to be quite content.

Mei Shu knew what had happened.

Mei Yun and Mei Mu must have lied to her father while she was away.

But it didn’t matter.

She had discovered something more important.

“It’s nothing,” Mei Shu put down her bag and walked to her father’s side, pouring him a cup of hot tea. “Dad, I remember Mom left behind a necklace she loved the most. I miss her a lot. Can you show me the necklace?”

Mei Yun was momentarily stunned, then a profound sadness filled his expression. “Sure, I often take it out to look at it when I’m alone. Your mother looked the most beautiful when she wore those pieces of jewelry. Now that you’ve returned, it’s time to pass those things on to you. Just wait, I’ll go upstairs and get it for you.”

“Okay,” Mei Shu sipped her tea slowly and sat in her place, seeming to smile faintly.

On the side.

Wang Yue tensed up as soon as Mei Shu mentioned the necklace, and her mind buzzed for a moment. She quickly tried to stop Mei Yun. “Honey, it’s almost time for dinner. Let’s look at it later, so as not to get the necklace dirty.”

Mei Yun looked at her strangely, “Why would the necklace get dirty for no reason?”

Wang Yue fidgeted with her clothes. “Honey, there’s nothing wrong with missing your deceased wife, but I’m your current wife. If you want to be alone with Mei Shu to see it in the study, that’s okay, but if you take it out, I… I just feel like you don’t love me as much as you loved Bai Ling.”

“What are you saying? Why are you suddenly comparing yourself to a dead person?” Mei Yun brushed away her hand, “Alright, I’ll go with Mei Shu to the study to look at it. Mei Shu, come with me.”

Wang Yue suddenly became nervous, and her breathing started to quicken.

Even Mei Yan noticed something unusual about her behavior.

As a child who often got scared after causing trouble and feared punishment, Mei Yan knew exactly why Wang Yue was reacting this way.

He smirked and teased, “Aunt Wang used to know that my dad would miss Mom in the study, right? Why didn’t she care before, but suddenly she cares today? Is it because Mom’s necklace can’t be taken out today?”

Wang Yue widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Mei Yan.

How could this little brat suddenly become so clever!

Mei Yun also realized the situation, and his face darkened.. “What did you do with Bai Ling’s jewelry?”
