The richest woman committed a crime with her child - Chapter 13

Xu Mei stopped her voice.

“Xu Mei, I told you not to challenge me repeatedly.” he said, patting the girl’s face, his voice cold as ice shards, sending chills down one’s spine. “Don’t think your father can control me. I don’t care about your family’s wealth. If you bully her again, I can take her to a place where you’ll never see me again.”

Never see again…

Xu Mei’s eyes instantly filled with tears, but her face showed a stubborn expression. “If you want to leave, then go. Do you think I can’t live without you?”

Saying this, she raised her elbow to push the man away, “You better get out of my house today!”

Xu Mei almost ran out of the Xu residence, and only when she came to her senses did she realize she was still holding a bun in her hand. Cursing under her breath, “B*stard,” she turned around to find Wu Mengying.

Half a month ago, Wu Mengying took over a two-story restaurant and is currently arranging the interior.

At this time, Wu Mengying should be at the hotel.

Since getting to know Wu Mengying, Xu Mei hasn’t seen Wu Mengying earn any income apart from the money for the scarf, and she hasn’t asked where the money for buying the restaurant came from.

She has always made friends by only asking about their feelings, not their backgrounds. Therefore, she didn’t care where Wu Mengying got the money to open the hotel; she just thought about sharing good things with her.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she placed the three buns she was holding onto the new table.

Seeing her come in, Wu Mengying, who had just come down from the second floor, teased, “Early in the morning, which bastard has provoked the most beautiful woman in Yingtianfu again?”

Wu Mengying was dressed in a white male outfit, and her voice was also deep and rough like a man’s. At this moment, she was not as reserved as when they first met in the tailor shop on a rainy night; instead, she seemed more familiar.

“Who else could it be?” Xu Mei said irritably, waving her hand. “Forget it, let’s not mention him. These buns are specially brought for you and the big man with the black face.”

She nodded towards the steamed buns and said, “You should try some, they’re really delicious. Who knows, they might even become your signature dish.”

Wu Mengying raised an eyebrow, walked up to Xu Mei, and teased, “The first beauty of Yingtianfu walking here with a bun must have attracted quite a few eyes, right?”

Xu Mei in the night rain said, “It’s early morning, I haven’t even wiped the eye boogers from my eyes, how can anyone tell if I’m beautiful?”

The words “eye boogers” made Wu Mengying stop bringing the bun to her mouth. “I think if you argue with Shen Youting again next time, you can continuously say ten kinds of poop to disgust him.”

Xu Mei immediately pictured various types of poop in her mind, looked up at her, and said disdainfully, “You’re really disgusting.”

Wu Mengying, “……” Didn’t you say it first?

“He really pissed me off today, so I don’t plan on talking to him for the next seven days.” Xu Mei looked around and asked, “What about the big guy with the dark face? Call him over to eat.”

“He went out to restock.”

“You are the owner of this restaurant, why aren’t you restocking?”

Wu Mengying took a bite of the bun and mumbled, “I can’t ride a horse. He can.”

“You’ve already dressed like a man, so it wouldn’t be appropriate not to learn how to ride. There’s no time like the present. After we finish the buns, I’ll teach you.” Xu Mei said and immediately stood up.

“I’ll go back and bring the horse, you wait here.”

“Mei’er, wait a moment…”

Xu Mei was like a gust of wind, already out the door, so who could still hear what she was saying?

***

Xu Mei took Wu Mengying horseback riding for the whole day, and by dinner time, they still hadn’t returned to the Xu family.

In the evening, in the main hall of the Xu residence, a table was set with dishes.

Xu Shuntian sat in the main seat, Shen Youting sat to his left, and Chen Jingjing sat next to Shen Youting. There was an empty seat between her and Xu Shuntian—usually, Xu Mei would sit there.
Today, no one is sitting, making it look empty.

About a cup of tea’s worth of time ago, Xu Shuntian had Shen Youting “invite” Chen Jingjing to the table for dinner. She was very reluctant, and even when sitting at the table, she just poked at the rice in front of her with her chopsticks.

Shen Youting ate silently, glancing at Xu Mei’s usual seat while picking up food.
