Chapter 263: Scheming Against the Waiter

It was a good idea, but it would take time, energy, and money.

Wu Mei looked at Li Nanchen and said in a low voice, “It’s late. Shall we go home?”

She was worried that Mother Wu would think too much if she stayed at home alone.

Li Nanchen looked at the waiter and said to Wu Mei, “Alright, let’s go back.”

Without another glance at the waiter, they stood up at the same time and prepared to go home together.

The waiter had long heard of Wu Mei’s style of doing things. She did not show any mercy and did not leave any room for negotiation. He could only shout in panic, “I’ll tell you. Whatever you want to ask, I’ll tell you the answer.”

“Talk and we shall see!” Wu Mei looked at Li Nanchen smugly and raised her brows.

This was a much better threat than violence.

Li Nanchen nodded approvingly. “Look, my wife is so smart!”

When Wu Mei looked at the waiter, she said with a dark expression, “You can start talking now.”

The waiter said carefully, “I don’t know his name. He came to me and paid me a large sum of money to do as he said.”

“He was very careful. He always wore sunglasses or a mask, but I kept my eyes peeled and peeked.”

He pulled out a picture of a man and set it aside, not daring to look up.

He pleaded, “President Li, Mrs Li, I know I was wrong. I will run far away with my family and never come back.”

Can one believe the words of such a person?

The waiter looked at Li Nanchen again and promised, “President Li, you can also arrange for me to go somewhere else. As long as you don’t harm my family, anything is fine.”

Wu Mei did not expect him to love his family so much.

She looked down at the waiter’s dress and felt that he had sacrificed a lot for his family.

Tugging his dress, the waiter looked at Wu Mei uncomfortably and said, “He’s out to get Mrs Li, so it would be easier for me to get closer if I dressed up as a woman.”

This reason was too ridiculous.

Wu Mei was about to speak when her eyes were covered by Li Nanchen’s hand. She could no longer look at the waiter.

Li Nanchen’s voice was low and filled with dissatisfaction. He said hurriedly, “Haven’t you been looking at him for too long?”

Wu Mei retorted unhappily, “Who’s looking at him? I just feel… quite surprised.”

Most of the time, she did not even look at him.

Li Nanchen tilted her chin unhappily. “What else do you want to ask?”

“Nothing else, let him go!” Wu Mei said somewhat tiredly.

Surprisingly, Li Nanchen did not object. Instead, he called the bodyguards over and prepared to let the waiter go.

The waiter’s brain stopped functioning. He stared blankly at Wu Mei and Li Nanchen as they left. He looked at the bodyguard with uncertainty and asked, “Can I really leave now?”

The bodyguards were only responsible for letting him go and not explaining.

The waiter crossed his arms and walked out of the office slowly. He realized that the bodyguards patrolling the corridor did not seem to notice him.

He walked to the elevator and couldn’t help but look back.

Coincidentally, he met the bodyguard’s cold gaze and his heart turned cold. He jumped into the elevator and left safely.

The waiter ran as fast as he could. He called for a taxi and got in quickly.

The taxi went around the sedan in front and continued forward.

In the car, Wu Mei looked at everything in front of her and said scornfully, “He’s short-sighted and only thinks about scheming against others. He didn’t expect others to scheme against him.”

Li Nanchen placed his hand on Wu Mei’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Your idea is pretty good.”

“But how did you know?”

Wu Mei held Li Nanchen’s other hand and gently pinched his knuckles. Feeling his warm breath beside her ear, her face subconsciously turned red. However, she forced herself to say, “He’s very skilled.”

“He’s a man who’s good at disguising himself and has good skills, but he has too little experience.”

The waiter had lost entirely. He had lost too easily, and she had heard him. It was precisely because he was inexperienced that he trusted her easily.

Let him go?

Dream on.

Li Nanchen took two deep breaths and said in a hoarse voice, “Let’s go home?”

Wu Mei lifted her eyes to look at Li Nanchen and agreed. She turned to look at the front passenger seat. “Aren’t you getting out of the car? Don’t tell me you’re planning to let us handle that waiter?”

K had been sitting in front the whole time. His brows were tightly furrowed and he didn’t have any presence at all. When he heard Wu Mei’s provocation, he looked up and said coldly, “Go and investigate the people of Wu Corporation.”

He got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

Li Nanchen and Wu Mei said in unison, “We can finally go home.”

They looked at each other in surprise and laughed together.

In the Li Family’s villa.

Li Nanchen and Wu Mei had just returned home when they saw Bi Fang pulling his hair angrily.

Wu Mei’s heart raced when she saw Bi Fang’s expression, and she felt that something was wrong.

“Is my mother not feeling well?” Wu Mei thought that something had happened to Mother Wu’s body and immediately wanted to go and take a look.

Bi Fang said in frustration, “Auntie answered a call and ran back to her room to cry. I don’t know how to coax her.”

Wu Mei suppressed her anger and said, “I’ll go see my mother first, then I’ll come down to find you.”

She came to the door of Mother Wu’s room and found it locked. She became increasingly uneasy.
