Chapter 306: Carrying Her Home

Mother Wu’s condition was very good. She just needed to be observed in the hospital for a period of time.

The hospital was really too stuffy.

Wu Mei didn’t think it was necessary. She could hire a good caretaker to accompany Mother Wu.

However, Mother Wu listened to the doctor’s advice and decided to stay in the hospital to recuperate.

Wu Mei couldn’t persuade Mother Wu and respected her wishes.

On the way home with Li Nanchen, she felt extremely puzzled.

Mother Wu did not like hospitals.

Back then, she would feel extremely uncomfortable if she stayed in the hospital for even two more days. She would want to go back to her own place but this time, she took the initiative to stay for observation.

It was too strange.

Could Bi Fang have said something to Mother Wu?

Seeing that Wu Mei was frowning in deep thought, Li Nanchen coaxed her, “Auntie might have thought it through and thought that she should stay in the hospital and listen to the doctor’s arrangements so that she can truly recover.”

In the past, Mother Wu did not like to stay in the hospital and would never remember the doctor’s instructions. Her health had always been poor.

This kidnapping incident would probably make Mother Wu think things through.

Wu Mei reluctantly accepted Li Nanchen’s explanation and leaned into his embrace. She closed her eyes and languidly said, “I can’t accept any missions for now. I’m still suspended.”

Once she was suspended, she could no longer follow up on M’s incident.

“I think I might be able to find clues about Mo Li faster.” Wu Mei asked Li Nanchen, “Do you think I will find her first, or Ben?”

Li Nanchen replied without hesitation, “Of course it’s you.”

Wu Mei swiftly sat in his lap and tilted her head to size up Li Nanchen. She smiled and asked, “Why?”

Everyone liked being coaxed, and Wu Mei was no exception.

When she heard Li Nanchen’s reply, her heart was already filled with sweet bubbles, but she still wanted to hear Li Nanchen elaborate.

Li Nanchen pressed Wu Mei down and pulled her back into his embrace. He said calmly, “Because Ben is too conservative. Between making a contribution and making a mistake, he chose not to do anything.”

Wu Mei suddenly froze. This was her evaluation as well.

Ben was no longer as driven as he used to be. Instead, he had learned to weigh the pros and cons. He was hesitant and uncertain when doing things.

Regardless of whether Ben was the person who killed her, she was already disappointed in him.

“You’re different. In the face of your strength and persistence, you’ll do better than Ben.” Li Nanchen trusted Wu Mei wholeheartedly.

Wu Mei’s heart was not only filled with sweetness, but also warmth.

It was great to have Li Nanchen by her side.

“Go to sleep. I’ll wake you up when we get home,” Li Nanchen comforted Wu Mei.

Wu Mei really fell asleep in Li Nanchen’s arms.

The car arrived at the Li Family residence.

After the car door opened, Li Nanchen carefully alighted and carried Wu Mei into the villa.

Wu Mei felt the motion and opened her eyes groggily. “Are we home?”

“Yes, go to sleep,” Li Nanchen assured Wu Mei.

Wu Mei did not stand on ceremony. She smiled and opened her arms to hug Li Nanchen’s neck. She found a comfortable position and fell asleep again.

When Li Nanchen carried Wu Mei into the house, Wu Mei saw Feng Yue walking out to welcome Li Nanchen. Her expression darkened.

Feng Yue completely ignored the beauty in Li Nanchen’s arms and only smiled at Li Nanchen. “Mr Li, I…”

“Quiet.” Li Nanchen coldly spat out a word.

Feng Yue’s face was slightly pale as she watched Li Nanchen carry Wu Mei and walk past her. She was trembling with anger.

The Li family’s servants were even less likely to pay attention to Feng Yue. After cleaning up in a hurry, they left Feng Yue alone at the entrance.

“Young Master carried Young Madam home and she actually blocked their way. This is too ridiculous.”

“There are always women who want to reach the top in a single step. Doesn’t she know where she is? This is the Li Family.”

Feng Yue regained her senses and wanted to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water when she heard the servants whispering.

They were all looking down on her.

They all believed that Wu Mei was the only Madam Li.

Feng Yue was about to yell at them when the butler walked into the kitchen.

“Ms Feng, what’s the matter?” The butler’s attitude was gentle but distant.

Feng Yue took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, but her voice was still very loud when she spoke. “Uncle Butler, your Li Family’s servants really like to whisper behind people’s backs.”

The servants retreated awkwardly to one side when they were discovered.

The butler maintained his smile. “Ms Feng, don’t worry. I will punish them according to the contract.”

Feng Yue’s eyes were filled with glee. She seemed to have done something that matched her status as the mistress of the house.

However, she did not know that the contract did not restrict the freedom of speech of the servants.

The butler changed the topic and said impolitely, “But Ms Feng, please respect the Li Family’s living habits. Don’t speak too loudly and be polite.”

Feng Yue’s voice was too loud just now.

It was inappropriate for her to eavesdrop on others.

Feng Yue’s expression changed again and again. In the end, she glared at the butler angrily and turned to leave.

The butler’s expression did not change. He said to the servants, “You guys have to be more careful in the future. Don’t let outsiders catch your mistake.”

In their eyes, Feng Yue was someone they needed to be wary of.

The butler instructed, “Prepare some tea and snacks.. I want to send them to the study room.”
