Chapter 324: Cheer Up

“Ms Lin, calm down.” Mother Wu struggled to sit up, but Lin Piaopiao held her shoulders down.

Lin Piaopiao chuckled. “Grandpa Li should have enough medicine. I’ll give these to Auntie. Auntie, take your time eating it.”

Her pupils dilated infinitely. When she got close to Mother Wu’s face like a demon, she suddenly groaned and knelt on the ground.

Lin Piaopiao wanted to turn around to look, but the wig on her head was tugged back, and she immediately screamed.

The lights on the entire floor were instantly lit up.

Wu Mei pulled Lin Piaopiao up and flung her aside.

Lin Piaopiao fell onto the ground heavily. She hugged her head with both hands and screamed, “Who touched my hair? You will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death!”

Wu Mei didn’t bother with Lin Piaopiao. Instead, she helped Mother Wu up and asked, “Mom, are you alright?”

She vaguely heard Mother Wu’s voice from upstairs and thought that she might have heard wrongly. Nevertheless, she still went to take a look.

This look was what saved Mother Wu’s life.

Mother Wu was scared out of her wits. She desperately shed tears and said anxiously, “Mei’er, hurry up and save him. This Lin girl has drugged your grandfather.”

“What?” Wu Mei’s eyes widened in shock.

Mother Wu clutched Wu Mei’s hand tightly. “I discovered it so she wanted to…”

Wu Mei instantly hugged Mother Wu and stopped her from looking at Lin Piaopiao, who was being held down by the butler and servants. She coaxed her and said, “Mom, don’t worry. Leave it to me. I’ll take care of it.”

Mother Wu was trembling badly. It was obvious that she was really scared.

Wu Mei watched as Li Nanchen walked up to Lin Piaopiao and arranged for the bodyguards to take Lin Piaopiao away first. They would settle this after comforting the elders.

Wu Mei could guess that Li Nanchen would lock Lin Piaopiao up in that place.

“Mom, let me send you back to your room first, okay?” Wu Mei supported Mother Wu and coaxed her.

Mother Wu immediately rejected her. “Mei’er, I’m fine. I’ll be fine after a nap. Hurry up and check on the food. Go check on your Grandpa Li.”

Recalling how Lin Piaopiao wanted to stuff a bracelet into her mouth, she was so scared that she was about to cry.

“Okay, I’ll check!” Wu Mei looked up at Li Nanchen.

Li Nanchen walked to Mother Wu’s side and said in a low voice, “Auntie, go back to your room first. Mei’er and I can handle this.”

Mother Wu nodded her head vigorously before returning to her room with Wu Mei.

After taking the medicine Bi Fang had prepared, she finally calmed down and went to sleep.

Wu Mei walked out of Mother Wu’s room and said to Bi Fang, “Help Grandpa Li arrange for a check-up first. I suspect that Lin Piaopiao tampered with Grandpa Li’s food.”

It could be poison.

“Alright!” Bi Fang’s face also turned green as he hastily left.

Wu Mei knew that Li Nanchen would make all the arrangements in the Li family and would not let Old Master Li know what had happened. He would also investigate Lin Piaopiao’s scheme. However, she still felt a wave of fear wash over her.

If she had not arrived in time, something would have happened to her mother.

However, all of this was just a coincidence.

If she made the slightest mistake, Lin Piaopiao would succeed.

Li Nanchen walked behind Wu Mei and gently hugged her. He was so tired that he did not want to speak and could only seek comfort from her.

Lin Piaopiao schemed against Old Master Li?

It was scary just thinking about it.

Wu Mei perked up. They still had a lot of things that they had not dealt with. They had to resolve them as soon as possible.

Tonight was destined to be a tough night.

Wu Mei planned to visit Lin Piaopiao first. Li Nanchen would also accompany Old Master Li to have a chat.

Although Lin Piaopiao had caused quite a commotion, they had no intention of telling Old Master Li.

When she walked down the stairs, she saw the butler talking to a few servants. She walked over coldly.

She sized up the servants in front of her and asked, “Aren’t there usually people keeping watch when cooking? Where’s everyone? Where did they go?”

“This isn’t Lin Piaopiao’s first time in the kitchen, is it? Didn’t you guys notice?”

Did these servants think that the Li family was too safe or that Old Master Li and Li Nanchen were too kind?

How can they be so sloppy?

The butler quickly assured Wu Mei, “Don’t worry, I will arrange everything.”

“Sorry to trouble you.” Wu Mei looked at the trembling servants and found it ridiculous.

As long as there had been one person guarding the kitchen, Lin Piaopiao’s scheme would not succeed, and Mother Wu would not be injured.

These people should be taught a lesson.

Wu Mei turned and left, preparing to go see Lin Piaopiao.

Li Nanchen stayed in Old Master Li’s bedroom to accompany him.

Old Master Li looked at Bi Fang, who was in front of him, and then at Li Nanchen. He frowned and asked, “It’s so late at night, did something happen?”

“No, everything is normal!” Li Nanchen shook his head.

Old Master Li did not believe him.

Although he did not leave the room, he could still hear the sounds coming from downstairs. Seems like they were quarreling?

Needless to say, Li Nanchen pushed the blame onto Lin Piaopiao and said lightly, “Lin Piaopiao went to the kitchen to fetch water. She bumped into Auntie and started quarreling.”

“The butler discovered it first, so he got the servants to call us downstairs.”

Old Master Li said in disgust, “This Lin Piaopiao is becoming more and more insensible. She wasn’t like this back then.”

Lin Piaopiao from back then?

She was her same greedy self, just well disguised.
