Rich Daughter Reincarnates as Her Eighteen-Year-Old Self to Rescue Her Younger Brothers!

Chapter 221  Luring the Enemy Deeper

Mei Yun replied coldly, "The teacher didn't mention this matter to me. What else have you heard? And what's the story behind that video?"

Wang Yue glanced nervously at the door and then whispered, "I don't have all the details, dear. You should call the teacher and inquire further. I've heard that the video might not be suitable. It apparently shows Mei Shu with several boys in compromising situations."

"Mei Shu has always been outgoing and having good friends is not a big deal," Mei Yun replied dismissively as he picked up a financial report, suggesting he was ready to return to his study.

Wang Yue was growing increasingly anxious, wondering why Mei Yun's reactions were so unusual this time. Nevertheless, she quickly stopped him and hesitated as she leaned in closer. "I've heard that it's an inappropriate video. I think you should look into it further. If this matter escalates, it could potentially harm the company's image."

Finally, he heard the words he wanted to hear from her mouth.

Mei Yun halted in his tracks, towering over her as he stared down. He remained silent until she felt uncomfortable enough to continue, "Could you obtain that video for me? I want to see it personally. I don't want to rely solely on one-sided information."

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment, then with a hint of determination in her eyes, she replied, "Sure, Honey. For the sake of our family, I'll do my best to find out more. Wait for my update!"

"Alright," Mei Yun concealed the underlying gloom in his eyes and turned to head upstairs.

"For the sake of our family?"

She was probably just thinking about herself and Mei Mu!

Regardless of her efforts to scheme, Mei Yun intended to lead Wang Yue into revealing her true intentions step by step.

With Mei Yun's approval, Wang Yue could investigate this matter with great fanfare.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, she knew the origin of that video better than anyone else. So, she hadn't put in much effort. She had merely pretended to do so and brought the video in front of Mei Yun.

Upon viewing the video, Mei Yun indeed became furious and angrily knocked things off the table.

Wang Yue felt triumphant but feigned increasing concern. "Honey, it's all my fault. Mei Shu must have picked up bad habits from the countryside, which she's now brought into the city. I promise to discipline her properly in the future and prevent her from tarnishing the Mei family's name any further."

She insinuated that Mei Shu had probably committed such actions more than once and might have been involved with men even in the countryside.

If Mei Yun hadn't heard what the homeroom teacher and those parents had said, he might have truly erupted at Mei Shu, or even done something irreversible.

Now Mei Yun could only feel grateful.

"Honey, I also heard that this matter has reached the police station. Maybe we should talk to Mei Shu first to avoid things getting out of control before there's a conclusion," Wang Yue urged desperately. She wished she could see Mei Shu being kicked out of the house immediately. She repeated this suggestion several times.

Suddenly, Mei Yun turned around, his eyes cold as he stared at her for a long time, until she felt a chill creeping down her spine. Finally, he spoke hoarsely, "I will use my connections to learn about the progress of the investigation with the police. Until there is a conclusion to this matter, I don't want to make a big fuss and let people laugh at our family."

"But it's already become a laughingstock! Everyone outside already knows about it. I'm too embarrassed to reply to messages from people in our circle!"

Wang Yue spoke hastily, but when she saw Mei Yun's icy expression, she quickly changed her tone. "Honey, with video evidence, I believe that even if the police investigate further, they won't find anything else. We should try to salvage the Mei family's reputation before they announce the results."

"So, what do you propose to salvage our reputation?" Mei Yun asked expressionlessly.

Wang Yue, growing anxious, suggested, "Why don't we send Mei Shu back to the countryside for now? People there probably don't know about this, and it's an opportunity to lay low. Once the situation calms down, she can come back to prepare for the college entrance exams. Otherwise, with this scandal still making headlines, she won't be able to concentrate on her studies!"

"It was you who insisted on having Mei Shu return from the countryside in the first place," Mei Yun observed, his eyes growing deeper as he realized he had never truly understood the kind of person his wife was.

Wang Yue quickly adopted a remorseful expression. "I asked Mei Shu to come back then because I wanted our family to be together. But now, with Mei Shu causing this trouble, it's seriously affecting the company's interests. I've heard that several business partners have decided not to cooperate with us because of Mei Shu's scandal. Doesn't this affect your future?"

She saw Mei Yun's silence and moved closer, affectionately taking his arm and speaking softly, "Moreover, I didn't say Mei Shu couldn't come back later. I just want her to lay low in the countryside for a while. We can hire the best tutors to give her extra lessons. Isn't that a win-win solution?"

Mei Yun, seemingly indifferent, retracted his arm and turned coldly, "You're right. It might be a good idea."

Wang Yue's eyes lit up. "That's great. I'll go and pack Mei Shu's things right away!"
