Chapter 721: Pushing the Blame

“Alright, considering you’re injured, I won’t ask you further. But at least I saved your life, so my task should be considered completed, right?”

Mei Shu withdrew her hand holding the cold towel and covered up the clothes that had been lifted off his waist.

Li Zhen hadn’t spoken for a long time. Just when Mei Shu thought he wouldn’t say anything, his voice suddenly came out muffled, “No, I was beaten because of you. You should be responsible for taking care of me until I’m discharged from the hospital.”

“You’re going too far,” Mei Shu said indifferently, looking down at him. “Do you want Lu Si to cause trouble for your family?”

Li Zhen felt suffocated in his chest and turned his head away, deliberately ignoring her.

“They’re here! Doctors, come in quickly!”

Just as the atmosphere inside the room was heavy, Kang Wei’s urgent voice came from outside. Then the door of the private room was forcefully pushed open, and the cold air rushed in through the open door, causing Li Zhen to shiver inexplicably.

Mei Shu stepped back to make way. “Doctors, I’ve already given him emergency treatment, but it’s just a simple ice pack. He needs a detailed examination at the hospital.”

“Understood.” The two male doctors cooperated and lifted Li Zhen onto the stretcher without saying a word.

Kang Wei’s heart was still unsettled.

He was genuinely scared. Li Zhen was hit in such a critical position by him. Even if he didn’t die, he could easily end up permanently disabled. By then, he would have to take care of him for the rest of his life!

With these thoughts in mind, he looked at Mei Shu helplessly, “Um, Sister, will Li Zhen be okay?”

Mei Shu turned her head coldly towards him.

Kang Wei subconsciously shrank his neck in fear. “Sister, I really know I was wrong. Please don’t look at me like that! I won’t argue with you about hitting me anymore. Can you tell me if Li Zhen will be okay?”

Mei Shu replied expressionlessly, “It’s hard to say. That’s the most fragile part of the spine. If it’s serious, permanent paralysis of the lower body is also possible.”

Kang Wei suddenly felt his legs go weak. If Zhao Ping hadn’t supported him in time, he would have embarrassingly fallen to the ground.

Mei Shu sneered and followed the medical staff downstairs.

Kang Wei and Zhao Ping didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly followed.

At the hospital.

The doctors pushed the stretcher into the X-ray room for examination.

Before the results came out, Li Si rushed over in a hurry, accompanied by the furious Kang Lan.

“Damnit!” Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n(.)c𝒐m

Kang Lan slapped Kang Wei’s face hard, his puffed cheeks flushed with anger.

Zhao Ping hurriedly intervened, “Uncle Kang, I’m sorry. Kang Wei didn’t mean it!”

After speaking, he glanced hastily at Mei Shu. His cowardice, accustomed to avoiding responsibility, flared up again. Pointing at Mei Shu without hesitation, he accused, “It’s all because of her! Li Zhen brought her here today, and we just wanted to make friends with her and chat casually, but she suddenly slapped Kang Wei. Li Zhen got into a conflict with us to protect her. Uncle Kang, you should hold her accountable!”

“You dare to say that!”

Kang Lan glanced at Mei Shu once and then looked away. “You little brat, I trusted you so much during this time, promoted you to a management position in the company, and this is how you repay me by causing trouble everywhere! Tomorrow, you will submit a resignation letter to the HR department and never come to work again!”

“Uncle!” Kang Wei couldn’t believe it, covering his swollen face, his eyes filled with shock and disappointment. “Please listen to my explanation. I’m really not to blame for this. It’s all her fault!”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow, leaning against the hospital wall, looking indifferent.

Kang Wei glared at her fiercely, continuing to splash dirty water on Mei Shu without realizing that his uncle’s face was getting darker and darker.

“Enough!” Kang Lan had enough of his nonsense and wished he could tape his mouth shut!

Kang Wei was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time Kang Lan had been so angry with him.

But he really wasn’t to blame for this! In the end, he and Kang Lan were still family. How could his uncle be willing to protect an outsider rather than help him today?

Just as Kang Wei was still confused about the situation, he saw Kang Lan, hands behind his back, walking heavily towards Mei Shu.

Although Zhao Ping was scolded, seeing Mei Shu about to be in trouble made his heart beat faster with excitement. He couldn’t help but tug at Kang Wei’s sleeve, silently making a praising gesture towards him.

Thanks to Kang Wei’s quick wit and eloquence earlier, he had shifted all the blame onto Mei Shu. Now, let’s see if she could continue to be so self-righteous in front of Kang Lan!

“Mei Shu.” Kang Lan stood in front of her, took a deep breath, and said, “I know this matter can’t be blamed on you. Those few rascals are too unruly. I know what kind of people they are. This matter is my fault, consider it as my debt to you. Don’t hold a grudge against those little b*stards. Next month, I’ll give ten percent more profits to your Mei Corporation for the business our two families cooperate on.”

Mei Shu smiled generously and shook her head. “No need, Uncle Kang. Personal grudges shouldn’t affect the company, let alone they didn’t mean it. This matter is over.”
