ABANDONED WIFE, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 22

After Mother Wu woke up, she realized that Wu Mei was not sleeping beside her. Wu Mei had probably returned to her room to accompany Li Nanchen.

Only then did she feel at ease. Furthermore, because she had a good sleep, she was in a very good state today.

When she went downstairs, she realized that the servants were busy preparing breakfast in the dining room.

“Good morning, Madam,” the maid greeted Mother Wu.

Mother Wu smiled at them and replied gently, “Good morning. Did Nanchen come back at night?”

“Yes, Young Master came back a little late,” the servant replied.

Mother Wu was certain that Wu Mei should be accompanying Li Nanchen. This was good.

She should not always stick to her daughter in the future. After all, her daughter had grown up and should have a life of her own.

Just as she was about to sit in front of the meal, she noticed Lin Piaopiao carrying a cup of water as she tiptoed into the kitchen.

Lin Piaopiao thought that she had done it discreetly, but with so many servants busy in the kitchen and dining room, how could they not notice her?

It was just that no one really cared about her in the Li family residence.

“Has Ms Lin been appearing in the kitchen often recently?” Mother Wu suddenly asked.

The servant hurriedly replied, “Yes, Ms Lin goes to the kitchen every day to pour warm water.”

They had already reminded Lin Piaopiao more than once that even if she didn’t go to the kitchen, she could still drink hot water. However, Lin Piaopiao refused to listen.

Mother Wu looked at these few servants in all seriousness. An ominous feeling emerged in her heart, and her voice turned cold as she said, “You guys have been working in the Li family for many years.”

“Yes!” The servant noticed that Mother Wu’s tone was not right, so she did not dare to be negligent and quickly replied.

Mother Wu lowered her voice and said unhappily, “There’s a person who often goes into the kitchen. Shouldn’t you be more careful?”

Not only was her medicine in the kitchen, but there were also tonics prepared for Old Master Li. Shouldn’t the Li family’s servants be more careful?

The servant was very embarrassed, but she still said truthfully, “Ms Lin’s father is Dr Lin. He’s in charge of taking care of Old Master Li. It should be fine.”

Just because Lin Liguo was Old Master Li’s doctor-in-charge, did that mean that Lin Piaopiao would not do anything bad?

Lin Piaopiao had done a lot of immoral things, hadn’t she?

Mother Wu saw everything clearly. Lin Piaopiao refused to leave the Li family because she liked Li Nanchen.

Old Master Li and Li Nanchen’s attitude towards the Lin father and daughter was very cold and even guarded.

She should be more guarded against.

Mother Wu also picked up the cup of water and stood up. “You guys go ahead. I’ll go get some water from the kitchen.”

The servant wanted to take it for Mother Wu, but Mother Wu had already walked around the table and into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Lin Piaopiao was very frustrated.

The things brewing in this row of pots are all about the same. Which one was it for Old Master Li?

She only has one pill in her hand. If she had more, she could throw one pill into every pot.

While Lin Piaopiao was fretting, she suddenly found a sea cucumber in one of the pots and immediately threw the pill inside.

She was holding a glass of water and had just reached the kettle when Mother Wu came in.

What a close shave!

Lin Piaopiao heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was immensely pleased with herself.

She was able to tamper with stuff right before Wu Mei and Mother Wu’s eyes. This goes to show that she is really an impressive person.

No one can compare to her.

“Ms Lin, you really like to drink the hot water from the kitchen.” Mother Wu’s gaze shifted slightly as she asked with a smile.

Lin Piaopiao looked down on Mother Wu.

Mother Wu only knew how to cry every day and was completely useless. She would only implicate Li Nanchen and make him help her clean up her mess.

Right!

Yang Shan and Wu Yi are also useless.

They accepted the money from her father, but did not successfully divert the attention of Mother Wu and Wu Mei. Instead, they used the large sum of money to fill the monetary hole because of the Wu Corporation’s internal audit. It was really ridiculous.

“Yeah, I really like it.” Lin Piaopiao casually replied and then left.

Mother Wu hesitantly took a cup of hot water. As she did not notice what Lin Piaopiao had done, she could not reveal her doubts to anyone.

She then went to the Wu Corporation with Wu Mei.

Wu Mei did not stay in the office. Instead, she went to check on the audit results.

The assistant followed behind her and said softly, “Someone has already put back the missing funds. I’ve also recorded them down.”

“Well done,” Wu Mei said coldly.

The assistant continued, “Among them, Yang Shan should have made up for one part of it, but…”

“Did someone else make up the shortfall for her?” Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and asked.

Aware that he had not handled the matter properly, the assistant said awkwardly, “Yes, she did not appear, nor did she have any transfer records. Furthermore, the employee who made up the shortfall for her… surrendered himself.”

Good job!

When Wu Mei heard this news, she wanted to clap and cheer for Yang Shan.

How much benefits did Yang Shan give this employee to make him go to jail to cover for her?

“Have you asked him? We have money too. Whatever Yang Shan can give, we can give him too.” Wu Mei turned to ask her assistant.

Of course the assistant had asked, but it was futile.

This employee probably had something that Yang Shan could use against him. If he didn’t take the blame for Yang Shan, things would be even more troublesome.

How could Wu Mei possibly let Yang Shan off?

She would investigate this employee thoroughly and make it become Yang Shan’s weakness.
