Chapter 447: Know When To Stop

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Mei did not object to Jiang An and Zou Bai being together anymore, but she did not want everyone to know about it. In her opinion, this was two different things.

It was fine as long as the two children liked each other and they were in love. If everyone in the city knew about it, it would definitely be discussed openly.

Any small action of theirs could be interpreted. Whether they were still together or whether they had broken up would become a trending topic from time to time.

No matter how strong love was, it could not withstand this. After all, no one wanted their private matters to become a topic of conversation.

Moreover, Li Mei didn’t want to tell the Zou family about the children. She was afraid that they would force the children back. Zou Bai’s promise was indeed trustworthy, but he couldn’t represent the entire Zou family alone.

No matter what, Zou Bai had to listen to what the elders had to say. After all, he was the family head and had to consider the entire family’s opinions.

What Li Mei didn’t know was that Zou Bai was a man of his word in the family. Even the elders were afraid of him.

Jiang Huai happened to be resting at home today. When he heard the angry roar downstairs, his first reaction was not to go down but to call his brother.

“Big Brother, Mom is really angry now. What should I do?”

Jiang Yan was very calm. “It’s not a big deal. At most, you’ll be beaten up a little. I believe Mom knows when to stop.”

Jiang Huai really didn’t expect his brother to say that. His mother had practiced martial arts for many years and was very skilled. Of course, she wouldn’t kill anyone if she hit someone, but she wouldn’t let anyone have an easy time either. It wouldn’t be a problem to cause enough damage for him to be in pain for seven to eight days.

“Brother, you can’t leave me in the lurch. It was the three of us who discussed and didn’t tell Mom.” Jiang Huai was about to cry.

Jiang Yan sighed. “Brother, you have to have evidence when you speak.”

As a lawyer, Jiang Yan’s words were strict. Jiang Huai really could not produce any evidence. Hearing the other party hang up, he really wanted to cry.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, Jiang Huai still moved to the living room step by step. He really hated himself for not going to work today.

Li Mei sat on the sofa and watched him enter. Jiang Huai tried his best to move as slowly as possible, but the place was only so big. In the end, he still had to move in front of Li Mei.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to accompany An’an on the variety show? Why is Zou Bai on the show?” Li Mei asked coldly.

Jiang Huai swallowed and mustered the courage to say, “Something happened in my company and I couldn’t leave. I wanted to let Eldest Brother and Second Brother go, but the two of them didn’t have time. In the end, I could only let Zou Bai accompany An’an.”

Seeing that Li Mei’s expression was not good, he quickly explained, “It’s good for Zou Bai to accompany her. After all, the two of them are already together. If they are photographed by a tabloid reporter one day, they will definitely be on the trending searches. It’s better to let the netizens know that there’s something going on between the two of them now so that they can smoothly accept it later.”

Li Mei was about to die of anger. “Don’t you think you’re very smart? News can be bought with money. Even if the tabloid reporters had ten guts, they wouldn’t dare to report Zou Bai’s matter. However, we can’t hide it from the Zou family anymore.”

Jiang Huai did not realize the seriousness of the matter and said foolishly, “It’s fine if the Zou family knows. It’s not a big deal for Zou Bai to fall in love.”

Li Mei could not understand who Jiang Huai took after. She and her husband were both smart people, and Jiang Yan and Jiang Yan were even more wise. Only Jiang Huai could not see the situation clearly sometimes.

“The Zou family is not just Zou Bai alone. There are so many people in the family. Who knows what will go on? Moreover, your sister and Zou Bai have children. If the Zou family wants to take the children away, what do you think we can do?” Li Mei reached out and grabbed his ear.

Jiang Huai tried to save his ears. Just as he was struggling against her, the phone at home rang. He quickly thanked the person who called.

Li Mei glared at him and let go. Then, she went to answer the call.

“Xiao Mei, did you know that the two children are together?” It was Zou Bai’s mother, Wen Li.

When she saw the news online, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. The first thing she did was call Li Mei to ask about this.

Li Mei gritted her teeth and maintained her normal tone. “I just found out too. It scared me.”

“How can this be scary? This is clearly a great thing.” Wen Li smiled and said, “Previously, I thought that our two children were very compatible. I didn’t expect them to really get together. Let’s find time to get together so that we can discuss their future..”
