Zhang Meiyu's bewildered and wronged expression didn't seem like a pretense.
How resilient she was. Even when Tang Yu was hospitalized, Tang Xu was in jail, and she discovered Tang Zhongcheng's betrayal, realizing she'd been a fool for half her life, she never considered jumping off a building.
Zhang Meiyu wouldn't jump.
If she guessed correctly, after selling the Tang family villa, there would still be ten to twenty million left after deducting Tang Yu's medical expenses. They were still wealthy, so why would she want to die?
Soon, the ambulance arrived.
Tang Xiaomin and Zhang Meiyu were both taken to the hospital. Given the situation just moments before, they were bound to sustain some injuries.
Tang Xiaomin's leg, which had just healed, fractured again from the fall.
Tang Ye and the others anxiously arrived at the hospital and fussed over Zhang Meiyu.
"Mom, the doctor said you fell from the top of the mall. What exactly happened?" Tang Yu asked.
Thinking back to the moment, Zhang Meiyu felt a chill.
"We went shopping. I went to the restroom, and then Xiaomin called me. It was like I suddenly woke up, finding myself at the edge of the rooftop. I was scared and fell."
"Fortunately, Xiaomin saved me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing me now."
Tang Xiaomin's leg was once again put in a cast.
What had she ever owed them?
Why did they have to get injured because of her?
At this moment, the way Tang Yu and the others looked at Tang Xiaomin shifted once more.
Someone had even captured a video of the incident and posted it online. In that situation, if not for Tang Xiaomin, there might have been a tragedy.
In that kind of situation, if it were them, they probably wouldn't have been able to do anything.
Even if they tried, the consequences would have been far more severe than just getting injured.
"Thank goodness for you," Tang Yu said.
Tang Yu then looked at Zhang Meiyu suspiciously, asking her.
"Mom, do you really not remember why you went to the rooftop?"
Zhang Meiyu heard the doubt in Tang Yu's voice and immediately became agitated.
"What do you mean? Are you suspecting me of trying to commit suicide?"
"Let me tell you, I've weathered worse storms. Even if I couldn't bear it, I wouldn't joke with my own life."
Zhang Meiyu was telling the truth.
How badly had she been deceived by her husband and his mistress? Yet, she had persevered.
The others thought about it and agreed.
However, this made Zhang Meiyu's incident even more bizarre.
Tang Ye meekly added.
"Did Mom get possessed?"
After all, Tang Xiaomin was right there. What was impossible?
They looked at each other, and then, as if by prior agreement, they all turned to look at Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Xiaomin rolled her eyes at them.
"Why are you looking at me? Do you suspect me?"
They shook their heads.
"No... we don't suspect you. We just want you to explain."
Tang Xiaomin recalled the events carefully.
"That day, there was no music playing in the mall's restaurant. When I went to the restroom to find her, there was no one inside."
"I think someone deliberately cleared the area to create a quiet environment for hypnosis. What happened afterward is what you saw on the surveillance footage: she went to the rooftop on her own."
The mall's surveillance footage had been retrieved, but unfortunately, it showed nothing.
"Wasn't she possessed by a ghost?" Tang Ye asked, out of the blue.
Tang Xiaomin glared at him fiercely.
"Ghosts aren't as omnipotent as you think."
"You should all consider the consequences of this incident, and then think about the cause."
What were the consequences of this incident?
If Zhang Meiyu had fallen to her death, they would undoubtedly have accused Tang Xiaomin.
The final result would have been them turning on each other.
Tang Yu understood this all too well.
"Back then, Ye Fengxing told me about your situation and asked me to cooperate with them to lure you into a trap."
"This incident is likely them pulling the same trick again. The Ye Group has shares in that mall, and hypnosis leaves no trace."
"If Mom had truly met with misfortune, facing such an outcome, no one would have had the inclination to investigate the hidden reasons."
Unfortunately, they had calculated everything except that Tang Xiaomin would jump to save her.
Nor had they anticipated that they, the brothers, now understood Tang Xiaomin well enough to believe she wouldn't do such a thing.
Tang Yu felt a growing unease, his expression grave.
"We are likely being targeted, and such incidents may continue to happen."
As for who was targeting them, they each had their suspicions.
Zhang Meiyu looked at Tang Xiaomin's leg, heavily casted, and had an idea.
"Xiaomin, why don't I take care of you? Since you were injured saving me, taking care of you would make me feel better."
Her words were utterly speechless.
Zhang Meiyu, a wealthy socialite accustomed to being waited on, now claiming she wanted to take care of someone. It was laughable.
Just as she was about to refuse, Tang Yu said, "For Mom's safety, I think it's better if she stays with you."
"Yes, yes, yes, take Mom with you. She can help you when your leg is inconvenient," Tang Ye added.
Tang Yan remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
It was as if they had all coordinated.
Given the current situation, apart from Xianfu Group, nowhere else was safe for them.
In fact, the conflict with Ye Fengxing had originated because of her.
If, because of her, they all ended up losing their lives, she would feel uneasy too.
Tang Xiaomin nodded.
With the matter happily settled, Tang Xiaomin took Zhang Meiyu back to Xianfu Group.
She couldn't arrange for Zhang Meiyu to stay with her adoptive parents, so Tang Xiaomin arranged for a villa in the villa district for Zhang Meiyu to live in. Sudan Novel Network.
Pushing open the door, the villa had only two floors, far less grand than the Tang family's former mansion, but it was several levels above the apartment they were currently renting.
Zhang Meiyu looked around. Everything was there, ready to move in.
"This house is nice, but if I live here alone, won't it be too lonely?"
Tang Xiaomin knew what she meant – she was thinking of her useless sons.
Now that they were here, she disdained to argue with them.
"The house is yours. You can have whoever you want to live with you."
As soon as she said it, Tang Xiaomin regretted it.
How badly she had treated their family before, and now she had to take care of their lives.
This world...
"What about you? Aren't you living with me? Then how can I take care of you?"
She was really asking for too much.
Taking care of her was a matter of intention.
"Xianfu Group is preparing for its IPO. I'm busy with work and plan to live at the company recently. If you need anything, you can find me there."
Zhang Meiyu's face clearly showed disappointment, and she couldn't force Tang Xiaomin any further.
Outside the door, watching Yan Jue carry Tang Xiaomin away, she felt a thousand emotions.
The rift between them had finally been bridged.
