Chapter 290: Even if the police come, they will arrest you first.

Now that the coldest time has passed, Ye Mei put on a black coat and went out to the place where she and Sheng Zhiwu had agreed to meet.

She thought about going there early and getting things done early. There was a shortcut near her home that she could take, passing through a few alleys and then going into a tube-shaped building.

Going out was the main road. Ye Mei looked around and was about to identify the direction when a familiar figure came into her sight.

She thought she had seen it wrong, so she blinked and looked again.

"Sheng Zhiwu?"

Ye Mei was surprised. There was still some distance between here and the agreed place, but she didn't expect to meet someone in advance.

She was about to walk over to say hello, but she saw that Sheng Zhiwu no longer had his usual laziness and indifference. Instead, he walked out of the tube-shaped building with a tense face and was about to leave.

The next second, a woman rushed out from behind him, grabbed his arm, and slapped him hard on the back.

"Do you still treat me as your mother? I haven't finished talking yet! You are not allowed to leave!"

The woman slapped him with all her strength. Even through the winter clothes, Ye Mei could hear the muffled sound and Sheng Zhiwu's slightly stiff face.

It must be painful, but he didn't want to show it too obviously, so he endured it.

Seeing this scene, Ye Mei couldn't help but frowned.

"I said, I don't have money." Sheng Zhiwu said in a deep voice.

"Don't try to fool me! I know you have money!"

The woman raised her voice, causing many people around to stick their heads out of the window to watch the excitement.

When they saw Sheng Zhiwu and the woman, they all showed an expression of "as expected".

"It's this family again..."

"Zhiwu is such a sinner, having to deal with such a confused mother."

"Other parents keep their money close to their children, fearing that their children don't have enough food and clothes. But this woman spends all the money on herself and asks Zhiwu for money all day long. She doesn't think about how Zhiwu, who has nothing at this age, will get married and start a family in the future?"

"Maybe her mother had this in mind? As long as Zhiwu doesn't get married, she can give all the money to her and support her for the rest of her life."

"What a cruel woman!"

...

The neighbors passing by whispered.

Sheng Zhiwu listened to it, pulled his arm out of the woman's hand, and said coldly: "I didn't lie to you. I just went out of town to place an order, and all the money in my hand has been spent."

After saying this, he was about to leave, so as not to stay here and continue to be talked about by others.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You don't need to pay for food and drink, and you don't need to pay for entertaining your brothers?"

The woman was sure that Sheng Zhiwu was deceiving her, and she insisted, "Give me the money! Your father just got reinstated, and he needs to take care of everything. As a son, you should help your father a little, so that he will value you, right?"

After saying that, the woman pleaded, "Zhiwu, mother is doing this for your own good. Your father took your money, and he will take better care of you in the future. You don't need to work so hard, always running errands..."

Hearing this, Sheng Zhiwu smiled sarcastically, "Will he care about me? Mom, don't be naive. How much have you taken from me to give to him over the years? Have you seen him give me anything?"

"How can you say that about your father?"

The woman couldn't bear to hear Sheng Zhiwu slandering the man, and her face immediately turned cold, "He always asks me if you are doing well, and he cares about you very much! Look at the silver bracelet on mom's hand, aren't they all given by your father?"

"This bracelet is the only thing he has given you in the past 20 years!"

Sheng Zhiwu couldn't help but said, "Over 20 years, you don't know how much you have given him, and he just gave you a broken bracelet, but you treat it as a treasure. He treats you as a fool! Mom, don't be stupid again..."

"Pa!"

He was interrupted by a slap before he finished speaking.

Sheng Zhiwu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the woman with an unsurprising look, with a little more sadness on his face.

The woman stared at him with red eyes, "You unfilial son! Your father is thinking about you all the time, is that how you miss your father?"

After saying that, the woman was still not satisfied, and raised her hand to slap him again.

Sheng Zhiwu was about to dodge when someone rushed over and grabbed the woman's wrist and twisted it back.

"Ah!"

The woman screamed, "My hand... my hand is going to break! Someone, come! Go find the police! They're beating people up!"

She screamed in pain.

Ye Mei felt like her eardrums were about to be pierced by the sharp sound. She shook off the woman's hand and said impatiently, "If the police come, they'll arrest you first!"

The woman took a few steps back and saw Ye Mei's appearance clearly.

She was about the same age as her son, with bright features and a dashing and heroic look between her eyebrows. She looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

The young man and woman standing there looked like a perfect match.

A sense of crisis surged in the woman's heart. She said in a sharp voice: "I am his mother! A mother beats her son. I don't know which police dare to arrest me! But you, a little bastard who came from nowhere, dared to hit me... My hand hurts so much! It must be broken! You have to pay for my medical expenses, 500!"

She asked for money like a lion, and the onlookers couldn't help but feel ashamed for her.

Sheng Zhiwu was also embarrassed. After seeing Ye Mei's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Comrade Ye Mei?" He

didn't expect to meet Ye Mei here.

It was still such an embarrassing situation...

Thinking of his mother's character, Sheng Zhiwu didn't want to drag Ye Mei into it, and whispered: "You go first, I will handle this."

Ye Mei glanced at him: "Your way of dealing with it is to stand and get beaten?"

The tone was full of regret.

Wasn't he quite good at fighting and supporting the masters when he was delivering goods?

Why is it that here, he can only be beaten?

"Stop talking nonsense and stay behind me!"

Ye Mei pulled Sheng Zhiwu back with disdain, signaling him to stop making trouble.

Sheng Zhiwu was caught off guard and was pulled behind her to protect him. He could not help but be stunned and a little at a loss.

After living for more than 20 years, this was the second time he encountered such a situation.

The first time was Ye Jian, but the other party was a man.

Being protected by Ye Mei, a woman, Sheng Zhiwu was in a complicated mood. He was always smart, but now he didn't know what to do.

And a little...

sad.

Sheng Zhiwu stared at Ye Mei's thin back, who was a head shorter than him, and said nothing.

"You said you had a broken bone, so it's broken? Where's the proof?"

Ye Mei left the disappointing Sheng Zhiwu behind, rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and started arguing with Sheng's mother with a fierce look, "I tell you, the public security department needs to see evidence. If you talk nonsense without evidence, that's called spreading rumors! Spreading rumors is a crime and you will go to jail!" Sheng's mother

was used to being arrogant in front of Sheng Zhiwu, but outside she was a paper tiger. She thought Ye Mei was a young girl with a fresh face and was confident that she could win, but she didn't expect that Ye Mei would turn the tables on her. A look of panic flashed across her face.

"You know whether you have a fracture or not. If you still want to extort money from me for medical expenses, let's go to the police station and have a clear discussion."

Ye Mei didn't wait for Sheng's mother to speak, and continued: "My sister is a doctor. She will check you and you will know. Don't try to fake it!"

Even Sheng's mother's last chance was blocked.
