Chapter 291 I must be dreaming...ah】

Mother Sheng stared at Ye Mei, her lips trembling with anger, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"You...who do you think you are?"

Mother Sheng finally managed to squeeze out this sentence, and as if she had grasped the key point, she said impatiently: "This is my family's business. As an outsider, what qualifications do you have to interfere?"

"What? Do you like my son? Can't wait to come over and meddle in my family affairs?"

Mother Sheng felt that she had seen through the truth and had a hold on Ye Mei's life. She said arrogantly: "I tell you, even if I die, I will never let a woman like you enter my Sheng family!"

Ye Mei laughed when she heard it, and sarcastically said: "You are not talking about yourself, are you?"

Her younger sister said it well, people with dirty hearts see everything as dirty!

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng's mother's expression changed, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and she screamed, "You shameless little bitch--"

"Enough!"

Before she could insult Ye Mei, Sheng Zhiwu couldn't listen any more.

He walked out from behind Ye Mei, met Sheng's mother, and stuffed the few dozen yuan left in his pocket into her hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't you want money? Here, give it to that man!"

The last sentence was a bit self-destructive.

Sheng's mother held the money, half-believing and half-doubting, "So little?"

Sheng Zhiwu showed a miserable smile, "That's all I have left, believe it or not."

Seeing that he was not lying, Sheng's mother took the money, glanced at Ye Mei, and was about to say a few words before leaving, but was interrupted by Sheng Zhiwu before she opened her mouth.

"If you insult my friends again, don't even think about asking me for money."

Sheng Zhiwu said in a cold voice. Although he was not familiar with Ye Mei, she had saved him out of kindness, so he would not let Ye Mei be humiliated.

Hearing this, Sheng's mother's expression changed several times. She seemed to be dissatisfied with her son for talking to her like that, but she was afraid that Sheng Zhiwu would really do it. In the end, she just glared at him and said, "I'll teach you a lesson when I come back!"

After that, Sheng's mother hurried away with the money in her pocket. She was probably going to see her beloved man, so her steps were lighter.

Sheng Zhiwu looked at her back, expressionless, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

Seeing Sheng's mother leave, those who were watching the excitement left a few sighs and dispersed.

"I'm really sorry for what happened just now."

Sheng Zhiwu retracted his gaze and walked up to Ye Mei.

He lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, with a bit of grievance.

Ye Mei's smile disappeared, she put down her sleeves and said lightly: "You did do something wrong."

Sheng Zhiwu smiled bitterly and said: "I apologize to you for what my mother said."

"No, you are wrong, I mean 'you' did something wrong."

Ye Mei's tone of disappointment was again, "Why did you give her money? Don't you know that the more money you give to a person like that, the bigger her appetite will be?"

Although the other party was Sheng Zhiwu's mother, Ye Mei shouldn't be so straightforward for the sake of the elders, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Sheng's mother didn't act like a mother to Sheng Zhiwu, but Sheng Zhiwu beat and scolded her and still gave her money.

Ye Mei felt her blood pressure rise after seeing this, and she was angry for Sheng Zhiwu. Hearing

Ye Mei's swearing, Sheng Zhiwu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a complicated tone: "She... is just like that, she can't change."

"She can't change, can't you change?"

Ye Mei said: "You let her beat you, let her scold you, give her all the money, she will only get worse!"

Sheng Zhiwu knew in his heart that Ye Mei was right.

But that was his mother.

Some people, some relationships, can't be gotten rid of.

Sheng Zhiwu did try to escape, but in the end he failed.

In order to let him go home, his mother cut her wrist with a knife, and even wanted to slit her throat to force him to compromise.

Seeing his only relative covered in blood, Sheng Zhiwu could only return to this suffocating home in pain.

He couldn't force his own mother to death.

"Comrade Ye Mei, you don't understand."

Sheng Zhiwu just felt tired and didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic.

What's more, he and Ye Mei were not familiar with each other. He had

been struggling in society since he was a child, and he would not open up to strangers.

He had suffered too many losses, and even if he knew that Ye Mei was well-intentioned, he didn't dare to test people's hearts.

"Thank you for your help today."

Sheng Zhiwu said this sincerely. When Ye Mei rushed over to stop his mother and pulled him behind her, his nose was sour and he had an urge to cry.

In his life, he had never been protected so unconditionally and firmly.

"I will prepare a thank-you gift in the future. Now... I'm sorry."

Sheng Zhiwu said this with some embarrassment. He just gave the last money to his mother. If he didn't sell the goods in his hands quickly, it would be a problem to eat in the future.

"I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."

Sheng Zhiwu felt that he was a wolf, so he said this and strode away.

After walking for a while, Sheng Zhiwu found something wrong. Ye Mei was still following him.

If the two of them just happened to be going the same way...

it didn't seem like it.

Ye Mei kept staring at him, and her eyes were like a thorn in his back. Sheng Zhiwu could be sure that her target was him.

After walking for a while, he found that Ye Mei still showed no sign of leaving. Sheng Zhiwu had to stop and said helplessly: "Comrade Ye Mei, I really have something to do. I have to meet an important friend. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it next time..."

"What a coincidence? I am also going to meet an important friend."

Ye Mei interrupted him.

Sheng Zhiwu hesitated for a moment, made way and said: "Then... you go?"

Ye Mei looked at him and said nothing.

Sheng Zhiwu didn't understand what Ye Mei was up to. He always suspected that Ye Mei had something to say to him, probably about his mother, but he didn't want to discuss this topic with others.

Even Daxiong and his colleagues were not clear about his family's situation.

Among his friends, only Huo Qingchi, whom he had known since childhood, knew a thing or two.

Sheng Zhiwu didn't like to tell his friends about these bad things, as it would make his friends unhappy with him.

He was embarrassed when Ye Mei caught him today, and he didn't know how to face this woman he didn't know very well.

"Ah... It's so annoying!"

Ye Mei confronted Sheng Zhiwu for a while, and finally her little patience was exhausted.

If she dragged it on any longer, she really didn't know if she dared to speak.

Ye Mei simply said: "The friend I want to meet is you!"

Sheng Zhiwu was stunned and didn't react yet.

Ye Mei lowered her voice and said in a low and hoarse voice: "You recognize me by this voice, right?"

Sheng Zhiwu heard the voice and subconsciously took several steps back, staring at Ye Mei with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

Impossible.

The first thought in his mind was these three words.

But Ye Mei stood there, her eyes were clear, and she looked at him without any guilt.

The more Sheng Zhiwu looked at her, the more familiar she seemed to him.

Although he had met Ye Jian at night before, and could not see Ye Jian's face covered with black and gray and covered by messy short hair, at least he could roughly see his figure.

The thin little figure of Ye Jian in his mind overlapped with Ye Mei in front of him.

Sheng Zhiwu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out.

After a long time, he stretched out his hand and pinched his face: "I must be dreaming...ah!"

He didn't finish his words, because it hurt so much, he screamed.

With the red mark on his face, under Ye Mei's gaze at the idiot next door, Sheng Zhiwu trembled and said: "...Isn't this a dream?" This
