Chapter 242: Dusty Old Photos

Sheng Nian cursed to her heart’s content, but then realized that Mei Yun’s daughter was sitting right beside her.

Her angry expression momentarily shattered, and she smiled awkwardly at Mei Shu. “1 didn’t mean it that way. I was just too emotional earlier. I’m sorry for speaking ill of your father.”

“No need to apologize. I think you’re right,” Mei Shu replied, not only without anger but also with a smile.

Sheng Nian pursed her lips and sighed softly, advising, “Don’t dwell on it too much. After all, that woman received the punishment she deserved. Now, the most important thing for you is to look forward. Let others say whatever they want.”

“I understand, Sheng Nian. Actually, you must also dislike infidelity, right?” Mei Shu said slowly. “To be honest, when 1 sent you the video evidence of Lu Ming’s affair, 1 was a bit uncertain. I was worried that you would be like those girls who get carried away by love and continue to be deceived by Lu Ming’s sweet talk, choosing to give him another chance.”

“Then why did you send it to me like that?” Sheng Nian asked, lifting her eyelids to look at Mei Shu.

The young girl in front of her was radiant, full of youthful vigor. Sheng Nian liked this type of girl. Although she was much older than Mei Shu, after talking for so long, she had already subconsciously regarded Mei Shu as a good friend.

“Because I wanted to test if you were someone I could collaborate with,” Mei Shu said, tilting her head, meeting Sheng Nian’s smiling eyes.

At this moment, all of Sheng Nian’s smiles froze with Mei Shu’s words. The warm atmosphere from earlier vanished completely.

Sheng Nian suddenly stood up, her face half-hidden in the shadows. She said, “I’ve already told you 1 don’t want to get involved in that matter. Don’t expect to hear anything from me. It’s getting late; I’ll go freshen up now. You can come in later.”

This time, Mei Shu didn’t try to stop her with words. She watched Sheng Nian enter the bathroom and then turned her gaze back to the computer screen.

She typed quietly, and after a few seconds, another computer’s interface appeared on the screen.

She had operated so swiftly earlier that Sheng Nian couldn’t even see how she had managed to infiltrate the Sheng family’s computer system in their study.

For most people, it would be impossible to accomplish all of this in just a few minutes.

But for the current Mei Shu, it was child’s play.

She moved the mouse to remotely control the other computer and began opening folders and searching for what she wanted to see.

At this point, the sound of running water in the bathroom had gradually stopped.

Mei Shu could tell that Sheng Nian was done filling the bathtub.

She continued her search at a steady pace, finally finding an old photo file in one of the folders.

The photo depicted a young man and a young woman. Mei Shu had seen a picture of Sheng Nian with her father on the desktop and recognized the man in the photo as a young Sheng Quan. However, the other woman was not Sheng Nian’s mother.

She had a strong intuition that this photo was highly significant.

Just as she was about to save it, the bedroom door suddenly made a soft sound.

Mei Shu’s heart skipped a beat. She swiftly shut down the computer and then slipped under Sheng Nian’s covers, pulling the thick blanket over her head. Only one of her arms remained outside.

The person who entered the room turned out to be Sheng Quan.

He entered the room reeking of alcohol, staggering, but he didn’t see his daughter anywhere.

In the bathroom, Sheng Nian also heard the commotion and hurriedly finished dressing. She didn’t even have time to dry her hair properly. “Dad, why did you suddenly come in?”

“Daddy came to apologize to you.” Despite being quite drunk and unsteady on his feet, Sheng Quan’s eyes were exceptionally clear. If it weren’t for his flushed cheeks and the strong smell of alcohol on him, it would be hard to tell that he had just consumed so much alcohol.

“Dad, you don’t need to apologize to me,” Sheng Nian quickly said, guiding her father to sit on the bed and pouring him a cup of tea to help sober him up.

Sheng Quan also pulled Sheng Nian to sit next to him. “Nian Nian, Daddy sincerely apologizes for my terrible attitude earlier. Can you forgive Daddy? Daddy only has you now. Daddy has lost your mom; I can’t afford to lose you too.”

“I understand, Dad. I was wrong tonight, and I never blamed you,” Sheng Nian said, looking at her father, whose temples were already streaked with white hair. She couldn’t help but shed tears.

Father and daughter had always been close, so Sheng Nian had been defending her father in front of Mei Shu.

Hearing his daughter’s words, Sheng Quan patted her head affectionately. “That’s my good daughter. Daddy only wants you to be well. As for what happened before, let’s put it behind us. Your mom has been gone for so many years; what good does it do to continue probing? It will only hurt both of us.”

“I remember, Dad. I won’t be unreasonable in the future,” Sheng Nian promised, wiping away her tears.

Sheng Quan then stood up to leave, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Your friend should not sleep with her face covered like that; it’s not healthy. When guests come to our house, you must take good care of them..”
