Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 224: The Soft-Hearted Chen LI

“Thank you, Chen Li, for your concern, but I don’t even dare to go home now. Once I go back, I’ll be scolded, and he’ll even hit me when he’s in a bad mood. I don’t even dare to go home now. I really can’t live like this.”

Wu Mei’s gaze did not leave Yun Shan’s face for even a moment.

Yun Xi looked at Wu Mei’s hypocritical face and felt disgusted. The woman was too hypocritical.

“Why don’t you stay in our house for a few days? We’re both women, so I can understand your difficulties. My mother also experienced an unfortunate marriage once.”

Yun Shan had yet to speak, but Chen Li had asked Wu Mei to stay.

Chen Li’s action had also caught Wu Mei by surprise. Wu Mei had not expected her to be so stupid as to ask her husband’s female friend to stay. However, this was good as well. It was precisely because of Chen Li’s stupidity that Wu Mei would be able to get back together with Yun Shan. Thinking of this, Wu Mei’s lips curled up imperceptibly.

“If that’s the case, thanks for your hospitality.”

After saying that, Wu Mei held Chen Li’s hand and kept expressing her gratitude.

Yun Xi looked at Wu Mei’s pretentious act and curled her lips in disdain. ‘Does she really think that I can’t see through her?’ The woman’s target was definitely Yun Shan. Nonetheless, seeing that Yun Shan did not have anything to say, he must have tacitly agreed to let her stay in the house.

Immediately after, Yun Shan spoke.

“Yun Xi, there aren’t any empty rooms in the house. You can squeeze in with Aunt Wu Mei.”

It was not a discussion but an order.

Yun Xi frowner. She had not expected her father to let her sleep on the same bed with a stranger.

“Yun Xi, I’ll have to trouble you then.”

Wu Mei still wanted to stay in the master bedroom with Yun Shan and the others, but now was not the best time. She could only squeeze in with the brat first.

‘Alright, since you’re so good at acting, let me play along.’ A playful smile could be seen on the corner of Yun Xi’s mouth, and a scheming look flickered in her eyes.

“Bear with me for the time being then, Aunt Wu Mei.”

Yun Xi deliberately emphasized the words ‘bear with me’, causing Wu Mei’s eyelids to twitch. She kept feeling that something bad would happen, but she still braced herself and agreed.

When it was time for dinner, Wu Mei still wanted to show off a little. She went to the kitchen and wanted to help Chen Li out.

She said that she was going to help because she was embarrassed to eat and live for free. She picked up the kitchen utensils and began to work.

Seeing that no one was stopping her, Wu Mei began to cook her dishes. After making a few dishes, she saw that it was about time, so she called everyone over to eat and taste her food.

Wu Mei’s cooking was quite good. Yun Shan looked at the dishes on the table. They were fragrant and looked delicious. He nodded his head approvingly.

Chen Li was a little jealous and turned to ask the children.

“Does Aunt Wu’s food taste good?”

“Haha, of course. Just by looking at these dishes, you can tell that they’re very fragrant.”

Yun Shan did not wait for the children to speak and praised Wu Mei first.

Hearing these words, Wu Mei looked proud and was secretly pleased.

Yun Xi did not stand on ceremony. The dishes taste good indeed. Since someone was being a nanny for free, why not?

“Brother Shan, do you still remember? This braised chicken leg was your favorite dish when you were young. When I grew up, I learned how to cook it from my mother. It’s a pity that you haven’t tried my cooking for so many years.”

This was a brilliant move. Wu Mei instantly brought up the memories between her and Yun Shan, and it also showed that she had been thinking about their deep friendship for so many years. She was an experienced b*tch indeed.

“Wu Mei, your cooking is really good. The dishes look great and taste like the ones I had in the past.”

Yun Shan praised.

“You b*tch, you actually came to your old lover’s house to cook for him. Don’t you know to go home and cook for me?”

Just as everyone picked up their chopsticks to eat, a man ran into Yun Xi’s house. From those few simple words, everyone could tell that he was Wu Mei’s current husband, Zhao Biao.

Upon hearing the voice, Wu Mei immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks.

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Chen Li’s face.

“Brother Yun Shan, what should we do? I can’t be brought back by him. I’m afraid that I might lose my life tomorrow.”

Wu Mei looked pitifully at Yun Shan.
