Chapter 62: Fabricating Lies
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No one spoke to Mei Mu for the entire morning, something that had never happened before.
Mei Mu endured the frustration until lunch break, but she couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed her follower’s hand and went to the corner of the staircase. “What’s going on? Tell me everything!”
Her follower hesitated and slowly opened the school forum on her phone to show Mei Mu.
When Mei Mu saw the content on the screen, she almost blacked out on the spot.
There were only two pictures posted on the school forum: one was the marriage certificate between Mei Yun and his ex-wife Bai Ling, and the other was the marriage certificate between Mei Yun and her mother Wang Yue.
The dates of both marriages were clearly visible, which meant that everyone now knew that Mei Shu was the legitimate daughter of the Mei family, and she was likely the illegitimate daughter born from her father’s affair!
“You’ve all been deceived. I am the legitimate daughter of the Mei family, and Mei Shu is nothing. Her mother is the mistress!” Mei Mu, in order to clear her name, started fabricating a story without any hesitation.
Her follower didn’t know the truth of the matter and listened dumbfoundedly, believing a few of the lies she was told.
According to Mei Mu’s version, Mei Yun and Wang Yue had been in love for a long time. However, after Bai Ling also fell in love with Mei Yun, the Mei family looked down on Wang Yue and wanted to force her to leave.

Bai Ling got pregnant shortly after marrying Mei Yun, while Wang Yue only realized she was pregnant afterward.
Unable to bear the thought of aborting her own flesh and blood, Wang Yue fought to keep Mei Mu.
However, Wang Yue, being kind-hearted, didn’t want to disturb Mei Yun, who was already married and had children. She chose to keep everything a secret and didn’t let him know about the existence of their daughter until after Bai Ling’s death. Wang Yue revealed everything to Mei Yun to give Mei Mu a better life.
After hearing the story, Mei Mu’s follower felt deep sympathy for Mei Mu. She felt even more guilty for her earlier attitude and wished she could slap herself.
She looked at Mei Mu, who was on the verge of tears, and hurriedly held her hand, whispering, “Mumu, I’m sorry. I didn’t know it would turn out like this. I shouldn’t have doubted you just because of those two pictures. It’s all my fault. I’ll post on the forum right away to clarify everything for you!”
Mei Mu weakly shook her head. “It’s alright. They don’t believe me, and I don’t want to explain anymore. My sister is also at N0.1 High School, and it wouldn’t be good for her if I said too much. It’s better for me to bear all the contempt alone!”
“How can we let it go like this?” Her follower, who had done her fair share of mischief in the past, quickly came up with an idea. It suddenly dawned on her, “I understand now. This is Mei Shu’s conspiracy! She’s new here, unfamiliar with her classmates, and wants to replace your position. So, she had someone post those two pictures on the forum. Otherwise, how could anyone easily get their hands on those pictures?”
Mei Mu could only cry and didn’t have the words to explain. She appeared like a delicate flower that had suffered great injustice and wanted to endure it silently.
Her follower felt even more guilty and wished she could let everyone know the truth immediately.
“Just wait, I’ll post it right now. I’ll help clarify the misunderstanding for you! I’ll make Mei Shu face the consequences of her actions! There won’t be a good ending for someone who harms others!”
Mei Mu smirked inwardly but maintained a facade of wanting to resolve the situation peacefully.
Her follower, provoked by her words, immediately posted on the forum, summarizing what Mei Mu had just said.
The post was quickly pinned to the top.
The forum administrator personally stepped in to speak up for Mei Mu, once again showing their devotion to Mei Mu like a little puppy.
Meanwhile, Mei Shu was eating in the cafeteria when she noticed Li Hua sneaking up on her. Li Hua seemed hesitant and sat at the table next to Mei Shu, with only a walkway separating them.
“You know about today’s incident, right? The whole school knows about it now. Isn’t this enough to show my sincerity?” Li Hua whispered, trying to approach Mei Shu.
Mei Shu quietly chewed her food.
After swallowing, she replied expressionlessly, “By doing this, everyone will think I’m behind it, and no one will suspect you. Is that your idea of sincerity?”
Li Hua became anxious and quickly put down her chopsticks. “I even begged my uncle who works at the Civil Affairs Bureau to break the rules and get those two pictures for me!”
She spoke in a loud voice, attracting curious glances from the students in the cafeteria.
Li Hua quickly lowered her voice and asked, “Then what should we do next?”
“Just wait,” Mei Shu finished her meal, calmly went over the vocabulary she had just memorized in her mind, and then said leisurely, “Mei Mu isn’t foolish. After learning about this, she won’t just sit idly by. We just need to wait and see how she digs her own grave.”
With that, Mei Shu couldn’t be bothered to say more. She picked up her tray and was about to leave the cafeteria.
However, as she stood up, a girl suddenly took a picture of Mei Mu and her follower talking, then quietly left the cafeteria from a corner.
With some time left before the official afternoon classes, the classroom was sure to be noisy. Mei Mu wanted to find a cool place to continue memorizing her vocabulary. But after walking a few steps, she felt someone following her..
