Chapter 1742: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1742: Is My Father in Trouble?
Meng Han genuinely didn't know. After Meng Qi came back, he mentioned that their father had been rescued but the escort agency still wasn't safe, so he was temporarily staying somewhere else until everything was settled.
He didn't tell Meng Han about Meng Xiaoshu's severe injuries and recovery process, fearing it would worry her too much.
Meng Qi himself almost couldn't bear to see Uncle Meng's condition, and Meng Han, being even closer to him, would worry even more. He didn't want her to be anxious, so he only mentioned that their father had been rescued.
As for Tao Shi and Tao Qin, Meng Qi probably still held some resentment and blame towards them, so he didn't tell them either.
Meng Pei and Meng Yunzheng had been busy since they returned and didn't have time to personally explain things to Tao Shi.
As a result, since she saw others return but not her husband, Tao Shi had been increasingly restless and anxious.
Shu Yu thought that if she hadn't insisted on going to rescue Jiang Kuanyu with Tao Qin, her husband wouldn't have suffered like this, bound and tortured by Jiang Kuanyu for two days, almost losing his life.
As she was thinking this, Tao Shi's voice came from inside, "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll go find your brother, find your cousin. Someone will tell me."
Tao Shi seemed about to come out, but Meng Han stopped her. His voice was colder than before, "Mother, can you just calm down? My brother and cousin have been unable to rest for several days as they've been trying to save Father. Now that they finally got a chance to sleep, you want to disturb them? Mother, if you can't be helpful anywhere else, at least don't create more chaos at such a crucial time. Do you even care?"
"Ah Han!! I'm your mother. You dare to talk to me like this? You, you..."
"Are you really my mother? For all these years, I thought you were Tao Qin's mother."
"I..." Mentioning Tao Qin, Tao Shi might have felt a bit guilty, as her voice softened.
Meng Han took a deep breath, "Mother, just stay here peacefully. My brother and cousin care about Father more than you do. If you disturb their rest at a time like this, not only I, but my father and the uncles in the agency won't forgive you. I need to go help in the kitchen. I'm leaving."
Meng Han currently wasn't willing to talk much with Tao Shi. After saying this, she left without waiting for Tao Shi's response.
However, as soon as the door opened, she saw Shu Yu standing at the entrance.
Tao Shi had been about to follow but halted her steps as soon as she saw Shu Yu. Somehow, she was afraid of Shu Yu now.
Perhaps it was because no one was on her side anymore—her son, daughter, and even her husband were all distant. Despite being the mistress of the escort agency, she now felt like an outsider, even afraid of Shu Yu.
Meng Han glanced back, closed the door, and said, "Sister Shu Yu, you're up so early."
Shu Yu nodded, "I need to go out for a bit."
She acted as if she hadn't heard anything and just happened to be passing by, walking ahead naturally.
After a few steps, Meng Han caught up, "Sister Shu Yu."
"What's up? Do you need something?"
Meng Han pursed her lips, hesitating to speak for a moment before asking softly, "Sister Shu Yu, is something wrong with my father? When my brother came back, he didn't look too good, but when I asked, he didn't say anything. I have a feeling something might be... not right with my father."
