The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1742: Chapter 1742: Is My Father Not Doing Well?

Meng Han truly didn’t know. After Meng Qi returned, he did mention to her that Uncle Meng had been rescued, but the escort agency was still not very safe, so Uncle Meng was temporarily settled outside and would return once everything was settled.

He didn’t tell Meng Han that Uncle Meng was severely injured and was recuperating, to prevent her from worrying and wanting to check on him.

Meng Qi himself almost couldn’t bear the sight of Uncle Meng’s condition, let alone Meng Han. He didn’t want her to be anxious, so he merely mentioned that he had been rescued.

As for Ms. Tao and Tao Qin, Meng Qi probably still held some resentment against them, so he didn’t tell them either.

After Meng Pei and Meng Yunzheng returned, they were constantly busy, with no time to inform Ms. Tao separately.

Thus, since Ms. Tao saw others return but never saw a trace of her husband, she felt constantly uneasy inside.

Shu Yu felt she deserved it. If she hadn’t insisted on taking Tao Qin to rescue Jiang Kuanyu, Uncle Meng would still have been safely in the secret chamber and wouldn’t have suffered so.

Jiang Kuanyu had kept him tied up and tortured for two days, almost costing him his life.

Just thinking about it, Ms. Tao’s voice came from inside, ”Fine, if you won’t tell me, I’ll go find your elder brother or your cousin. Someone will tell me.”

Ms. Tao seemed about to leave, but Meng Han quickly held her back, even her voice was much colder than before, ”Mother, can you be quiet? My brother and cousin haven’t had a good rest for days trying to rescue Father, and now that they finally have a moment to sleep, you would disturb them? Mother, if you can’t help in any other way, at least don’t make things worse at this critical moment. Do you have any heart?”

”Ah Han!! I am your mother, how can you speak to me like this? You, you...”

”Are you really my mother? All these years, I’ve always thought you were Tao Qin’s mother.”

”I...” Mentioning Tao Qin, Ms. Tao seemed a bit guilty, and her voice weakened.

Meng Han took a deep breath, ”Mother, just stay here in peace. My brother cares more about Father than you do. If you disturb them now, neither I nor Father nor the uncles at the escort agency will forgive you. I need to go help in the kitchen. I’m leaving now.”

Meng Han was not inclined to speak more with Ms. Tao. After saying this, regardless of Ms. Tao’s reaction, she directly walked away.

However, as she opened the door, she saw Shu Yu standing at the entrance.

Ms. Tao was about to follow, but upon seeing Shu Yu, she instantly stopped in her tracks.

For some reason, she now felt somewhat afraid of Shu Yu.

Perhaps because there was indeed no one standing with her now. Her son and daughter were estranged, and her husband was missing. Even though she was supposed to be the mistress of the escort agency, now it felt like she was an outsider, fearing Shu Yu.

Meng Han glanced back and closed the door, ”Sister Shuyu, you’re up so early.”

Shu Yu nodded, ”I need to head out for a bit.”

She acted as if she hadn’t overheard anything, as if she was merely passing by, and naturally proceeded to walk forward.

After a few steps, Meng Han caught up, ”Sister Shuyu.”

”What’s wrong? Is there something else?”

Meng Han pursed her lips, hesitated, and after a moment, quietly asked, ”Sister Shuyu, did something happen to my father? When my brother came back, he didn’t look too good, but when I asked him, he wouldn’t say. I feel like something might have happened to my father... something not good.”
