Mei Feng was also feeling uneasy, but he tried to appear more composed than Mei Jing. However, at this moment, he still felt a bit unstable. “1’11 go upstairs and check on Xiao Jing. 1 don’t want him to blurt out something that would bother Sister.”
“Go ahead.” Mei Yun sat firmly on the sofa without moving, showing no intention of returning to his room. As a father, there was still something he could do for his daughter, and if he didn’t do it, he would feel uneasy.
In Mei Yan’s room upstairs,
Since this little guy was forced by Mei Shu to lie down on the bed, his little mouth had been chattering non-stop.
“Sis, how could you let Mei Mu really go to send that scammer? Although he doesn’t look like a good person at first glance, even if it’s trash we don’t want, we absolutely can’t let Mei Mu take advantage of it so easily!”
Mei Shu lightly tapped his forehead and took off the cooling patch from his forehead, replacing it with a new one. “Trash? It’s impolite to describe others like that.”
Mei Yan disdainfully pursed his lips. “I’m just making a metaphor. Sis, have you really listened to what I said?”
“Yanyan, 1 never realized you could be so talkative before.” Mei Shu helplessly fixed his blanket and was about to leave.
Mei Yan anxiously grabbed her hand. “Sis, Mei Mu will definitely say bad things about you in front of that big scammer. Aren’t you afraid at all?”
“Afraid? What should I be afraid of?” Mei Shu chuckled. “Afraid that Mei Mu could overturn someone’s perception of me with just a few words? Do you think I’m so lacking in personal charm that people around me can be easily taken away?”
Mei Yan opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything more.
Mei Shu patted his head with a smile. “Alright, don’t worry about me. You just need to recover quickly. I’ll come to see you tomorrow morning. If you still feel uncomfortable, I’ll help you call Teacher to ask for leave, okay?”
“Okay.” Mei Yan, feeling aggrieved, said nothing more.
Mei Shu affectionately pinched his nose before reluctantly leaving.
Outside the room, Mei Jing and Mei Feng were staring at her with complex expressions. It seemed that they had already overheard their conversation.
However, compared to Mei Yan, Mei Feng was evidently more mature.
He didn’t blindly try to persuade Mei Shu but rather wanted to know her personal feelings first.
“Sis, what do you think Mei Mu is doing? Do you like the man who came to our house tonight?”
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow, seemingly not expecting her brother to ask so directly. A rare blush appeared on her face. “What she wants to do is something only she knows. We don’t need to make a big fuss about her. As for my opinion on Lu Si… I’m not very clear about it myself.”
After saying this, Mei Shu self-deprecatingly smiled. “Well, don’t think too much about this matter. It’s getting late. Hurry back to your rooms and study.” Mei Jing anxiously asked, “Sis, are we really going to let it go? Why don’t I ask Butler Zhao to eavesdrop quietly! If that woman dares to say anything unfavorable to you, I’ll slap her in the face right away!”
Mei Shu understood that her brothers were doing all this for her sake.
However, she hadn’t yet decided whether to include Lu Si in her circle.
Her thoughts were simple. If she didn’t plan to be with Lu Si in the future, she didn’t need to care about who Lu Si was associating with.
Since she didn’t need to care, she naturally didn’t need to speak up to stop something that could make Lu Si misunderstand.
But she had to admit that when she saw Mei Mu leaving with Lu Si, her heart felt like it had been squeezed by a pair of hands.
However, this feeling lasted very shortly. She easily suppressed the chaotic feeling in her heart without much effort.
“Don’t do unnecessary things, Xiao Jing. What you should be most concerned about now is your grades. You’re probably going to have exams soon, right?” Mei Shu suddenly showed a serious expression, and her gaze fell heavily on her brother.
Mei Jing felt a little panicked at the mention of studying. “Sis! Didn’t we delay a bit tonight because we were busy taking care of Yanyan? I’ll go back to my room and do my homework now!”
Seeing this, Mei Feng didn’t say anything more. He said goodnight to Mei Shu and returned to his room.
The corridor was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Only Mei Shu was left leaning against the cold wall.
Downstairs, the sound of the door opening sounded particularly abrupt. She subconsciously took a few steps towards the stairs, only to hear Mei Yun’s voice.
“Back already?” Mei Yun stared at Mei Mu who looked flustered expressionlessly and said, “What did you say to Master Si?”
His eyes narrowed, and he noticed that the bag Mei Mu was holding a moment ago was now gone. He could clearly see who she had given it to.
Mei Mu nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly walked up to Mei Yun, and apologized, “Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. 1 just didn’t want to say it in front of you and make you angry..”
