Chapter 398: Discrepancy Between Exterior and Interior

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Rui said proudly, “684 points. Yanyan, you have to study hard in the future and try to get into a good university so that your sister can rest assured.”

“But I remember my sister’s exam score was six…” Mei Yan’s words were cut off as Mei Shu used a piece of sliced steak to cover her mouth.

Chu Rui looked at her in confusion.

Mei Shu put on an apologetic smile and said, “Brother Rui’s results are indeed not bad. With you as an example, I believe Yanyan will definitely not slack off.”

“That’s good.” Chu Rui didn’t doubt it at all.

Mei Jing and Mei Yan looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

After the meal, the two of them found an excuse to secretly call Mei Shu away.

As soon as they arrived at an empty place, Mei Yan let out a long breath of relief. “Sister, why didn’t you let me say that your score was actually higher than his?”

“Yes, Sister, I think he’s wrong. Why did you deliberately change the topic just now?” Mei Jing was a little dissatisfied with Chu Rui’s attitude towards his sister just now.

Even if Chu Rui was doing this for Mei Shu’s own good, there was inevitably a hint of chauvinism in his words. He seemed to look down on girls.

Mei Jing actually wanted to correct Chu Rui’s point of view, but Mei Shu was unwilling to change the topic just now.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mei Shu rubbed her cheeks that were stiff from smiling and sighed. “He’s a guest. Even if our views are different, there’s no need to embarrass him at the dinner table. Anyway, he’s leaving tomorrow. It’s his business to think whatever he wants. It won’t really affect which school I apply to.”

“That’s true, but I don’t want to listen to what he said just now.” Mei Yan pouted and put his hands on his hips, throwing a tantrum.

Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh. She deliberately messed up his hair and naughtily ruined his style. “Okay, who wanted to call him brother just now? Now you don’t like him anymore? If you’re really impatient to deal with him, go back to your room to study. I can handle it alone.”

“That won’t do. I think this person is two-faced. I have to watch him in person in case he does anything to hurt Sister!” Mei Yan spontaneously took on the role of a bodyguard, trying to find out Chu Rui’s flaws from his words and actions so that Mei Shu could see his true colors clearly!

Mei Jing also agreed. “Sister, I’m afraid this person is different from what he looks like. Don’t be deceived. We’re here to watch out for you.”

Mei Shu didn’t know what to say.

She pointed at herself and said in disbelief, “Do I look innocent and gullible?”

Mei Jing nodded earnestly, “Perhaps, sis, you are very clever in other matters, but you can never understand men better than a man. Me and Yanyan will personally keep an eye on him for you, so you won’t end up walking into the lion’s den when you go to the capital.”

“I think the two of you are itching for a beating!” As Mei Shu spoke, he rubbed his hands and pretended to pounce on the two of them.

Mei Jing and Mei Yan shouted cooperatively and hurried into the villa.

Butler Zhao, who was passing by with tea and snacks, hurriedly dodged. He couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “Be busy. Young Master, Miss, what if you fall!”

“What an unruly thing. She thinks this is the countryside and she can still do whatever she wants!” The elderly lady, supported by Mei Mu, was coming out of another dining room after dinner. Seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but snort coldly. Taking advantage of the fact that Mei Shu couldn’t hear her, she seized the opportunity to mock her.

But she never expected that Mei Shu, who had already run quite a distance, would suddenly stop in her tracks because of her words. A pair of sharp eyes turned towards her unexpectedly.

Startled by her, the elderly lady subconsciously patted her heart and said, “What a monster! How can she hear me when I’m talking so softly?”

Mei Mu hurriedly comforted her. “Granny, don’t think too much. How can Sister hear you from so far away? By the way, Granny, the friend who was invited back by Sister shouldn’t have left yet. Shall we go over together to take a look?”

The elderly lady was finally relieved and nodded. “Yes, of course. This is my son’s home. We can’t let her bring some shady men back to mess around. If word gets out, it will damage your father’s reputation! I have to take a look in person!”

With that, she moved shakily into the living room with her walking stick.

Mei Shu heard their words and smiled proudly.

Since these two people were taking the initiative to find fun for her, why didn’t she enjoy it?

In the living room, Mei Feng was chatting with Chu Rui, discussing school matters. Once Chu Rui started talking, he couldn’t seem to stop.

When Mei Shu returned, Mei Feng discreetly gave her a pleading look for help.

Mei Shu immediately understood and personally took the snacks from Butler Zhao’s hand and placed them in front of Chu Rui. “These were personally made by our dessert chef. Try them and see if they suit your taste..”
