    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    Even the school teachers dared not easily oppose the Lu family, and given Lu Yan’s outstanding academic performance, the school was pinning its hopes on him for the college entrance exam!


    Hearing him speak, the grade director, who was initially resolute and intent on punishing Mei Shu, hesitated.


    “Well… Lu Yan, the nature of this incident is too severe. You don’t need to wade into this mess!” the grade director earnestly advised.


    Mei Shu also looked at him in surprise. “I can handle it myself. You don’t need to do this.”


    “Just leave it to me.”


    Lu Yan stepped forward to stand in front of Mei Shu, confronting the grade director and the principal. “I believe in Mei Shu’s innocence. No matter what evidence you have in your hands, I firmly believe that she didn’t do this! Please reinvestigate and make sure not to wrong an innocent person.”


    His words were resolute, leaving the grade director unsure how to proceed, so he subconsciously looked at the principal. “What do you think we should do with this matter?”


    The principal pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly. “Since Lu Yan is vouching for you, I’ll give you a few days. However, if you can’t find the real thief by Friday, we will have to consider you as the culprit and publicly criticize you throughout the whole school!”


    Although this statement was unreasonable, Mei Shu didn’t mind.


    “Alright, it’s a deal.”


    After saying that, Mei Shu turned and left, and Lu Yan quickly followed.


    In the hallway, Lu Yan actively tried to help Mei Shue up with a solution. “Don’t worry, my family has many skilled people. We can definitely recover the surveince footage and find the real thief.”


    “There’s something I want to ask you for help with,” Mei Shu smiled and looked at him.


    Lu Yan’s eyes lit up. “What is it? Just tell me.”


    Mei Shu said with a smile, “I want to see what real hackers are like. Can you take me to see how they operate? I promise not to cause trouble.”


    “That’s not difficult,” Lu Yan chuckled, wanting to pat her head, but he realized that Mei Shu was no longer the little girl she used to be, so he blushed and withdrew his hand. “You cane to my house tonight, and I’ll show you.” “Thank you!” Mei Shu genuinely wanted to learn this skill.


    She had thought about it.


    With her current system that seemed like a cheat, perhaps after meeting real hackers, the system would issue tasks rted to this field, and she might be able to learn hacking skills!


    After finalizing their ns, Lu Yan escorted Mei Shu back to her ssroom before leaving.


    Those who were nning to mock Mei Shu in the ssroom now had to restrain themselves.


    Mei Shu quietly finished the sses for the rest of the day. When it was time to leave school, Lu Yan came to the door of her ssroom to pick her up.


    As the two of them walked side by side down the stairs, the ssmates who had been peeking from behind the doorframe nervously retracted their extended necks and looked into the ssroom. “Could they be dating?”


    Why else would they always be together?


    Everyone turned to look at Mei Mu with inquiring eyes.


    Mei Mu’s breath almost stopped for a moment and she quickly shook his head. “I’m not sure. Sister never tells me about her matters. But I don’t think they’re together. After all, I don’t think Lu Yan’s mother likes my sister very much.” Qin Qin didn’t like Mei Shu?


    Upon closer thought, that was entirely normal.


    Who wouldn’t want their son to marry a well-bred and well-raised youngdy from a reputable family?


    Mei Shu had spent several years in the countryside, and that was a ck mark on her that she could never erase. Thebel of a vige girl would be stamped on her forever.


    Naturally, Qin Qin wouldn’t want such a daughter-inw. If it were Mei Mu instead, the Lu family would certainly be very willing.


    Regardless of what people said behind their backs, Mei Shu had already entered Lu Yan’s car and unexpectedly saw Qin Qin at the entrance of the Lu residence.


    After getting out of the car with Lu Yan and walking up to her, Mei Shu greeted her politely.


    “Hello, Aunt Qin.”


    “Why are you here?” Qin Qin looked puzzled and sternly at her son.


    Lu Yan quickly exined, “Mom, I have something I want Mei Shu’s help with. I’ll send her backter in the evening.”


    “What is it?” Qin Qin continued to dig for details.


    Lu Yan didn’t want to say more and changed the subject, asking, “By the way, is Uncle home today?”


    “He’s not. Your uncle is on a business trip today and will only be back for the weekend’s gathering at the Zhou family.” After saying that, Qin Qin realized that her son was deflecting the conversation. In front of Mei Shu, she didn’t continue to inquire. She just gave Mei Shu a cold look and said, “Since Miss Mei is here, why don’t you stay for dinner tonight? So as not to spread rumors that we are being inhospitable.”


    “Thank you, Aunt Qin.” Mei Shu could feel how much Qin Qin disliked her.


    However, she didn’t expect to be liked by everyone. After all, she wasn’t money; not everyone would like her or approve of her.


    Lu Yan didn’t want Mei Shu to feel unwee in his house, so after a hurried goodbye to his mother, he took Mei Shu to his study..
