    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    Mei Yun’s face indeed revealed a hint of nostalgia for the past.


    Wang Yue watched, gritting her teeth.


    That damned Mei Shu deliberately mentioned Bai Ling at this time!


    She couldn’t stand how close Mei Yun and Mei Shu were!


    In her heart, she cursed Mei Shu thoroughly, but on her face, she smiled even more gently. “In the future, Auntie will try to make up for the maternal love you’ve missed. If you have any requests, just tell Auntie.”


    “If you can do that, I’ll be relieved,” Mei Yun said, patting her hand appreciatively.


    Wang Yue, of course, exchanged nces with him, making Mei Yan almost vomit the buns he had just eaten.


    He quietly moved closer to his sister and gave her an admiring look. “Sis, how can you tolerate this?”


    “What’s the big deal,” Mei Shu replied calmly.


    Just as Mei Yan thought she was going to say something even more nauseating, he saw Mei Shu motion in Mei Jing’s direction and innocently shrug his shoulders. “Look at your brother, he can eat two more buns than usual.”


    Mei Yan:”…”


    His slightly pitying gaze slid slowly from his brother’s puffed-up cheeks, and he silently got up from the table.


    He couldn’t eat with these two abnormal people here. Instead of getting irritated watching them, he might as well go to school and review the content the teacher would be covering today.


    Because he had made ns with Lu Si to personally express gratitude to the Lu familyst night, Mei Yun had actuallye to the school gate today to pick up Mei Shu after school.


    Other students had only seen Mei Mu unt their family’s wealth in the past, so when they saw the usually low-key Mei Shu, they thought she wasn’t favored at home.


    But today, a conspicuous luxury car from the Mei family was parked at the school gate, and only then did they realize that the youngdy didn’t like showing off her wealth.


    Amid the exmations of envy and jealousy from the crowd, Mei Shu got into the car. As soon as the car door closed, it isted the noisy outside world.


    Mei Yun nced at his watch and said, “I remember Lu Yan’s ss is right next to yours. Why didn’t hee out with you?”


    Mei Shu suddenly found it amusing.


    Given how much Mei Yun cared about her, he probably didn’t even know which ss she was in now, yet he was thinking about having her y matchmaker between him and Lu Yan.


    She put on a serious face but showed a hint of mncholy. “Dad, 1 don’t know why, but ever since 1 came back this time, Aunt Qin doesn’t like it when I hang out with Lu Yan. So 1 thought it might be better not to deliberately invite him when we visit their house this time.”


    “Why is that?” As soon as the words left Mei Yun’s mouth, he understood.


    Since Bai Ling’s death, the Lu family and the Mei family hadpletely cut off contact.


    What didn’t he understand?


    It was all because Wang Yue hadn’t maintained their rtionship properly.


    In this regard, Wang Yue could be med for notworking better. If Bai Ling were still alive, the Mei family would probably be in apletely different situation by now.


    Mei Shu’s words hit the mark. She saw Mei Yun’s expression of frustration and stopped talking.


    Some things were obvious to everyone, and she just needed to remind Mei Yun at the right time, just enough to increase his dissatisfaction with Wang Yue without making him resentful.


    Father and daughter didn’t speak on the way, until the car stopped in front of the Lu family’s house. Mei Yun straightened his suit and said somewhat awkwardly, “1 can tell that your rtionship with Si Ye is quite special. I’m sure you’re aware of the Lu family’s status. Building a good rtionship with them is beneficial for our family, and it won’t hurt. I’m not asking you to deliberately tter others, but since we have this opportunity, we should make the most of it. Do you agree?”


    “Yes,” Mei Shu nodded obediently.


    Mei Yun looked satisfied and patted her head. “My Shu’er is the most well-behaved. Alright, I believe you’ll do well. Let’s go.”


    As he turned away, the smile on Mei Shu’s face disappearedpletely.


    The Lu family’s steward had received advance notice and personally came out to wee them, giving Mei Yun plenty of face.


    This made Mei Yun feel even more esteemed, and he became even more enthusiastic with hispliments.


    Once inside the Lu family’s estate, he couldn’t help but praise everything he saw.


    The steward naturally smiled and followed along. When they reached a gazebo in the garden, he stopped and made a weing gesture to Mei Yun. “Master Si is inside. If you have any requests, please don’t hesitate to ask me.”


    “Thank you.” Mei Yun bid farewell to the steward politely and then led IVlei Shu around a row of trees to the depths of the garden.


    The gazebo here was built in a unique style, different from the grandeur elsewhere. Instead, it had a gentle and serene charm belonging to the countryside.


    Mei Shu thought of the man’s aura and felt that he matched this scenery perfectly.


    However, she didn’t know that perhaps only she would view Lu Si this way, as everyone else thought of him as cunning and ruthless.


    “Master Si,” Mei Yun greeted respectfully as he entered the gazebo.


    Lu Si smiled and nodded graciously. “Please have a seat. 1 have something important to discuss with you..”
