Lu Si arranged for the two to meet the next evening after Mei Shu finished school, at Mei Shu’s favorite restaurant.
Seeing Shen Yuan, Mei Shu felt like she had returned to her previous life, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
Shen Yuan, surprised by her change, blinked at Lu Si with a hint of teasing, “I hope 1 didn’t make your girlfriend cry. Later, don’t get angry with me.”
Lu Si tightly held her hand and asked, “Why did you suddenly cry out of the blue?”
Mei Shu shook her head, placing the menu in front of Shen Yuan, “Miss Shen, please order. I’ll treat you to this meal.”
Shen Yuan, unexpectedly, raised an eyebrow and smiled, “I thought Miss Mei might come to question me about that news.”
“I won’t.” Mei Shu smiled.
Only she knew that even if Shen Yuan really liked Lu Si, Mei Shu wouldn’t be angry with her. She was even willing to give up Lu Si for Shen Yuan out of gratitude.
Mei Shu cherished the few warm moments from her previous life, hoping Shen Yuan could always be carefree and live a worry-free life as a rich young lady.
A good girl like Shen Yuan deserved to live happily for her lifetime.
Shen Yuan was still surprised by Mei Shu’s attitude, but it also eased some of her nervousness. After ordering a few dishes she liked, she naturally handed the menu back to Mei Shu, saying, “I’ve been dieting lately, so these should be enough. You can order the rest.”
“Sure.” Mei Shu ordered a few dishes that she and Lu Si always liked.
A table full of delicious food, but Mei Shu felt it was not enough. During the meal, she kept asking Shen Yuan if there was anything else she needed.
Even Lu Si noticed Mei Shu’s infinite tolerance towards Shen Yuan. He frowned, feeling a bit jealous. “Shu’er, you’ve never asked me like this before.”
Mei Shu looked at him strangely, “If you want something, just order it yourself.”
Now Lu Si felt even more wronged.
Shen Yuan, on the side, watched in surprise, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “You two have such a good relationship. It seems I have no chance at all.”
She said it with a joking tone, making it hard to tell if she was serious or just kidding.
Mei Shu immediately said seriously, “Do you really like Ah Si?”
Shen Yuan glanced at Lu Si and smiled satisfied, “I quite like this face.”
Lu Si glared at her, not pleased. “Shu’er, don’t listen to her. She has always been obsessed with appearances, but I’m not interested in her.”
“Master Si, it seems you still remember our childhood, huh? I thought I was the only one who remembered.” Shen Yuan blinked her eyes in surprise, speaking more intimately, “When we were kids, I always liked to follow you around. You probably found me annoying back then, right?”
Lu Si gave her a side-eye, saying, “You do have some self-awareness.”
“That’s too hurtful.” Shen Yuan pretended to sigh in sorrow.
Watching the two of them banter as if no one else was present, Mei Shu felt a slight sourness in her heart. However, she concealed this emotion well. “You two probably haven’t seen each other in many years, right? How has the Shen family been? If you encounter any difficult problems, I’m willing to help.”
“Oh, 1 didn’t expect Miss Mei to be both beautiful and kind.” Shen Yuan sarcastically said, “I wouldn’t dare trouble Miss Mei for help. If Mr. Jealous Pot beside you flips, our Shen family will be in serious trouble!”
Mei Shu knew she wasn’t deliberately teasing her, so she smiled and said, “You don’t need to pay attention to him. I’m serious about what I said.”
Shen Yuan, shocked, widened her eyes, “Miss Mei, I’m starting to suspect you are my long-lost sister?”
Mei Shu teased, “If you’re willing, 1 can also call you sister. After all, I don’t have a real sister.”
“I disagree!” Lu Si gritted his teeth, interrupting the two women who were about to recognize each other as sisters.
If Mei Shu called Shen Yuan sister, wouldn’t he have to call Shen Yuan “Sister” too?
Seeing his disgruntled expression, Shen Yuan, with a sly smile, said, “Forget it, 1 can’t afford to be called sister by the future Mrs. Lu.”
Mei Shu thought that Lu Si was hindering her from getting closer to Shen Yuan, and suddenly felt that Lu Si was a bit of a hindrance. But since they had already started eating, she couldn’t just ask him to leave. So, she changed the topic and said, “1 have learned about the deal between you and Lu Si. Don’t worry, I have no intention of stopping the Shen family from making a comeback. This meeting is not for Lu Si; I just have some personal reasons that are hard to put into words and wanted to meet you.”
Shen Yuan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Miss Mei’s manners and demeanor were indeed unique. She had never seen a woman act so warmly when facing her boyfriend’s rumored girlfriend.
Could it be that there was some unknown connection between them?
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan finally put away her playful tone and said seriously, “Since you saved my grandmother last time, she has always wanted to meet you. How about we go to my house after dinner? My grandmother also wants to thank you in person..”
