“Next, it depends on my sister.” Mei Feng recalled something with a displeased tone, “Ah Yan, where is your younger uncle? Why didn’t he show up at my sister’s coming-of-age ceremony today? Did he have any involvement in Shen Yuan’s matter?”
Lu Yan swallowed and hesitated for a moment before smiling wryly and shaking his head, “It’s not as you think. My younger uncle has a compelling reason for not appearing.”
“What exactly happened?” Mei Feng wasn’t very convinced that Lu Si would conspire with Shen Yuan against his sister.
He asked just to see Lu Yan’s attitude.
“My great-grandfather has come. He is my uncle’s grandfather, the real controller of the Lu family.” Lu Yan sat down leisurely and explained in detail what happened when his great-grandfather came to the Mei family early in the morning.
He knew that he couldn’t escape from his great-grandfather’s control. His smooth arrival at the Mei family this time was all thanks to Lu Si’s early arrangements.
“Now the entire Lu family is surrounded, and if 1 go back now, it won’t end well for me. But what 1 face is nothing compared to what Mei Shu is going through.” Lu Yan said firmly, “Quickly tell me in detail what happened here so I can inform my younger uncle.”
Jiang Hai might not have the chance to meet Lu Si so quickly. By bringing back more information, Lu Yan could help Lu Si prepare better and rescue Mei Shu together.
Mei He was also very worried about his sister now.
Today was supposed to be the happiest day for his sister, but unexpectedly, so many things happened.
Even he, staying at home, was affected. It could be inferred that Mei Shu’s situation must not be good.
At this moment, at the banquet venue.
Mei Shu was holding a wine glass, mingling with various dignitaries.
Although these people might believe Shen Yuan’s words, thinking poorly of her, for now, it was just Shen Yuan’s side of the story. As long as Lu Si didn’t speak, they didn’t dare to offend Mei Shu too much.
After chatting for a while, the guests gradually noticed that although Mei Shu had just come of age, her words and actions were exceptionally mature and sophisticated.
Setting aside the incident Shen Yuan caused, if Lu Si had accompanied Mei Shu to the banquet, the Mei family’s status would definitely have risen.
On the other side, Shen Yuan was itching with hatred.
She had caused such a commotion, but Mei Shu remained unaffected and continued to socialize.
“Yuanyuan, shall we leave? 1 feel that people don’t really welcome us here.” The old lady had lived for so many years. Although not very smart, she still had some insight.
They had made such a scene, but Mei Shu was not embarrassed at all. The ones who truly felt embarrassed were Shen Yuan and her.
Shen Yuan was unwilling, saying, “Grandma, you sit here and rest for a while. I’ll make a call and be back soon!”
What she was most anxious about now was the delayed news from Zhou Guo’s side.
According to her plan, she should have received the news that the police found the hairpin at the Mei family by now. Then she could publicly accuse Mei Shu of theft, leaving Mei Shu with a lifelong stigma as a thief.
The old lady, seeing her granddaughter’s determined appearance, knew that she wouldn’t easily change her mind. She sighed and said, “Alright, you go. I’ll wait here by myself.”
In the distance, Mei Shu was talking to a gentle lady. Seeing that only the old lady was left, she politely apologized to the lady, then put down her wine glass and walked over to the old lady.
The old lady, seeing her, was startled, covering her chest with her hands, “Mei Shu, why are you coming over? Yuanyuan will be back soon. You should leave quickly!”
“Why are you in such a hurry to drive me away? Are you afraid that if we stay together now, there will be a conflict, or are you feeling guilty for lying?” Mei Shu placed some pastries from the waiter’s tray in front of the old lady. “You haven’t eaten anything since entering the hotel until now. Have some first.”
The old lady looked at her in doubt, saying, “1 accused you of stealing my hairpin in front of so many people just now, and now you’re offering me food?” “Why not?” Mei Shu smiled, “I’m not that petty. Since you’re here, it’s not good to let you leave with an empty stomach.”
The old lady was somewhat moved. Thinking about the deliberately false accusations she made against Mei Shu just now, she felt even more guilty.
“Mei Shu, why don’t you break up with Lu Si yourself? Yuanyuan and Lu Si are old acquaintances and her Grandpa personally arranged the marriage. You’d better not compete with her. This is good for you.”
Mei Shu just sat quietly opposite her and looked at her without saying a word.
The elderly lady continued to persuade her anxiously, “Mei Shu, listen to my advice. Give up Lu Si. No matter how hard you try, Lu Si won’t disobey his Grandpa’s orders for you.. As long as you promise not to be with Lu Si, I’ll withdraw the charges with the police and won’t sue you for stealing my hairpin!”
