Mei Shu felt that the elder of the Lu family seemed dull and uninteresting, but surprisingly, these bodyguards were somewhat likable.
She suddenly felt like teasing them and deliberately leaned against Lu Si’s shoulder, joking, “I won’t go. Can you guys really tie me up and take me there?”
The two bodyguards exchanged glances and actually took out two bundles of ropes from behind their backs.
Mei Shu:”…” She looked at Lu Si with some difficulty, really wondering how this guy managed to grow up safely under that old man’s hand!
Lu Si explained knowingly, “Grandpa actually doesn’t like to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. He’s just too anxious this time.”
Mei Shu nodded solemnly, “It’s understandable. Adding me as a granddaughter-in-law in the future, he should indeed be anxious. Your sister-in-law doesn’t like me either, right?”
Lu Si quickly denied with a strong sense of survival, “That’s because they don’t understand you. I believe that once Grandpa gets to know you, he’ll definitely like you very much.”
Mei Shu found his words comforting, and even the hostility between her eyebrows subsided a lot. “Then shall we go and let him know me?”
“It’s up to you. If you’re not ready yet, you don’t have to be in such a hurry.” Lu Si maintained a nonchalant attitude.
Mei Shu shrugged helplessly, “Forget it, let’s just go. After all, they even brought ropes with the bodyguards. We can always leave if things don’t go well.”
Lu Si agreed with a smile. They bought some gifts on the way and then returned to the Lu family together.
As soon as they entered, they could feel the heavy atmosphere inside.
Lu Ting sat in the middle of the sofa, with Lu Li and his wife on either side, patiently coaxing the old man.
Sitting across from them was Lu Yan. As soon as he saw Mei Shu had really come, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up.
“Ahem.” Lu Ting coughed sternly.
Lu Yan immediately sat down awkwardly, only casting a worried glance at Mei Shu.
Lu Si helped Mei Shu change into slippers, then they walked together to Lu Ting. “Grandpa, I’ve brought Shu’er back, and this is the gift we got for you.”
Lu Ting snorted coldly, not even looking at those things. He had a stern face, and someone who didn’t know might think Mei Shu owed him a lot of money.
“Take them away. I don’t want these things, and I definitely won’t accept anything from her!”
With that said, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became even more suffocating.
Lu Li quickly smiled and persuaded, “Grandpa, these are Miss Mei’s sincere intentions. Please accept them.”
After speaking, he took the liberty to call the steward, “Organize the items and put them away properly. Be careful not to damage anything.”
“Yes.” The steward felt as if he had been granted amnesty as he hurriedly carried the items away. As he left, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, Lu Li was kind-hearted. He noticed his discomfort and found an excuse to let him leave, otherwise, if he stayed any longer, his heart would have been so nervous that he might have had a heart attack!
With no outsiders present, Lu Ting’s temper became even less restrained.
“Mei Shu, tell me, did you intentionally cause trouble today to disrupt All Si’s engagement ceremony? Do you really think that without Shen Yuan, I would let you into our family? Let me tell you, I detest women like you, who are cunning and shameless!”
“Grandpa, your words are too harsh.” Lu Li was afraid that things would escalate beyond control and quickly tried to placate the old man, while also desperately signaling to Lu Si to take Mei Shu back to his villa.
The old man was obviously looking for someone to vent his anger on. Mei Shu couldn’t confront him directly at the moment.
It would be better to wait until the old man calmed down before explaining to him slowly.
Lu Si nodded in understanding and took Mei Shu’s hand, about to lead her away.
Lu Ting became even angrier when he saw his actions. “Let’s see how long you can protect her! If you insist on being with a woman like her, don’t ever recognize me as your grandfather again!”
“Grandpa, Mei Shu didn’t come here to be scolded by you.” Lu Si furrowed his brows tightly, gripping the hand next to him tighter and tighter.
Mei Shu felt his dilemma and gently withdrew her hand, walking up to Lu Ting. “Grandpa Lu, regarding what you just said about me intentionally causing trouble and disrupting the engagement, I can only say, you’re absolutely right. I did deliberately make a scene in front of everyone to let everyone know Shen Yuan’s true nature.”
“Good, you dare to be bold! You are truly treacherous!” Lu Ting was so angry that he almost fainted, pointing at her hand and trembling non-stop. It seemed that he also had a serious heart problem.
No wonder Lu Si had never confronted Lu Ting head-on but only did things behind the scenes.
Mei Shu understood the situation and smiled even sweeter, “Grandpa Lu.”
“You’re not qualified to call me Grandpa!” Lu Ting withdrew his hand, his chest heaving up and down violently.
Lu Li and his wife quickly patted his chest to help him calm down.
“Grandpa, please don’t be angry first. Let’s listen to what Miss Mei has to say..”
