Chapter 12

Seeing the other party nod without hesitation, Mei Shu immediately blew on his wrist, which was almost put at her mouth, and comforted him. “Alright, I’ve already blown on it. Xiao Bao’s hand won’t hurt anymore.”

Seeing that his request had been fulfilled, Xiao Bao’s eyes curved into crescents, and his smile was filled with innocence.

Little Eight was already used to Mei Shu exploiting loopholes. [Congratulations Master for completing the mission! +10 points, affinity +1]

Mei Shu snickered. This was probably the fastest mission she had completed.

Mei Shu looked around again and didn’t find anyone who was suspected to be Xiao Bao’s guardian. Hence, she looked at Xiao Bao and asked, “Xiao Bao, did you go out with your family? Do you still remember where you’re going today? I’ll bring you to find your Daddy and Mommy.”

Xiao Bao’s eyes rolled. He looked at Mei Shu and replied seriously, “Daddy and Mommy are at home. Sister, bring me home.”

Seeing that Xiao Bao didn’t answer with any useful information, Mei Shu was at a loss. She guided him. “I don’t know where your house is. Think about what’s nearby that left a deep impression on you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Bao looked like Mei Shu was lying and replied with certainty, “You know where my house is! We know each other!”

Mei Shu widened her eyes and sized him up again. Then she said with certainty, “You remembered wrongly. We really don’t know each other…”

Before Mei Shu could finish, Xiao Bao seemed to have been agitated. He suddenly became very irritable and kept repeating loudly, “We know each other! We know each other!”

This scene frightened Mei Shu so much that she quickly reached out and patted Xiao Bao’s back, echoing his words.

Xiao Bao looked into Mei Shu’s eyes and slowly calmed down after feeling her comfort. Mei Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“My lady!”

A shout came from afar. Mei Shu could tell that it was the driver, Old Yan. She turned around and searched for him. After a long time, she found that he was waving at her from a parking spot diagonally across the road.

After Mei Shu responded, she thought that she might as well send Xiao Bao to a police station and get the police to think of a way to send him home. Unexpectedly, the person behind her disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mei Shu looked around but didn’t see Xiao Bao. Although she was a little worried, there was nothing she could do. After all, she was just a passerby who had met Xiao Bao by chance. She didn’t even have his contact number. She could only pray that he could encounter the police or be found by his family.

Mei Shu threw the matter out of her mind and took the car home.

Mei Yun still didn’t appear for dinner on Friday. The four people at the dining table were still the same as last night. After his eldest brother, Mei Feng, entered junior high school, he asked Mei Yun to buy a house near the school for him on the grounds that he wanted to focus on his studies. He usually didn’t return to the Mei family. His third brother, Mei He, was autistic and would not be picked up home unless it was a traditional holiday.

Mei Shu had returned to the Mei family after five years. To her biological father, Mei Yun, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea. It didn’t cause any waves. She was like an outsider without any blood ties to him and had nothing to do with him.

Mei Mu said proudly as she ate, “Mei Shu, don’t be too sad. If it’s not something important, Dad will never have the time. When he’s done with his business, he’ll naturally have a meal with you.”

In her previous life, Mei Shu would be sad because of this. However, when she encountered this again in this life, not only was her heart calm, but she even felt that she could deal with one less scumbag. Her appetite had improved.

After Wang Yue applied for leave for Mei Mu this morning, she arranged for someone to come over to help Meimu cover up her lack of eyebrows with eyebrow tattooing. Mei Mu also put on a wig and fake eyelashes. That was why she could appear here in her normal appearance to cause trouble.

Seeing that Mei Mu acted as if nothing had happened this morning, Mei Shu admired her mental strength.

Mei Shu couldn’t be bothered with Mei Mu’s barking. She wanted to quickly finish eating and go upstairs to copy notes. There were 18 books of notes! She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to finish copying on time.

Mei Yan rolled his eyes when he heard Mei Mu’s sarcastic tone. “Stupid baldy, if you have the time, you should take care of your hair first. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t grow hair anymore? Having a mess of your own affairs, you still have the leisure to laugh at others?”

When Mei Shu heard Mei Yan speaking up for her, she was surprised again. She didn’t expect Mei Yan, who was the most difficult to deal with among her brothers in her previous life to be protecting her.

Mei Yan realized that Mei Shu was looking at him and said uncomfortably, “What are you looking at? I just can’t stand the smelly baldy’s smugness. Who asked her to keep giving me nicknames?”

Mei Yan brought up embarrassing stories about Mei Mu again, which really hit a nerve with Mei Mu. She stood up in anger and shouted, “Shorty! I have hair! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll make you regret it!”
