Chapter 40

Li Hua immediately patted her chest to show her loyalty, “If you asked me to go east today, I will never go west. Don’t worry, I will definitely handle it properly for you!”

Mei Mu was finally satisfied and nodded, “Follow me later and don’t run around, or else I won’t be able to find you when I need you.”

Li Hua smiled flatteringly and agreed repeatedly, but in her heart, she looked down on Mei Mu. She used to think Mei Mu was a real rich lady from a wealthy family, but she didn’t expect her to be an illegitimate daughter. The unremarkable Mei Shu was actually the true rich girl.

But Li Hua didn’t regret it, knowing that Mei Mu’s mother was the one who had taken over the position of Madam Mei now.

Before stepping down from the stage, Mei Shu took a careful look at the faces present, but didn’t see the person she had been wanting to see. She sighed lightly, knowing that Mei Feng still had a grudge against her, but he was also the only person who had come to visit her during the ten years of her paralysis. If she hadn’t been unable to sleep and closed her eyes to cultivate sleepiness one early morning, she wouldn’t have known that he had come to visit her.

Behind the tall green plants next to the banquet hall door, a boy in formal wear was peeking through the gaps in the leaves, looking at Mei Shu on the stage. After seeing that she was in good spirits, he put his mind at ease and then turned and left the venue without a sound.

Lu Yan looked at Mei Shu’s outfit today and felt a slight movement in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and smiled at Mei Shu. “You look very pretty today. You’re no longer the crybaby you used to be.”

Mei Shu laughed and glared at him without a good temper, and then joked, “You used to cry too when you were little, howling loud enough for every corner of the house to hear.”

Lu Yan immediately surrendered. “I’m sorry, I forgot how much we know about each other’s black history. To be more formal, welcome back!”

Looking at the sincerity in Lu Yan’s eyes, Mei Shu also smiled formally and replied, “Thank you!”

“Sister, Brother Lu Yan, what are you talking about? Why are you so happy?”

Seeing that Lu Yan came straight to find Mei Shu as soon as he arrived at the venue, Mei Mu was so angry that she itched to let him see Mei Shu’s slutty appearance right away.

Mei Mu studied very seriously at noon every day, so Lu Yan didn’t dare to talk about anything else. Finally, he waited for a non-study occasion like this to talk to Mei Shu more, but someone came over without any sense of propriety.

Lu Yan restrained his smile and glanced at Mei Mu. “Sometimes, happiness comes from the person you’re talking to, not just the content of the conversation.”

After speaking, he turned his head and hooked his lips slightly at Mei Shu, somewhat helpless. “Unpleasant factors always seem to come at the worst time. Let’s talk another day.”

Seeing Lu Yan enter the venomous tongue mode again, Mei Shu laughed lightly and said, “Okay.”

Mei Mu felt very wronged after hearing Lu Yan’s words. They were both daughters of the Mei family, so why did he always speak so bluntly to her?

Mei Mu glared fiercely at Mei Shu and then turned and left.

Mei Shu sneered and didn’t pay attention. Just as she was about to turn around, she was suddenly knocked down by someone. Mei Shu felt a pain in her ankle and exclaimed, “Ouch!”

The waitress panicked and helped Mei Shu up. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! Miss, I didn’t mean to!”

Seeing the situation, Wang Yue quickly stepped forward and angrily scolded the waitress, “What kind of work ethic do you have! I’ll have your manager fire you later!”

The waitress kept apologizing and then said apologetically, “Madam, it’s my fault. I accept the punishment. Miss’s ankle has sprained. Shall I help her to rest first?”

Seeing her trying to make amends, everyone also persuaded Wang Yue to help Mei Shu to the lounge first. Wang Yue grudgingly agreed and said, “Be careful when you assist the young lady. If anything else happens, I won’t let you off!”

Mei Shu let the waitress help her to the sofa in the guest room. She saw a thin wisp of smoke rising from the cabinet not far away, but there was no smell in the air. “Alright, you can leave now,” she said.

The waitress smiled apologetically and said, “Miss, let me accompany you.”

Mei Shu looked at her coldly and said, “I told you to leave now.”

The waitress saw Mei Shu’s eyes and felt a chill in her heart, so she finally left.

The next second, Li Hua walked in with a glass of water, wearing a fawning smile. “Mei Shu, I came to apologize to you. I didn’t expect you to be the real Miss of the Mei family. I hope you can forgive me for what happened before. Can I ask for your forgiveness after you drink this glass of water?”

It didn’t happen like this in her past life, but Mei Shu quickly guessed that the mastermind behind this was Mei Mu. She had been thinking about how to get Mei Mu here, but she came to her on her own.
