Without waiting for anyone to speak, Mei Mu casually picked up a bag from the side, carefully swung it behind her, and stood at the door, waiting.
Seeing this, Mei Shu couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, getting up to go upstairs.
Lu Si’s interested gaze fell on her figure, devoid of any hint of a smile.
Although Mei Yan disliked Lu Si, seeing such a handsome man about to leave with Mei Mu, he felt a sense of urgency.
He hurried a few steps and caught up with Mei Shu, blocking her path. “Sis, are you really leaving like this?”
“Aren’t you feeling unwell? Come on, let Sister escort you back to your room for some rest,” Mei Shu responded lazily.
Mei Yan anxiously glanced in Lu Si’s direction and, with gritted teeth, asked Mei Shu. “Sis, that big liar is your guest. Are you really letting Mei Mu go to see him off?”
“Doesn’t it make no difference who sees him off?” Mei Shu sarcastically raised the corner of her lips, and as she spoke, she had already ascended the stairs.
At the same time, the sound of the man’s voice came from the direction of the living room.
“Since Miss Mei doesn’t want to see me, then I’ll leave now. Mr. Mei, goodbye.” “Well, Master Si!” Mei Yun, worried, glanced up at the figure on the stairs and quickly followed Lu Si out.
Mei Mu stood at the doorway, smiling.
Lu Si acted as if he hadn’t seen her and, after leaving the house, briskly walked toward the parking area.
Mei Yun quickly apologized, “I don’t know what’s gotten into Shu’er today. Suddenly throwing a tantrum. Please don’t mind, Master Si!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Si finally halted his steps, and glimmers of light flashed in his pitch-black eyes. “Mei Shu is very good.”
Mei Yun was first taken aback, then quickly smiled apologetically, “As long as Master Si doesn’t mind.”
The three walked to the car, and Mei Yun conscientiously took the initiative to open the car door for him.
As Lu Si was about to step into the car, Mei Mu nervously spoke up, “Master Si, wait, I have something important to talk to you privately.”
She had been struggling internally all the way, and now she finally dared to speak out.
Mei Yun, displeased, quickly pulled her behind him. “Behave yourself!”
Turning his head, he respectfully said to Lu Si, “Master Si, please excuse us.” “Dad! I really have something very important to say. I must talk to Master Si tonight!” Seeing her father’s obstruction, Mei Mu became extremely anxious. Mei Yun was now somewhat embarrassed. He knew better than anyone what kind of person his daughter was. He was worried that Mei Mu might have some bad intentions, and if she offended Lu Si, their whole family would suffer!
“Oh?” Ignoring Mei Yun’s subtle hints, Lu Si smiled and continued, “What is it? Speak.”
“I need to talk to you alone!” Mei Mu boldly repeated her request.
This time, Mei Yun was thoroughly angered. He snorted and directly left with a stern face, “Mumu, come back with me! If you have anything to say, tell your sister and let her convey it in person!”
Upon hearing this, Mei Mu’s face turned pale. Gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, she emphasized, “I must speak to Master Si face to face!”
“Alright.” Without waiting for Mei Yun to say anything, Lu Si agreed.
This time, Mei Yun dared not say anything more. After bidding farewell to Lu Si, he gave Mei Mu a fierce glare before turning around to go back.
The surroundings were silent, with only the faint chirping of cicadas.
The two street lights above cast their shadows, elongating them and intensifying the distance between the two figures.
Mei Mu, nervous and sweating profusely, glanced at his face and then quickly lowered her head. “Thank you, Master Si, for being willing to speak for me.” Lu Si remained expressionless. “What is it? Speak.”
Mei Mu nervously raised her head for a quick glance at his expression and quickly lowered it again. “1 want to talk to Master Si about something related to Mei Shu.”
Mei Feng and the others were still waiting in the living room. Seeing only their father return, they all frowned in dissatisfaction.
Mei Jing was straightforward and couldn’t hide his thoughts. He approached his father and bombarded him with questions, “Dad, did you really let Mei Mu go to see that Master Si? Can’t you see what’s going on between him and Sister?”
“I can see it very clearly. Your father is just old, not blind!” Mei Yun was very displeased with his son’s attitude. Pouting, he sat back on the sofa, sipping tea leisurely, deliberately making them anxious.
Mei Jing couldn’t hold back his impatience, rushed up to him, and eagerly asked, “Then how can you let the two of them be alone together? Don’t you know what kind of person Mei Mu is?”
“I certainly know!” Mei Yun said impatiently, “But Master Si said Mei Mu could stay. What can I do?”
At his words, Mei Jing trembled all over. He quickly exchanged glances with Mei Feng and hurriedly ran upstairs. “I have to go report to Sister! If that Master Si dares to get involved with Mei Mu, I’ll make sure Sister never speaks to him again!”
Mei Yun helplessly put down the teacup, pointed his finger at his hurried figure, and scolded, “Restless temperament.. I wonder when you’ll ever grow up!”
