At that moment, everyone from the Mei family surrounded the shy boy on the sofa.
Mei Yan held his hand tentatively and asked, “Brother He, are you feeling scared now?”
Mei He shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke, calling out, “Yanyan.”
Mei Yan immediately responded with joy, “Brother, tomorrow you’ll come to school with me. I’ll show you around, and when school starts, we can go together every day!”
Mei He nodded earnestly, then looked nervously at the people around him, fidgeting with his clothes. “1,1 want to go to the bathroom.”
Mei Feng and the others quickly made way for him.
Zhao Yan watched, moved to tears, as Young Master He voiced his needs for the first time.
It indicated a significant improvement in his condition!
Almost reverently, they watched Mei He’s back as he went to the bathroom.
However, they couldn’t shake the feeling that Mei He’s steps seemed to quicken, as if he were being chased by a hungry wolf.
Mei Shu coughed lightly, drawing their attention back. “Alright, don’t keep staring at Xiao He like that. He can feel shy too, you know?”
The steward, feeling embarrassed, smiled and said, “We’re just so happy! Young Master He’s condition has persisted for so many years without improvement, but the doctor recommended by Master Si is effective. It’s only been a short time, and Young Master He can now sit in the living room and talk to so many of us at once!”
Mei Shu also felt genuinely happy. After instructing Mei Yan on tomorrow’s outing, she prepared to dismiss everyone.
However, at that moment, the doorbell rang urgently.
Zhao Yan hurried to open it and found an unfamiliar old man standing there, holding a gift box from an international toy brand.
The man seemed to sense Zhao Yan’s confusion and politely introduced himself, “Hello, I’m the steward of AAr. Lu next door. My name is Zhou Xu. Mr. Lu specially asked me to bring this gift to Young Master Mei Yan. Please accept it on his behalf.”
“Well…,”
The neighboring Mr. Lu?
Wasn’t he Master Si’s grandfather?
But why would this respected figure personally send a gift to their young master?
When did they meet?
With doubts swirling, Zhao Yan asked Zhou Xu to wait and hurried inside to consult Mei Shu.
Soon, Zhao Yan returned hurriedly and respectfully extended his hand, “Please come in. Our young lady is expecting you.”
Zhou Xu nodded with a smile and followed Zhao Yan into the villa.
Mei Shu was sitting in the living room, waiting for him. Mei Yan’s eyes were fixed on the gift box the moment he entered.
“Please, have a seat, Uncle Zhou,” Mei Shu said politely, extending her hand. A servant immediately came to pour tea.
Zhou Xu didn’t waste time either and sat opposite them, smiling. “Miss Mei, this is a gift from Mr. Lu for Young Master Mei Yan. I hope he likes it.”
“Lu Ting?” Mei Feng and Mei Jing were unaware of what had happened during the day. Their impression of Lu Ting was still stuck at the engagement banquet, where he was their sister’s enemy. Naturally, their tone was unfriendly. “We don’t want anything from him. You can take it back.”
Zhou Xu was taken aback and quickly spoke up for his master, “You misunderstand. Our master gets along very well with Young Master Mei Yan. He really likes his personality. He hopes Young Master Mei Yan won’t hold a grudge for what he said today.”
The accusing glances then shifted to Mei Yan.
Poor Mei Yan was suddenly scrutinized by his two brothers. Feeling guilty, he started to explain, “I didn’t know he was Lu Si’s grandfather at first. Don’t look at me like that! Sister also knew about this!”
Their gazes then turned to Mei Shu, this time filled not with reproach but with deep concern. “Sister, as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. This old man is suddenly giving gifts. Who knows what ulterior motives he might have. It’s better not to accept them. Our family can afford these things anyway!”
Zhou Xu was sweating profusely by now. He was afraid the gift wouldn’t be accepted, and then if he returned, his master would be furious. He quickly placed the gift on the table. “Please, young masters, don’t think that way. Our master genuinely likes Young Master Mei Yan. These are limited edition toys from around the world. Master spent a lot of money and used his connections to buy them. He hopes you will accept them.”
“What kind of junk toys does he think can buy our favor?” Mei Jing, without hesitation, tore open the package right in front of Zhou Xu.. But as soon as he saw what was inside, even he, who had seen much of the world, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, “It’s actually a global limited edition LEGO set? And this one, there were less than five released in the world! And this one too, they’re all sold out online, how is it possible to get them?”
