Jiang He heard a familiar cold voice as he pushed the door open and entered. “Master Si.”
Lu Si was looking at the latest financial report of the group, not lifting his head and pursing his thin lips tightly. After a while, he asked, “Is it someone from the community?”
Jiang He placed the USB flash drive on the desk and respectfully replied, “Yes, currently the most likely suspect is Miss Mei Shu from the Mei family. Here is Miss Mei’s detailed information.”
After reading it on the computer, Lu Si frowned slightly and said softly, “Car accident? Her mother just died and her father remarried, had an affair within the marriage, and sent her to the countryside. Only the eldest of the four sons is still studying well. Although the Mei family has just entered the circle, they’ve had all the dirty scandals of the old and established families.”
Lu Si took out the bracelet and rubbed it a few times. He relaxed his body and leaned back in his chair, looking up at the stars outside the window, recalling the different personalities displayed by Mei Shu in the countryside and after returning to the city in the information. His intuition told him that Mei Shu had many secrets.
“It seems that I need to meet Miss Mei Shu.”
At this moment, there was also Mei Shu, who Lu Si was referring to as Miss Mei, looking at the stars like him. contemporary romance
Mei Shu had just finished washing up at 11:30 pm and was sitting outside on the balcony, looking at the stars and reminiscing about her past life.
There was a difference in the time of the banquet from her previous life. Mei Shu was originally unsure if Wang Yue would use the same means as in her past life, but when she saw that dress, she was certain.
It seems that she was once again trying to ruin her innocence and reputation, just like in her past life. But this time, she wouldn’t be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. As the saying went, she was now going to experience the thrill of being a director.
After a good night’s sleep, Mei Shu stretched lazily. When she saw the time on her phone, she realized that it was one day closer to the banquet. She was also looking forward to it. After washing up and leaving her room, she ran into her two brothers who had already woken up.
“Good morning, Big Sister.”
“Morning.”
Mei Yan called her big sister obediently, while Mei Jing found it hard to call her sister for some reason and would always talk to her without addressing her.
Mei Shu didn’t care about this. She smiled and replied, “Morning.”
Mei Yan was young and spent every day with Mei Shu. He received the care from a family member that he had always wanted, which slowly made him let go of the hateful thoughts that Wang Yue had instilled in him. He felt that if their mother’s car accident was caused by that phone call, it would be his big sister who suffered the most pain internally.
Mei Yan and Mei Shu had become very familiar with each other. When he saw Mei Shu, he immediately ran up and held her hand.
Mei Jing, who was watching from behind, pouted and muttered, “Bootlicker.”
Mei Shu smiled and rubbed Mei Yan’s head with her other hand, praising him, “Your progress has been very fast recently. You have already caught up to second grade. It’s amazing!”
Mei Yan raised his little face and smiled, his eyes almost squinting with joy. He glanced at his older brother’s grumpy face behind him and let out a suppressed giggle. In the end, he still said with a kind heart, “It’s thanks to my older brother. If he hadn’t helped me with my studies, I definitely wouldn’t have improved so quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Jing immediately became proud and glanced at Mei Shu. “Just third grade, no big deal. I can ace it with my eyes closed!”
Mei Shu laughed and said, “Mei Jing did well this week. He was able to complete his daily study plan on time, even though he struggled to finish his homework. He managed to complete it on his own, although there were many mistakes. However, his attitude was very positive.”
Mei Jing was pleased that Mei Shu had noticed every change in him. Although he tried to act indifferent, the slight upward curve of his mouth betrayed his good mood.
After breakfast, everyone went to school.
In school, Zhao Min finally managed to reach Mei Mu on the phone. She suppressed her anger and asked calmly, “Mei Mu, how is your health? You promised to video call me every day, but I haven’t been able to contact you.”
Mei Mu was lying in bed, reading a fashion magazine. She casually said, “Teacher, I’m still not feeling well, so I didn’t contact you. Don’t worry, I’ll just go straight to the competition.”
Zhao Min had lived for over forty years and knew that Mei Mu was just making excuses. She wasn’t in a coma and was able to move, so why couldn’t she even take the initiative to call her and inform her? She didn’t even answer her calls.
Although there was only half a month left until the preliminary competition, Zhao Min still made a decision. She said calmly, “Mei Mu, since you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t participate in this competition. If your condition is not good, you will waste the spot, and it’s better to give other students a chance to shine.”
