“All of that is fake!” Shen Yuan didn’t want to explain the matter further to her grandmother, so she changed the topic and said, “Anyway, Master Si is not my boyfriend. If you keep saying that, Mei Shu might get upset.”
The old lady then said sternly, “I knew those journalists always love making up stories! Lu Si and Yuanyuan’s so-called engagement was just a joke when they were children, but they portrayed it like it’s real! You mustn’t believe their words!”
Mei Shu looked at the old lady, who seemed afraid that Mei Shu might be offended by her previous words. Mei Shu helplessly smiled and said, “Okay, Grandma, I know about this. Don’t worry, 1 won’t be upset.”
“That’s good.” The old lady finally felt relieved. “Lu Si is a good kid. Although our two families haven’t been in contact for a long time, he’s different from other kids since childhood. He’s responsible, mature, and sensible. You’ll be well taken care of when you’re with him.”
The old lady sighed softly, “I had always hoped that Yuanyuan and Lu Si could be together. That way, 1 could confidently marry off my precious granddaughter. Unfortunately, they aren’t fated enough.”
“Grandma!” Shen Yuan pouted and quickly changed the subject, “Didn’t you prepare a gift for the kind girl who saved you that day?”
“Oh, right! Butler, go to my room and bring that box over!” The old lady clapped her hands and hurriedly asked someone to bring the gift.contemporary romance
She had prepared a classical and exquisite hairpin for Mei Shu, with decorations hanging from the head of the hairpin made of pure gold, indicating its considerable value.
Mei Shu took one look and immediately pushed the item back into the old lady’s hands. “Grandma, this is too precious; 1 can’t accept it.”
Shen Yuan’s eyes flashed slightly as she stared at the hairpin, seemingly lost in thought. Then she smiled and said, “Since it’s from Grandma, you should accept it. If you don’t, Grandma will be uneasy, and she won’t sleep well at night.”
“Yes, Yuanyuan is right. Just accept it; it’s just a small token of my affection.” The old lady handed the item back to Mei Shu.
Helplessly, Mei Shu had no choice but to accept it. “Okay, 1’11 take it for now. When Yuanyuan gets married, I’ll give it to her as one of the congratulatory gifts.”
Shen Yuan glanced at Lu Si seemingly casually, then chuckled, “Alright, alright, you’re the most kind-hearted. We’ll follow your lead, okay?”
Mei Shu spent the whole afternoon at the Shen residence before heading back with Lu Si.
On the way, Lu Si, with a strange expression, reminded Mei Shu, “Shen Yuan has been quite calculating since she was a child. You need to be careful when befriending her. Although 1 don’t know why you treat her differently, you should keep it in mind.”
Mei Shu just thought he was being overly cautious due to his usually careful nature and didn’t take it to heart.
However, she didn’t expect changes to happen so quickly.
Mei Shu’s coming-of-age ceremony was entirely arranged by Lu Si. He booked a top-notch hotel in the city and invited influential people from the city to thoroughly introduce Mei Shu to them.
He knew that Mei Shu was destined to inherit the Me family’s business. By letting her meet these people earlier, he was also laying the groundwork for her future career.
Everything was ready.
However, when Lu Si was about to drive to pick up Mei Shu that day, an unexpected figure, one he never thought would appear here, directly detained him.
In the Me family, Me Yan was even more excited today than Mei Shu herself.
He stood in front of the mirror, wearing a well-tailored suit. Looking at himself in the mirror, he was very satisfied, saying, “I will be a little handsome in the future. Surely, I’ll be more popular than Second Brother.”
Hearing this, Me Jing gave him an unkind look and waved his fist, “You’re just being narcissistic. Hurry up and get ready. Let’s go and see Sister. She must be exceptionally beautiful today in her dress.”
“My sister is, of course, the most beautiful girl!” Me Yan walked out confidently, seemingly also eager to see Mei Shu’s appearance today. Originally, his steady steps suddenly accelerated later on, as if he couldn’t wait to directly fly to Mei Shu.
“Sis, are you ready?” Me Yan lightly knocked on the door, not daring to enter directly.
“Okay, come in.” Mei Shu’s voice came from behind the door.
Only then did Me Yan twist the door handle and walk in.
On the way here, he had imagined how beautiful his sister would be today, but he never expected that his imagination was too limited.
Mei Shu’s beauty today was beyond what he could conjure up in his mind!
Her dress was a gradual blue and pink color, resembling the colors of the sea. The pleated design of the fishtail-shaped skirt accentuated her full figure. The suspender on her upper body perfectly outlined her curvaceous silhouette, making her look like a mermaid walking on land. The color combination of the skirt was also very eye-catching, like a beautiful princess from under the sea.
Me Yan and Me Jing couldn’t help but stare blankly for a moment, unable to find words to describe Mei Shu at the moment..
