Chapter 78: Offering Herself
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Behind them, Qin Qian watched Mei Shu’s slim figure recede and let out a deep sigh.
From the looks of it, IVLei Shu hadn’t forgotten her manners despite staying in the countryside for so long. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked her to stay for dinner.
But just seeing Mei Shu reminded Qin Qian of the past Bai Ling.
If she were still alive, it would have been so nice. Lu Yan and Mei Shu might have already been engaged.
But now, Qin Qian had no intention of becoming relatives with the Meis at all!
The fact that Lu Yan could send Mei Shu home seemed to make him quite happy for a while.
He even didn’t let the driver follow and drove the car himself to send Mei Shu back.
Shortly after they left, a luxury car slowly stopped in front of the Lu family villa.
Jiang He personally got out of the car and opened the car door for his master.
In the car, Lu Si squinted his eyes and stared sharply at the car that disappeared around the corner, “Lu Yan has a good relationship with her?”
“Childhood friends.” Jiang He answered and stole a glance at his master with trepidation.
Lu Si got out of the car expressionless and looked down at Jiang He, whose head was drooping, “Since you’re so good at using idioms, I’ll have you copy the idiom dictionary ten times before appearing in front of me again.”
Jiang He was startled and raised his head. However, when he met Lu Si’s calm and unemotional eyes, he couldn’t say anything and quickly lowered his head. He apologized with a respectful attitude, “It’s all my fault. Master, please don’t be angry. I’ll disappear in front of you immediately!”
After saying that, Jiang He sat back in the car, driving to the underground garage, and feeling like crying at the thought of how long it would take to copy such a thick idiom dictionary.
After Jiang He left, Lu Si was left with Jiang Hai.
He turned his head slightly to look at the other assistant, his eyes narrowed as if calculating something, and he didn’t speak for a while.
Jiang Hai felt his scalp tingling, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead. “Ma-Master, Miss Mei and Young Master Lu are just classmates. They don’t have much interaction at school.”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly. It was so quiet that he could hear the sound of his strong heartbeat.
Just as he was waiting for Lu Si’s verdict, he didn’t expect to hear a somewhat ambiguous sneer from above.
“You’re right. From now on, I want to know anything concerning Mei Shu as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” Jiang Hai hurriedly agreed, respectfully escorting him into the Lu family.
On the other side.
After Lu Yan sent Mei Shu to the door, he was about to drive back. Unexpectedly, he was spotted by Mei Mu and Wang Yue who happened to come out, so he had to get out of the car to say hello.
Seeing Lu Yan, Mei Mu’s eyes lit up. Like a peacock seeing the most beautiful thing in the world, she couldn’t help but want to display her plumage.
“Brother Lu Yan, since you’re here, why don’t you come in and have dinner with us? 1’11 cook tonight, and you can taste my cooking.”
Mei Shu sneered inwardly when she heard this.
She couldn’t understand what was going on in the minds of these young girls.
Why did they want to show off their skills as a good wife and mother in front of the boys they liked? Didn’t they have any other value?
Or was it that a woman should consider raising children and being a good wife as her lifelong goal?
Wang Yue knew her daughter’s thoughts well. She finally caught this opportunity and wouldn’t let it go easily.
“Yes, since you’ve come all this way, why don’t you come in and have dinner with us? Mumu’s cooking is excellent. If you like it after trying it, you can come often in the future.”
Lu Yan sneaked a glance at Mei Shu’s expression. Seeing her standing there without any expression, he shook his head and declined, “No, there’s something at home. I’ll leave first. This time, I’m just Mei Shu’s dedicated driver. Now that she’s safely home, my job is done.”
He said it humorously, but it tasted different to the mother and daughter’s ears.
What did he mean by a dedicated driver?
The young master of the Lu family personally serving as a driver for a country girl, who would believe it?
And Mei Shu, how could she be with Lu Yan tonight?
Could it be that the two of them were really in a relationship?
Thinking of Lu Yan’s unusual attitude towards Mei Shu, Mei Mu gritted her teeth with hatred.
“Sister, Brother Lu Yan went to such trouble to bring you back. Why don’t you invite him to our house? It’s not very polite to not invite him. You just came back from the countryside, not knowing the rules is one thing, but since mother has spoken, you should at least invite Brother Lu Yan. Otherwise, how can he agree to stay for dinner?”
Mei Mu was really good at scheming, thinking that by using her, she could persuade Lu Yan to stay?
Mei Shu sneered and turned to Lu Yan. “Thank you for today. I’ll invite you to dinner another day. 1 won’t keep you any longer today; it’s too noisy at home. I don’t think you can eat well if you stay for dinner. You should go back quickly. Aunt Qin is still waiting for you at home!”
Lu Yan naturally understood what she meant and nodded with a smile, “Then see you at school tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Mei Shu watched the car leave and turned back to look at the disappointed Mei Mu. A cold sneer appeared at the corner of her lips, “Even if you want to climb up the social ladder by offering yourself to Lu Yan, you shouldn’t make it too obvious. Your behavior will only bring shame to the Mei family. If Father knows, he won’t be happy..”
