Mrs. Lu found the girl’s words displeasing and didn’t want to continue the conversation with her. Annoyed, she waved her hand impatiently. “Since I’ve told you what I should, there’s no need for you to stay any longer. In the future, 1 hope you’ll keep your distance from my son and Zhou Li. As for the means you used to chase away Wang Yue and Mei Mu, I hope you won’t let Zhou Li know, so she won’t be influenced negatively.”

Mei Shu, who had been planning to leave, suddenly halted upon hearing this and coldly looked at Mrs. Lu. “I’m sorry, Auntie, 1 don’t care about what you’ve said before. However, your statement about me chasing them away, 1 can’t accept.”

“Isn’t it true?” Mrs. Lu sneered and said disdainfully, “You made quite a spectacle with the online video, sending your half-sister and your stepmother to prison. Can you honestly claim to be innocent in all of that?”

Mei Shu silently moved closer to her, nearly pressing their bodies together.

Mrs. Lu had never seen anyone act so audaciously in her presence. She was about to push Mei Shu away in anger.

But her wrist was tightly gripped.

“Let go of me, what are you doing? Did 1 say something wrong? Do you want to hit someone in my house?” Mrs. Lu threatened her.

“I won’t hit you, Auntie.” Mei Shu narrowed her eyes and said with a deep gaze, “Even if you don’t remember the bond between you and my mother, I remember the kindness you showed me in the past. So no matter what, 1 won’t offend you.”

“Then what are you doing now? Let go of me!” Mrs. Lu struggled forcefully, but the more she resisted, the tighter Mei Shu’s grip became. Gradually, a bruise appeared on her wrist.

Mei Shu lowered her voice and said menacingly in her ear, “1 don’t know what strange standards you have for judging human nature, but I want to make it clear that Wang Yue and Mei Mu brought it upon themselves. I’m determined to make them pay the price. You can call me vicious and scheming, but 1 want you to know that you reap what you sow. Just like how you favor Zhou Li now.” “Mei Shu! If you continue like this, 1’11 call someone!” Mrs. Lu threatened in a hostile tone.

Outside, a continuous heavy rain had begun at some point, and occasionally, a flash of lightning lit up the living room, making IVLei Shu’s already grim expression even more terrifying.

Suddenly, she smiled and shook her head helplessly. “Auntie, there’s one more thing I’d like to tell you. Even if you didn’t say these things to me today, I wouldn’t become your daughter-in-law. You can rest assured that we won’t see each other again in the future.”

With that, she abruptly released her grip on Mrs. Lu’s hand and turned her head, opening the living room door leading outside, with a resolute and indifferent expression.

Unbeknownst to Mei Shu, someone had been standing outside for quite a while, and his legs had become somewhat numb.

Throughout this time, he had repeatedly told himself to leave as soon as possible.

He shouldn’t have come to see her again.

She had made it clear that she wanted to distance herself from him, so why should he lower himself and try to please her?

However, he couldn’t help but think of the pitiful look of that girl in the photo when he saw her isolated by others. His heart ached, and ultimately, he couldn’t control his legs, finding some excuse to make his way here.

But he didn’t expect to hear an argument inside as soon as he arrived.

He should have left long ago, but when he saw Mei Shu, Lu Si couldn’t help but brighten up for a moment. However, when he saw Mei Shu’s dead-calm eyes, that glimmer of hope quickly faded away.

“Why are you here?” Mei Shu asked coldly.

Lu Si opened his mouth as if to say something, hesitated, and then awkwardly replied, “Just passing by.”

Mei Shu rolled her eyes in her heart and, noticing that Lu Si’s shoulders and hair were soaked through, she sighed deeply. “Where do you live?”

“Hmm?” Lu Si seemed not to have expected her to ask this question and was visibly taken aback for a moment. He then adopted a serious tone. “What does that have to do with you?”

“Of course, it has everything to do with me. It’s pouring outside, and that lady inside didn’t prepare an umbrella for me. I don’t have a driver waiting for me either, so naturally, I need to borrow an umbrella from you,” Mei Shu said matter-of-factly.

Lu Si subtly smirked for a moment but quickly regained his composure. “1 won’t lend it to you.”

Although he said this, his body had already begun to lead the way.

Mei Shu understood and followed him.

The weather outside was cold as if it were the dead of winter, and the rain outside was torrential.

However, Mei Shu hadn’t been soaked for long before a wet overcoat suddenly draped over her.

Lu Si stopped in his tracks, his face cold as he looked at her. “I don’t want people saying that the Lu family lacks hospitality. Other than that, there’s no other meaning. Don’t misunderstand.”

“I didn’t say I wanted to misunderstand,” Mei Shu muttered softly, then ran a few steps to catch up with him. She raised her hand to cover him as well, struggling to do it and imitating his tone, “You also shouldn’t misunderstand, 1 don’t want others to say I’m selfish and self-centered..”
