“Yanyan! Don’t use the words you haven’t figured out yet!” Mei Shu hugged the little guy reproachfully and took the opportunity to walk to Mei Jing. “It’s getting late. We’re going up to rest. You can go now.”

This was the signal to bid the guest farewell.

Lu Si said helplessly, “Okay, I’ve already explained everything that needs to be explained, as long as you don’t continue to be sad alone.”

“Who’s sad?” Mei Shu glared at him and left with her arm around her brother’s shoulder. She didn’t even look at him, but her face was burning.

The next day was the last day Chu Rui stayed in Lin City.

Mei Shu specially invited him to her home for a small gathering.

As soon as Mei Yan heard that this person had helped his sister a lot in the countryside, he immediately helped Butler Zhao wash the vegetables and clear the table.

“Oh, Little Young Master, you just need to rest on the side. Someone will do these things!” Butler Zhao was afraid that Mei Yan would hurt himself if he ran around like this, so he quickly took the fork away.

Mei Yan pouted and said unhappily, “Sister has already gone out to pick them up. These people are so clumsy and aren’t ready yet. How can I not worry?”

Zhao Yan thought to himself, Since when is it this little ancestor’s turn to worry about family matters?

He quickly found an excuse to coax him. “Why don’t you go see if Young Master Mei He is prepared? Didn’t he say that he wanted to see Miss’s friend? I’m worried that he will be a little nervous. I don’t want anything to happen to him.”

At the mention of Mei He, Mei Yan became obedient indeed. He nodded decisively and said, “Okay, then quickly set up this place. I’m coming over to inspect it in person later!”

“Yes, yes!” Zhao Yan quickly nodded and bowed behind him.

It wasn’t until he saw Mei Yan really go to Young Master Mei He’s room upstairs that he heaved a sigh of relief. When he turned around again, he was already serious. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and tidy up this place. Are you waiting for Young Master to cause trouble for you later?”

“What’s there to tidy up? Just make some simple food. He’s a country boy; it doesn’t matter what he eats!”

The old lady, dissatisfied with the whole family’s busyness for Mei Shu, spat melon seeds on the ground from time to time, making the housekeepers sweep the floor repeatedly.

“Granny, don’t say that. After all, he is Sister’s good friend. Speaking of which, Sister has lived in the countryside for so many years. She must be taken care of a lot by that boy. We should be grateful.”

Mei Mu coaxed the elderly lady with a smile while peeling an apple for her.

Upon hearing this, the elderly lady rolled her eyes. “That’s right! Mumu, you reminded me. That boy must be that damn girl’s boyfriend? No wonder she insisted on taking him home!”

Mei Mu stole a glance at Zhao Yan’s livid face not far away and hurriedly said, “Granny, why would Sister have a boyfriend? Don’t think too much.”

“You’re just innocent. I think their relationship is definitely not ordinary. The children who grew up in the countryside are wild and uneducated. They can do anything!” The elderly lady’s words were obviously getting more and more unpleasant.

Zhao Yan walked over with a tense face and interrupted her. “Madam, in the past few years when Miss lived in the countryside, she had been accompanied by someone from your family. If Miss really has something, President Mei must know.”

“What do you mean? Are you blaming me for framing her? Don’t forget, you’re just a worker for our family! Believe it or not, I’ll ask my son to fire you immediately!”

The elderly lady didn’t give any face to anyone. Although she had no power at all, she still wanted to do whatever she wanted in this family with her son’s identity.

Upon seeing this, Mei Mu hurriedly spoke up for Butler Zhao. “Granny, don’t make things difficult for Butler Zhao. I know the old woman who accompanied Sister in the countryside. If you don’t believe me, 1 can call her now to verify it.”

“Okay, then fight now. I’d like to see if that damn girl has already been with another man…”

Before the elderly lady finished speaking, Zhao Yan coughed lightly, looking a little angry.

Not to mention that he had watched Mei Shu grow up, even if he was just an ordinary passerby, he couldn’t stand others unscrupulously slandering a girl’s innocence behind her back.

No matter how much the elderly lady didn’t like Mei Shu, it was fine to say some things to her face, but it would be too much to spread dirty rumors behind her back!

At this moment, Mei Mu still had to maintain her beautiful image of being pure and gentle. Of course, she didn’t want to see the elderly lady confront Butler Zhao in front of her.

She seemed to be protecting Mei Shu, but in fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone hear about Mei Shu’s despicable behavior in the countryside from Old Wang.

She was certain that Old Wang would never say anything good about Mei Shu!
