Chapter 566: Meeting Gift

“But don’t you have any regrets in your heart?” Mei Shu asked in return. “If you had persisted in your ideals back then, you might have made a name for yourself in your desired field. Even if you couldn’t make the Lu family as wealthy as it is now, it wouldn’t have declined under your leadership.”

Mei Shu’s words were not wrong.

Lu Ting suddenly fell silent, as if recalling a long-forgotten story from the past.

After a long while, he stood up with a heavy heart, his figure inexplicably lonely. “I’ll go back to my room. It’s ultimately the world of you young people now. No matter how much I say, it’s useless. I’ll rest now. Don’t let anyone disturb me unless it’s necessary.”

“Take care, Mr. Lu,” Mei Shu stood up and watched his retreating figure.

In her memory, Lu Ting always stood upright and refused to acknowledge his age.

Even though he needed a cane due to his age, he never required much assistance. He walked briskly without anyone’s support, emphasizing physical exercise and self-care, living his life like a young man.

But time had left its mark on him.

In this moment, lost in memories, his figure seemed so aged and lonely.

It unexpectedly stirred a sense of pity in Mei Shu’s heart.

If she could have a Grandpa who doted on her, he would probably be like him, willing to give up his ideals for his descendants and plan everything for her.

However, she was destined to never experience the love and care from her elders for the rest of her life.

She really envies it.

She felt fingers beside her gently squeezing hers.

Mei Shu suddenly came to her senses, realizing that tears had welled up in her eyes.

Lu Si lifted his slightly cool fingers and wiped away the tears from her eyes, saying with concern, “Don’t cry. Even if you don’t have elders to cherish you, I’ll treat you well for the rest of your life.”

For a moment, surprise flashed in Mei Shu’s eyes.

She hadn’t expected him to perceive such private emotions hidden in her heart. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she said, “Indeed, since you’re much older than me, you should be like an older brother to me in the future, listening to everything 1 say.”

“You want to call me brother?” Lu Si raised an eyebrow, showing a mischievous smile. “That’s not a bad title. You should address me like that from now on.”

Mei Shu rolled her eyes at him, knowing that he was teasing her again. She quickly shook off his hand and sat down to eat fruit.

Lu Si persistently approached her, “Come on, Shu’er, just call me brother, and 1’11 give you anything you want.”

Mei Shu moved away from him, shaking off the goosebumps on her skin, “Go away! Don’t bother me while I’m eating fruit!”

The two of them played in the living room for a while before heading to the movie theater on the top floor of the Lu mansion.

In the afternoon, when Lu Ting woke up and didn’t see Mei Shu in the living room, he asked the butler, “Where are they?”

The butler replied, “Miss Mei and Mr. Lu are watching a movie.”

Lu Ting sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping the hot tea brewed from the tea leaves Mei Shu had sent over. He asked, “What do you think of this girl, Mei Shu?”

The butler lowered his gaze and answered truthfully, “She’s excellent in every way—her character, temperament, and abilities. She’s not an ordinary girl.”

At his words, Lu Ting snorted sarcastically, “People who don’t know might think Mei Shu has given you a lot of bribes in private!”

The butler smiled and said, “I’m just telling the truth, sir. Nowadays, there aren’t many young ladies who are willing to cook. Besides, Miss Mei seems filial. In the future, she’ll take care of you with Mr. Lu. You can look forward to enjoying your old age.”

Lu Ting gave him a disdainful look and muttered, “Do you think 1 want her to cook? I just want to see how far this girl is willing to go for Lu Si! But I do feel sorry for her today.”

As he said this, he took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to the butler. “Give this to her. Tell her it’s a meeting gift from me. When a man brings a woman home, it’s customary to give gifts. Although I don’t approve of them, we can’t ignore the rules and let people gossip behind our backs.”

The butler took the card with a smile and said, “I’ll give it to Miss Mei right away. But speaking of which, Miss Mei’s cooking skills are really good. Even I want to taste a bit of it!”

Lu Ting gave him a sideways glance, displeased. “If you want to eat, cook it yourself!”

After saying that, he realized his tone was a bit protective of Mei Shu. He cleared his throat and added, “What 1 mean is, she’s not part of the Lu family yet. She shouldn’t treat this place like her own home!”

“Understood.” The butler dared not say more and hurriedly went to the movie theater upstairs with the bank card.

When Mei Shu and Lu Si came out, they met the butler.

Mei Shu politely asked, “Is there something you need?”

The butler took out the bank card from his pocket and handed it to her. “This is a meeting gift from Mr. Lu. He said it’s customary for a man to give a gift when introducing a girl to his family for the first time. So please accept it, Miss Mei..”
