Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“All Si wouldn’t bully anyone.” Lu Ting retorted unhappily, “You old man, why do you always criticize your own grandson in front of an outsider?”

“Shu’er is not an outsider.” Su Zhi defended, “She’s my future granddaughter-in-law.”

“I haven’t acknowledged it yet!” Lu Ting was so angry that he stomped his feet, “Do you even know her? You met her for the first time and already recognized her as such?”

“I’ve only just met her, but All Si must have seen her more than once. I trust my grandson’s judgment. He can’t be wrong about someone he likes.” Su Zhi even threw Mei Shu a reassuring look.

That look seemed to say: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this grumpy old man!”

Mei Shu couldn’t help but smile, and Lu Si nodded in agreement, “Thank you for your trust, Grandpa. I believe you’ll like Shu’er more and more in the future!”

“I believe that too.” Su Zhi pulled Mei Shu along, breezing past the glaring Lu Ting, and sat at the head of the table as if Lu Ting were invisible.

Lu Si still didn’t want to embarrass Lu Ting, holding his hand and persuading, “Grandpa, let’s sit down and eat first. We can discuss anything later.”

Only then did Lu Ting snort coldly and sit on the other side with a stern face, not forgetting to shoot Su Zhi a fierce glare.

Su Zhi acted as if he hadn’t noticed, continuously asking people to serve Mei Shu food, noting her thinness and advising her to pay more attention to nutrition.

After a meal, two people who had just met were already quite familiar with each other.

Lu Ting, on the other hand, watched with clenched teeth, unsure if he was jealous or what. He suddenly interrupted their warm atmosphere, “She’s an adult. Does she need you to worry about what she eats?”

Mei Shu smiled and spoke up for Su Zhi, “Mr. Lu, Grandpa Su is just concerned about my health. Moreover, in terms of health preservation, 1 should indeed learn more from Grandpa Su.”

Lu Ting impatiently grunted, “Grandpa Su, Grandpa Su, calling him so affectionately, he doesn’t like you, he just wants to make Lu Si happy! Don’t take yourself so seriously!”

Mei Shu fell silent and didn’t say anything.

Lu Si hurriedly said, “Grandpa, don’t say that. Actually, 1 think you should put down your prejudice and accept Mei Shu. After all, what Shen Yuan did wasn’t Shu’er’s fault at all.”

“You dare to mention that incident! It was her who caused me to lose face!” Lu Ting slammed the table in anger, pointing at Lu Si’s nose, “1 told you a long time ago, this girl is not well-behaved and will disturb the peace of the family. Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?”

Lu Si also stood up to argue, “Grandpa, forgive me for being frank. The one you favored, Shen Yuan, was the one who was not well-behaved. What made you lose face is Shen Yuan and your own arrogance.”

“You! Watch me break your legs today!” Lu Ting picked up his cane and was about to strike Lu Si.

The butler hurriedly came over to dissuade, “Oh my, sir, please don’t get so angry. Let’s talk things over calmly.”

“You mind your own business!” Lu Ting pointed at Mei Shu, “Get her out of here! 1 don’t want to see her!”

“Grandpa!” Lu Si wanted to say more.

Mei Shu directly stopped him, stood up, and said, “Forget it, Ah Si, I’ll leave. I won’t come again in the future.”

Su Zhi hurriedly held her back, “Shu’er, don’t mind what the old man says. He’s just grumpy.”

Mei Shu forced a smile, “Grandpa Su, I’ll visit you often in the future, but 1 won’t step into this villa again.”

With that, Mei Shu turned and left without any hesitation.

“Shu’er!” Lu Si hurried to catch up, “Let me take you back. I’m sorry, I don’t know why Grandpa suddenly said those things. Before today, he was indeed very concerned about your health.”

“Alright, All Si, it’s not your fault, but perhaps your grandfather and 1 really can’t get along. I won’t come again.”

Mei Shu smiled at him, walked to the door, took the shoes handed to her by the servant, put them on, “You don’t need to accompany me. 1’11 go back by myself. See you tomorrow.”

“After you get home, send me a message to let me know you’re safe.” Lu Si solemnly shook her hand, reluctantly watching her leave until she disappeared from sight. Then he returned to the dining room with a dark expression, “Grandpa, what you said just now was too much. Shu’er hasn’t done anything wrong to our family. Please don’t say those things again!”

“What? Are you blaming me now? Since she wants to leave, let her! 1 didn’t invite her over!” Lu Ting sat down arrogantly, his face drooping as he looked at the table full of sweet food, lips moving, but he couldn’t say a word of compromise for a long time.

Su Zhi sighed deeply, patted his shoulder heavily, and said with a heavy heart, “You went too far today.. Even if you can’t stand seeing her get along better with me, you can’t drive her away like this, can you?”
