“Yes, yes, Young Master is absolutely right. I shouldn’t have brought it up at this time. Miss just came back from outside and should rest well now,” Zhao Yan immediately changed his tune, as always indulging the Mei family’s children.

Mei Shu stood up and gently patted Mei Yan’s head. “Don’t talk to Uncle Zhao like that. Uncle Zhao is always good to you!”

Mei Yan, realizing his mistake, rubbed his head in apology. “Sorry, Uncle Zhao. I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that just now. I know you always have our best interests at heart. Please don’t be mad at me.”

He apologized quickly.

Zhao Yan couldn’t help but laugh. “Young Master, you don’t need to apologize to me. It’s my fault for bringing up something that upset you.”

Mei Shu intervened with a smile, “Alright, Uncle Zhao, don’t spoil him too much. Let’s go have dinner.”

“Okay!” Mei Yan excitedly grabbed Mei Shu’s arm, gave Zhao Yan a sweet smile, and then pulled his sister’s hand to the dining room.

To Mei Shu’s surprise, Mei He happened to come out of the kitchen at that moment, holding two plates of steaming stir-fry.

Seeing her return, Mei He’s eyes lit up, and he stuttered, “Sister.”

Mei Shu quickly walked over and took the plates from him. “Why are you still in the kitchen? Aren’t you afraid of burning yourself?”

Mei He smiled shyly, unconsciously tightening his hands that were hanging down. “Sister came back today, and I wanted Sister to try the dishes 1 made myself.”

“Alright, Xiao He is really amazing now, aren’t you? You can even cook now?” Mei Shu replied with a smile as she arranged the dishes on the table.

Mei Feng smoothly continued the conversation, “Sister doesn’t know. These days, Xiao He has been working particularly hard and has already become familiar with the servants at home.”

Zhao Yan also felt gratified. “Yes, Young Master He even spent the morning pruning trees in the garden with the gardeners! He learns so fast!”

Mei Shu was suddenly surprised.

She hadn’t expected Xiao He to recover so quickly from his illness. It seemed that the doctor recommended by Lu Si was indeed reliable. When she had time, she really needed to prepare a generous gift and properly thank him.

Thinking like this, she pulled Mei He to sit beside her, “Since everyone is here today, there’s something 1 want to discuss with you.”

The brothers all sat down at the dining table, paying close attention to her.

Mei Shu said, “I want each of you to start learning about managing the company to some extent. Xiao Feng doesn’t need to be mentioned; he’s the eldest one besides me and should have started gaining experience long ago. But besides him, 1 also hope Xiao Jing, Xiao He, and Yanyan can start getting involved in some company affairs to some extent.”

“Sister, is something big happening?” Mei Yan asked with some concern as he held her hand.

Mei Shu shook her head. “Not yet, but the company belongs to each of us after all. Learning how to manage it can’t hurt.”

“Can I go to work at the company tomorrow, Sister? Since I’m on vacation now, there’s nothing for me to do at home anyway!” Mei Jing took the initiative to suggest this time.

Mei Shu nodded without hesitation. “It’s great that you think like that. 1 was afraid you’d feel like this would cut into your rest time. After all, you won’t have time to hang out with your friends!”

Mei Jing shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s not like I’ll achieve anything by fooling around outside. It’s better to learn some skills with you, Sister. After all, I’m a man, and I can’t always rely on Sister for money in the future!”

“That’s the right attitude. 1 can feel at ease.” Mei Shu affectionately patted his head.

Mei Feng remained silent on the side, looking pensive.

Mei Shu noticed his worried gaze and gently smiled, “Xiao Feng, if you have any thoughts, feel free to speak up.”

“Oh, it’s nothing!” Mei Feng instantly came back to his senses and quickly denied, “Sister is right. I can also learn some things from Sister in the company.”

“That’s great.”

Mei Shu smiled and withdrew her gaze, no longer discussing what had just happened.

She was just afraid that Mei Feng would ask her why she insisted on doing this.

In the end, she was still afraid.

If one day she chose to sacrifice herself for her brothers, someone in the Mei family had to be able to stand up and support Mei Corporation; otherwise, it would inevitably fall into the hands of Mei Mu sooner or later.

Zhao Yan’s words just now served as a reminder to her. Even if she moved out of that house, she couldn’t completely escape from those who could threaten her and her brothers at any time. They needed to be prepared in advance.

After dinner, the siblings strolled and chatted in the yard.

Suddenly, there were some noises at the gate, catching their attention.

Mei Shu recognized the voice as that of their supposed grandmother. The smile on her lips instantly disappeared.

“What is she here for? Sister, I don’t want to see her!” Mei Yan also heard it and grabbed Mei Shu’s arm, pouting and refusing to let the old woman in..
