As the call was made, the noisy living room gradually fell silent.
The cold and mechanical female voice reminded him that the other party’s phone had been switched off.
Mei Mu was stunned. Her eyes flickered as she thought of a terrifying possibility.
“Oh, Missy is back!” Butler Zhao left Mei Mu and the elderly lady behind and quickly led his men to welcome her. Seeing Chu Rui coming in behind Mei Shu, he smiled respectfully and said, “This must be Missy’s good friend. Please come in.”
“You must be Butler Zhao. My name is Chu Rui. I often heard Shu’er mention you and say that you treat her very well.” Chu Rui politely handed over the gift he had prepared earlier.
Although it was just some fruits and snacks and didn’t cost much, it was still a token of his appreciation.
Butler Zhao was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. “Missy also mentioned to me that she was often taken care of by you when she was with you. Please come in. You are an honored guest today. If you need anything, just call me.”
“Thank you, Butler Zhao.”
Chu Rui changed into his shoes behind Mei Shu. When he walked into the living room, he was slightly stunned to see the old woman and the girl on the sofa.
Butler Zhao hurriedly introduced to him, “This is Missy’s grandmother, the old lady of our Mei family. This is…”
Mei Mu took the initiative to introduce herself, “I am Mei Mu. You are my sister’s friend, so you are also my friend. Please sit down.”
“Okay.” It was Chu Rui’s first time here. He didn’t expect an elder to be at home. He immediately became a little reserved. After sitting down, he rubbed his hands and said nervously, “Hello, Grandma. I didn’t know you were at home. How about I go buy a little gift for you now?”
The elderly lady snorted and was about to say something sarcastic when she looked up and saw Mei Shu staring at her gloomily.
The taunting remarks that were on the tip of her tongue suddenly couldn’t be spoken!
The old lady, irritated by her own momentary weakness, frowned and said in an unpleasant tone, “Since you came empty-handed, that’s your own business.
1 won’t nitpick. After all, you were brought back by Mei Shu, and it’s not my reputation at stake if you make a fool of yourself.”
Chu Rui’s face turned even redder. He jumped up from the sofa almost immediately. “I’ll buy it now!”
Mei Shu quickly intercepted and said, “Don’t mind her. I’m already happy that you came to see me specifically. Come, let me take you to the dining room. My brothers are really looking forward to meeting you.”
Hearing her words, Chu Rui felt much better.
He smiled apologetically at the elderly lady and then quickly followed Mei Shu to the restaurant.
“Uncle Zhao, call Xiao Feng and the others down.” Mei Shu found a random seat and asked Chu Rui to sit beside her. “You don’t have to be so nervous. This is my home. Even if you bring something to her, I won’t let her really accept it.” “But she is your grandmother after all.” Chu Rui could tell that Mei Shu and the elderly lady were not on good terms, but he didn’t think too much about it. He just thought that Mei Shu didn’t grow up at home and wasn’t close to the elderly lady.
Mei Shu smiled and didn’t intend to explain further. She asked the nanny to pour him a cup of hot tea. “I’ll take you around after dinner. You’re leaving tomorrow. I had been too busy to accompany you these days.”
“It’s okay. It’s my fault this time. I shouldn’t have come uninvited. I’ll inform you in advance next time. Anyway, we already have each other’s contact information now.” As Chu Rui spoke, he waved his phone.
Mei Shu smiled from the bottom of her heart. “Yes, it will be very convenient for us to contact each other in the future. By the way, you haven’t told me who asked you to come to No.i High School to find me. I have to thank this person. Otherwise, I’m afraid I will lose contact with you. I don’t know how long it will take for us to meet.”
Chu Rui frowned and said vaguely, “Actually, I found out about you myself. I didn’t say it before because I was afraid that you would mind. Don’t ask anymore. Anyway, the result is good now.”
Mei Shu nodded thoughtfully. He knew very well that Lu Yan must have secretly contacted Chu Rui behind his back, hoping that Lu Si would retreat. Thinking of Lu Yan, Mei Shu felt a headache. She simply changed the topic and said, “After this year’s college entrance examination, I will go to the capital to attend university. Then we will be close.”
“Then we can meet often!” Chu Rui’s eyes were full of joy.
Although he came to Lin City in a hurry this time, fortunately, he could see that Mei Shu was living a good life and had received such good news. Even though he had missed several days of classes, Chu Rui still felt it was worth it.
Hasty footsteps soon sounded on the stairs.
Sure enough, Mei Yan was the first to rush over and greet Chu Rui. The little guy was very friendly. Seeing Chu Rui, who was much older than him, he seemed to see his real brother.
“Are you the boy who grew up with my sister? Thank you for taking care of my sister.. You will be my brother from now on! Don’t stand on ceremony with us!”
