“Grandma, is there something you’ve forgotten?” Mei Shu said casually, “That hairpin wasn’t stolen by me. You gave it to me willingly to express your gratitude for saving your life.”
The old lady’s face turned pale, and she seemed hesitant.
Mei Shu sarcastically remarked, “It’s one thing to deceive others with those words, but how did you manage to deceive yourself?”
The elderly lady clenched her fists on her lap and said hesitantly, “I said these words for your own good. You can’t beat Yuanyuan. Give up on Lu Si as soon as possible. It’s good for both you and the Mei family.”
“It seems like you’re quite familiar with Lu Si’s grandfather?” Mei Shu ignored her words and turned the conversation to another matter.
Her topic changed too quickly for the old lady to catch up. Without much thought, she quickly answered, “Yes, when I was young, my husband and 1 were good friends with Lu Ting.”
“How much do you know about Lu Si, then?” Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and asked.
The old lady choked for a moment, then said after a while, “When Lu Si was young, I often took him out to play. I naturally know many things about him.” “Do you know what his temper and character are like as he grew up?” Mei Shu continued to ask with a good-natured tone.
The old lady knew what Mei Shu wanted to say. She sighed and said, “You still think Lu Si would defy his grandfather’s order for you?”
“No, it seems like you really don’t understand him.” Mei Shu stood up, using her last bit of patience to advise, “In my opinion, you and Shen Yuan should be the ones to back off. Look at the dignitaries attending this banquet. They are all here for Lu Si himself, not because of his grandfather. What I want to say is, what you two did today has offended Lu Si badly. Do you think he won’t retaliate against you?”
Lu Si’s current status in Lin City had nothing to do with being his grandfather’s biological grandson.
Shen Yuan dared to scheme against Mei Shu; she truly underestimated Lu Si’s capabilities and was too naive.
It took a while for the old lady to recover after Mei Shu left.
Shen Yuan did not get ideal answers from Zhou Guo, and her face was not good. She returned in a somewhat anxious mood.
Staring at Mei Shu, who was smiling and talking, the old lady felt that this girl, who appeared so pure and gentle during their first meeting, now seemed to have revealed a sharp edge.
“Yuanyuan.” After struggling for a long time, the old lady finally spoke.
Shen Yuan responded impatiently. After waiting for a long time without hearing anything more, she raised her eyes and looked at her grandmother with impatience, “What do you want to say?”
With difficulty, the old lady said, “Shouldn’t we publicly clarify that the theft just now was a misunderstanding? We shouldn’t harm an innocent person for our own interests.”
“Grandma, what are you talking about?” Shen Yuan cautiously glanced around at the people.
Now the two of them were the focus of the crowd. Every word and action could be noticed by someone with ill intentions.
How could she speak the truth at this time?
Feeling Shen Yuan’s impatience, the old lady closed her mouth and sighed deeply, “I think today’s matter won’t stir up trouble. Let’s go back first.”
“No way!” Shen Yuan gritted her teeth and said, “If we leave like this now, wouldn’t it tell everyone that 1, the legitimate fiancee, can’t compete with a mistress? I absolutely can’t leave like this. Even if things don’t escalate today, I still want to sit here and remind everyone that 1 am Lu Si’s legitimate fiancee!”
Seeing that she couldn’t persuade her, the old lady stood up to leave by herself.
Shen Yuan hurriedly took her hand and said, “Granny, why are you throwing a tantrum at me? You promised us before we came. You’re already involved in this matter! Don’t forget, the future of the Shen family depends on whether we can firmly grasp the Lu family!”
The elderly lady said unhappily, “Aren’t you afraid that Lu Si will take revenge on our Shen family in the future?”
Shen Yuan was puzzled. “Why should he take revenge on us? As long as 1 become his fiancee, the lifeline of our Shen family will be tied to the Lu family. If he wants to take revenge on me, he has to consider whether Grandpa Lu agrees or not!”
The elderly lady still felt flustered.
Mei Shu’s words kept revolving in her mind, making the blood on her face quickly fade, and her heart began to feel a little uncomfortable.
Shen Yuan saw the elderly lady’s abnormality and quickly helped her sit down. She asked solemnly, “When 1 wasn’t around just now, did Mei Shu come to you? Did she say something to you? Did she threaten you?”
The elderly lady panted heavily and shook her head. “No, she didn’t threaten me. She just told me that we don’t know Lu Si well enough. Once Lu Si escapes the shackles of his Grandpa in the future, he will definitely not let us go!” “How dare she speak so arrogantly!” Shen Yuan narrowed her eyes. Seeing that her grandmother’s expression was getting more and more strange, she immediately had a plan and suddenly shouted in the crowd, “Grandma, what’s wrong with you? 1 just left for a while.. Why do you suddenly have a heart attack? Who made you so angry when 1 wasn’t around?”
