Chapter 48: Skilled at Soothing Children
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Alright, then bring your young master over.”
Mei Shu planned it well.
Since her rebirth, she had been busy with soothing children. If she could obtain system rewards simply by soothing children, Mei Shu was more than willing to do it.
Seeing her readily agreeing, Jiang He let out a long sigh of relief and gestured to Jiang Hai behind him.
Jiang Hai immediately waved behind him, and an obviously expensive sedan stopped in front of Mei Shu.
Mei Shu became slightly wary and took a step back, creating a safe distance between herself and them.
Jiang He noticed her caution and reassured her with a smile, “Miss, please don’t worry. We have no ill intentions. We are extremely grateful to you for helping us, and we haven’t even expressed our gratitude properly.”
Just as he finished speaking, the car door slowly opened, and an annoyingly noisy and grating voice suddenly came from inside the car.
“I want Sister! You guys are bad people! Let me out, I want Sister!”
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Mei Shu couldn’t believe it, but the next second, she curiously leaned forward and looked into the car. When her eyes met the familiar and profound gaze, her face immediately lit up with joy.
“Xiao Bao, it’s really you!”
“Sister!” The man didn’t make a fuss this time, but pushed away the man restraining him and excitedly jumped out of the car, hugging Mei Shu directly. “Sister! Why did you leave Xiao Bao alone last time? Xiao Bao was scared. Sister, don’t leave me!”
“Well, I didn’t leave you.” Mei Shu sighed and couldn’t help patting his head.
Although the man standing in front of her was a head taller than her and dressed in a mature and well-fitted elegant suit, his mental age was only a few years old.
Mei Shu didn’t see him as an adult man at all, but instead felt a bit of tenderness when facing him.
“Sister, I want candy!” The man nudged his head against her palm.
Mei Shu couldn’t help but giggle at his puppy-like adorable appearance. She took out a lollipop from her bag and unwrapped it, placing it in his mouth.
While he was enjoying the candy, with his eyes narrowed into slits from the sweetness, Mei Shu suddenly remembered that his guardian was watching nearby. She wondered if her action of feeding him without permission would displease his family.
With that thought in mind, Mei Shu apologized to Jiang He with a serious expression.
Jiang He scratched his head and smiled sincerely, “Miss, please don’t be so polite. We arc already extremely grateful to you for helping us.”
Mei Shu nodded slightly and began to size up the people in front of her again.
When Xiao Bao appeared in her villa area last time, Mei Shu suspected that his family background must be very good, but she didn’t expect his family to be so wealthy.
Although she didn’t know much about cars, she could tell that the value of the car behind her far exceeded any car in the Mei family.
In other words, Xiao Bao’s family conditions should be even better than the Mei family!
Mei Shu sighed and said, “I’ve taken care of this child twice already. I see that your family has quite a few bodyguards. Next time, make sure to keep a closer watch. It’s not a joke if someone with malicious intent takes him away.”
Xiao Bao was well-dressed, clearly from a wealthy family, and his intelligence was still at a child’s level. If he were deceived and kidnapped by bad people for ransom, it would only add more shadows to Xiao Bao’s heart.
Upon hearing this, Jiang He could only smile helplessly and nod.
But Master Si was not a real fool. How could they be able to keep him under control just because they wanted to!
However, Jiang He naturally wouldn’t explain this to Mei Shu.
Since the goal had been achieved, Jiang He and Jiang Hai together held onto Lu Si and tried to force him into the car.
Of course, Lu Si refused to cooperate. He hugged Mei Shu’s hand with a mournful expression and wouldn’t let go. “Sister, Xiao Bao doesn’t want to be separated from you. Xiao Bao won’t go with them! They are all bad people!” “Master… Stop making trouble. It’s getting late, and we should go back!” Jiang He spoke in a gentle tone, but his actions were not gentle at all.
In the past, whenever Master Si had an episode, they would forcefully take him back to the Lu family. This time was no exception.
Mei Shu furrowed her eyebrows, feeling the strength in her wrist that was exclusive to men becoming increasingly stronger. If she didn’t stop him now, this man might accidentally break her bones.
Helpless, Mei Shu had no choice but to interrupt their actions and interfere, “You’ll only make the patient more resistant by doing this. Let me handle it.” Jiang He immediately released the pressure in his grip as if he had been waiting for Mei Shu’s words. He even let out a sigh of relief. “Then we’ll trouble Miss.”
With no one forcing him to leave, Lu Si clung to Mei Shu like a plaster, resting his chin on top of her head and wrapping his arms around her waist, intimate as if they were a couple in a passionate relationship.
If it were someone else, Mei Shu would definitely kick the person away without hesitation, suspecting that this person was taking advantage of her.
But the words spoken by Lu Si didn’t give her the slightest misconception.
“Sister, can you tell Xiao Bao a story, and Xiao Bao will sleep well, okay?”
