However, Lu Ting clearly didn’t believe it. “Did you just say in front of me that you agreed to marry Shen Yuan? Was that just to appease me?”
“How could it be?” Lu Si smiled sincerely. “I will definitely fulfill what I promised to you. Now, can you sit down and let me arrange the matter of bringing Shen Yuan back?”
Lu Ting, still doubtful, was assisted to sit on the sofa by him. He waved his hand, instructing someone to fetch Lu Si’s phone.
He witnessed Lu Si making just one phone call and easily handling a certain leader at the police station, ensuring that Shen Yuan would be safely sent back to the Lu family by this evening.
“All right, Grandpa, now you can rest assured.” Lu Si willingly handed over the phone. However, before handing it over, he sneakily glanced at the photos of Mei Shu stored in the phone’s gallery.
He had not seen Mei Shu for many days, and he missed her dearly.
If he had known that such a day would come, he should have had Jiang He print out all the pictures of Mei Shu and plaster them all over the study.
Lu Ting still hesitated a bit. He knew Lu Si’s temperament too well.
This kid was stubborn; how could he compromise so easily?
But now, he seemed unusually obedient.
“Your engagement ceremony with Shen Yuan will be held the day after tomorrow.” Lu Ting, to avoid unnecessary worries, issued a final ultimatum.
Lu Si readily agreed. “No problem. When Shen Yuan comes back, I can have someone take her to try on wedding dresses.”
“Very well.” Lu Ting was finally satisfied, but he still remained cautious of Lu Si. He personally assigned someone to keep an eye on him as he returned to the study in the villa, and the villa itself was surrounded by guards, making it impenetrable even to mosquitoes.
Back in his territory, Lu Si finally spared a glance for Jiang He, who had turned his face into the color of an eggplant. “1 know what you want to ask.”
Jiang He suddenly exhaled like a deflated balloon, looking aggrieved and pitiful. “Master Si, are you really going to be engaged to her tomorrow? What about Miss Mei? The old master has probably already invited guests to the engagement ceremony. Miss Mei will definitely know about it.”
“I want her to know.” A gleam of anticipation flashed in Lu Si’s eyes.
“Huh?” Jiang He asked in confusion, “Aren’t you afraid that Miss Mei will really get angry and never want to see you again?”
“No, she will definitely come.” Lu Si blew on the hot tea handed to him by Jiang He, absentmindedly rubbing the warm rim of the cup with his fingertips. “By then, 1 can see her.”
Mei Corporation.
Tang Mei rushed into the office in a hurry. Before catching her breath, she began to report on the movements of the police station. “1 heard that Shen Yuan was only asked a few questions after entering the police station, and then she was sent back to the Lu family!”
Mei Shu, who was writing, paused for a moment, casually nodding. “It’s expected.”
“Expected?” Tang Mei looked at her boss who seemed uninterested, feeling a surge of powerlessness. “President Kang just said that he received an invitation personally distributed by Lu Ting. It’s an engagement ceremony for Master Si and Shen Yuan the day after tomorrow!”
“So fast.” Mei Shu finally showed some emotional fluctuations this time, but it wasn’t the anger that Tang Mei had imagined. Instead, there was a hint of anticipation and tenderness?
Did she see it correctly?
At this time, Mei Shu could still smile?
“Yes! The day after tomorrow, Mr. Si will publicly and formally engage with Shen Yuan! Miss Mei, should we thoroughly investigate all the relevant personnel in the police station responsible for this case? They must have used some unsavory means behind the scenes!”
“I know, but I trust Zhou Guo. He became the captain of the criminal investigation team five years ago and has worked diligently, solving numerous major cases. He’s a very good veteran detective.”
“But he is from the Zhou family! His niece is Zhou Li!” Tang Mei had to remind Mei Shu cautiously, although it made her appear a bit alarmist.
“I know, but he won’t play favorites. I believe that.”
With that, Mei Shu pushed the half-meter-tall folders on the corner of the table in front of Tang Mei. “Distribute these and arrange for a car. 1 want to meet CEO Yu.”
“This is the last piece of bad news 1 want to tell you.” Tang Mei murmured helplessly, “Shen Yuan just came out of the police station and went to a teahouse to meet Mr. Yu. They have signed the contract, and like the contract we signed with Kangwei, it’s also for five years.”
“Then we still need to go there.” Mei Shu put on her coat and headed out. She showed no surprise on her face, as if everything was within her expectations.
Even Tang Mei, who had been working with Mei Shu, was a bit confused. It was like how she couldn’t understand how that scoundrel who bullied a high school girl could voluntarily go to the police station to confess overnight.
For Shen Yuan, today was indeed a day of ups and downs.
But fortunately, the outcome was good.
Lu Si was finally forced to compromise. Regardless of whether he genuinely wanted to marry her or not, as long as she secured the position of Mrs. Lu, the Shen family would undoubtedly prosper in the future.
After signing the contract with Mr. Yu, she was sent to the styling team by Lu Si’s people.
Looking at herself wearing exquisite makeup in the mirror, Shen Yuan revealed a smile of certainty..
