Chapter 527: Beauty with a Kind Heart

Mei Shu certainly couldn’t tell him about their past lives, so she casually lied, “Because I have a kind heart.”
Lu Si:”…”
This time he was blind. He really didn’t expect Mei Shu to be so forgiving.
Mei Shu walked silently to the door of the old lady’s hospital room, suddenly recalling the scene when she met Shen Yuan here last time.
At that time, she had given Shen Yuan a choice, wanting to force her to see reason.
If Shen Yuan could have given up at that time without implicating innocent people, Mei Shu would have been willing to help her and then cut ties with her forever, considering it as repaying the kindness from their past lives.
Unfortunately, Shen Yuan didn’t understand this. At that time, all she cared about was the benefits tied to Lu Si.
But what Mei Shu didn’t say back then was that regardless of Shen Yuan’s final choice, she would never vent her anger on an innocent old person.
Although this old lady had once slandered her for stealing from the Shen family in front of everyone.
“Do you want to go in and see?” Lu Si asked as he noticed Mei Shu standing at the door lost in thought. He gently waved his hand in front of her eyes and glanced into the ward. “The nurse isn’t inside. You can go in now and feel at ease.”
“What do I have to worry about? She’s not my real grandmother.” Mei Shu paused for a moment, then added, “If it were my real grandmother lying in there, I’d probably be so happy I’d open a bottle of champagne to celebrate right away.”
Lu Si had long known about the injustices Mei Shu faced at home and said helplessly, “Now that you’re the CEO of the Mei family, those who used to look down on you should have restrained themselves.”
“I hope so,” Mei Shu said, not believing that those people would really behave themselves.
She pushed open the door to the ward, and even though she moved as lightly as possible, the door still made a soft sound.
The old lady lying on the bed, struggling to breathe, heard the noise and slowly turned her head to look.
Mei Shu walked openly to the bedside, watching as the dimness in the old lady’s eyes gradually turned into joy. “Mei Shu.”
The old lady struggled to lift her right hand, still connected to an IV drip, but couldn’t touch even a corner of Mei Shu’s clothes. A tear slowly rolled down her eye.
Mei Shu took a step back, her face expressionless. “Greetings and apologies are unnecessary. This is the last time I’ll see you. If you can safely return to the Shen family, I’ll return the hairpin to you, and we’ll be even.”
“Mei Shu, I lied. Forgive me.”
The old lady’s voice was weak, her breath hindered by the oxygen mask, her pale hand gradually losing strength, as if she had exhausted all her energy.
Mei Shu looked away, her tightly clenched jaw moving slightly as she spoke in a distant and cold tone, “I said, there’s no need to apologize. If there’s anything, I’ll settle the score with Shen Yuan. The doctor has arranged for your surgery. Just focus on recovering.”
“Mei Shu, don’t go.” The old lady reached out towards Mei Shu’s increasingly distant figure, exerting all her strength but unable to grasp anything, only able to watch as Mei Shu’s figure was gradually swallowed by the closing door.
“You’re right, you’re indeed very kind.”
After leaving the ward, Lu Si sincerely praised her.
Mei Shu glanced at him unkindly. “Are you mocking me?”
“I’m telling the truth,” Lu Si said. “If it were me, I wouldn’t let any member of the Shen family off, but you didn’t stand idly by.”
Mei Shu said calmly, “Don’t think too highly of me. I’ll get this money back from the Shen family in the future. I’m just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. I’m just doing her a favor.”
Lu Si chuckled helplessly, about to follow her into the elevator and go downstairs together, when suddenly several familiar bodyguards walked briskly towards them at the entrance of the emergency exit.
“Master Si, Miss Mei, Master Lu requests your presence. Please come back with us.”
“No time.” Mei Shu didn’t bother with niceties, directly refusing.
It was clear that she harbored no good feelings toward Lu Ting, who liked to act on his own and was domineering.
The bodyguards lowered their heads slightly, showing great respect. “Miss Mei, this is Master Lu’s order. Master Lu said that he has connections with the Chen family, Yu family, and Kang Wei. If you don’t go, the businesses of these families will probably collapse.”
She hadn’t found a chance to settle accounts with him yet, and now he dared to come and threaten her face to face?
Mei Shu’s anger rose rapidly, and her eyes shot daggers at them. “I can’t go. I need to take his grandson to the neurology department first.”
The bodyguards looked at Master Si with a uniform expression of fear. Just as they thought Master Si would erupt in anger, they unexpectedly saw him looking at Mei Shu with a gaze as gentle as water.
The bodyguards felt they couldn’t look directly at this scene and bowed their heads again, even more submissively than before. “Miss Mei, please don’t make things difficult for us. We can’t disobey Master Lu’s orders.”
“Yes, Miss Mei, please take Master Si with us. Otherwise, we’ll definitely be punished! Please, please cooperate with us. We’re begging you..”
