The servant simply kept his head down, meekly refusing, “I only listen to Miss Mei’s orders. Miss Mei didn’t ask me to escort you, so I won’t act without authorization.”
“You! You all want to drive me crazy!” the elderly lady glared fiercely in the direction of the dining room.
But by now, inside the dining room, the atmosphere was lively.
Zhao Yan efficiently led people to clean up the broken porcelain on the floor, preventing Mei Shu and the others from getting injured later.
After they finished, Mei Shu invited them to sit down together.
Today, the kitchen had prepared their favorite dishes for Mei Feng’s birthday banquet, which were now laid out on the table, emitting a delicious aroma.
Mei Feng was still a bit uneasy and glanced secretly towards the living room, “Sis, is everything really okay?”
“It’s fine, don’t worry.” With that, Mei Shu personally placed a birthday hat on him.
Mei Yan also regained his spirits and inserted the candles into the cake, shouting, “Brother, let’s all sing the birthday song together, and then you can make a wish!”
“Alright.” Seeing their enthusiasm, Mei Feng didn’t want to dampen their spirits. Putting aside his lingering doubts, he sat at the table, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes to make a wish.
Mei Shu and the others joyfully sang the birthday song for him.
As the song ended, Mei Feng made his wish, blew out all the candles in one breath, and then picked up the knife to cut the cake.
Mei Yan quickly came over, “Big brother, 1 want the piece of cake with Mei Jing’s statue carved on it!”
“Sure!” Mei Feng smiled and cut him a small piece.
Mei Yan took it happily and swaggered over to Mei Jing, showing off, “See, I’m going to eat you later! See how you’ll bully me then!”
Mei Jing threatened him by waving his fist, “Just you wait! I’ll eat the piece with your statue!”
“Hey, Xiao Jing, you’re too late. Yanyan’s piece has already been cut by me.” Mei Shu taunted him.
Mei Jing immediately turned into a cute puppy, pleading with her, “Sis, can you give me that piece, please, sis?”
Mei Shu swatted away his hand wrinkling her sleeve, “No, this piece is for Xiao He.”
Upon hearing it was for Mei He, Mei Jing instantly lost his temper, feeling even a little excited, “Then 1’11 take it to Xiao He now!”
With the commotion in the dining room earlier, coupled with the presence of the old lady outside, Mei Shu and the others didn’t dare to call Mei He downstairs rashly, for fear of scaring him.
After Mei Jing left, the old lady immediately called Mei Mu.
How could such a good day go without bringing her precious granddaughter along?
She couldn’t stand Mei Shu and the others being so happy.
Unfortunately, this call would never be answered.
Mei Mu’s phone was currently locked in a drawer in Mei Shu’s room. How could he receive her call?
After dialing for a while, the old lady hung up the phone irritably, muttered something under her breath, then left with the packaged porcelain.
She was afraid of that lunatic Mei Shu!
These items were her assets. If her son became unreliable in the future, she could sell them for money. But if Mei Shu smashed them, what would she do?
As soon as the old lady left, a servant came in to inform Mei Feng.
After hearing it, Mei Feng hesitated, “Sis, although that old lady is not to be feared, we’ve seriously offended Feng Wei and Mei Cheng. You must be careful in the future. If there’s anything you can’t handle at the company, you can tell me. 1 will definitely come to help you.”
Hearing this, Mei Shu felt warm in her heart. Even though Mei Feng was taller than her now, she couldn’t help but reach out and touch his head.
Mei Feng was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head to let her touch, so she wouldn’t get tired holding her arm up.
Mei Shu contentedly said, “Don’t worry about that. 1 have ways to deal with them. What’s most important for you, Xiao Jing, and Yanyan now is to study well. In the future, the company will be run by us siblings together.”
The relationship among the Mei siblings was harmonious, and there was no possibility of power struggles like in other families.
Furthermore, Mei Shu never intended to monopolize all the power, completely excluding her younger brothers.
Of course, Mei Feng didn’t think Mei Shu deliberately kept him out of company affairs.
Instead, he felt that his sister chose to shoulder everything alone for their sake.
He felt very sorry for Mei Shu’s current hardships.
While they were having this conversation, Mei Jing, for the first time ever, managed to persuade Mei He to come downstairs and join in the fun.
The siblings surrounded Mei He, making a ruckus until late at night before they each returned to their rooms to rest.
Mei He visibly became more lively, sometimes even joining their conversations in a low voice.
Mei Feng saw all of this and felt warm in his heart.
Since their mother passed away, they hadn’t had a decent birthday celebration.
But the precious warmth they could have now was all because Mei Shu could become a towering tree, supporting them all.
Mei Feng silently vowed in his heart that in the future, he would also become someone like his sister who could protect Yanyan and Xiao Jing..
