Mei Shu thought for a moment and remembered the Brother Yuan that Mei Jing had mentioned. The other party’s family had always been doing business in the underworld. Because he had some strength in the underworld, the boys in their adolescence who admired strength liked to follow behind him and hang out with him.

Looking at her younger brother and Cao Wu, who had not grown up yet but were fighting over a girl, Mei Shu shook her head speechlessly.

Mei Shu took a few steps forward and stood between the two groups. She said to Cao Wu, “Third Young Master Cao, I’m Mei Shu, Mei Jing’s elder sister. As a third party, I’ll say a few words of justice. If you think it makes sense, can we end this matter here?”

Cao Wu snorted coldly. “Who do you think you are?! Why should I listen to you?!”

Mei Jing looked at Mei Shu and said impatiently, “I’ll settle my own matters. Why should I listen to you!”

The two of them were both young and impetuous. They didn’t like others to discipline them. Seeing that Mei Shu wanted to lecture them, they opposed Mei Shu together.

Mei Shu sighed softly and picked up the wooden stick on the ground. “Since you chose to engage in combat today, it shows that you all acknowledge that the one with the stronger fists is the stronger one.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a wooden stick as thick as an arm was broken into two by Mei Shu.

“If anyone still feels unconvinced now, you are welcome to come and fight!”

Mei Shu’s expression was calm as she gently patted the sawdust off her hand, as if she had just broken a toothpick.

The grove was silent. They were competitive and loved to fight, but they were not brainless. It would be even more embarrassing if Mei Shu beat the hell out of them. Anyway, no one was saying anything now. No one could say the others were cowards. When they left the grove later, everyone would just “delete” this part of memory.

Mei Shu glanced at everyone in satisfaction. She wanted to quickly calm these children down and have a good talk with them. Indeed, it was best to suppress them with force. The first step to handling the matter was to clear the area.

Then, Mei Shu said indifferently, “Then it seems that I have the right to speak now. The people involved can stay. The others, stop watching the fun and leave.”

Mei Shu was calm and composed, but no one dared to underestimate her.

When both sides retreated ten meters away.

Mei Shu first looked at Cao Wu’s ordinary face and somewhat understood that girl’s choice. After all, most people liked pretty faces. Mei Jing’s face was really not attractive to women.

Mei Shu asked Mei Jing, “Did you know that girl before?”

Mei Jing shook his head. “She bought me water last time I played basketball in her school. She said her name was Li something. I didn’t remember. I left without taking her water! The second time was last week when she came to the school gate to look for me. I’ve already rejected her explicitly. I don’t even have time for qualifying matches. How can I have time to play those love games with her?”

Hearing Mei Jing’s complaining tone, Cao Wu felt even more stifled. The girl he had been chasing for a month had rejected him and turned around to chase after someone else.

Mei Shu thought for a moment and said tactfully, “Third Young Master Cao, you heard what Mei Jing said. I won’t be biased. Mei Jing has indeed not done anything wrong.”

“However, this is also a good thing for you, Third Young Master Cao.”

Cao Wu pursed his lips and was a little unconvinced. “Good thing?! Miss Mei, aren’t you being a little too biased?”

Mei Shu spoke patiently like a kind and understanding big sister, “Everyone has different standards when choosing a boyfriend or girlfriend. Some people value appearance, while others place more importance on spiritual compatibility. Mei Shu’s appearance this time is like a trial stone, which helps you avoid trouble in advance. It’s better than investing your emotions and then having the other person break up with you.”

Having said all the nice words, seeing that Cao Wu still had a somewhat unhappy expression, Mei Shu said directly, “In the end, this was originally your and that girl’s business. I believe you can verify the truth of what Mei Jing said. He didn’t initiate anything, and he has rejected what he should have rejected. He’s just a passerby.

Although Cao Wu still felt aggrieved, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Mei Jing. He looked at the injury on Mei Jing’s face and said, “Bror, I’m sorry!”

Mei Jing waved his hand coolly. “It’s alright. It’s fine as long as we clear the misunderstanding.”

Sometimes the reasons why guys fought were really strange. Even though it was just a small matter, it seemed like they couldn’t sit down and talk without fighting first.

Mei Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Don’t act impulsively when you encounter problems. Calm down and investigate first. Then, talk to the person involved in a proper manner. Fighting can’t solve any problems!”

After the matter was resolved, they returned to their respective homes.
