As they were talking, Lu Yan’s phone suddenly rang.

Mei Shu moved a bit away and quietly started reviewing vocabulary.

Lu Yan didn’t intend to hide anything from her and answered the call from his younger uncle right in front of her.

“You’re talking about the welcome party at the Fu family?”

After hearing that his uncle wanted him to attend the banquet on his behalf, Lu Yan subconsciously glanced at Mei Shu’s expression. Seeing that she was still immersed in memorizing words, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Uncle, I won’t go to the party. You should find someone else to attend in your place.”

“No, you must go.”

Lu Si insisted on the other end of the phone. “You not only have to go in my place but also bring Mei Shu along.”

“Why?” Lu Yan was shocked to learn that his uncle knew Mei Shu!

And why did he want him to bring Mei Shu along?

Could it be that his uncle wanted to meet Mei Shu through this occasion?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Yan’s mind in an instant, but he couldn’t grasp anything solid. Even after his uncle finished giving instructions and hung up the phone, he remained stunned for a while.

“What’s wrong?” Mei Shu noticed his strange expression. Just as she finished memorizing a set of words, she closed her book and looked at him in surprise.

“Nothing.” Lu Yan quickly pushed away his confusion and hesitated, “There’s a welcome party at the Fu family this weekend. I heard that the Mei family has also been invited. Will you go?”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and thought of the girl from earlier. She shook her head with little interest, “Last weekend, my welcome banquet already took up a lot of study time. I’d rather stay home and study, and besides, Mei Mu will handle the banquet.”

Lu Yan guessed she would say that and quickly became a bit anxious. “How about treating it as a way to relax? Will you accompany me to the party?”

A puzzled look appeared on Mei Shu’s face. “Does this party require everyone to have a female partner?”

“Of course not,” Lu Yan decisively shook his head. “I just want you to come with me, so we can handle any unexpected situations together…”

Lu Yan already found it hard to continue making up excuses.

He didn’t want to deceive Mei Shu, but his uncle had strictly ordered him not to reveal any information earlier. He could only come up with a random excuse.

As expected, when he saw the doubtful look on Mei Shu’s face, he knew she wouldn’t br easily deceived.

Just when he couldn’t help but want to be honest and ask for leniency, Mei Shu suddenly had an epiphany and clapped her hands. “I understand! Are you worried that Uncle Qin will arrange an engagement between you and Miss Fu at the party, so you want to use me as a shield?”

Lu Yan was momentarily stunned but then happily nodded, “Yes! That’s the reason. You’ve seen through it, Mei Shu. You’re really sharp!”

Mei Shu felt a bit pleased with herself and readily agreed, “Okay, but let’s make it clear: You can only use me as a shield and not make me play any other roles!” “Deal!” Lu Yan smiled and nodded, but his heart was already looking forward to the upcoming party.

They chatted a bit more before returning to their classrooms.

As soon as she entered the classroom, the oppressive atmosphere surrounded Mei Shu.

The class monitor, Chen Hao, desperately tried to signal her.

Mei Shu saw it, but she didn’t care. She went to her seat, but instead of sitting down, she casually grabbed a girl who had been eagerly anticipating the drama.

The girl was about to enjoy the show when she was surprised to find Mei Shu grabbing her arm.

Before the girl could react, Mei Shu, as strong as an ox, pulled her to sit on Mei Shu’s chair.

The girl didn’t even have time to rub her sore wrist before she suddenly remembered something and her face turned dark.

Mei Shu crossed her arms and looked on with amusement. “What’s wrong? Did you sit in the wrong seat? Just get up, and it’ll be fine.”

The girl desperately signaled to the people around her, hoping to find someone to help, but at this moment, everyone was still shocked by the violent tug Mei Shu had just made, and no one dared to speak first.

With no one to turn to for help, the girl couldn’t stand up because she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to stand up after sitting for too long. So, she took a deep breath, tried to stand up straight, but the next second, the chair hit the desk behind her, causing her to lose her balance and awkwardly sit back down.

Mei Shu sneered, “Why aren’t you getting up? Did someone glue my seat in advance?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the class was too scared to breathe.

They didn’t expect Mei Shu to have such an imposing manner.

Mei Mu was infuriated and immediately thought that someone must have tipped off Mei Shu; otherwise, how could she have known in advance that her seat had been tampered with?

However, what she didn’t know was that this time, nobody informed Mei Shu.

The reason was simple: no one in the class had Mei Shu’s contact information. The class monitor did want to tell Mei Shu about this, but before he could, Mei Shu had already returned from outside.

The girl who was glued to the chair burst into tears and desperately looked towards Mei Mu, seeking help from her..
