Mei Shu smiled and reassured, “Mr. Zhao, you must have been worried about me too. Don’t worry; I’m fine.”

“Oh, that’s good!” Zhao Yan didn’t think much of it. He took Mei Shu’s coat and was about to send it to the laundry room for cleaning.

Wang Yue timely stepped in and snatched the coat from him. “Shu’er, where did you go today? Your coat is covered in so much dust! Girls shouldn’t be so naughty. Your dad is really worried about you!”

She deliberately showed the dusty corner of the coat to Mei Yun.

Mei Yun’s brows furrowed as he asked, “Shu’er, did you spend the evening with Master Si? Where did you both go?”

Mei Shu sat on the sofa, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip before responding, “We went to eat at Itai Club.”

Mei Yun’s eyes lit up, and he even put his legs down from where they were crossed, unable to contain his excitement. “Itai Club? Master Si took you there for dinner? Shu’er, your relationship with Master Si must be quite good now, right?”

“It’s okay.” Mei Shu set down her tea cup and glanced suspiciously at Wang Yue. “What’s going on with Aunt Wang? Why has she been holding onto my coat? Is something wrong?”

Her words immediately aroused Mei Yun’s suspicion.

He also looked at Wang Yue questioningly, saying, “What’s going on? Quickly let Mr. Zhao take Shu’er’s coat to the laundry room. Remember to disinfect it properly.”

Zhao Yan agreed and reached out to take the coat, but Wang Yue avoided him.

With a gentle smile, she said, “Let me do it. Shu’er, next time, please be more careful when you go out. I hope this dust isn’t from the Itai Club, right? 1 don’t mean to pry into your affairs; it’s your freedom. 1 just want you to stay safe and not make your dad worry.”

She said these words in a warm and kind tone, as if she were a caring and compassionate stepmother. However, Mei Shu understood her underlying message.

Wang Yue appeared to be concerned for her and looked out for her, but in reality, she was subtly reminding Mei Yun that she was lying. Mei Shu hadn’t really been to Itai Club; she had been somewhere else, which was why her coat had these marks that didn’t belong to a high-end club.

Mei Yun could also sense the hidden message in Wang Yue’s words. Therefore, the legs he had just relaxed crossed back together, and he asked, “Shu’er, as I mentioned on the phone, why didn’t Master Si come in with you? Didn’t I suggest you invite him in?”

“He dropped me off at the door,” Mei Shu replied. She even took out a trimmed lily flower from her pocket and said, “This is the gift he gave me.”

“He gave you flowers?” Mei Yun asked in surprise.

For a while, the father and daughter’s conversation revolved around Lu Si.

Wang Yue watched from the sidelines. She suddenly had a bigger plan.

She temporarily put aside what had happened tonight and decided to wait for a more suitable time to escalate the situation.

After all, who were the Lu family?

Once Lu Si found out that Mei Shu had been defiled by several men tonight, he would definitely want nothing to do with such a tainted woman.

Her daughter couldn’t marry into the Lu family, and Mei Shu could forget about climbing the social ladder too!

Alone, she went to the laundry room, took out her phone, and discreetly took pictures of Mei Shu’s coat as evidence. Then, she stepped onto the balcony and sent a text message to Yellow Hair.

However, several calls to Yellow Hair went unanswered.

She was irritated but was convinced that her instructions for tonight had been carried out successfully!

Those men had probably enjoyed themselves and fallen asleep long ago!

With this thought in mind, Wang Yue sent another message, instructing Yellow Hair to contact her as soon as he woke up.

She needed to obtain evidence of Mei Shu’s defilement before she made the remaining payment.

Upstairs.

Mei Yan was diligently working on his homework, but he abruptly stopped when he heard the door open. He immediately put down his pencil and dashed to the person who had entered. “Sister, why did you only come back now? 1 missed you so much, Sister!”

Mei Shu smiled and tapped his nose. “When did you become so clingy to your sister? Have you been studying well?”

“Of course!” Mei Yan smiled and held her hand, leading her to the desk. He pointed at the freshly completed homework and said, “Sister, would you like to check it? I’ve worked really hard on it!”

“Sure.” Mei Shu picked up the homework and began to check it earnestly.

Mei Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but swallow hard. “Sister, since Mom passed away, it’s been a long time since someone cared about me like this.”

Mei Shu sighed and lowered her gaze. She patted his head and said, “With me here, I’ll take good care of you.”

“Great! When I grow up, I’ll protect Sister!” Mei Yan leaned against her shoulder, smiling. Suddenly, he remembered something and sat up straight. With a serious expression, he said, “Sister, when you weren’t home earlier, a man in a suit came looking for you. I told him you weren’t here, and he left!”

Upon hearing this, Mei Shu was momentarily stunned but then smiled.

She had wondered how she had bumped into Jiang He and Lu Si so coincidentally on her way.. It turned out that this little guy had unintentionally revealed her whereabouts!
