Chapter 247: Blood Relation

However, early the next morning, Mei Shu experienced what it meant for someone’s mood to change as quickly as flipping a book.

Last night, Miss Sheng had promised to allow her to continue her investigation, but after just one night, Miss Sheng reneged on her word and refused to let her investigate further.

Mei Shu reluctantly tried to soften her stance. “Can I just take a quick look? Just one glance?”

“No!” Sheng Nian opened her arms and blocked Mei Shu’s way firmly. “The study is a restricted area for the Sheng family. You can’t enter casually. Besides, there are people coming and going here. If any of the servants see you and tell my father, you might get into big trouble!”

“I just want to look at one of the bookshelves. How about you come in with me?” Mei Shu compromised, her tone somewhat pleading.

Sheng Nian was resolute in her refusal. “No, you can investigate other places, but the study is off-limits. There may not even be what you’re looking for here, but there are definitely Sheng Corporation’s secrets.”

“Alright,” Mei Shu finally gave in completely, shoulders slumped, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

In reality, she only wanted to take a look at the bookshelf she had noticed yesterday. She had a feeling that Sheng Quan was particularly concerned about one of the bookshelves. She hadn’t had a chance to investigate further before returning to Sheng Nian’s bedroom.

Early in the morning, Sheng Quan had already gone to the company, so Sheng Nian dared to let Mei Shu out.

What she was guarding against was Sheng Quan asking about Mei Shu’s identity. Once her father found out that the friend she had slept with last night was from the Mei family, he would probably be extremely angry and become alert ahead of time.

After a hearty breakfast at the Sheng residence, Mei Shu prepared to leave.

Sheng Nian had the driver take her to school.

While waiting for the car, Mei Shu playfully ran her fingers through Sheng Nian’s hair, putting her hand in her school uniform pocket before Sheng Nian could react. She then waved to Sheng Nian with a flirting expression. “I’m off, Miss Sheng. Remember to think of me!”

“You’re still so young, and you’ve already learned such smooth talk!” Sheng Nian said this way, but she couldn’t hide the amusement in her eyes. It was clear to anyone that she genuinely liked Mei Shu’s personality.

If it weren’t for what had happened before, the two of them might have become great friends.

But…

Mei Shu forcefully tore her gaze away from Sheng Nian’s smile and got into the car with a cold expression. She instinctively reached into her pocket to touch the object she had put there.

The matter she was currently investigating might bring about a drastic change in Sheng Nian’s life, and Sheng Nian might end up resenting her or even hating her for it. They would never be able to be friends without any reservations again.

Mei Shu could only silently pray that the situation wouldn’t be as embarrassing as she had imagined.

The driver dropped her off at the school gate. After watching the car drive away, she turned around and left the school, getting into another car parked on the side of the road.

As soon as she sat in the car, Mei Shu felt a rush of cold air, making her shiver involuntarily.

“Miss Mei, here’s your breakfast,” Jiang He turned around from the front seat, holding a soy milk and some dumplings.

“Thank you, but I’ve already eaten. You can have it,” Mei Shu declined, raising her hand. “Take me to the hospital.”

“This was specifically bought for you by Master Si,” Jiang He hesitated a bit. “If

I eat it, please don’t tell Master Si.”

“Don’t worry,” Mei Shu smiled, assuring him. She also took out her phone and sent a thank-you message to the man who always kept her in mind, even when he was busy.

Jiang He relaxed and took the opportunity to enjoy the dumplings he had been craving for a long time. “Alright, with your assurance, I’m not afraid of anything. Master Si has already arranged it for you. If you go now, you’ll get the results today.”

Mei Shu nodded and said, “Have you obtained the sample from Lu Ming’s side?”

“Don’t worry,” Jiang He picked up a sealed bag from the side and proudly showed it to her. “Last night, this guy had too much to drink and went to a nightclub. It was too easy to get close to him.”

“Let’s go,” Mei Shu said, her expression now serious, her eyes full of anticipation for what was about to be confirmed.

The Lu family’s influence had already reached various industries, and as long as Lu Si spoke up, no one would refuse to cooperate with him.

Even a place like the hospital was no exception.

It was said that Lu Si had also donated a lot of medical equipment to this hospital, which was why the hospital director had promised to expedite the DNA test.

The DNA test center usually required five days to complete the test, but it had been shortened to just two hours for Mei Shu.

“Miss Mei, we have the results,” Jiang He rushed over, holding a few thin sheets of paper.

Mei Shu, inattentively, stood up from her chair and accepted the papers. “1 hope it’s not what I’m thinking.”

“But you’re bound to be disappointed,” Jiang He said with a deep frown. “The test results show that they share a half-sibling relationship through their father. This is outrageous! Miss Mei, should we inform Miss Sheng of this immediately?”

“No,” Mei Shu suddenly felt a sense of dizziness, and her body almost couldn’t stand. If Jiang He hadn’t supported her in time, she might have fainted on the spot. “Not for now. I have my own plans for this matter..”
