Chapter 554: Warned Him

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I’m fine.” Mei Shu let go of his hand, stepped around him, and stood in front of Ye Yan. “Listen, what you’re doing is nothing but a desperate move that hurts both sides. I’m not interested in meddling in your affairs, but considering you said we’re quite similar, I’ll give you some advice. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you.”

“What?” Ye Yan instantly softened his demeanor in front of Mei Shu, appearing as obedient as a sheep that had been wronged.

Lu Si, standing behind them, watched with reddened eyes that were about to burst into flames at any moment.

Mei Shu continued, “Instead of willingly falling into depravity, it’s better to make good use of everything you have at hand, snatch away everything that originally belonged to them, including what belonged to those people.”

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Ye Xiao and the others.

For a moment, turbulent emotions flickered in Ye Yan’s eyes, and miraculously, he calmed down.

While he was still dazed, Mei Shu, expressionless, directly pulled Lu Si away.

She had no personal connection to Ye Yan. Being patient enough to say more to him was already her conscience speaking for the day. Anything beyond that, she wouldn’t bother with.

It was Ye Yan’s own business and had nothing to do with her.

Once they were in the car, Lu Si’s obscure gaze fell gently on her. “Shu’er, you seem to have a good impression of that idiot?”

“Not at all,” Mei Shu said. “On the contrary, I dislike his entanglement.”

“Then why did you still say those things to him?” Lu Si relentlessly pressed for an explanation.

Although he understood that Mei Shu couldn’t possibly have any good feelings for Ye Yan, he still wanted to hear her explain it herself.

After hearing Lu Si’s question, Mei Shu’s deep gaze slowly turned to the window. After a long while and under Lu Si’s urging, she slowly said, “Actually, he and I are quite similar.”

“What?” Lu Si didn’t quite catch it and asked as he grabbed her hand.

Mei Shu shook her head and turned to look at him seriously. In a way that he would find more acceptable, she said, “It’s because he bothers us during our dates, so 1 said those things to him. I just wanted to give him something to do, shift his attention. I still don’t want anyone to disturb our time alone.”

Lu Si felt comfortable hearing her explanation and couldn’t help but lean in, holding her face in his hands, and said gently, “Shu’er, I also want to be with you every day. How about we get engaged right away?”

Mei Shu disdainfully rolled her eyes at him, pushed away his hand, and said, “Dream on. Don’t forget, your grandfather still has a bet with me!”

Lu Si turned his head away in frustration, his voice muffled, “Don’t worry, Grandpa will eventually see how good you are. Even if he doesn’t, I won’t give up.”

“I know.” Mei Shu smiled and patted his head, feeling somehow like she was comforting a sulking big dog. Unable to resist, she even touched his smooth hair a bit more. “I don’t know when we’ll meet again.”

“You don’t want to part with me?” Lu Si allowed her hand to mess up his hair without a hint of annoyance. Instead, he kept his eager smile, his eyes sparkling with a bright light.

“Uh-huh.” Mei Shu replied sullenly, seeming somewhat unaccustomed to being so frank about her feelings with someone.

But just this simple affirmative answer made Lu Si feel like he had found a treasure.

He decisively said, “Then 1’11 come see you tomorrow. Wait for me at the company, and 1’11 come over to have lunch with you.”

“Sure.” Mei Shu didn’t refuse.

She did want to see Lu Si more often. If she didn’t get a good look at his nation-ruining face, it would be a real pity!

On the way back, Mei Shu leaned against the passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest, but thoughts of her past life kept flashing through her mind.

On careful consideration, she wasn’t really a proper young lady of the Mei family back then. She was more like an outsider, no matter how hard she tried to please, she could never truly integrate into a seemingly happy family.

After her mother’s death, she blamed herself for everything and was ultimately ruined by Mei Mu and Wang Yue’s mother-daughter scheme.

It was only by heaven’s grace that she was given a chance to repent, to become sober, and know what she should really do.

But Ye Yan didn’t have this luck.

She had read Ye Yan’s life through the system.

In fact, Ye Yan was also a pitiful person.

His mother was a woman kept by Ye Shang outside the family. In order to obtain a status, she resorted to threats of suicide, but in the end, she lost her precious life.

Admittedly, her mother’s actions were a bit extreme, but the little Ye Yan was completely innocent.

After his mother’s death, he was brought back to the family by Ye Shang and lived a life full of disdain and bullying.

He carefully planned and schemed, tried to please, and step by step, he worked for his own interests, finally achieving his current position.

The reason Mei Shu warned him was that she didn’t want him to end up in the same tragedy as herself in her past life..
