Chapter 679: Fell for Her

“I didn’t think of anything.” Jiang Hai’s voice, when he spoke, was unexpectedly hoarse.

Jiang He paused for a moment, then his expression turned terrifying. “You’re not falling for Miss Mei, are you? You’re out of your mind! She’s the one Master Si likes!”

Jiang Hai was slightly taken aback.

In that moment, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat inexplicably, his pupils contracting, feeling as if someone had grabbed his throat tightly.

This was followed by a sense of panic.

He quickly lowered his head, letting his hair cover the emotions swirling in his eyes, his throat hoarse and dry. “I don’t… 1 don’t like Miss Mei.”

“That’s for the best!” Jiang He looked him up and down suspiciously, didn’t notice anything unusual, and temporarily relaxed. He resumed his carefree attitude. “Alright, let’s go back and help Master Si with his work. You’ve been absent all afternoon, and we’re already behind on a lot of things.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Hai silently followed behind him, seemingly calm, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.

Because in the instant when Jiang He asked that question, there was already a voice in his heart giving a silent affirmative answer.

This left him feeling somewhat at a loss.

He shouldn’t like Mei Shu.

She was a girl he could only silently respect and protect in the name of Lu Si.

But sometimes, emotions were beyond control.

By the time he realized it, his feelings were like turbulent waves, unstoppable.

“Jiang Hai? Are you even listening to me?” Jiang He waved his hand in front of him and shoved a pile of documents into his hands. “Stop daydreaming. We have a lot of work to do. If we don’t finish it tonight, we won’t get any sleep. Master Si hasn’t rested for days. 1 need to remind him to take care of his health.”

In the past few days, in order to go to Wendith to reunite with Mei Shu as soon as possible, Lu Si had barely slept, working overtime every day. Just as they were about to finish things on that end, trouble arose on this end. They had been rushing around, and even the most resilient person couldn’t keep going like this.

Jiang Hai smiled bitterly, took the documents, and quietly went to a corner to look through them.

Compared to what he could do for Lu Si, what he could do for Mei Shu was really too little. How could he dare to hope that one day he could stand shoulder to shoulder with her?

On the other side, Mei Shu finished dealing with everything and went home.

This incident caused considerable uproar, so many cooperating merchants called to test the waters.

Mei Shu’s phone hadn’t stopped ringing all the way until she got home, finally quieting down when she arrived.

However, even in just that short time away, she felt utterly exhausted.

Tang Mei, feeling somewhat worried, insisted on seeing her home before leaving.

Mei Feng and the others received the news and had been waiting at the door. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mei Shu. “Sister, everything’s fine with the company, right? How did your investigation in Wendith go? Did you get hurt?”

“I’m fine,” Mei Shu followed her brothers inside the house, then seemed to shed all her armor, lazily sinking into the plush sofa, refusing to get up.

Mei Feng noticed and asked Butler Zhao to make some hot tea. Then he sat on the sofa, letting Mei Shu rest her head on his leg, massaging her head for her.

Mei Shu closed her eyes comfortably, smiling like a lazy cat basking in the afternoon sun. “It’s so nice to have brothers who care. I’ve been running around these days and dealing with those despicable people. I’m really exhausted.” “Sister, 1 can help massage your legs too!” Mei Yan imitated Mei Feng’s actions, putting Mei Shu’s legs on his own and using his fists to massage them.

Mei Jing was at a loss, sitting beside them with nothing to do. After careful consideration, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went to fetch a fan, squatting down beside her and fanning her.

Mei Shu pushed away his hand with a smile. “Alright, people who don’t know any better might think I like bullying my brothers at home! You don’t have to worry about me. 1’11 just lie down for a while. Is dinner ready?”

“It’s ready. You can have dinner anytime, Missy.” Butler Zhao smiled and watched beside them.

After stealing a glance at the boys’ faces, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. “Miss, the master has been discharged from the hospital and is now staying at the old house. The old Madam is also there. 1 heard they had a big argument about you moving house without permission. Do you want to go and see them when you have time?”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow, then remembered her father who had been hospitalized all this time. She closed her eyes and said slowly, “If he wants to see me, he’ll come on his own. There’s no need to go see him in particular.” “Understood.”

After hearing her response, Butler Zhao didn’t insist any further.

He could understand Miss Mei’s feelings very well.

If it weren’t for Mei Yun giving birth to an illegitimate daughter with another woman, and causing Mei Shu’s mother to be killed, she wouldn’t have been sent to suffer in the countryside, and her brothers wouldn’t have almost been led astray by others.

The culprits behind all of this were Mei Yun and the old Madam.

It was perfectly understandable that Miss didn’t want to have any contact with them.

Mei Yan, after hearing this, snorted dissatisfiedly, “Why did Uncle Zhao bring them up for no reason? Although Wang Yue, that b*tch, has already met her end, that old woman, who instigated Wang Yue behind the scenes, is still alive and well.. Of course, our mother’s death has to be counted against her too!”
