Chapter 780: The Truth

Editor: Henyee Translations

After Liu Yue left, Mei Shu immediately called Lu Si and told him about the situation.

Lu Si remained silent for a long time after hearing her account.

Mei Shu felt worried. Although they had speculated before that Lu Si’s parents’ death might be related to Su Ling, it was only speculation. Now that their suspicions were confirmed, Lu Si’s mood was sure to fluctuate.

“Alt Si…” Mei Shu wanted to say something comforting, but for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

“Mm,” Lu Si responded coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

“Are you getting off work soon? Should I come to the company to pick you up?” Mei Shu’s tone was softer than usual.

This kind of tone was reminiscent of how she used to address Lu Si’s alter ego.

Lu Si sighed softly. His parents’ death was a fact he couldn’t change. What he could do now was uncover the truth and bring the culprit to justice.

Admittedly, he was affected by what Mei Shu had just said, but he couldn’t allow himself to remain immersed in grief. It would only worry those around him.

“I’ll be leaving soon. You don’t need to come. I’ll be back shortly, and we can have dinner together,” Lu Si spoke again, his tone returning to normal, devoid of any emotion.

Lu Si had been very busy these past few days and hadn’t come back for dinner. The servants had only prepared Mei Shu’s portion of food.

Mei Shu informed the servants that Lu Si would be coming home for dinner tonight as well.

When Lu Si returned, Mei Shu was on the phone.

It was Tang Mei calling, saying she had recovered and wanted to return to work at the company.

Mei Shu didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she first asked Jiang He, who confirmed that Tang Mei had indeed recovered well.

Mei Shu knew Tang Mei was anxious and couldn’t rest properly at home, so she agreed to let her return to work. However, she could only work half-days for the time being.

After bargaining for a while, they finally reached an agreement.

If anyone else heard, their jaws would probably drop. They had never seen such a boss and employee relationship before. The employee wanted to go to work, and the boss wanted them to rest at home. It seemed like the roles were reversed.

Although Mei Shu was on the phone, she had sensed it when Lu Si returned. She instructed Tang Mei to prioritize her health first before hanging up.

“Alt Si, I think Liu Yue’s conditions are worth considering, but since he’s made such a request, I think we should first find out what he’s done before,” Mei Shu slowly walked up to Lu Si.

Since yesterday, Lu Si had agreed that Mei Shu could walk around. However, he still had to make a call in half an hour to tell her to rest more and walk slowly.

On the way back just now, Lu Si had also been thinking all the way. Suddenly knowing the truth was indeed unsettling.

Seeing Mei Shu’s worried look, he couldn’t help but smile inwardly.

“Let’s eat first. We can discuss it after dinner,” Lu Si walked over and lifted her up.

“Alt?!” Mei Shu exclaimed and grabbed onto his neck.

Mei Shu was confused. “You’ve been investigating for so many years, and now…”

Lu Si interrupted her with a smile, “There’s no rush. We already have a lead. Let’s eat first. Mei Feng told me that you often get too busy to eat at the company?”

“No, that’s not true. I eat on time every day,” Mei Shu said, lowering her eyes.

Lu Si chuckled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I didn’t care before, but from now on, I’ll video call you at meal times to watch you eat.”

Mei Shu:

Mei Shu was at a loss for words. “Please don’t. I promise to eat on time from nowon. Being watched while eating will give me indigestion.”

This time, Lu Si didn’t argue with her. He agreed readily, saying, “Okay, from now on, I’ll come to your company at lunchtime to have lunch with you.”

Lu Si had said they would eat first, and he truly focused on eating. He didn’t mention the matter at all, and every time Mei Shu tried to bring it up, he interrupted her.

After dinner, the two of them went straight to the study.

Even though they hadn’t received the recording yet, Mei Shu still detailed everything she had heard in the recording to Lu Si.

“I want to talk to Liu Yue in person,” Lu Si said after listening to the whole process of his parents being plotted against by Su Ling. He found it somewhat absurd; his mother probably didn’t even know she was being set up by her sister before she died. She probably just thought she was unlucky to encounter a crazed beast.

Others were the same. When they heard about it, they just thought Lu Si’s parents were unlucky to encounter such a thing.

Mei Shu nodded. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
