Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Mu reluctantly suppressed the anger on her face and instead half-raised her wrist, showing a pitiful expression, “Sister, 1 didn’t intend to hit you. You really misunderstood me. You are my sister, how could I dare to lay a hand on you? Besides, I’ve been in Lin City for so many years. Has anyone ever heard that 1 am someone who likes to fight?”

She said this with confidence.

She had never confronted anyone face to face. She always stabbed people in the back and pretended to be gentle and kind on the surface.

Mei Shu was somewhat accustomed to Mei Mu’s feigned pitiful appearance, so she didn’t feel as disgusted as she did when she first saw her.

Now she calmly retorted, “But I like fighting with people. I have plenty of strength that 1 can’t use up. If you dare to provoke me, you’ll face the consequences.”

After saying this, Mei Shu turned around and released the fish back into the pond. She clapped her hands and looked at Zhou Liang, “They’re back to you now, Mr. Zhou. You’d better take a good look to see if there’s any problem with your fish. If you confirm there isn’t, then any problem with your fish in the future will have nothing to do with me.”

Zhou Liang glanced into the pond with a bitter smile, confirming that the three rare fish were indeed swimming happily. He relaxed slightly, “Miss Mei Shu, you’re just joking. You are our guest. Even if you insist on taking the fish, I wouldn’t dare to refuse.”

Lu Si stood calmly behind Mei Shu and supported her, “Mr. Zhou, if everything is settled, we’ll take our leave.”

Zhou Liang hurriedly offered to see them off. However, halfway through, Lu Si suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly, looking back, “By the way, ATiss Mei Shu is my friend. I hope that in any future gatherings involving her, there won’t be anyone she dislikes present.”

Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment but quickly understood. He repeatedly nodded, “Master Si, I’ll remember that.”

Lu Si finally smiled and left with his entourage.

However, at this moment, Mei Mu and Wang Yue had turned pale and had no trace of color in their faces.

Who exactly was that person?

Zhou Liang submitted to him and obeyed his every command, and now he even asked them to avoid Mei Shu in any future gatherings.

Who gave him such power?

Mei Mu and Wang Yue were not qualified to attend events with Lu Si around. Moreover, Lu Si had just returned from the capital, so there were many business people who had not seen him in person.

Zhang Jiao didn’t know Lu Si’s identity, but seeing Zhou Liang’s attitude, he could tell that this person was not someone to be messed with.

Unexpectedly, the young miss from the Mei family was able to befriend such a formidable person. Zhang Jiao began to look at her with newfound admiration.

On the other hand, Mei Mu had tried to oppress Mei Shu with the help of her mother, but she ended up being thoroughly humiliated. She was clearly foolish and incapable.

But the more a woman was like this, the more Zhang Jiao liked her.

He enjoyed the feeling of controlling people in the palm of his hand. Mei Mu perfectly satisfied his twisted mind. Therefore, even though he knew Mei Mu had offended someone she shouldn’t have, he still approached her with gentle words, “Miss Second, 1 know you have been wronged today. If you don’t mind, how about I take you for a drive nearby to relax?”

After experiencing such an incident, Mei Mu no longer had the mood to continue with the banquet. Moreover, she was really upset now, so without much thought, she agreed.

Wang Yue knew that Zhang Jiao was not someone they could offend, so she tactfully suggested that she would go home on her own and let Zhang Jiao send Mei Mu back after they finished their affairs.

Zhang Jiao perfectly played the role of a considerate and caring gentleman, promising to personally send Mei Mu back home before dinner.

This gave Wang Yue a little comfort after she suffered this setback.

Although the banquet at the Zhou family had been completely ruined by Mei Shu, being able to win over Zhang Jiao was a little payback for their efforts.

After Wang Yue left, Zhang Jiao took Mei Mu to the seaside.

The summer in Lin City was scorching, but only the seaside had a refreshing breeze all year round, as if it could instantly dispel the gloom in people’s hearts.

As Mei Mu got out of the car, her expression relaxed for a rare moment.

Zhang Jiao quietly followed behind her, and seeing her mood ease, he tried to inquire, “Your mother said your sister returned from the countryside. What does that mean?”

Hearing Mei Shu being mentioned, Mei Mu felt uncomfortable. However, facing Zhang Jiao, she habitually put on a mask of grievance, “My sister used to have a hot temper, so my father sent her to the countryside for recuperation. She was only recently brought back home. Who knows her condition didn’t really improve? Today, she even attacked me. But she is my sister, and 1 won’t truly hate her.”

Zhang Jiao didn’t comment and tentatively asked, “Miss Second, with your gentle and kind nature, there should be many boys pursuing you at school. Do you have someone you like?”

Mei Mu didn’t expect Zhang Jiao to ask such a question just a few days after they met. Her face turned red in shyness, “I’m about to take the college entrance examination. I want to focus on my studies for now, and I’m not thinking about anything else..”
