Mei Shu turned her head slightly to look at the slender hand on her shoulder and smiled faintly. “Zhou Li, what’s up?”

“Can we talk? 1 have something to say to you.” These past few days, Zhou Li had been hesitating to speak whenever she saw Mei Shu.

Feeling uncomfortable under her stare, Mei Shu nodded and said, “Where do you want to go?”

“Follow me.” Zhou Li walked ahead, leading Mei Shu to the rooftop.

It was here that Li Hua played the recording of Mei Mu for Mei Shu.

Unexpectedly, this time she was here with Zhou Li.

“What’s the matter? Speak up,” Mei Shu said, gazing calmly at Zhou Li from a distance.

Zhou Li pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Are you in a romantic relationship with… Lu Yan’s cousin?”

Mei Shu raised his eyebrows and said, “You think Lu Si and 1 are in a relationship, so you haven’t dealt with me recently, right?”

Being exposed by her, Zhou Li instantly raised her head and said, “Yes or no?”

Mei Shu sarcastically smiled and said, “Whether it is or not, what does it matter to you?”

Zhou Li was angered by her attitude and blurted out, “If you and Lu Yan’s cousin are in that kind of relationship, then we might become family in the future. I’m willing to be friends with you from now on, but if not, we can never be friends.”

She could tell just how well Lu Yan treated Mei Shu.

It was enough to make Zhou Li jealous.

So, if Mei Shu was entangled with Lu Yan’s cousin while still trying to pursue Lu Yan, then they would be rivals.

From now on, she wouldn’t show any mercy towards Mei Shu!

Mei Shu looked as if she had already anticipated that Zhou Li would say something like this. She shrugged indifferently and said, “Friends? Zhou Li, I’m not so desperate for friends. We can never be friends.”

“Why?” Zhou Li asked, frowning.

She had already taken the initiative to befriend her, so why was Mei Shu still so ungrateful!

“I haven’t forgotten the means you used on me before,” Mei Shu said coldly and distantly. “I hate people who resort to these underhanded tactics, so I will never be friends with someone like you.”

“If not friends, then we can only be enemies!” Zhou Li glared at her fiercely. “Alright, this is what you said. Don’t regret it!”

“Why would I regret it?” Mei Shu looked at her calmly, shrugged, and said, “I’m leaving.”

“You!” Zhou Li couldn’t believe her ears, and she wanted to catch up to Mei Shu. But then she thought about what Mei Shu had just said and forcibly stopped herself.

Lu Si timed Jiang He’s arrival at the school gate perfectly.

When Mei Shu came out, she saw the familiar black car.

Jiang He smiled and came to greet her. “Miss Mei, Master Si invites you to get in the car.”

Mei Shu was getting used to Lu Si’s ways, so she didn’t think too much and directly got into the back seat.

On the man’s knee was a laptop, and there was a steaming cup of coffee on the small table to his left. When he heard the door opening, he moved his hands away from the keyboard and turned his eyes towards her. “Hi.”

Mei Shu nodded in response. “Do you have something to discuss, Master Si?”

“Mhmm.” Lu Si raised his head slightly, gesturing to Jiang He.

Jiang He immediately understood and handed her a bank card from the front seat. “This is the fee for taking care of Master Si last night. Master Si said you took care of him last night, so he added an extra two hundred thousand more than originally agreed upon.”

Two hundred thousand for spending a night in her bed?

It sounded quite lucrative.

Mei Shu glanced at him and saw the man smiling while looking at her. She lightly hooked her lips, took the bank card, and said, “Thank you, Master Si, for keeping your word. You can come find me again next time.”

After that, she was about to open the car door and leave.

Unexpectedly, Lu Si called her back, “Have you forgotten what you promised me?”

Mei Shu was surprised and asked, “What?”

The corners of Lu Si’s mouth, which had been slightly raised, suddenly dropped. “Think about it carefully.”

As he spoke, he lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, seemingly urging her.

Mei Shu glanced at him and suddenly realized, “You want me to treat you to a meal, I remember.”

“Then let’s go now.” Lu Si made a decision right away and instructed Jiang He, “Drive.”

Mei Shu didn’t expect this man to be so domineering!

However, she was indeed hungry and thought it would be nice to clear the debt of gratitude sooner. So, she didn’t raise any objections.

Mei Shu leaned back comfortably in the back seat and tilted her head to look outside at the crowded crowd. The sunlight shining through the window cast a layer of golden light on her profile, making her look exceptionally gentle and charming.

However, Lu Si was well aware that the girl’s character was not as gentle and refined as she appeared on the surface.

On the contrary, she had a born fierceness within her.

But she was also particularly sympathetic and kind towards the weak, making her a girl with clear likes and dislikes.

Perhaps it was this personality that attracted Lu Si to continuously interact with her, get to know her, and see many sides of her that others didn’t know about..
