Mei Shu still caught their words.

While greeting Kang Lan with a smile, she glanced at Ye Yan from the corner of her eye.

As Ye Yan approached, Mei Shu happened to take a small step aside, just avoiding his attempt to put his hand on her shoulder.

“Is there something?”

Mei Shu looked at him expressionlessly.

With her remark, others also turned their attention to them.

Ye Yan smiled awkwardly, “Ms. Mei, it’s a misunderstanding. I noticed a piece of lint on your shoulder and wanted to help remove it.”

Mei Shu glanced and indeed found a small piece of lint on her suit. She had to admire Ye Yan’s keen observation. Otherwise, she didn’t know what kind of excuse he would have made for himself.

“Thank you.” Mei Shu removed the lint herself and continued to stare at Ye Yan, as if she were discarding not lint but Ye Yan, the rubbish.

Ye Yan noticed her disdain but shrugged indifferently. “It seems Ms. Mei and 1 aren’t familiar yet. Otherwise, why would you need to thank me for such a trivial matter?”

“Um, Mr. Ye.” Kang Lan, after observing for a while, couldn’t help interrupting, “We’re discussing business matters here, and we hope Mr. Ye can temporarily step aside.”

As a senior to Ye Yan, his tone, although not very polite, was already quite good.

Ye Yan obediently said, “Sure, I’ll wait over there. When Ms. Mei is free, we can talk privately. 1 also have a good business opportunity to introduce to you.”

Without waiting for Mei Shu’s response, he walked over to a nearby chair and leisurely sipped on low-alcohol red wine.

Kang Lan frowned and whispered to Mei Shu, “Be careful with him. He’s not a good person. It’s best not to do business with the Ye family.”

“I understand, thank you, Uncle Kang,” Mei Shu replied gratefully.

Kang Lan still seemed a bit uneasy and kept talking to Mei Shu about various things, leaving Ye Yan waiting foolishly on the side.

After they had finished saying everything they could, the dinner was about to end.

Kang Lan turned around to find Ye Yan still idling on the side.

He quickly grabbed Mei Shu’s wrist and kindly suggested, “Why don’t you take my car? I’ll take you home. It’s not much trouble.”

“I’m fine, Uncle Kang. You go first. Don’t worry, 1 won’t agree to anything he says,” Mei Shu assured, reluctantly seeing off Kang Lan who was still worried about her.

Mei Shu took out her phone to reply to a message from Lu Si and then saw Ye Yan smiling behind her.

“Ms. Mei, are you finally done now? How about going for supper together? I know a good place that might suit your taste,” Ye Yan suggested.

Mei Shu hesitated, “No, my younger brother is waiting for me at home. I have to leave.”

“Don’t rush to leave.” Ye Yan held her hand for a moment before quickly letting go, looking apologetic. “Just a supper won’t take much of your time. I promise I’ll personally drive you home afterward.”

Mei Shu shook her head again, “It’s too late. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ye, but maybe another time. If there’s an opportunity in the future, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

At this point, any other person would have understood and retreated.

But Ye Yan clearly didn’t know how to spell the word “retreat.”

He pouted aggrievedly and deliberately stood in front of Mei Shu. “I’ve been waiting for you for more than an hour. Are you going to let me rejoice in vain?”

Mei Shu felt a headache coming on and, with a furrowed brow, exhausted her last bit of patience. “It’s too late today. If 1 don’t go back now, my brothers will worry.”

As if intentionally confirming her words,

Mei Shu’s phone rang.

She checked it and saw that it was a call from Mei Feng.

As soon as she answered, Mei Feng’s anxious voice came through the receiver, “Sis, are you done? Xiao Jing got into a fight, and the other party called the police. I’m rushing over there now.”

Upon hearing this, Mei Shu immediately asked, “Where are you?”

Mei Feng provided an address.

Mei Shu hurriedly hung up the phone and said, “Sorry, Mr. Ye, it looks like we really can’t go today. My brother is in trouble, and 1 need to go see him.”

“I’ll go with you,” Ye Yan offered without hesitation.

Mei Shu felt that this person was very difficult to deal with. In addition, she was indeed very anxious since her brother was in trouble. She couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, so she tacitly allowed him to take the initiative to get into her car.

The driver quickly arrived at the police station following Mei Shu’s instructions.

As soon as they got out of the car, they heard several loud voices arguing at the entrance.

Mei Jing’s voice was especially loud.

“You can say whatever you want, but bullying a girl is nothing to be proud of! You guys are just lacking education. From now on, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”

“Mei Jing!” Mei Feng’s exasperated voice followed closely behind.

Mei Jing still angrily exclaimed, ‘Brother, don’t stop me. These idiots deserve a beating. I’m going to beat them up now. Help me compensate for them later..”
