But Tang’s mother and Tang Long, who had just witnessed this scene, didn’t seem to care at all.

Tang Mei smiled self-deprecatingly, “Alright, thank you for today.”

“Don’t say much, get in the car,” Jiang He opened the car door for her.

Tang Mei silently got in, and Liu Yue sat down next to her without hesitation.

In the hospital room.

Mei Shu had been anxiously waiting for news on her phone, only feeling relieved when Jiang He replied that everything was settled.

If it weren’t for her injured leg, she would have personally gone there.

It had only been an hour since Mei Jing arrived at the hospital, but he had already devoured most of the snacks Jiang He bought for Mei Shu and showed no signs of stopping.

Mei Shu rolled her eyes at him with some disdain, “1 should’ve just let Yanyan come to accompany me.”

Mei Jing swallowed what was in his mouth, “Yanyan was picked up by Grandpa Lu next door, and Big Brother is holding down the fort at the company for you. Originally, they wanted to come together, but they were afraid of disturbing you, so they let me, the idle one, come alone.”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow at him, “So why are you so idle? School is starting soon. Have you finished your homework?”

Mei Jing hurriedly pulled out a stack of test papers from his bag by his feet, “I knew you would ask, so I’ve prepared everything. Sister, if you need anything, just call me. Before Big Brother comes to relieve me, I won’t go anywhere, I’ll just stay here, do my homework, and keep you company.”

Mei Shu sighed and looked at the blue sky outside, feeling a longing in her heart, “I used to think life was too busy and always wanted a chance to rest, but now that I’m resting, I feel bored and have nothing to do.”

Mei Jing grinned, “Actually, it would be great to lie down every day without worrying about money! Sister, you’re just too strict with yourself!”

“If I don’t work hard to earn money, how can 1 afford to feed a glutton like you?” Mei Shu flicked his forehead with a smile, “By the way, has the online news about our family affected you guys?”

“Sister, please don’t think like that!” Mei Jing disagreed, “We’re family, and naturally, we share each other’s fortunes and misfortunes. You don’t need to worry about us like that. We have our own ways to protect ourselves, I mean it! I’m about to start high school, so I’m not that useless!”

Mei Shu couldn’t help but smile at his teasing, “If Tang Mei had brothers as good as you guys, she wouldn’t have to go through this.”

“Sister! I can’t promise for others, but 1 will never betray you, hurt you, or disappoint you!” Mei Jing assured her, patting his chest.

Mei Shu was very relieved, “In that case, can you promise to rank in the top three in your class in the next exam and not disappoint me?”

Mei Jing stepped back cautiously as if facing a formidable enemy, “Sister! Why are you taking advantage of me like this!”

Mei Shu chuckled at his antics, “You said it yourself just now. Why, are you already thinking of backing out?”

Mei Jing looked conflicted and in pain. “Sister, why don’t you change your expectations? For example, I definitely won’t cause trouble for you in the second half of the year?”

Mei Shu, speechless, smirked and directly grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, “You still dare to claim you’re an adult? Look at yourself, where do you look like an adult?”

Mei Jing caught the pillow with a playful smile, skillfully put it back behind her, letting her lean comfortably against it, “Sister, there’s actually something I’ve been wanting to discuss with you for a long time, but you’re usually too busy, and I never had the chance to bring it up.”

“Go ahead,” Mei Shu assumed a posture of listening attentively.

She thought she would hear some naive ideas from Mei Jing again, but she didn’t expect him to be so serious about discussing with her, “Sister, everyone has a different path to take in the future. Some people need to rely on studying to have a future, while others have natural talent for learning.”

“But I feel that for me, studying doesn’t bring me true joy. Of course, obtaining essential knowledge will definitely be helpful for me, 1 admit that!”

“What are you trying to say?” Mei Shu furrowed her brow, feeling a sense of unease.

Mei Jing carefully gauged her expression and said, “Sister, can I attend race car training in my spare time next semester?”

“No!” Mei Shu immediately refused without hesitation.

“Why?” Mei Jing suddenly looked dejected, grabbing her hand and pleading, “Sister, I really like driving, but I’m not yet of legal age to get a driver’s license. However, 1 can attend race car training in advance. Please, just agree to it!”

Mei Shu pulled her hand back, her face cold, “I said no means no! Why do you like something so dangerous? Do you know how risky it is?”

Mei Jing quickly reassured her, “Sister! Trust me, 1 won’t let myself get hurt! I’ll be very careful, and the training 1 want to attend is legitimate and not dangerous at all!”

“What training? How did you hear about it?” Mei Shu asked sternly.

Mei Jing could only confess with a bitter expression, “It was Zhao He. He also likes race cars. The two of us are going to attend the training together, and it’s also a good way for us to look out for each other..”
