Rich Daughter Reincarnates as Her Eighteen-Year-Old Self to Rescue Her Younger Brothers! Chapter 5

Chapter 5
Mei Yan cared about face, but he was also smart and knew how to adapt to changing circumstances. Although he was unhappy, he immediately stood up and prepared to go upstairs.
Mei Shu looked at Wang Yue and said casually, “Aunt Wang, you said that Mei Mu is also a child today, so she can’t be confined by textbooks too. I’ll go to her room later and bring her school bag to me, in case she studies too late. It’s not good for her health. I’ll return her school bag tomorrow morning.”
Mei Mu portrayed herself as a model student. How could she not do her homework? Her originally relaxed body instantly sat up straight. “No, I have to hand in my test paper tomorrow morning. You can’t take my school bag!”
When Wang Yue heard Mei Shu use her own words to block her, she was furious. However, she couldn’t let Mei Shu delay Mei Mu’s studies. After spending half a day together, Wang Yue could tell that Mei Shu was not easy to deal with. She could only force a stiff smile. “Mei Shu, Auntie didn’t say it appropriately today. Mei Mu is about to become an adult. Naturally, she has to be sensible and start studying. Don’t take her school bag!”
Mei Shu nodded hard. “Oh! Mei Yan, did you see that? Aunt Wang treats you so well. She would rather force her biological daughter to grow up and study than let her be happy. But as for you, it doesn’t matter if you study or not as long as you’re happy.”
Her words were very sarcastic, but Mei Shu’s tone didn’t show it at all. She even said it very sincerely. Wang Yue could not tell if Mei Shu was mocking her or if she really thought she was good.
Mei Yan was mischievous and didn’t like to study, but he was not stupid. Although he blamed Mei Shu for his mother’s death, he didn’t like his stepmother and stepsister very much.
It was said that children were very sensitive to emotions. Whether someone was sincere to them or not, they could accurately judge based on their intuition. Mei Yan just felt that Wang Yue and Mei Mu would satisfy all his requests and speak up for him when his father beat him up, so he didn’t mind being nicer to them, but only a little.
Mei Shu didn’t expect Mei Yan to be able to see through Wang Yue’s tricks this time. As long as she left a seed of doubt in his heart, she could water it from time to time.
Mei Shu smiled obediently. “Aunt Wang, Mei Mu, we’ll go upstairs first.”
Without waiting for Wang Yue to react, she led Mei Yan to the third floor.
This was the first time Mei Shu had entered her fourth brother’s room after returning to the Mei family this life. Mei Shu looked around.
Seeing Mei Shu wandering around, Mei Yan cleared his throat and asked awkwardly, “Were those words you just said intentional to be heard by me?”
Mei Shu turned around. “You’re not too stupid.”
Mei Yan snorted. “They’re not good people. But you don’t try to trick me into treating you well.”
Mei Shu was a little surprised by Mei Yan’s evaluation of Wang Yue and her daughter. She suddenly realized that she might have been the one who could not read people the most in her previous life. Before the fire, she had still dreamed of pleasing them and integrating into the Mei family. For that end, she had even sacrificed her greatest bargaining chip.
When she came back to her senses, Mei Shu raised her hand and patted Mei Yan’s head in relief.
Mei Yan blushed and moved away. “Hey, don’t mess up my hairstyle.”
Mei Shu chuckled. “You’re still a kid. What hairstyle do you have? Take out your homework.”
Mei Yan had only listened for a few minutes in class. How could he know about today’s homework? However, when he thought of Mei Shu’s extraordinary strength, he didn’t dare to tell the truth. He rolled his eyes and insisted on what he had said before. “I really don’t have any homework today.”
Mei Shu raised her eyelids. “Don’t force me to really go to your school tomorrow.”
Mei Yan couldn’t afford to lose face. He could only say that he didn’t know what today’s homework was. After confessing, he jumped a few meters away, afraid that he would be beaten up.
Mei Shu wanted to laugh when she saw that Mei Yan was traumatized by her magical strength, but she held it in. Now, she had to maintain her dignity to better drive Mei Yan to study hard.
Mei Shu flipped through Mei Yan’s textbooks and exercise books. They were so clean that Mei Shu wondered if the purpose of these books was just to be carried to and from school by him every day. She looked at Mei Yan, who was standing far away, and said calmly, “Come over. I won’t hit you.”
Mei Yan looked at Mei Shu suspiciously and didn’t move his feet.
Mei Shu could only scare him. “If you don’t come over when I count to three, I’ll hit you. One!”
“Two!”
He might not have been beaten up if he went over, but he would definitely not be able to escape if he didn’t. Mei Yan quickly made a judgment and ran to the desk before Mei Shu counted to three. However, he still had his neck stiffened, with a look of defiance..
