Chapter 100: Praise from the Bigshot
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing Zhou Liang’s arrival, the butler finally found support. He hurriedly ran up to Zhou Liang, wearing a mournful expression, and complained, “It’s Master Si who wanted to fish here. I didn’t dare to refuse, so I had to find fishing rods for them to play with. But 1 never expected that they would actually catch all three of your white dragonfish!”
When the maid came to report to him earlier, there was only one fish caught!
Zhou Liang was so angry that his eyes widened, but he still restrained himself considering Lu Si’s long-standing prestige. He suppressed his anger and went in front of Mei Shu before finally venting his frustrations, “Miss Mei Shu, you are a guest in my Zhou family, but isn’t it a bit too much to fish in my pond?”
Innocently, Mei Shu turned her head to look, and the fish in her hand slipped out and made a splash as it jumped into the bucket, splashing water on Zhou Liang’s pants.
Zhou Liang was instantly furious.
Wang Yue couldn’t stand Mei Shu at all, and now she was acting like an elder, pointing at Mei Shu’s nose and scolding, “You are embarrassing us. Letting you attend the banquet is just a mistake. At home, you behave arrogantly, and we can tolerate you because you just returned from the countryside. We are lenient with you, and we don’t even bother to hold you accountable for hitting your sister. But here, you still don’t follow the rules. I will definitely tell your father about this and let him teach you a lesson!”
Wang Yue exaggerated Mei Shu’s actions, and even the nearby butler furrowed his brows.
He had thought that someone valued by Master Si would at least have a decent character. He never expected Mei Shu to be so vicious.
Mei Mu looked hopefully at Lu Si, hoping that he would be disgusted with Mei Shu and drive her away from the Zhou family, so they could continue to control Mei Shu.
But Lu Si just glanced lightly. As his gaze moved from the bandage on Mei Mu’s wrist to Mei Shu’s face, he sincerely praised, “Well done.”
Lu Si’s words left Zhou Liang choking on all the words he wanted to say, unable to speak. His face quickly turned purple.
Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh.
Now Wang Yue and Mei Mu’s faces looked even worse.
But Mei Mu wasn’t willing to give up the chance to embarrass Mei Shu in front of Lu Si. She endured the pain and said with difficulty, “Does Brother Lu Yan know that you secretly date another man behind his back? If he knew that his partner was here leisurely fishing with someone else, he would probably be angry.”
When Mei Shu heard this, her eyebrows involuntarily twitched. She leaned in and asked Lu Si in a lowered voice, “Does she not recognize you?”
The warm breath sprayed on Lu Si’s neck.
Lu Si’s lips curved slightly, and he said seriously, “With her identity, she isn’t worthy of knowing who 1 am.”
Mei Shu understood, so she backed away a bit and looked at Mei Mu. “I’m sorry, your Brother Lu Yan not only knows but also supports it. If he really gets upset, 1’11 go over and comfort him later.”
Mei Mu’s face turned pale, completely unaware of where Mei Shu’s confidence was coming from!
At this moment, Zhou Liang dared not even take a breath. Not for anything else, but solely because Mei Shu spoke in front of Lu Si like that, and Lu Si was gazing at her with a gentle expression. He didn’t dare to cause any trouble for Mei Shu anymore.
At least, in front of Lu Si, he didn’t dare to show his dissatisfaction with Mei Shu.
Mei Shu looked at her pale face and was satisfied. She withdrew her gaze and said, “Actually, it’s not appropriate for me to fish so many fish from your house. I’ll release them back into the pond.”
Lu Si raised his hand to stop her from picking up the bucket of water, “These fish count as a gift from me to you. If Mr. Zhou is reluctant, I’ll compensate with a few more fish.”
Mei Shu frowned, thinking about the system saying that these fish were rare species, and she asked uncertainly, “Wouldn’t that be too wasteful? Actually, I don’t know how to raise fish at all. Let’s forget about taking them away!”
Lu Si smiled lightly and said, “It’s up to you.”
Zhou Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn’t help his daughter deal with Mei Shu this time, at least these precious fish were saved.
The two of them were immersed in their conversation, completely ignoring everyone else.
As Mei Shu’s stepmother, Wang Yue felt that her dignity was being challenged. She stood in front of Mei Shu with her hands on her hips and said, “Didn’t you hear what 1 said just now? You quickly release the fish and apologize to Mr. Zhou. Otherwise, I’ll tell your father, and you’ll be grounded again!”
Mei Shu furrowed her brows and stood straight in front of her, “If you really have the ability, come and deal with me yourself instead of always using my father to suppress me. Also, Mei Mu’s hand was injured because she dared to hit her half-sister. 1 fought back because, as the older sister, I needed to teach her a lesson. If you can’t handle your daughter, I can take care of her for you.”
Zhang Jiao looked in surprise at the frail girl standing beside him, who was about to collapse.
So, Mei Mu was injured because she hit Mei Shu first?
This didn’t match her gentle and soft demeanor at all..
