Chapter 259: Possessiveness
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the school day neared its end, the classroom, which had been calm and quiet during self-study time, suddenly became a bit noisy.
Even Mei Shu, who was usually very focused, found her attention diverted.
Wen Miao secretly sent her a message, “Have you seen the pictures in the grade group? Why did he suddenly come to our school?”
“Who?” Mei Shu asked in response, but she went ahead and opened the group chat to check the messages.
It turned out that the grade group had exploded with discussions.
Although she had been made a group administrator by Lu Yan, she had recently become very busy with her own affairs. Besides, the constant stream of messages in the group affected her studies. Therefore, she had muted the group.
If it weren’t for Wen Miao’s notification, she wouldn’t have known that the students in the group had gone crazy discussing the man who had entered the principal’s office.
Mei Shu furrowed her brows and couldn’t help but feel curious.
She continued scrolling past the infatuated comments from girls and the discussions about the man’s identity by boys until she finally saw a side profile picture of the man.
A familiar face suddenly appeared before her eyes.
The man was still wearing the same suit he had on when they met at lunchtime, but there was a touch of unfamiliar seriousness on his face compared to when he was with her.
Lu Si had come to the school?
Did he have something to discuss with the principal?
She exited the group chat and replied to Wen Miao’s message, “I’m not sure. Maybe he has some business here.”
With that, she put away her phone carelessly and continued to focus on her questions.
She didn’t think much of it since she and Lu Si were just regular friends, and he wasn’t obligated to inform her of his plans.
However, she didn’t expect him to appear at her classroom door when school was over.
Wen Miao, who was always the first to dash out of the classroom when the bell rang, was no exception this time.
But when she saw Lu Si waiting outside the door with a stern expression, she quickly turned back and informed Mei Shu, “Your friend seems to be waiting for you outside!”
Mei Shu paused for a moment and swiftly packed her things into her bag before pushing through the crowd of students who were eagerly watching the scene. She walked out of the classroom and asked, “Is there something you need from me?”
Lu Si nodded and looked past her to the shocked students inside the classroom. His eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly with displeasure. “Let’s get in the car; I have something for you.”
Mei Shu didn’t refuse and followed him as they descended the stairs.
Lu Yan had also seen the messages in the group chat. He had intended to look for Mei Shu right after school, but he didn’t expect that their class teacher would keep them late, almost causing him to miss the opportunity to meet Mei Shu.
However, it wasn’t too late.
He walked up to Mei Shu and greeted her casually. “Little Uncle, why did you suddenly come to our school? Are you here to talk to the principal?”
“Uh-huh,” Lu Si replied. The smile in his eyes disappeared as soon as he saw Lu Yan, and he seemed to be in a somewhat bad mood. “Your school has a few students in need, and they are the focus of our company’s charity project. I came to discuss this matter with the principal.”
“Such a small matter could have been handled by Uncle Jiang. Why did Little Uncle come all the way here?” Lu Yan asked seemingly casually.
Lu Si maintained his composure. “Charity work is never a small matter. You’ll understand once you take over your father’s business. To effectively provide benefits to the children, we must actively participate in charity projects to prevent any oversights that can be exploited.”
Lu Si lectured Lu Yan, explaining the importance of charity work. He continued speaking until the three of them reached the school gate.
Mei Shu could sense Lu Yan’s feelings, and she initially thought that he would be unable to tolerate Lu Si’s lecturing and would choose to leave. However, she was surprised when Lu Yan not only listened with relish but also expressed his willingness to continue learning from Lu Si. Mei Shu was truly amazed.
Lu Si pursed his lips, and a slightly displeased look appeared on his face. “Mei Shu and I have something to discuss. I’ll take her home.”
“That’s great; we can all walk Mei Shu home together, and then we can head home together as well,” Lu Yan said earnestly.
There was nothing wrong with his words. Even Mei Shu wanted to agree, but Lu Si still refused.
“I really want to take you with me, but are you sure you want to leave your little tail behind?”
Lu Yan followed Lu Si’s gaze to see Zhou Li rushing over. He instinctively tightened his brows and asked, “Why are you here?”
“We’ve been going home together these past few days. You left in such a hurry today, I had to run all the way here just to catch up!” Zhou Li complained while catching her breath. Afterward, she sweetly greeted Lu Si as “Second Uncle.”
Lu Si was quite pleased with Zhou Li’s politeness and nodded. He then grabbed Mei Shu’s wrist and, looking at Lu Yan, said, “Since you’ve already arranged to go home with someone else, don’t easily break your word. My car can’t accommodate everyone. We’ll be leaving.”
He opened the car door and gently pushed Mei Shu into the front passenger seat.
Lu Yan was taken aback for a moment. What surprised him wasn’t Lu Si’s possessiveness towards Mei Shu but the fact that Lu Si hadn’t brought Jiang He with him this time and had personally driven to the school to pick up Mei Shu..
