“When did you come in?” Mei Shu asked in surprise.
“I came in when you mentioned Sheng Nian,” Mei Jing replied, arms crossed, standing in the center of the room with a stoic expression.
Mei Shu showed no sign of embarrassment being interrupted. Instead, she beckoned Mei Jing over and handed him an exam paper, saying, “You’re going to have an exam soon. I got this practice paper from a classmate, and it’s said to be very helpful for improving your grades. You can try it, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
“Are you trying to get rid of me?” Mei Jing was feeling a bit irritated.
Ever since Mei Shu returned, Mei Jing found it increasingly difficult to understand his sister, whom he hadn’t seen for years.
She had become even more strategic and enigmatic than before.
She was clearly the type of woman he despised the most, yet Mei Jing couldn’t help but feel a pang of concern for her, which gave him a headache.
“I’m not trying to get rid of you. It’s just that I can’t explain what I’m doing right now. Once I finish this, you’ll understand everything,” Mei Shu replied.
With Mei Jing’s middle school entrance exam approaching, she didn’t want to distract him with their mother’s matters.
He had worked hard to improve his grades, and it would be a shame to throw it all away now.
However, Mei Jing seemed to know everything.
“Was the person you talked to just now Sheng Nian?”
“You know her?” Mei Shu was a little surprised.
“I’ve also seen the case file. Big brother showed it to me.” Mei Jing said expressionlessly.
Mei Shu didn’t know it.
So her eldest brother, Mei Feng, had already investigated their mother’s death?
“So, you want to use Sheng Nian to find a way to make Sheng Quan reveal the truth about the car accident from back then,” Mei Jing directly pointed out Mei Shu’s ultimate goal, which she had been hiding.
Mei Shu was completely stunned.
She never expected her younger brother to be so resourceful when he usually appeared foolish. She smiled helplessly and said, “Can you keep this a secret for me? I don’t want to involve more people until we figure this out.”
“I want to participate too.” Mei Jing made his request without hesitation.
Mei Shu refused decisively. “No, I’ve already planned this matter well. You don’t have to get involved in the risk.”
“But I’m also Mom’s biological son,” Mei Jing said defiantly. “As her son, how can I turn a blind eye to the suspicious circumstances surrounding her death? Sis, I know you’re doing this for my sake, but I also want to do my part for Mom!”
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Mei Shu’s heart ached.
Even though Mei Jing was in the ninth grade, a big boy’s age, in her eyes, he would always be a child, no matter how old he got.
She was just like her brothers’ mother.
She had the same love for her brothers.
Mei Shu held Mei Jing’s wrist, pulling him closer, and carefully wiped away the tears with a tissue. “Alright, I can agree, but I have one condition.”
“Go on,” Mei Jing’s heart leaped with joy. At this point, he would agree to anything Mei Shu said, as long as she allowed him to uncover the truth of their mother’s death with his own hands.
Mei Shu looked at him intently and said, “In all our plans, you must follow my lead. You can only do what I instruct you to do. No independent actions, do you understand?”
“Good!” Mei Jing nodded with joy, then snatched the set of test papers from Mei Shu’s hand and confidently said, “I want to prove to you that I’m no longer the little kid who needs your protection. I’m now a full-fledged man!”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but be amused by Mei Jing’s eager and earnest attempt to prove himself. She indulgently reassured him, “Alright, alright, I believe you’re a man now.”
Mei Jing:”…” It was clear that Mei Shu’s tone, akin to comforting a child, didn’t show full belief in him.
“Just wait and see! I will definitely prove myself to you!” He said determinedly and started to leave.
However, his wrist was suddenly seized by Mei Shu, and in the next moment, his hip received a firm pat from her.
“No talking to your sister like that!” Mei Shu sternly began to scold her brother.
Mei Jing’s face instantly turned crimson. He suddenly appeared flustered, moved to a corner, and with a stammering voice, he accused Mei Shu, “How can you still spank me like when I was a child?”
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Mei Shu shrugged, “Even if you’re eighty years old, as long as you do something wrong, I have the right to scold you. If you disagree, then prove to me that you won’t make mistakes and that you’re a man of honor!”
“Alright, I’ll prove it!” Mei Jing said and, with his head held high, he left with the exam papers. In less than half an hour, he returned with a perplexed expression, pointing at a particular question, saying, “Sis, I don’t know how to do this. Can you teach me?”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but chuckle, then, in all seriousness, she continued to help him with the questions until late into the night..
