After the others had walked away, Mei Yan cautiously peeked out from behind Jiang Hai.
He cast a glance into the distance, making sure the person wouldn’t return, then heaved a sigh of relief, covering his chest. “Did the big liar send you?”
“Big liar?” Jiang Hai asked, puzzled.
Mei Yan grumbled, “Your Master Si, of course.”
Jiang Hai had a knowing expression. “Yes, Master Si heard the noise and asked me to come get you.”
“He knew I was coming?” Now it was Mei Yan’s turn to be shocked.
Didn’t his sister say that the big liar hadn’t been in contact with her since the incident?
Jiang Hai gestured to follow him and said, “Young Master, he’s upstairs waiting for you. Please, follow me.”
Mei Yan followed him into the villa.
Perhaps due to Lu Si’s prior arrangements, the guards at the villa entrance were busy catching cats, giving them a chance to slip inside.
Lu Si was waiting in the study.
As soon as Mei Yan entered, he walked past Jiang Hai and approached Lu Si with a menacing air. If only he were taller, he would have grabbed Lu Si by the collar.
“I know you’re mad at me, but I had no other choice.” Lu Si spread his hands, adopting an innocent expression. “As you can see, I’m confined at home, and I don’t even have my phone with me.”
Mei Yan still glared at him fiercely. “Did you collude with that woman from the Shen family?”
“Of course not.” Lu Si earnestly said, “I never claimed that Shen Yuan was my fiancee. This whole situation was planned by her and my grandfather, and I’m a victim too.”
Mei Yan finally eased his aggression, snorted, and found a sofa to sit on, crossing his legs like a boss. “Pour me a cup of tea.”
Lu Si smiled, watching Mei Yan’s face resembling Mei Shu’s. He couldn’t get angry no matter what.
“Jiang Hai, tea.”
“Yes.” Jiang Hai obediently poured a cup of tea for Mei Yan, then exited the study, leaving the space to the two of them.
Mei Yan was genuinely thirsty.
God knows how nervous he had been all the way here!
Now sitting here, he felt like his whole body was on fire, his throat was smoking, but he had to put on some air in front of Lu Si.
He leisurely picked up the teacup, pretended to blow on the hot tea inside, while inside, he was desperate to just gulp down the whole cup.
Lu Si glanced thoughtfully and started a conversation, “How is your sister doing now?”
“Thanks to you, my sister is in the hospital,” Mei Yan replied sarcastically.
Lu Si furrowed his brows suddenly. “She’s injured? Where is she injured?”
Mei Yan blew on the tea again and took a tentative sip.
Gee, still a bit hot.
“Injured in the head, otherwise, why would she be interested in someone like you?” Mei Yan said with a nasty tone.
Lu Si was stunned, and his face showed anxiety. “How is she really, Yan Yan?”
Impatiently furrowing his brows, Mei Yan said, “If you’re so worried about her, find a way to get out of this prison yourself! You’re such a big person, yet you’re stuck at home. Have you no pride?”
Lu Si sighed and said, “My grandfather is in poor health, suffering from heart disease. I can’t directly confront him, but I’ll do my best to help your sister in anyway I can.”
The hot water in the cup was finally drinkable.
Mei Yan relaxed his frowning brows, drank the first cup, and poured himself another. This time, he didn’t rush to drink, placing the tea on the table and continued to watch Lu Si. “What can you do? It was Lu Yan who helped my sister.”
“I admit it was my mistake not to step forward personally to help your sister, but I need to know the current situation to plan the next steps. Can you tell me everything that has happened so far so I can figure out what to do next?” Lu Si took a deep breath, trying not to argue with a child. He walked over to Mei Yan, patted his head, and said, “Yan Yan, now is not the time for these arguments. Tell me the situation, and I’ll do my best to handle what comes next, okay?”
Mei Yan snorted and turned his head away, avoiding Lu Si’s touch. “You don’t need to plan anything. My sister told me not to act rashly. If she didn’t tell me to pass on the message, do you think I would willingly come see you?”
Lu Si showed no surprise but suddenly became softer in his expression. “What your sister said is what I also want to do. But I still need to know how things have developed so far.”
He had kept the hairpin Jiang Hai brought back from the Mei family in a drawer.
But now that Jiang Hai was back at the Lu family, with the old man’s abilities, even he couldn’t leave. So, he’s currently unaware of what happened after the police visited.
However, he wasn’t worried about losing. After all, he had anticipated that Shen Yuan wouldn’t be so honest.
He was just afraid that Mei Shu wouldn’t be able to handle it alone.
Mei Yan reluctantly recounted everything that happened after that day, and at the end, he couldn’t help but mock Lu Si. “Look at the fiancee you found, wanting to extort money from our family.. Truly disgraceful!”
