“I won’t listen to her!” Lu Ting was now throwing a tantrum like a stubborn child.
Mei Shu chuckled, holding her own shoulders. “If you don’t want to listen to me, then why did you call me over?”
Lu Ting glared at her fiercely. “I want to see what kind of little vixen has bewitched my most valued grandson, to the extent that he won’t even listen to me now!”
Mei Shu nodded understandingly. “I can see that you do value Ah Si a lot, but there’s something I need to tell you.”
“What is it?” Lu Ting was so upset that he didn’t even want to look at her, his beard trembling slightly. Apart from being a bit quaint, he seemed rather cute.
Mei Shu suppressed her smile and said seriously, “Your judgment of people is really not that great.”
“What did you say?” Lu Ting stood up directly, so angry that he pointed at her nose. “Do you know that it was me who built the Lu family to where it is today single-handedly? I’ve seen more people than you’ve had meals, and you dare say my judgment is not great?”
“Yeah.” Mei Shu innocently shrugged her shoulders. “As it turns out, the one you value, Shen Yuan, is really not that great. She’s ruthless for the sake of wealth, her actions are extreme, and her values are skewed. Frankly speaking, would you dare to let someone like her manage the Lu family with Ah Si in the future?”
Lu Ting fell silent unexpectedly, no longer continuing to vent his anger at her.
Mei Shu continued, “Today, she can harm innocent female students for the sake of the Shen family and her own interests. So, the next time there’s a conflict between the interests of the Lu family and hers, she’ll definitely hesitate to abandon the Lu family. Mr. Lu, you claim to have broad knowledge and experience, so you must be familiar with such profit-seeking individuals, right?”
Lu Ting sulkily sat back on the sofa, still wearing a sour expression. “Even if Shen Yuan is not that good, she’s definitely better than you! Look at yourself! You’re just using all means to enter our Lu family’s door!”
“That’s not true.” Mei Shu found an empty seat on the sofa and sat down leisurely. “What 1 did was purely because I wanted to help my friend get revenge. As for whether I can successfully marry All Si by driving Shen Yuan away, I can only say, I’m sorry, but that’s not within my current considerations.”
Lu Ting looked at Mei Shu incredulously. It was the first time someone had disregarded the Lu family in such a contemptuous manner in front of him.
Mei Shu continued earnestly, “As you can see, I haven’t completed my studies yet, and I still have the burden of the Mei family on my shoulders. Actually, I don’t want to consider marriage so soon. Ah Si and 1 are together because we like each other. It has nothing to do with your Lu family’s status.”
Lu Ting snorted disdainfully, “You speak so morally upright. Let me ask you, if Ah Si weren’t the Ah Si he is now, if he were just a poor nobody, would you still want to be with him?”
Nowadays, young girls may say sweet words, but in reality, they prioritize a man’s financial status above all else.
Men without money and power, no matter how sincere they are, will be abandoned by them without hesitation, relegated to the sidelines early on!
Mei Shu wasn’t angry at the disdainful attitude of the old man. Instead, she explained very seriously, “I imagine the latter part of your life has always been lived in luxury, with people fawning over you and you controlling everything. So, you may have forgotten that when the Lu family hadn’t reached its current status, there were also genuine feelings around you that didn’t revolve around money and status.”
Her gaze moved away from the screen next to the old man, shaking her head with a hint of regret. “As you can see, someone has already answered the question you asked me with their actions decades ago. It’s just that you’ve experienced too much since then, and that part of your life has been forgotten.”
At her words, everyone in the living room looked at Lu Ting in surprise.
The old man had married two women in his lifetime, one when he was still young and his career hadn’t reached its current status.
That woman unfortunately fell ill and passed away, leaving no descendants.
In order to have heirs, the old man remarried, that is, Lu Li and All Si’s biological grandmother.
And it seemed that those events had been buried in the ground along with the woman’s passing, never to see the light of day again.
He never expected that this matter would one day be brought up so openly by a rude junior!
“Do you know Xiaojing?” Lu Ting’s heart trembled as he mentioned this name.
Mei Shu shook her head. “I don’t know her, but I know that you used to be someone who believed in true love. It’s just as you said, you’ve seen too much, and you’ve forgotten the things you shouldn’t have forgotten the most.”
Lu Ting fell silent, his usually straight back showing a momentary sign of fatigue.
“How do I know that you’re not just saying nice things, but in reality, you’re no different from Shen Yuan and those people?”
