“Mei Shu! How can you say that about your grandmother?” Wang Yue angrily pointed at Mei Shu, ready to hold her accountable.
Exhausted to the extreme, Mei Yun roared, “Stop it!”
This roar instantly silenced the entire living room.
He wearily slumped onto the sofa, covering his face and letting out a long sigh. “Wang Yue, this doesn’t concern you. Go to the kitchen and cook.”
“Honey, I…” Wang Yue looked somewhat wronged as she glanced over, but she was caught off guard when she met Mei Yun’s furious gaze.
A thousand words were stuck in her throat, and Wang Yue shrank her neck fearfully. “Then, I’ll go to the kitchen. Mom, take care of yourself.”
As she walked, she frequently turned back with worry.
As she left, the old lady cried even louder, tearing at her heartstrings.
Mei Yun helplessly handed her a tissue. “Mom, please don’t cry. This can’t be entirely blamed on Mei Shu.”
“What do you mean then? If it’s not her fault, do you want to blame me?” The old lady cried, hitting her thigh. “This is outrageous! Old man, why did you leave so early without taking me with you? I don’t want to live anymore. My granddaughter actually hit me!”
“Mom, please stop making a scene!” Mei Yun had a splitting headache. He waved his hand towards Mei Shu and the others. “You guys should go upstairs for now. I’ll have Zhao Yan bring your dinner up later. Just stay upstairs tonight.”
“Okay.” Mei Yan obediently agreed and led his sister upstairs.
After all, their sister had already taken care of that old lady for them. They wouldn’t lose out!
Back in their room, Mei Yan cautiously glanced outside to make sure Wang Yue hadn’t followed them to eavesdrop and cause trouble. Once he was sure, he closed the door.
The little child tried to act like adults, heaving a sigh of relief and patting his chest. “Sister, you were really amazing just now! That old lady kept slandering Mom. I’ve disliked her for a long time! It was so satisfying to see you hit her!”
Mei Jing also chimed in, “Sister, 1 really didn’t expect you to be so brave. But after this, that old lady definitely won’t let you off. What are you going to do next?” contemporary romance
“Stay cool,” Mei Shu said indifferently as she sat back down at her desk, picked up her test paper, and started to work on it. “What can she do to me? As long as you guys don’t give her and Wang Yue any ammunition to use against you, 1 have nothing to fear.”
“Sister, don’t underestimate them!” Mei Yan said stubbornly, puffing out his chest. “I’m at least better than Third Brother! I definitely won’t give them any handles!”
“What do you mean you’re better than me?” Mei Jing retorted. “Don’t forget, when Sister wasn’t here, who had to clean up the mess you made?”
Hearing this, Mei Yan looked somewhat guilty as he glanced at Mei Shu. “Sister, I won’t cause trouble again in the future. Please don’t listen to Third Brother’s nonsense.”
“How can you say it’s nonsense?” Mei Jing was about to start listing all the big and small mistakes Mei Yan had made in the past.
Mei Shu chuckled and interrupted their bickering. “Alright, just be careful on your own. You don’t have to give in to them all the time. No matter what happens, you can tell me. With me around, I won’t let anyone bully you.”
Mei Yan and Mei Jing were both taken aback.
They were so used to acting independently, whether it was eating, going to school, or other things. They had always been alone, afraid of making any mistakes that might upset their father in case life at home became more agonizing.
But now there was someone willing to be their protector.
Mei Jing was a bit older and just snorted with a flushed face, not showing too many complicated emotions.
But Mei Yan couldn’t hold back any longer. He rushed into Mei Shu’s arms, tears streaming down his face, deeply moved. “Sister! Having you is really wonderful! You’re so much more useful than Brother! Sister, please never leave us! We want to stay together forever as siblings!”
Mei Jing was so annoyed that her forehead veins were popping out, and he reached out to flick his forehead.
Mei Yan, now in pain, cried even more miserably.
Mei Shu, with a smile, rubbed his reddened forehead. “Alright, Mei Jing actually cares about you a lot too. I also want to be with you guys forever, but 1 have to go to college. I won’t be in Lin City anymore, but you can study hard. When you earn money in the future, you can go wherever you want!”
“Great! I’ll definitely study hard!” Mei Yan immediately followed through on his promise and took out his textbooks from his school bag, starting to do his homework.
Mei Shu was very pleased with this.
Thinking back to when she had just returned to the Mei family, this kid had empty textbooks. Now, seeing him working diligently, she felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
She raised her eyes slightly, and her gaze naturally fell on Mei Jing.
Mei Jing shivered all over, thinking to himself that this was not good.
But there was no way to escape now because her collar was already in Mei Shu’s hand.
Under the tremendous force, Mei Jing was forced to sit at the desk and had to lower his head to complete the three sets of exercises that were forcibly assigned to him before he could finally go to bed..
