Jiang He quickly bowed his head and walked behind Lu Si, as obedient as a big dog that had been scolded by its master. He mumbled, “Master Si, aren’t I just speaking on your behalf?”
Lu Si glared at him. Facing Mei Shu who was walking over, he no longer had the abnormal reaction just now. He just said coldly, “Go in.” Then, he took the lead to leave.
Jiang He took a deep breath and hurried after him.
Mei Shu looked at the two of them thoughtfully. Thinking of Lu Si’s suddenly cold tone just now and how the two of them were often inseparable, a ridiculous but reasonable guess suddenly popped up in her heart.
While eating, Mei Shu specially sat opposite the two of them, leaving the seat next to Lu Si for Jiang He.
Jiang He didn’t dare to eat at the same table as Master Si, but he couldn’t resist Mei Shu’s kindness, and Lu Si didn’t seem to strongly object, so he sat down nervously.
There were only the three of them in the private room, and the atmosphere was really strange. contemporary romance
After Mei Shu had subtly observed the two several times with her gaze, Lu Si finally couldn’t take it anymore and put down his chopsticks. “What are you looking at?”
This was the first time he spoke to Mei Shu coldly.
Jiang He was startled and almost choked to death on the meat in his mouth.
Mei Shu quickly put on an “1 know everything” expression and smiled at Jiang He comfortingly. “He’s throwing a tantrum at me, not at you. Don’t be afraid. I can tell that Ah Si is usually a gentle person.”
Jiang He:”?” He had a feeling that Miss Mei’s tone when speaking to him had an inexplicable hint of tenderness
Did he hear it wrong?
Jiang He said solemnly, “Miss Mei, Master Si won’t throw a tantrum at you. Don’t misunderstand him.”
Mei Shu glanced at Lu Si’s expressionless face and quickly defended him. “No, no, you are the last person who should misunderstand him. You have been by Ah Si’s side for so many years. You should know him very well!”
He knew it very well, which was why he was trying so hard to speak on behalf of his own willful and sulky Sir Si in front of Mei Shu!
But why did Miss Mei seem to pay more attention to him than to Master Si?
Jiang He wanted to cry. “No, no, in fact, 1 can tell that Master Si treats you better than anyone else.”
“That’s because we are good friends, but you are not!” Mei Shu winked at him desperately.
Jiang He frowned worriedly. “Miss Mei, is there something wrong with your eyes?”
Mei Shu rolled her eyes at him. Just as she was about to exclaim that Lu Si still had a long way to go in the realm of romance, she saw Lu Si slam his chopsticks onto the table with a thud, his expression growing so cold it seemed as if ice was forming.
“Jiang He! Get out!”
Jiang He, who was about to find tissues for Mei Shu, paused. He suddenly felt an electric shock on his back, and he quickly sprang up from his seat. “I-I’m full! Master Si, you both can continue talking. I’ll wait outside!”
“Hey! Jiang He, don’t go!” Mei Shu looked at Jiang He who didn’t even look back, glared at the indifferent Lu Si, and sighed deeply.
It wasn’t until the door closed that she retracted her gaze and picked up her chopsticks to eat again.
Lu Si asked angrily, “When did you become so familiar with him?”
“You mean me and Jiang He?” Mei Shu asked in confusion. “We don’t know each other well.”
Lu Si’s expression softened a little. “Then why can’t you bear to let him go out?”
Mei Shu:”…” Honorable Master Si, what the hell are you talking about?
What did he mean by she couldn’t bear it!
Mei Shu really wanted to bring a mirror over and let Lu Si take a good look at his jealous face.
After thinking for a moment, she was too lazy to get involved in it. She explained casually, “It’s not that I can’t bear it. I don’t have any other thoughts about him. Don’t overthink it.”
As soon as he said so, Mei Shu saw that Lu Si’s expression changed from being upset to relieved, and she thought to herself, “Lu Si is indeed a proud creature, clearly caring about someone but not admitting it!”
The Lu family was extremely powerful. Even if he had more progressive ideas, no one should dare to stop him. If he wanted to love someone, he should take the initiative! Why act so jealously and sour here?
“That’s good.” Lu Si lowered his long eyelashes to hide the flashing joy in his eyes. “Then tell me your plan. You asked Sheng Nian to use the shares as bait to catch Lu Ming. What’s your plan?”
At the mention of this, Mei Shu became serious. “I’m going to use his hands to investigate the accident back then.”
She never thought that there would be so many coincidences in the world.
Somehow, she felt that the death of Sheng Nian’s mother and the sudden death of Lu Ming’s father couldn’t be unrelated.
She deliberately said that in front of Lu Ming to make Lu Ming believe that Sheng Quan killed his father.
With this suspicion, he would definitely investigate. He would also get information from Lin Wei. At that time, Lin Wei would think that Lu Ming had heard this from the Sheng family.
If what Mei Shu thought was true, Lin Wei wouldn’t continue to do nothing.
So many years had passed, and a lot of evidence had been annihilated. The simplest way to reopen the old case was to let the culprit commit the crime again..
