Chapter 52: A Useless Skill

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Your father is asking you a question. How can you ignore him?” Wang Yue looked at Mei Shu reproachfully, very satisfied with the topic her daughter had just raised.

She wanted Mei Yun to know that Mei Shu was just a country-raised girl who didn’t understand the rules even after coming to the city. She shamelessly flirted with men and couldn’t compare to Mei Mu in any aspect!

“That’s right, since Sister is capable of doing such things, shouldn’t she have the guts to tell Dad? After all, you are a daughter of the Mei family, and every action of yours represents the Mei family. When Dad asks you a question, you should honestly answer,” Mei Mu relentlessly pursued. She wanted to suppress Mei Shu’s arrogance through this incident.

The atmosphere in the entire restaurant suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Mei Shu hadn’t spoken all this time; she was bargaining with the system.

Just now, when Mei Mu brought up this topic, the system assigned her a task.

[Please complete the task of dispelling rumors. If you can successfully divert the trouble, you can receive additional rewards.]

[What reward?]

[A chance to draw an item, with a 10% chance of obtaining a rare item.]

[Only 10%? It’s just the two of us here. Can’t you increase the probability a bit?]

[Sorry, Master, the system doesn’t have that authority.]

[So stingy.]

Mei Shu rolled her eyes in her mind but maintained a neutral expression on her face.

Mei Yun thought Mei Shu’s silence meant that she had been caught, and his expression immediately turned cold. “Mei Shu, you’ve just come back from the countryside to study. Dad understands your desire to make friends, but your grades are already inferior to Mei Mu’s. If you continue to neglect your studies and indulge in personal matters, won’t that be putting the cart before the horse?”

“What’s the name of that boy? Which class is he in?”

Although Mei Yun’s words were not overly severe, those who knew him well knew that he was already on the verge of anger.

Mei Jing couldn’t help but feel worried, but he maintained an indifferent expression on his face.

Mei Yan was so afraid that he didn’t dare to speak.

Wang Yue and her daughter both appeared to be enjoying the show.

Mei Shu scanned the room, observing everyone’s reactions. She then smiled and said, “Dad, you misunderstood me. The boy’s name is Li Zhen, and he’s in the top class. The reason I had dinner with him was purely because I heard from someone that Mei Mu often goes to see him. I was just concerned, so I asked him a few questions. Fortunately, the boy said that he had firmly rejected Mumu. Otherwise, I would have been worried about it affecting her studies.”

Mei Yun’s stern gaze instantly shifted to Mei Mu. “Is everything your sister said true?” contemporary romance

Mei Mu panicked immediately.

She had only heard from a friend that she saw Mei Shu with a boy at the cake shop, but no one told her that the person was Li Zhen!

If she had known it was Li Zhen, she would never have brought it up at this moment!

Mei Mu hurriedly retorted, “Sister, even if you hate me for exposing your dinner with a boy in front of Dad, you shouldn’t slander me! Do you think you can clean yourself by doing this?!”

Mei Shu smiled calmly, “Whether I slandered you or not, Dad can find out by asking at school. Even the teachers can probably see through your little schemes. Can I really unjustly accuse you? Mumu, we’re a family now. I’m your sister. How could you think of me that way?”

“Mei Mu.” Mei Yun interrupted her, his voice deep and stern. “Don’t speak to your sister like that!”

Mei Mu’s eyes welled up with grievances, and she looked to her mother for help.

Wang Yue forced a smile and quickly stood up, patting Mei Yun’s back to appease him. “Children quarreling and making a fuss is nothing. Having some conflicts between sisters can actually deepen their bond. Mumu has always prioritized her studies, and you know her grades are good!”

Upon hearing this, Mei Yun sighed softly, finally suppressing the anger that was about to erupt from within him. “You’ve always handled matters in the family with prudence. You need to have a proper conversation with our daughter about this matter. It’s best if she didn’t do it, but if it’s true, strict discipline is necessary.”

“I understand. I’ll pay attention to it. After we finish eating, I’ll have a serious talk with our daughter.” Wang Yue said and sat back to eat once she saw that Mei Yun’s anger had subsided.

That was the difference between having a mother present and not having one.

Mei Mu had her own mother to help speak up for her, and she could placate her father with a little effort. Even if she made a big mistake, it could be treated as if it hadn’t happened.

But Mei Shu and her younger brothers could only behave carefully in this household. If they were slightly careless and caught by Wang Yue and her daughter, Mei Yun would give them a good lesson.

Mei Jing and Mei Yan looked at the cozy appearance of the three of them and suddenly felt that the food in their mouths had lost its taste. Both of them drooped their little faces and silently missed Bai Ling in their hearts.

However, Mei Shu didn’t care about this.

She only cared about the reward the system promised to give her!

[Congratulations, Master, for completing the task. You have earned +10 points.]

[Congratulations, Master, for successfully diverting the trouble. You have obtained a skill reward. Please choose a random number from one to ten.]

[Ten.]
