Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing his figure, Wang Yue’s eyes slyly darted around, and she changed the topic while wailing, “Even if you are jealous of Mei Mu’s beauty, you shouldn’t break her hand!”
Zhang Jiao’s footsteps paused upon hearing her voice. He stopped at the staircase, apparently eavesdropping.
Wang Yue cursed him for being a coward and continued to pour dirty water on Mei Shu, “If you want to attend the Zhou family’s banquet, you should just tell your sister. Mumu has a kind heart. She would still take you with her, wouldn’t she? Why did you have to break her hand? Do you think that if Mumu’s hand is injured, you can replace her and accompany Mr. Zhang to the banquet?”
Zhang Jiao’s heart jolted, and he suddenly looked at Mei Shu’s straight back.
Could it be that she is really jealous of her sister and competing for my attention?
But the next second, Mei Shu shattered his illusion.
“Don’t misunderstand. Even if Mei Mu is not going, Lu Yan will come to pick me up and take me to the banquet. Mr. Zhang is well aware of this, right?”
Mei Shu turned around and calmly looked at the man standing at the stairway.
Zhang Jiao was taken aback, lowered his head dejectedly, and said, “Miss Mei Shu is right. 1 do know.”
Wang Yue was stunned and opened her mouth wide but couldn’t say a word.
How could Zhang Jiao know so much about Mei Shu!
How much had she missed when she and her daughter went back to the room to change clothes that day!
Mei Mu’s face contorted in pain. Her other intact hand grabbed Wang Yue’s arm and pleaded, “Mom, stop talking. Take me to the hospital. My hand is really broken.”
Now Wang Yue no longer had the mood to deal with Mei Shu. She just glared at her fiercely and helped her daughter down the stairs.
Zhang Jiao took the initiative to pick up Mei Mu, “Let me do it. I’ll drive Miss Mei Mu to the hospital. It’ll be faster this way.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang.” Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and followed him carefully downstairs.
At this moment, Lu Yan’s car also arrived outside the Mei family’s house.
When Wang Yue saw him, tears couldn’t stop pouring down from her eyes. She cursed Mei Shu for what she had done to Mei Mu and intentionally slandered her.
Since her daughter’s hand was broken, she didn’t want Mei Shu to have it easy either!
However, all Lu Yan’s ears could accurately catch were the words “Mei Shu,” and he ignored the rest of Wang Yue’s nonsensical remarks.
He rushed into the courtyard, his voice hoarse until he saw Mei Shu coming out of the villa unharmed. Then he felt relieved.
“It’s great you’re fine.”
Wang Yue:”…”
It’s quite obvious that it’s her daughter who has a problem!
Moreover, she had been talking for so long, complaining about how Mei Shu had harmed Mei Mu, and yet how did Lu Yan’s ears manage to hear it all wrong?
Seeing Wang Yue’s expression as if she had eaten a fly, Mei Shu couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “I’m fine. Let’s go.”
Lu Yan nodded lightly, and suddenly, he remembered something. He went back to the car and took out a delicate bag, handing it to Mei Shu, “This is from my youngest uncle. He said you can wear this dress to the banquet.”
“Your youngest uncle?” Mei Shu was curious. She hadn’t met this person before, so why would he send her clothes for no reason?
Lu Yan scratched his head awkwardly, “Just wear it. It’s a pretty good dress, and it suits your temperament well. With it on, you will undoubtedly be the most beautiful girl tonight.”
Mei Mu was infuriated, but the pain left her unable to say anything. She could only let Zhang Jiao put her into the car and stared fiercely at Mei Shu through the car window.
Just a moment ago, her mother, Wang Yue, said that she would be the most beautiful girl at the banquet, but now Lu Yan was giving that title to Mei Shu.
Was he blind?
How could Mei Shu be prettier than her?
After closing the car door, Zhang Jiao took the initiative to greet Lu Yan.
Lu Yan hadn’t taken over the business of his family’s company yet, so he didn’t know Zhang Jiao. He just nodded indifferently, showing a hint of perfunctoriness on his face.
Zhang Jiao didn’t mind and drove away.
Mei Shu was still hesitating whether to wear this dress, but she didn’t prepare any other clothes, and this dress was indeed the solution to her urgent need.
Lu Yan playfully opened the car door for her, “Please, Miss, what are you hesitating about? Don’t you believe that you will be the most beautiful tonight?”
“1 will still be the most beautiful even without wearing this dress,” Mei Shu teased him, joking as she sat into the car.
The two of them first went to see a stylist to have Mei Shu’s light makeup done. After changing clothes, they headed to the Zhou family’s villa.
As soon as Lu Yan’s car arrived, the butler and servants came to greet them.
Zhou Li also hurried over, but her smile vanished when she saw Mei Shu sitting in the passenger seat.
Was she really coming along with Lu Yan?
And why did the dress she was wearing look more magnificent and beautiful than the one her, the host of the banquet, had on?
Was Mei Shu here to upstage her?
“Lu Yan, you finally came! Mom and Dad are waiting inside to catch up with you!” Zhou Li held Lu Yan’s hand, displaying an affectionate and cute demeanor..
