Lu Family.
When Lu Yan returned home, his mother was sitting on the sofa chatting on the phone.
Upon seeing him, she immediately put down her phone and called him over, “How was your day with Zhou Li? As the daughter of the Zhou family, she is elegant and gracious, and she’s also your childhood friend. Don’t neglect her.” “Mom,” Lu Yan sat expressionlessly on the opposite side of the sofa, “Mei Shu is the one I’ve been playing with since childhood.”
His words completely wiped the smile off Qin Qin’s face.
With a stern look on her face, she sternly commanded, “Starting from today, I forbid you from mentioning her in front of me. Don’t get too close to her either. People from the Mei family are not worthy of our Lu family!”
“Mom, how can you say that?” Lu Yan couldn’t understand why his mother suddenly had such animosity towards Mei Shu.
When they were young, his mother treated Mei Shu like her own daughter!
Why has everything changed now?
Ignoring his anger, Qin Qin picked up her tablet and showed him the most trending news, “Take a look at this.”
Lu Yan hesitated but took the tablet and read the text from beginning to end. His eyes widened in shock, “Mom, this is fake. Don’t believe it! Mei Shu is not like this; it’s Mei Mu who is behind all this!”
“I know it wasn’t Mei Shu,” Qin Qin calmly raised her eyes to look at him.
Lu Yan was speechless, “Then why do you still hold such prejudice against her?”
Qin Qin sighed deeply, pulling her son to sit beside her, she earnestly advised, “In the past, Bai Ling and 1 were good friends. With Bai Ling around, the Mei family was harmonious, and I didn’t mind you having a relationship with her. Only families like that can raise gentle and sensible girls.”
“I admit that I once thought of having you two together, but things are different now. Since Bai Ling’s death, look at the state of the entire Mei family. The sons have either gone mad or turned into a wastrel, and Mei Shu has suffered so much in the countryside. Do you think she doesn’t have any resentment in her heart?”
“Mom, what do you mean?” Lu Yan looked at her intently.
Qin Qin spoke candidly, “Mei Shu must be back this time to seek revenge for herself and her brothers. She’s bound to use every means to take back what she lost from Wang Yue and Mei Mu. But such a girl will undoubtedly have sinister motives. I will never accept a scheming girl as my daughter-in-law, as it will only bring chaos to our Lu family!”
“Mom, even if Mei Shu wants revenge, deep down she is a kind and obedient girl. She’s not as cunning and ruthless as you imagine,” Lu Yan tried his best to persuade his mother to change her opinion of Mei Shu.
But Qin Qin remained unconvinced, “Don’t rush to speak up for her. If you don’t believe me, this incident will be the best testimony.”
“What?” Lu Yan stared at the news on the tablet that inverted black and white and suddenly understood his mother’s intention, “Are you trying to see through Mei Shu’s character based on this incident?”
“Yes,” Qin Qin neither confirmed nor denied, “If she doesn’t bite Wang Yue and her mother to death, I will agree to your association with her. But if she ends up exterminating them, I will never approve of any further development between you two.”
Her words were clear.
The crisis Mei Shu faced this time became Qin Qin’s test for her.
A test to see if she was qualified to become a daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
The problem was, Lu Yan had never thought about this question. He just wanted his mother to accept Mei Shu again, and he didn’t think too deeply about the implications behind it.
While he was lost in thought, upstairs, a tali figure suddenly walked from the light into the dark behind.
The man returned to his study and dialed a number on his phone.
“Jiang He, collect all the evidence about the Mei Shu incident online and send it to her. Let her handle it herself. You know what to do.”
On the other end of the phone, Jiang He quickly replied, “Master, rest assured, I will quickly help Miss Mei Shu clear her name.”
On the other side.
Mei Shu finally finished today’s tasks and lazily stretched her back.
After listening to the system’s reward announcement, she turned around slowly, only to meet her brother Mei Yan’s eyes, filled with complaint. She couldn’t help but chuckle, “Why are you staring at me like that? If you don’t finish your homework quickly, you’ll have to stay up late tonight!”
Mei Yan clenched the pencil in his hand and said indignantly, “Sister! How can you not be curious about what these people are saying about you online?” “Why should I be curious? What they are saying isn’t true!” Mei Shu shrugged nonchalantly and asked Zhao, the housekeeper, to bring up some fruits. “I told you, don’t worry. If 1 want to strike back, I’ll wait until they’re smug enough. That’s when I’ll make a really big move!”
Mei Yan truly admired his sister’s calmness.
If this were happening to him, he would definitely confront them head-on, regardless of the consequences!
