Chapter 167: The Favor of Saving My Life
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Shu and Mei Yun quickly got out of the car to check on the situation.
Lin Feng’s face was covered in blood, and he was unconscious, lying face down on the steering wheel. A large portion of the front of the car had caved in, and it looked like even if Lin Feng survived, he would likely be left with disabilities.
Mei Shu had no sympathy for him whatsoever.
He had brought harm upon others and himself, so no matter how dire his situation was now, it was his own doing.
After confirming that he was still alive with just a glance, she lost interest and went directly to the car that had saved them.
“All Si,” Mei Shu said, “Thank you.”
The car door was slowly opened from the inside.
Mei Shu had assumed that Jiang He was the one driving and Lu Si was sitting in the back. However, to her surprise, Jiang He was not in the car tonight. Lu Si had personally driven to her rescue.
When she saw the man calmly stepping out of the driver’s seat, Mei Shu couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Some people were naturally advantaged by their good looks.
“Master Si?” Without waiting for Mei Shu to speak, Mei Yun walked over in shock. “It’s actually Master Si who saved us! 1 don’t know how to thank you properly!”
“No need,” Lu Si replied in a cold tone but softened his gaze when it landed on Mei Shu again. “Shu Er and I are good friends. It was just a small favor.”
Mei Yun’s eyes moved back and forth between the two of them in disbelief.
Mei Shu felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze, so she quickly said, “I’ll treat you to dinner another day, Ah Si.”
“Sure,” Lu Si agreed readily, in a good mood as he opened the car door. “Your car is damaged, and it’s not safe to drive back like this. 1’11 take you home.”
“No, no, no, how could we let Master Si personally drive us home?” Mei Yun quickly took the initiative to drive, leaving Mei Shu to sit in the back with him.
Lu Si didn’t say anything.
Just then, an ambulance and police cars arrived simultaneously. Lu Si went over to talk to the police for a few moments and then returned to Mei Shu. “Alright, everything is in their hands now. Let’s go back.”
“Thank you so much!” Mei Yun took the car key and got ready to drive.
In the back seat, Lu Si curiously observed Mei Shu, who appeared calm. “You don’t seem to be frightened. What would you have planned to do if I hadn’t come?”
His intuition told him that Mei Shu must have had her own plan.
It was just that the situation had been urgent, and he didn’t want to wait any longer, so he impulsively intervened, taking action without thinking.
Mei Shu smiled apologetically. “I’m afraid 1 would have disappointed you. If you hadn’t come, I really wouldn’t have had any other options.”
Lu Si raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know how to drive?”
Mei Shu shook her head lightly. “1 haven’t learned yet.”
However, after experiencing tonight’s heart-pounding ordeal, learning to drive had to be on her agenda.
After she finished her college entrance exams, she would enroll in a driving school. Otherwise, if such a situation were to occur again, she might not be so lucky next time.
Lu Si remained silent on the matter. “Driving is a skill that everyone should possess. If you want, I can arrange for someone to teach you.”
“No need to trouble you,” Mei Shu replied. “Driving schools in the city are easy to find. I’ll just choose one at random to learn from.”
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt the air inside the car suddenly becoming thinner.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination or not, but she felt that the man beside her had turned cold after her last words.
But had she said anything offensive?
Even Mei Yun, who was driving the car, felt that the air pressure inside the car had suddenly dropped significantly. He was sweating profusely and nervously looked at the man in the rearview mirror. “Master Si, although learning to drive is not difficult, Shu Er is still a young girl. 1 wouldn’t feel at ease letting her go to a driving school alone. If Master Si could arrange for her, I would feel much more at ease, and Shu Er would be very happy too.”
Mei Shu gave her father a curious look.
Since when was her father so concerned about her?
Hadn’t he left her alone in the countryside for so many years without a word of concern?
Before she could react, the man beside her, who had just looked so serious, suddenly smiled gently and said, “Sure, 1 think arranging it myself would make her happier too.”
Mei Shu:”…”
What was there to be happy about?
But regardless of her thoughts, she decided not to say anything.
After all, this man had just saved her life, and she didn’t want to offend him now.
Furthermore, where she learned to drive and from whom she learned to drive were ultimately trivial matters.
Lu Si, seeing her readily accept, was in a better mood. “It’s not in vain that I’ve helped you so much tonight.”
Mei Shu thanked him with a smile. She had originally intended to lean against the window and rest after speaking, but she suddenly noticed a peculiar expression on Lu Si’s face. It was a smile that seemed to hold hidden meanings.
She couldn’t help but sit up straight, feeling a sense of unease. She had a nagging feeling that Lu Si’s help wasn’t as simple as it appeared.
Had she missed some crucial detail?
