Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She wanted to force Lin Wei to lose her cool and court death again. Only then would she have a chance to catch hold of her and Sheng Quan’s weakness and threaten Sheng Quan to tell the truth about what he saw in the car accident.
Lu Si understood what she was going to do and nodded. “You’re very smart and know how to control people’s hearts.”
Mei Shu smiled bitterly and didn’t explain anything.
In fact, she was not such a scheming person. It was just that she had been deceived and hurt too much in her previous life that she was trying to protect herself and the people around her.
Seeing the bitterness in her eyes, Lu Si thought that what he said made her sad, so he hurriedly changed his words. “I don’t mean anything else. I just want to say that you are more mature than girls your age.”
He just wanted to comfort Mei Shu, but he didn’t realize that he had unintentionally touched her sensitive spot.
Her mood plummeted again.
Lu Si felt guilty but, being used to his usual cold and sarcastic demeanor, he didn’t know how to console her. He could only call out, “Jiang He, come in!”
Jiang He opened the door immediately, and then felt the subtle atmosphere inside. “Master Si, did you call me?”
“Yeah, the food has gotten cold. Get the waiter to bring in a menu and let Mei Shu order something she likes.”
“Oh, okay.” Jiang He was about to leave.
Mei Shu quickly interrupted, “No need, I’m done eating. I’ll cover this meal since you helped me again. It’s almost time for class; 1’11 head back to school now. Let’s meet another day.”
“You’re leaving already?”
Lu Si stood up reluctantly and took a few steps after her.
Mei Shu looked at him helplessly. “There’s no need to send me off. I’ll take a cab there myself. You must be busy with your company. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
She was really not in the mood. She just wanted to be alone, so she didn’t look at Lu Si’s expression. After saying this, she hurried away.
Jiang He took the initiative to come over and ask, “Master Si, are you really not going to send Miss Mei off?”
“No need.”
Lu Si sat down expressionlessly and began to eat again, but after only a few bites, he threw the chopsticks away in frustration. “Jiang He, do you know what to do to appease people if you say something wrong?”
Jiang He had been standing by, sweating nervously. He was relieved to hear Lu Si finally asking a question and replied, “Mr. Si, girls can be appeased with gifts!”
“Who told you it was a girl?” Lu Si glared at him warningly.
Jiang He immediately changed his words. “It’s the same for men.” As long as it was someone you liked, it was the same! Master Si was domineering and powerful. No matter who he was with, he would definitely be in charge!
“Are you like that too?” Lu Si asked thoughtfully.
Jiang He asked, “Huh? What did you just say?” Why was this related to him?
“Nothing.” Lu Si retracted his gaze calmly.
It was Jiang He’s turn to lose his cool. “Master Si, did I hear it right just now? Are you asking me…”
Lu Si suddenly raised his head and looked at him murderously.
Jiang He quickly shut his mouth. “Nothing. 1 didn’t hear anything just now, and you didn’t say anything!”
“Good,” Lu Si replied coldly. “Later, go to the store and pick out a watch. I want to give it to someone.”
How could Jiang He dare to object?
He had earned Mr. Si’s trust over the years for a reason!
That was primarily due to his high efficiency in getting things done!
In the afternoon, he had just returned Lu Si to the company, and within no time, he had personally selected a women’s watch and brought it to the CEO’s office.
To his surprise, Lu Si looked at the watch and seemed somewhat displeased. “It looks too plain. Go pick a nicer one and bring it to me.”
Jiang He looked at the watch that had been returned, worth six figures, and swallowed hard, then said, “Alright, Master Si, I’ll go pick a better one. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!”
Lu Si continued to work on the documents with lowered eyes, clearly showing no intention of engaging with him.
Jiang He, recognizing the situation, wisely withdrew. In less than an hour, he returned, holding a watch box and asked, “Mr. Si, do you like this one?”
Lu Si glanced in that direction and instantly knew that Jiang He had picked the most expensive watch from the store. He nodded in satisfaction and said, “This one will do. Go ahead and deliver it to Mei Shu.”
“Alright,” Jiang He responded without surprise and nodded.
Lu Si furrowed his brow and added, “Actually, never mind. Put it down. I’ll deliver it myself later. It just so happens 1 have something to discuss with the school principal on my way.”
Jiang He was left speechless and couldn’t help but smirk inwardly, seeing right through Lu Si’s intentions.
Master Si was known for his ruthless decisiveness in managing the company, but he had no idea he was so pure and tsundere in matters of romance.
Despite all the complaining and the time he had spent on this, it was all to personally deliver the watch to apologize.
Jiang He understood the situation but knew he still had to complete the task effectively. After all, if Miss Mei rejected Master Si, he’d be the first to face Mr.. Si’s wrath!
