Mei Mu stole a glance at Mei Yun’s expression and pretended to sympathize as she came to rescue Mei Jing from her grasp.
“Mei Shu, Mei Jing has been at home all day today, behaving well and causing no trouble. Please let him go!”
“I’m disciplining Mei Jing, and you don’t need to interfere. Besides, if you guys are capable of teaching him well, I wouldn’t have to do anything.” Mei Shu spoke without any courtesy.
A trace of anger flashed in Mei Mu’s eyes. “It’s unfortunate that my brothers have such a violent sister who loves to beat people.”
“Sister is doing it for our own good!” Little Mei Yan couldn’t stand others talking about Mei Shu that way. He stood with his hands on his hips and argued with Mei Mu, defending Mei Shu with reason.
Although he was young, he was not stupid.
He could tell who genuinely cared for him.
His sister wanted both him and his brother to have a bright future, and he couldn’t let others maliciously disparage his sister and break her heart!
It wasn’t enough for Mei Jing to speak up alone. Mei Yan, with a pouting face, anxiously pushed Mei Jing, who was still gasping for breath, and said, “Brother, say something for Sister. Sister is doing it for your own good! It’s because you were lazy and didn’t listen!”
Mei Jing:”…”
Clearly, he was the victim here!
This heartless little brat! He had been so good to him for nothing!
He actually wanted the victim to speak up for the perpetrator. How was that fair?
He was almost suffocated by her!
But…
“Sis, I won’t be lazy anymore. Please spare me this time!”
The words of submission suddenly came out of Mei Jing’s mouth.
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise, loosening her grip, and Mei Jing immediately straightened up, rubbing his reddened neck in discomfort.
When their eyes met, Mei Jing averted his gaze in guilt, and his ears turned suspiciously red, showing a hint of irritation. “I… I do know my mistakes! I’ll finish the tasks before going to sleep! I promise!”
“Good. Mei Shu knows how to teach!” Mei Yun had been watching the siblings argue with a cold gaze. When he heard Mei Jing’s submission and commitment to study, he immediately smiled with gratification. “With you around, these brats finally have someone to keep them in line.”
“It’s what I should do as the eldest sister.” Mei Shu didn’t think much of it. She sat next to her father and started eating, as if she didn’t notice Wang Yue’s pale face.
Having been married into the Mei family for so many years, Wang Yue had put in her efforts and sacrifices. But Mei Yun was praising Mei Shu’s actions in her presence, which was basically telling her that even a child could do better than her.
Wang Yue felt as if she had been slapped in the face invisibly, and a sense of shame gradually tinged her eyes red.
However, she was skilled in maintaining a facade and never exposed these inappropriate emotions in front of Mei Yun. She smiled in agreement and personally served soup to Mei Yun. “Honey, I knew it was a good thing to bring the young miss back! You didn’t misunderstand my words this time, right?”
“Yes, you indeed considered it thoughtfully.” Mei Yun responded softly. He enjoyed the harmonious atmosphere of the family and the consistent efforts of Wang Yue to please him.
Mei Mu also realized and intentionally went to Mei Yun’s other side, serving him food. “Dad, although Mei Shu is good at teaching, she will be taking the college entrance exam soon. She should prioritize her own studies. There are only three months left, but her grades haven’t improved.”
She wanted to remind Mei Yun that, despite Mei Shu’s ability to teach her two younger brothers, her own grades were terrible.
Only she, Mei Mu, was the most promising daughter of the Mei family!
“Mumu is right.” Mei Yun turned to Mei Shu with concern. “How have you been doing at school recently? Are you keeping up with the teacher’s pace?”
“The teacher has prepared a special review plan for me, and I’ve been following it every day.” Mei Shu answered calmly.
Mei Yun nodded with satisfaction. “As long as you’re willing to work hard, don’t worry. Even if you don’t get into your ideal university, I will find a solution for you.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Mu clenched her teeth in frustration and continued to provoke, “Since Sister is weak in the foundation, she should focus on her studies to improve her grades quickly. But I heard that a few nights ago, she went to a cake shop with a guy for afternoon tea. Could it be her boyfriend?”
Upon hearing this, Mei Yun’s gentle smile faded, and his eyes became stern. “Is what Mumu said true?”
Not only him but even Mei Jing and Mei Yan were incredulously looking over.
Could it be that their devilish sister actually had a boyfriend?
But upon closer inspection, their sister was indeed very beautiful, so it was normal for boys to pursue her, right?
However, for some reason, Mei Yan felt uncomfortable in his heart. He hesitated and tugged at her sleeve. “Sister, do I really have a brother-in-law?”
Mei Jing also had the gesture of wanting to ask but feeling embarrassed. In the end, he just wore a sulky face, with the words “It’s none of my business” written on his forehead. But his pair of ears standing upright betrayed his current mood..
