“Have you recovered?” Lu Ting asked in a gentle tone.
Mei Shu nodded, “I’m all better, thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu.”
Lu Ting smiled satisfactorily.
Mei Shu smiled and greeted Su Zhi under Lu Si’s introduction, “Hello, Grandpa Su.”
Lu Ting’s smile suddenly froze at the corners of his mouth.
Su Zhi waved her over, “You’re Si’s girlfriend, right? Su Ling told me your name is Mei Shu.”
“Yes.” Mei Shu sat down generously and chatted very congenially with the old man.
Lu Ting’s expression became increasingly ugly, and he couldn’t help but cough lightly, “Okay, I haven’t acknowledged your status as All Si’s girlfriend yet, so stop calling me Grandpa Su so naturally.”
“What’s the big deal? Even if 1 were an ordinary girl, when meeting someone of our age, should 1 not call them Grandpa? Should I call them uncle instead?”
Su Zhi seemed to be an especially cheerful old man, quite the opposite of Lu Ting.
Mei Shu liked this old man very much and replied with a smile, “As long as Grandpa Su doesn’t mind, I can continue calling you that in the future. You can also call me Shu’er. I didn’t know you were coming today, so I didn’t bring a gift, I’ll make sure to bring one next time.”
“This child, 1 should be giving you the gift.” Su Zhi took out a small box from his pocket.
Mei Shu thought he would be as straightforward as Lu Ting and just hand her a bank card, but to her surprise, he took out a gold ring from inside.
Su Zhi placed it in Mei Shu’s hand with a solemn expression, “This is a gift that my wife and I prepared for our future granddaughter-in-law. I thought this thing would rot in my hands and never be given out, but now that I see you, I’m truly happy. Ah Si has never wanted to get close to people since he was young. Now that he has you, 1 feel relieved. This is my gift to you. Please accept it.”
This old man’s temperament was indeed different from Lu Ting’s bad temper.
Mei Shu could already imagine how gentle Lu Si’s mother must have been.
That’s why sometimes Lu Si wouldn’t be so domineering; he might seem cold on the outside, but he actually cared a lot about the people around him.
This was one of the reasons Mei Shu liked him the most.
“Thank you, Grandpa Su. 1 really like this gift of yours.”
For a moment, the old and the young looked at each other, their eyes filled with affection.
Lu Ting impatiently cleared his throat, “Alright, it’s time for dinner. Since Mei Shu is here, let’s eat together. My Lu family won’t be stingy about a meal.”
Mei Shu agreed and helped Su Grandpa up, handing over the tea she brought today, “Grandpa Su, this is a tea I personally blended. It can calm the mind and help you sleep well at night. Take it back and taste it with Grandma. If you like it, 1’11 prepare it for you every month in the future.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ting’s eyes were fixated on that box of tea!
What was going on with Mei Shu?
Wasn’t this tea specially made for him?
His expression suddenly soured, and he reminded her with a stern face, “Mei Shu, I’ve run out of tea.”
“I know, Mr. Lu. How did you find the taste of the tea you’ve been drinking recently?”
Lu Ting glared at her fiercely but avoided her eyes, “It’s not that great.”
Mei Shu said gracefully, “Then Mr. Lu, you should continue to drink the tea available on the market. This tea’s taste is indeed more niche, and if you can’t accept it, 1 won’t force it.”
“You!” Lu Ting was so angry that he couldn’t speak softly, snorted, and left with a wave of his hand.
Su Zhi followed behind, laughing heartily, “Don’t mind him, that’s just his bad temper. No one can stand him!”
Mei Shu smiled and agreed, “You’re the kindest grandpa I’ve ever seen. Ah Si’s personality is very much like yours.”
“He’s nothing like me!” Su Zhi quickly distanced himself, “This brat inherited the personality of the Lu family. He’s usually as cold as ice, but he’s actually more proud than anyone else in his heart. If he had his mother’s personality, I wouldn’t worry so much about him being unwanted.”
“Old man, what nonsense are you talking about?” Lu Ting stopped in his tracks, turned around, and glared at them, “My grandson is so outstanding, how could he possibly be unwanted? Many girls are lining up to marry him!”
As he said this, his eyes occasionally glanced at Mei Shu, the meaning was quite obvious, he deliberately said it for her to hear.
Lu Si was worried that Mei Shu would be angry and was about to say something to explain, but Su Zhi smilingly continued, “Come on, I know him well. It’s just because of our status and identity. Without this halo, with his personality, he probably wouldn’t be able to make any friends. I think children with Shu’er’s personality are better, they can make good friends wherever they go.”
“Grandpa Su, you’re overestimating me.” Mei Shu hurriedly said modestly.
But Su Zhi nodded in agreement, “I have a good eye for people. You’re a good child.. If All Si bullies you or makes you feel wronged, just tell grandpa, and i’ll take care of it!”
