Chapter 425: Important Nodes
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the trial.
Lu Si took Mei Shu to the court.
After these two days of interaction, he noticed that Mei Shu’s emotional expressions were more apparent now. Compared to her previous poker face and hidden agenda behind her smiles, the current Mei Shu was much easier to understand.
This further confirmed Lu Si’s previous thoughts.
Mei Shu must have hidden some secret that outsiders wouldn’t know, and it was very likely this secret that caused Mei Shu to lose part of her memories.
But what was the secret?
Last night, Lu Si thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out, so he planned to ask directly today.
But it was obvious that Mei Shu didn’t know much more about herself than Lu Si.
Leaning against the car door, she lowered her head and thought for a long time, but she couldn’t figure it out.
Lu Si could only guide her patiently.
“Perhaps we can try to sort out the nodes of change. For example, in your memory, did anything unusual happen after you were sent to the countryside?”
Mei Shu thought about it carefully and said, “No. When 1 was in the countryside, I was often bullied by Old Wang, played with Chu Rui, and then was bullied by other children.”
Lu Si felt his heart ache as he listened. He took a deep breath and said, “Continue.”
Mei Shu said dejectedly, “Nothing much. After that, Uncle Zhao took me back to Lin City and I went to No.i High School, but my results were not good. Mei Mu had been bullying me with a few lackeys, and my younger brothers didn’t like me either.”
“Wait!” Lu Si’s eyes lit up as he discovered the key to the problem. “This is completely different from what I know of you. Give me Butler Zhao’s number.”
“Okay.” Mei Shu did as he was told.
Lu Si quickly made a call and asked, “What happened on the first day Mei Shu was taken back to the Mei family?”
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment and asked in an incredulous tone, “Who are you?”
Lu Si suppressed his temper and said his name.
Zhao Yan’s attitude immediately changed drastically. He said with a smile on the phone, “Oh, so it’s Master Si. What did Miss do on the first day she came back… Let me think about it!”
“Think quickly.” Lu Si urged anxiously.
His intuition told him that he was about to grab something very important, so he, who had always been calm, lost his cool.
Zhao Yan could tell that he was anxious, so he didn’t dare to waste any more time. He quickly recalled and recounted, “I remember that on the day Missy came back, Wang Yue wanted to arrange a room for her and let her sleep in the guest room, but Missy argued and snatched the room that originally belonged to her from Mei Mu.”
“No!”
Mei Shu also discovered the problem.
Zhao Yan’s description was completely different from his memory.
She had clearly swallowed her anger that day and moved into the room arranged by Wang Yue. From then on, no servants at home would take her seriously. Except for Uncle Zhao, no one would treat her as the dignified eldest daughter of the Mei family.
Lu Si stared at her without blinking, his voice carrying an indescribable joy. “Continue.”
Zhao Yan could only continue to recall. “Then, Miss forced young masters to study and personally tutored the two young masters in their homework. It’s strange. Young masters really only listen to Miss! This might be because Miss’s own hard work infected them! Miss set an example. The two young masters are studying very seriously now!”
Mei Shu sweated.
If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, she wouldn’t have believed that she would personally tutor her two younger brothers.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she didn’t know how to do it at all!
But that didn’t make sense. The contents of the teacher’s lecture in the past two days were actually very simple for her. She could easily do a few sets of papers herself and didn’t encounter any questions that couldn’t be answered.
Could it be…
Mei Shu and Lu Si thought of the only possibility at the same time.
Perhaps something happened to her on the way back to Lin City by Zhao Yan, causing all her subsequent actions and choices to deviate from her memory.
At that time, Mei Shu didn’t submit and indulge in depravity as she remembered. Instead, she was actively motivated. Not only did she snatch back the room that belonged to her, but she also knew to urge her younger brothers to learn and make them better…
It was as if she knew what would happen next!
Mei Shu was shocked by the strange thought in her heart.
Lu Si thanked Zhao Yan softly and hung up the phone. He grabbed Mei Shu’s shoulder. “I think that’s the only possibility. Just like you now, don’t you know what will happen next?”
Mei Shu raised her head in a daze, and a creepy numbness instantly spread throughout her body. “Yes, if I were in the car Uncle Zhao took me back to Lin City now, I might have made the same decision as that me.”
“But.” Mei Shu relaxed her tense shoulders dejectedly. “This doesn’t make sense.. Even if 1 want to learn, it’s impossible for me to improve so much in such a short period of time!”
