Chen Feng’s body stiffened, and he forced a somewhat ugly smile, “Miss is right. We should catch the bad guys early!”
“Yeah, Uncle Chen, join us for a meal.” Mei Shu held a tray in her hands, standing at the kitchen door, looking behind with a full smile.
Chen Feng waved his hands repeatedly, “How can i dare! This is what you prepared for Young Master. How can 1 eat it?”
Mei Shu sincerely invited him, “It’s okay. Now you eat and live in the Mei family. Actually, after so many years, you should consider this place your home. It’s just adding another set of tableware.”
Touched in his heart, Chen Feng’s face softened slightly. “Well, I’ll listen to Miss. Thank you for Miss’s hospitality.”
Mei Shu smiled without saying a word.
Chen Feng, very considerate, took the tray from her hands and placed it on the table in the dining room. “I’ll call Young Master down for dinner.”
“No need, I’m here.”
In the living room, Mei Jing had been sitting here for who knows how long. He heard the conversation in the kitchen clearly when he was lost and devastated.
Only now did he know that when he was in a state of confusion and despair, his sister was secretly worried about him.
Mei Jing stood up in shame, not daring to look at Mei Shu. He walked directly to the dining table and said, “Sister, thank you for doing so much for me. I’ve figured it out. Regardless of whether Mei Mu did it intentionally or not, the fact is that 1 injured her. 1 can’t escape from it. If she wants to use this to threaten you, Sister, please don’t agree. I’m willing to bear all the responsibility myself.”
Hearing this, Mei Shu sighed deeply.
She reached out and touched her brother’s head.
The boy had grown tall during junior high school, and Mei Jing was now taller than her. To touch his head, she had to tiptoe.
But Mei Jing obediently bent down to let her touch him, looking like a big dog wagging its tail to its beloved owner.
Mei Shu smiled happily, her eyes narrowed, “Our little Jing is the most sensible. But sister will still protect you. However, 1 won’t let Mei Mu take advantage. You don’t need to worry for me. If you can recover, I’ll be very happy. Okay, sit down and eat.”
Mei Jing nodded heavily.
Watching the deep affection between the siblings, Chen Feng, on the side, felt a bit sad.
He thought of his daughter, whom he hadn’t seen in so many years. She should be as tall as Miss Mei now, right?
“Uncle Chen, you also sit down and eat.” Mei Shu warmly invited him to sit in the vacant seat opposite them.
“Okay!” Chen Feng agreed with a sound, hiding the tears in the corners of his eyes. He ate this supper made by Mei Shu with complex emotions.
When Mei Jing went upstairs, he was still rubbing his belly with a cute expression, constantly praising, “Sister’s cooking is really good. If Yanyan knows that you only cooked for me, he will definitely be jealous!”
“Really? Then 1’11 cook supper for Yanyan alone tomorrow.” Mei Shu teased him.
Mei Jing immediately looked unhappy, “No, that won’t do! If you cook, you have to bring me my portion. Otherwise, I’ll snatch Yanyan’s portion!”
“Alright, 1 know. 1 will bring your portion.”
The two siblings talked and laughed, walking upstairs. When they were about to turn the corner, Mei Shu, seemingly inadvertently, glanced downstairs and saw Chen Feng still standing on the first floor, staring blankly at them.
She waved to Chen Feng and smiled sweetly, but when she reached a place where Chen Feng couldn’t see her, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace.
Mei Jing inexplicably felt that his sister’s mood was very low. He tentatively asked, “Sister, is there something wrong with Uncle Chen?”
Mei Shu was surprised by her brother’s sensitivity but shook her head, “No, I just feel that Uncle Chen is quite pitiful. If we can help him find his biological daughter and let them meet, that would be good.”
Mei Jing understood and smiled, “So, sister wants to do a good deed. What’s difficult about that? With our family’s connections, who can’t we find? Besides, even if we can’t find it, we can ask Brother-in-law for help!”
Mei Shu smacked her lips and stared at him gloomily. “You call him brother-in-law so easily. Don’t you have any psychological burden of selling your sister?”
Mei Jing smiled annoyingly. “How can that be? 1 can tell that Master Si treats Sister very well. I’m so envious that 1 want to find a girlfriend!”
“How dare you fall in love at such a young age?” Mei Shu pinched his ears and threatened him majestically.
Mei Jing begged for mercy, “I was wrong, Sister. Let go quickly, my ears are about to fall off! You even blame me for being in puppy love when you’re not even eighteen yet!”
“Then, I’m older than you!” Mei Shu stood tall, full of pride.
Mei Jing laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. His body naturally leaned towards her to reduce the pain in his ears.
Mei Yan, disturbed by his laughter, opened the door angrily and scolded, “Mei Jing, what’s the problem with you, laughing so loudly late at night!”
After saying this, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, “Wait, have you finally walked out of the shadow?”
