Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Shu readily agreed; she was eager to regain her memories, and meeting Shen Yuan’s grandmother might trigger some recollection of how Mei Shu and Shen Yuan had become acquainted in this life.
Lu Si felt a bit neglected, and it didn’t sit well with him.
However, he wasn’t throwing a tantrum like a child. He just stayed silent, his expression not looking too good.
Shen Yuan observed this and couldn’t help but marvel at what made Mei Shu so unique. She wondered how Mei Shu managed to make the usually aloof Master Si so fond of her.
With these thoughts, Shen Yuan grew more curious about Mei Shu.
After dinner, the two girls had already become close friends who talked about everything.
Lu Si, unable to join the conversation, simply followed behind in silence.
Once they got into the car, it seemed like they still had countless things to talk about. Lu Si sat alone in the front passenger seat, while the two girls chatted endlessly in the back.
Initially, Shen Yuan thought Mei Shu might be so warm because she wanted to inquire about Lu Si’s childhood.
However, she later discovered that Mei Shu was genuinely interested in her.
Their conversation continued to revolve around Shen Yuan.
Before they reached Shen’s house, Mei Shu had already learned everything about Shen Yuan’s preferences and birthday.
For a moment, Shen Yuan felt like she was back in her school days.
At that time, she told her best friend everything. Although she felt it was a pity that they had fewer contact after graduation, she had to admit that that period of time was indeed the happiest period of time for her.
Unbeknownst to herself, Shen Yuan’s guard against Mei Shu had quietly dissipated.
Friendship between girls could be pure and simple.
When Mei Shu followed Shen Yuan to the Shen family home, Shen Yuan introduced Mei Shu to her grandmother naturally, referring to her as a good friend.
At that moment, the old lady was sitting on the sofa, wearing thick reading glasses, flipping through a newspaper in boredom. Startled by the arrival of guests, she quickly put on her glasses, carefully examining them.
“Hello, Grandma.” Mei Shu and Lu Si politely greeted her together.
The old lady was momentarily stunned, staring at Lu Si for a while before saying, “Is this the young lad from the Lu family? Oh my, you’re even more handsome in person than in the newspapers! Come here, let Grandma take a good look!”
Lu Si awkwardly pulled the corners of his mouth. “Grandma, long time no see. How have you been lately?”
“Oh, I’m fine! Thank you. Our two families are really fated. I fell in the amusement park, and it just so happened that you saved me!” The old lady greeted Lu Si with a smile, and from her complexion, it seemed that her health had indeed improved.
“Grandma, it wasn’t me who saved you that day.” Lu Si briefly explained what happened that day and then looked at Mei Shu. “This is the kind-hearted girl from that day.”
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately smiled kindly, beckoning Mei Shu to sit beside her. “Good child, you have a lovely appearance. Yuanyuan said that day, a girl and Lu Si saved me together. After waking up in the hospital, 1 didn’t see you, and I thought 1 might never have the chance to thank you in person.”
“Grandma, it was just a small favor. You don’t need to thank me.” Mei Shu obediently let the old lady hold her hand.
She thought that Shen Yuan’s grandmother was indeed kind, and she must cherish her granddaughter very much. It was different from her own grandmother, who only had eyes and thoughts for Mei Mu.
“Good child, how can I not express gratitude to you? If good people don’t get good returns, who would dare to help an old person lying on the ground in the future?” The old lady sighed deeply. “If it weren’t for you, 1 might have missed the best time for rescue that day. How could I sit here so well now?”
Mei Shu’s eyes welled with tears as she thought of herself lying on the roadside in her previous life.
If it weren’t for Shen Yuan that day, she might have tragically died on the street.
“Grandma, you really don’t need to thank me. Saving you was already satisfying for me.” Mei Shu sincerely said.
The old lady didn’t expect that the girl really wanted to do good without expecting anything in return. She looked at Mei Shu with even more kindness. “Young people as good as you are hard to come by nowadays. It’s Yuanyuan’s luck to have a friend like you, and it’s my luck too.”
During the conversation, the old lady seemed to notice Lu Si by her side for the first time. She said to Shen Yuan, “1 want to chat with this girl alone. You and your boyfriend can stroll around our house.”
“Huh?” Everyone present was momentarily surprised.
The old lady clearly felt the girl next to her stiffen. She anxiously asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?”
Mei Shu shook her head.
But before she could speak, Shen Yuan hurriedly explained, “Grandma, Lu Si is Mei Shu’s boyfriend.”
“What did you say? Isn’t he your fiance? I’ve seen it in the news on TV!” The old lady picked up the newspaper she had just thrown on the coffee table, pointing to one of the news articles.. “Look, it’s all reported in the newspaper!
