Chapter 589: Housewarming Party
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Household items for the siblings were plentiful, but thankfully, the servants at the Mei residence, all of whom had benefited from Mei Shu’s kindness, were willing to continue working for her. This saved Mei Shu the trouble of finding movers again.
After finishing the busy tasks, she distributed bonuses to everyone, which were quite generous.
Chen Feng also returned to the kitchen as the head chef.
After experiencing the events from last time, he had seen Chen Guo’s true colors and decided not to disturb her and her mother anymore. He chose to stay and work here, focusing on living his own life.
On the day when everything was thoroughly cleaned up, Mei Shu hosted a small celebration party at home. All the servants of the Mei family attended, and besides them, Mei Shu only invited Lu Si, Wen Miao, and Lin He.
Lu Yan was preparing to go abroad, and although Mei Shu invited him, he claimed to be very busy and declined.
In the evening, everyone gathered together to eat and drink, and the restaurant was filled with continuous laughter as they got to know each other better.
Wen Miao had heard Mei Shu mention Lin He before, and now they finally met. Wen Miao took the initiative to extend her hand and said, “Lin He, nice to meet you. I’m Mei Shu’s classmate.”
“Hello.” After shaking hands, Lin He handed her a glass of juice and asked, “I heard that today happens to be the day the college entrance examination results come out. How did you do this time?”
Upon hearing this, Wen Miao hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth.
!!..
With a puzzled look, Lin He blinked and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t say?”
Wen Miao made a “shh” gesture to her and leaned in, saying, “This is a surprise I’m going to give to Shu Er later! Don’t ask now; I’ll tell you later!”
Lin He nodded in realization. After exchanging a glance with Wen Miao, they both tacitly understood the results of this college entrance examination.
“Miao Miao! Sister Lin He!” Mei Shu pushed aside her two brothers who were constantly playing in front of her and waved to them, “Come over and try the pizza that Uncle Chen just made. It’s much better than what’s sold outside!”
“It’s good as long as Miss likes it.” Chen Feng blushed slightly and lowered his head. Seeing Mei Shu’s cup empty, he took the initiative to refill it for her.
Mei Shu quickly smiled, “Please sit down. Let’s celebrate together today, there’s no need to be so polite.”
“Alright.” Chen Feng gratefully sat down and accepted the chopsticks handed to him by Zhao Yan. Looking at the table full of steaming delicious food in front of him, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
There was a time when he envied others being able to sit together as a family and eat happily. That scene was so warm that he eagerly wanted to see his daughter and cook a table of her favorite dishes for her with his own hands.
But when he really saw it, he realized that such happiness was not easily attainable for everyone.
Yet, at this moment, this wish of his miraculously came true.
He truly regarded Mei Shu and the others as his own family.
“Uncle Chen, please eat.” The boys of the Mei family, usually quite carefree, were now very attentive in taking care of his emotions.
Chen Feng was so grateful that he almost burst into tears on the spot. He forced himself not to embarrass himself by crying and kept stuffing food into his mouth.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Wen Miao casually picked up a paper cup as a microphone, walked to the head of the table, and shouted loudly, “Everyone, I have an excellent piece of news to announce!”
Others stopped eating, surprised by her sudden announcement, while Butler Zhao watched them with a smile.
Mei Yan urged anxiously, “Miao Miao, what’s the good news? Hurry up and tell us!”
Wen Miao cleared her throat and finally stopped teasing. She announced loudly, “Today, the college entrance examination results are out! Our Mei Shu is…”
“The provincial top scorer,” Lu Si calmly finished her sentence.
For a moment, the restaurant erupted in excited cheers.
Butler Zhao walked over and gave Mei Shu a big hug, tears streaming down his face. “That’s great, that’s great! Madam in heaven must be able to rest in peace now!”
Mei Shu quickly handed him a tissue, saying, “Butler Zhao, please wipe your tears. It’s just doing well on an exam; in the future, I’ll become an even more successful person, making both you and my mom happy!”
“All! Alright! I believe in Miss!” Butler Zhao looked at Mei Shu with a face full of contentment.
Lu Si pursed his lips, thought for a moment, but couldn’t resist pulling Mei Shu behind him and casually took out another piece of paper to hand over.
Butler Zhao chuckled and said, “Master Si, this is Miss whom I’ve watched grow up since childhood.”
Lu Si awkwardly held his fist near his mouth and coughed, “I know.”
Then why are you jealous?
Zhao Yan helplessly moved aside, continuing to eat his meal.
After sending away Uncle Zhao, who was hugging his girlfriend, Lu Si felt that there remained an intense gaze shadowing him.
Lu Si helplessly turned his head back and met Wen Miao’s eyes, full of anger.
“Do you know that I’ve been holding in this surprise for Shu’er the entire day?” Wen Miao angrily grabbed Lu Si’s collar.
For the first time, someone other than Mei Shu dared to treat him like this!
