Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mei Shu quickly changed the topic. “Actually, it doesn’t matter where you stay. It’s late today; you should go back and rest. I’ll come to find you tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Chu Rui’s expression was still not good, but he didn’t show any temper in front of Mei Shu. His dissatisfaction was directed solely at Lu Si.

After Chu Rui got out of the car, Lu Si hurriedly moved to the back seat. “It seems your friend has a big issue with me. 1 was just trying to help.”

Mei Shu understood his intentions and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “He and I are just good friends. Don’t say things like that next time; he will find it embarrassing.”

Lu Si felt a bit wronged. “I was also thinking for his sake. Is it so wrong for me to extend some courtesy on your behalf?”

Mei Shu sighed and didn’t say anything more, letting Jiang He drive her home first.

On the way, Lu Si took the bold move of holding Mei Shu’s hand, but she coldly avoided it.

He suddenly felt like an abandoned big dog, dejectedly lowering his head. If he had dog ears, they would have drooped sadly by now.

Mei Shu was amenable to persuasion but not coercion. She couldn’t bear it when someone showed such an expression in front of her.

Thinking that her tone had indeed been a bit harsh just now, she coughed lightly, rare for her to coax someone, “Don’t be like this. I didn’t mean to blame you. Chu Rui has a strong sense of pride, and we should consider that when treating him.”

The words “we” successfully pleased Lu Si. The corners of his mouth, suppressed earlier, subtly lifted, but he still looked quite aggrieved.

Mei Shu, in a daze, almost thought that the person sitting next to her had turned into Xiao Bao. Subconsciously, she placed her hand on his head.

The touch was good, and she couldn’t help rubbing it a few more times.

Lu Si’s body stiffened, and for a moment, he didn’t dare to move, afraid of disturbing Mei Shu’s protective gesture.

When she realized it herself, the atmosphere in the car had become a bit ambiguous.

She quickly withdrew her hand, pretending nothing had happened, and said, “Do you understand what 1 mean?”

“Completely understand.” Lu Si readily agreed.

Mei Shu suddenly felt a bit relieved.

But the next moment, she saw Lu Si tilting his head slightly, smiling somewhat proudly, “I’m richer than all the friends around you, so your male friends would feel inferior in front of me.”

Mei Shu was speechless, holding her forehead.

Brother, you got the emphasis wrong!

“What I mean is, don’t show off your wealth casually!”

“But is your friend so fragile that he can’t stand you having a boyfriend wealthier than him?” Lu Si innocently looked at her.

Mei Shu was suddenly choked by his words and couldn’t come up with a response.

Considering it from another perspective, if she saw a very wealthy man on her good friend’s side, and he always considered her friend’s feelings and well-being, she would probably be very happy.

With this in mind, Chu Rui’s attitude just now did seem a bit strange.

Mei Shu brought up another matter, asking, “Are you really coming with us tomorrow?”

“Of course, I also want to get to know your friend and learn about your past.” Lu Si said seriously, “I don’t want people to say that 1 don’t understand you anymore.”

“Who said that about you?” Mei Shu looked at him strangely.

Lu Si turned his head and didn’t say more.

The car steadily stopped at the entrance of Mei’s house.

Butler Zhao hurriedly came out from inside to greet them. “Miss, you’re finally back. Master and Madam have been waiting for you in the living room for a long time.”

“Grandmother is here too?” Mei Shu frowned. Seeing Butler Zhao’s hesitant appearance, she stood still in front of him. “Who else has come with her?”

Butler Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s Miss Mei Mu… Madam asked someone to bail Miss Mei Mu out. She was just brought back by Master in the car. She also saw Young Master Mei He…”

“Xiao He!” Mei Shu, worried that Mei Mu would say something to upset Mei He, hurriedly ran into the villa, forgetting to say goodbye to Lu Si.

Fortunately, Lu Si wasn’t going to hold it against her.

After closing the car door, Lu Si looked at his watch with a heavy expression. “Find out who took the money and released her early. 1 want to see them fall.”

“Yes, Master Si.” Jiang He turned his head and answered solemnly.

In the living room, Mei Mu was shrinking in Mrs. Mei’s arms, crying so much that she almost fainted. When she heard the commotion at the door, she raised her head, teary-eyed, and looked over.

Just this one look made Mei Shu stupefied.

According to reason, Mei Mu hadn’t reached adulthood yet, and even if she made a big mistake, she wouldn’t be sent to prison. At most, she would be undergoing rehabilitation in a juvenile detention center.

But in this short period, she had completely changed her appearance.

If the previous Mei Mu was a proud peacock, the current Mei Mu looked like a disheveled beggar, showing no trace of the vibrant and vigorous young girl from before.

It seemed she had indeed suffered a lot and gone through hardships during her time inside.

However, this was all her own fault.

Mei Shu found it less than satisfying..
