Lu Ting snorted coldly, unkindly saying, “Enough, 1 know that girl is about to take the college entrance exam. 1’11 let it slide this time, but if you help her again next time, the Mei family will belong to me.”

Lu Si raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, smiling slightly, and proactively poured a cup of hot tea for the old man, saying, “Grandpa, why don’t you try this tea?”

The old man, accustomed to good things all his life, didn’t take it seriously at first.

But when the rich aroma of the tea entered his mouth, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Lu Si explained with a smile, “This is the tea Shu’er just sent yesterday. 1 asked our tea master at home to brew it several times before bringing out the full aroma. It’s quite good, isn’t it?”

As soon as Lu Ting heard that the tea was from Mei Shu, the surprise on his face faded, he put down the teacup with a disdainful expression, “Average, nothing special.”

Lu Si suppressed a smile and showed a very regretful expression, “Well, then 1’11 return it to Mei Shu, let her give it to her brothers to drink. It’s just a pity. 1 heard this tea is quite effective, it helps with sleep and nourishment, it can make you sleep more soundly than the medicines on the market.”

At these words, Lu Ting narrowed his eyes instantly, pretending not to care, snorting, “Could this tea be fit for immortals to drink? You make it sound so effective. It might just be something randomly bought online, brought here to fool an old man like me!”

“It’s not like that.” Lu Si took the tea leaves handed over by the butler while explaining, “This tea was personally blended by Mei Shu, with many carefully selected ingredients. You can’t buy it on the market.”

Lu Ting scoffed, “She blended it herself? How would a young girl just reaching adulthood know how to blend good tea? She probably just followed some online recipe. Take it away, take it away, I don’t want to drink it. 1 want to live a few more years.”

With that, he got up, leaning on his cane and went upstairs, “I’m going to take a nap in my room. Don’t let anyone disturb me unless it’s important.”

“Okay, Grandpa.” Lu Si replied, taking the tea leaves and leaving.

To his surprise, that night, Lu Ting sat on the sofa with keen eyes, waiting for him to return.

Seeing his questioning look, under his stern gaze, Lu Si sat next to him obediently, asking strangely, “Grandpa, were you waiting for me?”

Lu Ting withdrew his gaze lightly and asked casually, “Did you go to see Mei Shu again?”

“Yes.” Lu Si didn’t have the slightest intention of hiding it from him.

Lu Ting snorted disdainfully and asked seemingly casually, “The butler said you listened to me and returned the tea leaves to Mei Shu?”

“Yes, Grandpa, since you don’t like it.” Lu Si picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, using it to cover up the smile about to overflow from his lips.

Lu Ting cleared his throat and said stiffly, “Oh, last time she gave me a painting, I was thinking of accepting her tea, giving her some face to return her favor.”

Lu Si smiled understandingly, “Grandpa, it’s okay. Mei Shu carefully researched and blended the tea herself. If you really don’t like it, you don’t have to force yourself. It’s a waste to keep it. Let her drink it herself.”

Lu Ting gave him a sideways glance, his expression unfriendly, “Did she say anything when she received the tea?”

“No.” Lu Si was puzzled, “Should she have said something?”

“Hmph.” Lu Ting left arrogantly.

In the following days, he always had a look of wanting to say something but holding it back.

Lu Si saw it but pretended not to, and since Lu Ting didn’t mention it, he never brought the topic back to the tea leaves.

The old man had been holding back his anger recently, making the whole family uneasy. Even Lu Li didn’t dare to act rashly. He went straight to the study after work to continue working overtime.

Until one night, when a loud thunder suddenly sounded outside, Lu Ting, unable to bear it, sat up from his bed with a pair of pitch-black panda eyes, his anger suddenly reaching its peak.

The next morning, Lu Ting dressed neatly and sat on the sofa in the living room, leisurely drinking tea.

The peaceful scene seemed serene, but underneath it was a surging undercurrent.

Lu Si adjusted his tie and came downstairs, coincidentally meeting the old man’s tired and deep eyes.

He walked over quickly, as usual, showing concern, “Grandpa, did you not rest well last night?”

The old man lowered his head, staring at the teapot on the table with a heavy voice, “Have Mei Shu prepare some more of the tea leaves from last time, I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately.”

Lu Si looked helpless, “Grandpa, you forgot, Mei Shu has the college entrance exam today. She hasn’t had time to prepare the tea leaves these past few days.”

Lu Ting “oh”ed, a trace of unnaturalness flickering across his face, “Then whenever she’s free, let her prepare the tea for me.”

“Okay, Grandpa, 1’11 pass on your message.” Lu Si was about to leave.

Lu Ting watched his brisk departing figure, suddenly recalling something from many years ago, and called out, “Ah Si, wait.”

Lu Si paused, turning his head to wait for his words.

However, Lu Ting shook his head and said, “Never mind, you can go. And tell Mei Shu to take the exam seriously. Don’t embarrass you..”
