Mei Yun’s words made it clear that he had made up his mind, and he wouldn’t change it.

Mrs. Mei understood her son better than anyone else and knew that nothing she said now would change his decision. She decided not to waste her breath and glared at Mei Shu with irritation. She was angry that Mei Shu had come and caused her to lose millions. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, upon careful thought, as long as Mei Yun was there, she wouldn’t have to worry about money. So, she didn’t need to hold on to this matter so tightly.

In the end, she just cared about Mei Mu. She was willing to spend as much money as needed for Mei Mu.

She just didn’t want Mei Shu to get her way.

“Move aside.” Mrs. Mei pushed Mei Shu aside, not caring that they were on a high staircase. In fact, she seemed to wish that Mei Shu would fall and die.

Mei Shu didn’t care about her attitude. She just needed to achieve her goal.

Mei Yun sighed as he watched, and he reached out to support Mei Shu’s shoulder. “Your grandmother is like this. It will get better in the future. Don’t argue with her. After all, she’s a seventy-year-old woman.”

“I know, Dad. As long as you don’t want me to be wronged, no one can make me feel wronged,” Mei Shu replied, looking at him with shining eyes.

Mei Yun felt ashamed when he looked into his daughter’s trusting eyes.

He couldn’t face Mei Shu any longer and simply nodded before hurrying to catch up with his mother.

After they left, Mei Yan and Mei Jing finally showed themselves.

Mei Yan gently held Mei Shu’s hand. Clearly, he had heard everything that the old woman had said earlier. “Sister, don’t stoop to that old hag’s level. How many more years does she have left?”

Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh at his words and playfully flicked his forehead. “You’re still young, why are you saying such things? Go back to your room and do your homework. You’ve wasted so much time; you need to catch up later.” “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Sister!” Mei Yan sweetly smiled and left hand in hand with Mei Shu. But halfway there, he remembered that he had a brother behind him and suddenly stopped.

Mei Shu turned to him curiously and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mei Yan, with a grumpy face, pointed at Mei Jing. “Brother should listen to Sister too and not slack off anymore!”

Mei Jing glared at him. “When did 1 slack off? I’ve improved a lot during this time!”

“Mei Jing, are your exams coming up soon?” Mei Shu asked carefully. “Which days?”

Mei Jing lowered his head in disappointment. “It’s this Thursday and Friday, two days of exams.”

Mei Shu patted his shoulder understandingly. “Don’t worry. After putting in so much effort for such a long time, you will definitely see significant improvements. I’m sure you’ve made progress.”

“I hope so.” In fact, Mei Jing didn’t have much confidence in his own grades. After all, he knew too well how bad his previous grades were.

Even though he worked hard for a month, he couldn’t possibly break into the top ranks all at once; he was still far behind his sister for sure.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh, looking like a dejected puppy with drooping ears and tail.

Mei Shu smiled and took out a lollipop from her pocket, handing it to him. “Don’t be disheartened. Have candy and keep working hard. You can do it; just do your best.”

“I’m too old for candy. Give it to Mei Yan.” Mei Jing blushed and declined.

Mei Yan, on the other hand, upon hearing Mei Jing’s refusal, immediately tore open the candy wrapper, popped it into his mouth, and grinned, “Sister, it’s so sweet! With this lollipop, I can study for another three hours!”

“Good, you’re the best.” Mei Shu laughed and held his hand, leading him back to their room.

Mei Jing followed behind, feeling dejected. Suddenly, he stepped on something on the ground. He stopped and looked down, only to realize that it was the same lollipop as the one Mei Yan had just eaten.

Mei Shu was still thinking of him.

This realization made him involuntarily curl up the corners of his mouth.

He picked up the candy, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to eat it right away. So he put it in his pocket and returned to his room to study diligently.

Although this exam was not as important as the college entrance exam or the previous mock exams, it was still a good indicator of the students’ current academic performance.

The teachers of the entire grade took this exam very seriously, and the monitoring and security measures were on par with those of the college entrance exam.

Under their strict supervision, no student dared to cheat.

After the two-day exam ended, the students breathed a sigh of relief but immediately plunged back into intense revision. Each completed exam brought them one step closer to the college entrance exam.

On the weekend, after Mei Shu finished her study tasks early, she headed out to check on Mei He. Unexpectedly, she ran into Lu Si’s car at the door.

When the car window rolled down, Lu Si’s poker face appeared.

“Where are you going?”

Mei Shu smiled and said, “Go take a look at my younger brother.”

“Get in,” Lu Si’s tone brooked no argument.

Mei Shu sighed and opened the car door, sitting down next to Lu Si. “Aren’t you busy with work today?”

Lu Si gave her a deep look and, before Mei Shu could react, he said slowly, “Not busy. I can take you. Just tell me the address..”
