Mei Yun sat on the nearby sofa, silently smoking a cigarette. When he saw Mei Shu enter, he extinguished the cigarette. Through the thick smoke, he said calmly, “You’re back. Greet your grandmother first.”

Expressionless, Mei Shu called out, “Grandmother.”

The old lady coldly snorted and turned her head away, as if she didn’t want to see Mei Shu. “You came back just in time. Your sister was just brought out of the juvenile detention center by me. She’ll be living here from now on. As her sister, you must take good care of her. I don’t care what happened between you two before, but now Mei Mu has been punished, and everything she has done should be forgiven. Remember what 1 said?”

Mei Mu, who was nestled in the old lady’s arms, stopped crying when she heard this sentence. Gratefully, she thanked the old lady and then took the initiative to stand up and walk to Mei Shu, apologizing, “Sister, it was my fault before. I shouldn’t have done that. Please forgive my immature behavior.”

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became tense. Everyone was waiting for Mei Shu’s reaction.

Butler Zhao watched from the side, his heart pounding. He was afraid that his Miss would beat Mei Mu up in anger. Then, she would be blamed again. No matter what, he couldn’t let this happen.

However, to his surprise, Mei Shu’s eyes were unusually calm. There was no ripple in her caused by Mei Mu’s arrival.

Without even looking at Mei Mu, Mei Shu shifted her gaze to her silent father, bringing up another, more important matter. “Dad, you should already know about me bringing Xiao He back, right?”

Mei Yun nodded tiredly.

But before he could express his opinion, the old lady, dissatisfied, spoke first, “That kid is crazy. Why did you bring him back home instead of letting him stay at the special school? Isn’t this making trouble?!”

When facing this old lady, Mei Shu didn’t have the same patience as before. Her tone instantly turned cold. “Grandmother, in the end, Mei He is your biological grandson. Even if you don’t like him, you shouldn’t say he’s crazy. He just has some psychological issues due to stimulation. Also, whether Mei He should stay at home or not, I don’t think it’s your concern. After all, you don’t live here all the time; you are just a guest in the Mei family.”

“You!”

“Shu’er!” Mei Yun was, after all, a filial son. Despite his mother doing many things behind his back that he couldn’t condone, she was still his biological mother who brought him into this world. He couldn’t allow Mei Shu to speak to his grandmother like that.

Mei Shu sneered, moved her gaze away, and looked at Mei Yun again. “Dad, Mei He couldn’t receive the best treatment at that school. I brought him home to take care of him. Besides, I’ve hired the best psychologist for him, and his condition has improved significantly. I can’t send him back to school.”

“Dad knows your good intentions.” Mei Yun sighed. “In the past, I neglected Mei He. What you’re doing is not wrong. Dad supports you. Tell me how much money the doctor needs, and I’ll cover it.”

“Fine. Besides that, 1 have another request.” Mei Shu glanced lightly at the nervous Mei Mu beside her and said, “Since my sister is returning to the Mei family, I won’t object, but I need Mei Mu to promise me one thing. In the Mei family, she is not allowed to secretly approach Xiao He when no one is around, and she is especially not allowed to enter Xiao He’s room. I don’t want Xiao He to be hurt again.”

“Mei Shu, what do you mean by this? Mei He is also Mumu’s brother. Can’t Mumu even approach him?” The old lady was very displeased with Mei Shu’s self-righteous attitude. After all, she was just the bratty daughter left behind by Mei Yun’s ex-wife. She really considered herself the mistress of this house?

“I have only this one request. If Mei Mu can’t agree, then I won’t allow her to come back home. 1 will personally report to the police that someone bribed them privately and released a minor from the juvenile detention center. I believe there are still law-abiding police officers in this world who can uphold justice for me.”

Mei Shu’s words left no room for dissent. The old lady was infuriated.

At her age, she was actually being threatened by a little brat who hadn’t even grown up yet. Of course, she couldn’t accept it.

She banged her cane and raised her eyebrows fiercely, saying harshly, “Just you? Report to the police? You’re just a child with naive thoughts. You really think you’re a king. If you have the ability, report to the police now. 1 want to see if those police officers dare to take me away from the Mei family!”

“Okay, if Mei Mu can’t agree, then I’ll do that.” Mei Shu showed no signs of backing down.

Mei Yun, feeling a headache from the chaos, interrupted their dispute. “Enough! Shu’er’s suggestion is for the sake of Xiao He’s condition. Mumu, just agree to it.. Otherwise, 1 can’t rest assured letting you return to the Mei family!”
