Chapter 626: Identity Exposed
Lu Ting was once again infuriated by Mei Shu. He glared at her for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn’t find the words.
Mei Shu, unwilling to back down, confronted him, showing a stance of inevitable conflict.
Lu Si, caught in the middle, quickly stepped in to mediate. “Grandpa, weren’t you here this time specifically to visit Grandpa Su? By the way, where did you go just now?”
Lu Ting’s expression turned somewhat unnatural for a moment, and he stuttered, “I was just walking around the neighborhood. Why? Do 1 need to report my whereabouts to you?”
“Of course not,” Lu Si said, leading him to Su Zhi’s bedside. “During this time, Grandpa cannot go out. It must be boring to stay home alone. Grandpa, you should come and visit Grandpa Su often.”
“You think I need you to tell me that?” Lu Ting retorted irritably, his gaze fixed on Su Zhi who was lying on the bed with a naughty smile. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his words became more unreasonable, “Old man, it’s all because of you that I… 1 go for walks in the neighborhood every day, happily!”
Su Zhi smiled knowingly and deliberately teased him, “I never forced you, an old codger, to accompany me. 1 have Mei Shu; that’s enough for me. You can go wherever you want. No need to inconvenience yourself for me.”
“You!” Lu Ting knew that this old man knew everything but pretended to be ignorant. He rolled his eyes fiercely. “You rest in your room. I’m going back to sleep!”
After they left, Lu Si looked guilty. “Grandpa, my grandfather has this temper, but you know, he’s definitely not angry with you.”
“Of course, I know what this old man is up to.” Su Zhi smiled without saying a word, motioning for Mei Shu to come over.
Mei Shu obediently approached. “Grandpa Su, do you have something to say to me?”
Su Zhi said, “Actually, Lu Si’s grandfather is not as he appears on the surface. I’ve dealt with him for decades, and no one knows his temper and character better than I do. If he were truly stubborn and bad-tempered, 1 wouldn’t have married my daughter to his son. You understand what I mean?”
“Grandpa Su, are you trying to speak well of Mr. Lu Ting?” Mei Shu sighed. “Actually, I don’t have any deep grudges with him. Grandpa Su, rest assured, for Lu Si’s sake, I will try my best to avoid direct conflicts with him in the future.”
“You are indeed a sensible child.” Su Zhi sincerely patted her hand. “With you by Lu Si’s side, I’m really relieved. If you two can really go all the way, Grandpa sincerely blesses you from the bottom of my heart.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Su.” Mei Shu gently placed his hand back under the blanket. Noticing the fatigue in the old man’s eyes, she coaxed softly, “You should rest for a while. I’ll go make some delicious food for you to eat when you wake up.”
Su Zhi refused, shaking his head. “No, you don’t need to personally do these. You go and rest with Lu Si. 1’11 sleep for a while, and you don’t need to stay by my side.”
“But…”
Mei Shu wanted to say something more, but seeing Su Zhi’s determined expression, she could only comply. “Okay, then 1’11 come over later.”
“Grandpa, I and Shu’er will come to see you tonight.” Lu Si also said, then pulled Mei Shu out.
This time Su Zhi didn’t refuse. He nodded happily, sighing heavily only after watching the two leave the room.
It seems that Lu Ting’s bad temper is bound to run into trouble this time!
But it’s also good.
Su Zhi couldn’t help but smile. Finally, someone can deal with his temper!
In the evening, Mei Shu prepared the food at home and put it in a thermos to bring to Su Zhi.
When Mei Yan saw it, he ran over excitedly, “Sister, did you cook today? Can Yanyan eat some?”
Mei Shu patted his head and said, “Good boy, Yanyan, this is for your Grandpa Su. He’s sick and needs to eat well to recover quickly.”
“Grandpa Su is sick?” Mei Yan was surprised. “But he was fine when he left today!”
“You mean Grandpa Su came to our house today?” Mei Shu was puzzled. “When did he come?”
“He came early in the morning.” Mei Yan pouted, “He asked me to have you cook some delicious dishes and wait for him to come tomorrow to eat together. I told him, just tell Sister directly what you want to eat, Sister definitely won’t refuse, right, Sister?”
“Huh?”
Mei Shu felt that something was wrong.
Mei Shu asked in confusion, “When did your Grandpa Su leave our house?”
“I haven’t finished breakfast yet. Grandpa Su left in a hurry after receiving a call.” Mei Yan blinked blankly and asked, “Sister, what are you thinking about?”
“That’s not right.” Mei Shu couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. “That’s impossible. Butler said that Grandpa Su fainted at home. He must have not left the house at all today.. Why would he come to our house to have breakfast with you?”
