BXBX NOVEL Chapter 629: Made Amends
Even when caught red-handed, the old man still managed to be so arrogant.
Mei Shu knew what was going on but kept a polite and respectful demeanor, “Well, I can’t say for sure. 1 think it’s best if I don’t come again in the future. But if you really like Yanyan, you can always come over to play with him. I’m just not sure if Yanyan wants that now.”
Lu Ting’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope.
Mei Yan immediately understood his sister’s implication and resisted, “I don’t want to! I don’t want to play with this old man who bosses my sister around!”
Lu Ting’s eyes actually turned a little red. He bluntly retorted, “Fine, if you don’t want to play, then don’t. I won’t come to see you anymore!”
With that, he turned and left, clearly very angry.
Behind his back, Mei Shu and Mei Yan exchanged victorious high-fives.
Lu Si looked at the childish pair with helplessness and approached, “Only you two can make Grandpa lose his temper like this. It seems he really likes Yanyan.”
Mei Yan looked somewhat regretful and shook his head, “If he didn’t treat my sister so poorly, I would have liked this old man. He’s the first elder willing to spend time with me.”
Mei Shu bent down, patting his head gently, “When Grandpa comes to find you, Yanyan can choose to forgive him and make amends.”
“Does Sister mind?” Mei Yan asked, pleasantly surprised.
He thought his sister really wanted to teach the old man a lesson.
Mei Shu chuckled, “Am 1 really that petty? Although he often uses harsh words against me, he hasn’t done anything substantial to harm me, including our bet. He hasn’t hindered our company’s development. I know he’s not a bad person, just a bit difficult. He’s our elder, so let’s not argue with him, alright?”
Mei Yan nodded vigorously, “Of course, as long as he stops bullying sister, Yanyan will be friends with him again!”
Mei Shu affectionately tapped his nose and turned to hand the thermal lunchbox to Lu Si, “You give this to your grandfather. This meal is for him. Yanyan and 1 will go see Grandpa Su.”
Lu Si was surprised but filled with warmth in his eyes, “Shu’er, thank you for your tolerance and understanding. I believe Grandpa will really like you.”
“Of course! Only blind people wouldn’t like my sister!” Mei Yan said proudly, imitating a TV character with hands on hips.
On the second floor, at the corner of the stairs.
Lu Ting suddenly halted, looking at the steward behind him with some hesitation. Still, he asked, “Was I too harsh just now?”
The steward dared not criticize him directly and expressed delicately, “Actually, Miss Mei is sincerely liked by Master Si. Mr. Lu, even if it’s just for Master Si’s sake, you should maintain a decent relationship with Miss Mei.”
Lu Ting snorted, his beard trembling in the wind. After a while, he said, “Go buy some toys that boys would like, the more expensive, the better. There are plenty of toys in Yanyan’s room, but I’m afraid 1 might not choose well and disappoint him.”
“Understood.” The steward, upon hearing this, smiled broadly. He helped the old master into the room to rest and then went downstairs to handle things.
Halfway there, he ran into Lu Si carrying the thermal lunchbox. He stopped and made way, “Master Si, Mr. Lu has already gone to bed.”
Lu Si stopped, glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and handed the lunchbox to him, “Then wait until Grandpa wakes up to warm up the meal for him.”
“Isn’t this the meal Miss Mei wanted to give to Grandpa Su?” The steward was momentarily surprised, then immediately understood, smiling broadly, “Look at these two, speaking one way but meaning another. Just now, Grandpa instructed me to pick a gift for Young Master Mei!”
Lu Si smiled and said, “Sorry for troubling you.”
“No trouble at all. Seeing your family getting along makes me feel at ease too.” The steward hummed a tune happily as he left.
When Lu Ting woke up, the steward mysteriously led him to the dining room.
At first, he wasn’t very interested, but his nose was sharp and immediately detected a different aroma in today’s meal.
He sat down with chopsticks in hand, taking a bite and widening his eyes in disbelief, staring at the steward, “This, this is…”
“Yes, it’s specially made by Miss Mei for you.” The steward recounted what happened earlier.
Lu Ting felt bubbles of joy in his heart and couldn’t stop smiling, “Very well, did you pick gifts for Yanyan? Are they ready?”
“They are.” The steward had someone bring over three or four toys worth more than seven figures.
Each one here was a limited edition from international brands. If it weren’t for the extensive connections and financial resources of the Lu family, it would have been impossible to buy so many in such a short time.
Lu Ting was very satisfied after seeing them and waved his hand, instructing them to be packed and sent to Mei Yan..
