At this point, Mei Shu took out her phone and asked Lu Si about this matter.
Lu Si also attached great importance to this matter. He carefully questioned the household steward and servants, only to learn that Su Zhi indeed hadn’t left the house today.
Then who was the old man who had been coming to Mei’s house every day during this time, keeping Mei Yan company with his homework and games?
Moreover, why didn’t Su Zhi refute Mei Shu’s remarks just now in the bedroom?
Deep in thought, Mei Shu put down her phone and held Mei Yan’s hand. “Your Grandpa Su is sick. Would you like to go see him with me?”
Mei Yan readily agreed, “I’m also worried about Grandpa Su’s health.”
“Good boy, Yanyan.”
They left together.
Now the Mei family and the Lu family lived very close. They arrived at the neighboring villa in less than ten minutes.
Mei Shu rang the doorbell, and Jiang He opened the door.
Seeing Mei Shu, Jiang He smiled broadly, “Miss Mei is here. Please come in. Master Si is waiting for you in the living room.”
Mei Shu nodded and led Mei Yan into the house.
In the living room, Lu Si was deliberately engaging Lu Ting in conversation, not letting him find an easy excuse to leave.
When the door opened, Lu Si stretched his neck in that direction, “Shu’er, come and sit here. Grandpa is also here to visit my grandpa.”
The moment Lu Ting heard this sentence, his spine instinctively stiffened.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to sit back first and listen to what this brat was up to.
Otherwise, if he slipped away as soon as he heard that Mei Shu had arrived, it would be too embarrassing, as if he were afraid to see her!
With this in mind, Lu Ting deliberately put on a stern posture and sat back on the sofa with a grimace.
“Oh, Yanyan is here too. You haven’t met my grandpa yet. Let me introduce you.”
As Lu Si spoke, Lu Ting froze in place as if he had just realized something was amiss.
But in that instant, his back broke out in a cold sweat. A figure who had always dominated the business world couldn’t even manage a simple turn around.
As if sensing his strangeness, Lu Si asked in surprise, “Grandpa, why aren’t you sitting? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Lu Ting, with his back to them, held his stomach and found an excuse, “I suddenly feel uncomfortable. I need to go back and lie down. Butler!”
“Sir.” The butler hurried over to support him. “Are you alright? Otherwise, you can stay here with Master Si today.”
Lu Ting glanced around and immediately nodded, “Okay, just help me upstairs!”
Saying so, the two walked away from Mei Shu and the others.
Mei Yan stared at that figure for a long time.
Although the old man in front of him never turned around, and even changed into clothes he had never seen before, he just felt that this person was Grandpa Su!
He ran a few steps to Lu Ting, grabbed his sleeve, and stopped him from continuing to walk. His eyes sparkled, “Grandpa Su, it’s me, Yanyan. I’ve come to see you. Why do you look so pale? No wonder Sister said you were very sick and even cooked food for you and brought it over!”
Lu Ting feared the worst. His face flushed red, and he quickly signaled to Mei Yan with his eyes.
Mei Yan was too young to understand the ins and outs of the situation. He thought Lu Ting had an eye problem and immediately leaned forward to Mei Shu, “Sister, don’t you know a little bit of medicine? Why don’t you come and check on Grandpa Su? What’s wrong with him!”
“Sure, 1’11 come over and check on Grandpa Su myself.” Mei Shu stifled a laugh, deliberately emphasizing the last three words.
Lu Ting’s face darkened, and he shouted at her without turning around, “Who asked you to come? 1 don’t need your concern. Leave! I don’t need your hypocritical kindness!”
Mei Yan was immediately infuriated, stomping his foot, “Grandpa Su, how can you say such things to Sister? Sister came here with good intentions to see you. If you continue like this, I won’t talk to you anymore!”
Lu Ting inwardly lamented, but his expression grew even darker. “You leave too! I don’t want to see any of you appear in our Lu family now. 1 need to rest. Don’t bother me here!”
Mei Yan was really a little angry. He puffed up his cheeks like a hamster, snorting coldly and turning around to pull Mei Shu away. “Sister, we’re not coming here anymore. What’s so great about the Lu family? We came over with good intentions, but they actually turned against us. We won’t come to this lousy place again!”
Mei Shu chuckled helplessly. She gently patted his head and bent down to coax him, “Be good, Yanyan. I believe Grandpa Su is just feeling unwell and doesn’t want us to worry, so he said those things. Haven’t you forgotten how good he’s been to you these past few days?”
Hearing her words, Mei Yan’s anger subsided a bit, but he was still upset, pouting, “But he shouldn’t speak so harshly! 1 can’t stand anyone talking to Sister like this!”
Mei Shu smiled helplessly, “Let me check on Grandpa Su’s condition first, and then we’ll go home together, okay?”
