Zhou Xu smiled warmly, “As long as our master gives the word, anything you want can be delivered to you immediately. In the future, if the young masters and Miss Mei have any needs, feel free to mention them. Our master will do his best to fulfill them.”
Mei Jing was so shocked that he could hardly speak, “My goodness! That’s quite generous!”
Mei Feng felt his brother was a bit embarrassing. He rolled his eyes and snatched away the toys his brother couldn’t let go of, stuffing them back into the gift box. He said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your generosity. But our family doesn’t lack these toys, and besides, Sister said that Yanyan should focus more on studying now and not indulge too much in play.”
Zhou Xu was at a loss for words this time, so he looked to Mei Shu for help. “Miss Mei, this is our master’s sincere gesture. 1 think you should accept it. Actually, our master already knows he went too far with his words earlier. Please, for Master Si’s sake, accept it, okay?”
All eyes were on her at that moment.
Mei Shu sighed and said, “Then thank Mr. Lu for me. Yanyan will accept these things, but please don’t send any more gifts in the future.”
“Very well. As long as you and the young master are willing to accept, our master will be satisfied!” Zhou Xu stood up contentedly. “1 won’t disturb you any longer. The master is anxiously waiting at home! 1’11 take my leave.”
“Goodbye, Uncle Zhou.” Mei Shu politely saw him off with Zhao Yan’s assistance.
Zhou Xu couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he left.
Sure enough, when he returned home, Lu Ting was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea. Though he appeared relaxed, he was actually quite anxious.
As soon as he saw Zhou Xu return, Lu Ting nearly spilled his tea, eagerly asking, “Did they accept it?”
“They did!” Zhou Xu said happily. “Miss Mei even asked me to thank you for your kindness!”
“That’s great!” Lu Ting’s wrinkles softened with his smile. “How was it when you delivered it? Tell me everything!”
Zhou Xu hesitated. To avoid angering the master, he omitted what Mei Feng and Mei Jing initially said about not wanting to accept the gifts. He simply said that everyone at the Mei household was happy.
Lu Ting nodded approvingly. “Since all of them were at home, it wouldn’t be fair to only give it to Yanyan. What would the other children think? Go pick a few suitable gifts for them. I’ll personally take them over tomorrow!”
Zhou Xu was taken aback, fearing what really happened might be exposed. He hurriedly suggested, “Why don’t 1 go instead? It might be inappropriate for you, as an elder, to personally deliver gifts to younger people.”
Lu Ting considered this.
He had always been proud of his status, rarely showing any extra kindness to others. When had he ever gone so far as to personally give gifts to juniors?
But who knew? He genuinely liked Mei Yan, that child.
After living for so many years and having two grandsons who were already capable, he should have been content. Yet as an old man, seeing children still made him happy.
He had had enough of dominating in the business world. Now he just wanted to spend time with children, to feel young again!
After some thought, Lu Ting waved his hand nonchalantly. “It’s fine. Tomorrow, I’ll visit Yanyan. We haven’t finished our game from last time. We must continue! Otherwise, I’ll keep thinking about it!”
“Ever since you met Mei Yan, you’ve been smiling like this all the time!” Zhou Xu couldn’t help but tease.
Lu Ting wasn’t offended; in fact, he looked even more pleased. “I wish Lu Si would give me such an adorable great-grandson or great-granddaughter! Then, 1 could stay at home every day, playing with the child, without needing to worry about them!”
“It depends on when Master Si and Miss Mei can get married!” Zhou Xu added casually.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt it was inappropriate and quickly shut up, stealing glances at Lu Ting’s expression. “Oops, I spoke out of turn. But don’t blame me for being nosy. Actually, 1 think Master Si and Miss Mei are very compatible. Miss Mei doesn’t seem like the kind of woman you said!”
Lu Ting gave him a stern look, but his smile didn’t fade. “Do you think 1 can’t see what kind of person she is? Do you think I’m deliberately targeting her? 1 just want to see how far this girl can go against me! In fact, from the moment she first came to the Lu family, 1 didn’t dislike her as much.”
This was the first time Lu Ting had expressed his true thoughts about Mei Shu. Zhou Xu looked pleasantly surprised. “So, you’ve actually agreed to her and Master Si in your heart?”
“Even if I don’t agree, what’s the use?” Lu Ting deliberately hardened his expression. “That brat Lu Si thinks he can hide anything from me.. Now our family owes Mei Shu an apology!”
