Mei Shu thought to herself that his way of interrogation was quite unusual, but she still didn’t say those words out loud. She obediently drank the porridge he fed her.

After finishing a bowl of sweet porridge, she finally regained some color in her face and gathered some strength in her body.

Mei Shu said, “Actually, I didn’t mean to keep it from you.”

Lu Si’s hand paused slightly, not saying anything, just lowering his head to cool down the hot water in the cup for her.

Mei Shu spoke quietly, “The things that happened in my past life are something you wouldn’t want to know, and I don’t want anyone to know either. But 1 can promise you that I won’t push you away anymore in the future, and you don’t have to keep asking me about what happened to me before, okay?”

At her words, Lu Si’s fingertips holding the cup turned slightly pale. After a long time, he sighed and said, “Okay, I won’t ask about the past, but in the future, no matter what happens, you must not hide it from me, and you must not scare me like this again.”

“Okay, I promise you.” Mei Shu and him had a heart-to-heart conversation, finally unburdening themselves, feeling relieved.

Lu Si looked at her, seeing her lively appearance again, and finally a hint of smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Take your medicine.” He handed her the cup of water and the prepared dosage of pills at the same time.

Mei Shu obediently took them and then snuggled under the covers, only showing her head outside, her round eyes looking at him expectantly, “You probably didn’t sleep well last night, right? Why don’t you go back and rest for a while, then take a shower and change your clothes before coming back?”

Lu Si immediately showed an unhappy expression, “Sleep together.”

After saying that, he squeezed to the other side of Mei Shu, lifted the covers, lay down, and firmly held her in his arms.

Mei Shu turned around, originally wanting to push him away, but seeing the heavy dark circles under his eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words to drive him away. Instead, she softened and wrapped her arms around his narrow waist, snuggling in his arms for a peaceful sleep.

Lu Si quietly curved his lips at the top of her head, found a comfortable position to hold her, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Jiang He’s investigation yielded results.

At that time, Mei Shu had just finished breakfast and was about to go back to sleep, so Lu Si took the opportunity to go out to the corridor with Jiang He.

“Speak,” Lu Si said expressionlessly.

Jiang He quickly handed over a document, saying, “I found out that Miss Fu An was supposed to take over the family business in the capital immediately, but for some reason, she suddenly appeared in Lincheng. 1 found out that before this, Miss Fu An had a major conflict with her family, seemingly related to you.”

“For me?” Lu Si frowned, “Go on.”

Jiang He continued, “The servants of the Fu family said that Miss Fu An insisted on coming to Lincheng to see you, but as for why she hasn’t shown up at the Lu family’s residence after arriving in Lincheng, no one knows the reason.”

Lu Si’s eyes flickered slightly, “Is there anyone in the capital who knows about my girlfriend?”

“Only the people trusted by the old master know.” Jiang He looked up, “Master Si, are you suspecting that Miss Fu An’s visit this time was actually for Miss Mei?”

“I’m just guessing.” Lu Si leaned against the wall, rubbing his temples tiredly, “What else did you find out?”

Jiang He pointed to the document in his hand, cautiously saying, “I found out that the string of pearl necklace was actually a birthday gift from ATr. Lu to Mrs. Fu many years ago. Mr. Lu acquired it at an auction, but later, all of Mrs. Fu’s belongings were taken away by the Fu family’s people, and that’s how the necklace ended up in Miss Fu An’s hands.”

At his words, Lu Si’s expression showed a rare trace of melancholy, but he quickly concealed it, “Could it be that she really just wanted to fulfill my mother’s last wish and hand the necklace to Shu’er herself?”

“Master Si,” Jiang He hesitated, “Although 1 don’t know what happened, Miss Fu An is your own aunt. She shouldn’t harm you and Miss Mei.”

“I know that,” Lu Si said, “I’m just worried that there are people with ulterior motives deliberately approaching her.” He continued, “Is there anyone in Lincheng who has been particularly close to her recently?”

Bringing this up, even Jiang He’s face showed anger, “Mei Cheng, it seems that he and Miss Fu An are old acquaintances and seem to have a good relationship. After Miss Fu An came to Lincheng, she had several meals alone with him, and no one else.”

Mei Cheng?

Lu Si’s face instantly turned icy cold.

Jiang He cautiously suggested, “Master Si, although I don’t know what’s going on, should we inform Miss Fu An to stay away from this person?”

“No need to investigate further,” Lu Si decisively issued an order, “I’ll play with him. We’ll aggressively acquire their stocks on the market and then sell them at a low price. I want Mei Cheng’s company to go bankrupt directly!”

“Master Si, by doing this, our losses will be immeasurable!” Jiang He was shocked by Lu Si’s reckless approach.

Although the loss of this amount of money couldn’t really shake the Lu family’s position, it was still a completely unnecessary expense!

“It doesn’t matter how much we lose. Within three days, I want to see Mei Cheng’s company closed down and bankrupt. Otherwise, you can resign and stop working,” Lu Si dropped these words and went straight back to the hospital room..
