Mei Shu managed her facial expression, making herself appear neither impatient nor obsequious. “It’s always beneficial to learn an additional skill. Who knows if it might come in handy in the future?”

...

Lu Si understood and said, “Alright, since you want to learn, I can find a better person to teach you.”

“Isn’t S good enough? His skills should be impressive,” Mei Shu asked straightforwardly.

Lu Si replied seriously, “S is not a serious person. He might not teach you well. I can have his master personally teach you.”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and responded, “Then you’re going to great lengths for me.”

“No need to be polite.” Lu Si seemed to be in a good mood and took a big sip from his wine glass, a hint of blush appearing on his face.

Mei Shu guessed that he probably couldn’t handle alcohol well, so to prevent him from suddenly having an episode after getting drunk, she stopped him from drinking further. She cleared her throat and came up with a passable excuse, “1 find the Zhou family’s place quite beautiful. How about you take me around for a stroll?”

“What’s so beautiful about it?” Lu Si scoffed, but he still put down his wine glass and took her for a walk.

Thanks to Lu Si, the various means that Zhou Li had prepared especially for Mei Shu earlier were all useless. She could only hatefully watch the two of them walking side by side from a distance.

Because Lu Yan’s gaze never left Mei Shu throughout.

Midway through the banquet, Zhang Jiao finally arrived with Mei Mu.

Although many people here were not very familiar with Mei Shu, they all knew Mei Mu. When they saw Mei Mu, dressed in a princess dress and beautifully adorned, with a thick bandage wrapped around her hand, someone immediately approached her with a fawning smile.

“Miss Mei, what happened to your hand? It looks like you got seriously injured!”

Mei Mu had no mood to pay attention to them.

Since she entered, her eyes had been searching for Mei Shu’s figure, but she was destined to be disappointed. Mei Shu was currently fishing by the pond with Lu Si.

Seeing this, the butler of the Zhou family sighed helplessly.

In the pond were three white dragonfish raised by Zhou Liang, each of which was worth a million, and Lu Si had already caught one.

Mei Shu didn’t recognize fish types, but she had just received a fishing task from the system and was desperately fishing with her fishing rod.

Lu Si found it interesting and treated it like a competition. He cast the fishing rod again and quickly caught the second white dragonfish.

The butler of the Zhou family felt his heart tremble. He happened to see a maid passing by who was delivering drinks and quickly grabbed her, whispering some instructions before letting her go.

Lu Si turned his head to look at him.

The butler of the Zhou family immediately put on a flattering smile, but when Lu Si turned away, he couldn’t help but show a pained expression. He wished he could jump into the pond and bite the fishing hook himself to protect the precious fish that Zhou Liang had acquired with great difficulty.

Zhou Liang received the message when he was busy receiving Mei Mu and the others.

When he heard the news, his face changed drastically, and his gaze towards Wang Yue and her daughter also changed.

Wang Yue felt puzzled and asked, “Why is Mr. Zhou suddenly looking at me and Mumu like this?”

Zhou Liang took a deep breath and clenched his teeth before saying, “You’ll understand when you follow me.”

Even Zhang Jiao was curious, and he was originally supposed to be Mei Mu’s escort, so he decided to accompany them.

The group walked towards the back garden of the villa. From afar, they could hear Mei Shu’s cheerful laughter.

Mei Mu paused and her wrist began to ache again. Her face turned a bit pale.

Zhou Liang noticed that and stopped, asking, “Miss Mei, what’s wrong?”

With a twisted expression, Mei Mu shook her head, “I’m fine. Is my sister ahead? Uncle Zhou, take me over to see her first. If my sister caused you any trouble, our Mei family will definitely apologize on her behalf.”

This statement was quite sensible and fit the identity of the young miss of the Mei family.

Zhou Liang nodded in satisfaction, and his expression eased a bit.

The further they went inside, the louder Mei Shu’s cheerful and excited voice, causing Mei Mu to instinctively grip tightly her hand that was resting on her mother’s arm.

In a momentary exchange of glances, the mother and daughter saw resentment in each other’s eyes.

Why should she suffer here while Mei Shu got to enjoy this banquet to her heart’s content?

She would never let Mei Shu have it easy!

As they approached, the towering shrubbery now became shorter, revealing the well-dressed man sitting beside Mei Shu.

The man tilted his head, looking at Mei Shu with affectionate eyes and smiling.

Just now, the system prompted Mei Shu that she had caught a rare fish, and she gained the opportunity to draw a rare card.

Mei Shu randomly picked a card, never expecting that it would be a skill to read the opponent’s mind.

Although it seemed like a consumable item, it might be a lifesaver in a critical moment.

Naturally, Mei Shu cherished this skill and couldn’t help but smile happily.

Lu Si thought she was happy because she caught a fish, so he happily waved his hand and rewarded the two freshly caught white dragonfish to Mei Shu.

Now she was truly delighted. She had never kept pets before, but these two fish were beautiful, and she really liked them..
