“Hmm?” Even Mei Shu was momentarily taken aback.

Lu Ting thought she hadn’t heard him clearly, so he repeated, his face cold, “I apologize for my previous remarks and hope we can start afresh, putting aside past grievances.”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise, walked down the stairs, and sighed in front of the old man, “Please have a seat.”

Lu Ting complied and instinctively glanced at Mei Yan, seeming concerned about his opinion.

Mei Shu continued, “Yanyan, come and sit too. Don’t you have something to say to Mr. Lu in person?”

Mei Yan hesitated for a moment before approaching, standing in front of Lu Ting, and said seriously, “Grandpa Lu, 1 really like the gift you gave me, but it’s too precious for me. Please don’t give me such expensive gifts in the future. I know you like me, and that’s enough for me.”

Lu Ting felt somewhat pleased, unable to maintain his stern expression, “As long as you like it. Don’t think it’s too precious. These things may seem valuable to you when you’re young, but when you grow up, even if they can fetch a sky-high price, you won’t like them anymore. So, while you’re still young, play with good toys. Isn’t that nice?”

Mei Yan smiled innocently, “I’ve said what I wanted to say. You and Sister can talk now; 1’11 go freshen up!”

“Hey, Yanyan, slow down.” Lu Ting was still a little worried as he watched Mei Yan hop away. He was afraid that this child would accidentally fall and break it.

“Mr. Lu.”

Mei Shu called back his attention, speaking lightly, “Is this apology your own decision, or did someone else ask you to come?”

Lu Ting’s expression betrayed some embarrassment in the face of her inquiry.

After all, they had been at odds not long ago, and he, an old man, had to be the first to apologize. He couldn’t completely let go of his pride, but since things had come to this, he didn’t intend to avoid it. He spoke truthfully, “It was Su Zhi who asked me to come. I lost a move to him in chess.”

“I see,” Mei Shu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Lu Ting, hearing her tone, grew anxious, “Don’t misunderstand. 1 genuinely wanted to apologize to you this time. That old man just gave me a little push. Mei Shu, I admit my previous words to you were indeed excessive. As your and Lu Si’s elder, I should lead by example and admit when I make mistakes. I came to sincerely apologize to you.”

Mei Shu poured him a cup of tea with her own hands and said leisurely, “Apart from this?”

Lu Ting looked at her in surprise. He did not expect this girl to be so sharp. He took a sip of tea and said, “Other than this, the tea that Mei Yan gave me last time was also taken away by that old fellow. Can you give me some more? I know that it’s not easy to make that tea. It doesn’t matter how much it costs. Name a price.”

This time Mei Shu couldn’t help but chuckle, “Forget it, how could 1 take your money?”

She motioned to a servant, “Go fetch the jar of tea leaves from the kitchen cabinet and give it to Mr. Lu.”

Lu Ting immediately smiled, “You’re so generous. You’re not like an ordinary young lady. It seems you weren’t just boasting when you said you wanted to develop the Mei family to the level of the Lu family. You have the capability.” Mei Shu smiled and said, “Are you saying that I won our bet?”

“Of course not,” Lu Ting shook his head hastily, “You’ve only won when you’ve developed the Mei family to the level of the Lu family. It’s not time yet.”

Mei Shu stopped teasing him and said seriously, “Since you’re done talking, I’ll go to work first. Yanyan will come down to accompany you later. You can stay as long as you want this time.”

Was this her way of accepting his apology?

Lu Ting was pleasantly surprised, “Okay, go ahead with your work. You don’t have to worry about me. Mei Yan and I will be fine.”

Mei Shu picked up her bag and left with a smile, just as Tang Mei’s call came in.

“Ms. Mei, 1 received a photo just now. It might be related to the monster you’re investigating.”

Mei Shu’s smile faded, she opened the car door and got in, her voice serious, “I’ll be at the office soon. Wait for me there.”

Mei Group’s headquarters, top floor.

When Mei Shu arrived, Tang Mei had already boiled the tea and was waiting for her.

“Ms. Mei, here’s the photo.”

Mei Shu took a look and realized the photo was blurry, but she could vaguely see three or four people collaborating to subdue a beast she had never seen before, taken at a beach.

“Where did this photo come from?” Mei Shu’s voice involuntarily turned cold.

Tang Mei immediately said, “Someone sent it to our company’s email this morning. Ms. Mei, if this photo captures the beast that appeared on the island back then, does it mean someone knew in advance that Master Si’s parents would go to the island for vacation, so they deliberately released the beast there?”

Mei Shu narrowed her eyes and began to operate her computer, “I’ll investigate this personally. Contact Master Fu and ask him to send me the records of the foreign detectives we investigated with that night..”
