Just as Mei Shu and Lu Si found a place to sit down and rest, the woman who had been whispering with Mei Cheng walked over alone, holding a glass of wine.

She was dressed in a moon-white long dress with a deep V-neckline, and the silk skirt naturally flowed to the ground, exuding elegance, grace, and brightness.

Mei Shu’s lips were about to curl into a cold smile when she saw the man next to her, who was always indifferent to others, suddenly stand up.

Mei Shu was momentarily surprised, and then she saw Lu Si take a few brisk steps towards the woman.

At that moment, she even had the thought that the woman might be Lu Si’s ex-girlfriend.

It would be false to say she wasn’t disappointed.

This was the first time Mei Shu had seen Lu Si show different emotions towards a woman other than herself.

Lost in thought, Mei Shu suddenly realized that there had been a playful gaze fixed on her all along.

She met the gaze and found the woman’s eyes full of amusement and provocation.

Narrowing her eyes, Mei Shu walked slowly towards them, stopping by their side.

Lu Si only glanced at her before shifting his gaze back.

Mei Shu subconsciously pursed her lips.

Then she heard Lu Si call out, “Auntie.”

Mei Shu: “Huh?” Auntie?

She quickly looked at the electronic screen next to the woman.

She had been so disturbed by Lu Si’s attitude earlier that she had forgotten to look at the woman’s profile.

“Ah Si, it’s been so long. Are you still used to living in Lin City?” The woman expressed concern for his well-being with a smile.

Lu Si replied, “I’m quite used to it, Auntie. This is my girlfriend, Mei Shu.”

The woman’s gaze naturally shifted over.

Mei Shu quickly said, “Hello, Auntie.”

The woman affectionately shook her hand, looking Mei Shu up and down with satisfaction, “No wonder you’re the one Ah Si likes. You’re more outstanding than any other girl here.”

Mei Shu blushed under the praise and smiled awkwardly, “Auntie is too kind.”

The woman seemed reluctant to let go of Mei Shu’s hand and kept saying, “Look at how beautiful this girl is. If my sister were still here, she would definitely be happy.”

It was the first time Mei Shu had been praised by an elder like this. She looked at Lu Si in embarrassment, desperately seeking his help with her eyes.

Lu Si chuckled and took Mei Shu’s hand from the woman’s, shifting the topic, “Auntie, when did you come to Lin City? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Grandpa must be eager to see you.”

The woman shook her head, saying, “I sneaked out from home this time. 1 didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. You know your grandpa’s temper. If he knew I was doing my own thing again, he would definitely call my father and mother.”

Lu Si thought about it and didn’t insist on her coming to meet his grandpa at home.

“When do you plan to return to Beijing? If there’s anything 1 can help with, just let me know,” Lu Si offered.

The woman smiled, “I’m just out for a stroll, to relax and see you on the passing. It will soon be my sister’s death anniversary, and I will return then.”

Speaking of this, sadness appeared in Lu Si’s eyes. His thick, curly eyelashes drooped down, “Then I’ll go back to the capital with you.”

The woman nodded and looked at Mei Shu, who was standing solemnly beside them, suddenly feeling guilty, “Look at me, bringing this up at this time. It’s the first time I’ve met your little girlfriend. 1 should give her a gift as a first meeting present.”

“Then let me thank Auntie for Mei Shu.” Lu Si candidly accepted the box she handed over to Mei Shu.

Mei Shu opened it and her eyes widened suddenly. At that moment, she stopped breathing.

It was an extremely beautiful pearl necklace, so captivating that anyone who saw it couldn’t look away.

More importantly, Mei Shu had seen this necklace before.

The days and nights she spent with Zhang Jiao came vividly back to her mind.

At that time, she was forced to marry Zhang Jiao by Mei Yun, but she didn’t get the happiness she had imagined.

Zhang Jiao had physical defects and he enjoyed torturing Mei Shu.

Until this necklace appeared, every night became an inescapable nightmare for her.

A loud rumble echoed outside the window.

People at the party looked up to see a dazzling lightning bolt snaking down from the clouds.

Mei Shu was startled, her hand shook, and the box slipped from her grasp, the pearl necklace rolling out and gathering dust on the ground.

Lu Si quickly bent down to pick it up, wiping off the dust, and said with concern, “Shu’er, what’s wrong?”

His hand waved in front of Mei Shu’s stunned eyes.

Mei Shu slowly regained her composure and looked at the woman again, feeling a chill down her spine.

“Nothing, this gift Auntie gave is too precious. I can’t accept it.” Mei Shu said as she took the necklace from Lu Si’s hand, hastily stuffed it back into the box, and tried to return it to the woman.

But the woman smiled and explained, “Just take it. This is the favorite necklace of Ah Si’s mother. She once said she would give this necklace to her future daughter-in-law.. Isn’t it meant for you?”
