Mei Yan relented obediently.

Feeling the footsteps behind him drawing closer, Lu Ting’s back stiffened even more, his voice becoming increasingly stern, “1 told you to leave, don’t you understand? You’re supposed to be a young lady from a good family. How can you be so shameless now? Do you even know the meaning of shame?”

Mei Shu completely ignored his words, walked around to face him directly, her expression devoid of emotion as she locked eyes with him, her tone cool and devoid of emotion, “Grandpa Su? Mr. Lu, I didn’t realize you had a hobby of impersonating others.”

The stern demeanor that Lu Ting maintained instantly collapsed, his tone feeble, “I never said my surname was Su. It’s clear that you’ve mistaken my identity.”

Mei Shu, arms crossed, looked amused, “So you’re admitting that you’ve been secretly coming to my house every day, playing games with my little brother, helping him with his homework, and always leaving before 1 return home?”

Lu Ting sighed resignedly, “Regardless of what you think, I’ll tell you this, 1 have no ill intentions toward your brother. As for the rest, I can’t be bothered to explain.”

Mei Yan finally understood what was going on and hurriedly ran up to him, “You’re not my brother-in-law’s grandfather? Then you’re…”

His bewildered eyes scanned Lu Ting and Lu Si, and suddenly clarity dawned upon him, “I get it, you’re the nasty old man who’s been bullying my sister! No wonder you looked familiar the first time 1 saw you at our house. It really is you! Why did you keep lying to me?”

“Kid, when did 1 lie to you?” Lu Ting felt somewhat helpless, his tone softening.

But Mei Yan widened his eyes in disbelief, “You said you were here to visit your grandsons, pretended to be unwell, deliberately had me bring you home, and acted as if you didn’t know the tea leaves were made by my sister. How is that not lying to me?”

Lu Ting wore a pained expression, feeling awkward for the first time, “1 really didn’t mean to. That day, I just happened to pass by your house, thought you looked cute, and decided to come in to play with you. 1 really didn’t have any other intentions.”

“Hmph, 1 don’t believe you!” Mei Yan turned his head aside, exhaling hot air from his nostrils in discontent. “Give me back my sister’s tea! I’m going back with her now, and you’re not allowed to come to our house anymore!” “Yanyan!” Lu Ting stomped his feet sadly and held his small shoulders. “How can what happened between your sister and me affect our relationship? Have you forgotten how happy we were when we played games these few days?” “I won’t play with people who are mean to my sister!” Mei Yan shook off his hand and said fiercely, “Give me back the tea leaves!”

“There are no more tea leaves.” Lu Ting said with a stern face, looking determined to be stubborn to the end.

Mei Yan said indignantly, “When I gave it to you, you said that you didn’t like it. Now, you’re pretending to be someone else to cheat me of my tea. What exactly do you mean by that, you bad old man?”

“Yanyan, you can’t be rude!” Mei Shu pulled him behind her with a cold expression and softened her voice. “Mr. Lu, 1 know you really like Yanyan but hate me. Please return the tea leaves to me so that 1 can quickly give this food to Grandpa Su. It will affect the taste when it gets cold later.”

Lu Ting’s eyes were fixed on the thermos in Mei Shu’s hand. Thinking of the exquisite and delicious food that day, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. “You can leave after putting down the things. I’ll send them to that old man for you.”

“That won’t do.” Mei Shu took a step back and continued to maintain a polite and distant attitude. “You should return the things to me, lest they become an eyesore to you if they stay in your house. Grandpa Su likes to drink that kind of tea very much, so I’ll give it to him as well. He needs to calm down and rest the most now.”

“Grandpa Su, it’s always Grandpa Su. Do you only have eyes for that old man? Do 1 even matter to you?” Lu Ting finally couldn’t help but get angry, his voice thundering, “I’m Ah Si’s real grandfather. Why can’t you treat me like you treat Old Su?”

“You dislike me, so I can only keep my distance from you.” Mei Shu reminded him calmly.

Lu Ting’s regret flashed across his face for a moment, but he quickly subdued it, folded his arms behind his back, turned his head away, and muttered in a slightly awkward tone, “Now that you have such a cute little brother, I’ve developed a liking for you as well. Suddenly, 1 don’t dislike you as much. You can come to the Lu family whenever you want. The tea is indeed good. You don’t need to take it back. You’ve already given so much to Old Su. This small box is all 1 have.”

His words carried a tinge of grievance.

Mei Shu fought hard not to laugh, continuing calmly, “Don’t forget, I’m a scheming woman. If I’m allowed to come and go in the Lu family as 1 please, it might disturb the peace of your home.”

Lu Ting grew more impatient, turned abruptly, and spoke coldly, “Rest assured, as long as I’m alive, you won’t be able to stir up any trouble.. If I can’t even control you, how can 1 be the head of the Lu family?”
