“Mei Mu… it was all an accident! Ah Ling, please, listen to my explanation!” Mei Yun rushed towards Mei Shu as if he had gone mad, but his arm was firmly grasped by Mei Feng midway.

“Let go of me!” Mei Yun finally managed to break free from Mei Feng’s grip and stumbled his way to Mei Shu. He struggled to maintain his balance and not fall, saying, “Ah Ling, please listen to my explanation. Wang Yue drugged me with alcohol that night! I truly don’t remember anything. I really don’t want to betray you. I’m so sorry; I never intended to betray you!”

“But you still married Wang Yue shortly after Mom’s death.” Mei Shu stared at him with cold eyes, devoid of any emotion, just an icy indifference.

Mei Yun trembled under her piercing gaze and, finally coming to his senses, tried to focus on the person in front of him. “You’re not Ah Ling. You’re Shu’er? You’re my daughter?”

Mei Shu gave a cold laugh. “Dad, no matter what you were thinking at the time, the fact remains that you had an illegitimate child during your marriage with Mom.”

She leaned in closer, speaking through gritted teeth, “I will never let those two off.”

“Sister!” Mei Feng was worried that Mei Shu would reveal more, so he hurriedly stepped between them, forcibly separating them. He supported his father’s shoulder, guiding him back to the couch.

Mei Shu didn’t intend to say much at all. She just couldn’t stand this hypocritical man who was still pretending to be disgustingly affectionate.

She would never forgive this man who didn’t do any duty to his mother and them.

At that moment, Butler Zhao brought a bowl of slightly cooled sobering soup, and Mei Shu, without even looking at Mei Yun, snorted in disgust and went straight upstairs.

The next day, Mei Yun woke up from his drunken stupor, and he truly didn’t remember what had happened the previous night.

During lunch, Mei Jing was concerned that he might be angry with his sister for what happened the night before. She hinted a few times that she needed to talk to her sister, but Mei Yun genuinely had no recollection of the events. This made Mei Jing somewhat relieved.

Before Lin He and her family arrived in Lin City, Mei Shu had some free time.

These past few days, she was busy dealing with the matter concerning Lu Ming. She frequently took time off from school, causing her teachers to become quite dissatisfied.

However, they were willing to overlook it for now, considering her consistent good performance and significant progress in her studies.

Life in the senior year often went hand in hand with exams.

Mei Shu spent the entire day revising and consolidating her studies until the school bell signaled the end of the day, marking the completion of all her daily tasks.

Wen Miao had always been amazed at Mei’s study efficiency, and as she had just finished packing her bag, she quickly came over to comment, “I’ve really never seen anyone memorize books so quickly! You’re even more amazing than my cousin brother who was once first place in college entry exam!”

“Your cousin was once first place in college entry exam?” Mei Shu asked, curious, as it was the first time she had heard of this.

Wen Miao nodded proudly. “Yes, my cousin was first place in the college entry exam in the humanities a couple of years ago. 1 thought for sure that our batch’s first place would be Lu Yan, but now I’m not so sure. Mei Shu, you also have a good chance!”

Mei Shu sighed softly. “I probably won’t outperform Lu Yan.”

After all, Lu Yan’s title of Study God wasn’t just for show.

Besides rote memorization, there was a lot of knowledge that required understanding and practical application.

When it comes to memorization, Mei Shu was confident she could compete with anyone, but in terms of practical application, her science scores were a bit behind Lu Yan.

As they chatted, there was suddenly a commotion at the classroom door.

Wen Miao looked over curiously and saw that the Study God she admired so much was now standing right in front of her!

“Wow, it’s Lu Yan, the big shot!” Wen Miao quickly pulled Mei Shu’s arm, gesturing for her to look as well.

Mei Shu realized that it had been quite a while since she had talked with Lu Yan.

With a smile, she nodded to greet him. Just as she was about to say hello, a small, slim figure suddenly blocked her view.

Zhou Li grabbed Lu Yan’s arm, calling him sweetly, “Brother Lu Yan,” and then provocatively glared at Mei Shu.

Surprisingly, this time Lu Yan didn’t free himself from her grip. He let her hold his arm in front of all their classmates.

Wen Miao was envious. “Mei Shu, when did Zhou Li become so close to Lu Yan? Wasn’t Lu Yan supposed to have come here to find you?”

“I’m not sure,” Mei Shu said with some regret.

She didn’t really like the idea of these two being together. As Lu Yan’s childhood friend, she hoped he could find a better girl who could match him.

But whether she liked it or not was evidently unimportant,.

Since Lu Yan was here to pick Zhou Li up from school, there was no need for her to be a third wheel.

With that in mind, she finished packing her things and decided to leave through the back door of the classroom.

If they wanted to show affection at the front door, she wouldn’t force herself to be an unwelcome presence in their midst..
