Rich Daughter Reincarnates as Her Eighteen-Year-Old Self to Rescue Her Younger Brothers!

Lu Yan subtly avoided her hand, saying, “Although we’ve been going home together these past few days, it was all my mother’s idea. I hope you don’t read too much into it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li’s face turned pale. She quickly lowered her head, suppressing the bitterness in her eyes, and said, “Big Brother Lu Yan, I understand. 1 won’t overthink it. 1 don’t want to make Auntie angry either.”

Lu Yan glanced at her without saying anything more and turned to get into the car.

Zhou Li pretended that sand had gotten into her eye, but in fact, she wiped away the tears at the corner of her eye with her hand. When she raised her head again, she put on a cheerful smile in the direction of Lu Yan, then as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, Mei Shu saw Lu Si driving recklessly and tightened her seatbelt involuntarily. “There are a lot of students in this area, and it’s after school hours. It’s better not to drive so fast.”

Lu Si slammed on the brakes and then turned his head, his tone harsh, “If 1 don’t speed up, how long are you planning to keep watching them in the rearview mirror?”

Mei Shu’s temper flared up as well. She suddenly felt that this man was being unreasonable. “We just left like this, so of course, I’m concerned about Lu Yan. As his uncle, shouldn’t you care about his love life?”

Of course, he cared, otherwise he wouldn’t have forcefully taken Mei Shu away in front of Lu Yan.

However, when it came to actually saying it, Lu Si decided to swallow his sarcastic words. “He’s already an adult; he should know what to pursue and what not to. There’s no need for me to worry about him.”

Mei Shu felt there was more to his words than met the eye.

She was discussing Zhou Li’s situation with him, and in her eyes, the matter was somewhat serious. After all, she didn’t think highly of Zhou Li.

“I think you should care about both of them a little more. Zhou Li isn’t as innocent as she appears. She has ulterior motives, and Lu Yan deserves someone better,” Mei Shu advised.

Lu Si now felt annoyed whenever he heard Lu Yan’s name from Mei Shu. “1 didn’t take you out to discuss Lu Yan’s education issues.”

Mei Shu sensed his impatience and sighed deeply. “Alright, then let’s talk about the purpose of your visit. We just met at lunchtime, and now you’re here to pick me up again. Do you need my help with something?”

“No,” Lu Si denied without much thought.

At that moment, a large group of students who had just finished school flooded the street outside, and Lu Si’s car was lost in the crowd.

Since it would take a long time to drive away from here, Lu Si decided to turn off the engine. He reached into the glove compartment and took out a box, tossing it into Mei Shu’s hands. “For you.”

Mei Shu was puzzled, and she opened the box to find a dazzling diamond-studded watch inside.

“Why are you giving me this? It’s too valuable; I can’t accept it,” Mei Shu quickly pushed the item back to him.

But Lu Si didn’t take it and only turned his face away, his voice cold and indifferent. “It’s for you; just take it.”

Mei Shu felt a bit angry now. She didn’t understand how Lu Si saw her, so she sternly refused, “I can’t accept such a precious gift. We’re just friends. If you need my help with something, just ask. There’s no need to spend so extravagantly.”

“I’m not asking for your help,” Lu Si said with a bitter smile, finally turning his face toward Mei Shu. A faint blush colored his cheeks as he continued, “I’m here to apologize to you. 1 shouldn’t have brought up your sadness at lunch, so 1 hope you can accept this small gift as my apology.”

Mei Shu finally smiled and said casually, “I see your intention now. I accept your apology, but you don’t need to give me this. Please take the watch back.” Lu Si seemed a bit nervous as he asked, “Do you not like this style?”

“It’s not that,” Mei Shu shook her head. “1 believe that good friends should treat each other equally. I can’t afford such a valuable gift as a return, so 1 can’t accept such an expensive present from you.”

“But I’m here to apologize,”

Lu Si said with a tinge of regret.

Mei Shu chuckled, “1 appreciate your sincerity. I promise I won’t be angry with you over this matter. So, you can take this back without any worries.

Lu Si looked at her pristine wrist with a touch of disappointment, pursing his lips as he said, “1 won’t return it.. The watch will just collect dust otherwise, and during the college entrance examination, students are allowed to wear their watches to check the time, right? If you insist on giving it back, why not wait until after your college entrance exams are over and then personally hand it to me?”
