Rich Daughter Reincarnates as Her Eighteen-Year-Old Self to Rescue Her Younger Brothers!-Chapter 21
Chapter 21
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully completing the mission! Points +10, Reputation +1]
When Mei Shu heard Little Eight’s broadcast, she patted Mei Jing’s shoulder in a good mood. “Come home with me.”
Mei Jing replied without hesitation, “I’m not going home.”
Mei Shu looked at Mei Jing. “Tsk, I just helped you out.”
Mei Jing felt a little uncomfortable and said slowly, “I’m injured. If I go back, I’ll be scolded by Dad again.”
Only then did Mei Shu say nothing. She was secretly happy to see Mei Jing’s attitude towards her change slightly.
Mei Shu bought medicinal wine from a pharmacy near the school and applied it on the bruise at the corner of Mei Jing’s mouth. She looked at Zhao He and said, “Zhao He, help me keep an eye on him and make sure he applies the medicinal wine three times a day.”
Zhao He replied enthusiastically, “Sister Mei Shu, don’t worry! Leave this to me!”
Mei Shu sent them to school. She looked at Mei Jing and said, “I’ll pick you up home after school on Friday afternoon.”
Mei Jing didn’t respond, but he didn’t refuse either.
Zhao He watched as Mei Shu got into the car and placed his hand on Mei Jing’s shoulder, saying with admiration, “Oh my god, why is Sister Mei Shu so strong! If not for her, I think you would have had to use crutches for at least 2 months this time”
Mei Jing slapped Zhao He’s hand away and looked over angrily. “Did you call her and tell on me?!”
Zhao He chuckled a few times and said, “We usually just fool around, but Cao Wu is different. His father is the governor, so it’s better to resolve conflicts peacefully. Even if we can beat him up, what good would it do if we anger his family and face their retaliation? Bro, the common people should not fight against the officials.”
“Don’t worry, your stepmother doesn’t know anything. She seems to be treating you well, but who knows what she’s plotting in secret. I didn’t tell her anything. I couldn’t reach Brother Mei on the phone, so I called Sister Mei Shu instead. If she can come to our rescue, she could save our lives. I just didn’t expect Sister Mei Shu to be so capable.”
On the other side, when Mei Shu returned home, everyone had already finished eating. Ignoring all Mei Mu’s attempts to inquire about news, Mei Shu quickly finished her meal, took Mei Yan, who was waiting by the side, and went upstairs to study.
When she woke up the next day, Mei Shu received a new mission.
[Master, please try your best to get yourself a new phone.]
It had been almost a week since she arrived in Lin City, and even without the reminder from Little Eight, Mei Shu had already planned to get herself a phone, as it was too inconvenient without one.
Mei Shu was the last one to enter the dining room and was surprised to see Mei Yun at the table.
Mei Shu paused for a moment. She had only planned to ask Wang Yue to buy her a phone, but she didn’t expect Mei Yun to be here. She laughed in her heart. This was really an unexpected surprise. She walked forward with a smile. “Good morning, Dad. Good morning, everyone.”
Mei Yun looked up and smiled warmly at Mei Shu, saying, “Morning, come and have breakfast.”
After sitting down, Mei Shu spoke softly to Mei Yun, “Dad, we met last Friday, but I haven’t seen you for a few days since then.”
Mei Yun was taken aback by Mei Shu’s words. He usually didn’t pay attention to family matters. In the past, it was Bai Ling, and now, it was Wang Yue. It didn’t matter to Mei Yun who was in charge of the home, as long as everything was peaceful and there were no issues that could affect his company’s image.
When Mei Yun heard these words that seemed to be filled with complaints, he, who was already a little annoyed, wanted to teach the insensible Mei Shu a lesson. However, when he looked up, he saw the look of admiration in Mei Shu’s eyes. His impatience instantly turned into guilt.
Mei Yun smiled gently. “I have been busy with work recently and have indeed neglected you.”
Mei Shu passed the jammed bread over Mei Mu to Mei Yun who was sitting at the head of the table. She smiled and said, “Dad, I know you work hard to make our lives better. Don’t worry about me. I’m used to being at my own home, and you should try this bread. It’s delicious.”
Mei Yun happily accepted the bread and looked at his wife and children gathered around him, feeling content with the peaceful atmosphere. “Mei Shu has grown up. You’re much more sensible than before.”
Mei Shu smiled innocently and lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes. If being obedient meant being sensible, then she was indeed “insensible” five years ago when she desperately wanted to stay at home.
When Mei Mu heard this, she put down her phone, which she had just finished sending a message on, and smiled at Mei Yun, saying sweetly, “Daddy, it was thanks to Mom that she discovered my sister’s poor mental state in time and helped her rest, which led to this effect.”
“For so many years, not only has Mom managed her store successfully, but she has also kept our home in order, taking great care of us siblings. You must not let Mom down with all her hard work.”
