Mei Shu shrugged, indifferent, “Let’s just get in the car. I’ll sit in the front.” After saying that, she walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in.

Lu Si could only helplessly sit in the back with Lu Ting.

The atmosphere inside the car was quite silent all the way.

Even Jiang He’s hands, holding the square plate, were sweating.

Occasionally, he would worryingly glance at Mei Shu beside him, only to find that she had already fallen asleep at some point with her head tilted.

Jiang He was surprised.

Miss Mei’s mental fortitude was really not something ordinary people could compare to.

When Lu Ting was young, he was a soldier, so he had a majestic aura. Ordinary people, let alone riding in the same car with him, would subconsciously tense up even if they brushed past him.

Who could sleep so carefreely like Mei Shu?

But sleeping was always better than having a conflict with the old man!

Thinking like this to comfort himself, Jiang He subconsciously slowed down the car to avoid waking Mei Shu up due to the bumpy road.

When they arrived, the charity gala was about to start.

Jiang He parked the car and went to wake up Mei Shu.

Mei Shu had a comfortable sleep, and when she woke up, she even forgot where she was. She habitually stretched her body with a lazy yawn.

Then, she suddenly heard a cold snort behind her.

Mei Shu turned her head abruptly, only to see the old man looking at her with disgust.

Mei Shu grinned at him, “Mr. Lu, the seats in your car are so comfortable. I used to fall asleep often when Ah Si was driving. You don’t mind, do you?” Lu Ting was furious.

Such a glib tongue!

Lu Li’s wife wasn’t wrong at all!

Mei Shu was a deep-minded and troublesome girl who would disturb their family’s peace!

He absolutely couldn’t let Lu Si marry her!

“Wipe the drool off your mouth!” Lu Ting said irritably and got out of the car directly.

Mei Shu was stunned for a moment. She was about to lower her head to check in the mirror when a hand with distinct knuckles reached out and gently brushed her mouth.

Lu Si smiled gently at her, “Alright, don’t mind it. You’re adorable.”

Mei Shu blushed at his teasing.

When the two got out of the car, they saw Lu Ting glaring at their intertwined hands.

Jiang He quickly tried to ease the tension, “Sir, the gala is about to start. Shall we go in first?”

Lu Ting didn’t say anything, but his face remained sour until they entered the venue.

At the entrance, the secretary responsible for reception at the Yu family was startled and quickly went to fetch Mr. Yu personally.

Lu Ting and Lu Si had come to attend the gala personally, so it was not good for them to continue putting on airs.

Soon, Yu Huan came running over with his son and wife, hurriedly shaking hands with Lu Ting, “Oh, Mr. Lu, I didn’t expect you to grace us with your presence. Come with me to the VIP lounge for a rest.”

He didn’t forget Lu Si either, quickly adding politely, “Master Si and Miss Mei attending our charity gala, it’s truly my honor. If you need anything tonight, feel free to let me know!”

“Hmm.” Lu Si just responded coldly.

Mei Shu, on the other hand, was very polite, “Mr. Yu is too kind. After all, we are business partners. It’s only right for us to come and show our support for such a good cause as charity.”

“Miss Mei, you’re too modest. Please, come in.” Mr. Yu stepped aside to let them through the door.

The three of them walked over the red carpet together.

The media reporters, who were originally bored as there was no big news about the event, suddenly became excited.

This was the first time the three of them appeared together, and it was also the first time Lu Si and Mei Shu appeared publicly together since their engagement ceremony.

Had Mei Shu successfully won the favor of Mr. Lu and become the designated future Mrs. Lu?

The main purpose of this gala was to raise funds for some nursing homes, orphanages, schools, and medical institutions.

Mei Shu had her eyes on the project for out-of-school children, so she didn’t pay much attention to the items being auctioned at the event.

It wasn’t until she noticed Lu Ting staring at a very ordinary painting.

It was the fifth item to be auctioned at the gala.

The painting depicted a young soldier leaving his hometown in the autumn.

The autumn wind was bleak on the streets, and the leaves formed a sea of tender yellow on the ground.

The only figure in the painting, dressed in military uniform, was waving goodbye behind him.

Mei Shu turned her eyes thoughtfully.

After the host introduced the painting in the usual manner, the starting bid was announced.

Since the painting wasn’t by a very famous artist, the starting bid was only one hundred thousand.

While others were still hesitating, Mei Shu raised her paddle first.

The host smiled and pointed in Mei Shu’s direction, saying, “Bid number 5, your bid of one hundred thousand is valid.”

Lu Ting’s eyes, brewing a storm, suddenly shot over, slowly raising the paddle in his hand, “One million.”

As soon as he spoke, the whole room erupted.

What’s going on?

Mr.. Lu was actually bidding against his future granddaughter-in-law for a painting?
