Mei Shu had already mastered the trick to deal with Lu Si.
She took his hand, gently shook it, and lowered her voice, "Lin He is a very good friend of mine. I just came to witness her important day, and then I'll go back with you, okay?"
Sure enough, Lu Si's temper softened after being coaxed like this. He grumbled, "That's fine."
Mei Shu smiled, took his hand, and walked downstairs. "The people here today are all senior figures in the art world. They may not appreciate our presence. Let's find a quiet corner to stay."
"What's wrong with us?" Lu Si felt a bit wronged but still obediently followed her.
"Hey, Shu."
As they sat chatting, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside them.
Mei Shu looked up and, seeing the kindly face, quickly stood up and respectfully bowed, "Teacher Wu, I'm sorry, I should have greeted you first."
