Shi Mei had already brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of Tang Huai Zhang, "Commander Tang, please have some tea." Tang Huai Zhang nodded, "Thank you. Where’s Jian Yun?" Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel•fire.net The moment the words left his lips, Jian Yun emerged from the washroom. Seeing Tang Huai Zhang, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Honey, you’re here." As she spoke, she had already approached and sat down beside Tang Huai Zhang, "Have you met Shi Mei? Shi Mei, come over here." Shi Mei stood behind the sofa and, hearing Jian Yun’s words, sat down opposite them. Shi Lingyan naturally took a seat as well, asking Tang Huai Zhang, "How’s the tea?" Tang Huai Zhang hadn’t had a chance to drink yet, but upon hearing this, his gaze fell on the teacup in front of him. The teacup was a white, transparent double-walled insulating cup. The pale green liquid floated with vibrant tea leaves, giving it a beautiful, clear appearance. He picked up the cup, took a gentle sniff, and the crisp fragrance of the Dragon Well tea invigorated his spirits. Taking a light sip, Tang Huai Zhang couldn’t stop praising, "You managed to get the spring tea so quickly?" "I have a friend who sells tea. They specially sought out a channel to get it for me," Shi Mei spoke softly, her voice tinged with a hint of a smile, "Glad you like it." "You’ve got taste," Tang Huai Zhang commented as he looked around at the decor, "Nice, simple, but not simplistic." The home’s decor was minimalist, themed around wood colors and white, with a bit of an artistic bent. There was a guitar and a lute hanging on the living room wall, conspicuously placed on either side. Tang Huai Zhang had noticed them the moment he walked in. The living room was quite spacious. Aside from the lute and guitar, there was also a piano on the fully enclosed balcony. Green plants thrived on the balcony, accompanied by a white piano. With the sunset casting its glow, the scene was touched with the romantic calm of times gone by. It was quite similar to the style that Tang Wu had been fond of. Tang Huai Zhang, without a change in expression, withdrew his gaze and took another sip. Jian Yun sat next to Tang Huai Zhang and began excitedly introducing Shi Mei, "Honey, Shi Mei is the Senior Sister I’ve told you about. She’s very talented. Not only is she beautiful and can play instruments and sing, but she is also a freshman at Imperial College." Tang Huai Zhang was a bit surprised, "You can dance too?" Shi Mei was a little shy, "A little." "It’s more than a little, she dances very well," Jian Yun said while clinging to Tang Huai Zhang’s arm, "She also collaborated with mom once. Mom even wrote her a letter of recommendation, which she used to report directly to school. But I don’t know what this girl was thinking, she didn’t use the recommendation letter to come to me or Director Qin. She just went for the interview today, passed it with flying colors. Teacher Wang who conducted the interview was so surprised that he called me, saying he’d found a treasure. Now, all three interviewers are trying to snatch her up." Shi Mei looked at Jian Yun in surprise. She really hadn’t known any of this, as Jian Yun hadn’t told her before. Catching Shi Mei’s gaze, Jian Yun said, "Don’t get too proud, there’s still a lot to learn in the future." Shi Mei smiled, "I will!" Tang Huai Zhang couldn’t help but look at Shi Mei and ask, "Are your parents also artists?" Jian Yun nudged him, appearing somewhat reproachful. Tang Huai Zhang was puzzled, but indeed, Shi Mei spoke, "No." Tang Jingming, who was nearby, chimed in, "Shi Mei’s parents had an accident when she was very young. She was raised by her aunt and uncle. But that family was vampiric; they even drove her to become a fool. After she returned to normal, she cut ties with them."
