Why did it seem sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy? Did everyone here like to drink such drinks?

The hall was silent for two seconds before applause immediately sounded. Then, laughter resumed.

Yuan Shu felt that it was no big deal.

In the past, as the head of the household, she had to deal with such occasions often, so she was already familiar with such pleasantries.

As Yuan Shu walked deeper into the hall, she thought to herself, This is similar to the past. I have to say something nice on important occasions.

Li Ran, who was sitting at the side, was surprised. Yuan Shus gentle and calm appearance just now made her look like a young lady from a wealthy family. She seemed to be even more charming than when she saw her in the Vienna Hotel that day.

She sat beside Li Ci and took a c.o.c.ktail.

Gao Shan was squatting by their feet while tidying Li Rans skirt.

She s.h.i.+fted her gaze away from Yuan Shu and looked down at Gao Shan. Just as she was about to smile, she saw Chu Mei sitting not far away and she had a complicated expression on her face. She seemed unwilling, angry, and amused?

However, Li Ran couldnt be bothered to think about this and she glanced at Chu Mei coldly.

She was dressed in a gaudy red dress and heavy makeup on her big face.

What a tacky woman.

Chu Mei was originally looking at Gao Shan and cursing him inwardly. However, she suddenly met Li Rans eyes and was shocked!

Chu Mei trembled, then turned around, as if nothing had happened. When she saw s.h.i.+ Yi, who was sitting quietly and deep in thought, she wanted to say a few words to her.

Sensing Chu Meis movements, s.h.i.+ Yi rolled her eyes at her and gave her a warning look.

s.h.i.+ Yi was about to tell Chu Mei not to bother her when she saw Yuan Shu being surrounded by s.h.i.+ Bin and s.h.i.+ Lu.

s.h.i.+ Yi immediately stood up and waved at Chu Mei to follow her.

Chu Mei looked in the direction s.h.i.+ Yi left in. After glancing at Yuan Shu, she hurriedly picked up the fruit juice she had asked for and glanced at the pa.s.sing waiter. Then, she sighed and followed him.

So what if she was dressed so glamorously? What was the difference between her and this handyman in front of her?

No! Chu Mei looked at Shen Lu, who was standing beside Yuan Shu, and gritted her teeth.

They were all working hard for others, but at least this handyman had a stable job. Not only was she worried about this and that every day, but if the childs matter was exposed, it would be light punishment if only her reputation was ruined. She might actually be tortured to death by Li Ran and Gao Shan!

They were both kept women, but Shen Lu could stand beside Yuan Shu and live a carefree life with n.o.bility written all over her face!

After s.h.i.+ Yi approached Yuan Shu and the other two, she greeted s.h.i.+ Bin. Its been a long time since we last met. Are you r.e.t.a.r.ded now? Why are you following this woman? Dont you hate her?

Looking at s.h.i.+ Yis widened eyes, s.h.i.+ Bin twisted the chameleon gem brooch on his suit and blushed.

He wanted to retort, but he didnt dare to.

She didnt understand!

s.h.i.+ Bin scratched his head anxiously. In the end, he couldnt think of anything convincing to say, so he said, What do you know? Then, he hurriedly ran to the table filled with desserts and pretended to be looking for food.

As s.h.i.+ Yi looked at her brothers fleeing figure, she suspected that Yuan Shu had poisoned him.

If this was in the past, the two of them would have quarreled for 30 rounds.

Yuan Shu looked at s.h.i.+ Yis pretty face in confusion. While the two of them were talking, she quickly searched her memories and said calmly, You look very good today. Why did you suddenly come back?

s.h.i.+ Yi ignored s.h.i.+ Lu, who was standing at the side, and looked straight at Yuan Shu as she mocked, Who are you to evaluate my aesthetic taste? Also, if this d.a.m.n woman hadnt kept calling me, I wouldnt have known that you were so useless.

s.h.i.+ Yi raised her chin at Chu Mei and continued, Didnt you have quite some tricks up your sleeve when you married into the family? Have you used up your brain on the day you tricked my brother into sleeping with you? Youve only been married for a few months, but your pregnant mistress has already come to me!
