After Yuan Shu brought s.h.i.+ Yi into the lounge, without looking at Chu Mei, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, she walked straight to the sofa at the door.

Her movements were not fast, and every step she took was steady and elegant. She didnt make a single sound when she stepped on the pure wool carpet.

Even when she sat down and straightened her back, not a single strand of her hair fluttered. s.h.i.+ Yi, who was following behind Yuan Shu, was shocked. How did she manage to walk so quickly but with such gracefulness? When Yuan Shu sat down, s.h.i.+ Yi finally realized that she was standing beside the sofa with her.

At this moment, things were very awkward. She couldnt turn around and go to the other armchair, let alone sit on the same sofa as Yuan Shu, so she could only stand behind Yuan Shu.

What was going on? No matter how she looked at it, this position looked like when she would stand behind her brother when she went out with him occasionally.

Moreover, she couldnt help but feel a trace of reverence for Yuan Shu, just like she did for her brother.

As soon as s.h.i.+ Yi stood up, Yuan Shu said, There are many things to attend to at the banquet, so 1 got a little delayed. Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Chu.

Chu Mei had already wiped the juice stains on her body with a towel sent by the servant. She also wiped off her makeup, which had been smudged from crying, revealing her pale and listless face.

After the commotion just now, she no longer had any arrogance and she carefully protected her stomach like a female cat who had just given birth to a kitten.

What do you want to do by bringing me to the lounge?! Let me tell you, the child in my stomach is your family

Shut up! Seeing that she still wanted to quibble, s.h.i.+ Yi was furious. Coupled with the anger that she had been holding back for a long time, she shouted at Chu Mei.

Dont tell me you think well believe that the child in your stomach is my brothers after that commotion just now? Who do you think you are?! How dare you let our family take responsibility for the b.a.s.t.a.r.d in your stomach?!

Chu Mei didnt expect s.h.i.+ Yi to be so fierce and was frightened for a moment. Then, tears immediately flowed out of her eyes and she stammered, unable to speak.

Yuan Shu raised her hand to stop s.h.i.+ Yi from continuing.

She said to Chu Mei, Its in mans nature to strive for better. Youre not wrong to want to use the child in your stomach to continue climbing up the social ranks.

Chu Mei was stunned. She didnt expect Yuan Shu to say that she wasnt in the wrong. However, what Yuan Shu said next was like the belt she used that day. It whipped her heart again and again, making her feel even more humiliated than directly hitting her body.

Yuan Shus gaze was sharp, as if she was looking at a fool. Your mistake was that you werent smart enough and got manipulated. You werent a.s.sertive enough and failed to obtain more.

Yuan Shu leaned back slightly and it seemed as if she was saying the second half of the sentence to Chu Mei, but in fact, she was saying it to s.h.i.+ Yi. As a woman, you should use all kinds of methods to obtain as much as you can for yourself. However, before you ask for anything, you have to think about whether you have the ability to protect it! Even if you get an ident.i.ty that everyone pays attention to, do you think you can bear the pressure this ident.i.ty brings you?

When s.h.i.+ Yi heard this, her anger suddenly dissipated and she looked at Yuan Shu in a daze. Yuan Shus back was clearly facing her, but she felt as if she had been stabbed.

She recalled that when she heard Chu Meis call, she immediately booked a plane ticket back to the country. In the end, she made such a mistake. Now that she heard Yuan Shus words, she realized her impulsiveness.

Yuan Shu didnt continue this topic. Instead, she looked at Chu Mei as she said coldly and mercilessly,

Miss Chu, my family has been putting up an act with you for a long time. Now, its time to end it.

Chu Mei didnt know how to react at all. She also didnt know why the brainless and arrogant heiress, Yuan Shu, who had been played by her previously, suddenly changed and made her feel fear.

What what do you want?

Yuan Shu said calmly, How you told the media that the child belonged to my s.h.i.+ family is how you will tell them that the child has nothing to do with the s.h.i.+ family.

Impossible!
