Chapter 61: Making Use of

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As Chu Mei sat in the dressing room, she was unable to sit still.

The press conference was about to begin, which meant that she only had a few hours left in her acting career.

She thought that Yuan Shu would at least let her stay for a while longer for s.h.i.+ Lus sake, but she didnt expect Yuan Shu to be so heartless.

She really had no choice. She even called Gao Shan as a last-ditch effort.

However, Gao Shan was even more ruthless. He blocked her number and even ignored his own flesh and blood.

Heh, Chu Mei felt disdain inside. Such a man would always prioritize benefits. If it had nothing to do with him, he would ignore it. He even used a woman like her to ward off the rumors.

Now, he couldnt even protect himself, so he didnt care about anything else. Back then, when Gao Shan strangled her and threatened her not to touch this child, he acted so arrogantly. Now, he was just a pug with his tail between his legs!

The manager walked over. The news conference is about to begin. Are you ready?

Chu Mei bit her lower lip with an indignant look and said to her manager, Do I really have to go? Once this news conference starts, I wont have the chance to stay in the entertainment industry anymore.

The manager didnt seem to care at all and only reminded her, Its okay. As long as you tell the truth, Gao Shan will be kicked out of the Li family. At that time, he will have nothing left. He will only have you and the child. Are you afraid that he wont treat you and the child well?

The more Chu Mei listened, the more she felt that there was something wrong. Back then, she only wanted to climb up the social ladder so that she could rise up in the entertainment industry. It was her manager who set her up with Gao Shan. Then, the two of them had a child, which was why so many things happened later.

Actually, she no longer had any feelings for Gao Shan, but for the sake of the child in her stomach, she still had to leave herself a way out.

It sounded like Chu Meis manage was helping Chu Mei on the surface, but she wanted Chu Mei to expose the scandal. Not only did she want to implicate Gao Shan, but she also wanted to implicate the Li family.

Chu Mei wasnt a fool. After she carefully recalled the ins and outs of the entire matter, she realized that her manager had played a role in helping encourage it.

Could it be that Chu Mei had been used by her manager?

Once she had this thought, Chu Mei could no longer face her manager calmly.

Her gaze was vigilant as she looked at her manager. What exactly do you want to use me to do?

The manager was stunned for a moment, as if she felt a little guilty about being suddenly exposed, but she quickly regained her calm. After she placed her hands on Chu Meis shoulders, she bent down slightly to look at her. Sister Chu, what are you talking about? How would I dare to use you? I just want to help you and the child in your stomach find a safety net.

The manager raised his hand and tidied Chu Meis hair. Back then, you listened to Gao Shan and provoked s.h.i.+ Xiao. How can the s.h.i.+ family let it go so easily? You definitely have to hold this news conference. When the time comes, how will you be able to fork out the compensation for the breach of contract with the company? You can only rely on Gao Shan. If you let him off at this press conference, he definitely wont admit to the child in your stomach and no one will help you pay for your breach of contract.

This manager had been by Chu Meis side for two years, so he knew Chu Meis temper and what she was worried about.

With that said, Chu Mei didnt hesitate anymore. Instead, she focused on thinking about how to make Gao Shan pay the price.

Just as the news conference was about to begin, Chu Mei suddenly received a call.

It was actually from s.h.i.+ Lu.

Chu Mei was impatient, but she didnt dare to scold him. Shen s.h.i.+ Lu, what else do you want? Im going to hold a press conference as promised. Dont go overboard.

s.h.i.+ Lu had no time to waste on her. If you dont want to be used as a tool, dont say anything at the press conference. Promote our new movie, Gunshot, and then come back to the set as soon as possible.

What do you mean? Before s.h.i.+ Lu could understand, the call had already ended.

Chu Mei was speechless. The s.h.i.+ family was really difficult to handle. Yuan Shu threatened Chu Mei into holding a press conference to clarify things, while the second young master of the s.h.i.+ family wanted her to stay silent.. Did they take her for a monkey?
