Shi Lu felt a little sorry for her.

Zhao Mian stood aside and waited for Chu Mei to vent her anger before he said coldly, "This is our second young master Shi Lu. Miss Chu, please stop talking nonsense."

Chu Mei stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

The eyes of the people around her were full of ridicule and contempt, and every sneer was enough to bring her down.

Chu Mei staggered back two steps and looked at everyone blankly. Even Gao Shan's eyes were filled with contempt and disgust.

This ridiculous man who only knew how to put on airs in front of others actually looked at her like trash.

Chu Mei also laughed, and tears came out of her eyes.

She had been climbing for so long, but now she realized that in the eyes of these rich people, she was just a plaything for them when they were happy. Once she lost her value, they would abandon her without hesitation and would not even give her a trace of mercy.

Okay, Gao Shan, since you are ruthless, don’t blame her for being ruthless!

Chu Mei raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and suddenly looked at Li Ran.

Li Ran was startled by her gaze and suddenly had a bad feeling that the child in his belly was related to Gao Shan!

No matter how she refused to let go all these years, it seemed as if her persistence would collapse in the next moment, and the man she held in her hand slipped through her fingers like quicksand.

She could allow rumors to spread outside, but as long as there was no evidence, she would not give up Gao Shan.

But the occasion is different today. Almost all the upper-class families are gathered here. Once Chu Mei admits that the child in her belly is Gao Shan's, it would be tantamount to slapping Li Ran in the face in public, and even the Li family would lose face.

The Li family can tolerate Gao Shan again and again for her, but they can never tolerate a disgraced man ruining the reputation of the Li family!

Li Ran has always been arrogant, but at this moment he was furious. He wanted to rush up and slap Chu Mei to make her shut up!

Chu Mei has no right to bring shame to the Li family!

Chu Mei saw that Li Ran's face was becoming more and more ugly, and his smile was becoming more and more arrogant. Even the anger in Li Ran's eyes gave her a sense of pleasure of revenge.

Gao Shan realized that the woman was going to fight to the death, and he panicked and immediately stood up to stop her.

Chu Mei looked at the man walking towards her and laughed wildly, "Since everyone is so concerned about the baby in my belly, I will tell you who the father of this child is!"

"Miss Chu!"

A light shout stopped Chu Mei from continuing. Yuan Shu walked past Shi Lu and came to the center of the hall, where everyone's eyes were focused.

She was wearing a white dress, which was obviously a simple outfit, but under the bright lights and the reflection of the light on the ground in Dali, she exuded a majesty that was hard to ignore. For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but feel awe.

The three siblings of the Shi family stood behind her and looked at her, as if they saw their eldest brother.

Although their fathers are different, they respect their eldest brother much more than their father. Over the years, from childhood to adulthood, they have always been proud of their eldest brother because he has helped them bear the pressure of the family.

The sudden sense of security filled them with pride and even made them stand up straight.

Chu Mei looked at Yuan Shu. She originally wanted to embarrass everyone, but the moment she and Yuan Shu looked at each other, she restrained herself. The invisible pressure made her speechless. When she thought of the young master of the Tan family being severely beaten, she suddenly came to her senses and began to feel scared.

Yuan Shu smiled. She had a dignified and elegant temperament, but there was no warmth in her eyes when she looked at Chu Mei. She turned to look at Zhao Mian and said, "Miss Chu is not feeling well. Secretary Zhao, please take Miss Chu to rest first."

Although Zhao Mian didn't quite understand Yuan Shu's approach, the time they had spent together over the past few days was enough to make her carry out Yuan Shu's orders without hesitation.

Li Ran and Gao Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief after Zhao Mian took the frightened Chu Mei out of the hall. They then realized that their backs were covered in sweat and then collapsed on the sofa.

Shi Bin had a bad temper and could never hold back. He didn't understand what Yuan Shu meant and wanted to ask her directly, but in front of so many people, he naturally knew that he couldn't embarrass her, so he had to hold it back.

After Yuan Shu turned around and looked at everyone, her flowing skirt fluttered with her movements.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's mood. I hope everyone will not be affected by this little episode. Please enjoy this cocktail party."

What Yuan Shu said made sense, so everyone didn't say anything more. They raised their glasses to Yuan Shu from a distance, drank it all, and then the party continued.

Shi Yi looked at Yuan Shu with a cold face the whole time. She didn't expect that she was so bold and could save the situation at this time. It seemed that she had a deep misunderstanding of her sister-in-law.

Shi Yi is a woman. Although she is usually easy-going when abroad, she is well aware of the twists and turns in the upper-class circles. She understands her current situation better than her two brothers.

The awkward situation between the other two families was resolved by Yuan Shu's few words. No wonder Shi Bin and Shi Lu listened to her so obediently.

At the same time, she also regretted that she cared too much about this matter. When she heard that it was the child of the Shi family, she hurried back to China and was used by Chu Mei.

Now that no one was paying attention to her, she sneaked out of the hall and took out her cell phone to arrange things abroad.

It seems that I have to stay at home for a while and see what this sister-in-law wants to do.

On the other side, when everyone went to have fun, Shi Bin sat in front of Yuan Shu.

"Hey..." He was originally dissatisfied, and when he saw Yuan Shu, he immediately said, "Why are you stopping Chu Mei? The child in her belly is obviously not ours, why don't you let her tell the truth?"

Shi Lu was also watching coldly from the side. Everyone had different opinions. They only knew that Yuan Shu resolved the awkward situation, but he was very clear that Yuan Shu helped Chu Mei. Why did this woman help Chu Mei? Could it be because she was a saint?

Yuan Shu has always been decisive in doing things and never had to explain her actions to others, but she felt it necessary to teach this simple-minded young master of the Shi family some social etiquette.

Yuan Shu was about to explain, but Li Ci came over with a glass of red wine and said, "I have to thank Mrs. Shi for her help this time."

Li Ci smiled, but it was a sly smile. Although he said thank you, there was no gratitude in his tone.

Yuan Shu smiled coldly, "I'm just helping you, Mr. Li, you don't have to be so polite. I believe that even if I don't say it, you won't let her say it."

Li Ci was stunned. He actually felt that they were evenly matched.

Yuan Shu has been the head of the family for so many years and is very sensitive to people's reactions. She sees everything.

From the way Chu Mei looks at Gao Shan, it is not difficult to guess the relationship between the child in her belly and Gao Shan.

Now everyone is speculating that Chu Mei’s child is not from the Shi family at all. Whether she tells the truth or not, it will not have any impact on the Shi family.

But the Li family is different. The topic is so sensational and so many people are paying attention to it. Once the Li family is involved, even if there is no big commotion, it will be enough to make them noisy for a while.

Yuan Shu stopped Chu Mei at this time just to take the opportunity to make the Li family owe her a favor.
