Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Shu’s sudden teasing stunned Shi Bin.

Yuan Shu was beautiful to begin with, but she had been dressed too old-fashionedly before. In order to show that she was the wife of the head of the family, she always wore heavy makeup, making her look old and mean.

Now that she was no longer wearing heavy makeup and was dressed in a way that suited her, she was like a blooming rose. She was gorgeous, but not vulgar. Her eyes were sparkling, like a clear lake. She was so beautiful that she was glowing.

Shi Bin coughed and turned his head awkwardly.

“I’ll go downstairs first. Treat your wound and go rest.” Yuan Shu walked out after saying that. She only asked the doctor to treat his injuries.

When Yuan Shu arrived downstairs, Chu Mei was long gone.

When Yuan Shu was teaching Shi Bin a lesson, Chu Mei couldn’t sit still anymore.

This woman was too terrifying. She taught Shi Bin a lesson so ruthlessly and even dared to interfere in the affairs of outsiders. If Tan Zhao had resisted and won, she would have been so scared, but a seventeen to eighteen-year-old youth who was at the peak of his physical strength was beaten up by a “weak woman”. It could be seen how tough Yuan Shu was.

Chu Mei barely maintained her composure. After bidding farewell to Li Yue, she hurriedly ran out of the Shi family’s villa. She only felt safer when she sat in the car.

“Miss Chu, do you want to go home or to the hospital now?” The driver looked at the pale Chu Mei and asked worriedly.

“Let’s go… to the hospital first. I’m not feeling well.” Chu Mei held her stomach.

In the beginning, her stomachache was an act to gain the sympathy of Yuan Shu and her servants. However, after hearing the crisp sound of leather belts hitting flesh and Tan Zhao’s painful cries, Chu Mei’s abdomen began to ache for real.

She had a feeling that Yuan Shu was openly threatening her not to cause trouble. Otherwise, the outcome would be ten thousand times worse than that of the two people who were beaten up today.

The driver drove onto the road steadily.

Chu Mei leaned against the seat for a while before taking out her phone to call the number she knew by heart. As usual, she hung up after three rings. After she waited for about two minutes, the call returned.

“I remember telling you not to call me for the time being,” A man said with displeasure.

“I went to look for Yuan Shu, but things didn’t go well.” Chu Mei felt a little wronged, but she couldn’t lose her temper at this person, so she could only swallow her anger and explain.

“Yuan Shu seems to have gone crazy. She even dared to hit people.”

“Crazy? Isn’t that better? Yuan Shu is brainless to begin with. If she goes crazy, wouldn’t you have a better chance? Are you an idiot? You can’t even handle such a simple thing well.”

Chu Mei felt even more aggrieved. What she said was completely different from what the man was thinking.

“You better hurry up. The Li family already feels that something is wrong and is coming back,” the man on the other end of the phone suddenly said.

“Shi Xiao has been missing for almost half a month, so that crazy lap dog Li Ci is coming back to help his good friend deal with the situation. This time, he’s bringing Li Ran with him. If she finds out about us, she might do something.” The man chuckled. “So, Chu Mei, you’d better solve the problem quickly.”

When Chu Mei heard him say this, she broke out in cold sweat.

Li Ran was the wife of Gao Shan, the CEO of the entertainment company she was in. She was also the most beloved little sister of the current head of the Li family. She dated Gao Shan at university. After graduation, she married Gao Shan and helped him establish Star Creation Entertainment.

No matter how one looked at it, the two of them were a match made in heaven. However, unfortunately, after Li Ran was diagnosed with a blocked fallopian tube and she couldn’t get pregnant, Gao Shan started to keep celebrities outside. and the conflict between the couple deepened.

However, Li Ran was actually hopeless romantic. She refused to get a divorce no matter what and even refused to let Gao Shan have mistresses outside.

However, Gao Shan had already been womanizing for a year. How could he let it go just like that? Thus, this couple was like a cat catching a mouse. Gao Shan secretly kept mistresses while Li Ran caught them one by one. None of the mistresses she found ended up well.

Chu Mei was one of Gao Shan’s many mistresses. Moreover, a month ago, she found out that she was pregnant with Gao Shan’s child. The fetus was already two months old.

When he first found out about this, Gao Shan was very against her giving birth to the child. It would have been fine if Li Ran hadn’t discovered it, but once she did, not only would Chu Mei suffer, but Li Ran might also look for her uncle in a fit of anger.
