Unlike Yuan Shu, who was deep in thought, and Shi Yi, who was beaming with joy, Chu Mei’s face instantly turned pale.

A blood test? How could she agree?! If they found out that this wasn’t Shi Xiao’s child, she would be screwed!

Chu Mei staggered back a step and hurriedly waved her hand as she said anxiously, “That’ll be too late! I still have to go to the production team tomorrow. I’m pregnant, so sleeping too late won’t be good for the baby…”

Shi Yi immediately grabbed her hand tightly and approached her step by step. Then, she poked Chu Mei’s shoulder with her index finger. “Don’t tell me you’re feeling guilty? Chu Mei, I returned to the country because of your call! Do you think I’m very idle? Do you think I’m a fool? Even if you’re going to give birth tomorrow, you have to draw blood tonight!”

Chu Mei was completely anxious. Shi Yi’s hand was like a pair of pincers on her arm, and she couldn’t break free no matter how hard she tried.

She had listened to her manager and came to look for Shi Yi because she saw her as her last hope for entering the Shi family. She didn’t expect to attract trouble instead!

Chu Mei felt her heart skip a beat and her heart was beating like a drum!

Her gaze swept around and finally landed on Yuan Shu, who was standing there quietly in a daze.

Yuan Shu’s dress was so white and beautiful…

As she thought about it, she pounced in Yuan Shu’s direction.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Shi Yi subconsciously let go of Chu Mei’s hand.

Shi Lu saw that something was wrong and was about to pull Yuan Shu to the side.

However, Yuan Shu reacted faster and immediately moved to the side.

Chu Mei missed and even her tilted fruit juice was splashed out. The antique plate on the top of the high platform was also shattered.

Everyone exclaimed in shock. Gao Shan, who was standing in the distance, was furious.

Yuan Shu and the three people from the Shi family were silent for a few seconds. Then, they looked at each other and exchanged looks of dismay.

Since everyone was wearing gowns, it was inconvenient to help her, especially since this woman was Chu Mei.

They reacted quickly, and so did the media. All the cameras immediately took photos of Chu Mei’s indecent posture.

Zhao Mian immediately called for three servants to put down the tray in their hands and follow her to deal with the situation.

After she glanced at Yuan Shu and then at the broken plates, she asked one of the servants to wipe the stains on the ground while the other two dragged Chu Mei up.

Zhao Mian said coldly, “What a coincidence. You broke an antique plate worth 30 million yuan. I think you need to give us an answer before you leave tonight.”

Chu Mei’s entire body trembled uncontrollably. Her face, which was buried in the hem of her skirt, gradually became smudged from crying.

After being dragged up by two servants, she was forced to raise her head and glare at everyone in front of her. When she saw Shen Lu staring at her with an impassive expression, she completely lost it!

Her two hands tore at the gorgeous hem of her dress. She didn’t care if she was facing the media camera or if the angle was good. She shouted in a sharp voice, “Listen to me, I want to reveal something!”

The whispers around her became louder and louder, but Chu Mei couldn’t care less. Since she was doomed, she would drag someone down with her and expose Gao Shan!

She looked angrily at Gao Shan, who was standing in the distance as if it had nothing to do with him, and sneered.

What was he still pretending for?

In any case, she wouldn’t be able to escape tonight. The child’s matter would definitely be exposed.

If she was done for, Gao Shan wouldn’t end up well either!

After Chu Mei broke free from the servant who was pulling her, she said loudly, “Everyone saw it today, right? Beside Yuan Shu, there is the Fourth Young Master of the Shi family, Shi Bin, and an actor, Shen Lu! I believe everyone is very curious about their relationship, right? Actually, Shen Lu is Yuan Shu’s man!”

After saying this, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.

Then, there was laughter and discussion.

Everyone’s reaction was a little different from what Chu Mei had imagined..
