Chu Mei exclaimed.

She had made such a blunder and completely disregarded her own reputation. Everyone knew that she was pregnant. If she opened a press conference to announce to the world that she was lying, she would no longer be able to survive in the entertainment industry!

She had been in the entertainment industry for so long and even climbed into Gao Shan’s bed. It wasn’t for today’s ending! Now, she was penniless and her only movie, Gunshot, was still being filmed. If she left the entertainment industry now, she wouldn’t be able to get a single cent.

At that time, it would be difficult for her to even support herself, let alone the child in her stomach.

She wouldn’t think that Gao Shan would still help her deal with the aftermath at a time like this. Moreover, this was the Shi family. Gao Shan didn’t have the ability to help her deal with the aftermath!

Chu Mei shook her head crazily. “I can’t hold a news conference to clarify things. Don’t even think about it!”

Seeing her crazy look, Yuan Shu frowned slightly with a trace of disgust. She hated stupid people the most.

Chu Mei had already completely lost the right to negotiate with her, but she was still trying to use unreasonable pestering to resist telling the truth. She was so stupid!

Yuan Shu disdained talking to brainless people the most, so she closed her eyes with impatience. “Miss Chu, you can think about it yourself. Should you hold this news conference yourself or should my family? That’s all I have to say. Forgive me for not sending you off.”

Yuan Shu gave the servant standing at the door a look, and the servant walked over and “invited” Chu Mei to leave.

Chu Mei was completely afraid now. She knew that it was useless for her to say anything else. Just like a person who had fallen into the water trying her best to grab the last piece of driftwood, she said the only thing she could think of now.

“Shen Lu! No, it’s Shi Lu! This concerns Shi Lu’s future!”

Yuan Shu raised her eyes and looked at her coldly with a look that said, “Go on.”

Chu Mei broke free from the servant’s grip on her arm and said loudly, as if she was giving herself courage, “Shi Lu and 1 signed a bet agreement for this movie! If I hold a press conference tomorrow, I will definitely be blacklisted by the entertainment industry. Once I get blacklisted, Gunshot won’t be able to continue filming! At that time, Shi Lu’s efforts for the past month will be in vain, and those capitalists who invested in him won’t get a single cent. At that time, Shi Lu might be affected!”

She did say something that might make Yuan Shu worry, but this worry only lasted for ten seconds.

Yuan Shu stopped looking at her and stood up to walk out. At the same time, she said, “1 look forward to Miss Chu’s good news tomorrow.”

Shi Yi followed Yuan Shu out. Yuan Shu wasn’t soft-hearted at all and her words were quite harsh. Even as an audience, she felt a little intimidated.

If Yuan Shu could be so ruthless to a woman, she would only be more decisive when dealing with other things.

From the looks of it, Yuan Shu’s attitude towards him was quite gentle.

Yuan Shu’s pace wasn’t fast, but Shi Yi felt that she couldn’t keep up and could only chase after Yuan Shu with small steps. In the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “You really don’t care about the impact of this matter on Shi Lu?”

After hearing this, Yuan Shu suddenly stopped and looked at Shi Yi.

Caught off guard, Shi Yi couldn’t stop in time and staggered.

Yuan Shu looked at her indifferently. “Your aesthetic taste is indeed good. Your clothes are all top-notch. Unfortunately, your bearing isn’t worthy of your aesthetic taste.”

Shi Yi blushed and wanted to refute, but she couldn’t. Indeed, even if she had good posture, she was far inferior to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu’s nobility came more or less from her dignified bearing and temperament. This came from years of experience.

However, when she saw her a month ago, she was still a frivolous woman. How did she change so much in just a month?!

Fortunately, Yuan Shu didn’t intend to dwell on this topic. She answered Shi Yi, “Firstly, 1, Yuan Shu, will never be threatened by anyone. So, from the moment Chu Mei said that, she already lost. Secondly, since Shi Lu dared to sign the bet agreement, she has to have the ability to deal with failure. It’s unlike the Shi family to compromise when something bad happens..”
