A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family

Sharp Tongue

Tan Zhao was a little puzzled. His intuition told him that it was a trap. Just as he was about to refuse, he was provoked by Shi Bin, who was watching. “Young Master Tan, you can’t possibly be afraid to come, right? Fair enough. After all, you’re not valued by your family. Any errand boy can deal with you.”

When Tan Zhao heard this, he immediately agreed to Yuan Shu’s invitation and mocked Shi Bin. “Why wouldn’t I dare to go? As for you, you only know how to tattletale to your parents and hide behind women. That’s all you’ve got?”

The two of them mocked each other as they walked towards the Shi family’s car. Shi Bin was the first to enter the car.

Tan Zhao glanced at Shi Bin, who was sitting in the back seat. He didn’t want to sit with him, so he snorted and went to the front passenger seat.

Seeing that they had both chosen their seats, Yuan Shu sat down as well.

The tense atmosphere in the car made the driver afraid to speak. He stole a glance at the rearview mirror as he guessed the situation. Then, he retracted his gaze and focused on driving.

The four of them were silent the entire way. They quickly returned to the Shi family’s villa.

In the villa, the family doctor had already examined Chu Mei, who was fine. At this moment, Li Yue understood that Chu Mei was just acting. Her stomachache was all an act and perhaps her pregnancy was also fake.

Chu Mei was more cunning and sly than Yuan Shu. If she married into the Shi family, wouldn’t she cause mayhem?

Chu Mei leaned back against the sofa comfortably as she looked at the warm tea and snacks on the table and she said gently, “I’m pregnant, so I can’t drink tea. Please pour me a cup of fruit juice to replenish the child’s vitamins.”

Li Yue was somewhat speechless, but she didn’t intend to ignore Chu Mei. Just as she was about to turn around and do as she was told, she heard the sound of a car parking outside.

Yuan Shu and the others arrived home.

Li Yue ignored Chu Mei and turned to walk towards the door. She didn’t believe that Yuan Shu could really bring the Fourth Young Master back, so she wanted to see how miserable Yuan Shu was.

Soon, Yuan Shu walked in with Shi Bin and Tan Zhao behind her.

Li Yue was stunned. Yuan Shu had really brought Shi Bin back?

Seeing them enter the room, Chu Mei hurriedly stood up and greeted them. She even touched her abdomen as she said, “Madam, you’re back. Can we talk now?”

Shi Bin noticed her and sized her up as he snorted. “Who are you?”

“Hello, Fourth Young Master. Hello, Young Master Tan. I’m Chu Mei.” Chu Mei lowered her head gently and put on a pitiful appearance.

Her days of filming allowed her to know which angle she looked best from and which angle made her look delicate and fragile. Unfortunately, this time, Tan Zhao, who had a low EQ, was here.

“Oh, I’ve seen you on television before. You’re the one who slacked off during performance when your idol group debuted, right? You even acted in a mentally retarded television drama last year. Your acting skills aren’t good either, and you only know how to glare and stick out your tongue. However, your figure is not bad. You look quite sexy in a swimsuit. Two days ago, I think someone filmed you returning to the hotel with another man in the middle of the night. Who was that man?”

Chu Mei’s smile froze on her face.

“I didn’t know that the threshold of the Shi family was so low now. Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can sneak in?” Shi Bin had been holding back his anger since he fought with Tan Zhao and entered the police station. After Yuan Shu picked them up, he had been mocked nonstop. Now that he finally found a place to vent his anger, he immediately vented all his anger on Chu Mei.

Chu Mei could no longer maintain her smile, and her expression became uglier.

If she remembered correctly, today was the first time she had seen Fourth Young Master and Third Young Master Tan. She had never offended them before.

In the end, one of them had been glowering at her since he entered the room, while the other mocked her and exposed everything she had done. What was going on?!

“Fourth Young Master, I…” Chu Mei squeezed out two drops of tears as she tried to explain pitifully.

“Enough, go upstairs now.” Yuan Shu didn’t let the two of them argue with Chu Mei anymore.

It was fine if two descendants of aristocratic families fought in the street, but if the two of them quarreled with Chu Mei and word got out, wouldn’t they be laughed at for bullying a weak woman? Moreover, they were bullying Chu Mei in her own home. The media might fabricate an even more ridiculous story!

Hearing Yuan Shu’s words, Shi Bin shut his mouth without a word. But on second thought, he felt that something was wrong.

Why should he listen to her? Shi Bin was about to retort when he saw Tan Zhao walking upstairs.
