    The long corridor that Yuan Shu and Shi Yi took led straight to the hall of the banquet. The ss door of the hall was open, and the noise of the banquet and the violinist’s outstanding music echoed clearly in the corridor.


    Yuan Shu’s sonorous words echoed in Shi Yi’s mind.


    Only then did she realize that in terms of principles, she was worlds apart from Yuan Shu. In terms of bearing, she was far inferior to Yuan Shu.


    When Yuan Shu returned to the hall, Shi Yi was pulled away by a few good friends to chat.


    The banquet was held in an orderly manner. Shi Lu was very at ease in front of a group of young masters and youngdies from aristocratic families. When he saw Yuan Shu return, he walked towards Yuan Shu.


    Yuan Shu praised Shi Lu inwardly. She was right. Although Shi Lu had always been negelcted in the Shi family and had always pretended to be aloof in the entertainment industry, in reality, he was just used to watching everything coldly.


    Yuan Shu was certain that he was the most knowledgeable person in the Shi family. As long as he wanted to, he would definitely be able to impress the other party in a conversation.


    Shi Lu walked up to Yuan Shu. Before she could remove the fake smile on her face, he greeted sincerely, “Sister-inw.


    Yuan Shu nodded slightly to express her affirmation.


    Shi Lu’s change of impression regarding Yuan Shu was even moreplicated. From the initial anger to probing, to discovering that her rtionship with her family was the same as his, the feeling of empathy made him feel closer to Yuan Shu, as if she was his family.


    However, after Yuan Shu’s affirmation of Shi Lu outside the hall and the change in everyone’s impression of him during the socializing, Shi Lu’s respect for Yuan Shu had already turned into admiration from the bottom of his heart.


    He asked, “Sister-inw, how’s the matter going?”


    Yuan Shu didn’t say much about the process and only said the result. “Chu Mei will rify the rumors tomorrow.”


    Shi Lu nodded. “Then she wall also disappear from the entertainment industry.” He recalled his previous doubts and asked, “But why did you stop her just now? She clearly nned to tell the truth.”


    Yuan Shu crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and nced at Shi Lu indifferently. The three siblings of the Shi family had all asked this question, but only Shi Lu was conflicted about it to the end. This might also be rted to his personality. The more he pretended to be indifferent, the more he would get to the bottom of things he cared about.


    He didn’t care about Chu Mei, but the sister-inw in front of him.


    Yuan Shu exined, “Because at that time, she was irrational and couldn’t be responsible for what she said.” She paused and suddenly nced in Li Ran’s direction, but it was only a brief nce. “The Li family wouldn’t have stood by and did nothing either. This is our banquet, so we shouldn’t let outsiders be the protagonists of this banquet.”


    Only then did Shi Lu realize how clearly Yuan Shu distinguished between insiders and outsiders, and how ruthless she was to outsiders. He originally thought that Yuan Shu stopped Chu Mei to save her, but it turned out that at that moment, she had already made countless ns. Just by stopping Chu Mei, she could take advantage of the situation to exchange for a favor from the Li family and the situation would still be under the Shi family’s control.


    She trusted her family unconditionally, was reasonable and tolerant, and even gave him a chance to establish himself in the Shi family, instead of suppressing the other three siblings for the sake of her status.


    Shi Lu suddenly felt lucky that she was her family and not her match.


    As Li Ran sat in the middle of a group of wealthydies, she suddenly saw Yuan Shu’s indifferent gaze. Her heart skipped a beat and she actually felt a little afraid.


    But it onlysted for an instant.


    Li Ran was definitely not someone who could be manipted by others.


    She swirled the cocktail in her ss and finished it in one gulp. Then, she stood up to bid farewell to everyone and went to look for Li Ci.


    Li Ci was standing in a quiet spot and no one dared to disturb him, so Li Ran walked over.


    “Uncle, Yuan Shu isn’t as simple as she seems.”


    Li Ci’s position wasn’t eye-catching. He could see everyone, but others might not notice him. At this moment, he was looking at Yuan Shu, who was chatting with Shi Lu.


    Her temperament was mature and calm, a stark contrast from her previous pompousness. She clearly had the same face, but she gave people the feeling that she was a different person.


    Her way of doing things and the words she said made people respect her and feel curious about her. It seemed that he had to interact with her more in the future..
