Shi Lu and Yuan Shu tidied up their makeup and clothes that had been messed up by the reporters in the elevator. After the elevator door opened, a handsome man and a beautiful woman emerged.

Shi Lu stuffed his right hand into the pocket of his suit pants and bent his left arm. Then, Yuan Shu held his left arm gently. She held a small and exquisite pearl handbag in her other hand and followed Shi Lu into the banquet hall elegantly.

Yuan Shu looked graceful and stunning. Many people were originally chatting, but when they glanced at Yuan Shu, they were so mesmerized that they forgot what they were saying and stared at her intently.

Even the people in front of her noticed that everyone was looking back at her and froze for a moment. After they bumped into the waiter walking towards them, the tray in their hands trembled and the wine spilled.

Yuan Shu nodded and greeted everyone politely. She was surprised to find that many of the people present tonight were people who had attended the banquet at the Shi family’s ancestral home a month ago.

However, Li Ci’s appearance surprised Yuan Shu. She didn’t expect the two of them to meet so quickly after yesterday’s incident.

However, after seeing Zhou Xin, the eldest son of the Zhou family beside Li Ci, Yuan Shu understood what was going on.

After Chu Mei held two news conferences to shift the focus of the reporters’ attention from the Shi family to the Li family, Li Ci asked an employee from Zhou Xin’s Xinchcn Entertainment Media Company to expose that she had a child, which diverted the attention of the public.

It was enough to show that the relationship between the two families was extraordinary.

Li Ci raised the glass of red wine in his hand high and tapped it in Yuan Shu’s direction as a greeting.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly in response. Then, she held Shi Lu’s arm as she walked in to greet the production team.

In the room upstairs of the hotel’s banquet hall, Gao Shan was watching the cocktail party proceed in an orderly manner through the surveillance cameras.

He felt indignant. When had the organizer ever not invited him to such an occasion? Didn’t they always beg him to go? That was why he always reluctantly agreed to go. He actually had no idea about today’s cocktail party at all. If not for the news that person gave him, he would still be waiting at the company!

The culprit behind all of this was Li Ci!

Gao Shan punched the glass coffee table beside him, causing the glass on the coffee table to tremble.

Suddenly, the cell phone on the table vibrated. After Gao Shan picked up the call, the person on the other end of the phone said in a low voice, “I’ve changed my mind. Listen to my arrangements and don’t act rashly.”

Gao Shan panicked. “Don’t tell me you don’t want to help me anymore.”

That person sneered. “Don’t worry, not everyone is as dishonest as you.”

Gao Shan wanted to say something else, but the call had already been hung up.

Yuan Shu accompanied Shi Lu to chat with the director and assistant director of the production team. The assistant director said politely, “Madam Shi, you’re dressed up today. You’ve really made all the female guests present pale in comparison! I wonder if you’re interested in entering the entertainment industry. It’ll be my honor to be able to film you.”

Although his words seemed like pleasantry, they were truthful. After all, Yuan Shu’s outfit was so eye-catching that everyone couldn’t help but take a second glance.

Yuan Shu smiled and said, “You’re really good at joking. It’s all thanks to my stylist.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Sheng suddenly said to the production team and actors, “It just so happens that I want to introduce someone to everyone. He’s a famous musician! He just returned to the country recently, and countless people have extended offers to him! I spent a lot of effort to invite him to the ball!”

Upon hearing Chen Sheng’s words, everyone was curious about this mysterious guest. An actress said, “Director, don’t keep us hanging. Hurry up and tell us who it is!”

Only then did Yuan Shu notice that Chu Mei didn’t come. However, she had caused such a huge commotion and the production team had stopped filming countless times because of her, so they probably would not invite her to such an occasion today.

Chen Sheng said, “Don’t be anxious. He’s already here..”
