Shi Lu was a little surprised to see Chu Mei standing there as well.
No matter how uninterested he was in this woman, they were from the same production team after all. He had heard of her glorious deeds, especially since a few days ago, she even held a news conference. Weibo was in an uproar.
Shi Lu looked at Yuan Shu quietly to see her reaction.
However, Yuan Shu didn’t seem to care about Chu Mei at all. She asked Shi Yi, “Are you sure you want to quarrel here? Or do you want her to put on an act here? Do you think there are too few programs?”
When Shi Yi saw her nonchalant expression, she flew into a rage. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Do you think Chu Mei isn’t embarrassing enough for the Shi family?”
Yuan Shu stared at Shi Yi and said word by word, “Firstly, do you have evidence to prove that the child in Chu Mei’s stomach is your brother’s? Secondly, didn’t you hear what 1 said just now? Your brother is coming back soon. When he comes back, we’ll settle it in person. Are you in such a hurry to let the child acknowledge him as his father? Thirdly, you said that you think she’s embarrassing our family, so don’t you think it’s embarrassing for you to fly back to the country and make a scene at the banquet?”
Shi Yi was speechless for a moment. When she heard Yuan Shu’s last sentence, she looked around and realized that many curious eyes were looking at her.
Yuan Shu closed her eyes and rubbed her temples in frustration.
She remembered that the third daughter of the Shi family in the book spent most of her time studying fashion design overseas and was basically in a laissez-faire state. Her childhood of neglect and lack of discipline had led to her willful and rash personality.
It seemed that there was still a long way to go before she could bring these brats from the Shi family back to the right path…
At this moment, Shi Bin returned with two colorful cocktails and handed one to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu took it, but after glancing at what it was, she placed it on the table beside her.
Shi Bin didn’t see Yuan Shu’s move.
Only then did he notice Chu Mei, who was standing beside Shi Yi and he immediately remembered what the family doctor had said that day.
Shi Bin also put down the wine in his hand and immediately scolded, “It’s you again! Let me ask you, the scandal between you and my brother only happened a month ago, right? Our doctor said that you’re already three months pregnant! Whose bastard is the child? You even want to frame my brother?”
When Chu Mei heard this, she was so frightened that her entire body was trembling.
No, she couldn’t expose herself!
This was for the sake of her career, her future, and everything!
With this thought in mind, she took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as she said, “The time of the scandal isn’t when we started having sex. How could I joke about such a thing?”
At this moment, Shi Lu suddenly interrupted, “Since you’re so sure and so anxious to acknowledge the child’s father, there’s another way to testify things for you.”
“What way?”
Shi Yi, Shi Bin, and Yuan Shu said in unison.
After saying that, the three of them looked at each other quizzically.
Shi Lu was also a little puzzled by their sudden tacit understanding, but she didn’t say anything.
After he looked at Chu Mei, he pointed at Shi Yi. “Take some of Chu Mei’s blood and compare it with Shi Yi’s hair.”
Yuan Shu was a little surprised.
In the past, if they wanted to verify their blood relationship, other than some tricks like observing the feelings of different people towards their children, they could only do it by dripping blood. Moreover, this could only be done after the child was born.
She couldn’t help but marvel that this world had really improved too much. It seemed that she really had to work hard to adapt to the culture and technology here.
When Shi Yi heard this, she was enlightened. “I didn’t expect this method! But her child hasn’t been born yet. Is it useful to draw blood?”
Shi Lu was a little impatient, but he held back his anger and explained, “Yes, her plasma will have the DNA of the baby.”
Shi Yi glanced at Shi Lu and for once, she didn’t mock her.. Instead, she smiled and said to Chu Mei, “Then let’s do the test after the banquet tonight!”
