Chapter 567: Met Again at A Cocktail Party
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Si smiled and took the bank card for Mei Shu, persuading her warmly, “Just take it. Everyone has one, so there’s no need to feel embarrassed.”
Mei Shu glanced at the shining SVIP logo on the bank card and thought to herself that not everyone could have it.
Nevertheless, she accepted it.
As Lu Ting had said, it was rightfully hers. When Lu Si came to her house to meet her parents formally, she would also prepare a gift for him.
When the two of them went downstairs together, Lu Ting had already returned to his room.
After that day, Mei Shu immersed herself fully in her work and officially began to compete with Mei City.
True to her word, Mei Shu did not rely on Lu Si’s power. She took matters into her own hands, and soon she gained a good reputation in the industry.
She met Ye Yan again at a cocktail party.
He looked much more exhausted than before.
Mei Shu saw him from a distance, holding a glass of wine. It was as if she saw herself when she first took over the company, feeling exhausted like him.
She walked over and sat across from him, speaking as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years, “How have you been lately? I heard that under your leadership, the Ye family has swallowed up some old companies in just one month. It seems like Mir. Ye has taken my advice.”
Ye Yan looked up at her, his eyes lacking some of the previous fervor but filled with depth and restraint.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly at her words, called a waiter over with a snap of his fingers, took a sip of his drink, and then said, “Indeed, thanks to you. If you hadn’t woken me up in time, I might have remained foolish forever.”
Mei Shu smiled, “It’s nothing. I just said a few words.”
“Your words completely changed my destiny,” Ye Yan raised his glass, his expression showing a hint of unruliness, “I should toast to you for that.”
Mei Shu smiled and drank the wine from her glass.
[Congratulations, the host, your alcohol tolerance level has reached level 5.]
This system was useful. It even improved her level in this regard!
Ye Yan didn’t know why she suddenly became so happy.
But seeing her in a good mood, he was also infected and smiled, “Enough about me, how have you been lately? By the way, Mei City initially wanted me to pursue you and then ruthlessly dump you. You need to be careful of such scheming people.”
Mei Shu wanted to say that she had heard everything in the very beginning, but she just thanked him for reminding.
“I know. Recently, I’ve been competing with him,” she replied.
Ye Yan said, “You certainly have ways to deal with him, but while the enemy is in the open, you need to be vigilant against hidden arrows, especially from such treacherous individuals.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Shu’s eyes sparkled with amusement, “Speaking of treacherous individuals, didn’t you come to bother me after hearing what he said? You two are just the same.”
At this remark, Ye Yan felt a bit embarrassed and coughed lightly, “I was just fooling around back then, wasn’t 1? I just wanted to tarnish the reputation of the Ye family. 1 didn’t intend to hurt you.”
After saying that, he seemed to be a bit worried and earnestly at Mei Shu, “Please don’t hold a grudge against me, okay? I really know I was wrong. Since the day you said those words to me, I never thought about doing that again.”
Mei Shu just stared at him without saying a word.
Ye Yan suddenly felt flustered and at a loss, “Hey, Mei Shu, I really know 1 was wrong. Please don’t look at me like that. I’m scared.”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh, “What are you afraid of? Am I going to eat you?”
Ye Yan’s eyes suddenly became somewhat ambiguous, “If you want to eat, that’s not impossible.”
Come on, not again.
Mei Shu didn’t bother to chat with him and stood up to leave.
But Ye Yan grabbed her wrist, unsure of what had triggered him from Mei Shu’s words earlier, he suddenly turned into a hungry wolf, his eyes cautiously and carefully fixed on his prey.
“I’m serious, Mei Shu. 1 don’t think I’m inferior to Lu Si in any way. He just had a higher starting point than me. In the future, my Ye family will reach the same level as the Lu family. Consider me, okay?”
“Ye Yan, do you want to die?”
Lu Si’s cold voice rang out as he strode over and separated their hands.
Ye Yan retracted his hand in embarrassment and rubbed his fingers as if he hadn’t had enough. “Mr. Lu, long time no see.”
Lu Si ignored him and lowered his head to take out a tissue to wipe Mei Shu’s hand carefully. “I just left you for a while, and you came to find him. Why?”
Mei Shu said, “Just chatting a bit. Let’s sit over there.”
Lu Si obediently followed her, but everyone who passed by him couldn’t help but shiver.
Mei Cheng saw the two of them holding hands from afar, and a sense of unwillingness surfaced in his heart.
He whispered something to the woman beside him.
The two exchanged smiles and then the woman went upstairs, presumably to do something.
Mei Shu caught sight of this scene out of the corner of her eye and didn’t miss the hint of resentment in Mei Cheng’s eyes. She smiled and looked away.
Soon, Mei Shu found out what ATei Cheng had done.
Some people resorted to despicable means and couldn’t think of any classy way to achieve their goals. They thought others would fall for their tricks just like them..
