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

Found

Shi Lu’s manager was called Yuan Yuan. He was the opposite of Director Chen. He was so scrawny that he was like a chopstick with four limbs. When the two of them stood in front of Yuan Shu, they were like a lion’s head and a toothpick. The contrast was very eye-catching.

Seeing that he was here, Yuan Shu made the long story short. “Your his manager? I’ve already called the police about his disappearance. You’re more familiar with the internet than me, so I’ll leave it to you.”

Yuan Shu extended her right hand to Yuan Yuan. She had learned a lot about the etiquette of this era during this period of time and knew that this was what she had to do when she introduced herself for the first time.

“Let’s get to know each other. I’m Shen Lu’s sister-in-law, Yuan Shu.”

After giving her instructions, Yuan Shu left with the bodyguards. Yuan Yuan froze for a moment before hurriedly following.

The missing person notice posted by the police on the official website was very useful. Not only did the upper-class circle know that Shi Lu had disappeared, but his fan club was even more anxious. They wanted to use all their strength to find him.

The hard work paid off. A girl from a small town left a message saying that she had seen Shi Lu riding an electric scooter to the beach near her home. That place was about 50 kilometers away from the production team.

Shi Lu walked on the beach leisurely, but he was heading deep into the sea.

The seawater reached his waist, then his muscular chest.

When even the top of his head was submerged, he could vaguely hear a girl screaming on the beach.

She probably thought that he was going to commit suicide, Shi Lu thought nonchalantly. Just as he was about to reveal himself and tell people not to worry, he felt a hand pressing on his head.

Someone was trying to murder him in broad daylight!

Shi Lu was flustered and choked on a few mouthfuls of water before the hand finally moved away.

Shi Lu struggled to stick his head out of the sea. Before he could take a few breaths of air, he was pressed into the water again. This happened a few times before he was finally scooped up.

“Cough, cough, cough… cough, cough…” Shi Lu, who was dragged to the beach, coughed with difficulty. He choked on a few mouthfuls of salty seawater, and his eyes were so uncomfortable that he couldn’t open them. He was in a sorry state.

Yuan Yuan and Chen Sheng, who had witnessed everything from the side, didn’t dare to say a word.

No wonder there were rumors that Yuan Shu and the Shi family were not on good terms.

There seemed to be some sort of deep hatred!

Shi Lu sat on the shore for a long time before he could finally see clearly. When his chest no longer felt so uncomfortable, the first thing he did was to find the person who pressed him into the water.

However, there was no one in a swimsuit around him, nor was there anyone drenched.

Except for a familiar figure.

Shi Lu narrowed his eyes. Yuan Yuan, who was beside him, hurriedly handed him a towel and put a thicker towel on him.

As Shi Lu wiped his face, he heard Yuan Yuan lament, “Brother Lu, you really scared us to death this time. If Madam Shi didn’t help, we might not have been able to find you.”

Madam Shi? Yuan Shu?

Shi Lu was in a daze. Other than his elder brother, Shi Xiao, no one in the entire Shi Clan had a wife. However, how could Yuan Shu be able to mobilize the Shi Clan’s power? She was useless.

Besides, Yuan Shu had never interfered in his matters in the past. Why did she interfere now?

Yuan Yuan was still nagging at him about what he was going to do later, about posting on Weibo to comfort his fans and prove that he didn’t have the intention to commit suicide. Shi Lu glanced at him impatiently. “Can’t you just do such a thing? Why do I have to listen to you?”

Yuan Yuan choked and was about to say something when she saw Shi Lu striding towards Yuan Shu.

“Were you the one who pressed me into the water a few times just now?” Shi Lu asked.

“Yes.” Yuan Shu was wrapped in a huge towel and drinking warm water.

The seaside was still a little cold, so cold that she didn’t want to talk to anyone at all. However, out of courtesy, she still looked at Shi Lu.

“Do you know what you did? You almost drowned me!” The angry Shi Lu suddenly calmed down when he saw her gaze.

Yuan Shu was completely drenched. Her white gauze dress was tightly stuck to her skin, and her usually well-groomed long hair was stuck to her face in a disheveled manner, making her face look even smaller.

There were still water droplets on her long eyelashes. As she blinked, they streaked across her face. She looked delicate and disheveled, like a small animal drenched in the heavy rain, making one feel pity for her.

Shi Lu’s tone softened, but he couldn’t help but reprimand Yuan Shu. “Are you crazy? Why are you interfering in my matters?”
