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

Trending Search

The surrounding people who heard their conversation couldn’t help but whisper. They even glanced at Shi Lu from time to time.

“Could Brother Lu really be a kept man?”

“It’s possible. He has such good resources the moment he debuted, and his looks match that Madam’s taste in men.”

Chu Mei gritted her teeth as she watched from the side.

They were both kept, but Shi Lu had better resources and better luck.

Chu Mei clicked the trending topic of her complaining about the Shi family, which had been trending for an entire day. She had been waiting for the Shi family’s response. If the Shi family still didn’t appear, it would basically confirm this news. She would definitely be able to overcome this!

The first post on the trending list came into view:

[The list of the 20th banquet of the Shi family is announced.]

Chu Mei was puzzled. After she scrolled down, she broke out in cold sweat.

The second trending topic: “Shi Xiao has returned safely.”

The third trending topic: “Madam Shi at the shopping mall.”

Chu Mei clicked on the title [Shi Xiao has returned safely] with trembling hands. Her imagination ran wild.

Shi Xiao was back? Was she doomed this time?

[This afternoon, someone took a photo of Shi Xiao’s wife, Yuan Shu, appearing in the largest shopping mall in our city and buying everything in the entire mall! At the same time, the Shi Corporation announced the invitation list for the 20th banquet. Mr. Shi Xiao has probably returned safely, so the entire Shi family is probably going to celebrate. Please wait for the Shi Corporation to announce the details.]

Chu Mei heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a guess. She wanted to see what the comments section said so that she could prepare a response in advance.

The comments section could be said to be a hodgepodge. There were cheers from the onlookers, saying, “So this is the life of a rich family.” There were people wailing, “Would it kill for me to be a rich person as well?” and so on.

One of the comments was trending: “Shi Xiao is back. Will we be able to find out the truth of Chu Mei’s pregnancy?! Is it abandonment or slander? I’m looking forward to it!”

Soon, Chu Mei’s fans started to clear her name.

[Please show mercy and don’t make wild guesses about Chu Mei.]

[Of course she’s pregnant! How can that Yuan Shu be worthy of Shi Xiao?]

[This is Yuan Shu’s photo. No matter how one looks at it, she’s not worthy of the Shi family, right? [picture]]

[Yuan Shu used some tricks to get married, right? She can’t compare to Chu Mei in terms of beauty!]

[This is Yuan Shu’s dark history. Please watch [link].]

…

Chu Mei had debuted two years ago and acted in three television dramas. She had a down-to-earth persona.

In addition, on talent shows, she created the image of someone from an “unhappy family”. Fans couldn’t help but put themselves in her shoes. Moreover, in the previous press conference, she lost a lot of fans, so all the fans left were the most loyal fans. Their strength naturally couldn’t be underestimated, and they praised Chu Mei profusely.

Moreover, people in the entertainment industry could control comments and belittle their opponents easily. Naturally, passerby comments couldn’t compare to theirs.

Looking at these comments, Chu Mei couldn’t help but feel guilty.

If it was in the past, she would still have the confidence to suppress Yuan Shu. After all, she had bad taste and didn’t know how to put on makeup properly, so the internet was filled with ugly photos of her.

But if it was now…

Chu Mei suddenly thought of the day Yuan Shu came to look for Shen Lu. She was beautiful without any makeup on and her aura was unparalleled in the entertainment industry.

Chu Mei was engrossed in reading the comments, and there were also many people in the production team who were gossiping.

Yuan Shu looked too stunning that day, so many people secretly took photos.

Although Chu Mei had set up a friendly persona for herself, she couldn’t keep pretending. She was the most stuck-up one in the production team, which was a stark contrast to Yuan Shu on that day.

Soon, other comments appeared in the Weibo comments section:

[Don’t compare other people’s ugly photos with your heavily photoshopped photos. Let’s see what a real bare-faced beauty looks like! [Picture]]

The picture was of Yuan Shu drinking tea with a small blanket wrapped around her. Her hair was wet and stuck to her face. She was curled up in the blanket and the tea in her hand was still misty. The mist gave her a soft glow.
